BEMIS SIREN HERALDS COMING Market Town, s Yet M With the band playing “We're Here Be- cause We're Here,” to the accompaniment of the big siren whistle, the long train of tred, but happy boosters pulled into Omaha at 7:20 yesterday evening The train had been given a clear track trom Fort Dodge, leaving there at § o'clock In the morning, and the boosters visited some twenty towns between there and home. They were given the usual hearty welcome which has been accorded them at every point along the 1,00 miles which they have covered in the week. The entire populations of ail the towns along the route trom Fort Dodge to Omaha turned out to bid the people from the Market Town welcome and the train stop- ped from five to twenty minutes at each place. At Manning and Harlan the Oma- hans were met with automobiles and oscorted over the town and shown all the sights in a royal manner. An attempt was made several times dur- ing the trip to get a moving plcture of the train pulling in at a station and the crowd alighting from it and mingling Wwith the crowd, which waited to weclome them. At Minden the moving picture man was placed upon a high tressie over the track and the train backed out of the city down the track that it had just come in on. It then came puffing into the station and the crowd mingled with the throng on the plat- form while the picture machine did ite duty. The engineer, however, scemed to have gotten his dates mixed and when the order was given to pull out he started at such & terrific rate that the boosters ex- perienced some diffleulty in going with it. The picture machipe was still doing its duty bravely and got it all. Will Celebrate the Trip. The excursionists are planning a dinner 0 be held at the Commercial club in cele- bration of the trip as soon as the tourists feel able to stand it and the moving pic- tures are ready to show. One marked feature of the trip was the excellent handling by the raliroads. Every- thing was sideiracked to allow the trade excursion to pass ana at no time during the entire trip was there any delay Every one of the 100 men who went came home little the worse for the wear. There was not the shightest accident, and if anyope has any objection to the treat- to him at any place has not reported it. Secrelary J. M. Guild said last night that he thought this was the largest affair of its kind ever attempted by any city and met with remarkable success at every turn. Al worked together like clock work and have given Omaha the big boost they started out to do in grand style, Gilllat was the last stop made and the people there seemed to realize the party was pretty well worn out and glad 1t was nearing home, so when the boosters were marching back to the station after thelr tour around the town the band played { “Home, Sweet Home,” with a very marked effect. It was with a fecling of greatest grati- fication that the boosters heard the great Bemis siren as they started across the bridge and when Union siation was reached each man grabbed his little go-away sack &nd made for the triends who were there in great numbers to meet them. [NEW FIRE AND ROLICE BOARD Will Be Confromted at Once by the Problem of Adjusting the Salaries. Adjustment of men employed in the fire and police ‘departments will be put up ‘to the new Board of Fire and Police Commis- sioners which takes office Monday. The old board has worked on the question for weeks in vain. City Attorney Burnam has advised the board that walvers of the Increased pay accorded by the new charter might not be legal. A member of either force signing the walver could later in the year go into court and by setting up the claim that he was forced to sign the waiver under com- | pulsion might secure judgment agalnst | the city for the increased pay. The city attorney belleves that the best thing that could be done would be to ask the men to sign @ contract to work for a certain amount for the year. A contract would hold while there {s a possibility that the courts might hold the signing of a waiver is the same as signing away wages, and therefore knock out the whole proceedin, Members of both forces say they will | stand by a walver or anything else they might sign, but ‘the board members say they cannot be top careful and must guard against any misconstruction later in the year.

He spent forty-nine years of his life in growing up and rearing a family and only after he had a grand- child did he begin his college course. He entered the achool of journalism last Febru- ary with a determination to get the edu- cation neglected in his youth. Mr. Cogke Is the father of five children and the husband of his second wife, but he takes as keen interest in his school work at “Old Missouri” as does his daughter, @ student in the far off Mills college, California. 8he often writes her father Jollying him about the approach of his final examinations and guying him about mak- ing better grades than she. Two years ago Mr. Cooke was editing and managing the Tribune, a weekly news- paper in Healdsburg, S8anoma county, Cali- to fornia. He was successful in his business and happy in his home. From his youth, | however, he felt the need of school train- ing. He read in the Nutional Printer Journ- alist something about the establishment of a school of journulism. When months later he read more about the work of the school his thirst for knowledge became acute. He sold his newspaper and moved half way across the continent to Columbla to begin a four year's course. Mr, Cooke was born in a Callfornia min- ing damp in 1860, DEFECTIVE EYBSIGHT. Case of School Boy Who Was a Chronic Bad Speller, In an article in McClure's Magazine on “The Conservation of the Defective Child* Marion Hamliton Carter says: “On a certain afterncon in March, 159, Miss Margaret T. Maguire, a grade school teacher in the Philadelphia public schools, went to the psychological laboratory of the University of Pennsylvania accompanied by & lad ¢f 14, a well mannered, intelligent 1ad, Industrious in his school work; one of her favorite pupils, in fact. Yet this lad was the 'bogy’ of the teachers who for seven years had him In their classes; he was a chronic bad speller. This does not mean that he misspelled some words some- times. He misspelled, every word always, and did it in the same careful and serious manner with which he recited the history lesson he loved. His reading was as bad as his speiling; he was absolutely incapa- ble of getting through a single sentence correctly, &, an, and, the and a few three- letter words being the net result of his seven years' schooling. “Dr. Witmer, the head of the laboratory, made a long examipation, the result of which was the discovery that Charles Gil- man had an ocular defect never, in all 80 muich as suspected by elther his parents or his teachers: at the distance of about three feet the boy saw everything | : ‘he lacked the power to direct the | o8 co-ordinately upon the same point in mpace, the left eye looking a little higher | than the right’ A page of ordinary print was thus a blur; whenever he attempted to write, the words doubled under his pen. He was fitted with glasses and later operated upon; then for the first time in his life the printed page and the words he was tracing with his pen were clear." GRINNELL COLLEGE.
