Frustrated over the sad death. A,
Denlson the news was received with
awe, and particularly so by the stud
ents OF the high school, who durine
Miss uhde's two years service in the
schools, had learned to love her very
; much. And not only in school circles
was Miss Uhde favorite, but in soc.
lal circles, and among the teachers
and professors she was a genuine fav.
orite. Her untimely and entirely IN.
expected death has cast a shadow over
the community.
MISS lrma Augusta Uhde was a
young lady twenty-five years of age
and her home was at Davenport Two
years ago she was elected as a teach
er OF botany zoology and agriculture
and was considered a most proficient
teacher; in fact it is said by those in
position to know that Miss Uhde's
quallhcatlons in her chosen work
were superior to any other teacher
graduating from the State university,
She was to have again taken up her
school work at Denison this fall.
During the summer vacation she has
been an instructor for the State uni
versity, having charge of a summer
school in botany, zoology, etc. at Lake
Okoboji, where she had charge of a
number of students. Only Monday
last she had taken a number of young
ladies for walk around the lake, a
distance of twenty-seven miles and
had stopped at the Gulick cottage for
refreshments and rest, and she
appeared in the best of health and
spirits Together with her friends
she had spent the previous Sunday
with the Gulicks and on Monday had
gone to the Lally cottage, where she
had expected to spend the remainder
of her vacation.
The Review is pleased to be able to
publish herewith an excellent likeness
of Miss Uhde, taken from photo
graph of recent date.

voters out of a total of 6,5O5 and dis
franchised them for five years for
selling their votes-all in one county
in Ohio.
who heard Judge Blair's address had
read something OF his fight to clean
some of the political filth out of Adams
county, Ohio, but they had never
dreamed that conditions could exist
anywhere like the speaker told of in
that one county. 1t is difficult for a
voter living in Iowa to imagine men
being placed on the auction block and
their votes sold in exactly the same
manner that horses. COWS and hogs are
sold; where men boasted openly of
the amount of money they had secured
for their votes; where even the school
children took part in the buying of
votes, and had a finger in the plum
basket afterwards, and where some
thing like twenty-six out of every one
hundred voters in the county are now
disfranchised.
Not An lIIiterate Glass.
In beginning his address the judge
stated that he wanted to make it absO-
lutely plain that the population of
Adams county, did not consist of lot
of illiterate people, foreigners or ne
groes. On the other hand the resi-
dents of that particular county are
better educated than the average in
any county in the country, and out of
the 1890 disfranchised voters there
are only two foreigners and about
twelve negroes.
The corrupt election methods Sc
cured their start soon after the war,
and have been continuing ever since,
he said. In Adams county in the
early days there lived great numbers
of old Virginia soldiers who had served
in the revolutionary war and who had
been granted 200 acres of land each by
the government. The first government
road in the country led through Adams
county to Kentucky and the Ohio
river formed an easy and safe means
of transportation in the pioneer days.
On this account many of the great
statesmen passed through Adams
county, and as travel was slow they
became more or less we'll known. The
game of politics started early, but up
to the civil war the county was demo
cratic. After the war the county was

The police jury has made a start
that certainly deserves the approval
of the people Of this parish who want
to see an equalization of the burden
of government. For years the little
one-mule farmer has been paving
taxes on practically every dollar that
he owned; it was easy for the assessor
to see what he had, and he got 1t all.
Likewise with the little home owner,
1t didn't take a search warrant aud a
brace of bloodhoun1s to locate what
he had, and nothing escaped the as
SCISSOR or tax collector. But the large
land owners, nae big corporations and
and tenement owners, have long es-
capped their just proportion of the
burdens which taxation brings. The
present police jury has gone into the
question Of equalization, apparently
with determination to correct some
of these abuses, and has made an
honest endeayor to equalize the as
sessments so that each citizen would
pay his proportion of the taxes, "as
the Lord hath prospered him..

Col. Boyd.

His friends i'm Natchltoches and
they are many. have been very much
distressed by the reports that have
been current concerning the removal
OF Col. Boyd from tine presidency of
L. S. u. which position he has filled
since he resigned as president of the
Normal some Is years ago. He was
reluctant about leaving and the
Natchitoches people were loath to
see him depart and did all they could
to have him remain but certain pres
sure was brought to bear to make
him feel that it was a duty and a
sacred one incumbent upon him to
take this presidency at the State Uni
versity. which position he has filled
with honor and credit ever since.
But politics now reign supreme in
school circles as has been eyidenclai
in many instances and when the fiat
goes forth nothing can STAY the hand
SO it may be possible that the Col.
NAV be the next upon the sacrificed
altar. And sacrifice it will be In

say upon the subject:
| We note with the interest that all
such gossip wins, that Colonel Z. ID

succeeded by Alphonse Smith of the
University Of Virginia, formerly
professor at L. S. y.
Further-we quite refuse to get ex

very good reason that we do not be-

expectation of homegrown pro-
ducts at the lowest rates consistent
with the maintenance of the trans
portation companies in the dis
trict.
Another effort OF the proposed
bureau will be to establish direct
connection with the primary mar
kets in which demand exists, or
can be created, for the present and
prospective products of South
western Louisiana. This, they
say, is an absolute necessity if
satisfactory profits are to be real
lied from the efforts of the
farmers.
Advertising will be an impor-
tant feature of the bureau. Pros
pective immigrants will be told of
the fertility of the soil and of the
delightful climate. Louisiana soil
in the opinion of the originators
of the idea, is the most productive
of the world, including the banks
of the Nile. Through the employ
ment of skill almost anything
mentionable as an agricultural pro-
duct can be raised in Southwestern
Louisiana. If this fact is pro-
perly brought to the attention OF
manufacturers there is possibility
of canneries and packeries being
established in the district With
the realization of this possibility
comes the necessity for the farmer
to be skilled in the cultivation OF
those things that are required by
the manufacturers. Hence the In
tention of the bureau is to instruct
men in diversified and intensified
farming.
