People on the streets were considerably
surprised yesterday afternoon to see the
doors of the big dry goods establishment , the
Boston store , suddenly clos > ed during the
busiest part of the day. Placards In the
windows announced the fact that the closing
was due to a change In the firm and that
the store would remain closed until Monday
moinli.g. The change Is one that will be
very much regretted by thousands of people
ple In Council DluITs and western Iowa , for It
means the retirement of Mr. Fotherlnglmm
and Sir. Whltelaw , the two sterling young
men who have become extremely popular
while building up the remarkable business
that 1ms made the Boston store one of the
best known mercantile institutions In the
west. The purchasers are Messrs. Fowler ,
Dick and Walker of New York.who constituted
the "Co. " part of the old firm. Mr. Charles
Fowler has been In the city for several days ,
and the negotiations have been pending since
Saturday. The change of firm means a com
plete relnvolce , and to accomplish this In
the shortest possible time it was necessary
to close the store.
Messrs. Fotherlngham and Whltelaw have
been residents of the city for five years , and
it Is safe to say that no merchants any
where ever enjoyed more gratifying succcts
than these energetic young men have
achieved In Council Bluffs. They have made
their establishment one of the foremost In
the western mercantile world. Just whnt
their plans are for the future Is not known ,
but the people of this city will earnestly
hope that they will still remain here.
The new firm is n very strong one , w'th '
large dry Roods Interests in eastern cities ,
and thoroughly competent to continue and
Increase the business of the big establish
ment here. Mr. Fowler will have charge of
the store for the picscnt. lie Is an energetic
nnd agreeable young man , and will push the
business on. the same broad and liberal lines
that have been elements of success In the
past.

Who Thought to Sutlnfy
TIlliHty MuccdoiiluilH Arrested.
Macedonia Is a democratic town , but It has
not had a saloon since the prohibitory law
was passed ten years ago , so It Is said. Dur
ing the soldiers' reunion that was held there
this week some Council Uluffs persons
thought It would be a good time to make
a little money and Incidentally do good to
their neighbors by curing their thirsts by
starting up llttlo "Joints" In the woods Just
cast of the park where the meetings were
held. For a llttlo Whllo the "Joints" did n
rushing business , for it was thirsty work
listening to so much oratory. Hut unex
pectedly Deputy United States Marshal 13. W.
Illllweg dropped down upon the scene , and
Thursday evening four melancholy bootleg
gers wore brought to this city to have a
hearing before Commissioner Kteiuhimn. Doc
O'Leary , J. O. Davis and W. II. Morton ,
three of the defendants , were granted con
tinuances until Saturday. William Boltcn ,
who had a horse and buggy and carted his
bug Juice around the outskirts , will have a
hearing on the same charge at the same
time.
The arrests caused something of a sensa
tion In Macedonia , for the saloon keepers
had carried on their business so quietly
that some of the people wllo had been drink
ing water supposed that was all there wan.
A man named Miles was served with a
subpoena as a witness , and he promptly no
tified the constable who served It on him
that he would bo d before he would go.
The olllcer tried to force him to go and
Miles struck him several times. He was at
last driven Into a corner and his combativeness -
ness was taken out of him. The arrests caused
certain other persons who were Just on the
point of opening up "Joints" to abandon the
Idea , and the saloon business in Macedonia
received a sudden check.

o'clock Thursday evening , had an exciting
time of It , and fatal results were barely
escaptdi The train was going along at the
rate of about fifty miles an hour , when the
sleeper left the track at a point about eight
miles south of Pacific Junction , The engi
neer felt the thumping of the car as It
ran over the tUi and Instantly put on the
air brakes. Although thd sleeper was filled
with pasgeugeri , no one was Injured , lor ,

1'nlil In Ditrlne Prohibition' * Dity.
The stilt which has been n matter of proph-
tcy for several years past has become a
matter of history now , nnd an attempt will
be mide to compel the city to return to the
pnlooti keepers of Council Blurts all the
money that was paid In the shape of "month
ly fines" for the privilege of running saloons
undtr the prohibitory law. J. U. Fulton Is
plaintiff and the city defendant In a suit
commenced In the district court yesterday
In which Judgment Is demanded for the sum
of $20,831 30 , that representing claims of sa
loon keepers and cx-solooii k epers for money
which they claim was extorted from them
Illegally during the last five years. Fulton
was unable to go beyond five years , for all
claims back of thai tlmo are now outlawed.
In his puitlon he alleges that the money
was paid under protest.
It was expected that the suit would be
commenced some tlmo ago , but It Is said
that one reason for postponing the suit until
now was that the assigning of such claims
to any one would be apt to play havoc with
the clnnc-s of the party assigning for hav
ing n permit Issutd by the city under the
mulct law. The permits have now all been
Issued , to that the saloon keepers feel that
thiy are settled for one yar , and they hope
to make enough out of Fulton's scheme to
keep tli m the rest of tl clr nit ral llv s wl h-
out having to depend on the liquor trafllc
for an Income.

LINCOLN , Aug. 11 Td the ! Editor of The
Bee. While U Is n t t'hb gi ( tom tor one
to announce hlmcelf formally js a candidate
for the nomination for any 'Htnte ofllce , his
asplrat ens commonly coming to his con
stituents through ether lehtmncls , still no
law of go d tense or of good taste will be
broken by a dcp.irt.ire front the cust m.
It would fccttii useless * tix announce that
which has been commonly ; and generally
known for month * pn t , but In the light of
n recent stntiment In certain sections Unit
"Mr. Gculy l.as w.thdravvn from the race , "
this Is nud > no : ary.
U'hlle my r.g-jlar work during the summer
has taken me Into n great niiny c unties
nnd Into every part of the state , my clllc nl
work In those counties tins made It Impossi
ble for mo to make a personal campaign In
the usual manner and thus to meet what
ever of argument may have been presented
antagonistic la my rcrumlnntlon , This seems
now the only available metlrd of bringing
my candidacy fully befcre the people.
One of our state papers recently said :
"Super ntcndcnt Goudy IB a candidate for a
third term wholly on his own responsibility ,
and his race Is to be made upon his record
of two terms of service. "
Now , in connection with this the. argu
ment against a third term has been used.
On this point , In the 1 ght of the hlstcry
of the department of education of the state
of Nebraska , I will only say that In decid
ing to make this campaign I had no thought
whatever of asking for the establishment
of a precedent or of there being any special
consideration or favcr to myself Involved In
the matter.
Two of the four men prev ously elected to
this otnce served three terms each. Thus
conventions and voters disregarded the "third
term" Idea In thla deportment , as the people
ple have laigtly In other educational mat
ters , and for me to decline to stand for rc-
namlnatlon because of the third term would
be In direct opposition to all I have advo
cated for twenty years past for teachers ,
school ofilcers , county superintendents , c ty
superintendents and principals and the heads
of Institutions of learning doing satisfactory
work.
Of course no school man will raise this
objection , especially as some of the county
superintendents are serving third , fourth ,
nnjl In one or two Instances , I believe , fifth
teiniH In their olllces ; and when city super
intendents and principals are serving con
tinuously In their respective Holds for n
lot ger series of years than even county
superintendents. School men everywhere
admit and teach adoption of long tenure In
school affairs as ths only sound one , and
the patrons of the schools are rapidly coming
to the same position , and , as n rule , are
loth to change a tried for an untried teacher ,
an experienced for an Inexpcrlenc d prin
cipal or superintendent of schools or head
of a state Institution of higher learning.
I am glad that the paper In question made
so correct a statement of my position. I
am In the race not wholly because "my
friends" demand It , but because , having had
four years' experience In the state supcr-
Inlendency as supplementary to many years
of experience in the primary and high
schcols , four years In the county supcrln-
tendcncy and two years as a member of the
faculty of the State Normal school , making
twenty years In various linen of school work
In Nebraska , I may without being' charge
able with egotism claim that I am better
fltted for the duties of this ofllce than ever
before.
In the past four years my entire time and
my best efforts havq been given to the
duties of the olllce with some results that
will be Interesting to those having the cause
of public education at heart.
1. Where four years ago there were few
counties making any special effort to sys
tematize and to organize the work of the
country schools so as' to bring them Into
harmony with the High school and with the
university todav nearly all of the counties
of the state are making efforts in this direc
tion with most encouraging progress , thus
preparing the way for the realization of a
school system , "the ladder with one end In the
gutter and the other In the university. " This
Is one point which this department , with
the hearty co-operatlqn of county superin
tendents and teachers , has. especially urged
and pushed. Much of the Impetus of this
matter of the Improved classification and
systemlzntlon of ths schools Is due to the
fact that the material for currying on the
machinery of the work- has , within the past
term , been furnished by the state office for
the first time , and at a very small cost to
the state and at no expense to the districts.
2. Where four years ago there were , be
sides the state teachers association , but two
educational associations covering any consid
erable territory of the state , and while the
larger part of the state was unprovided with
regular associations for the discussion of
school problems and of school administra
tion , there are now no less than six such
associations , covering the territory of the
entire state , each with an annual attendance
approximating that of the state association
of four years ago , and enrolling the past
year hundreds of teachers of the remoter
parts of the state who are not able to attend
the state association. This Is a work which
this department has urged and supervised
both directly nnd through the county super
intendents and other agencies.
3. The county Institutes have received a
much larger attention within the four years
of my administration than heretofore , up
wards of thirty counties having been vis
ited during the Institute season of 1S92 , up
wards of forty In 1893 , nnd so far this sea
son , owing to the grouping of the Institutes ,
over fifty institutes have been visited with
three weeks of the season yet to come.
4. Another thing attempted , and In a
good degree accomplished within the present
administration. Is the regular communication
through an established medium with the
county and city superintendents , with prln
clpals and school boards and with teachers ,
thus keeping the state department of edu
cation In constant contact with the schools
all over the state.
5. Under the present administration sup
plies of all sorts necessary for school records
and school reports , and for the machin
ery of the work have been furnished In
abundance by the state to the school dis
tricts at a cost greatly less than the dis
tricts themselves could have provided them
as well as nt a much lower average cost to
the state than ever before In the history of
the ofllce.
C. The affairs of public education cannot
be superintended from a chair In the ofllce ,
so I have spent probably one-half of the
tlmo out In the state visiting schools , at
tending meetings , conferring with school
officers , holding educational conventions
( much of this In the very remote pairs of
the state ) and In the manifold duties In
cluded In the active ftiipcrlntendcncy of the
schools of the state.
Doubtless there are criticisms of the de
tails of the administration of the affairs of
the office. But If I have not evidence of
the widespread and strong approval of the
general policy of the office , its progressiveness -
ness and activity In the right direction , an
activity and progresslvcness possible be
cause of the Improved equipment of the
olllce In the past four years If I have not
evidence of such approval on the part of the
school people of the elate , Including teach
ers , school officers , county superintendents
and heads of educational Institutions , as well
as of the patrons of the schools , It Is Impos
sible for one to have * such evidence.
On my own responsibility andtn my record
I am making my claim for renomlnatton ,
which , whlla It will personalty give me
employment , I believe that upon sound prln-
