The members Of the immaculate Con-
ception took an appreciable iniative In
observing the jubilee. They decided to
make their pilgrimage to the churches
public event. At o'clock more than
1900 persons assembled at the I'm
maculate Conception church. Here they

the visits privately. The time of the
Jubilee extends until December 8. The
works prescribed by sovereign pontiff

ASK FOR REPEAL Of
NEWLY PASSED LAW
FREMONT COUNTY CITIZENS
WANT TO VOTE FOR COUNTY
p. UPERINTENDENT

Sidney. Nov. "a movement Is be-
ing fostered throughout the state, to
petition the governor for repeal OF
the law passed at the last session OF
the legislature and which takes away
each county's privilege Of voting for
Its superintendent of schools.
The movement was originated by
citizens Of Sidney and Fremont coun'
ty, but is being spread to other coun'
ties .s~....
The petition in full reads:
ITO his excellency the governor Of
the state OF Iowa:
1T is evident from past events that
the great state Of Iowa is drifting In
to a commission and dictatoriai form
of government; that the undying prin-
ciples of liberty and the peoples rule
is being supplanted by lobbyists and
educated incompetents.
eve claim that our people are COM
petent Of electing our county superln-
tendent. and demand of the legislar
ture that privilege.
"The board Of supervisors are cleo
tive officers of the people and we deny
the constitutional right of an appoint
i've officer to supplant or In any way
interfere with their duties to their
constituents. ~.
1--WE are ready and willing to SUP
port the people In the peoples govern
ment, but we are not willing or ready
to sacrifice our rights, our liberties or
our money to an appointive, commls-
sion or dictatorial form of govern
ment; therefore -,
"Your excellency, we ask you to call
an extra session of the Iowa legisla-
ture. at your earliest convenience, Tor
the repeal Of any law conflicting with
the rule of the people or abrids1ng
any rights or liberties due them as
citizens Of the great state OF Iowa.
! Respectfully submitted by the citi-
zens Of Fremont county, Iowa."
hammitt Has Plan.
The petitions have not yet made
their appearance in Wapello county
although the reports from Fremont
county would indicate that they Will
be circulated here sometime In the
near future. -,
Principal F. M. Hammitt OF the Ot-
tumwa high school, when asked con
corning the ACCESSIBILITY Of such an
action said: II think that the place
of the county superintendent of schools
is a post that should be filed in much
the same manner as the Office OF city
is filled. The office OF
the county superintendent Of schools
calls for purely professional Qualifica-
tions and I can see no reason why
politics should enter into the matter
at all. Personally I would favor the
of county board OF
education and leave the matter OF
choosing the county superintendent in
their hands. This would call for the
adjustment of all Of the various
school districts throughout the county
and leave only the city districts"

IOWA CITY MEN TO
BUILD TABERNACLE

Iowa City, Nov "a generous re.
spouse has been given by the men of
the city to the united campaign for
religion to be conducted in this city by
Henry Ostrom beginning Nov. 10.
Every person seen by the central COM
mtttee has responded in such a way
which augurs well for the fnall sue
cess of this campaign. All are agreed
that the erection of tabernacle is
essential to success. This is to be
done next Saturday morning at
o'clock on the old Masonic temple site
at the corner of College and Clinton
streets.
An appeal was made in the churches
for volunteers and the response was
generous. 1t is expected that 100 men
will be on the tabernacle site early
Saturday morning armed with harm
n,ers and saws to contribute their little
to the success of this movement. The
more help in this particular the
merrier, and it is the desire of those
at the head of this movement that
every man who can be present at this
important gathering. The tabernacle
will be erected under the supervision
Of Iowa City contractors and it is ex-
pected that the building will go along
rapidly with the generous response
of the men Of the city in helping. The
tabernacle is expected to about cover
the site, and will take about 10000
feet of lumber in its construction, and
when completed 1t is expected to
seat at least 1000 people beside the
large chorus which will be placed on
the large platform behind the speaker.

In Company with Alfred PapwOrth, He Struck
Bottom and Was Later Rescued.

Friday afternoon came near put
ting an end to a rosy future for two
young men, one a resident of Alma
and the other a college student. On
the aforesaid afternoon, Paul Morgan
and Alfred Papworth, unmindful of
the prevailing high winds and the
strong current of the river, started
for a canoe ride up the Pine. They
had not been out long when the
canoe capsized and both boys were
thrown into the river though they
retained a hold on the canoe which
turned over twice Some man, a
stranger, who was fishing from the
banks of the river saw them and
breaking a boat loose from its moor
ings went to their rescue As they
were in the water only few mo-
ments the results were no more than
severe colds and a determination to
learn To swim.
Mr. Papworth is sophomore in
college and lives in Howell.
Mr.. Morgan recently returned from
the Missouri State University where
he spent several months in special
study. He left Alma Monday for
San Francisco and expects to sail

Delivered Able Address at the Opera
House Last Friday Evening.
THE MARTYRD0M OF FOOLS"
Was His Subject and which He Handled In
a Mastery Manner.

Last Friday night at the Opera
House a large, appreciative audience
listened TO Thomas Brooks Fletcher
deliver his famous lecture, The Mar
tyrdom Of Fools Evidently his ex-
perience as a newspaper man gave
him his subject. He said The man
who never does or says a foolish
thing is the biggest fool yet. The
only one ! ever knew was in MIL
scum stuffed with sawdust If we
had the wit to see ourselves as others
see us we would not laugh at any
other fool again. But the trouble is
we think all the world are fools ex-
cept us. That's the first symptom of
tools. Nature never wastes either
fool or freak, we can learn some
thing from all OF them. When bigoted
fools gain power they become ty-
rants. They believe stupidity TO be
wisdom and hold as sacrilege any de-
sire to investigate Martyrs have
loved the light of reason and free air
and have consecrated with their
blood their love OF liberty and the
right to think But of independent
thinkers all are not wise nor are all
investigators martyrs. Some hover
around the mysteries OF occult science
like butterfly over a mudhole and
never find the beauty of Gods bios
soming fields all around them. Some
have only the curiosity of the Irish
man who pryed open a slat to get
better view of a wild rabbit Gagged for
shipment in an express office. The
rabbit popped out nearly knocking
him down with the suddenness of its
spring and out of the office, down the

WATERMAN FIRE
Dry Goods Stock Destroyed by Fire
Thursday Evening, April II
ESTIMATED LOSS s2O,OOO.OO
Building Damaged to the Extent Of $7,0OOOO
Fire Department Did Excellent Work.

Last Thursday evening at 6:45 the
ringing of the fire bell and the scream
ING of the fire whistle called our cit
izens and the fire department to the
n. B. Waterman store, located in the
Opera House block, where smoke in
dense volumes was seen to be issuing
from the basement windows. The
fire proved to be one of the stub
bornest in the history of the depart
ment and it was well toward ten
o'clock before the same was under
control.
Mr.. Waterman and his corps of
clerk. had left the store at six o'clock
or shortly after, everything apparent
ly being in its usual condition. At
6;3O Joseph Wachalac, who rooms
over the Smith & Clapp hardware
store. upon going to his room detect
ed smoke and made several attempts
10 locate its origin, and a few min
utes later discovered it ooZing out
from crevices in the stairway leading
to the Bell Telephone Co.'S office.
At about the same time smoke COM
menced to appear from the front base
ment windows and the alarm was i'm
mediately turned in and the FIRE de-
partment quickly on the scene; sew
eral lines of hose were laid and the
fremen soon had water on the fire
when the pressure dropped and a
stream reaching not more than two
or three feet from the end of the
nozzle was obtainable. Investigation
showed that the gate at the power
house had been closed by the break
ing of a chain or bolt and the water
wheels for lack of water closed down.
The city steam pump was got into
commission and after veXatious de-
lay of some twenty or more minutes,
water was again obtainable. How
ever, during this time the fire which
was in the basement had made great
.headway and the hremen found it
difficult to get at the seat of the fire
owing TO the dense clouds OF smoke
which poured from the building.
Under the direction of Chief Joseph
Sartor the department succeeded in
conhning the fire to. the first floor
and basement of the building. The
Waterman stock, valued at 100000 to
$22, 800, carried an insurance of $15,-
500. The building, which was owned
by the Alma Realty Co, carried in
surance sufficient to meet the loss.
