DES MOINES, Feb. 4.—(Speclal to The Bee.)—The legislature has now been in ses- slon three weeks and the tangible results have been the selection of a United States senator, the passage of a few legalizing acts, and of one bill of general importance. This measure, which simply exempts reglstered pharmacists from jury duty, consumed the greater part of three days in the senate, and after bging defeated, was reconsidered and efforts made to include bankers, farn s and other classes, but the bill finally passed as it came from the house. The senate immedi- ately hereafter adjourned till Monday after- noon, There {s an evident part of a majority of the senate to take matters easy and do nothing with haste or precipitation. Jome are uncharitable enough to infer that a few at least of the senators do not really desire to meet the grave public questions that are being forced upon the attention of the legislatu and hope to escape from giving these mat- ters due consideration by pleading ‘“‘lack of time. However this may be, It Is quite certain that the senate is making extreriely slow progress In general work, and the more important measures now pending before that body remain untouched. For in- stance, tht bill so carefully prepared by the revenue commission to revise raxation, which is of special interest to all the taxpayers of the state, has not received the slightest at- tention beyond a mere informal considera- tion of the fi section by the ways and means committee. In order to get thi measure fairly before the general assemb and allow sufficient time to fully discuss every feature, the legislature two years ago adopted a resolution requiring a copy of the recommendations of the revenue commission to be mailed to every member of the legislature in advance. This was done to give them an opportunity to study its pro- visions at their leisure. It would seem, therefore, that if the revenue laws are not revised that the usual plea of “lack of time" will hardly avail with the people. The lower house has made very commend- able progress in legislation. Every motion to “adjourn over'” has been voted down, and six full days' work every week Is the order of the day. The bulk of the bils have been anded in and the committee work is well under way. Considerable progress has also been made on the routine work of the cal- endar. LIQUOR QUESTION STILL PENDS. No progress whatever has been made during the week in solving the liquor prob- lem beyond the informal discussion in com mittee rooms and the introduction of a number of new bills on the subject by re- publicans. No test vote has been taken in committee and no time fixed for a report on the measures to the house. The democ s have carefully prepared a high license bill with local option features and introduced it in both houses. The bill allows the free manufacture and sale of wine made from grapes or fruit produced on the lands of the manufacturer and sold in quantities of not less than one gallon. The license fee varles from $500 to $1,000, $200 of which shall go into the county' treasury and the balance to the munfcipality. A pe- tition signed by two-fifths of the legal vote; is necessary to call an election, which can- not be held oftener than once In two vears. 1t is a foregone conclusion that this bill will not_pass. While no_definite action has been taken it is clearly evident that the sentiment among republicans is crystalizing in favor of a mulct tax, the main difference being whether the bill shall be merely an “addi- tional penalty” to those already existing or contain a provision that the payment of the mulct tax shall constitute a defense against further proceedings under the law against illegal selling. A strong delegation of the liberal element Is coming here early in the week from all the principal cities of the state and every effort will be made to induce the republicans to reach some agree- ment. The house committee on highways has turned a cold shoulder toward all biils pro- viding for the issuance of bonds and for special state taxes to improve the public roads. The bill on this subject that is meet- ing the most favor was introduced by Jester of Greene, and provides for the payment of all road taxes in cash, for the election of a supervisor by each civil township and placing the whole matter under the control of the trustees. Further amendments will likely be added before the -measure M reported back from the committee. The house has passed by a unanimous vote the Davison bill, providing for the ex- termination of the Russian thistle or salt- wort. The bill requires all land owners to cut and destroy all thistles between the 1st and 10th days of September of each year, and should they fail to do 50 when no- tified by any person in writing of the pres- ence of the noxious weed, the failure be- comes a misdemeanor, and is punished ac- cordingly. It Is also made the duty of any person knowing of the existence of any thistles to give notice to the owner of the land of this fact, and, unless destroyed by the 10th of Sep- tember, to al give notice to the board of township trustces, who, be- fore the 15th day of the ponth, shall cause the same to be cut and burned, and the e pense of the same shall be levied as a spe- clal tax against the land. The professor of agriculture in the State Agricultural college is also required to prepare a bulletin, giv ing a description and illustration ‘of the plant, with best methods for its destruction, and distribute them among the farmers at the expense of the state. In discussing the bill, it was stated that if the thistles got' @ good foothold they would lite take the land, and are so hard and thorny that horses cannot be driven through them without serious injur: MISCELLANEOUS BILLS. The house committee on insurance has ap- proved the bill introduced by Fineh requir- ing settlement for losses to be made within thirty days, inst of ninety, which is now the Tule; a majority of the committee will also favor the Wyckoff “valued policy” bill in a modified form. There is in the senate only one insurance bill, and that is of minor importance, There is an evident disposition in both houses {0 modify the school laws to some extent. . Bills are pending to authoriz the infliction of corporal punishment; to require compulsc attendance of all puplls between 8 and 15; to provide free text books and free clothes to indigent children, and to authorize local school boards to appoint an agent to furnish books to the pupils. The corporal punishment bill has been recommended for indefinite post- ponement. The legislature is being with - petitions, apparently by concert. asking an ation of $25,000 to lift the state fair management out of the ‘“slough of despond” into which it has been plunged. As the stato generously purchased the grounds and made a liberal appropriation for buildings with the express understand- ing that no further demands should be made upon the public revenues by this assoclation, the feeling in the legislature is not at ali triendly to this scheme, The committee on agriculture is wrestling with the bills to prevent th lection of promissory notes obtain fraud. The Carter bill, which is identical with the act passed two years ago and vetoed by Governor Boles, is meeting with the most favor. There is a feeling 4 both houses In favor of ellowing the manufacture of wine from homa grown grapes to be carried on without a lizanse, and even breweries and distilleries may yet be opened for the manufacture of the mnecessary liquors required for strictly legal purposes, and possibly even for export. The Sawyer bill, providing & bounty of 1 cent per pound on beet sugar, met with disposition on the overwhelmed gotten up appropri- strong opposition frofy the democratic mem. bers of the committeyon domestic manufag. tures, but has been repcrted favorably ard will probably pass the house The house has passed the Watkins bill to punish prize fighting; also the Chassell bill providing for both temporary and permanent organization of the JeRlature on the same day. This will obviaté thd necessity of e ing the United Statef sghator on two differ ent days which bas h)‘lr fore been the prac tice, A bill to prevent Whntéfs from trespassing upon farms and cultivated lands is before the agricultural commifteq, of both branches of the general asgembly. Ae the measure now standd, should t become a law, it will enable’a ‘Mrmer to summarily arrest any person fOURd huntjng upon his place without his expfeys permission, take him before a magistrafé and subject him to a fine of from $10 'to 25 and costs. The farmers in the legislafffte claim that some such measure as this I8 abgolutely necessary for_their protection. The bill introduced by Turner to prevent deception in the sale of butter and che has passed the senate and Is now pending in the house. SOME RAILROAD MEASURF The rallroad legislation tils session prom- ises to“be of considerable importance. Billy are pending authorizing one railroad co pany to purchase the bon and securitien of another; to require the use of the inter locking switch, and to make all mileago books transferable and tickets “good until used.” Horton has also Introducedl empowering the Board of Commissioners to orler tion of private crossings guards at such reasonable place as may be designated by the owner of the land. Chair- man Coonley of the railroad commitée the house Introduced a bill requiring rail- roads to lease the ground for elevators, coal sheds and similar purposes for a term of years, instead of only one, as is now the rul These virious measures are bringing the 1 lobby upon the scétie, and the pros- pects of any of them becoming o law are not very brilliant. The biils for the support of th o uni- versity have finally been introduced in both They call for an appropriation of ,000 and a special tax of two-tenths of a mill jupon all the property of the state, which would bring in an annual income at the present rate of assessment from this source of $120,000. The same favor in th way of a special tax is also requested b the Agricultural college. The sentiment in the legislature, however, Is decidedly averse to increasing the public burdens or taking the control of the state finances out of the hands of either house. Important developments are confidently looked for during the coming week in re spect to liquor legislation. That the senate committee will agree upon and report some bill for favorable action is more than prob- able. the er and cattle ID IS FRIENDS, Cedar Rapids Man Secures Funds Hlegally and Skips, CEDAR RAPIDS, la., Feb. 4.—(Special Telegram to The Bee.)—Several months ago Charles Morgan of Livermore borrowed sev- eral large sums of money, giving his notes, which were endorsed by Abe Simmons and Mr. Kinney, his brothers-in-law.

Tuesday evening, at the Board of Education rooms, Mr. Fitzpatrick spoke on *The Rel lation of ‘the Kindergarten to Primary Work.” He spoke of the contrasts between the present modes of education and those of the past. Education, he said, is character building; and the teacher who loscs sight of this in her zeal to impart facts makes a ragretabie mistal Tne aim of the kin- dergarten is to direet, not to control the nutural growth of 4 child; to encourage him to discover for himself and in his own way the abstract value of certain objects and to relate it to something that he already kuows. ‘This, in truth, should be the aim of all education. but itis in the kindergarten that it begins especially. The difference between the kindergarten and theinfantschools of England and France was dwelt upon. The kindergarten 1s a phasc of education, a very necessary one, but only for the time, After a certain age the kindergarten methods have no attraction for a child and he derives no benefit from them. Yet the kindergarten spivit varried into the primary school will be productive of good results if managed properly. The kin- dergarten games, having for their cbject the creation of sympathy through the repre- sentation of things,around the pupil, have 10 equivalent in the primary school; the same conditions exist, but it is hardly possi- ble to utilize forces in the same way. Kin- dergarien stories representing ideal life should be continuca iu tire primary school, with fairy tales, anecdotes of great men, of high aspirations, of moble deeds, thus lead- ing to a course of reading in the higher des. ‘Phe cultivaion of the senses, the awaken- 1ng of the child’s curiosity, and stimulation of u desire for knowledge, should be con- tinued in the primary school in “object lessons,” -principally from natural history and botany. ‘r'he highest form of kinder- garten work—that of stimulating the child to free creative activity by means of the occu- putions, and especially by clay modeling and outlining, nas its parallel in drawing aud in oral und written composition. Reading—learning sounds, words, letters— in the primary schools abandons entirely the method of the kindergarten. There are three phases of knowiedge. First, mere knowledge of isolatcd facts; second, thav of couscious analysis : £ seeing relations: third, synthesis. The old-time school represents the first stage. Pestalozzi, i object lessons und the analysis of s a8 ubstractions resulting from ob- servations of these objects, revresents the second stage. ‘I'he third, the syuthetic, conscious exercise of the pupil’s own powers. He builds with objects; he compares and 10 sees relations and represents ; ho sees objeots as elements in u system or brocess of @eowth; bo finds out own activity in his discovery of things and applics all his knowledge: he thinks and expresses his thoughts, Now, when he begins ‘1o read in the pri- mary school, he is drifigd back into the first stage of knowing, and grapples with iso- lated, unvelated facts in the shapo of letters, words. sounds; his ‘uiéhtai energy goes to the learning of words—a mere exercise of the memory. Reading should follow the oral language lesson and be based upon it, in order that the child's thought should be of the matter of the lesson and motof the words of its presentation, It is with chbildven as with adults. The sanie difference of abiity and receptivity is observably Roughly-estimating, the human family may be aividearinto threc clusses First, the great majority—those who have the power to perform the animal functious of life, “'to eat, drink and be merry ;" second, the ones who can do something, aad will if they are led to do v by the third class: lasily, those who, in living out the coar- acteristics of their being, mould the thought of the world, and thus become examples and leaders to the other two. This class isa minority in numbers. It has been said that were this third class to be suddenly transported out of Eng- land that country would fall in fifty years 0 a third-rate power. he aecadence of Spain has been attri- buted to the loss of the men who went to South America, to Ceutral America and to Mexico; they were the leaders, and Spain has never regained the prestige thus lost, e DeWitt's WitchHlazat save cures piles.

D., Feb. 8.—(Special to The Bee.)—The people in this section and throughout the state are uaanimous in eaying that more snow has fallen thi winter than during any winter siuce that of 1850, when the snow fall was so great that when the snow went off 1 the spring every lake bed was filled to the brim with water. As a result crops were good during the succeeding two or three years. Since that time and until this winter the snow fall has gradually decreased and crops wero poorer each season. Last year there werc but two lake beds in the state that had any water in them. Red Lake, in this county was a large budy of water up to a few years ago, but it steadily dried and last year was entirely dry. I[t15 the general belief that the great snow fall this winter will again fill n of theso lake beds the coming spring and that crops will be good for sev- eral years to come.
