THE FIRST WARD SCHOOL
The writer had the privilege of visiting this school Wednesday in company
with Prof. E.N. Coleman. The building is the new one built last summer and
contains four very neat and attractive school rooms. Everything about the
building from the slate black boards down to the rubber pointed pointers,
are of the latest and most approved styles. Paddy Comisky attends to the
janitor work of the building and does his work well. The rooms are all
heated by hot water pipes, the furnace and heater for which are placed in
the well finished basement.
The room of Miss Emma Kehrburg was first visited. She has an enrollment of
forty-nine little folks, who are kept busy from morning until night and are
never allowed to tire. The little people appear to be making very rapid
progress.
The next room on the ground floor is taught by Miss Louden who was engaged
in listening to an exercise in grammar. In this room as well as the others
the pupils appeared to be interested in their studies and to be at work.
On the upper floor are Misses Powers and Smith both excellent teachers and
doing fine work.
The people who have children to attend the Franklin street school may well
feel proud of the school building, of the teachers and of the children. Few
cities have any better conducted building or school throughout. It is a
great pleasure to Prof. Coleman as well as the teachers to have parents and
patrons visit the schools and see for themselves what is being done. It is
as well the duty of such parents and patrons, which is too often neglected.

charge preferred by his wife, of brutal assault in which he had chocked and
mistreated her. He was fined $11.75 and held in the sum of $500 bonds, to

A NARROW ESCAPE
A narrow escape from a fatal passenger train collision, happened at Oyens
last night. Train No. 4, west, usually meets the corn palace excursion
train here at 7:35 p.m., but in this instance they were permitted to run to
Oyens. It was thought they would be sidetracked there before No. 4 would
arrive. Conductor on No. 4 had no orders to wait and had started out of
Oyens, when the train men saw the head light of the excursion train in time
to reverse and back down.
Passengers and train men felt shaky when they realized how close a call they
had met with.
RUNAWAY.
Father J. P. Barron, of St. James church was driving on Fifth street
yesterday morning and leading a horse, which he was going to have shod,
behind his buggy. When near Hammond's barn the horse which was being led,
became frightened at something and jumped into the wheel of the carriage.
The buggy was upset and one horse went north with the buggy and the other
ran west. The priest was unhurt, having slid out on his feet. The horse
attached to the buggy was somewhat bruised when caught and the buggy was in
good condition for the repair shop.

The circumstances connected with the death of Mrs. Hoefler are rather sad.
She is a sister of Father Meis, of St. Joseph's church and came from Halbur
in Carroll county to witness the dedication services at that church a few
days ago. Owing to the presence of several other guests at Father Meis home

REMSEN: (From the Bell)
Mr. Peter Brucher is gone to Chicago and it is said that he will come home
accompanied by a better half.
Miss May Mandersheid, a sister of Mrs. N.B. Miller, left Remsen for her home
in Jackson county last Wednesday.
Miss Kate Kriege, of St. Louis, was for some weeks past the guest of her
brother, Squire Fred Kriege, of Meadow township.
Married at the Catholic church in Remsen by the Rev. Father Erdman Tuesday,
October 27, Mr. Joseph Wictor and Miss Lizzie Homan.
It is generally conceded that C.W. Leekly will be elected supervisor of the
third district and it is right that he be. He is a man of spotless
character, a good farmer and able financier. Give him your vote.
On Wednesday of this week, early in the forenoon, a farmer brought what
appeared to be a load of nice wheat to the Remsen market. When Tony Arens,
the buyer, had dumped a part of the grain, he discovered that the wagon box
was half filled with damp sand. Of course the dump was raised and Tony
started for the officer to have the sneak thief arrested. The fellow began
to beg and cry and swear that this was his first offense and that he be
allowed to go unmolested. It is wrong to let such fellows escape unpunished,
and wrong not to hold them up to the public.
KINGSLEY: (Special Correspondence)
J.S. Ellis went to Sioux City Tuesday.
A ten cent show consisting of a couple of moose attracted considerable

Rev. M. T. Ranier is at home again with his family. They expect to move to

Mr. Memmor has moved into town again.
Rev. Yerger conducted quarterly meeting in the Twogood school house last

Little Edna Cornish who has been dangerously ill is now considered out of

Mr. E.D. Chassell candidate for representative was in town one day recently
shaking hands with his many friends in the corner of the county.
Mr. Moore, the mail bag slinger at the depot, is in Marshalltown this week.
S.A. Tennant, of Des Moines, is looking after the interest of his hardware
store this week.
The new M.E. parsonage is up and enclosed. A full force of hands are at work
endeavoring to complete it before cold weather sets in.
Mr. and Mrs. Andy Hart now occupy Mr. Rices' house recently vacated by Mrs.
McGee and family.
Wm. Cunningham is again in the clutches of the law. After many vain efforts
for freedom and a night in the Kingsley bastile, he accompanied Sheriff
Boyle to LeMars. Verily the way of the transgressor is hard.
The basket social at Dr. Mason's passed off very pleasantly and all seemed
to enjoy themselves to the fullest extent.
Rev. J. J. Nichols is in Ames this week attending conference. His friends
hope he will be returned to this charge.
We have another dry goods store in town. S. Seigel, of Des Moines, has put a
stock in the Steven's building just south of the jewelry store.
A drove of ponies was sold at auction Saturday in town. They went very
cheap. The yearly inflow of western horses is what causes the prices of our
native horses to be so low.
Saturday was a very busy day in town. The streets were lined with teams and
the sidewalks were crowded with people. Merchants were rushed with customers
and everybody was busy.
A team belonging to Mr. Henry Bower ran away Tuesday throwing Mrs. Bower and
child out and smashing things up generally. No one was hurt.
Miss Tillie Gosting, who has been working in the insane asylum at
Independence is at home. She has secured a position in the asylum at
Yankton, S.D., where she will go in a few days.
Only a few more days and the citizens of Iowa will be called upon to decide
by ballot some of the most important questions every before for the public
for consideration. It will be decided whether or not this fair state is to
be ruled by the party of right and honor, the party that has always stood
fairly and squarely upon the platform of integrity and the best interests of
the home and state.
Voters of Plymouth county think of it. Shall our great state which boasts of
a less percent of illiteracy than any other state in the Union, a state with
a school house within reach of every boy and girl and a church in nearly
every township? Shall it be given over to the saloon and the element whose
only words are a wail of woe and distress and the burden of whose song is
the sorrows and suffering of the poor down trodden farmer? Other questions
of national importance are at stake as the result this year will have a
strong bearing upon the presidential election next year. It is therefore
important that a favorable result be obtained this year.
While the state election is very important, do not forget that we have a
county ticket in the field composed of good strong Republicans every one of
whom, from representative to coroner are men who are in every way worthy of
the suffrage of the public. The Republican party is in the minority in this
county yet by hard work and every many being at the polls, success is not to
be despaired of. Go early and stay all day and not vote right yourself, but
see that your neighborhood does the same, and see if your wavering friend
cannot be induced to vote the straight Republican ticket without any
scratching. A great deal is at stake not only to the state but to every
individual property owner in the state. It is therefore only reasonable that
all should carefully consider the matter and vote accordingly.
BACK TO LE MARS.
One of our former popular merchants, Mr. John Macaulay, will return to
LeMars next Monday to stay. He will take a position as head clerk in the
grocery store of M.A. Carpenter where he will always be found ready to meet
his old friends. Mr. Carpenter finds that there is too much business to
handle with his present help and therefore gets Mr. Macauley in addition to
the present help.
