WOMAN TAKES A
RAP AT 0TTUMWA
CITY BECAUSE OF
POOR HORSES AND ABSENCE
OF HUMANE SOCIETY.

Miss Brooks of Burlington seems to
have gained poor impression OF OF
tumwa upon her last visit here. In
fact the sight Of a few poor horses on
the street has made her so perturbed
in mind and spirit that she has taken
1t upon herself to give vent to her
feelings in warm letter to Mayor S.
H. Harper. She advises the establish
ment OF humane society for the city
because she believes that the poor
dumb beasts of Ottumwa are fearfully
maltreated. She also makes the dec
laration that Ottumwa or any city for
that matter will never be real big
city with out the presence Of an or
ganization Of humane beings to look
after the poor dumb brutes. Miss
Brooks also condescends a bit of ad-
vice for the mayor to talk it over with
the business men and see what can be
done. She is DESTROYS upon her visit
to Ottumwa to see that the working
horses of the city are the best in the
state, even as they are at present in
Burlington. She incidentally gives her
home city pat on the back.
Mayor Harper states that he will be
compelled to inform Miss Brooks that
Ottumwa has humane society, the
kind that she speaks Of.
The letter which Miss Brooks
penned to Mayor Harper with it's good
advice il as follows:
To tha Mayor of Ottumwa,
Dear Sir:
While visiting in your city short
time ago, ! noticed how badly in need
you are of Humane society, some
enc to look after the poor faithful
horses. You will never have city
without one. for that is one thing
against a place. poor looking horses.
/ have been in many places but never
have seen worse looking horses or
such unkind treatment to them as In
your city. l wish you could visit Bur-
lington. know you would say and
think the same as everyone has. that
we have the finest city and the best
looking working horses in the state Of
Iowa wish l might be able to say
the same of your place the next time l
visit there. Talk it over with your
business men. I know they will help
you-our business men were the lead
ing ones and they are very proud of
1t as 1t has been such big improve
ment to our town.
a' Sincerely yours,
Miss Brooks.

The Borrowed Dollar.

| Debt has been pictured by many
writers as a hard taskmaster and the
borrowed dollar is the most abused of
currency, but it is nevertheless de-
velopment dollar, as it possesses vol
ume and activity, two of the most i'm
portant factors in our progress to a
/ greater degree than any other form Of
legal tender. When in the hands of
operators not familiar with its pur
poses and habits, it sometimes creates
havoc and ruin, but it has rescued
many sinking enterprise, has per
formed deeds Of industrial heroism
and it has been the burden bearer OF
industry.
No man OF animal possesses the |
active instincts of the borrowed dol |
| lar. When in bad hands it quickly !
returns to its owner or moves rapidly
on through the channels of trade un.
til il finds a competent hand to guide
it where it can glorify its creator
without being rallied at by incompe
tent owners or incapable directory. II
has fought our battles, built our cities
and developed the industry and COM
merce of the country. During times
Of prosperity efforts have been made
to drive it from circulation but dur
ing adversely, we send emissarles
to plead for its return and it is
, sought after by every important en-
, terprise in the country.
, Idle dollars, like idle men. are nc
, good to a community but the charge
Of vagrancy can never be made
y against the borrowed dollar No
one will borrow money and let 1t M
y idle. Idleness is its mortal foe ant
i, is certain destruction. The borrowed
. dollar must move rapidly on t
a journey and return heavily ladel
!, with the fruits of its toll or 1t vii
&c perish. No other form of eurrenc
)c possesses such compelling forces o
o activity as the borrowed dollar.

TOOUlS.
THE rural high school law is
adapted to the needs of every county
in the state regardless of population
and educational development. If
you are having difficulty in putting
1t into operation, perhaps it is due TO
lack of clear understanding of
it's intent. 1t is one of the wisest
and best laws ever passed in Texas,
and in a short while we will be see
ing the advantages that it has
brought to our boys and girls.
The State Board of Education
recently purchased $53 900 of school
bonds of various counties at 5 per
cent and par for the benefit of the
school fund The board made ap-
preparations for state aid under the
act of the thirty-second legislature,
varying from $500 to SO, 1000, for the
purpose of establishing departments
Of domestic science, agriculture and
manual training in various common
and Independent districts through
out the state.
| The classification OF the country
schools, the adoption of course of
study, and the establishment of rural
high schools are matters of para
mount importance at this time. THE
new county boards have a great OPP
portunity to render a lasting and
patriotic service to the educational
interests of the state in performing
the functions as contemplated in the
Rural High School Law, 1t is en-
couraging to see how the public spir-
| tied men of the state are accepting
places on the boards and assuming
the arduous duties and responsible
| ties OF such a position.
Il Two features of the San Antonio
schools are especially noticeable
namely: The six year course and thu
night school. Both of these are al
attempt to adapt the school to tn
needs of a worthy class Of the PEG
pie. The six grade course Is offere'
to certain designated schools on &C
count of many children having t.
leave school at the end of the sixtl

HURLEY CONTRACTS
WITH CHOCTAWS
oeta ormsby MeHsfe's Position as
Tribal Attorney Appointment is
Result of L9rrg Friendship.

Tulsa. okla sept 12-The Choe-
taw nation has entered into a contract
with Patrick ]. Hurley Of this city al
attorney, and known ID republican po-
Illtlcal circles the state over, whereby
Hurley is 10 be attorney for that tribe
TO succeed Ormsby .McHarg Of New
York at salary Of $4,000 a year and
personal expenses. The contract has
been forwarded to President Taft for
his approval Mr.. Hurley will handle
the Washington end Of the tribes bus
mess and will direct the legal handling
OF property valued at $4,000, 600
A friendship dating back to boyhood
enters into the selection Of Mr. Hurley
as attorney for the Choctaws which is
one Of the most coveted "plums" in
this state. Chief Dick" Locke, the
boy chief of the Choctaws, and Mr..
Hurley grew up together and when
youths formed a friendship that neither
time nor distance has been able to
diminish. When Ormsby McHarg gave
notice to the department of the inter-
ior he would not continue as Choctaw
tribal attorney after notice had been
given him the salary would be reduced
from $4,000 to $4,000 a year Chief
Locke Immediately turned to Mr.. Hur-
ley and succeeded in having him made
attorney of the tribe whose affairs no
man in this state is more familiar
with.
Mr. Hurley is but % years of age.
He is a graduate of the Indian univer-
sity at Bacone, Okla, and the National
university at Washington, D. c. Last
fall he made the race for state senator
from the thirty-frst senatorial district
embracing Tulsa and Washington coun-
ties and although the district is over
whelmingly democratic he held his
democrats opponent, A. F. Vandeven-
ter down to the very narrow majority
of nine votes.
Hurley's personal popularity caused
democrats by the score to openly es-
pose his candidacy. He has been fire.
quently mentioned as a republican can
didate for congress from the third dis
trict next year.
