County Superintendent Snow Sets
Date for Hamilton County
Training School.
WILL BE BEGUN ON JUNE 18TH
Hamilton County Teachers Will Get
Same Training at Home They
Would Elsewhere.
In order that the teachers of Ham

In order that the teachers of Ham
ilton county may be saved the ex-
pense of going away to school and
yet be able to pass the required ex-
animation which will become neces-
sary after July 1, 1915, County Su-
perintendent Snow will hold six
weeks normal training school here
beginning June 18th. The Saith Cen
eral Assembly recently passed an act
making twelve weeks normal train
ing in an accredited school re-
quisite to certi6cation after the date
stated above. 1t also provided that
manual training, domestic science,
and agriculture must be taught in
all the schools of the state after that
date.
The Hamilton county teachers are
indeed fortunate to be able to get the
required amount of schooling at the
county seat, where many of them
can stay at their homes and others
will be able to go to and from their
school work every week. The work
which the school teachers will re-
ceive here is the same as they would
get in the State Teachers college at
Cedar Falls. The teachers will also
receive individual help here which
they would not get in the state col
lege where the enrolment is so
large.
The courses will include the first
grade subjects and agricultural,
manual training and professional
work of didactic nature. The
teachers will have all the advant-
ages of the splendidly equipped high
school which includes high grade
physics and agricultural laboratories
and a remarkably complete manual
training shop. The library facili-
ties offered here are equal to any
| college library in the state, for the
teachers will have access to the
county teachers library, the high
school library, and the Kendalll
Young library. a Z

June primaries. Mr.. Blake is we'll
known throughout the county, hav-
ing been born in Jewell twenty
four years ago and came to Webster
City with his parents in 1904. He
attended the Webster City high

term as deputy clerk under Clerk
John C. Sterling and soon mastered
the duties of the Office. He is we'll

of good habits and is in every way
worthy the support of his friends.

A Runaway.

A team belonging to Roy Gordon,
who resides in the southwest part of
town, created considerable excite
ment this morning by running down
Second street for five or six blocks.
The team was hitched to a steel
water tank and started in the west
part of town and did not stop until
they arrived at the city watering
trough, where they decided to take
a drink. The team, with the heavy
water tank, made considerable noise
and no one wished to attempt to
stop them, as the danger of being
hurt was plain.

There is no doubt in the minds OF
Webster City hunters what the Of

no shooting of geese or ducks is go

out this spring. They are practical

Indications are That Webster City
Will Supply Duncombe With
Electricity Very Soon.
COUNCIL FAVORS THE PLAN.
Committee Appointed to Confer
With Committee of Duncombe
Business Men.

The city council met in special
session last evening to consider the
matter of furnishing electricity tc
the town of Duncombe, or rather to
the Duncombe Light & Power com
pany, which company would distrib-
ute it to it's patrons. The council
after discussing the matter and list
ening to the report of Superintend-
ent Mullins and the committee ap-
pointed to make investigation, de-
cided to appoint committee to
meet a committee of Duncombe citi-
Zens interested, on or before next
Thursday night, for the purpose of
drawing up contract, subject to
the approval of the council. It is
likely that the same rate will be
given as is given heavy consumers
in this city for power purposes. 1t
appears that the proposition is likely
to go through and that work of
building a line from the city plant
on Third street to the western city
limits will soon be commenced. From
there the Duncombe company would
build to Duncombe. 1t is estimated
that the line will cost from $500 to
$500 per mile. The committee ap-
pointed by the council is composed
of the following: John Essig, B. F.
Paine, Ed. Garth, Fred Hahne, c. H.
Swiney and Superintendent Mullins.

S SUFFERING MUCH PAIN

E. P. Harrison, a prominent farm

this city, was seriously injured yes
terday afternoon about five o'clock
whether he will recover or not.
From all that can be learned Mr..
Harrison went to the field with a
team and low truck hay rack to get
load of hay for some stock he was
feeding. On his return when leav-
ing the field he got off the wagon to
close a gate and while attempting
to climb back on the load slipped
and fell beneath the horses. The
team Immediately started to run
down the road and as the truck was
low Mr.. Harrison was dragged for
nearly one hundred yards before the
truck released him. He then lay
there unconscious for some time I'M
til a neighbor who happened to be
passing found him and carried him
to his home where medical aid was
Immediately summoned. The terri
BILE pain in which Mr.. Harrison Is,
will not allow a thorough examina-
ton to be made and while he is ter
ribly lacerated on his head and
shoulders it is not known how bad
his condition is. When Mr.. Harrison
fell it is thought he fell doubled up
and it is feared that his back may
be seriously injured in some way,
Mr. Harrison is a brother Of Deputy

MAUS0LEUM COM
PANY IN TROUBLE
Concern That Attempted to Build
in Webster City Faces
Bankruptcy.

A few years ago the Iowa Mauso-
leum company sent representatives
to Webster City to make arrange
ments for the erection of a Mauso-
leum in Graceiand cemetery. Our
people very properly offered them
no encouragement and they left
Webster City thoroughly disguised.
A short time thereafter they appear
ed in Waterloo where they met bet
ter success than in this city. They
erected a Mausoleum there and in
many other places in Iowa, but in
dications are, that the business prov
ed disappointment as the following
from the Waterloo Courier verifies:
An involuntary petition in bank
ruptcy has been filed in the federal
court at Dubuque by creditors of the
Iowa Mausoleum Co., an institution
which operates over wide terri
tory west of the Mississippi river.
No details of the action are
known here other than that it is al
legged the liabilities are heavy. The
officers have the privilege of appear
ing in court and objecting to the
proceedings, and it may be q days
before the files are returned to the
local referee in bankruptcy, Fred S.
Merriau.
This concern was organized sew
eral years ago and F. F. MCKINNEY
was president. Mausoleums were
built in various cities in the central
western states and crypts offered for
sale. The first one built by the
company was in Waterloo. Gradual
ly the territory over which the COM
pany was operated was extended.
The company owns valuable patent
rights and its assets consist of these
and unsold crypts.
Several claims on account have
been filed in the Black Hawk county
courts in recent years and a few OF
these are still pending. In a suit
tried last week before Judge Dun
ham the Mausoleum company and
F. F. mckinney were named with
J. w. Hough as defendants, the
plaintiff being the Fairbank State
bank. The action was on a note for
$2,500. There was no denial of the
legal character of the claim, the on
ly question being as to whom should
pay. The jury favored j. w. Hough
1t is reported that the liabilities
are alleged to be in the neighbor-
hood of 100000.
