ASSOCIATIONS.
Editor of The Advertiser:

Editor or The Advertiser:
shall be very grateful If you will
publish the following constitution
have submitted 1t to many OF the
high school men of the State and they
have approved Of the plan most heart
lily. There is no doubt but that ora
tory and athletics should be encour-
aged in our high schools, for it will
arouse school spirit and friendly ri
valry az nothing else can. AT the
same time they should be controlled
and kept on high plane and the
only way to do this is TO regulate
| them by uniform rules. If other fea-
lures can be added in some of the
counties 1t may be done.
| There Is no excuse for Il schools
not organizing for lack of Information
| or how to do track work. WRITE AT
ONCE to Dr. f. X. Calhoun, Clemson
College. S. c., for receut bulletin
he has issued 1t is one of the best
ever saw on track athletics. Cuts
are given showing different forms.
Members of the Clemson track team
will also be willing to go out to the
schools accessible for expenses and
help a school get started off in the
work.

CHOLERA SUSPECT HERE.
City Physician Keeping Morris kotIer
An Emiorant, Under Surveillance

This city has become the residence
Of one OF the many emigrants who
came from cholera infested districts of
Europe, and thru information received
from the federal government, the local
health officers are watching the man.
Morris kotler. Russian Jew, who, ac-
cording to the Information from the
government. came from a district in
northern Russia in which cholera is
prevalent, recently reached the city.
Upon receipt of the information fur
nished by the government the man was
found and City Physician r. G. Brady
said Thursday that he had required
kotler to report to him every day, but
as yet there was no Indication Of his
having contracted the disease. He
thought, owing to the number of weeks
Kotler had been absent from his native
country, that there was little chance of
him having contracted the disease.
Kotler is blacksmith. He Is living
at the Is. Graisek iicme. At the junk
yard. corner of South First avenue and
Nevada street. A number of European
cholera suspects have been traced to
other Iowa cities where they are being
watched.

Seeking Relatives
After Many Years

A rather pathetic appeal has come to
the Times Republican from q Colorado
woman. asking this newspaper to help
her find relatives from whom she has
been separated for more than thirty
years. Her letter is the story Of an
orphan who was adopted by others.
and who is now seeking to find rela-
tlves whom she has really never known.
In her letter, Mrs. Gertie Young. Of
near Delta, Colo. writes that II she can
find relatives whom she Is searching
for she will come to Iowa. The letter
is In part as follows: II wish you could
tell me II you know Of any people by
the name of Meeks. living in or about
the country of Iowa. When a little
Child my father was killed. His name
was Sanders. He was a railroad man.
My mother, being in poor health. adopt
ed me to a family by the name OF
Schoolcraft They moved to Colorado
when I was 2 years old. Being 80 now
and never knowing my own name or
my own peoples name until the death
of my adopted mother / am anxious to
find some Of my people. My mothers
name was Meeks before she was mar
ried to Sanders. If can get trace
of any Of them I will make trip to
the state. 1t Is a long time to trace
back but there are surely some Of the
people living yet" Anyone who can be
Of assistance to Mrs. Young will doubt
