F. Hendricfce comes out 88 a candidate for rhe position of County Superintendent of Schools because he was urged by his many friends to do BO. This is no reflection on the capability of any of the other candidates for the place, but Mr. Hendricks took it to mean that the people wanted him. IJehas been a success as a teacher and a success as County Superintendent and his work in Savanna while he was absent from our county has matured his plans and convictions In regard to educational work.

During the time he was Superintendent of the Savanna schools he was always active in institute work and in all educational work. These years of endeavor in these lines should make him more of an educational force than ever and make him better equipped man for the place he seeks. When he left Savanna the people gave him an ovation. The Savanna Daily Times said of him and his work: Our departing superintendent has been honored on the eve of his leave taking at various times. The pupils of our schools, the High School Alumni, the Woodmen Camp, had all in a small measure demonstrated their regret that he is to separate himself from ui.

These manifestations have been told of in these columns before, but all theee displays of sincere regret, although coming from the hearts of those who have been more Intimately associated with Mr. Hendricks, were less demonstrative than the one of last evening. All these friends in their various organizations had spoken. The great body of other citizens felt that tlieir emotions should not- be stilled. Accordingly many of our business men and intluentiat citizens, acting in one mind, planned and executed an ovation that in magnitude was never before tendered a Savanna citizen.

It required no urging to unite others in bestowing public honor on their friend and benefactor. Mr. Is getting about the county seeing his friends, but as the time between now and the county convention is short, he may not get into every corner of the county.

THOMAS, F. M323UGwe Chicago. THE HENNEPIN CANAL. What it Now KrlnK In tho IntProit of tho lllg IJItch. The Princeton Republican says the banks of the Hennepin canal must have some protection against floods and the slughing away of tha loose soil.

Some of the best engineers thought the original estimates and plans of the engineers were all right and did not appear to have much faith in the stories about the loose soil. Major Marshall, of Chicago, however, has taken a different view of the situation, and has sent In a report on the subject. In this he says the embankments in many localities must be riprapped with etone to preserve them and estimates this cost at 82,000,000, which amount must be added to the original estimates for the canal. The amount will undoubtedly be appropriated by Congress and when this is completed the canal embankments will present a much more substantial surface than at present. Proceedings are now being taken in the United states District Court for the condemnation of the entire right of way for the feeder, a distance of twenty-nine miles, and running from Sterling to a point a few miles west of Wyanet, and for fifteen miles of right of way on tho main line.

For carrying on the work there is now available 8500,000, and the sundry Civil bill now pending in Congress will appropriate 81,400,000 additional. The work will now proceed rapidly. Major Marshall says, and will be completed on, the original plans until the extra amount is appropriated, when the work on the protection of the embankments will be commenced. Nearly all the extra 82,000,000 will be expended in Bureau county. WOMAN IN THE CASE.
