mails Die Hard.

Keokuk, April o. Not since the
west, when wild animals nightly came
from their lair to prey upon the un-
protected stock of the pioneer settler,
has there been such a pillage as is now
going on TN Lee county. Farmers have
already suffered hundreds Of dollars
worth Of damage with no prospects Of
bringing the costly devastation to an
end
For two weeks a. pack of timber
wolves have been thriving on the stock
of the farmers OF Montrose and Jackson
townships. More than one hundred
men, comprising in their numbers the
youngster in knee pants and the gray
bearded old man, have joined in the
wolf hunt which IS now becoming a
nightly occurrence. Despite their ef-
forts the slaughter has continued
without abatement. Many Of the
farmers are already prepared to file
claims with the county because Of the
damage they have suffered. 1t is the
first real wolf hunt that has been en-
gagged In for sixteen years and the out
lying districts or the county are teem-
ing with excitement for the people.
Never has wolf hunt carried with it
more thrills than the present one and
farmers for miles around have been at
tracted to the scene. The wolves have
been seen on numerous occasions. One
hunter claims to have filled one OF the
animals with buck shot, to have seen
the wild beast tumble over, only to
recover and scurry away without being g
captured, Several times the wolves
have been tracked to a deep ravine,
only to elude pursuit. Two wolf hounds
have been secured from Denmark and
are being put on the trail.
1t Is difficult to estimate the number
Of lambs and sheep that have been
killed by the wolves. In four or five
flocks in Montrose township alone no
less than seventy-five have been
slaughtered.

PASSING OF OLD SCHOOL
Denmark Academy, Oldest Institution
Of Learning in State, to Cease to
High School Purposes.

Special to Times-Repubican.
Des Moines, April 2s--Denmarl.
Academy. the oldest institution of
learning in the state, is soon to lose it's
distin ctive character as an academy
and become a rural high school. The
academy has declined until it no long
er can be sustained on its endowment.
An effort was made to see if there was
not some way to have it supported in
part by taxation without losing it's pri-
vate character but this could not be
done and now it is to be put up to the
voters of that part Of Lee county
whether or not they will take over the
academy and have it operated as a
public school,
Denmark academy was founded in
1s43 by Father" Turner. the pioneer
Iowa missionary who came into the
territory to blaze the pathway for all
the churches. 1t was here in this
academy that the iowa band" Of mis-
sion workers, fresh from Andover. met
and planned their work, and when they
left Denmark Academy it was never
against to meet in one body.
When Henry K. Edison took charge
of the academy in 1852 there were
eighteen students enrolled. He soon
built it up until there were 250. Edison
and his wife took charge on the salary
of $500 year for both. They re-
mained for twenty-seven years in
charge and made the academy famous
thruout the land as one of the great
little institutions Of learning. During
their time they graduated 1890 stu
dents. The endowment was raised to
$25, 900 and good buildings were erect
ed.
Some notable men have been edu-
Gated at Denmark Academy, among
them Thomas McClelland. one time
president Of Tabor; II. C. Adams of
Michigan University and C. K. Adams.
president Of Cornell University many
years
At one time Denmark was a thriving
town of some pretensions but the rail-
roads passed it by and it is still a vii
lage set out on prairie 1T is the plan
that the township take over the acad-
envy and maintain a high school that
will still be known by the old historic
name

Des Moines. April 29.-The Home
stead, whose owner. Mr.. Pierce, is an
uncompromising standpatter who has
taken deep interest in the fight which
has been waged for years to put Sena-
tor Cum Minis out Of commission. is out
in the last issue with a call for the
farmers of all the grain belt states to
write personal letters to their senators
and oppose the administration pro-.
gram. The Homestead calls attention
to the fact that If the party alignment
is maintained in the senate, or in other
words. if the republicans all vote as a
majority of the republican members
decide, the Taft agreement will be de-
feated.
1T is highly important therefore"
says the Homestead, that every farm

graph to the two sena tors representing
the state in which he lives, demanding
that they protect his interests and vote

Minis and Kenyon.
So far as known the Taft club as
an organization has taken no steps to
counteract this attack upon the presi- =
