Reception For Judge 8herwin on Bis Return From Des Koines
—His Speech.
Identification of the Victims of the Accident at Dakota City—
Iowa News.
Special to Times-Republican. Mason City, Aug. 5.—The reception
tendered Judge Sherwln on his arrival from Des Moines Thursday night was one of the most enthusiastic affairs ever given In Mason City.
The reception was held on the lawn of the Sherwin home on Seventh street. The grounds and house were elaborately decorated, electric lights being hung over the lawn during the afternoon. The whole town turned out to meet the judge and party at the train, which arrived about 9 o'clock In the evening. The party was taken to the Sherwln home, where Mayor Brett, on behalf of the city, Introduced Rev. DeWitt Clinton, who delivered the congratulatory address.
After the applause which was loud and long had died away, Judge Sherwin, who had been visibly moved during the recitaton of his commendable qualities as vouchsafed by his fellow citizens, said:
"Neighbors and Friends: I think I may safely say that a time comes in the life of every person when the heart is so illled with joy that speech is nearly impossible. • This great gathering of dear friends tonight fills my heart with unbounded joy, but does not in the least surprise me. During the twenty-three years of our residence among you, you have always and upon all occasions showered upon my dear wife and myself tokens of your love and esteem. No call has ever been made upon you that has been denied; you have always been ready and more than willing to assist us in any undertaking. You have smiled when we smiled and In the hour of sorrow your tears have mingled with ours. Whatever of success has come to us we owe to your kindness and assistance. I hope I am not selfish enough to think that the high honor just conferred upon me by the republican party of this great state came to me solely on account of any merit I may possess. It was a recognition rather of the good peaple of Mason City and vicinity, whose reputation for kindness and true hospitality is as wide as the state, and as pleasing as a beautiful flower. Nor could this great victory have been won without the earnest, united work of my fellow citizens who went to Des Moines with me and toiled and labored among the nearly 1,300 delegates assembled there until succcss was made possible. Let me thank you sincerely for this demonstration of your love for us and Interest in us. I regret that we are not situated so that we can entertain you all tonight."
"When Judge Sherwin spoke of his friends mingling their tears with his he broke down and tears glistened in many eyes, for they knew he referred to the loss of his beloved daughter. It was characteristic of him, and brought to mind an incident that one happened in court when a little girl was brought as a witness against her father in a divorce case which the mother was seeking because of the husband's disrespect for mother and child. The little girl was too modest to tell the curious spectators certain language the father had used and the judge in his fatherly way said, "Come up and tell me, darling." She quickly ran to him, put her arms about his neck and whispered In the Judge's ear so pathetically her story that he burst Into tears. It was a magnificent touch of pathos, this emotion of the lion-hearted judge, and made a deep impression. However, he knew It was an occasion of joy and quickly regained his felicitous mood. At the close of the judge's remarks Mayor Brett proposed three cheers for Judge Sherwin, which were given with magnificent volume and also with a tiger. A Western Union messenger rushed up with a hand full of congratulatory dispatches and then the crowd surged around the judge and his good wife to render them their heartfelt congratulations—and the band played on.

STRAHGE CAUSE FOR SUIT.
Ida Grove Undertaker Sued For Doing a Poor Job of Burying.
Special to Times-Republican. Ida Grove, Aug. 5.—A peculiar case
will be brought at the next term of court. Last winter a child of Mr. Frank Couditt dled and Undertaker E. C. Mill was given charge of the funeral arrangements. When they came to the cemetery It was found the rough box was too small to permit of the coffin being placed in it. It being a very cold day Mr. Mill said they could proceed with the ceremony and after the friends departed he would "fix It."
When all had departed he broke out the end of the rough box, placed the coffin in and had the sexton fill in the grave. The mother afterward learned of this and it is claimed suffered great mental sorrow. She died in about two months after the death of her child, but it is not claimed this sorrow hastened her death. Mr. Couditt now sues for $2,000 damages.

Des Moines, Aug. 5.—The biennial report of the Soldiers Orphans' home was received by the board of control yesterday from Superintendent M. T. Gass. At the beginning of the period there were in the institution 28S boys and 199 girls of whom 197 were maintained on account of being the children of soldiers and 190'for other reasons, by the counties sending them. At the close of the period there were present 2R0 boys, 185 girls; 260 of them were children of soldiers and 185 were supported by counties. The total enrollment for tlie period was 707. The small reduction in' attendance was almost wholly in the case of soldiers' children. The number of both classes cared for during the biennial period was only 12 less than for the preceding biennium. The home is conducted with great care, the design being to furnish so far as possible the best influences of a home. The school is an excellent one, with a strong corps of teachers.
The different policies of the counties toward their poor children forms the occasion for an Interesting section of the report. Of 185 county children Id the home, 100 come from five counties, Scott, Polk, Mahaska, Madison and Lee. Only forty-two counties support any county children. In this connection Mr. Gass says that counties frequently send children to the reform schools who ought to be sent to this home, simply because the county must pay for them. He enters a vigorous protest against this policy, which is calculated to throw many Innocent children among the more depraved classes, who ought to be given the advantage of the better class of institutions. In many states this practice is forbidden by laws which do not allow children under 12 years to be sent to reform schools except for felony. Besides this, many counties keep their poor children in poor houses, when they ought to be sent to the home. The state of New York has adopted the plan which Mr. Gass approves. Mr. Gass recommends strongly that tlie state assume the entire responsibility for the maintenance of county poor children, so there will be no excuse for Impecunious county oftlcer3 to send worthy but needy children to the institutions in which they will be surrounded by bad inlluences. If the state is unwilling to assume the entire cost of maintenance under this system, it might pay half and require the county to pay the remainder. This plan he dues not approve, however, believing that the state should pay the entire bill. If it were Inaugurated, it is certain that half the benefits of the home would not be en-Joyed by the poor children of a half dozen counties.
During the past year the per capita cost of supporting children has been $103.03. Giving credit for supplies on hand at the beginning of the year, this amount is raised to $105.81.
The general health of the children has been excellent. The schools are organized on a basis which makes them exactly parallel to the public schools of the city of Davenport, for the first nine years, or up to the point of entering the high school. The older children are engaged dally in some industrial work in addition to their studies The rule is to have them one-half day In school and the other half at work. The boys are employed on the big farm, caring for the stock, in the carpenter shops, paint shops, engine room, and about the grounds; the girls in tailor ing, dressmaking, the laundry and the cooking school. The girls are taught the full routine of preparing and serving meals, and do it every day.
Taking up the needs of the Institution. Mr. Gas3 says that a chapel should be built, containing an auditorium for amusement purposes. It would cost about $1,500. The home also needs more land, so that more of the children can be employed in farming, and also in order that a larger herd of cows may be kept. He asks $15,000 for this purpose, and predicts that it would be an actual economy to the state, because of the Increased value of products that would be assured. Another $11,000 is asked to enlarge the cottages on the grounds. Steam heat is needed for the cottages, which would cost $S00. More furniture, cement walks and a large cow barn are other items, aggregating $4,600. Additions to the library are much needed and $S00 Is asked to make them. Also better boilers and boiler house, and a contingent fund of $3,000.
