EXHIBIT A REVELATION.
Citizens Inspecting Public School
Exhibit Amazed at Excellence
of Work Shown.

The annual exhibit of the manual
training and drawing departments of
the city schools was held at the high
school building on Friday afternoon
and evening, and the large number
of citizens who inspected the exhibit
were surprised at its extent and eX-
cellence. In each department of
school work there were exhibits,
showing the training of the mind
and the hand from early childhood
to young manhood and womanhood.
In drawing, both in sketching and
colors, in modelling from clay, in
sewing, in basket making, in compo-
sition work and in the higher grades
of manual training work there was
plenty to be seen, and all of it gave
evidence of the careful training the
pupils are receiving along these lines
as well as in other departments of
school work. The pieces of furni-
ture made by the young men of the
kigh school would do credit to many
a cabinet maker. They were all sur
prisingly accurate in design and exc
cution.- In fact the showing in each
grade from the lowest to the highest
was such that loyal citizens of De-
corah seeing it at once became proud
of our public school system.
1t has been suggested that the ex-
bit be taken to the state fair, as
an advertisement for DEBORAH. This
is good idea, but we believe it also
should be shown at the Winneshiek
county fair, so that the people of the
county may see the splendid work
done in our schools, and this might
be the means of attracting more PEG.
pie here to take advantage of the
school facilities for their children.

The Soldier Dead.

Hallowed by a supreme sanctity
are the graves of the soldier dead.
So it was in the days of the ancient
races, and SO it will be when the last
war has been fought and the battle
flags forever furled. Those who have
offered themselves as a sacrifice for
their flag and their country, who
have endured the hardships of camp
and march, or who have fallen in
the red carnage of battle, have a
peculiar claim upon the gratitude
and affection of succeeding genera
tions.
In no land has this claim been
more freely recognized than in our
own, and no people was ever before
so generous in its tribute to its fall
en- heroes, or in its treatment of
those who came home from its wars.
When returning springtime brings
its flowers, in all their eloquent
beauty and symbolism, we celebrate
a Memorial Day which is character
istic OF the spirit of the republic.
1t is now an even half century
since the beginning of the stupendous
conflict for the preservation of the
Union, and the anniversary is bring
ing home with renewed emphasis the
sacrifices and the significance of
those dark days. Happily, it brings
also a greater appreciation of the
complete reunion of the severed sec
tons, and of the peace and prosper
ity which blesses the land.
Before General Logan wrote the
order, in 1868, which was the begin
ming of the popular and official de-
dication of May both to the patriot
dead, tender impulse of woman
hood in the stricken South had be-
gun the beautiful custom of strew-
ing with blossoms the passionless
mounds of those who had fallen in
the passion of battle.
The usage and the association of
years have consecrated the day
above our other holidays. Upon it
there CLEANS glory which lightens
the past, and which shows us that
the blood and the tears were not
shed in vain, and that the fruition
of the sacrifice justifies the seed
which was sown.--Youths Compan-
ION.

Best Way.

The speediest and easiest way to
benefit mankind would be for every
person to reform his own life, re-
CARELESS of what others are doing.
Such policy would bring about a
change for the better in both public
and private affairs, and so alter the
relationship of mankind that every
one would strictly mind his own
business. Meddlesome persons who
are continually prying into other
peoples affairs and carrying tales be-
tween friends and acquaintance
create a great deal of mischief, are
best contented when they can spread
scandal. 1t seems more natural for
Them to speak Ill of person than to
utter words of praise, and their
habit of gossiping becomes so fixed
that they can talk scandal almost
unconsciously. 1t is just as easy to
say good words for friends and &C
quaintances, even If not wholly de-
served, as it is to speak i'll of them,
and the effect on the community is
always beneficial in a general way.
Scandal gathers strength as it travels
by word of mouth and can never be
recalled when once in circulation.
Try speaking well of everyone and
see what a change it will make in
your own happiness as we'll as in the
welfare of others.

BOLD ATTEMPT
 TO KIDNAP CHILD
(From Sundays Daily.)

Accused of foreibly attempting to kidnap his twO-yearold daughter, Margaret. last night, who is in the custody of Mrs. Sam Dreyer, at her home on Union street, and for using
 ntimidating language, Ed. Freeman was arrested and taken to the county jail on the charge of disturbing the peace and placed under bonds of $50 to appear for trial tomorrow. He was liberated by a friend furnishing this security.
 The affair created considerable com motion in that section of the city, and according to a statement made last night by Mrs. Drever. Freeman : bold demonstration was uncalled fol She said:
 "Ever since the birth of the child nearly two years ago. it has been in my care and custody constantly. Free man returned to Prescott two days ago. from San Francisco. and to- night attempted to take the girl away by force. entering my home, and in an ungentlemanly manner making a demand that I could not countenance. l secured a butcher knife and held nm at pay. Tn the meantime the girl implored me to keep her in the room and said she did not wish to leave. Mrs. Freeman left Prescott about two weeks ago and is in Cal ifornia. Freeman filed suit for divorce in San Francisco recently ans h's appearance at this time and under the circumstances was a great sur prise to me, as well as others who are conversant with their relations in the past. l have been expecting this coup for several days, however. but at that particular time was thrown off my guard, and while there was company in the room, d;d not anti cipate that it would be carried out at such an unusually late hour. Until Mrs. Freeman returns, and the family troubles are adjusted by the courts, will continue to keep the child in my possession at all hazards.
 Freeman was formerly a resident of this city and his marriage took place here about three years ago.

 When questioned by City Recorder Robinson they all admitted that they were cigarette smokers of course.
 This admission angered the recorder and he turned upon the ringleader and asked, "where do you get your tobacco, who sells it to yOu9"
 "Oh! We get it from the older boys and we don't ask them where hey get it," nonehalantly replied one of them.

 WASHINGTON, D. C., Aug. l9. - The flag that Betsy Ross started in 1776 has been completed and congress has placed the last of our domestic territories in the statehood class. Fol lowing the Presidents veto Chairman Flood supported by all but two Dem ocrats, members of the territories committee, voted to endeavor to pass the Flood resolution over the Presi- dents veto but were outnumbered in the committee by the five Republic an members and two Democrats and shortly before 6 o'clock the Smith resolution, passed yesterday by the senate, was cOncurred in without a roll call. Delegate Ralph H. Cameron, who was elected to congress upon the promise to Arizona that he would se- cure statehood or never ask for a political office again, made a speech appealing to Democratic and Repub- liean patriotism alike to give the ter ritories their just rights and had the co+;Sfocf;op of ,ri4nace;pO 4ba ,,oesooo of resolution identical with which he has advocated since the converting of congress. A telegram from Joe Dillon and John Robinson of the Democratic Territorial committee was read expressing the gratitude of the Arizona Democrats for Chairman Floods attitude and Republican Lead CT Mann, explained the very doubt ful value of MT. Floods service by telling the house the very doubtful substance of the conversations had between MT. Taft and the Republican majority and Chairman Flood before the original Flood resolution was passed. MT. Mann, maintained that there could have been no misunder- standing of the President's position and pointed out that statehood under the present resolution would have been attained long ago but for the unworthy purpose conceived in the minds of certain designing Arizona politicians, and prompted in congress by Chairman Flood and other Demo-

The resolution admits New Mexico with provisions for making its constitution easier of amendment.
 The resolution passed after a spirit ed' two hours, debate. Flood said the Democrats favored passing the orig inaI bill over the Presidents veto but knowing that such an attempt would he useless decided to take the step to insure immediate admission. He insisted that the question at issue was not the judiciary recall, but whether the people had the right to make laws to suit themselves so long as they do not violate the federal constitution. He said before the orig ;nal bill was framed Taft had given no int;mation that he would disap- prove any of the provisions that were later included in the measure.
 The Republicans headed by Lead,r Mann and former Speaker Cannon. lauded Taft and denounced the judi eiary recall as destructive of a Re publican form of government. Len root of Wisconsin, said the Demo- cratic majority would be blamed as much as the President for the failure of Arizona to get the constitution to which it was entitled because no attempt was made to pass the original bill over the veto. Republi- can Insurgent Sims of Tennessee and Raker of California also favored vote on the motion to override the veto and Flood explained that if Ari- zonans wanted the judiciary recall after entering the Union they could have it by their own initiative in a few weeks after it becomes a state despite the opposition of the Presi- dent or anybody else. He read tele- grams from Arizona Democratic lead CTS urging the objection of the Presi- dent be immediately met If the veto could not be Overridden.

afterward. He and Organ came over to town at about Q a. m. yesterday, but after short time Organ return ed and the next time he was seen by Cahill in the afternoon was dead.
 MT. CahiH is of the opinion that the beer can was picked up the day before by Organ near the cabin and filled when he returned home that night. Early. in the morning the two men commenced to drink freely. and it would appear that Miller sueeumbed shortly afterward. An effort was made to arouse him from his sleep be- fore 9 o'clock. but was abandoned, Organ informing Cahill that Miller was naturally obstinate and to per nit him to lie in bed until they re- turned from town.
 After Organ and Cahill separated, under effects of the liquor, and in- stead of going to the saloon on North Cortez street. to perform his daily labOrs. retraeed his steps to the cabin and expired a short time afterward. There remains in the can a small amount of beer, possibly two glasses. IL contained when full about eleven glasses. of which Miller is said to have taken at least four in succession when he laid down in bed and passed away. without ever uttering a word or giving any alarm that death was approaching.
 Both bodies were removed from the place in the afternoon and an inquest will be held this afternoon at O. clock in Ruffner's parlors by Justice of the Peace McLane. Organ was about 76 years old and Miller was over j5 wears.
