IOWA MILITARY SCHOOL
Government to Act on Proposal to Es-

Washington, Jan. 1S.-The house
! military affairs committee, of which
Congressman Connolly is a member,
has about decided to make a favor
able report on bill that would estab-
lish a military school in Iowa, and the
other states, modelled after the West

vides means of creating an army re-
serve of trained men whose services
would be available in time of9war.
The bill, which is fathered by Con-
gresham Mcclellan, of Tennessee.
would have each state appropriate $780,
600 annually for the support of the
Institution, the federal government APP
propriating $4,000 for the use of each
state. The site of the school would
be selected by the legislature and the
! idea is to have it made part Of one OF
the established state institutions.
After the second year it is provided
that each such state military academy
/ should have an enrolment Of not less
than 800. The county superintendent
l,of schools would be empowered to Sc

NEW PROVIDENCE Holds
TWENTIETH CONSECUTIVE
LECTURE COURSE.

Special to Times Republican.
New Providence. Jan. 1s.--The town
OF New Providence Is conducting this
year its twentieth consecutive lecture
course. This is probably the oldest
lecture course in central Iowa. In the
season of 1S95-1S96 Laurence 7. ker-
sey then principal OF New Providence
Academy. instituted the first OF this
consecutive series. Previous to this
courses had been held at Irregular In
tervals. During these twenty years.
men of national note in lyccum WORK
have appeared here. Among these
such men as William Hawley Smith.
ELI Perkins" the humorist; l.. F..
Copeland, Sunshine" Willets. George
r. Vending. Col. George W. Balm. and
John Temple Graves, the southern ora
tor and editor; Bishop Bristol who
was President Mckinley's pastor In
Washington; Newell Dwight Hills. of
the Beecher church in Brooklyn. and
Hon. Victor Murdoch. the insurgent
representative in congress from Kan
sas.
The courses have cost from $3.50 to
$500 year. the average would be
something over $500. Thus this town
of less than $50 population has spent
over $4,000 in lyceum attractions.
A few of these courses have been
maintained by individuals. but the
greater number have been backed by
a list of guarantors composed OF the
business men of New Providence and
farmers of the surrounding country.
Some years the course has not paid
for itself; but the guarantors have
made good the deficit without COM
plant, believing the courses were
worth more to the community than
their cost. For the last few years the
association has had a surplus at the
close of each season.
AT the last number. which was held
on Friday evening of last week. thirty
five men signed an agreement to guar
antee a course for the season Of 1916
1916. The guarantors met at the close
of the lecture and chose committee
of five from their number to manage
the coming course. This committee is
composed of the superintendent of the
school. business man. and three
farmers. The last two courses were
furnished by the present speaker Of
the house, w. l. Atkinson.

LITIGATION COMES HIGH.
Fort Dodge Man Pays Costs Of Hum
cIreds Of Dollars in PETTY Suit.

Fort Dodge, Jan. sc. c. Kelly, the
loser in the famous case of Digger and
Kelly, which has been termed the
Jones county calf case" of Webster
county, appeared in the office of the
county clerk and paid the costs in the
lower court. which amounted to 1924.
This is apart from the judgment
amounting to $3.50. The addition of the
appeal costs to the costs of the case In
the lower courts brings the total up
to 1921. The attorney fees in this
famous case in which the best legal
talent of the city was opposed, will
amount to at least $500 a side. The
controversy involved the payment of
1923. Before the dispute went into
litigation Digger offered to settle for
SIS.
Kelly takes his defeat gamely and
said that he fought his fight and is
satisfied.
