The resolution was adopted unan-
imously.
sULzeR PREPARES TO REMOVE
COL. SCOTT.

Senator Murtaugh spoke at length IN
support OF his resolution. lie declared
that It's purpose was for this august
body to see and the people OF the State
to see that n constitutional officer of
the State, agains; whom charges have
been preferred, shall not be Judged

would not permit this great system 20

SCOTT, IN ANSWER, DENIES ALL
THE CHARGES.

Col. Scott to-day filed with Gov. sulzer

The charges against Col. Scott con-
Germ mainly the conduct OF the Mattea-

Another Great Reform

Newspaper editors in particular
and many other folks in general
will rejoice to know that great
reform has been started in Hills
borough county Of this state. 1t
is the teaching in the public
schools Of the science and art Of
English photography. Ignorance
of this highly important accom-
plishment has caused worlds of
trouble to editors who are expect
ed and required to put in shape
for publication contributed artic-
les Astounding in horrible gram-
mar and rhetoric and equally hor-
rible spelling. It has been a won
der to these sufferers why spell
ing has not been properly and
persistently taught in the public
schools; but now that the reform
has begun, there seems to be a
brighter day ahead for both the
editors and the English language.
We sincerely trust that this re-
form will spread to all the coun-
ties of the state and that it will be
followed by thorough instruction
and training in English grammar,
composition and rhetoric. 1t is
high time that the children Of the
state were taught to write their
own language both correctly and
elegantly. After this is done,
then there need be no objection to
their being taught to dissect
grasshoppers and expound the diff
ferential calculus.
The abandonment Of the old
method Of teaching oral spelling
IS responsible for the present de-
plorable ignorance of photography.
The old-fashloned spelling match
should be re-introduced into all
the public schools and made d
special exercise for Friday after
moons. Asa companion exercise,
SO to speak, the pupils should be.
required to recite the tables of
weights and measures and the
multiplication table. In a word,
teach them first the essentials,
those things they have use for all
through their lives, and then in
struct them in the non essentials.

President Justice viii demand def
mite answer from Keokuk as TO the
attitude II Is to axe in baseball re-
gariing the placing Of club here
This uitinlatuEn was given 70 the
hackers OF the game here this morn
ing when NJ. Justice received EEL
egram from a city OF $1,000 inhabi-
tants. saying that they were willing
to withdraw from th.eir present league
and take up the Keokuk franchise
free Of deb. and with no less than
$4,000 in the club treasury. They
asked for an immediate reply. saying
that q directors meeting was sched-
uled for tonight and they would like
10 take action
AS soon as Mr Justice received this
message he communicated with the
men interested in baseball in keokuk
and told them that for the Welfare of
the league he mus. have q positive
answer enc way or the other as 70
whether this city would take care OF
the club.
When fr. Justice vas seen in his

loving statement:
1T is true that have had several
offers for the Keokuk franchise and
one received this morning is OF such
moment to the league that ] have no
other course but to ask. the Kao4s
men for q definite answer
Il have notified the local men that
must know BY ten o'clek Monday

ton similar TO the action taken with
Galesburg last fall.
Il understand that the post card
system of securing subscriptions is to
be tried and If his fails there seems
TO be no course left to pursue and
Keokuk may as well give up the
game I am sure that the league has
been sufficiently lenient with the Keo-
kuk club and in justice % any other
town which would be taken in it is
time that something should be done.
Personally I would be very sorry
10 see the city drop out of the organ
lied game, bu. as there seems to be
no interest in the matter, fans can
not expect few men to take the
club and run it as a personal loss"
II was announced at baseball head

porters of baseball this afternoon
These viii be delivered tonight anc
