Fail to Find Murderer

Mason City, July ia twenty
four hour chase with bloodhounds
that took in Hanlontown, Lake Mills,
and up to Blue Earth, Mimi, has
failed to develop any trace of Peter
Zubretz, supposed murderer OF
STEPHEN Tarasto. It is the opinion
of authorities that Zubretz is, either
in hiding within the city or not more
than five miles from its outskirts.
Mrs. Zubretz, wife of the wanted
man, is being held in the county jail
as witness. She was not taken,
however, until she had torn to pieces
all the photographs of her husband

Some Immense Corn.

Speaking of prize corn. can you
beat this? S. Boonstra on April 25'
planted a patch of Reeds Yellow
Dent" field corn, that now shows a
height of eight to nine feet and is in
tassel and silk Three stalks are
shown in the Herald office window.
One had three ears, another two, and
a shoot coming and the other is unde-
veIoped. Here is a specimen worth
looking at. Mr.. Boonstra's only regret
the corn is that they do
not have more of it, This specimen
went through the late frosts and
stands witness to the theory that ear
ly planted fields thrive best

The republicans will elect the
next governor of Iowa" says the
Fairfield Ledger, and whoever he
may be he will enforce the laws
against the liquor traffic just as fully
and just as strongly as any OF his ri
walls might do. When practically the
entire people of the state, regardless
OF party, have made up their minds
that the liquor traffic must go, it is
going The most unpopular thing
a governor could do would be to fail
to enforce the law, if opportunity
came to him, and such thing would
kill him and might wreck his party.
Talk of the other kind is all rot"

LOCAL DASHES,

Out at Evans on the occasion of the
Fourth of July celebration last Mon
/ day, o. c. G. Phillips, who made the
formal talk, let loose a number OF
ideas, among which was one account
ing for the loss in population in the
state. He was holding to view the
greatness and the prosperity of Iowa,
this splendid state of ours, and as
serted that it was this same prosper
, ity that made possible the loss in
population. Along in the pioneer
days of the state" said Mr. Phillips,
and for years thereafter the farming
lands were picked up at a compare
lively low price, the lowest being to
the early settlers. The farmer has
lived along and has found himself
surrounded with a large family until
frequently in a locality of five hun
dred acres there would be pOpula-
,tion of fifty or more, - children,
grandchildren and it NAV be. great
grandchildren. Then along comes
some fellow with cash offer of $50
per acre for this land. Can the far
mer afford to mold this land at that
price? No. He takes the money
and those who have occupied the land
move to other states to occupy cheap
err land and the place of the fifty
people is taken by the few"

Blowing through a dream.

So the spirit will not seem
SO niendicant and bare.
Mending up the sunshine that used to
glow so sweet,
And mending all the faded flowers life
scatters at our feet!
Mending up the places
Rent and ripped and torn
Mending up the twilight
Till it turns TO sunny morn.
Making old things over

Days that once were clover,
Trying to make them last
Mending all the old hearts with kind

Mending them with sunbeams to help
to hide the tear,

THE LITTLE RED scHooLHousE


1t is quite the fashion for urban
people to smile. when the little red
schoolhouse of the rural communities
is mentioned but all such smiles
though apparently sophisticated, are
vacuous, foolish. That same little old
red schoolhouse has been the means
of giving more real men TO the nation
than all the cities in the land. our
urban schools have yet TO prove their
superiority They tell us that the
little old red schOolhouse is faulty be-
cause of bad sanitation, because ii is
remote from urban centers and can
not have the up-to-date appliances,
etc. for educational instruction. Heard
that, haven't you? Well, notwith-
standing all that sort of jabber, the
cities continue to receive the product
Of those same little old red school
houses, and that product is what
makes il possible for the cities TO sur
vive and progress.
Perhaps editors and newspaper men
are more closely brought into contact
with the people who want to break
into print" than any other class and
If communications were printed as re-
ceived, the editors and newspaper
men would have to take to the woods.
Most folk seem to think that all that
is necessary is to express thoughts in
writing without reference to the rules
of spelling or grammar, and that the
newspaper will attend to all such
things as bad spelling and bad pune
tuation, etc. But folks who come from
the country; who have been taught in
the little red schoolhouse. do not think
that way. They do not have to think
that way They know how. to write
