Old Landmark Gone.

OLD lSN0mATk SoU0s
One by one the old landmarks, the
earnest reminders OF a sacred past
days Of labor and sacrifice. which
created the splendors OF today, are
passing away. ~ Last week the fele-
graph sent on its swift wings the It'd
ings that the sixty-year old residence
of the late Judge Samuel H. Fairaii'
east OF Iowa City, was completely de-
stroyed by fire. The house, 1t is SAID
was built over sixty years ago ana
later passed into the hands OF Judge
Fairall. Until the fire, the old home
had been occupied by Harry V. Fafran
and Frank Fairall, his two sons. HIS
daughter Mrs. Maud FairallStockman
is a resident OF Davenport. Judge
Fairall was a prominent figure in his
day and 1t is pleasant to recall a
memory Of him. He was born at
Little Meadows, Allegheny county,
MARYLAND, In June, 1885. and after a
literary and legal course. settled IN
Iowa City in 1855 just as he was en-
tering into his young manhood. He
prospered In his adopted home and
rose to local and state wide distlnc-
ton. He was member OF the legis-
lature for many terms, both In the
lower house and the senate OF Iowa,
and a long time Judge OF the district
court In his home district. He
was an honest and courageous leader
in politics and represented his party
moro than once at national political
conventions. The old home is gone
but the able qualities OF Judge FAIR
all are still green in the menSry OF
those who knew him or were familiar
with the record OF his acts as q law
yer. iurist and statesman.

MAKING INVESTIGATION
Railroad ofneIais viii Endeavor 70
Find Reason for Obstruction
Being There Last
evening.

An investigation IL being made by
the railroad authorities Of what 10 be.
lieved to have been an attempt to
wreck No. 10 southbound Burlington
train last night a mile north OF Alex
andria, by putting tie on the track.
The engineer Of the train reported
that he had picked up tie near the
Des Moines river bridge. Whether
some miscreant placed the obstruc-
ton there with the intent to wreck
the train is not established, but such
is presumed to be the csse, and the
road authorities are Investigating.
The train left Keokuk last evtning
as usual, about $40 o'clock. just
north OF Alexandria the engineer OF
the train saw an object on the track
and the pilot of the engine picked up
the tie which had been laid across the
track. It would seem that there was
no reason for the tie being placed
there accidentally at least. ana the
conclusion is that 1t was placed on
the right OF way in the effort to wreck
the train.
The train proceeded to Hannibal
where the engineer made his report.
and the company officials ordered an
investigation Of the affair. 1t Is un-
derstood that special agent Is
working on the affair.
A report was current here last
night that pile Of ties had been laid
across the track, but this is not be-
lieved to be the case in the light OF
the engineers statement.
This Was Not So Serious.
A funny incident was related as oc-
curing yesterday, and which proved
not so serious matter as the tie at
fair. The passengers on the north
bound train yesterday afternoon told
the conductor that man had fallen
out Of the window. or off the roof OF
car near Montrose. They said they
had seen body falling.
An engine was Immediately sent to
the scene after Hannibal had been
notified, and when the crew got to the
place where the tragedy was supposed
to have happened. they discovered a
mans coat lying ~ the side Of the
track. It evidently had dropped out
OF the window or Pad blown out.

Boys Are Worrying the Judge.

81 haven't much hair on my head
at best" remarked Judge Freeman
this morning, "and unless some of the
parents in Ardmore take to looking
after their children more closely,
will have none at all before my term
of office as county Judge expires"
The remark was prompted by some
boys who have been getting into mis-
chief for the past year and whom
their parents seem to have no control
of. The judge stated that he was go
ing to give them one more chance,
and the next time they were amenable
to his court, that something was go
ing to happen.

VERY student in this city will do
l. we'll to dwell on the words of the
Rev. DR.. william s. Bovard, gen.
eral secretary of brotherhood
work in the Methodist Episcopal
Church, who recently addressed the
boys of the Harrisburg Academy. THE
successful student makes the success
full man." he declared.
In those few words is bound up
such a world of truth that hours of
thought might be spent upon them.
To cite the thousands of examples of
men of the present and the past
who have hung the pennant of
success to the Flagstaff of their
lives is unnecessary. Every one
knows that success comes only
through hard work, plugging and
sacrifice. The student of the Central
or the Technical high school who frit-
ters away his time in the dance hall,
poolroom or movies" will reap the
reward Of failure just as surely as the
boy or girl who spends his spare time
in conscientious endeavor to make the
best OIL MS tdieHlS Will SOlllS beNS 6eA
ner the harvest of success.
How often do you hear older men
and women lament the fact that they
wasted their opportunities while in
school. And most of these are trail
ing on behind the chariot of victory
snuffing the dust of the fellow who
plugged" and who is getting there"
Any businessman who employs boys
or girls when school days are over can
tell in three weeks whether they
worked while in school; whether they
really know anything; whether they
are the sort who will make good and
cause the dust to fly, or that other
class who do nothing much but get in
the way.
1t is the studious and industrious
who draw down the big pay checks as
the years go by.
