A Near Accident.

The west bound passenger train
yesterday on the Central narrowly
escaped what might have been a SER
ious accident. The train was going
at a high rate of speed-some pas
sengers declaring sixty miles an
hour-when something went wrong
with the two rear wheels Of the
tender. The engineer discovered
the trouble at once. as the tender
began jumping in a very dangerous
manner. He applied the emergency
brakes. but the train went more
than half mile before it could be
stopped. Had the wheels broken
loose and gone under the train the
result would surely have been ter
rible. The trouble occurred a short
distance east OF Ackley.

they get these they expect to put
their machines in the hands of re
tailers over the country. This wash
err runs by motor power and is con
sidered by those who have tried i
to be the best washing machine OF
the market. If this claim be true
the machine will no doubt make it
way when placed upon the marke
and the manufacturers should hav,
very good thing, which in turf
will rebound to some good to thi
city, where the machine Is to b,
manufactured in large quantitie
when the demand Is such as to war

|COLLMARS HAVE
CLEAN CIRCUS
Attendance is Curtailed by Threat
ening Weather and the Busy
Corn Planting Time
With Farmers.
HIGH CLASS PERFORMERS
No Grafters or Other Undesirable
People Accompany the Gollmar
Show.
Ugh CLASS PERFORMERS

In spite of the threatening wealth.
er conditions and the busy corr
planting time with the farmers
quite a crowd attended the after.
noon performance of Gollmar Broth.
ers circus yesterday. The evening
attendance was much smaller, how.
ever.
Although this circus cannot be
said to be the largest of it's kind il
is probably the cleanest aggrega-
ton that has ever been here. Moth
ing in the line of graft could be
found about the tented city. But
one ticket wagon was in evidence
and every one admitted at the same
price. Of the many "roughnecks'
and other hangers on who are gen.
orally found with most circuses,
Gollmar Brothers have none. In
fact the extra policemen sworn in
for the occasion had little to do.
The performance offered by Coll
mar Brothers is high class. Accro-
battle feats, bare back riding, tight
and slack wire walking, trapeze
performances and all the other
stunts were included in the show.
Among the acts that were of spec
ial interest to Webster Citians was
the performance of Al Swan, for
merly local young man. Mr.. Swan
received much applause at the end
of his work. The feature perform
ance of the animal trainer also took
very well. The lady who performs
with the animals has them we'll un-
der her control. During her per-
Torrance she placed her head in
the huge mouth of one of the lions.
The circus train left the city late
last evening. A large crowd of in
terested spectators were present at
the railroad yards until the last car
pulled out. 2~r5 r- ...

THE iowa WEATHER
AND CROP REPORT
Cool Weather is Damaging Corn in
Some Sections of the State
Two Thirds In.

Des Moines, May 21.-The week
was cool, and cloudy, with a decid-
ed deficiency in the rainfall. There
was, however, considerable excess
of moisture in the southern and
central districts, caused by heavy
rains near the close of the preced-
ing week which retarded corn plant
ing for several days. Light to
heavy frosts occurred On two or
three mornings in all parts of the
state, with freezing temperature in
many locations on the 14th. The
frosts did little or no damage to
fruit, but tender garden stuff was
slightly injured on low ground. The
termination of corn was, however,
retarded and in a few places the
seed is reported to have rotted in
the ground. Fair progress was made
in planting corn during the latter
half Of the week, but only about
two-thirds of the crop is in. Some
Of the early planted corn is up and
shows a fairly good stand. All of
the early and some of the late pota-
toes have been planted. Spring
seeding of grass and clover is in
prime condition. Pastures and
meadows are making good growth,
and small grain crops are doing
well. Cherries are not setting as
we'll as indicated by the heavy
bloom. Plums give promise of full
crop, and apples are setting fairly
well considering the small amount
of bloom. Generally the crop condi-
lions are fairly good, needing high
er temperatures and occasional
warm rains to make the outlook
bright and satisfactory.

.0NE-R0OM SCHOOLS
MUST NOT EXIST
That is the Judgment of State Su.
perintendent of Public In
struction Deyoe.

"The consolidated school is the
only solution of the rural school
problem" is the decided statement
of State Superintendent of Public
Instruction A. M. Deyoe. Accom-
panied by Arthur Springer, of Wa.
pello, as representatives of the Bet.
ter Iowa Schools commission, he
spent most of last week visiting ru.
raj schools in Indiana.
Gin the particular township
which made the most impression up
on u.s. says Supt. Deyoe, Eve found
only one, one-room country school
house and it will be abandoned this
year.
"The school problem in Iowa is
that there are not enough children
in many of the rural school districts
to make a decent school. Again
the unit of organization is not large
enough under the district system. In
a one-room building it is not posi-
BILE to make a proper school. Our
country schools must be brought to
a. point where they can furnish as
many branches and as complete a
curriculum as the schools in town
or they will not be left any students
to attend them. The consolidated
schools solve the problem. Here the
attendance and the number OF sup
porters of the school are large
enough to provide good teachers and
good apparatus. They will keep the
children on the farm and at the
same time educate them to be the
equal, in an educational sense, OF
the children in the largest cities.
