John Francis Hurst is one of the young pitchers of the university relied upon by the coach to give the rooters a comfortable feeling when they see him in the box. This year is his third as a 'varsity pitcher. In 1899 he played third baBe and also officiated in the box. He was probably in more games at third than in the bos. His control of the ball is more than ordinary and this year will find him much improved in speed. Hurst is a senior in the college of liberal arts and is one of the examples that the athletes of the university are among its best scholars. Although the university does not make known its marks it is known that Hurst is among the upper third in the senior class, as he was asked by the faculty to write an oration for commencement day.—Des Moines Daily Capital.

Iowa will be in the heart of the banana and orange belt within the pres ent century if the climate has been mod tied during the last thirty or forty years to the marvelous extent that some good people talk about. But it is more prob able that there has been a lapse in their memories than that tlie universe has slipped a cog and is shoving the paral lels of 40 to 48 X. Lat. down toward the tropics. Our Iowa farmers had better not trade their fur caps and overcoats for linen dusters and straw hats until they are certain the tropical conditions Satisfaction I have come to stay. "Lest we forget," It is wetl to refer to the fact that in Feb ruary 1899, the temperature fell to 40 degrees below Zero in northern Iowa, and the average temperature for the state in that month was 12 degrees above zero. The frost line wen,t down six feet into the soil in many p,laces during that extremly cold snap. 11 His Life Was Saved. .Mr. E.

Fisher who was indicted by the Clarke county grand jury for ob taining money under false pretenses and for perjury. The history of the transaction is as follows Fisher claimed he was injured by fall ing ofl a county bridge over White breast ereek southeast of Osceola. He brought suit against the county for ten thousand dollars, through his attorneys Jamison 4 Park. The county employ ed W. 8. Hedrick and Temple & Hard inger to assist the oounty attorney in its defense. The case'was moved to Wayne county but was never brought to trial. A pressure was brought upon the Board of Supervisors to settle the claim. There was a difierence among doctors as to how seriously Fisher was hurt. Dr. L. K. Douthett insisted that his injuries were of a most serious nature, while others contended they were but slight. The county sent for Dr. Schooler, an eminent physician of Des Moines, and paid him $50 to examine as to Fisher's condition. It is reported that Dr. Schooler pronounced his injuries slight, and expressed his opinion that the med icine that would work the surest and speediest cure would be an application of county funds. But the pressure upon the county board for payment of the claim by way of settlement went continually on. All the members of the board were repub licans. Jamison & Park, the attorneys for Fisher, were influential republicans and have always had much to say who should fill the county oflices. Dr Douthett was chairman of the republican county committee and his influence was counted important.. At the last session of the board in 1900 the matter was vigorously presented and payment oi the claim was urged. The attorneys for the county, Temple & Hardinger and Touet & Hedrick, all influential repub licans, some of them holding official pos itions, consented to the payment, al though the county had had no oppor tunity at that time to be heard in its de' fense of the claim. The board allowed the claimant $3,000, paying $1,000 down in cash and issuing warrants for the re' maining $2,000 payable in twelve and eighteen months. Temple & Hardinger were paid $150 and Hedrick was paid $100. The time warrants are said to have been immediately negotiated and IS IT LEGAL TO SELL THEM? Teachers Meeting at Grand River. Fisher left the county. He was cariied to the train on a stretcher, and whether the attorneys on both sides marched in procession wiih him is not known. Only a few days afterward Fisher was seen running nimbly in the streets of Des Moines trying to catch a street car. His case was investigated by the grand jury at the last term of court and the evidence produced led to his indictment and arrest upon the charges above stated. The inside history of the whole scheme may never be made public. Fisher alone* could not have worked it. lie must have had accomplices. Who they were and what shafe they received in the swag is unknown. It is believed Fisher could explain many things in connection with the transaction if he could be persuaded to divulge. The members of the board are said to be very sore at the imposition worked upon them, and an effort will be made to stop payment of the warrants given in partial 8ettjei»ent.—Osceola Democrat.

SyiA'I^. ALTA The PIERCV. There is a darkened home near Tus keego. For about two months little Sylvia Alta, daughter of Mr, and 5jrs. Chas. R. Piercy, had been sick. Last Saturday morning she had so far recov ered that she was able to go to the table for breakfast. Saturday evening she took a relapse and 6unday evening Feb. 24, the little spirit returned to God who gave it. All that parental lore and med ical skill could do was done, but con? gestion of the lungs bad set in and she was beyond human aid. Funeral ser= vices were held in the Baptist church in Tuslceego conducted by Rev- J. J5- Beard, former pastor. Kind friends were pres* ent with loving sympathy, flowers and songs and followed the remains to the last resting place in Lilly cemetery. Alta was born Aug. 20,1898, and was 2 years and 6 months old.
