The attempt was again made to locate one, but Fival interests defeated It, as usual Rural Schoois, In this connection, I again call atten- tion to the Inadequate educational advanta- ®es in rural distriets. The average country school teacher receives less than $2% per month, exclusive of board, less, we are told, than in any other northern state, and less’ than fn several southern states. It must be that the major part of the 85,000, 0 annually spent by the state for publfc rchools i expended in cities and towns. It Is exceedinzly unfortunate that the rural schools are of such a character that the average farmer boy leaves at 14 or 1b years of age. This lamentable condition whil be painfuily apparent in ten years, if it Is not already. No number of colleges or univers sities will meet the demand cure the evil. The village and city school is espe- clally plarned for those who begin at 6§ years of age and continue until graduation without _intermission. It 18 & poor place for @ child from the rural community. 1 have In previous com- munications discussed this question at some length, 1t has also received con- sideration-—-wise consideration, I think— from the superintendent of public instrue- tion. T believe with him that central township schools with prevision for con- veying the puplis to and fro at public pense will afford greater relief than an other proposed system. If to this could be added a_provision for the employment of a_ county superintendent ar an adequate salary, to be chosen In the same manner ae city superintendents, and with analo- gous dutles and responsibilities, it would pevolutlonize our. chool system for good. The salary should be fixed by law or the position would be let to the lowest bidder, as our rural schools largely are at present. It I8 feared that some of the teachers have little else to commend them than kinship to the dire: r. Nepotiem Is generally con- doned if the compensation I8 low enough. Nefther can very much be expected of a county superintendency under n gystem that invites considerations of availability only. If these changes were made, some of you gentlemen might not be refurned, but’ you can afford to sacrifice your po- Htical lives 1f by #o doing you shall serve and save the youth of Town. “They' will have no committee on legislation. Other interests will be represented, I appeal to you, gentlemen, directly. Much of the evil #0 manifest s resultant of a wave of sentiment that has in comparatively recent years created the impression that economy Is the synonym of statesmanship. Cap Improvement Comminsion, The Twenty-elghth general assembly au- thorized the creation of a commission to investigate and recommend such improv ment of the capitol and other prope of the state connected therewith, Inclu ing decorations, works of art, electric light- ing and burglar alarms, as ‘in the oplinon of the commlssion would fluce the capitol bullding In a state of perfect repair,’ d equip the same with modern improvements In obedience to this provision, Hon. Peter A. Dey, who was a member of the original capitol ' commission, and who bore a con- splcuous part in erecting the present edi- fice; Prof, Charles A. Cumming. an artist of more than state reputation, and Henry 8. Josselyn, a learned and practical archi- toet, werc' selected. Thelr report is on file, and is commended to your careful perusal and favorable consideration. This commissior recommends the expenditure in the aggregute of $260,000. 1 think it should all be provided for at one time, but ft need not all be made avallable in one 1 think it would be unwise to mutilate the recommendations. The commission went very thoroughly into the subject and consulted the best authoritles in the tion, and it is doubtful If {ts conclusion can be hastily improved upon. The whole schen has been carefuliy wrought out Those competent to judge belleve the re sult will be mosi satistactory. The capit 18 considered the third best in the country, and its architecture makes possible a more ardstic interfor than any other. 1t will be remembered that the original commis- alon wae suddenly and unceremoniously discharged before the contemplated work was completed. As a result, for nearly the fifth of a century visitors have stood on the outside of the bullding in great ad- miration, but have entered it only to be shocked at the bare walls and unfinished corridors. The recommendation of this commiselon with reference to an electric lighting plant is especially indorsed as a matter of economy. A svetem of burglar alarms I8 a'so very Iimportant. In the same connection, 1 suggest that an arte- sian well be bored at the power house, the expense of which can be nearly, it not wholly, saved in one biennium. The members of this commission have erformed the'r duties so thoroughly, and Rave %o patriotically given their time to the work, that 1 recommend that they be reilmbursed for the expenses incurred in excess of the amount allowed by the act creating the commission. Loulsiana Purchase Exposition The centennial of the purchase and ces- slon to the United States in 1863 of the larger portion of our national domain west of the Missinsippi river is to be commemo- rated by what promises to be the most extensive exposition the world has yet seen. With your honorahle body rests the rosponuibllity’ of determining the part lowa shall take in this event, Wisely, this state contributed little to the Transmississippi exposition In 1895, nothing to the Pan- American expogition in 1801 and nothing to the Bouth Carolina and West Indian expo- sition whioh s now In progress. But | am of the opin‘on that the people of this com- monwealth will approve such provision for the Loulsiana Purchase Centennial expo- sittion as will leave no doubt in the minds of visitors that [owa constitutes an im- portant part of that priceless acquisition. Something worthy of the state, or nothing, should be our motto. Certainly there ought not to be created a commission with such limited means as to belle our prosperity and lbel our re urces. Vicksburg National Park Commission. The government has recently established a national park at Vicksburg, and the Twenty-elghth general assembly wuthorized a commission to locate the position of the thirty-two lowa regiments and_other or- ganizations which took part in that memo- rable slege, and to recommend such legls. lation as shall suitably and permanently mark the positions thus ascertained and worthily commemorate the valor and serv- ices of Towa soldlers in the campaign and of " Vicksburg. This commission duly appointed and has flied ity report, Which 18 submitted to your honorable body with the recommendation that it be published in suitable form for alstribution. The commission recommends {Jio appropriation of #1500 for the erec- tlon of sultable monuments. 1 am of .the opfnion this amount {8 not excessive. A larger paoportion of lowa troops took part in this slege than In any other battle or slege, and, numerically, more soldlers from lown were there engaged than from any other state save Ilinois. Visitors ought never to leave this park doubting either the patriotism of lowa soldiers or the ap- reciation of lowa people. The ~Light rigade in the famous charge at Balaklave iost 63 per cent and Tennyson has im- mortalized their valor. The Twenty-second Jowa in a single charge at Vickaburg lost 8 per cent (several other regiments dur- ing the slege 108t from 8 to over 10 per cent) and it will now be the privilege of the twenty-ninth general assembly to per- manently " comemmorate both their valor and thelr awful sacrifice I am still of the opinfon that the salary of the chief executive of this state ought to be increased. A bill fixing the salary at $,000 passed the lower house of the twenty-elghth general as: bly, but for want ‘of time failled to pass the senate. Salaries of all state officers are very low. They were fixed at a time when living expenses were much lighter than at pres- ent OMecial Bonds. In former years the bond of the treas- urer of state was $300,000, Thi through the discretion lodged with the chief ex- ecutive, has been recently increased to $500,000. For more than six months the balance in the treasury of the state has exceeded $1,000,000 and 1 am of the opinion that the treasurer's bond ought to be ap- proximately large. I am also of the opinion that this bond should be furnished at the expense of the state. The market value of the bond now furnished b}' the state treasurer is $4,000 per annum. The present treasurer u('luullymguld $1,600 In cash for his bond of 3300, The proposition on final analysls resolves Itself thus: The state treasurer, If his bond shall remain at $800,000, must pay $1,800 per annum in excess of his salary or he must secure by subscriptions among his friends that l'hlc‘ is purchasable in the market. I think simllar provisions should be made with respect 10 all bonds required of public officers. Inter slege was t on State Fun In view of the large treasury balance much of the time I recommend that pro- vision be made whereby the state may receive Interest on at least the greater portion and I am gratified that the treas- drer joina in this opinion and recommenda- tion, Equalisation of Assessments, The executive councll, sitting as a board of equalization in July of last year, passed the_ following resolutfon: “The executive ecouncil recommends to the general assembly such 1 modification of the statutes of the slate as will allot the board of review to adjust the assess- ment of all property at the same time, and it suggests the following wi in which this may be done: Either the rallroads might be assessed primarily by the rail- road commissioners (who, In view of thelr dutles, should be the better prepared than any one else to judge of the relative vaiue of th eral roads), and then the ex- ecutive council adjust all assessments at the July meeting, or the tfme of assessing rallroads, If left with the executive council, might be changed from March to July, %6 that the whole xubject should be before the council for adjustment at the time.' This action was not taken for the purpose of escaping responsibiiity, but in view of the fact that the present law requires the executive council to assess railroads an- nuaily in the month of March and equalize the assessment of all other property in July following. It does not contemplate a Fevlaton of the railroad assessment siready made. The following illustrations will, T {hink, Justify the recommendation: 'l March the railroads were nssessed at a_slight Increase over the figures of any revious year, but in July following it was found that real estate had been assessed $22,00.000 lews than two years before. In March, 1901, while the rallroads were as- sessed '$2,600,000 higher than in 1889, in July it_was found that real estate had been asscssed $14.000,00 higher than in 1599, The Parole System. The twenty-eighth general assembly pro- vided for the employment of a parole clerk in the office of the chief executive. This action 1 have interpreted as legislative approval of the policy which has grown up in the state of grantipg conditional par- dons, and by reason of additional as- sistance I have been able to Investigate to some extent the practical workings of the parole systom. During the ten the commencement of istration, in addition to full dons and commutations of tence, 134 convicts had been released ditlonally, most of them in the very ent past, Of this number eight had been re- turned under revocations and I have re. t ed one more. The remainder have been investigated and thelr whereabouts, their cond’ ct and thelt standing have been care- fully inquired iInto. Very favorable and satisfactory reports have been received from fifty-three and to these I have granted full and unconditional pardon and restora- tion to citizenship. The term for which six others re committed has not yet ex- pired. Eleven are dead or insane. Only reports, not sufficient to justify ac- were #ecured from thirteen, Unsatis- rie were recelved from four- been unable to locate or get any reports from (wrnlf-vl ht. It does not follow, however, that all of these are lead- viclous lives, The reports received fifty and more to whom full par- don has been granted were most gratify- ing. Several wrote using letter heads that bore their names Others were holding re- sponsible and trusted positions with promi- nent business houses and industrial corpo- ratlons, One was the incumbent of an of- ficlal_position of trust d neibility In a New England city of more n 100,000 inhabitants. Many were reported to have become Industrious citizens and to have won the full confidence and esteem of the communities in which they reside. Very fow nardons and less mmutations of sentence have been granted during the past blenunium, but, encouraged by the ac- ton of the legislature, | have been quite liberal in granting paroles and have leased 201 on conditions more or less exact- ing. Svitable employment has usually been secured before the release and the parole has been upon condition that the reciplent employ his time industriously, spend his evenings at home, absent himself from all places where Intoxicating liquore are sold or kept for sale and report every thirty days to this office the amount earned and the disposition made thereof. In addition 1 have ‘a number of benevolently disposed persons in each county who, unbeknown to others, wateh the conduct of paroled pris- oners and report their conduct to this of- fice, The result in most Instances has been very satigfactory. Of the 201 paroled, un- favorable reports have been received from thirty-one, and they have been returned to serve out the unexpired portions of their sentences. The present whereabouts of fifteen others is unknown. Most of these had but a few months of their terms re- mulnmg and the were released In the hope that the conditions imposed and the system of survelllance Inaugurated might hav nfluence. The remaining 156 are doing re mably well, and many of them ‘excellently. Some of them, however, if they should chance to be thrown out of loyment would very likely lapse into v A volume could be written that would be a8 interesting as a romance of the transformation In some of these lives, [ huave extended a full pardon to quite a number whose terms would have expired and who have acquitted themselves credit- ably. It has not been my purpose to ex- tend clemency those who have deliber- ately embarked upon a career of vice, but to sift out such as appear to have been in a sense mceldental criminals. Some of them, it Is belleved, were innocent of the crimes churged. A detalled list, giving the names of all I)el'lmnl to whom executive clemencyshas been extended, and my rea- sons therefor, Is this day submitted to your honorable body as provided by statute. I refer to the subject here as preliminary to the following nu{.n-sllonl and recommen- dations. 1 thinl additional legislation should be had, but 1 do not favor encum- ‘bering the parole system with specific re- strictions. 1 think the chlef executive should e absolute authority to release At pleasure any one charged with a less offense than murder in the tirst degree and to return him to the penitentiary at his discretion. ‘The statutory provision for shortening the term because of good con- duct should be so amended as to permit the governor to declare the same forfeited in case the conduct of the prisoner when on parole Is not satisfactory. Each case is distinet from all others, and no plan can {)e formulated with sufficlent elasticity to years prior to admin. par- en- on- my, meet the requirements changed “and ever-changing conditions. Under statutory provisions, as distinguished from free exer- clse of an unrestrained discretion, it is as easy for the intentionally viclous to earn release as for those of honorable and vir- tuous Instincts. 1 have paroled several before they have ever seen the peni- tentiary. This I have not done, however, except upon the recommendation of the trial judge and the county attorney who prosecuted. ' There are two quite distinct classes of criminals; the one dellberately and permanently vicious, the other to some extent the creature of circumstances, and no law ean be made that will enable a chief executive or a pardon board to dis- criminate wisely. Mistakes will be made at best, but on the whole I belleve in the greatest possible discretion, and the free exercise thereof. 1 have returned several to the penitentiary because thelr’ early education was neglected. They had never been taught to work, and when released would not seek or n('cv}ul employment They are now In the tool factory at Fort Madison acquiring what they should have oeen taught In youth. Burenu of Labor Statistics. The Investigations made by the bureau of labor statistics during the last blennium are of great importance, and the report will be found interesting and valuable, More than 30 factories were inspected, and the facte acertained and reported lead to the bellef that it would be well to make all ded provision for the Inspection of the rly 15,000 other factories In the cities and towns of Iow sons, The sanitary 'c the factories examined is well nigh alarm- ing, and I think demand consideration by this general assembly. The department should be clothed with authority as ample as the mine Inspectors, and it should be made {ncumbent upon the commissioner to protect employes fr¢ inadequate heat and dangerous machinery, and to enforce ade- quate fire escapes and wholeseme sanitary conditions, The report shows that a large number of children, some as young s 10 years of age, are being employed In the factories of Towa, and the faces of many of them tell a sad story o aver-work and over-hours, The statites of this state already prohibit the employment of children under a certain age In coul mines, Why not extend restric- tlons as to their employment In factories® Healthful employment for limited hours is beneficial, and 1 therefore do not object so of PRICE PER POUND. How Much i Good Solid Flesh Worth ¢ When a little tot that can hardly talk plain calls out for Grape-Nuts before she gets up from the bed in the morning thers must be something pleasing about the food. Her father says, "I can safely say that every pound of Grape-Nuts used in my family has been worth a dollar in gold to me.

Lake Beds, Two vesrs ago 1 called attention fo the fact _that the title to the beds of a large number of meandered lakes was in dis ute. The state claims title to these lands, think It would be wise to memoralize congress to protect the rights of the state by appropriate legislation. Certainly noth- ing ought to done to Interfere with What I8 now belleved to be our veted right. 1 am still of the opinlon It would be wise to grant these lands to some one or more of our educational institutions They are supposed to be worth several hundred thousand dollars 011 Inspection. Experlence has shown that the pro- vision for the inspection of linseed ofl Is insufficlent to protect the public. The most vile and worthleas adulterations are readily #s0ld as pure linseed ofl. 1 am of the opin- fon that dealers in paint ofls should be ro- quired to place a label upon the vessel containing each sale, and proper penalty should be provided for the sale of adultera- tions unless appropriately labeled. State Boundary. The act of congress which admitted the state of lowa Into the union fixed the west- ern boundary of this commonwealth as the middle of the main channel of the Mis- sourl river. Since that time the channei of the river has changed, and there is con- siderable territory formerly in thix state now on the western side of that river. This has given rise to much controversy, and to some litigation. At the last session of the legislature of Nebraska a boundary commission was authorized, the same to be appointed when the legislature of lowa shou make similar provision. The Ne« braska law provides for three members to be appointed by the governor to recefve 310 per diem for a period not to exceed thirty days, and the sum of $2,000 was ap- propriated to defray the expenses of the commission. 1 recommend similar action in this state in the hope that a permanent boundary may be established and ratified by the states Interested therein, and by the congress of the United States. In Memorfam, During the last blennium the people of this state have been called to mourn the death of Hon. John H. Gear—legislatos speaker of the house, governor, represent tive in_congress and United States sen tor—-a most conspicuous character in lowa history. Of no man has it ever been sald with greater verity, "He was the servant of the people.” He never held a position that he did not fill, and never filled a posi- tion of which he ‘was not worthy, or in which he fafled signally to honor those who had honored him, More recently our people were appalled at the violent death of the hest beloved of rulers and the most honored of men. Wil llam McKinley, president of the United Btates. 1 shall ‘not weary you, gentlemen, with an attempt to recount the virtues of that noble character. The Immortal words used by Lincoln concerning Washington and which have been repeatedly reiterated as_applicable to thelr author, can now be sald of McKinley: “To add brightness to the wun and glory ta the name of Washing ton 18 alike impossible Let none attempt it. In solemn awe pronounce the name And in its naked, deathless splendor leave it shining on." Such a trinity of names blesses not the annals of any country but ours, and no other people cherish such a priceless legacy of influence. Temporary Appointment To fill the vacancy occasioned by the death of Benator ~Giear, Hon. Jonathan Prentiss Dolliver of the city of Fort Dodge was, on August 22, 1600, appointed a sen; tor of the United Btates from the state of lowa for the remainder of the term that expired on March 3 last, and on February 25, 1901, Mr. Dolliver was appointed for the terim beginning on March 1 followin to hold until this general assembly shal elect a successor. Thomas B. Hanley of the city of Tipton was on January 1i, 1%1, commissioned a member of the board of regents of the Btate untversity, to fill a vacancy oc- casioned by the death of Mortimer A.

If there be discontent anywhere or among any class it is not manifest. While our population ‘s increasing_the court records Indicate that crime I8 decreasing. Fewer persons were nt to the penitentiary during the last ar. than in any other, save one, in the st _quarter of a century.

SPENCER PEOPLE REJOICE Raflroad Announcement Causes Joy erprises, SPENCER, Neb., Jan. 14.—(Special.)—No event since the incorporation of this vil- lage, about eleven years ago, has caused so much genulne excitement and good feeling as the announcement on Friday evening by Hon. G. F. Bidwell, general manager of of the Fremont, Elkhorn and Missourl Val- ley Rallroad company, that their railroad would be extended trom Verdigris, Neb., and located at this place by the first of next September. Over one hundred town lots changed hands on Saturday and other transters in real estate are reported. Some of the business men from Butte have pur- chased sites and will engage in business here, as the road reachos within about three miles of that place when extended from this point. Right-of-way has been secured from Verdigris to Spencer and the road {s definitely Jocated this far. The road will undoubtedly be extended from this place at some future date, perhaps this season, but just how far or in what diree- tion 1s known only to the officials having the matter in charge. This will make Spencer a good town, as the larger por- tion of the good agricultural lands of Boyd county s tributary thereto, besides the place 18 In the geographical center of the county and about due north from O'Nelll.

Household Dramas on which the Curtain is Drawn. The daily press makes us familiar enough with the scene in the drunkard's family in which the intoxicated man finding the meal not to hiis liking, thro it on the floor and proceeds to vent his temper by smashing crockery and furni- ture. This is pure tragedy to the abused and helpless family, and to the onlooker who through the windows of the press views the sad scene, Rut the (ll\il* pnl)er never has a word to say about thé sober and reputable man of family, who, in a fit of irritation, dashes to the floor or out of the window some dish not to his liking. The press doesn't tell because it doesn't know. Family pride and love draw the curtains of privacy closely about such es, and gl s only when the long suffering wife appears perhaps in the divorce court that the curtain is raised for a moment and reveals the miseries love has long hidden. This is not a fanciful case, There is many a good home haunted by this skeleton of unhap- piness; many a reputable business man whose home coming is both feared and dreaded. Toan outsider the sight of a man furiously throwing a dish of cake from the window, or savagely kicking a chair out of his way, would provoke a smile. But to those in the man's family his conduct provokes only tears. THE CAUSE OF IT ALL. 1t is not natural ill -temper or pure tneanness which makes a man so moody, sullen and irritable. The cause of his condition is generally to be found in d ease of the stomach, often involving the liver, kidneys or other organs. The surest and quickest cure for disease of the stomach and other organs of dige: tion and nutrition is found in the use of Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery. “Having seen the advertisement of our ‘Golden Medical Discovery,” and being a great sufferer from the effects of stomach trouble for the past eight years, I concluded to try your medicine,” writes Mr. W. A, Muxv«rfl. of Marshfield, Coos Co., Oreg. I had tried almost every known remedy, also consulted with the best medical skill attainable, but all with- out any relief. After reading one of your circulars I concluded to try one bottle of Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery, After taking one bottle I felt so relieved it induced me to continue. Am now on the fourth bottle, and have not had a spell of bloating or ‘acid stomach’ (Which was very painful) for the last six weeks. Before the use of your medi- cine I was in dread of every meal time, for in twenty minutes after eating I wonld be racked with pain. Indigestion was my principal ailment, and I have been also terribly afflicted with asthma, which I believe was brought on_through the medium of indigestion. Now, as I ated, after having used four bottles of your medicine, I have not had an attack of sour stomach or painful bloating, and my asthma has just about disappeared, In fact, I feel better now than for the last ten y As Iam largely known in New Mexico, Arizona, Colorado, Cali- fornia and Oregon, as a rather prosper- ous mining man, I thought these facts might be of some benefit to some of my acquaintances,” THYE WORST THING To DO The worst thing to do when the stom. ach is diseased and causes discomfort, such as belching or acidity, is to take ne of the many palliatives put up in the form of pills, tablets, powders, ete. These are not remedies for the disease, They only superficially change existing conditions. Allow that they "sweeten” the stomach, rele: the accumulated gas, check fermentation, etc. All this is only temporary. The diseased condi- tion of the stomach is untouched. Dis. ease never stands still, and therefore the stomach itself is getting worse instead of better. It is the result of the use of some of these numerous palliatives that men and women, when they have ex- hausted their little helpfll{ne.u. find themselves with an aggravated form of stomach “trouble.,” If these palliatives had not disguised and covered up the earlier symptoms, the people would lon, ago have sought an found a real cure. The moral is that if your stomach is "weak " or diseased don't trifle with trivial palliatives— get the medicine which cures disease of the stom- ach and other organs of digestion and nutrition, Dr. Pierce's Golden Med- ical Discover; “For three years I suf. fered untoid iy writes Mrs, H. R ite, of Stanstead, Stanstead Co., Quebec, Box 115, I would have npefl! of trembling and being sick at my stomach, pain in right side all the time; then it would work u into my stomach, and such distress it is impossible to describe. I wrote to the World's Dispensary Medical Association, stating my case to them, and they very promptly answered and told me what to do. } took eight bottles of Dr. Pierce Golden Medical Discovery, and five vials of Dr. Pierce's Pleasant Pellets. Thanks to Dr. Pierce and his medicine I am a well woman to-day. Dr, Pierce's medi cine also cured my mother of liver com- ylnml from which she had been a suf- erer for fifteen years, We recommend these medicines to all suffering people.” WHAT YOU MAY EXPECT. You may expect from the use of “Golden Medical Discovery” the same results which have followed its use in a multitude of other cases. You may expect that the stomach will be perfectly and_permanentely cured; that by the perfect digestion and assimi n of food the whole will receive new strength; that lost flu‘ will be ined. You may expect that if the disease of the stomach has involved the heart, liver, kidneys or other organs, that the disease of these organs will be cured with the cure of the stomach, Why may these things be expected? Because they are the common experience of those who have been cured by the use of "Golden Medical Discovery.” These experiences follow the law of ex- pectations, by which we naturally expect that an effect which has usually followed a given cause will not cease to follow it. y the same law you may expect “Colden Medical Discovery” to cure you, 1t hasa record of cures, covering nearly a third of a century. In ninety- eight cases out of every hundred it has perfectly and rrmlnently cured the dis- eases for which it is prescribed and rec- ommended. ‘Those who suffer from chronic diseases are invited to consult Dr. Pierce, by letter, /free.
