JOHN f. ROWEN
Well Known Politician and Citizen

"Uncle Falstaff' Umpire.

It seems a shame that "Uncle Fal-
STAFF of the Ellsworth News should
miss seeing himself in this new
position: that of umpire" for the
miniature ball game. This game
seems to be a winner for it has at
tracted considerable attention from
those who pass by the August F.
Mueller show window-The bat
terry for the game are the ever
popular Moose and Ludeman. This
window is the clever ingenuity of
Harry Nye. Harry is quite win
dow decorator but this miniature
ball game is probably the best idea
he has ever thought of for some
time and, for fear "Uncle Falstaff'
may not show his presence in the
city during the show windows short
life and notice himself umpiring the
game, we give it honorable mention
in our columns.

Memorial Day Observance.

A large number of people are op-
posed to all kinds of games, races,
performances, ETC., on memorial day
and the Freeman-Tribune is with
them. That is no day for sports. 1t
is concecrated to hallowed memories
and ought to be devoted to exer-
cises appropriate to the things for
which it was made legal holiday.
We have nearly every week day in
the year for games of various kinds,
then why not give over this one day
exclusively to the things that prop
erly belong to it? A horse race, a
show, shooting match, a hunting
party, etc., would be just as appro-
pirate at a funeral as on Memorial
day. Cut them all out and join with
the old soldiers and their friends in
making the day what it should be.

MRS. GARDNER
IS FOUND DEAD
Had Been Dead Twelve or Fourteen
Hours When Body Was
Discovered.
LIVED HERE FORTY-ONE YEARS
Was Eighty.Three Years of Age in
December-Leaves Two
Children.
LIVED HERE FORTY-0 YEARS

Mrs n. l.. Gardner was found
dead in bed at her home on West
Second street about noon Saturday.
Death was the result of asphyxia-
tion. Mrs. Gardner had been max
ing her home with her son on the
farm this winter and came to her
Webster City home couple OF
weeks ago. The John Hanrahan
family occupy a part Of the Gardner
house. Saturday a neighbor tele-
phoned to the Hanrahan home and
asked about Mrs. Gardner, saying
that the blinds in her rooms were
down and as nothing had been heard
of her during the morning it was
decided to investigate, with the re-
suit as above stated. The rooms oc-
cupied by Mrs. Gardner are not con-
nected with the other part of the
house or the deceased would have
been found earlier. She passed away
some time during Friday night.
Twice before Mrs. Gardner had been
found under the influence Of gas,
which she thoughtlessly left on, and
she had often stated that she could
not smell gas. That is one of
the reasons her son insisted upon
her staying with him on the farm
this winter He feared some acci-
dent of this kind.
Mr.. and Mrs. N. L. Gardner came
to Webster City in 1871 and the
family have resided here ever since.
For many years they conducted the
Gardner House-now the Johnson
House-on Second street and were
very successful. Mr.. Gardner died
many years ago, since which time
Mrs. Gardner has lived alone much
of the time. The deceased leaves
two children, Geo. N. Gardner,
southwest of town, and Mrs. O. o.
Hall of Spokane, Washington.

while was that of Miss Mabel Wood

white lattice entwined with roses,
while the home, always attractive
to friends of the family, was made
more so by exquisite decorations of
pink and white.

her gown of filmy lace over soft

CHARLES 7. SMITH & SON HsssifS;seot Ss;fi;tes

opinion that the state board OF edu-
cation will have found that it bit
off a bigger bite than it can chew.
A man high up in Iowa agriculture
said today, that if the state board
fires Prof. Kennedy, that the farm
ers will go to their next general as
sembly and abolish the state board
of education.
There is no question, it seems,
that if a faction of the state board
succeeds in retiring Director Ken
nedy, a fight will be fought such
as Iowa never saw before.
Director Kennedy was asked to-
day what he knew about the osten-
sible situation as published in the
state newspapers regarding the
probability of his being deposed by
the state board. Four days ago his
attention was called to a story
printed in a Marshalltown newspa-
per, which was in substance to the
effect Of the later stories appearing
in the Des Moines papers yesterday,
that he was to be "fired." He then
said, "It is news to me, and / know
nothing about it. But when he saw
the papers yesterday, he had some
thing to say.
When interviewed last night, Di-
rector Kennedy had his fighting
Jaws set. He said that before the
matter got too far, that he wanted
to tell the people of the state some
thing they don't already know, per-
haps, about the methods Of at least
some of the members of the state
board Of education, viz, Thomas
lambert of Maquoketa, a member of
the finance committee of the board,
and J. H. Trewin of Cedar Rapids,
who was then chairman Of the
board.
Prof Kennedy makes the sensa-
tional charge against former Chair
man Trewin that when he was go
ing through Des Moines about the
middle of last March, that Is March
a year ago, he accidentally met
Chairman Trewin in the lobby Of
the hotel Savery, and that Trewin
publicly upbraided and gave him a
"cussin", where others may have
heard II they did not, because he
had refused to ''line up with the
board in its scheme to coordinate
the engineering college of Ames
with that at the state university, to
abolish home economics at Ames
and concentrate all that education
at Iowa City, and to cut the curri-
culum of the state teachers college
in two.

NEWLANDS DOES NOTHING FOR NEVADA

piration, no uplifting encouragement
has come from him TO raise the ideals
that make a great state out OF an ad-
vancing people. The veXed questions
of right and wrong. of responsibility
and of culture have been reserved for

Were Newlands merely deficient he
might be tolerable, but he has actu-
ally repressed the progress OF Ne
vada, politically and every other way,
upwards toward the light. He has
put a ban on party regularity and he
has encouraged by his own example,
party detection. He has striven to
stamp out every manifestation of JUS
tifiable independence that ever show
ed it's head in this state. He has in
Suitably accumulated all the wires
of power in this state and has pulled
them and twisted them into a cable
to bind him to that place where his
vanity and his ambition may gorge
themselves in defiant contentment.
There are persons and institutions
that will take the domineering and
the dictaton of Senator Newlands
/ There are institutions that will meek
ly recant on his threats of excommu
nication There are persons and in
situations that win cramp their ac
