Friday last was gala day for YER
non county Internationally, thirty-five of
her sons and daughters concluding the
work of instruction impaired in the
Teachers Normal Training School, the
sixth annual commencement. Like the
other classes that have gone out from
this practical institution, It is compOs-
ed of bright and active young people
who desire to perpetuate the noble pro-
fessiOn of teaching, and 10 that purpose
have they given twoyears Of hard work,
The school is filing a mission Of its
own, highly commendable. The eScr
cises on this occasion called out an over
crowded audience in the high school au.
ditorium and fully a hundred and fifty
were unable to gain admission. Prin
cipal Aug. Z Smith was master of Ger.
emonies and in that capacity took occa-
sion to review the work done this year
and in past seasons, predicting a bright
future for the success of the school and
those who awaited themselves Of the
training thus provided by the county
and state. The program opened with
a school chorus and three other well
rendered musical selections, invocation
by Rev. c. E. Buffers, benedlctiOn by
Rev. /. II. Beckholt.
The annual address was by DR.. Smith
of the university OF Minnesota, and al
though he substituted for the engaged
speaker, Dean James of the same in
stitution, be held the closest attention
and gave the students and audience a
plenty Of thoughtful food and informa-
ton for reflection, speaking upon ed
ucation Our Birthright.

the seating capacity IS filed The de-
mand for these graduates comes from
this and other counties but as the stand
ards are raised ard better wages paid
most Of the graduates will teach in
Vernon county Twenty-Five of the
alumni are married. and some will 60 to
higher institutions of learning. The
normal year is Of ten months, ard be-
sides this term Of six weeks school
is held in summer The great need Is
for building AID grounds for this school.
An educational center does much TO
elevate the profession of the rural
teacher, and with more room many adj
ditional advantages could be given.
Among these would enumerate physi-
cal training, social forms. more of hy-
genie and a general kncwledSs OF lit
eralure, current events, etc The
school ! s now accommodated in an
upper room in the high school building
in contracted quarters, out of the way,
and it takes a climb to get. there that
tests the power to overcome the liner
tia of old age, as the writer knows.
So the school has but few visitors.
Only one like school fDunn county, has
larger class this year. Twenty-seven
Ike schools are maintained inthis state,
and nearly all have their own building.
Only two of these schools rank higher
in attendance, and with room and teach
ers Vernon County Normal could out
strip the other schools because OF its
country and people it must depend up
on. Let the voice of the people clamor
so loud that these needed improvements
shall be realized,

PROSPECTING FOR LEAD ORE
Western Vernon County Doubtless
Has Pay Claims if Developed

While in the city last Thursday to at
tend training school festivities, w. P.
Morgan of Sterling town, told the CEN
soR that he had entered into agreement
with an experienced miner of Lansing,
Captain Turner, TO begin a thorough
prospecting for lead ore on his farm.
Mr.. Morgan has known for years that
float ore was quite plentiful on his
place, but has attached little signifi-
canoe to the matter till specimens we're
sssayed and found to be nearly of vir-
gin quality. Whether it exists in guam
titles to warrant operation and invest
ment is the test. To this end the mat
ter is to be worked out. Captain Tur-
ner is to proceed at once with a search
ing party and If found In sufficient
amount actual operations will be open
ed for commercial profit and sale. Mr.
Morgan is to have royalty for all ore
taken.
1t would be a bonanza for western
Vernon county if this prospecting
should turn up good mineral in paying
quantities. Let US all hope that fond
est anticipations may be realized.

WHO is DISTRICT ATTORNEY,
That is Question Frequently Asked
BY MANY People

II we are to accept the opinion of the
attorney general of the state, and there
appears to be no reason TO doubt it, we
should say that the county has no legal
law officer. Early in May that state Of
fetal, IN a written opinion said:
my opinion is that the Office of dis
trict attorney will become vacant when
the order revoking the license Of Mr..
McKibbin to practice law is made
that the governor will be authorized to
make an appointment filling suca va
cancy.
1t was generally expected that Dis
trict Attorney McKibbin would ask the
supreme court for a hearing on the mat
ter, but il appears he did. not do so,
and last Wednesday Circuit Judge Hig-
bee. sent an order here revoking the IL
cense of Mr. McKibbin, as directed by
the higher court, and a legal summons
or order was served on Mr.. McKibbin
to that effect. The governor was also
advised of the exi5tence of the vacancy.
How soon he will act in the matter the
CENSOR has no knowledge Neither
have we information that any partieu-
lar campaign is being put up in the in
terest of candidates for appointment.
Unnecessary delay in filling the place
ought not to be exercised by the exec
utiVe.

Navy Allowed to Enter
Crews in SchuylkiII Races

ANNAPOLIS. Md, Feb. 2O.-Per-
mission has been granted for the
Naval Academy to enter crews in
the SchuyllSill regatta at Philadel-
phia on May 81, and unless something
intervenes the academy will be repre-
scented by a first, second and fourth
class eight and a four.
The academy crews have been linn
tied to races over the Henley dis
lance this season, and it was feared
that a good schedule could not be
arranged. The local management has
been informed that the stewards of
the American Rowing Association,
who have charge of the Schuylkill re-
gatta, have offered a special cup for
the four-oared event to be called the
Naval Academy cup.

BY EDWARD p. DUFFY

While Johnny Kilbane, the feather
weight champion of the world, was
not met with criticism for his show
ing in the bout against George Kirk
wood, Of st. Louis, at the Empire A.
c., New York, last night, he was not
heaped with praise. He should have
done just what he did. to have any
claim whatsoever to championship
calibre.
There are several featherweights
who are not title-holders who could
have beaten Kirkwood, if the latter
had been as much afraid of them as
he was of Kilbane. Referee Dan
Tone stopped the fight in the sixth
wound to save Kirkwood.
Joe Shugrue and Johnny Lore put
up the best bout of the night, with
honors in the Jersey lads favor, and
Phil Cross beat young Hickey.
1t will be a long time before three
better bouts will be staged than
these were.
1t was plain that the st. Louis boy
: was not going to be much of an OPP
ponent for the champion as soon as
hit him when and where he pleased
with right or left hand and could
skate out of the Mound City boys
reach with ease when he let go that
right hand. In the middle of the
round Kirkwoods nose was bleeding
and Johnny proceeded to decorate
his opponents face with the gore.
Johnny's propensity to loaf soon
overcame him when he had found
his man and Kirkwood suddenly shot
4 right to Kilbane's jaw that had to
hurt.
The champion speeded UP a little
at the start of the second round, and
while dancing in and out Kirl<wood
sent over left and right to the jaw,
and Kilbane grew wary and con-
scquently slow. The round continued
that way until Kirk planted a left
10 the jaw Kilbane danced around
and made Kirk miss the next right,
closing the round with left to the
Jaw that, I think, started the West
hrners decline.
Kilbane was very snowy in the
third round, was not very effective
on the offense, but he was getting
faster all the time. Whatever eff
fectiveness Kilbane lacked in pre-
vious rounds, he made up for 1t in
the fourth. He sent Kirkwood down
many rungs A left and right to the
law and left uppercut Jared Kirk,
who pushed forward a left and right
TO the head and then closed in on
Eilbane. Johnnys right put Kirk
dizzy in a moment. and with his left
hand he held Kinks head, uppercut-
ting him with the right fiercely.
1t was case of punch, punch for
Kilbane whenever he wanted to in
the fifth, for Kirkwood was going
last, and just as the bell rang he
was halfway~up from the floor after
taking the count from a flop caused
Nv Kilbanes left hand. The bell saved
aim that time. Previous to that he
had missed a blow and fell TO the
aoor.
The last round was REPETITION OF
the others Kilbane took a few 10
get in close to finish his man. He
finally worked him into the northeast
rorner and pushed over left to the
law that made him do somersault,

NEWARK CLUB CALLS OFF
DEAL FOR PITCHER ALLEN
Lee and AitchisOn Should Garry Tigers
Through SeaSOn--S2, 500 Is Placed at
Smith Disposal for Emergencies.

The deal between the Newark and
Brooklyn Club which would have
brought Pitcher Allen, a sonthpaw to
the Tigers, has fallen through. Mana
ger Harry Smith has decided that he
can get along with two southpaws
and will save the cash which would
have been spent for the portsider for
emergency purposes. Should he need
a good pitcher at any time during
the international League race $500
has been placed at Smiths disposal
and he can spend this amount where
and when he will.
N9 obliga ton IS placed on the Tiger
leader to buy from Brooklyn. but ii
is expected that Harry should do all
he can during the season 70 develop
any youngsters BIZ Dahlen may want
trained for big league duty.
The local management expects
much from Wyatt Lee this season.
washingtonian had lethargie streak
on last season and did not exert him
self to keep in condition.
Lee was a fsvorite with McGinnity
and worked practically when and
where he pleased. Wyatt is veteran
pitcher and one of the headiest mound
workers in the league, but Joe's kind
ness did Lee no good. He was away
overweight most of the time and
toward the end of the season slumped
woefully.
Lee is stlll a young man. in spite
of the fact that he has played base
ball for eleven years in professional
company. In a recent letter Wyatt
wrote that he will report to Newark
this spring in better condition than
he has been at any time since he
Joined the Tigers. Local fans still
remember Lees sensational hitting
and pitching which nearly helped
Newark win pennant three seasons
ago.

REPORT SAYS TOOLEY HAS

How will Frank Chances system
work when pitted against such willy
leaders as Mack, Jennings and Crit
fifth? The Peerless Leader outstripped
the Giants under McGraw, and the
Pirates under Clarke, in handling the
Cub machine. McGraw and Clarke
are great leaders, and year after year
have developed and produced Won
derful baseball machines. but Connie
Mack seems to have a slight edge on
both of them. 1t is a question whether
Detroit will be in the race or not this
year. Chance outgeneraled Jennings
in two worlds series. Surprising.
however, that Chance has a second
division team and his material makes
it look that way just now, how will
the former leader of the Cubs feel?
1t is years since he has been with a
team that has not been fighting for
a pennant Chance will probably
sweat blood and earn every cent Of
that $4,000" this season, and we'll
wager more than a plugged nickle
that he'll wish more than once for
his quiet orange ranch at Glendora
