Will NOT

Druggists Abandon Agreement to
Close Places Of Business one
Day in Week.

The agreement between the drug
gists Of Webster City to close their
places OF business on Sunday, as
published in Fridays Freeman
Tribune, has been abandoned and
the several drug stores interested
will follow their usual custom In re-
lation to this matter, as in the past.
One OF the druggists notified the
others Saturday that he had re-
considered the matter of closing on
that day and that he would forfeit
the fifty dollars deposited, as he had
not given the proposition any
thought when he signed the agree
ment for Sunday closing.

alive in the Sunday closing move
ment, says he will not open his
place of business on Sundays in the
future and there perhaps may be one
or two others who will do the same

Methodists are Divided.

Hampton Chronicle: The reports
indicate that the eastern and west
ern Iowa Methodist conferences,
taking in the territory across the
northern part of the state, showed
quite difference in regard to whom
the ministers were going to support
for president. At the Upper Iowa
conference, held a week ago at Mar
shalltown, a large per cent of the
clergymen favored Roosevelt. Out
at Storm Lake this week, where the
Northwest Iowa conference was held,
the result of a poll was just the OPP
posite, showing that Roosevelt did
not have a single supporter. VIII
son was the choice at this meeting.

SUBMARINE SWAMPS;;
TWO SEAMEN DROWN
Giant Wave Drives Little Craft
.a.. Ashore.

jacksonville, CAL, Oct. IA.
Turbett of Newark, N. J., seamen on
board the United States submarine
FL, were drowned yesterday when
a giant wave swept over the little
craft, which later went aground
near Port jacksonville. The extent
of the damage to the submarine
could not be determined. Low tide
left it upright in the sand in three
feet of water
Schroeder and Turbet we're on
watch at daybreak, with another
seaman named "Blinky," when a ris-
ing sea tore the submarine from its
mornings to buoy. Before the sea-
men could get control of the steer
ing gear the deck was engulfed in
a wave and Schroeder and Turbett
were carried overheard.
The third seaman saved himself
by grasping the railing. He was
badly bruised and almost drowned
when rescued few minutes later
by his comrades. The body Of Tur-
bett was washed ashore late yester-
day. Schroeder's body has not been
recovered.
The thirteen remaining members
of the boats crew fought for six
hours to save the craft from being
beached When it was seen that the
vessel was being driven irresistibly
inward, it was abandoned and a few
later the little diver RAM
med her nose into the sand.

ate and distinct classes of society
will be developed which will lack
the understanding sympathy which
has been made possible in the
schools where embryo engineers,
lawyers, scientific farmers, teachers
and scholars have mingled together
Intellectually and socially through
high school and college and obtain
ed thus better understanding of
and respect for each others work
which helps them to mingle and
work together better when they go
out to take their places in active
life. It does not hurt the engineer
to get some of his corners rubbed of,
by contact with the professional
student and the literary or scientific
scholar; on the other hand, it is a
real service for the scholar to have
some of his Utopian dreams shatter-
ed by the practical demands of his
engineer or "agric" friend. What
ever may be gained in efficiency
along any one line it should not be
forgotten that the ,narrowness of
vision which the establishment of
social classes inevitably brings and
which highly specialized industrial
education can not help but establish
is danger which republican form
of government must do its best to
avoid or intelligently deal with.
For the best development Of this
or any other national life it Is nee
essary that all classes work togeth-
er with sympathy for each other bas-
ed upon an intelligent understand
ing of each others position In life.
This understanding and sympathy,
has heretofore been developed in
the great American leveller. the
public school and state colleges and
universities.

The Other Side.

In the recent decisions of the
state educational board to discon-
tinue the engineering department at
the state university, to transfer the
domestic science school to Iowa City,
to do away with courses not strict
ly bearing upon the training of
teachers at Cedar Falls, step for
ward both in economy and immed-
late efficiency has been made. Ames
will from this time on be more free
to develop her purely industrial
courses, Iowa City will be the re-
sort of those seeking culture and
professional training, while Cedar
Falls will become the Mecca OF
school teachers. Without question
much will be gained by the change
along the lines of immediate effic-
iency, but those looking little fur
ther into the future than the pres
ent Industrial age, can see also some
serious disadvantages. Such sys-
tenn OF education II pursued for any
great length of time cannot help but
assist very materially In the gradual
formation and Strengthening Of
class distinctions, such as exist In
the countries Of Europe today and
such as it has always been the boast
OF this country to be free from. For
II the state thus establishes special
schools widely separated from each
other, it will not be long before the
manual training and domestic SCI
ence courses in our high schools will
become separate and distinct indus
trial schools, located in separate
buildings, and in time their students
be separated from the socalled cul-
tural high schools. Already In cities
of the east and west the trade high
school Is making It's appearance and
every year the demand for industrial
training is coming from the lower
grades of the school. In time we
to the folk schulz of Germany and q
child will have to decide when but
twelve or thirteen years OF age
whether he is to be a professional
man or an industrial expert, for at
that time he must enter the gram
mar school to prepare for the uni
versity, or go into the school which
fits for some trade.
If industrial schools in this coun-
try are established separately from
the socalied cultural and profession
al schools, the students Of the same
will be separated from one another
in the formative and more impress
sionable years Of their lives. Separ-

CHARGE
STRIKING Miners
Pitched Battle Ends Truce in Utah
Copper Situation.

Bingham, Utah, Oct. IAN at
tack on a Greek hillside settlement
by fifty deputies, which resulted in
bloodshed and several minor disturb
ances yesterday, completely broke
the truce that has prevailed among
those involved in the copper mine
strike.
Last night the excitement reached
a high pitch. Streets were crowded
and threats of vengeance were made
by strikers.
Shortly after steam shovel be-
gan operation at the Utah Copper
company's pit this morning, Greek
strikers congregated at their settle
ment, which faces the excavation.
Deputies closed on them from all
directions, while others stood at the
top and the bottom of the canyon
with rifles trained upon the crowd.
A partially completed trench, which,
the deputies declare, was intended
for breastworks, was discovered.
While some of the officers dispersed
the crowd, others searched the
houses. A number of weapons were
seized. One Greek was felled by a
blow over the head with rifle
which laid open his scalp. Another
was shot through the leg and may
die. "

Negroes in Mixup.

Considerable excitement was caus-
ed in the south part of town Friday
night by the negroes who are en-
ployed on the street paving and are
housed in the old brewery building
at the south end OF Wilson avenue.
The negroes got into general mix
up which lasted until the police ar
rived on the scene. The reason for
the fight is not known but 1t is sup
posed the colored men had procured
some intoxicants and the trouble
had started from their over indul-
gence. When the policemen arriy-
ed on the scene they found the col
ored men in general warfare OF
fists, kitchen utensils, etc. The ap'
pearance OF the officers, however
caused luil in hostiiities and IN
a short time the asphalt mixers were
quieted down by the threat OF
night In the city jail.

BURGETT is BADLY WOUNDED

Fort Smith, Ark, Oct. 12.--Four
bandits bungled the holdup OF a
northbound Kansas City Southern
passenger train between Hatfield
and Mena, Ark, early yesterday
One was wounded and captured and
the, other three outlaws escaped af-
ter a battle with Express Messenger
Merrill Burgett, of Kansas City,
Mo-, in which Burgett exhausted his
ammunition and was badly beaten.
Burgett shot the robber who was
discovered an hour later after his
companions had deserted him. The
robber is being conveyed to Mena.
Fifty or more armed men are pur-
suing the bandits. Burgett is IN a
hospital at Mena. He will recover.
The train, known as No. 2, left
Hatfield, Ark, about 2 o'clock.
While Burgett was working In his
car, he saw the bandits clamoring
at the side door, They smashed the
glass with their revolver butts. Bur-
gett sprang to his most valuable
packages and hid despite the hail OF
bullets which the bandits poured in
to the car. Once, the messenger
says, a bullet pierced his shirt.
The packages hidden, Burgett
turned his attention to the invaders,
who had abandoned for time their
firing into the car. AS Burgett FIR
ed at them the robbers reached
through the smashed windows and
loosened the catch which held the
door from the inside. Then they
opened the door and sprang into the
car one by one, firing on Burgett as
they advanced The messenger leap
ed behind baggage and met the rob-
bers' shot for shot.
The train had attained a speed OF
about 80 miles an hour and appar-
emily none Of the train or locomo-
tive crew knew that holdup was
being attempted. A last shot fired
by Burgett before the robbers gain
ed the inside of the car, wounded
one of them.
The fight continued until Bur-
gett's cartridges were gone. Then
the robbers closed in on him and by
force OF numbers oyerpowered him,
although he gave battle. to three,
welding the butt of his short shot
gun effectively until conquered. The
bandits dubbed the messenger re-
peatedIy, asking: Where's that
package Of money?
Bleeding, Burgett crouched in a
corner OF the car while the robbers
brutally beat and kicked him, but
the messenger did not reveal the
hiding place.
The bandits searched the car care
fully, but Burgett had been too willy
for them. So they applied the air
brakes and made another careful
search.
BY this time the train conductor
feared something was amiss and he
began an investigation. AS the con-
ductor came forward with his Ian
tern the robbers took fright and
led.
In answer to the conductors re-
peated knockings on the door OF the
express car Burgett struggled to his
feet. unlocked the door then tainted.
He was revived long enough to give
a brief sketch OF the attempted hold
up, and the train was rushed into
Mena.
