Murder.

The criminal business during the
September term of the district court
which opens in Keokuk on Monday,
September 25 and will be presided ov-
er by Judge w. S. Hamilton of Fort
Madison, does not promise to provide
anything sensational nor be over-bur-
densome, if the present outlook is
any Indication OF what is going to
transpire. or course there is the re-
port Of the grand jury to be consid-
cred, but then the citizens OF Keokuk
and the farmers Of the lower half of
the county are usually content with
dealing in matters of criminal ma
ture which the courts have already
touched rather than probing into
matters pertaining to vice and cor
ruption brought to them in an indi-
rect manner. Sensational copy" is
seldom obtained as a result of grand
jury probing in the county
The grand jury will be asked to in
vestigate one murder charge-that
against Jack Roland, negro, for the
killing of his common law wife, Mrs.
Lilly Jones, white woman Roland
was bound over to the grand jury sew
eral months ago and since then has
been confined in the county Jail If
indicted his case will likely be contin-
ued over the September term unless
plea of guilty Is made, which is
customary in cases of this character.
Charles NJ. Mathieson, who has been
lingering in the county Jail for more
than month since his recent capture
after a mysterious escape from St
Joseph's hospital where he had been
operated on for appendicitis, will be
tried for two crimes. Mathieson has
been indicted for forgery and uttering
a forged instrument. 1t is understood
he has engaged counsel and is prepar.
ed to offer defense Mathieson still
refuses to disclose details of his es
cape.
There are number of minor Grim
inalities which will engage the atten.

A Matter of Self Preservation.

The Clinton Herald: The Clinton
man who is inclined to look upon the
movement which has been Inaugural
ted looking toward the upbuilding of
the eastern Iowa cities as of little con-
sequence is making the great mistake
of his life,
The movement is going to grow and
it is going to become most impor-
tant factor in the future of the Iowa
cities located on the Mississippi river.
The city that ignores this fact and
fails to enter heartily into the move
ment is going to suffer in proportion
to the neglect that it shows. All will
benefit to greater or less extent but
the cities that will benefit the most
are those that show the greatest en-
thusiasm and the greatest enterprise.
This is an age of publicity and no
other one factor enters so largely in
the development of the business of
the individual or the municipality as
this same publicity. Iowa municipal
tiles have learned lesson from some
of their more progressive neighbors
in the east and are getting in the
game with vengeance. They pro.
pose 10 profit by the experience OF
others that have demonstrated the

NAUVCO, Ill. Sept. 16-The Utah
Mormon elders flocked into Nauvoo
Thursday in large numbers. At this
writing there ere about sixty here and
by the time this gets into print there
will be two or three hundred. Their
object in coming here is to visit the
old stamping ground of their fore-fath-
ers and perhaps make few converts,
but this field Is not over ripe for the
latter. They are gentlemanly lot Of
people, but the accommodations are
meagre. However, by circulating about
this beautiful little city among the
most hospitable people on earth, these
men who are with US this Friday, Sat
urday and Sunday found places to
sleep and eat and the best in the land
at that Nauvoo always welcomes
strangers within its borders at all
times if they are welcome guests and
these people who are visiting us now
seem to be gentlemen and our people
are doing all in their power to make
their stop pleasant here. They are
holding interesting meetings and are
attracting large crowds and these
meetings are instructive and enter
tanning.
Mr.. Fred Tanner, one of our most
extensive wine growers, has manu-.
featured over 1000 gallons of juice
and of the best quality at that. 1t is
a pleasing sight to go down in his un
derground cave and view those nam
moth casks that Mr.. Tanner has and
gentleman disposes of most of his
product in the northern markets
principally st. Paul.
Watermelons and sweet potatoes
are plentiful in Nauvoo now and they
all come from the Iowa side across
this big creek. Grapes and apples are
a drug in the market. The Nauvoe
housewife has the cellars filled with
fruit and vegetables and the familie:
will not suffer for eatables this com
/ ing winter.
| This week ended the grape harvest
| in Nauvoo. The wine making is done
and it is estimated that over 100000
gallons are placed in casks. 1t is claim
ed that this years harvest is one OF
the largest ever raised here.
The schools of St Mary's Academy
and the Spaulding institute are very
popular and in a short time will be
overcrowded.
Mr.. NJ Lyle who is the new barber
In Jos. Welter's parlors is giving
splendid satisfaction. He is an enter
tanning and accommodating young
man.
The clam diggers and fishermen
have still prolific season in the big
creek about Nauvoo.
We are having plenty of rain in
Nauvoo and vicinity but almost every
thing in the crop line is out of dan
ger. Taking all things into considera-
ton this has been prosperous crop
year for our farmers and Nauvoo peo-
Pile They have no reason for com
plant although some things in the
vegetable line was complete failure,
but some seem to think that crop
of all things ought to be raised every
year.

schools. l can answer the question
for you. No one. But how many
local boards hold regular and special
meets, discuss the qualifications of
the teachers, assume the authority
of repremanding them, dismiss them
and employ new. teachers for another
term and then notify the superintend-
ent of their action. The local board
has no authority, whatever, to repre-
1nand, to dismiss or to employ teach
ers. This is the duty of the superin-
tendent.
Upon the recommendation of
the superintendent the parish board
shall determine the number Of
schools to be opened, the location of
the school houses, the number of
teachers to be employed and their
salaries"
/ trust that all local school board
members will take much pride and
interest in looking after the physical
conditions and needs of their schools
and will not attempt to exercise any
authority that does not belong to
them. Yours very truly,

OF INTEREST TO SCHOOL BOARD
MEMBERS.

Covfngton, La, May "a, 1911.
Editor St. Tammany Farmer:
CovingtOn, La.
Dear Sir-Will you kindly allow
me space to speak a few words to
the local school board memb ers of
this parish relative to their duties.
They seemed to be wholly unimform-
ed as to what their duties are. They
seem to think that they have the right
to elect teachers, dismiss them and to
reprimand them at their will. To all
local school board members who
think that such are your duties, the
sooner that you are informed that
school laws of Louisiana give you
absolutely no authority at all what
ever, the better it will be for you, for
the school of which you are patron
and for the parish school board and
the parish superintendent. Below l
give you the law relative to the
duties of local or auxiliary school
hoard members:
Each parish board is authorized
it, appoint, at it's discretion, auxiliary
visiting trustees for each ward as
school district, or in the parish; such
trustees shall make quarterly reports
to the parish board of the actual
condition. Of the schools and shall
make needful suggestions in all mat
tiers relating to the schools they have
in charge as trustees. The members
of the parish board shall visit and
examine the schools in the several
school districts of the parish from
time to time, and they shall meet
and advise with the trustees when
occasion requires, if auxiliary trus-
tees be appointed by the parish
beard"
Right here I want to ask how
many local boards make quarterly
reports to the parish board of the
actual conditions and needs of their
