A Carload of Waits.

A carload of waits from New York
City was sent to Maquoketa, Jack
son county, and placed in homes in
that vicinity If the children are not
as represented the society providing
them homes will take them back.
The children are aged from four
years to fifteen years and are of both
sexes, but boys predominant. A COM
mittee had the placing of the children
in charge and a reception was ac-
corded the youngsters upon their ar.

children were well dressed, clean and
manerly. A great crowd was at the
train upon their arrival.

Road Costs i'm Kansas,

Kansas Highways, the official organ
of the state highway commission of
Kansas, says that the cost of roads
being constructed in that state is not
as great as the talk of the enemies of
hard road construction would have
us believe. 1t cites several instances.
Shawnee county is constructing a
concrete road eighteen feet wide
from Topeka east to the Douglas
county line. This is approximately
ten miles in length. A citizen of
Shawnee county living outside the
benefit district and townships in
terested, will pay II cents a thous-
and for twenty years as his portion
of the county's share of the road inn
provement. On the townships share
each $1,000 worth of property in the
townships benefited will pay 3Sh
cents a year for twenty years, and
the average cost an acre to the land
in the benefit district, interest in
Guided, is $4.17. Hence a man in
Shawnee county who owns 100 acres
of land in the benefit district and
pays his apportiOnment in twenty
annual installments, all his taxable
property being $4,000, will pay to-
ward the construction of this con-
crete road the following amounts !:
County tax, $1.20; township tax,
S3.S5; benefit district tax, 1896;
thus making total of $38.41 a year.
Reno county is laying over seven
miles of brick pavement, eighteen
feet wide, which will cost the owner
of 100 acres, with taxable value OF
$4,000, only $3.50 year
Labette county is constructing a
siXteen-foot gravel road, which will
cost the farmer of similar property
$21.70 year.
When one gets down to real figures
the owner of fine farm can enjoy
the use of paved road to the city
and from there to other cities, at an
expense that he can we'll afford to
meet.-Davenport Democrat.

PCstville "In" On First Paved Roads

PCstville I'm" On First Paved Roads.
The Allamakee board of superyis-
ors were in session the greater share
of last week when plans were drawn
for the first hard surfacing of roads
in Allamakee county. Careful consid-
Grafton was given to everything bear
ing on the question and in conjunc-
ton with the county engineer it was
definitely decided to place the plan
before the State Highway Commits
sion of commencing ,Allamakee's hard
surfacing of roads by building from
| Waukon northeast on the Lansing
road as far at the County Farm al
least. Another project will start at
Postville and proceed north to the
, bottom of the Yellow River valley
1t is thought that these two projects
will be all that can be handled in this
county during the coming year. The
total mileage will be about six to
eight miles. Plans are being made
to commence on the construction
work as early as the weather will
permit in the spring. When the real
hard surfacing commences in ALA
makee county we believe It will not
be long until the real value of this
kind of road presents itself to all and
that the voters will come 10 more

COURT DECIDES SCHOOL BOARD
IN THE WRONG.
Girl to Get Diploma According to
Ruling on Cap Case.

Guthrie Center, Ia.-Nearly two
years ago the people of Casey,
Guthrie county, were divided into
factions because of a wrangle over
the requirement of the school board
that all members of the graduating
class must wear caps and gowns at
the commencement exercises. Miss
Beth Valentine refused to so attire
herself and a diploma was refused
her. Suit was brought to compel the
board to issue her a diploma, the
case being taken to the Dallas coun-
ty court at Abel, and the board of
directors was sustained. Mr.. Valen-
tine appealed the case to the supreme
court and that tribunal reverses the
decision of the lower court. Further
more the high court establishes the
fact that public ceremonial is not
graduation. 1t declares that this is
not what entities a student to di-
ploma but that it is the completion
OF the prescribed course of study
which alone is necessary. The EVIL
dence showed that Miss Valentine
did complete the necessary four
years course and obtained grades
above those required for graduation
Justice Preston, who wrote the opIn-
ion took the board to task for Ito
position in requiring the students
wear caps and gowns at the gradu-
alton exercises. eve are of the
opinion that the order OF the board
was unreasonable and arbitrary" he
said, land such a rule that no board
has the right to make" He states
further that both parties should have
avoided court action. "a little COM
mon sense would have avoided the
litigation" he said.

Miss Ellen is "a Plucky Husker for
$500.

Miss Ellen Larson of near Odebolt,
Iowa, has courage, pluck and is
some corn husker. Just to show that
she had faith and believed in herself,
she told Farmer Adams that she
could shuck SO bushels of corn in one
day, between sunrise and sunset.
Mr.. Adams told Miss Larson that
she could not husk fifty bushels of
corn in day. She said she could and
Mr.. Adams told her that he would
pay her $500 a bushel, besides the
7 cent regular wage if she husked so
bushels.
She took her team out in the
morning when the men went to the
field. She came in at noon with 80
bushels and came in with 81 bushels
in the afternoon. making a total of
63 bushels, eighty pounds weight,
She therefore made $319,41 for the
day.

More Examination of Wounded Boy,


George Kelly went over to DEBORAH
Friday night upon call of the war de-
partment to have his wounded knee
examined. On Saturday evening she
was again required to go to Dubuque
for similar examination. He re-
manned in Dubuque over Sunday and
Monday. One time recently he was
called to Winona, Mimi. The govern
ment is making the wounded lads do
lot of hiking around just to be ex-
amined, when Waukon has physicians
and surgeons who are fully as we'll
qualified to do this work as any in
DEBORAH or Dubuque. But the depart
and to think the boys have nothing
to do but trot all over creation. Geo
4 rge's trip to Dubuque was all for
nothing, too, for the examining ply
stefan was out OF the city and he will
have to go again at Thanksgiving
time and let another doctor make
out the very same report on the same
blank form that upwards of dozen
doctors have already filed out and
sent in to- the department. Harold
! Toney was also in Dubuque over Sun
day on like errand.
The wounded boys throughout the
country are being examined now for
= the purpose of procuring a complete
census of them, upon which to fix a
working basis in re-adjusting insur-
ance allowances. There is evident
need of adjustment, too. Some pri-
Yates with slight wounds are said to
be receiving up to $45 a month, while
George Kelley, with wound that
cripples him for life and compels him
to wear rigid steel brace from his
thigh to his ankle, receives only SO
a month compensation. His check
for that amount for October reach
ed him yesterday. And George tells
us of one of his comrads who lost
a leg during his service who receives
only $3.50 per month compensation.
On all these trips to be examined,
the service men have to advance their
own expense money and George has
in the neighborhood of $50 tied up
in. this way. his vouchers having not
yet been paid.-Waukon Republican.

A $4,000 Pound Express shipment

A $4,000 Pound Express Shipment
The biggest shipment of express
ever received in this city arrived in
Postville over. the Rock Island the
early part of this week. 1t was a
carload consignment from TT. Wayne,
Indiana, to the Inter State Power Co.
at Postyille and its weight was, to
be exact, 24,760 pounds The con-
signment was three transformers for
the new station this company is just
completing here The express charges
were $474.63, and the war tax on
it $23.73. Being the biggest thing of
its kind that ever blowed into Post
vile, Agent ]. E. Perry quite natur-
ally feels little elated over it.
1t is evident that the new company
is making an earnest endeayor to give
Postville and the other towns it
serves better light and power service
and they are spending money un-
sparingly in purchasing the best pos
sible ipment.-Postville Herald.
