Report OF CelG-
bratiOn Committee

The following report has been given
the SENTINEL for publication :
To the President of Rescue Hose Com
pany: We, your Committee ON the 4th
of July Celebration. beg leave to respect
fully report as follows:
Whereas, As the Finance Committee
after canvassing the town failed to raise
sufficient funds for a proper observance
of this day felt justified in refunding the
small sum they had collected, and taking
into consideration the financial condition
of our company, we feel that without the
support of the business interests OF the
town it would be a gross injustice to the
company to let them foot the expenses.
And we also find. after interviewing sew
eral ranchers. that it will be impossible
to have a picnic owing TO the hay crops.
Therefore, we deem it advisable to drop
all efforts toward q celebration.

CLOSING EXERCISES OF
EUREKA PUBLIC SCHOOL


Most Entertaining Programme Enjoyed
By Relatives and Friends of Pupils
Friday afternoon were held the closing
exercises of the Public Schoo. of Eureka.
The programme which was varied and
showed careful Arrangement and prep
aration on the part Of both teachers and
pupils. was enjoyed by an audience that
more than filed the Assembly room
Of the High School. With song and
story; dialogue and drill, and pieces in
range from the humorous TO the patri-
otto. the programme was one to suit the
taste of all.
Thus ended one Of the most successful
years Of the school. The attendance
has been good throughout the year. the
pupils have shown much interest In their
work, and the teachers have labored
earnestly, diligently. and honestly to
advance their pupils constantly.
There were eleven to graduate from
the eighth grade into the High School.
This should be gratifying both to the
teachers who have had this grade in
charge. and also to the class. None of
the class failed to pass the examinations
So, taken all in all, in spite Of what
ever adverse conditions that may have
arisen, the past year, in the opinion Of
those who have visited the school and
have carefully observed the work. has
been a most successful one.

Praises Prof. Holiday,

The following extract taken from
the Meservey Register of recent date
shows how much the work of Prof.
j. M. Holiday as principal Of the
Meservey schools is appreciated:
Miss Mary McDonough and Prof.
J. NJ. Holiday, our teachers, dismiss
ed school last Friday afternoon and
attended the Better School Rally"
at Thornton. Prof. Holiday gave a
short talk Of about fifteen minutes
on Moral Ethics in School,"
Though there was practically no time
allotted the professor for his subject,
1t proved to be the best thing OF the
meeting. Prof. Holiday has been a
leader in school work for forty
years, and Is one of the most prac-
teal, and effective teachers In Iowa
He has been county superintendent
of schools Of Hamilton county, and
has held several important princi-
palships in this state. Meservey is
indeed fortunate in securing a man
to head her school of such fine abil-
ity and ripe experience.

HAS
A FATAL FALL
Is Thrown From Parachute After
Leaving Balloon.

jacksonville, Fla, Dec. 2.-Rich-
ard Frayne, an aeronaut, fell 1000
feet here yesterday afternoon and
was instantly killed. Three thous-
and persons witnessed the accident.
The aeronaut was thrown from
his seat in the parachute immedi-
ately after he cut loose from the bal
loon. His body landed in the drive
way of the Evergreen cemetery, near
here. Physicians say every bone in
his body was broken.
With Jack Crosby, his companion,
Frayne assembled late yesterday af-
ternoon. Both men had individual
parachutes attached to the balloon.
Crosby severed his parachute from
the balloon first. A moment later
he saw Frayne's body dash past him.
Witnesses Of the tragedy say that
Frayne's fall was due to his failure
to place his hands in the safety
wristlets, the momentary hating of
his descent upon the opening of the
parachute hurting him from his
seat.
Frayne's home was at Lowell,
Mass. He was 25 years old and un-
married.

San Francisco, Cal, Dec. q
Obeying the orders of his employer,
H. H. Hart of Oakland, James Litz,
a chauffeur, ran a $4,000 automobile
off the rear of a ferryboat in San
Francisco bay. Harris desire to

repair bill amounting to $4,000. He
called Litz into his library.
"Take that car out and lose it,
he said.
Il can't lose it," replied Litz; "it's
too we'll known. Somebody would
find it and bring it back again"
Then sink it in the middle of
the bay" said Hart.
For the first time in weeks the car
ran smoothly to the ferry station
and was driven aboard the boat
Litz asked the mate, to show him the
deepest spot in the harbor. When
the boat reached the designated
place Litz stealthily ran the car tc
the vessel apron. Then he pulled
wide the throttle and leaped to the
deck. The automobile splashed into

ED. vocHAsKA IS ARRESTED

Waterloo, Dec. 2.-To have blood
hounds trail a stranger, called upon
to guide one of them, and immedi-
ately mark him as the person whom
they sought, was the disturbing ex-
perience of Ed. Vochaska of Clutter
a small town in Tama county, about
twenty-five miles southeast of here,
last week. Nd
H. G. Strumpfer was summoned
from Springfield, ILL.,, with hounds,
and arrived with two, to trail the
men who burglarized the Kopecky
general store of $3.50 in merchan-
disc Monday night. The trainer
could not handle both dogs and call
ed upon a volunteer to lead one. Vo-
chaska expressed his willingness to
take the leash Of the second dog,
and, after the scent was taken, the
animals circled about the crowd and
came to a halt at Vochaska's feet.
They seemed satisfied. This non
plussed Strumpfer, who knew moth
ing of local conditions or who his
volunteer assistant was.
After Diminishing Vochaska,
Strumpfer tied one of his dogs in a
store and worked the other on YER
flying trail. The hound took the
scent from the store window Sec
ond time and was off on a trail,
which led to, an elevator where
there were burnt matches and foot
prints in the dust. It was deduced
that the robbers had made divis-
ion of spoils at that point.
The hound then took trail to the
railroad track and back up, town to
a stairway, At the top of the stair
was a CLOSED door. strumpfer open
ed this and the dog darted in. Great
~ to Strumpfer's surprise he found
Vochaska in the room, The hound
marked a single bed upon which the
young man had slept.
Later the sheriff from Toledo was
called and placed Vochaska under
arrest. He is being held pending
investigation, but denies any knowl-
edge of the burglary.
1t is reported that when the young
man was seen in his room he had on
a pair of new shoes similar to ones
carried by the merchant whose store
was robbed.

utilize DAM FOR
RAILROAD bridge
Steps Taken to Incorporate Company
for Keokuk Project.

Keokuk, Dec. 2.-The Intercity
Bridge company filed articles of in
corporation with the county record
er late Saturday afternoon. The in
corporators are all local men. c. r.
Joy, William Logan, A. E. Johnston,
Wells M. Irwin, J. P. Allen, r. H.
Wallace and C. P. Dadant, are nam
ed as directors.
The articles were also mailed to
the secretary of the state at Des
Moines and Immediately after the
company is duly incorporated Con-
gresham Charles A. Kennedy will
be instructed to introduce bill in
congress to secure the necessary
charter.
The capital stock of the company
is given as 100000 and the pur-
pose is to operate railroad bridge
at this point across the river, using
the big dam most of the way.
This bridge would be over mile
in length and it will be nessary to
build 500 feet of draw or bascule
bridge over the canal allowing boats
to pass through.
1t is estimated that the compile
ton of the plans would cost not less
than s250,000, exclusive of the
enormous cost of the dam, part Of
which will be utilized.

tact with a live wire he fell forward
over the wires and laid there until
other workmen relieved him. He
was taken from the pole and died
within few seconds. A number of
people passing by witnessed the
electrocution. Frank Lang of this
city assisted in removing him from
the pole.
He leaves a wife and two small
children. The suit was started by

city and asks damages of the city of
Ames for the sum of $4,000. Notice
of the suit was filed Saturday, and
is matter of considerable sensa-
ton in this neighborhood.

MEXICO IS ANXIOUS
OVER FLEETS VISIT
Amnesty to be Promised Warning
Insurrectos.

Mexico City, Dec. 2.--Convinced
that numerous bands of rebels in the
states of Durango. Coahuila and
southern Chihuahua are continuing
their operations merely because they
believe surrender would mean sum-
mary execution under the suspen-
sion of guarantees, Rafael Herman
DEE, the new minister OF the inter-
ior, announced yesterday that he
would attempt to gain for them a
promise Of amnesty. Cheche Cam
pos and Benjamin Arguado, officers
in Orozco's organization, are the
chief rebel leaders In those districts,
and several engagements have been
fought during the latter part of the
week, the government as usual an
nouncing victories.
These and allied leaders have been
making successful raids on small
outposts, managing, for the most
part, to evade encounters with SUI
perior forces. The rich country is
practically at their mercy, and the
federal forces in the state have
been exterminated.
Mexicans are not wholly treasured
by the Washington declarations and
are keenly interested in the prspos-
OH ,,;ci% ~ four Amorsran hattlochins
to Vera Cruz and the motive for
their coming. 1t is no secret that
the American note is not pleasing
to the Mexican government and the
failure of the Mexican foreign office
to discuss the nature of the reply
gives some basis for believing it is
not entirely pleasing to Washing
.on.
