VESSELSGOING
FAR AWAY NOW
FOR SNAPPERS
SCARCITY OF FISH AT THE
USUAL GROUNDS AT THIS SEA-
SON CAUSES THEM TO MAKE
THE TRIP TO cAMPEAcHEE.

The scarcity of red snappers where
they are usually found at this season
of the year is causing local fishings
vessels to go cross to the Campeachee
fishing banks in order to make
catches. The Flora J. Sears, of the
Saunders feet, which entered yaster-
day. is one of the vessels to make
this trip, and she brought in a fine
catch of snappers.
Local fishing vessels never go to
Campeachee at this season Of the year
as snappers can be found nearer hme
This season it is different, probably
due to the warm weather, and the
smacks. especially the large ones which
can carry plenty of ice, are making
the longer trip. OF course the smaller
ones will have to do the best they can
nearer home until cold weather comes
for they cannot carry enough ice tc
keep the fish during summer on the
trip from Campeachee.

Buffalo, N. Y, Aug. 21-Johnny
King is to lose his job as manager
Of the Boston Nationals next year.
George Stallings, manager of the Bis
ons, of the International league, has
consented to take the place" He has
arranged terms with President James
E. Carney, of the Boston club, and
viii have full and complete charge Of
the Boston club of 1913.
Stallings had been anxious to get
back into the big league ever since
he was deposed by Hal Chase two
years ago. He and Gaffney are very
warm friends. Gaffney learned to
admire him when Stallings was man
ager of the New York Americans,
succeeding Clark Griffith, who went
to Cincinnati. Stallings took a tail
end club in Detroit and helped it to
finish third. He has always been j
success in the minor leagues and did
good work in Detroit. New York and
Philadelphia. Gaffney has consulted
StaIlings about the men who are to
be purchased or drafted for next
year. The pair have gone over the
chances for the club. Carney knows
that with a good club he can make
lot of money in Boston.
Manager Johnny King Will not
take his retirement with bad grace
for he wants to get out of the big
leagues. Johnny's ambition is to round
out his baseball career as manager
of the Kansas City club. It Is prob
able that President Gaffney will give
King his unconditional release at
the end of the season and next sea-
son Johnny will be the main
squeeze in the Kansas City club.
King was traded to the Boston Ma
tionaI league club because his play
| ing with the Chicago Cubs had fallen
| off, Because his salary was cut by
| the Boston club he once refused to
play with that organization and
stopped for a time at his home in the
/ middle west.

NO REAL SHORTAGE
Of RURAL TEACHERS
Superintendent Deyoe Comments on
Reported Shortage in
Hamilton County.

Register and Leader: The word
from Hamilton county that it has a
shortage of public school teachers
Is worthy Of attention, according to
A. M. Deyoe, state superintendent of
public instruction. The fact that 1t
now appears as If there will be a
famine this year does not mean that
there will be one. Persons who are
beginners usually take the June ex-
aminations and the old teachers
wait until later In the summer, Mr..
Deyoe said. This explains why so
many Of the candidates at the early
examinations failed.
"The facts concerning Hamilton
county" Mr.. Deyoe said, ARE as fol-
lows: There were forty-three appli-
cants in all, of whom one Is entitled
to first grade certificate, nineteen
are entitled to second grade certifl-
Gates, eight earned third grade cer-
tificates and seven may be granted
provisional certificates upon the re-
quest Of the county superintendent
There were only eight complete
failures, six OF whom never had
taught, and the other two had

INDIAN GETS BIG
sum FOR PEARLS
Iowa River Find is Sold For
$72o.

Marshalltown, July 29.-Seven
hundred and twenty dollars for two
pearls is the modest fortune that
Little Big Bear, a Meskwakie Indian
living on the reservation east of this
city in Tama county, was paid in
cash yesterday by a local dealer for
two Iowa river pearls.
One of the gems, beautiful pink
egg-shaped pearl, weighing thirty
three and three-quarters grains,
brought the red man $3.50. The 9TH
er, weighing six and seven -eighths
grains, the equal of it's mate in col
or, but with one tiny flaw, brought
$50 to the finder. The buyers esti-
mate the market value of the larger
pearl at $500 and the smaller one
500.
The Indian found the pearls while
camping on the river little way
north of Iowa City. A man named
Starr. from Waverly, sold pearl
Weighing nineteen and one-half
grains on the local market yesterday
for $410. Its market value is esti-
mated to be $500,

THE R|VERv|EW
EXPOSITION
Held in Chicago Every Summer
This Year Better Than
Ever.

Riyerview Exposition, Chicago,
has for years set the pace for the en-
tire amusement park world, but in
no instance has it's efforts ever been
even partially approached. In ex-
tent of domain, it occupies 142
acres; natural beauty: stupendity Of
architectural design: length and
safety of it's great curvilnear rides
-Riverview remains pre-eminent--
the worlds most perfect out-of-door
amusement resort. ...
Where the world whirls and
sports holds sway has been adopt
ed by Riverview's new management
as slogan for the present season
and not appropriately, for with
miles of swift rides over surface and
mid-air; the terrific, never-ceaseless
whirr and whirl of speed-demons
around the steep saucer track of its
immense stadium-motordrome; the
grind OF fearless automobile racers
around the even sleeper saueered
track of the Autodrome, the big
amusement resort is indeed a Pan
theon dedicated to sportive modes of
motion. Marcus Aurelias must have
had in mind Riverview when he de-
clared Life Is more like wrestling
than dancing for Riverview Is the
limit OF strenuous endurance and
startling swiftness.
But Riverview is not altogether
frivolous.
The great exposition is crowded
with shows and spectaeles of great
human interest and ethnic value.
When Riverview built its two larg-
est show palaces and installed there
in the naval battle of the Monitor
and Merrimac' and the Biblical
spectacle Of 'sGreatiou." and follow
