THE BIG PUBLIC QUESTION.
Road Improvements Will Be Debated
Pro and Con Ere Long.
Tin* big public question, this year
will in' road improvement. It seems
strange that there would be any ‘'op
position party" to those who want bet
ter roads, but if you think there is no
opposition, start a road campaign in
your locality and find out As a mat
ter of fact, tin* road problem is of far
more importance to the farmer than
either tin* traffic or* silver question
A good road costs money. It is a
business investment requiring a large
outlay of cash at first, and the Inter
est on this investment comes back
not only directly In the* form of eaSli.
bin Indirectly, as the farmer along lb
road is able to save horse power in
hauling Ids crops to market. The
chief question is, how is the money
to 1m> raised? Who is to handle and
pay it out? It is a financial matter
*
ra'lier than a question of engineering
skill It ought to he debated and
r* debated in every sohooiliouse in

"Here Goes Nothing."
Hoys with lulls on the back of their

Give Schools More Attention.
l ie public school deserves more at
tention than is usually given them.
Parents as a rule, regard their entire
duty in tins connection discharged in
pajing their tax and properly cloth
ing and sending their childeren to
school. There is reason to fear that
many look upon the school room as a
nursery to relieve them of their
troublesome children. The public
schools cannot accomplish the full
measure of their possibilities unless
the parents join with teachers and
directors in attention to pupils

POLITICAL "BUTTINSKIES ‘
USING STATE NORMAL AS A
POLITICAL -EVENER.
A Mot/e to Oust President Crab
tree. the Nestor of Normal
Work in the State.
if there is any one thing into which
prejudices and politics should not
enter it is the school business. The
teachers and school men should be:
chosen and retain their jobs purel'
upon their merit and ability,
■lust now, that tile Supreme court j
haft declared the law creating a new '
board of education for stale normal
schools unconstitutional, it seems
that prejudice and polities are about
to chop of# the official head of Presi
dent .1 \V. ( rabtree. of the Peru
Normal.
.Mr Crabtree, it is safe to say, is
the great'>st school man the Peru
Normal has ever had at its head.
In tin' short term of his service he
has done more to organize, strength
en and bring into prominence that
institution titan all the other princi
pals combined since its organization
as a state school in IStiT. and yet this
old board of education, just return
ed to their seats, seemed determined j
to cut off the good work which has
been carried on. Just to satisfy some
petty prejudice.
Professor Crabtree* is the man for
the jol), and that man once found
should be retained. 11 is removal
would be a mistake, which it is our
opinion, the public will not tolerate*.
Mr. Crabtree is a brother-in-law to
Dr Wilson of this city, and has
earned for himself national recogni
tion as a school man Let's have;
him left where* he is lie's on tin*
right job.

Died at Her Home.
Mrs. Asa Rogers die*d at hei home*

long and serious illness. Last Thurs
day she submitted to an operation,
but this was te>e> late to be* of liic*
desired benefit and her suffering end
ed after a long and patient struggle
to regain her health. She had borne
it all and lngt each trial with Chris
tian fortitude and the end found tier
prepared for the future that lies be
yond the Valley of the Shadow—a
Christian faith being her stay in all
her trials
Susan VV'illeford was born in iloone
county, Iowa, seventy-two years ago.

friends.

Her Choice.
'1 hey were sisters-in-law and tea*
sounbly well disposed toward each
other One was the mother of George,
aged six months, and the other the
mother of Marian, aged six months
and four days. It was Impossible that
a slight parental rivalry should be al
together concealed.
"Marian does not seem to grow very
fast." said the mother of George, with
a suggestion of commiseration in her
tones “George is much taller—”
(height being measured in inches).
"Perhaps lie is," replied the moth
er of Marian, coldly, "hut Marian
weighs more.”
"Oh. well." rtsponded the sister-in

the race would he fast and exciting.
While the entries are not complete,
the following are a list of the "fel

Mosena. Jeffrey Unfrocks, Prof.

HE LAUGHS.
A Falls City Man Thinks Too Much
Attention Is Given Abroad.
To Tile Tribune: It is my time to
laugh. I'm one who has to “stand”
for a good deal of talk about the
heathen in foreign lands, and the
mucking of brands from the burning
everywhere but at home. My wife,
urnest in her work, wants to save
the world, hut persists, like many
pr< a Iters, in going away off yonder
to succor the fallen, when in fact
she and her co-laborers have a Imr
cuban lask rigid Imre at home -right
nndt r her nose, so to speak.
Seven gambling houses in Falls
City didn't worry her—it didn’t worry
the preachers. They didn’t for a mo*
rnont stop to consider who peopled
these illicit dens- -who was loser, who
was the sufferer; possibly they didn't
know there were gambling houses in
Falls City—the other end of the world
held their attention so steadfastly.
I laugh. Why put the lic^ on now?
Was the law in force last month, last
year?
No wonder it becomes necessary to
hire an evangelist occasionally to
wake up a community, for they need
waking up. and most of till who need
waking up is my wife and the preach
ers.
Lord, hasten the day when these
new churches will be completed and
our ministers will get down to husi
te s. HUSBAND.
BASKET BALL.
Our Boys Won The Game, Falls
City 32 and Auburn 13.
\W are proud of our basket ball
boys. As we predicted, they won the
game with Auburn last Saturday by
a score of 32 to 13. They were not
playing for money, but the honor of
their school. As might be expected
when a bribe is offered, the Au
burn boys came prepared to win at
any cost. The first half of the game
was rough, hut our boys held the
visitors to close play. In the last
half the feeling showed itself, and
there was much that had better been
left out. It was very tough. Falls
City would not be imposed upon and
tit for tat probably marked the
game—also a few noses. The game
was played indoors on account of
the rain.
It is to be hoped that in the future
mercenary element will be omitted
from all games. Let high school
athletics stay where they belong and
let the teams play for the original
good — the honor of their school.

Mrs Albert Bertram was operated
upon Wednesday at her home for

COMPOSE! CF MANY ISLANDS.
Monroe County i Florida Is Probably
th* Most1 Unique in the
Whole Country.
Monroe county Is the most unique
county in the state, if not in the
Unit1 '! hiatus. The larger portion of
the county is made up of a group of
islands or. as they are called, keys,
both on the east and west coasts. Tha
only part of Monroe county on the
mainland is the Cape Sable country,
the i 1 treme south end of the United
States on the1 mainland.
Tiie larger portion of this land is
what is known as the Everglades, and
but a limited number of acres are now
under cultivation. What effect the
proposed drainage of the Everglades,
will have in Monroe county is not
known, but it is doubtful if any large
areas will be drained because of the
flatm ss of (he country and being so
near sea level In the vicinity of ' i
Sable there are large bodies oi rich
alluvial land and a considerable quan
tity has been under cultivation fur
several years past.
All kinds of tropical and seini-tropi
cal fruit trees grow luxuriantly on the
keys and bear full crops ol fruit each
year. Every key .s surrounded with
water and the great portion of them
have clean white sand benches with
bluffs varying In height above high
water mark. All or these building
sites are in full view of either the
ocean, gulf or bays. -'Jacksonville

STRANGE ACTION OF MEMORY.
Scenes of Other Days, Thought For
gotten. Are Suddenly Flashed
Into the Mind.
Often suggestions out of all keestfu*;
with the surroundings come, and H
may be asked, ‘‘What made you think
of that ?" Frequently we are positive
that no conscious train of thought has
brought up the idea. These memories,
out of all rhyme and reason with our
atmosphere and conscious occupation,
pop into the mind and surprise uu
with their incongruity. Are these
spontaneously originated as they seem
to be, or have we merely forgotten
the connecting train of ideas, as is
often contended? The author but re
cently, while looking at some dill pick
les, had flash upon his mind the
image oi a Southern California beach
and an incident associated with the
scene. The memory came so suddeuly
and the connecting link was sought
for stt immediately that, a dropping out
of a segment of consciousness is al
together improbable, yet be lelf. that
there was a connection somewhere, if
it could but bo found. And it was
found after a little thought. Where
tlie brine on I he pickles had dried,
there were left flue, white salt crys
tals jilst as he had seen on kelp and
sea mosses that he had gathered on
that beach. The memory in the
stream of consciousness was spontan
eons, and yet we see how it may come
under our law, at least in its physio
logical version. — From the Mental
Mon.
Great Soldier’s Quick Thought.
Once during the iron Duke’s cam
paign in the Pyrenees, it happened
that (ien. Picton’s dispositions for re
ceiving the assault of Marshal Soult
displeased hint. The danger threat
ened from in from, and the difficulty
lay in delaying file attack until Wel
lington could e.y >. t the change he
wished. !1» war, as usual, equal to
(he occasion. Wa '’g his hat in the
ait, he galloped to Ihe Jiout ul a regi
mem as n ne meant to order a charge.
The whole of PIcton's line cheered tre
mendously, and a the roar died away,
Wellington was heard to remark, half
to himself: “Souit is a cautious com
mander, and will not attack in force
without ascertaining the meaning or
these cheers. That will leave time
for the Sixth division to come up, and
we shall beat him." This was exactly
what happened, and Souit sustained u
bloody repulse where he might have
won an easy vicc..»y.
No Good for Charity.
A clergyman strolled into a gro
eery store kept by an enterprising
German.
"My good man," said the pastor,
“can you give me anything in the line
of groceries as a contribution to the
Woman’s Missionary society? You see,
we have done good work among the
poor people of this section, and, as
there are still many hungry mouths
to feed, I wish you would try and help
us out."
The big Teuton studied a moment
and replied: "Veil, I tell you, dot i
know iss sombting gut; but, you see
de only tings vot I sell here iss guar
anteed goods, so dey wut be no gut
vor charity. ’
The minister went out the door
alter recovering from the shock, and
perhaps is still wondering \\Uy guar
anteed goods are not to be dispensed
