At High School

A custom which is in vogue at all
large schools, is adopted at the local
high school. A piano has been in
stalled in the gymnasium, and is be-
ing used to help the pupils keep time
in their exercises. The piano is an old
one which was used at the school a
number of years ago, and has been
lying useless since that time, and al
though the tones are not those of
silvery bells, nor the keys OF the pur-
est white, the instrument answers the
purpose for which 1t is used.
Strickland W. Gillian, the noted
poet and humorist, is to talk at the To-
cal high school Nov Is. This will be
the second of the six lectures which
are 10 be given at the high school
this year. II is the first of the five
Redway Lyceum course lectures. Mr..
Gillian is the writer OF the funny and
also famous, "Off again, On again,
Gone again, Finnigan," and he has
written a number OF stories. He ia
not only a newspaper, magazine, and
platform humorist, but also a poet
and philosopher. The topics of Mr.,
Giililan's talks are like the following,
Sunshine and Awkwardness," and "A
Sample Case OF Humor" The topic
OF his lecture here is not as yet
known, but a good time is assured

TO PAY WAR CLAIM
OF GOVERNMENT

Council Bluffs, May 9.-Forty-eight
years after Mrs. Susan Morris OF
Council Bluffs filed a claim with the
national government at Washington,
letter has been received by Postmas-
ter Hazelton Of this city inquiring II
the person making the claim is still
alive The letter, which is from the
acting auditor Of the treasury depart
ment, suggests that If she be dead, he
would like to learn If she has any rela-
tives living at this time in Council
Bluffs.
It seems that Mrs. Morris was the
sister of a soldier who died in the
army, John Jenkins, who was serving
as a private in Company G, Thirty
ninth Iowa infantry. Following his
death, she filed a claim for pay and
bounty that was claimed to have been
due him. This claim was filed in
Washington, April 80, 1864. Mrs.
Morris was identified at that time as
the soldiers sister, by James Wild and
Margaret Wilson, both of whom lived
in this city at that time.
Mr.. Hazelton would be pleased to
learn anything possible regarding Mrs.
Morris or her two friends, in order
that he may notify the treasury depart
ment 1t has been reported to him
that about the close Of the war Mrs.
Susan Morris resided in the vicinity
Of Canning road, but the information
so far received is not definite.

yention, declared that the medical
trust which he said was worse in Its
dealings than the oil trust or steel
trust was back of the movement to

tin and President John Bowman OF

scind it's action taken March 6to con-
solidate two colleges of medicine at

the university, and the members OF the

homeopathic profession in the state. 1t
was voted that DR.. A. M. Linn of Des
Moines, dean Of the medical colleges at
