  P. H.  Bradley our county superintendent of schools was in Ottumwa the first of the week attending a convention of Superintendents.
  Peter Sidles of Jerome was a caller the latter part of the week. Mr. Sidles has recently returned from a trip through the southwest. He visited Concordia, Kansas, where he has a daughter living, and also stopped awhile at Wichita. From there he went to Enid and other points in Oklahoma. He reports that country as suffering some for want of rain and on the whole not equal to old Appanoose.
