Clarence Boardway takes tho position in the railway office resigned by Mr. Preussner. Clarence is a goxl boy and quite familiar with the duties of the office, having performed them for a year or more when the road first started. In securing the services of two such trusty young men the Bank and the llailway Co. are entitled to con gratulations. —Don't kill the birds. It is cruel and demoralizing as well as a criminal offense. Section 25G1 of tho supplement of the Code makes it unlawful to destroy the nests or eggs, or kill any bird, except blue jays and English sparrows. For a violation of this section a fine of not less than one dollar nor more than twenty-five dollars shall bo imposed, and the offender may be sent to jail until such fino and costs are paid. We do not want to advise a resort to harsh measures, but unless the practice of shooting harmless birds can bo stopped in some other way the authorities should prosocute without delay one or more offenders to tho full extent of the law. Such prosecutions would bo object les sons which would savo tho birds, and at tho same time teach the boys with their small rifles a regard for tho laws of kindness and of their state which it will bo well for them to learn before they grow older. liaB come and gone. No one who heard Prof, llolden or his assistants can doubt that the instructions he is giving will materially benefit the corn growers of Iowa, and all con cerned.

His subject is, "Tho Wonders of the West," being a steropticon lecture on the great wonders of the western states. Those who liavo seen and heard Mr. Brandonberger say that he has the best steriopticon lecture they have ever heard. Why should it not bo the^beslV He has the best subject. Somo people cross seas to behold tho beauty of the foreign world, having never soen tho won ders of our own land, which in fact is the most wonderful land in the world. Our lecturer has been in the principal cities of the west, and always in the chief churches, or opera houses of the cities, and there have come from the pastors of these churchoi such letters of commenda tion to the pastor of tho Methodist church hero that he feels sure that tho people have a rare chance to hear a wonderful lecture for a small charge.

She had an offor of a position in the public schools of her home town at §10 per month more than sho was re ceiving hero in Manchester, and our schonl board, although reluctant to part with her services, felt that I hey should nut stand in the way of her bettering her position. Miss Cot ter has mado many friends in Man chester during tiie three or more years she has taught in this place. Mrs. Allie Stearns will complete Miss Cotter's term as teacher of the 'itli grade. The reason for having a spring vacation this year of but one week is due to the fact that the school board wants to close the schools at the earliest date possible, and by so doing secure more timo in which to make tho proposed changes in tho Central School Building.

Anna Lion and Emma Kiefer, 1. g. Willa Richardson and r. g. Mazie Pentony. In this game the score for the first half was 9 to 0 and tho second half 13 to 2 in favor of Independence. This was a little better on our girls side than the gamo played at Independence. The score at Independence was 18 to 1. The boys game was a close ono and both sides played hard which which mado the gamo interesting and exciting, the score in the first half was 10 to 10 and in tho second half was 23 to 22 in favor of Man chester.

For the week ending April 10, '05 Following a winter of extreme se verity, March was phenomenally warm except a few days in the ec ond decade. The soil thawed and the surface dried off rapidly, and the conditions were favorable for plowing, seeding and preparatory farm operations a week earlier than usual, and two weeks earlier than last year. The bulk of the spring wheat area was seeded prior to the 2nd, of April, and reports indicate that the acreage of this crop is less than last year. Fall wheat, rye and clover wintered well and are prom ising. Tho week ending April 10th brought cooler weather but the average was normal. With some delay on account of wet weather and freezing, very good progress has been made in completing the seed ing of oats and barley, and prepar ing ground for tho corn crop. Much more than the usual amouut of plowing was done in the late fall and early spring, and with normal conditions in the futuro a very large aroa will be in readiness for corn planting before May 1. Good progress has been' made in planting early potatoes and garden truok. Grass started unusually early and the pastures are already inviting the grazing herds. The early sown grain fields show prom ising germination. Fruit buds have thus far escaped injury by freezing and the condition of the staple var ices of fruit is satisfactory. All kinds of farm stock are reported in good health. Cornelias T. Pest. Cornelius T. Poot, one of the ear liest and most highly respected citizens of this county, died at his home in Honey Creek township last Friday evening. Mr. Peet was born in Cattaragus county, N. Y., December 4, 1822, and reared to farming and hotel life. His education was received at tho common Bchool of his district. Ho studied law and was admitted to the bar after coming to Iowa and had a lucrative practice in his chosen profession which he carried on in conjunction with his farmiug. In July, 1842, he was married to Miss Mary BoggB, who died in January 1809 at the age of 47 yeurs. To this union were born seven children: James Robert L., Peter F., Martha E. Jerry 0, Harry and John. Mr. Peet came to this county in 1844 and settled iii Honey Creek townBhip, which place has over since been his homo. In April 1870 Mr. Peet took for liiB second wife, Miss Hester A. Winsor, to whom one child, Leslie M. Peet, was born. Mr. Peet was a genial, public spirited citizen. He served for some time during the civil war as a member of Company E., Forty fourth Iowa infantry. He was for two terms (tho thirteenth and four teenth general assemblies) repre Easter sentative of this county in I lie state legislature and also held minor ofliees in his township and county. In his death this county loses 0110 of iis best citizens and the family a kind and indulgent husband and father.

Henry Lampman died at his homo in tho First ward of this city, Thurs day morning, March iiOth, of cancer of tho stomach. The deceased had been in ill health l'orsoino time, and had been very low for a couplo of weeks prior to his demise. Dr. But ler, the attending physician, and Drs. Ilousmanau.l Sawyer performed an autopsy yesterday morning find ing pretty conclusive evidence of cancer, which had eaten a holo about one and one-lia inches in diameter through tho walls of tho stomach. The funeral was held yesterday aft ernoon. Services wero held at W. Lampman, of Manchester, Iowa J. E. Lampman, of Knox villo, Iowa and C. G. Lampman, of Vinton, Iowa Mr. Lampman was an exemplary citizen and an up right man, and many friends sym pathize with his bereaved family in their loss of an affectionate and de voted husband and father. The School Board Meeting. On Monday evening the members of tho school board of the Indepen dent District of Manchester held a meeting at the office of the secre tary, E. B. Stiles, all of the mem bers being present. The newly elected president, Joseph Hutchin son, announced at the opening of the meeting tho following commit tees for tho ensuing year: Itules and regulations—IlutchlnBon, Jones, liabenau. Auditing and finance—JoDee, Hut chinson, Richardson. Truancy and complaints—Richard son, Smith, Jones. Examinations and graduation Smith, Jones, liabenau. High School ltlehardson, Jones, Hsbenau. Contral School—Hutchinson, Jones, liabenau. North Manchester School—Jones, Smith, Richardson. West Side School—liabenau, Smith, Richardson. C. sr*de—Smith, Hutchinson, JODSB. Music—liabenau, Jones, Richardson. Tho board then, by unanimous vote, re-elected as superintendent of the city schools Miss Amy Boggs, who has served in that capacity so capably during the past year. Miss Boggs' salary was increased to $1,200 per year. This action is sure to meet with the approval of tho pupils and patroils of the schools and our people generally. Miss Boggs is in the very front rank of Iowa instructors. As a Manchester business man in close touch with the schools said to us, "A man with the ability of Miss Boggs would command $ 2,000 a year." Tho board counts itself for tunate in being ablo to retain the sen-ices of so capable a superinten dent. Tho matter of the contem plated additions to tho Central building was determined that the Contral school committee, desig nated abovo, shall act as the build ing committee as well.

Ho advised ev ery one who had not enough seed corn of their own, to secure what they needed from their neighbors, if possible, and, in any event, insist upon corn raised in the part of the country where it was to be planted. Our Agricultural College at Ames is endearing itself to the peoplo by the practical work being done by Prof. Holden's seed corn special. And the railways of tho state are also entitled to great credit for hauling the Professor's special train free of expense. Without their generous assistance tho'enterprise could never have been undertaken. Its expense would have precluded all possibility of its adoption. Anyone who wishes can secure a seed corn bulletin, free of expense, by writing for it to the Agricultural College at Ames. A Spray Calendar. A large part of the yearly fruit crop is destroyed by bugs or fungus diseases. The apple worm or cod ling moth injures tho fruit, and others feed on the foliage of the various plants thus preventing the plant from properly carrying on its work. In tho growing of many crops, tho grower's skill is more exercised in tho combatting of these enemies than in the cultivation of tho crop, To aid the farmer apd fruit grower in this work, the Iowa Experi ment Station has just issued a Spray Calendar which tells just what to use for these troubles, how to pre pare it and when to apply. These directions are simple yet effective, and any grower can follow them with profit. We understand that this spray calendar may be obtained free, upon application, and we would advise those of our readers who are interested, to writo the director, C. F. Curtiss, Ames.
