LINCOLN AND FIScUS
ANDERSON WINS MATCH

Martin Anderson, champion wrest-
Ter of Audubon county, went up to
Buena Vista county last week and met
Ray Johnson, big 100 pound Nor
wegian wrestler of Minnesota. The
battle was a finish match and was a
great fight for supremacy, but Ander-
son finally won the first fall after a
long struggle of two hours and twen-
ty-one minutes with a scissors and
hammer lock. The Minnesotian was
all in at the beginning of the second
round. Mike by quick work placed
him to the mat with double leg
hold in the remarkable short space of
thirty-three seconds. Anderson is un-
doubtedly conner and has the five
great essentials for a wrestler; youth,
strength, speed, science and temper
ance, and the thing up to him now is
to utilize them with all his might and
main.

New School Building Carries

by Big vote.
At the annual township meeting Of
the voters of Lincoln township, the
vote to build new school house in
sub. district No. 5, carried and a tax
of $4,000 (three thousand) viii be
levied for its erection. Many believe
it is unnecessary to erect so expen-
sive building, but it is not, as under
all probabilities it will be erected up
TO date and on modern hygeinical
plans. and II so the above amount will
be none to much. The days of the old
coal stoves with their poisonous gases
the double seats, and non-ventilated
school buildings are numbered, and
are fast giving way to the stove fur
mace; perfectly ventilated houses, and
single seats that can be raised or low
cred to the adaptation of the size of
the child. Many of our sister states
have passed laws condemning all
poorly ventilated school houses, and
when new ones are erected see that
they are built so as to give plenty
of the life giving oxygen. When it
comes to hogs and corn Iowa stands
in the lead, and in that line is the
brightest star of all the forty-eight
that are found on the Nations emblem,
But where is schools and literature?
Away, away down in mediocrity in
comparison with our sister states.
Truth that is crushed to earth, will
sure rise sooner or later" and the day
is not far in the future, when our
own state of Iowa will awake to her
backwardness along educational lines
and will then erect shool houses on
perfectly sanitary plans, and place
them at least on an equal footing with
corn and live stock.
