The second Iowa district recently
elected a democrat to the lower house

President Wilson and democratic lead

Pennsylvania people are looking at
the question of education sensibly as
evidenced by the adoption of a resolu-
ton calling on the board of education
to provide for an election for a uni

five cents on the hundred dollars

trict taxes. By this method it is hop
ed to lengthen the school term and I'M

meantime suspended business.
A civil suit was instituted against
Mr.. Park by the railway company to
recover the amount involved, and
Judgment in favor of plaintiff was
awarded by Judge Workman in the
local district court some weeks ago.
Since the suspension OF the
Bank of Donaldsonville Mr.. Park
has been located in Fort Worth.
Texas, where he is residing with
his brother, Rev. Edward F. Park, a
Cathollc priest in charge of st.
Mary's Church in that city.

on the charge entered by the district
attorney, but later this amount was
reduced to $4,000 by Judge Workman,
on application of counsel for the &C.
cused. Mr.. Park was notified by
telegraph of the proceedings against
him, and he arrived here Thursday
afternoon and furnished bond. DR..

the outcome will be prolific Of any
