Boards Authorized to Furnish Publi- cations at Cost Dis Morses, Ta., April 27.—[Spe Ber.]—Probably the bill of public importance passed by the late legisl ture was the school book bill. When signe by the governor it will not go into effect unt July 4. As there is no ofieial pubiication vy quired, many being made to vuin general features of the law. A jrovisions, therefore, may be of public interest. The bill is a compromise measure. Tt was intended to be on the whole an anti-uniformity bill, and yet it made some those who were the strongest uniformity, 1t is, in district purchase bill with an o vd uniformity, as far as counties, if the The main idea [n framing th bill was to devise some way for gotting books - prices, The first section 1 to T st general " requests ar the concession , to advocates of general g of the bill svery school dist to adopt aset of text books and then malke contracts for then and buy and sell them to the pupils at cost. The president of the school board is to have chavgo of the books and receive and nccount for the money received. All the books thus purchased shall be paid for out of a contingent fund and the school board must annually certify to tho board of supervisors the additional amount that is necessary to levy for a contingent fund for this purpose. Before p ing hooks the board of divectors must advertise for the conse ve in one or mo iewspapers for bids from publishers. They must state what they want in the way of quality of material used, ete., and must con- sider all of those items, such as illustrations, binding, quality of paper, ote., when s ing bids, and the lowest bids means lowest in view of all these considerations that o to nake up a destrable text book. Then if_any publishier to whom a contract has been awarded shall at any time refuse to furnish the books that have been ordered at the lowest price at which such books ave being furnished to any oth district or stato_board, suit must be brought upon the boud Of the contracting publisher. Wlhen books have once been chosen in th way they must not be chunged or displaced hefore the expiration of five years from the time of their adoption, unless ihe change is authori jority of the clectors vot- ing in fayor of such a change at any regular March clection, Publishers who intend to wake bids must at the time deposit in_the office of the county audi des of all text books included in the bids, together with i the lowest wholesale and con- for the same. These samples are to be left for inspeetion of oficers, teachers or patrons of the school. Al of the foregoing contemplates only district, or at the most township uniformity, Subsequent sections provide for county wniformity if desired. In order to secure the latter there must be firs apetition sizned by one-half of the school ¢ rectors in any county, which is to be filed in the ofice of the county superintendent at least thirty days before the anuual election in Mareh, asking for uniform text books through the county. Then the s cendent muost uotify the auditorand the hoard of supervis- ors of such petition, and within fifteen days aiter the filing of it they must mect and e for submitting the question to pop: vote. If a majority of the electors of a county favor uniforiity, then the board of supervisors, with the vounty superintendent and auditor, must meet and” select the text books for the whole county and _contract for ‘min the same way that district school bourds do. This new school bowrd is to have the county superintendent as chaivman and the county auditor as secretary, and they w to buy and sell the books to the dist Doards and tuen the, woney received into_ the county treasury. Nomember of any school board or teacher is allowed to act as an agent for any school text books or suppl The provisions of the Law referring to connty un formity do not apply to schools located in itics “or towns, and the electors in such places are not to Yote upon the question of county uniformity. The v seheme is in- tended only for the country schools wher the same grade of books would be generally accoptable. These are the moin featives of lowa's new ~ltis thamiivst attempton the part of the legislature to secure lower prices for text books amd it is generally b Tieved that this system of buying books at the lowest competitive price and sclling them to the pupils at eost will result in a great saving to the patrons of the schools. 1t males some provision also for uniformity in text books so that if a majority of the peo 1y county wint uniform text books theiv county schools they can have them. i some instances, is for exan ing the president of a school 1 the trouble and v books and accounting bond for the faithful duties, and yet veceiveno compensation whit- ever, SHIL this was the bost that could be sceured at this time and it was so much better than no legislation on the subject at all t the bill received a lavge majority of the vote of cach house, DURUQUE SWITCHING CASES. Those old switehing cases at which liave been hanging fire so long are likely to be settled soon if the railroads will adopt the joint vates, The trouble grew out of arefusal ofone road to switch cars foranother except at the usual tarifl rate for the distance traveled which made it very expensive for the shipper. The joint vates bill permits the roads to charge less for a joint shipment than the law of the two separato shipments alone would be, If the railroads witl comply the law the trouble will be removed. ERED A LEAK. The state anditor thinks he has discoy o leak through which the state might lo sideruble revenue. The Towa law requires foreign iusurance companies to pay into th treasury of this state 21, per cent of the gross yremiuis received in Uiis state, This amount 15 to be in lieuw of any other taxes so far as Towa is orned. Ouo-eastorn company had not been paying any taxes vecently, anil when the auditor looked the matter up found that the oficiuls of the company had put a new construction upon w. They had fustructed all of their agents in this state to take no premiums, but to_have them sent di tly to the home oftice in the east. So the oficiuls said that they were not liable for the ttax, for they had not received auy preminn money “in_this state,” but had cived it in the east. 1t did not take much of n awvgument for the auditor to convinee them thut this construetion of the liw would not hold water, and tho company came to timo and paid up. 1f all the outside compa- nics had followed this construction of the luw the state would lose about #0,000 an That is about the amount of taxes which'outside companies now pay into the anthorizes fct in the st at in Dubuque DIsCC READY FOR A TEST It scems to be the general opinion here that the lowa lines will refuse to put in foree the joint rates us required by the new law, 1f thoy refuse the commissioners will make a joint, vate taviff themselves and instruct the attorney general to begin proceedings to e force it I'hat will bring the case before th conrts and give an opportunity to test the constitutionality of law.

(Copuright’ 1890 by James Gordon Bennett.] Pryvovrr, April 27.—[New York Herald Cable -In consequence of a cablegram from New York and published in the Herald stating that Thomas Kimber, a young Engiishman, had disappeaved from Montreal, many of his friends have called on Mr. €. H. Kimber, his father, who resides at Topham n ixeter and expressed their deep commiseration with him. Tho family are well known in this district and the report created something like a sensation. The fathier of the missing man is a grocer and for some years carried on an extensive trado in Excter. He was, however, a heavy loser by the failure of the West England bank some years ago and went to Iive at Tonsham, where he still resides. His missing son, who is twenty-nine years of age, left home five weeks o and on March 22 sailed from Liverpool for Montreal in the Saraia. He had good letters of Introduction and it was sup- poscd by his parents he would have settled down at Montreal, as among his intro- ductory letters was ono to Messrs. Hudson, proprictors of a large factory there. It is al- most impossible that in so short a time he could be cramped for money, as his father sent him in advance a draft for several pounds and he had besides a 1 and ex- pensivo outfit, which lie left at his hotel. By some it was thought he had gone to visit friends residing ut Winnipeg, but on the other hand it is unaccountable he should huve done so without leaving word at his hotel. London.

Omaha 7, Sioux City 8, A rattling good game of ball rew five thousand spectators who went Association park yesterday afternoon, Notwithstanding the home team lost, the playing was just as fine, and to be beaten by the narrow margin of a single run isu't so bad after all, is it? Contributary to the loss of the game was the canavy-tinted umpiring by Blogg, who seemed determined that the visitors should have the game if it cost him Lis position. When & team has the umpire to fight, as well as the opposing nine, it requires the most strategic work to win. Omaha wasn't cqual to the job yesterday, however, strugglo as hard as she might, In the language of Tennyson, Mr. Blogg was rotten. But let that pass—it is our turn next, can’t lose always. But what a magnifident crowd was the You missed half your life if you weren't on hand. Every available fnch of space was oc- cupied, both on the bleachers and in the stand, while a deep row of recumbent forms made @ picturesque border for the outfie and behind these wepe carriages and bugg filled with interested spectators to the num- ber of a thousand move, It was a lovely day again, clear blue skie: ajocund sunshine and an atmospher pered just vight for physical comfort, T'he Corn Huskers wore earncst faces wlhen they went into the field, and the Omubas looked desperate enough to commit murder, It was n savage battle, and those who be- held it will never, forget it—there was so much pertinacity of purpose and so much reckless daving il it thut the immense throng looking on the field at times becam fairly delivions. The strugeling hosts wavered back and forward, and forward and back, and it was nobody’s game until the list moment. Then Sioux City, with the inflammatory headed Hanrahan as theiv moving spivit, made her final rally and came on with a rush, The onslaught would brook no resistance The home column broke and went down in- glorionsly before the resolute assanlt, Then came the panic and a Bull Run retreat, and the head and front of the routed team who tore_from the scenc of earnage was the form of Brigadier General Thomas Keans, He came on_plumed and belted, and hie went away as if he had passed through a threshing machine, It was tough, very, very tough on Fanni to lose that game,” but the lucteal flui spilled, and what's the use shedding brine over it! fick was there determined to have the yand rubescent Haurahan was with him oh, dear ! how buoyant and hil that great man was, He 1 victory on his pulo lapis lazuli eye.

Before launching into the details catastrophe a word wmust be suid Oumahas, Walsh was the hero. He batted, fielded, ran ba: nd made runs after a fashion that made one fegl as if there were no ills in life- that it was one long, bright, joyous, sun- shiny day. A single, a double, o three-bag- ger, three runs and five assists, without the semblance of a mistake, is a record that the fair-haired short-stop may well feel proud of And the battery, Fauning and Evquarhart they played brilliantly, and should have been rewarded with a victory, but all they got was mud. And so runs the world away. However, it would be invidious to particularize when all did so well. Canavan, that usually reli uble player, was the only one off, yet his two errors were both of the pardonuble kind muffs of long, havd flies, But do not forget. The Cor in it from start to finish, Willis put everyhody in a happy state of mind by smashing out a single ou the nd ball pitched. He went, to second on _Cana- van's out from the ubiquitous Hanrahan to Powell, and then evoked a storm of applause aling third, Everybody said “We'lt but as is often tho case, everybod t know what théy were tulking about hat little sawed-off pleco of humanity who guards left field for tha Huskers eat a fly wings and all—whick Kenrus graciously sent him.

On Ei quarl 8 third safe drive Walsh scored and Fanning closed the inning on a long fly to Black. On & base on balls, a single and a two ba ger, Sioux City got in another run in their Dalf, but this feft us still three ahead. All this time Hanrahan's brigade had been on the defensive. 1t had fought inch by inch for the ground Omaha had compelled it to give up, but in the eighth they came in after kalsomining Omaha, for a grand rally. Bros- nan started it with a single, and Hanvahan sent him home on . slashing three bagger, scoviug o moment later himself on a wild pitch. The next three men got up only to be dropped down, and still we wer head. In the ninth the home team subsided in a timid way, us if they felt the calamity im- pending. _Hanrahan right here walked up to the um- pive, and shuking his red curls at him ugl called him names, and Mr. Blogiz put a sp cial tax of $15 on him.
