needful accuracy of points, circles
and lines, but the inexorable blue
pencil of Mr.. Conlee's has been a
safe index, pointing to the right.
The school feels proud of this ex-
hibit, and will be glad to give all
friends and patrons the opportunity
of seeing the sum total of the boys
achievements.
Miss Marvel's exhibit will be the
sewing done by the high school
girls. All sorts of plain and fancy,
pretty and useful articles have been
made by the girls-all of which will
be worth looking at.
The emblems for debate, athletics,
and glee club are being prepared at
the shoe factory. These emblems
are in recognition of the merit due
those who have upheld the school in
these particular activities. The en-
blems are of new and unique design
and are entirely different from those
of previous years, being the original
work of Paul Nickerson, of the class
Of '13. A part of the class day work
IS awarding these emblems to those
who deserve them for their efforts.

CHAUTAUQUA MAN.
ACERS HERE soon
Will Make Final Arrangements for
This Year-Location not Yet
Determined.

The advance agents of the Red
path-Vawter Chautauqua bureau
will arrive in the city inside of the
next ten days to make final arrange
ments for the Chautauqua to be held
in this city this summer. In all
probability, the week of attractions
will be held in a tent located upon
the central school grounds. Public
sentiment seems to favor the plac-
ing of the Chautauqua this year in a
more central location than the old
one on the north side, and although
the question has not been entirely
settled, the school grounds is per-
haps the spot where it will be held.

MRS. John WITTNFR OF
b[A|RSbURC SUICIDES

home with her six weeks old baby
All these things coupled with power
ty, made her load too heavy to bear.
The husband was at the time of her
being brought before the commits
sioners, advised to take her home to
her mother in Missouri and give her
a complete rest. This she refused
to do on account of the three or four
small children who would be left at
home without proper care.
Friday after asserting, as she
had many times before, that she
would never leave her children alive
and go away from them, she told her
elder daughter that she was going
to her room to lie down. The door
was shut and locked and a moment
later the daughter heard the death
struggles of the poor woman, who
had tied binding cord to a nail just
over the door, fastened the other end
about her neck as she stood on the
foot of the bed, and jumped off. The
daughter terrified, and unable to
open the door, ran away from the
house for help, having to go for
some distance, the house being situ-
ated at the extreme edge of Blairs-
burg. When help arrived, the wom-
an had been dead for several min
utes.
The most pitiable feature of the
case was the fact that Investigation
revealed her brave struggle with
poverty; the clothes Of the children
being neat and clean and everywhere
in the home was the silent evidence
that, with almost nothing to do
with, she had tried bravely to meet
the needs of her family and keep the
home up. The case Is certainly one
of the most pathetic which has come
to light in this vicinity for several
years.

PEACE sunday
WAS OBSERVED
Rev. L. c. Mclaughlin of the Uni
versalist Church Speaks on
the Curse of War.

Complying with the request Of the
Church Peace Union of America, the
Universalist church observed Sun
day as Peace Sunday. The pastor,
Rev. l.. c. Mclaughlin, delivered a
sermon on "War; The Curse of the
Ages"
The speaker spoke upon the three,
phases of war-its wastefulness, its
unreasonableness, it's wickedness.
The fact was brought out under the
first heading that our government
spends every year over 72 per cent,
of its total revenue either for war
like measures or in payment for past
wars, while great internal improve
ments are handicapped through lack
of funds. In the second place, war
was pictured to be unreasonable in
that armed conflict merely meant a
shifting of the situation and not
true solution to the question in dis
pute. Under the last caption, armed
conflict was declared to be wicked,
as it still was a case of might
against right.
In closing and in dealing with the
Mexican problem, Rev. Mclaughlin
said: "The state of things which
has held US in suspense for the past
year cannot continue indefinitely.
Will it be war or peace? Another
week may see our forces storming
the heights of Chapultepec."
'I do not understand the foreign
policy Of our government. 1t must
be that much information is with
held for diplomatic reasons. To one
not behind the diplomatic scenes it
is an enigma. 1t appears to be
series Of contradictions. Mexico is
in a hysterical state. Our strength
should make us patient Peace even
though purchased through unpre-
cedented magnanimity is preferable
to the peace obtained through the
sorrow and distress that war would
inevitable bring. Our country's
greatness would preclude the charge
of cowardice. In the name of the
thousands of young men who would
go to an early grave; in the name
of the long line Of sorrowing wild
ows, mothers and daug ughters, in the
name of humanity, I protest against
hope, let us work, let us pray, that
some other way may be discovered
out of this difficulty, and this hid
eous threatened catastrophe be
averted.'

Begin Work on Curb and Gutter.

ZlttereII Z sullivan began the
construction of curb and gutter on
Water street this morning. Many
streets are to have this improvement
this summer and the work will be
pushed as rapidly as possible. The
contract price is 40 cents linear
foot and the total cost will be about
fifty-five cents per foot, including
all extras. The price is about right
and if a good job is done there will
be no just cause for complaint.

DIES AT SAC CITY
Former Well Known Resident of

a Few DAYS Ago.

The last issue or the sac City Sun

of Mrs. J. NJ. Mccarthy, former
well known resident of Blairsburg,

Mrs. J. M. Mccarthy, for twenty
years an esteemed resident of Sac

at Saugatuck, Mich, on Monday
morning, May II, 1914, after having
been an invalid many months be-
cause of heart disease and a general
breakdown. Her husband arrived in
Sac City yesterday morning and her

charge. In addition to Mr.. McCar-
thy and his son there were present

came residents Of Sac City, which
was their nome uulll lue spring Ol

MINI. After eight years residence
there they moved to Webster City
and their home has been on a little
farm in the edge of that city since.
To Mr.. and Mrs. Mccarthy were
born four children, one of whom, a
daughter, died in childhood. The
three sons are Bryon H., who is a
clothing merchant at Gillette, Wyo. ::
Joseph L., who is employed in Glac-
ier National park with headquarters
in Great Falls, Mont: and William
Clinton, who is employed in the lum-
ber business at Laurens, Iowa. Dur
ing her residence in Sac City Mrs.
Mccarthy had a fruitful part in the
activities of the Methodist church
and also otherwise worked for the
betterment of the community.

an easy closing.

Grain Market

CHICAGO, July 14.-South Dakota
reports of heavy damage from black
rust steadied the wheat market to-
day in the face of bearish cables. The
amount of territory affected by the
plague seemed to have been consid-
cradle indeed, and it was said that in
the districts where the rust prevailed
the durum wheat was the only va
riety which had escaped harm Open
ing prices, which were a shade to
AQ9s lower, were followed by a re-
oevery to last nights level.
Absence of export demand counted
later against the bulls The close was
nervous, b4A to 20 under last night.
Predictions of rain weakened corn.
Selling pressure, however, was not
heavy. After opening y off to a up,
the market underwent a decline all
around
oats sagged with corn. The July
option, especially, suffered from lack
Of support.
Afterward the market rallied owing
to reports of severe damage in the
South, but the effect on prices failed
to last. The close was steady at a
net decline of 5s@% to 161h.
Enlarged receipts of hogs made
provisions ease off. Lard held up bet
ter than pork or ribs.
