James F.. Penniwell.

James F, Penniwell, son of Sol
ONION and Catherine Penniwell was
born in Fayette county, Ohio, near
New Holland, July 81, 1885, and de-
parted this life at his home in Leon,
Iowa, August 20, 1914, aged 70 years
and "a days.
Mr.. Penniwell came to Decatur
county with his parents in the year
1855, and continued to make his
home there until the time of his
death. He was the eldest of ten chill
dren, all of whom have departed this
life except one brother, Samuel c.
Penniwell, of Leon, Iowa.
In 1861 he was united in marriage
to Miss Barbara Wadsworth, who
preceded him to the great beyond
! on August 10, 1910. To this union
were born seven children, four boys
and three girls: John E., of Van

member of the choir, in fact, nearly
every office in the church was held

Methodist church, and of the Davis
City Methodist church as we'll.
He was man of sterling integrity,
devoted to his family, and never for
got a friend, or one in need. Being
one of the pioneers of the city of
Leon, he had always taken an active
interest in local affairs, and did much
in building up his town and county.
He had served on numerous Occa-
SlOnS as memUer vi IAe Aeou sIuooi
board and on the city council, al
though he was never AN office seeker.
Funeral services were held at the
residence on west Commercial street,

odist church. The music for the

forting hymns were sung. Interment

nected series of lessons is given by
members of the college faculty.
These centers are held on Saturdays
during term time, as frequently as
desired by the teachers.
Sixteen centers have been in oper-
alton the past year, enrolling over a
thousand teachers. 1t is the inten-
ton to offer this service without ex-
pense to the teachers, through ap-
preparations making it possible for
the college to meet all costs.
The rural demonstration schools
are proving very popular. Ten of
them have been in operation during
the past year with such success that
the districts enjoying this privilege
have unanimously asked for con-
tinuation of the relationship. These
schools are taught by teachers spe-
cially trained for rural work and
serve as observation and practice
schools for teachers in training. 1t
is the purpose of the extension work
to plan model schools in every
county of the state, as rapid as pas
sible
Free tuition is now given to all
students in normal courses. If Pres
ident Seeeley's recommendation car
ries this privilege will be extended
to students of all grades. The school
prepares teachers for all lines of
public school work.

TROUBLE
SOUTHEAST OF CITY

Considerable concern is felt for the
farmers and their crops in the coun-
try tributary to the Mansion slough
which for the first time in twenty
six years has caused trouble sim
liar to that caused by high waters in
1886. The trouble this year is attri-
buted to the neglect of country
ditch Nc. 1 which was constructed at
considerable expense to take care of
just the trouble from high water
which exists now and protecting the
first tier Of sections in Kurtz town
ship. 4
1t is alleged that Wilkin county is
one of the sinners which has con-
tributed to the present trouble, by
allowing the ditch to become choked
up with weeds, grass, ETC., as that the
course of the water, after heavy spring
rains, is seriously INSTRUCTED. Since
1887 a number of drainage bitches
have been constructed and they flow
into the Buffalo river, which is little
else but a big ditch and conditions
now are that ditch No. 1 is not able
to take care of the overfiows of water
it was built to take care Of. Conse-
quently there is a vast stretch of wa
ter over fields for a considerable dis
lance and unless there is an immediate
receding Of the water a great deal of
damage will be done to growing crops,
Authorities say that the flood water
expanded to within 41-2 miles of the
city Of Moorhead. Engineer Hopemar
says there is urgent necessity fol
the deepening of the present system
of bitches which should be wideneG
and deepened at the outlet. f

Washington, June 12.-Fresh from
its long and spectacular fight in the
senate, the Panama tolls exemption re-
peal bill, returned to the house for
the action in the Norris Simmons
compromise amendment before going
to the president for signature.
Chairman Adamson of h commerce
committee, in charge Of the bill, at
once moved that the house concur
with the amendments instead of send
ing it to conference.
The repeal of the Panama tolls ex"
emption for American coastwise ship
ping passed the senate last night by
a vote of 80 to IS.
Those voting for repeal Included
Crawford, Gronna, McCumber. Nelson
and Sterling. Those against it in
cluded Senator Clapp.
The passage of the bill, after a bit
ter struggle, lasting for several months
is regarded as another victory for
President Wilson. Although thirteen
republicans came to the aid Of the
democrats by voting for the bill, the
president initiated the movement in
his party.

MOORHEAD DEPARTMENT
Commencement
of Moorhead Normal

Supt. William F. Webster Of the
east high school, Minneapolis, delivered
the twenty fifth commencement ad-
dress at the state normal school, last
night, before an audience which
crowded the auditorium of the school
to- excess and it was n Of the most
interesting and enthusiastic gather
iugs which had eve assembled in the
great room. Mr.. Webster, who was
formerly of the Moorhead public
schools, "a received with a genuine
show Of cordially and there were
many who were delighted to hear his
voice again.
Mr.. Webster had for his topic, >ie-
sponsibility, which he defined very
clearly and convincingly n many
times during the delivery of the ad-
dress his remarks were punctured
with audible expressions which gave
evidence that with force and ~eloquence
the speaker was sending his lessons
home.
The invocation was delivered by
Pres. J. A. Aasgaard Of Concordia
Lutheran college and he also pro-
nounced the benediction, in the alb
sence of Rev. Dwight F. Mowery of
the Congregational church.
Preceding the address for the oc-
Casion the quartet choir of the First
Congregational church, Fargo gave a
finished rendition of The Spinning Wheel
a selection from the opera Martha, by
Won Flotow. Following the address
two numbers were played by Miss
Margaret Bentley, violinist. and as
sistant supervisor in the school de-
partment. of music. Miss Bentley
played very exquisitely two move
ments, andante and finale, of Mendels-
sohn's Concerto in E minor with Miss
Lillian c.. Wright at the piano.
In the absence of the state superin-
tendent of public instruction, who
found it absolutely impossible to be
present, the diplomas were presented
to the members of the class by Atty.
C. G.. Dosland. resident director of the
normal school. Two special diplomas
were awarded, forty advanced diplomas
and fifty-eight elementary diplomas

senators over the repeal f1ared up
again last night and before Oil was
poured on the troubled waters, Varda-
man and West came neal to blows. APP
parently, only the interference Of AS
hurst and the presence Of the sar-
geant-at-arms prevented a physical
encounter. 1t lasted but a minute, but
the senate. worn by the long debate
and night sessions, livened up n dis
played interest such as has not been
evidenced for weeks.
The trouble started after a bitter
exchange of worde between Varda-
mar and James, who vigorously cri-
ticised Vardaman, who in turn told
hin he was not stating the truth.
Thea West took the floor, and entered
a protest against the charge of Varda-
man that those voting for the repeal
were guilty of treachery to the demo-
cratic party.
There has been no certain promise
from the White House hat the presi-
dent will sign the bill with it's quail
flying amendment, but there has been
no declaration that he would veto it,
and rarty leaders of the senate are
practically certainn that it's approval,
as amended, by the house. will lead to
favorable action by the president.

RED RIVER RISEN TWO
FEET SINCE YESTERDAY

According to the reading of the river
gauge at 1870 this afternoon by Miss
Grasse Of the local station of the
United States weather bureau the
reading today was 1879 feet, a rise of
two feet since the reading yesterday.
The high water began to show itself
after the rains last Sunday night. June
7, and the water in the stream Their
was at a rather high gauge and it has
risen about twelve inches a day since.
For the second time, this spring, the
small wooden foot-bridge in the park
between Moorhead and Fargo has been
out of commission and for general
safety sections Of the structure were
removed by the authorities this morn
ing. The water is SO high now that
the dam is entirely under water and
the stream is now a perfect sheet of
water above and below the dam and
the floors of the several boat houses
are deeply submerged. Old timers
contend that there is a likelihood that
the Red river will show still more
swollen conditions, but none that will
afNse any trouble in the two cities
