ceived from w B. Collins suggesting
that the board drop the teaching Of
German and Latin and substitute

cided, but the matter may be brought
up later. The investigation of work

left to Member Boyd.

of the bill of the Weatherproof Calk-
ing company for work done in two
buildings, and to hold back 25 per cent
until final test of the work has been
made.
The matter Of loaning musical in
struments for patriotic celebrations

mates it as THE Day OF Blowing the

leaf and fading flower turn man S
mind TO serious reflection, and sounds
the admonitory message: Awake,
and ponder your deeds; remember
your creator; return to Him in peni-
tence. Be not of those who reach out
after shadows, and waste years seek,
ing vain things which cannot profit
or deliver Look we'll to your souls
and consider your acts; forsake each
of you his evil ways and thoughts,
and return to God, that He may
have mercy upon you"
Rosh Hashanah is also known as
the Day of Memorial, the Day OF
Judgment, Of self-examination. Ira
dition tells US that on this day the
ruler OF life weighs the doings of
man, and allots to each his destiny,
as it were, for the coming year, for
veal or woe. for life or death. Shall
trumpet be blown in the city,
and the people not tremble?' (Amos
III, 81 For the Lord is our Judge;
the Lord is our law-giver; the Lord
is our king; He will save US"
Its message to man is threefold:
a. to contemplate all experiences Of
the year-joyful and sorrowful--in
the light Of discipline, by the ruler
of human destiny, and TO renew our
rust in Him; % to scrutinize our
conduct, conscious that God, the
Just Judge of the world, searches the
heart, and to consecrate the new year
to a nobler life; CD and to look up
on the life story of Israel as of ones
self in the light of Gods revelations
on Sinai, Moriah and Zion.
Special music and prayers mark
the observance of the Feast. which
though solemn is nevertheless replete
with the spirit of joy and optimism.
While Orthodox Jewry devotes two
days, Reform Judaism observes only
one day.

Another Big Company Formed.

AhotheF Big Company Formed.
Patrons of this boat knew there
would be no long waits If they were
to leave OMIT Some time after the
civil war another company, known as
the Keokuk Northern Line Packet
company, was organized and one can
imagine what money there was in the
river business then from the fact that
the capital stock Of the new COM
pany was STSs.o0O.
John S. McCube, the principal
stakeholder in the old Keokuk com
pany, was president Of this new con-
Germ and as long as Mr.. McCube lived
the company prospered because he
was a capable business man.
He died in 1874, about the time
the railroads were becoming powerful
competitors with the river lines, and
in 1881, the ST. Louis and st. Paul
Packet company was organized, and
for years it ran in conjunction with
the Diamond 10 line, which later cold

Captain Pennoyer was with the old
Diamond 10 line before it was sold to
the Streckfus lines, and for years he
has been with the boat companies.
But the Influence of the boat com
panies began to wane. and before long
the railroads were becoming such
strong rivals of the river lines that 1t
was evident that only in emergency
cases would the river lines stay.
THE Diamond 10 line was estab-
lished in 1867 by Joseph Reynolds
with a single boat, and was used at
first to handle his private business at
points north of Dubuque Later 1t ex-
tended its operations down the Mis-
sissippi. finally as far as Quincy, and
then to Hannibal, Louisiana and St
Louis, and 1t was successful, finally
being bought by the Streckfus lines,
of which Captain Joe StrecSfus OF St
