AdvntitnKC.
The plans for the new High school bulM-
Ing to be erected on the Oakland avenue
site , no-w approaching completion by the
school board's architects , Messrs. Cox K I
Schoentgen , show that the structure will I
bo both n handsome nnd Imposing edifice ,
In order that the front of the building may
be seen from the heart of the city It will
face on Ross street , standing ba k * omc
distance from the street and approached by
a wldo nnd handsome sot of stepo. The
building will bo 152 feet wide nnd 106 feet
deep , the height from the grade to the cornice
being forty-five nnd one-half feet. Archi
tecturally the style will bo severely classic
and the outside , whllo presenting a hand
some appearance , will bo devoid of any or
namentation that would Increase the cost
of construction. The plainness of the ex
terior of the front of the building , however ,
will bo relieved and set off with a hand
some and ornate porch entrance of stone.
The outer walls of the structure will be
built of buff pressed brick with stone trim
mings. The windows will bo ample and ot
a design that will add greatly to the ap
pearance of the front. The building will
be three stories high with a sub-basement.
The largo entrance leads directly to the
first floor. On either side of thu entrance
are broad stairways leading to the main
floor and tlvso glvo the entrance or vcstl-
bulo a decidedly Imposing appearance.
On the first floor will bo the drill hall
for the cadets , which Is 55xCS feet , four class
rooms each 25.6x32.6 to accommodate flfly
pupils each. On this floor will be the lava-
lories and a room for the use of the Janitor.
On the main floor IB the auditorium , the
same size as the drill hall , rising clear to
the roof through the third story and capable
of esatlng 500 people. At the east end will
bo n stage. The auditorium will bo lighted
by a double row of windows on the north
side. Running round the auditorium Is a
wldo corridor , from which the class rooms
open. The class rooms , of which there will
be seven on this floor , are ranged along the
east , south and west sides of the building.
They will each bo 25.8x32.0 and will each
accommodate fifty pupils. In addition to tha
seven clans rooms there will be one recita
tion room on this floor , 23x25,6 , capable of
seating thirty pupils. At the right of the
head of the main stairway will be the prin
cipal's room.
On the third floor will bo six recitation
rooms , each 23x25.6 , and four laboratories
for the science department , with one demon
stration room 'between. The hallway on this
floor forms a gallery on three sides looking
down Into the auditorium. The laboratories
will each bo provided with fire-proof vaults
for the storage of chemicals.
In the sub-basement the steam boating
plant will bo located , also the coal room.
Tie 'building will be ventilated by a fan
system.
Whether the building will be lighted with
gaa or electricity or both the board has not
yet decided , but the plans at present pro
vide for gas In every part. In addition to
the main stairway there are two other stair
ways nt the east and west ends of the buildIng -
Ing running clear to the third story.
According to the plans the building will
cost In the neighborhood of $05,000 without
any of the interior furnishings.

County Auditor R. V. Innes has a baby
on his hands that ho Is anxious to get rid
of and anybody desiring to adopt a pretty ,
bluo-eyed l-ycnr-old boy can do so by ap
plying to him at the county court house.
The custody of the baby vas none of
Mr. Innes' seeking , but the responsibility of
caring for It was thrust upon him owing
to his holding the position of county au
ditor. The baby boy In question Is the- child
of Mrs. Bertha Ntesen , the unfortunate
young woman from MInden who was com
mitted to the Insane asylum nt Clarlnda
last June. Mrs. Nlsscn's relatives are un
able to care for the little one and for a
whllo It was taken In at the Christian Homo.
Manager Lenien objected , however , to care
further for the chlfd , ns owing to the
mother's Insanity ho could not get n legal
surrender from her of 'tho ' babe. The child
was turned over to Auditor Innes by Man
ager Lemen yesterday morning. Auditor In
nes Is a bachelor and the care ot a 1-year-old
baby was naturally most embarrassing to
him. Ho carried It around in his arms to
all the other county ofllcers , tout they all
had children of their own and none of them
offered to tnko It off his hands. The child
began to cry at its strange surroundings
and nothing seemed to appease it. Finally
Deputy Auditor Fredericks wont out nnd
purchased a feeding bottle and some milk
nnd this kept the llttfe fellow employed for
a tlmo. Finding nobody wished 1o take the
child off his hands Auditor Innes summoned
a hack and took the little fellow to St. Ber
nard's hospital , where the sisters will take
charge of It for the tlmo being.

TUBERCULOSIS AMONG COWJ
Sltnntloii no AlnrinltiK nt Tort Doilni

Taken Cliurnc.
FORT DODGE , In. , Aug. 3. ( Special.- )
As a result ot the tuberculin tests whtcl
have been made on the dairy herds supply
ing milk In this city , the city council ha
tnkou vigorous notion toward protecting tbj
citizens from danger of contracting the dls
case from tubercular cattle. Thus far 13
cows have been examined. Of these twenty
one , or a little over 16 per cent , have bcci
condemned. If the same proportion shouli
hold good throughout the other herds , sev
onty-flvo cows would bo found to bo stif
ferlng with tuberculosis. Accordingly , thi
members of the city council deemed it ti
bo their duty to take action on the matter
At their meeting last evening It was do
elded that an ordinance should bo passc <
providing that no milk should bo sold Ii
tbo city from cattle that had not beei
tested and found free from tuberculosis
At the same tlmo all milk venders shall bi
licensed , the requirements for license boln ;
that all cows In the herd from which mill
Is supplied , shall bo tested and found frc <
from tuberculosis. Prior to the passing o
this resolution two of the dairymen of th <
city had served notice on State Vctcrlnnrlar
Gibson , charging him to comply with al
of the requirements of the law before pro-
ceedlng to test their herds and holding hln
personally responsible for any loss thai
might bo entailed through the test.
Their claim was that the city councl
had no Jurisdiction over their herds whlct
nro not within the city limits. Thesi
dairymen arc now placed In a very embar
rnsslng position , as they will have to nsV
to have their herds tested , or go wlthou
a license , or go out of business.

The water was very deep nnd for a tlmo it

AMES , la. , Aug. 3. ( Special. ) The Iowa
State college opened Tuesday most auspi
ciously. The classification offices were
crowded from morning till evening , nearly
all being new students. All dormitories
nro filled , nnd about seventy-five students
will have to bo accommodated outside the
college grounds. All boarding houses
around the outskirts of the campus arc full ,
and many are having to come down town ,
It Is very desirable that more boarding
houses shall be built 1n close proximity to
the college grounds , and good money can
be made on such an Investment. The col
lege authorities are desirous th t such meas
ures shall bo taken to provldn students'
board , and Inilldlng sites can b obtained
at reasonable rates within convenient dis
tance. The attendance this year will cer
tainly exceed 100 'more than previous years ,
and at the present rate of Increase accom
modations -will bo needed for probably 200
outside In n year or two more. All depart
ments are In n most flourishing condition
anad the work should not be hampered by
Jack of means or facilities. The reduction
In Interest rates has cut short the Income
about $12,000 per annum , which reduces
the fund used for paying Instructors just
so much.

INOAM.S' KHIM.Y TO A IIOAST.
Former Senator Wrltex of an KnlNOile
In the CaiiipalKii of 1S7U.
A recent Issue of a Kansas newspaper
contained a severe arraignment of ex-Sen
ator John J. Ingalls , which Mr. IngaHi an
swers as follows :
"By subtle association of Ideas I , m 10-
mlnded of the senatorial election of lf9
perhaps the most sensational eplso.lo of Kan
sas politics. It was the morning of the last
day. I was alone In my Headquarters ol
the Tefft house , a. foul , squalid , filthy krn-
nol , which was the prldo nnd boast of Topeka -
peka twenty years ago. The soft cjal fires
smoked rind smoldered and stunk ' .n the rusty
stoves. The icarpets were covered with dry
mud from the streets. I had besn up oil
night. The weather was bitterly black , bleak
and cold. My friends and supporters hat ]
all gone to the state house for the final fray ,
whose Issue was uncertain , and I was sit
ting like Marlus amid the ruins of Car
thage.
"It was within ten minutes of the hour of
meeting for the Joint convention , when ono
of the members of the legislature came * Into
my room. Ho had hern my friend during
the canvass ; had attended all my caucusses
and voted for mo at the previous session.
He was ono of my original supporters , with
out money and without price. He seemed
uneasy and ( lustrated. I asked him why
ho was not at the capital , where ono vote
might decide my fate :
"He closed the doort and said , with much
stumbling and blundering speech , that ho
had recently bought some type and a press
and was short ? 700J The draft , he said , was
In bank , and he'had , to have the money be
fore ho went to the state house. I sug
gested that the banks did not close until
3 o'clock , but ho replied that the Horton
managers had promised to let him have the
cash at 10 o'clock , and ho wanted to bo
able to tell them he did not need It ! Ho
added that ho should regret to be placed un
der such obligations by my enemies !
"Queer situation , wasn't It ? Odd that he
should have selected Just that particular mo
ment for his Intimation ? But It was an
emergency. There was no tlmo for delibera
tion. I had to think quick. The roll call
would begin In fifteen minutes at the far
thest. The margin was dosparately narrow ,
and the result of immeasureablo cense
quence. You remember Stockton's story of
'Tho Lady and the Tiger ? ' Do you suppose
the editor got his $700 loan from mo or from
the other fellows ? Do you suppose he voted
tor mo or for Horton ? Do you suppose ho
had really bought new type and a press ?
What would you have done if you had been
In my place ? What could have made mo
think of this droll Incident in connection
with , this rasping editorial ? "

"I've seen a good deal of the west , " re
marked the Phlladelphlan to the Chit-ago
News , "and I have always found everything
pretty nearly right except In the case of
Justice. I've had three or four whirls at that
nnd always been downed , but my last cose
was the funniest of all. I was stopping for
a few days at a village tavern. There woe a
patent right man there as well , and on the
first day of my arrival ho Informed mo that
lie was .a somnambulist. An the nights were
hot and our windows opened on the same
veranda he said ho needn't be surprised to
wake up and find him in my room. I had
little to say , but I made up my mind that
If I caught him prowling I'd give him a sur
prise party. Ho didn't show up the first
night , but nt midnight of the adcond I heard
him moving and got ready for him , The
room was only fairly dark , but I fixed the
pillows as a dummy and hid myself behind
a chair. The follow stood at the window
for a moment to listen and then entered ,
and so carefully did ho move that ho was
five minutes In reaching for the bed. Ho was
sneaking out with my watch In his hand
when I rose up and swung my right on him

week. Before ho had recovered his senses
I had the landlord up and later on the con-
Mablo had the fellow to the lock-up. His case
came up next day and , quecrly enougn , bo
made H hot for mo. Ho proved that ha had
told mo he waa a sleep-walker and that ho
might enter my room. No somnambulist ,
ho continued , was responsible for his actions
when asleep. Ho had taken the watch , but
It was only by accident that ho had not
lugged off a chair Instead. It was my duty ,
knowing what ho was , to have accosted him
Instead of smashing his Jaw nnd If there
was any Injured party hn was thn onn.
"Would you bcllove , " rontlnued the

Justice of the pcaco swallowed that yarn
and discharged the prisoner. Ho did for a
fact , 'and then what did the patent man debut
but turn around and have mo arrested for
assault nnd battery ! Yes , sir , and as I had
to plead guilty to striking him I was lined
$10 and costs. Then ho was going to sue me
for damages and I bad to glvo up twenty-
live big dollars' to settle the matter. In brief ,
I WUH about MO out of pocket for protecting
myself from a robber , but It seemed to bo
the general opinion In tbo town that I was
leniently dealt with. I wanted to tell his

A recent discussion In Boston dally p.v
pcrs hns shown n curious difference of opln
Ion ns to the traditional tlmo for cfitliif
baked beans. There hns also arisen semi
question as to when was the first use of thi
concomitant brown bread. H Is thercfon
suggested , says the Boston Transcript , tha
the members of the Old South Histories
society supplement Saturday's pilgrimage t
Plymouth by making original research Intc
the subject of the food of the Pilgrims. Tc
this subject references will bo found scat
tered through the contemporary writings Ir
such a casual way that a profcslonaf scarohc
would hardly bo repaid for hunting for them
but the amateur , while on the lookout fo
these references , could hardly fall to Im
blbo sufficient Information from the orlglna
sources to compensate him for his tlmo am
labor.
H has been asserted that our brown breat
was Invented nt Boston about 160 years ago
but the writer conjectures that It orlglnatei
at Plymouth soon after the Pilgrims landei
nnd thnt baked beans wcro early adopted bj
them from the Indians. The adjective "Bosi
ton" Is now generally prefixed to the name
of each of these viands , but that either o
them originated In our city no moro follow ;
from this prefix than It does that Corlntr
grows the Zanto currants ; of these the verj
name , Indeed , Is taken from that of the city
but ( to repeat the ancient allusion ) Corlntl
never had a currant bush that bore sucl
currants.
Even before coming to Plymouth the
Pilgrims , In November , 1620 , found In sand
heaps on Capo Cod "divorce falro Indeati
bnskoto filled with come , nnd some It
cares , falro and good , of divorce collours
which seemed to them a very goodlly sigh
( having never seen any shuch before. " Am
soon after "ther was found moro of thel
conic , & of their beans of various col
lours , " ns Bradford relates In his history
This corn the Indians well knew how tc
make Into bread , for , In the first embassy
to Massosolt , made In the early summer o
1C21 , the Pilgrim deputies came to a body
of Indians who were fishing near the pres
ent Mlddleboro. "Thither wo camo" ( as Is
set out In the Relation published nt Lon
don In 1022) ) "about three a clock aftei
noon , the Inhabitants entertaining us will
joy In the best manner they could ; giving
a kind of bread , called by them malzlum , "
etc. ; yet corn was so comparatively scarce
with them at this time of the year tha
Massasolt himself could not satisfy the
hunger of his visitors , "but they found bu
short commons and came both weary am
hungrle home. For the Indians used ther
to have nothing so much corno as they have
since the English have stored them with
their hows" ( hoes ) "and seene their Indus
trie In breaking up now grounds therewith , '
so Bradford said.
H will be Interesting to ascertain ( as Is
very possibly not yet too late ) what was
the composition of this "malzlum" bread
whether It was like hoe-cako or analogous
to our brown broad. If the Indians had
anything proper to mix with the corn meal ,
In the way of other grain , they were all
fitted to make brown bread , since nothing
yet has been Invented to cook It In that
old-fashioned earth-
can compare with the -
ern beanpot , nnd these pots ( It seems ) the
Indians had : when "Massasowat was like
to die" ( relates Governor Wlnslow In his
"Good News from New England , " In tell
ing how ho went to succor the sick sachem )
"I caused a womiMi to bruise some cornc
and take the flour frcm It ; and we set the
grut or broken corne In a pltkln ; for they
have earthen pots of nil sizes. " Further
more , they know the best method to cook
such things as bread and beans , for no
oven. Dutch or other , hns yet been In
vented that can equal setting the pltklns
In a hole In the ground and building a fire
'them with the embers
over them , or covering '
bers of an expiring fire.
Whatever the Indians knew about cookIng -
Ing the pilgrims were In a way to learn
because ( as the Relation sets out ) "wo found
the Indians very faithful In their Covenant
ot Pcaco with us ; very loving and ready to
pleasure us. " Moreover , "Squanto con
tinued with them and was their Interpreter ,
sent ot God
and was a special instrument
for their good beyond their expectation. Ho
directed them how to set their corne , " etc. ,
as Bradford chronicles.
The Pilgrims , nt first and long after , were
hard pushed for food , ' so that they would
have been most ready to tnko advantage of
whatever aid they could get from Indian
methods ; as early as August , 1C20 , ono of
their managers wrote : "If our vlngo last
long , wo shall not have a month's victuals
when wo como to the countrle , " and this
prediction proved only too well founded. As
to their first harvest , "Some English seed
they sow. ns wheat and pease , but It came
not to good. " Bradford tells us ; regarding
their other grain , however , they had the ad-
vlco of Squanto ; therefore ( ns the Relation
says ) "Our corn did prove well nnd , God bo
praised ! wo had n good Increase of Indian
corn , and our barley Indifferent good. "
An "English Bread Book" of recent date ,
In recommending to the British our brown
to bo unknown
bread , which seems practically
known In England , says : "Persons accus
tomed , as the English people are , to live
habitually on wheaten bread only , do not
Immediately become reconciled to any
other. " But the Pilgrims , BO early ns De
cember , 1021. had learned to like malzo to
such a degree that Wlnslow , In his letter to
those coming over to the new colony , said :
"Our Indian corn , oven the coarsest , makoth
as pleasant meat ns rice. " To bo sure , the
colonists' delight with their new grain may
unvo been an exemplification of the old
I Vench proverb , "Lo appetlt et la falm no
Lrouvent Jamalw mauvals pain. " ( No bread
is bad to the hungry. )
The Pilgrims , however , through their long
sojourn In Holland , bad doubtless become
I'nbltuatcd to bread from rye and others of
[ ho coarser grains. When all other food
( and means to buy It ) failed the poorer BO-
[ ourners , says Bradford , "If they were known
to be of the congregation , the Dutch ( either
Linkers or others ) would trust them In
my reasonable matter , when they wanted
nonoy. " Whllo the black bread of the Dutch
nd Germans Is described , In a very recent
English technical work on bread , as "very
: oarso and unpalatable , " "a 1'estomac croux.
uicun pain n'est trop nolr. " Hungry as
ivcro the stomachs of the Pilgrims , the
nalzo , mixed with the barley brought over
> r from the first harvest , would have made a
jread far more palatable than was the rye
> read to which the Pilgrims had doubtltfis
jccomo accustomed In the low countries.
Dark-colored bread nnd freedom , as the
irovorbs of many countrien show , havu long
jcen Intimately connected and In like man-
icr as the Pilgrims extended the domain of
'reedom It Is quite probable that they early
nvented , or adopted , that new kind of dark
/read which wo now distinctively call
'brown. " This probability , as well as ths
'acts ' relating to the origin and use of
jakctl beans , Indian pudding , etc , It Is
toped will bo established by those with
; reator leisure and knowledge.

Why .lohn IturroiiKhx Moved from the
Sluhl of the Itlter.
Three * or four yenrs ago John Burroughn
got tired of the panoramic view of the Hud
son from his doorstep at West Park , ntul re-
treatc-d to a spot a mile Inland , whore ho
hns plnco lived , In great contentment , In n
humble , slab-sided cabin. So delightful Is
| his description of thin rustic homo tjmt
'every ' reader of the August Century will
feel like Invading his privacy and try to
got ns much pleasure from hU simple sur
roundings ns this veteran nnture-lovcr doco.
Friends hnvo often asked me why I turnes !
my 'bnck ' upon the Hudson ami retreated Into
the wilderness. Well , 1 do not call it n re
treat ; I call It n withdrawal , a retirement ,
the taking up of a new position to renew
the attack , It may bo , more vlgoreiusly than
ever. It Is not always easy to give reasons.
There are reasons within rensins. nnd often
no rcnsons nt nil that wo are nwaro of.
To n countryman like myself , not born to
n great river or an extensive water view ,
these things , I think , pall upon him nftor n
time. He gets surfeited with a beauty tiint
Is nllvo to him. He longs for something
more homely , private nnd secluded. Sroner >
may bo too fine or too grand and lmpcnlng
for one's dally nnd hourly view. H tiles
after a while. It demands a mood thnt comes
to you only nt Intervals. Hence It Is nexcr
wise to build your house on the most am
bitious spot In the Inndscnpe. Rather seek
out n more humble nnd ocluded nook or
corner which you call fill and warm with
your domestic and homo Instincts nnd affec
tions. In porno things the half Is often
more satisfying than the whole. A glltnpee
of the Hudson river between hills or
through openings In the treen wears better
with me thnn a long expanse of It con
stnntly spread out before me. Ono dny 1
had an errand to a farm bouse nestled In a
little valley or basin at the foot of a moun
tain. The enrth put out protecting nrniH all
nbout It a low hill with nil orchard on ono
side , a sloping pasture on another ; nnd the
mountain , with the skirts of Its mantling
forests , close nt hnnd on tne other. How
my heart warmed toward It ! 1 bad been
so long perched hlph upon the hanks of a
great river , in. eight ot all the world , ex
posed to every wind that blows , with a horizon
zen line thnt swept over half a county , that
quite unconsciously to mynelf 1 was pining
for a nook to sit duwn In , I wns hungry
for the private nnd the circumscribed ; I
knew It when I snw this sheltered farm
stead. I had long been rcstle-ss and ills-
satisfied a vnguo kind of homesickness ,
now 1 knew the remedy. Hence , when , not
long afterward , I wns offered a tract of
wild land , barely a mlle from home , thnt
contained a secluded nook nnd a few acres
of level , fertile land , shut oft from the valu
and 'noisy world of railroads , steamboats
and ynchts by a wooded , precipitous moun
tain , I quickly closed the bargain and built
mo a rustic house there , which I cnll "Slab-
sides , " becnuse Its outer walls nre covered
with slabs. I might have given It a pret
tier name , but not one more f or moro In
keeping with the mood thnt brought mo
thither. A slab Is the first cut from the
log , and the bark goes with It. It Is HUe
the first cut from the loaf , which wo cnll
the crust , and which the children reject , but
which we older ones often prefer. I wanted
to take a fresh cut of life something that
hnd the bark on , or , If you please , that was
like a well-browned and hardened crust.
After three years I am satisfied with the
experiment. Life has a different flavor
here. It is reduced to simpler terms ; its
complex equations all disappear. The exact
value of x may still puzzle us , but wo can
press It close ; wo have shorn It of many
of Us disguises and entanglements.

They had nn examination for drivers In
the rooms of the civil service board In the
criminal court building nnd among the ap
plicants was a fisherman. It was evident to
the examiners that the fisherman was not
practiced In reading and writing. Ho came
to the rooms with a list of answers which
he had been Instructed to write opposite the
printed questions on the blanks furnished to
him , says the New York Sun. For BX !
months , at least , he had practiced writing
these answers. The questions were all on
printed blanks and the person who hnd
coached the fisherman had written the
answers in the order of the questions on the
old iblanks. The civil service board got in
fjomo now blanks recently nnd the fisher-
mnn scrawled his nnswers In the order ho
had learned them In. The result produced
upon the first paper was as follows :

There was a tlmo when this "asBlstcd

when It has the opportunity , was u tender
slip and I'lkcly to perish of thirst. In 1711
lyjuls XIV was presented with a Hlnglo
coffee plant for his botanical garden by an
Amsterdam magistrate. It was nourished
enderly and In tlmo slips from It were went
o Martinique no doubt sub rosa to the

cultivation of coffee and guarded It jeal
ously lest It be cultivated on Islands not
mder their control On the way to Martln-
que the botanist In charge , the ship's ' sup
ply of water getting low , shared half hl own
dally allowance with the precious plants ,
Responding 1o hla Vlndnrsn , they wrro roon
