the committees in charge. to be held

the Times Republican has carried the
news of the reunion to many old stu
dents whom the committee had lost
! sight Of and knew not where they
were now living. Many of these are
| making their plans to attend. 1t is
hoped especially that many Of the
former trustees of the old seminary
boards will be able to be present
There will be a place of registration at
the seminary building. where young
ladies will provide badges for all old
students. The old seminary bell. that
has done duty for so many years, will
be taken from the nelfry and placed
on exhibition, according to present
plans.
This old bell has a history that rivals
in interest that of the old seminary
building itself, as recounted in the
T.-R when the reunion was first
talked Of.
The bell was formerly stationed on
an old steamboat of ante bellum days,
which piled on the lower Mississippi.
The boat was finally sunk and the bell
was removed and placed at an old
southern plantation to notify the
slaves Of the hour when they nigh:
knock off" work and partake of their
corn pone and SOW belly" 1t was at
this old plantation that Capt Gideon
Wheeler, who died in this city a few
years ago. and who was a former stu
dent at the Albion Seminary and en-
listed for service at Albion, found the
old bell. He knew of the seminary's
need for a bell. got permission of the
federal officers at Columbus, KY, to
remove 1T, and shipped it north. The
old bell has done constant duty ever
since.
H. G. Wheeler. Of this city. a son of
the late Captain Wheeler, is to be at
the reunion.

Answer to Defy.


Answer to Defy.
In recent issue of the Northwestern
Banker there was published the cha1-
lenge of the baseball team of the Mar
shalltown State Bank. of this city, that
even its friends admit has become some
"chesty' since it walloped the First
National Bank team. The challenge
ended with this sentence. III your bank
has good team ask the the MARSHALL
town State for a list of open dates"
Now comes Clinton seeking a game.
A picked team from the banks OF that
city wants the date OF Labor day here
The Marshalltown State Bank team
finds that the fair grounds could not be
secured for that day and any way the
question of expense for the visiting
team might be difficult to procure from
admissions. 1t Is quite probable that
because Of the question Of expense
negotiations for the game are likely to
bog down unless some philanthropist
among the bankers digs up the expense
money.

alton of an X-ray machine, as the re-
suit of which a patient received a NOR

preme court of Minnesota in State vs.
Lester. The court said:
I'VE must take judicial notice that
X-ray machines sometimes infiict Sc

acterizes the instrument used as dan
gerous unless skillfully handled and
presumptively known by defendant to
be such, notwithstanding which he
placed it too close to his subject, and
also failed during an excessive ex
posture to give her the attention requi

New State Song

In the closing hours of the state
senate last Sunday morning a great
scrap was made on Senator Hasty
for president of the senate ad interim,
but as usual Doc won and is now in
line as governor if the Governor and
Lieutenant Governor are both absent.
During the fight after about thirty
ballots Colorado's new poet laureate,
Flynn, was guilty of the following
which was sung to the tune of Tip
perary:
There is some way to elect Hasty,
There is some way we say,
There is some way to elect Hasty,
If we have to stay all day.
So goodnight dear old whitewings,
Good night, old stand pats,
There is some way to elect Hasty
If We must use rough on rats.

By John Kendriek Burns

Interesting municipal ownership de-
velopments recently recorded include
the establishment at Holyoke, Mas
sachusetts, of a municipal piggery,
which is fattened, sweetened,
and otherwise sustained in the style
to which piggeries generally are ac-
customed by the garbage collected by
the city. Great things, we understand
are hoped for from the ensuing mu-
nicipal pork barrel, the statement be-
ing made that Holyoke's sister city of
Worcester has made not less than
thirty thousand dollars in a single
year by the sale of municipal pork.
We shall watch the Holyoke expert
ment with sustained but somewhat
anxious interest. 1t has been a sad
popularity of public pork barrels in
the past that the public itself has
not benefited very materially if at all
from their output. That glorified
hogshead, which is inadequately de-
scribed as the national pork barrel at
Washington, has been managed for
many years in manner to constitute
a chronic condition more bung than
barrel, and its profligate wastefulness
has been these many years so motor
ious as to constitute one of the stead
lest scandals of our political system.
But in smaller field, thirty thous-
and dollars field instead of thirty
million dollar one, perhaps it will work
better. Certainly if it be a proper
venture for a city to put its butchers
out of business by entering into a
luminous competition with them, there
is no reason why it should not go back
a step or two further and attack the
sources of supply themselves, remov-
ing from the reach of the farmer
himself the royalties he has been re-
ceiving from the profits of his pen.
The next step will probably be mu-
nicipal hen coop, ultimately to be
merged with the other into sort of
municipal ham and eggery. And in
