DIFFER ON SCHOOL QUESTION.
Hanseli and Coulter Hold Different
Opinions az to Consolid alton.

Special to Times Iepublican.
Hampton, March 1S.--Only about
twelve miles apart in different parts
district OF Hansell and the voters Of
the proposed consolidated district Of
Coulter present widely divergent
opinions as to the consolidation plan.
At Coulter, the second vote has
been taken on the question. each time
ii being lost by about four to six
votes. The proposed boundaries were
the district made. somewhat. smaller
but the majority against 1t was four
votes. 1t is probable that the lines
will be still further changed in the
hope that Coulter may get up to date
ir the school line. 1t was soueh: to
include one entire district of Morgan
township and portions Of two other
districts. The district composed sew
enteen and one-half sections.
Over in Ingham township the con-
solidated district of Hansell was the
first in the county to so organize. and
no more ardent advocates of the plan
can be found anywhere. AT the re-
cent school election there, the ques-
ton Of bond issue of $4,000 to pro-
vide residence for the superintend-
ent was carried by three-to-one
vote. The school at Hansell is one
of the best in the state and it is
heartily supported by the taxpayers
Of the district.

HADLEv RESIGNS POST.
Legion Commander at Nevada Re.
signs to Run for Attorney General.

Special to Times-Republican.
Nevada, March iG.--At the last
meeting Of Nevada Post No. 4S of the
American Legion, the resignation Of
Major Herbert E. Hadley as post
commander was presented and &C.
copied.
The resignation of Commander
Hadley was necessary under the
constitution Of the American Legion
which prohibits any Of its officers
seeking public office, while serving
as an officer of post.
The recent announcement of Major
Hadley as a candidate for the re-
publican nomination for the office Of
attorney general placed him within
the ban of this rule and his resig-
nation was necessary.
In accepting his resignation the
members Of his post paid him very
handsome tribute and commended
his candidacy very highly to the
voters of the state of Iowa. The
resolution in which his resignation
was accepted, said in part:
great advantage to the principles Of
the American Legion, to the interest
of ex-seryice men as well as of all
true red FLOODED Americans of the
state of Iowa, that the office Of
attorney general of our great state
be held by man who is not only
able in every respect, but one who
knows man, one who respected a
hundred per cent American citizen
ship. and one who believes in strict
inal laws but the laws for the pro-
lection of our state and government
as we'll as our homes and citizens,
and one who If elected would fill the
office with honor and respect to tho
state as well as the people he repre-
sents:
BE it therefore unanimously re-
solved, that the resignation of Her
bert e. Hadley as commander Of
Nevada post No. As. be accepted,
and.
BE 1t further unanimously resolved
that we take great pleasure in pre-
senting and recommending to the
voters Of the state. the name Of
Herbert e. Hadley. as a candidate
for the. office Of attorney general Of
Iowa. who, If elected. we know will
fill the office with credit and honor
to the state and its citizens In every
respect"

The state department reports that
no poison was found in green olives

olives found to be infected were in
glass containers.
1.-THE probable cause of this poison
occurring only in olives in glass is
that they are not processed at a

sE-PEO OUT REIGNING BULL
Kindly Act of New Member of Herd
Something the Keepers Had
s,s.rs-ss7- Never Seem BeEoEe.

Usually when a new bull is taken
into the buffalo herd at Golden Gate
park in San Francisco his standing is
promptly decided by challenge from
the head of the herd. The newcomer
either wins the fight and in turn is ex-
allied to the rank of sovereign or he
is defeated and shown his place. But
new bull, MOgul, recently proved to
be an exception. He was two years
old, a fine example of what a young
buffalo should be, and he seemed thor
Oughly content to mind his own bust
ness and to let the other bulls mind
theirs. No one would have known
that there was a new buffalo in the
herd.
One morning the keepers saw that
there was something in the air. MOgul
was shifting round the reigning bull.
They were apart from the herd, heads
down, and were moving round slowly.
1t was the queerest beginning of a
bullfight that the keepers had ever
seen. 1t appeared as if MOgul would
knock out the old bull with one toss.
AS they moved round and round Mo
gul seemed to be hOrning the other
bull in the eye, and the other bull did
not seem to be making the least re-
sistance. Then they pulled apart and
Mogul put down his head.
The old bull had a bunch of thOrny
cactus sticking over his right eye, and
MOgul was hOrning it off as best he
could with his clumsy short little
horns. Finally, after two more at
tempts, circling round as before. he
got the cactus off, and each moved
away about his own business.-YOuth'S

RUSSIA LAND OF HOLIDAYS
Almost InnumerabIe Occasions When
All'Work Is Suspended and Time
Spent in Pleasure.

Russian people observe vigorously
all religious hOlidays-fve at Christ
mas, ten at Easter, three at Carnival,
and almost every week one extra day,
when an anniversary of some saint is
celebrated. On these days everything
Is closed, and nobody works. The six
weeks Of fasting preceding Easter are
strictly observed by everybody, and the
more devOut do not even eat eggs or
drink milk, and do not use sugar, be-
cause 1t is refined with blood. The
last three days Of Holy week are still
more respected, for no food at all Is
consumed. For Easter Sunday, very
large cakes, sometimes three or four
feet high, are cooked with beautiful
ornaments on the top, and eggs skill
fully painted. Both cakes and eggs,
with other eatables, are brought on
Easter eve near the church and placed
all about on the ground. After the
midnight mass a procession of priests
and chOirS comes out and walks
around the church, blessing all the
food, which is arranged before them
as in a market.
Easter Sunday and the two follow
ing days are dedicated to paying Wis
its. Every man calls upon his acc
guaintances. Visitors are obliged to
eat and drink wherever they happen
to go, otherwise they will offend the
host.
