At the suggestion and recommenda- | tion of Superintendent Clifford the board authorized the graduation of two classes each year, the commencement exercises to be held at the end of the firet semester, which 1s usually in the latter part of Jan- uary or the beginning of February, and the other as heretofore, in June, at the close of the school year. It was explained that by having two graduating cldsses pupils who eiter the high school at the close of the first semester will not be obliged to either take the four years' course in three and a half years, thereby having, as a rule, to study in the summer to catch up with their lessons, or | to stay four and a half years to complete the entire course in order to graduate. Under the new system the puplls who enter the high school at the end of the first semeater will graduate in January or Feb- ruary, as the case may be, and these who enter at the beginning of the school year in September will graduate In Jume, as | neretotore. Superintendent Clifford stated that he be- [ lieved the new system would be an ln- centive to puplls to remain in the school ungil they graduated. It Is also eaid he belleved it would inspire the pupils to better work. At present those puplls whose four years expire at the end of the first semester have no inspiration to study for the remaining second semester until they graduate, as they have completed their course of study at the end of the firnt semester. The new system will not affect the class which will graduate next June, byt in 1904 there will be a class of from twenty to thirty which will graduate at the emd of the first semester, Cut-0ft Children Want Facilities. Another important matter before the board was the application of children in Cut-Off, the portion of Council Blufts on the other side of the river, to be given high school privileges. A number of puplls in that section of the city have completed the grades and now desire the benefits of a high school education. They have been denied admission to the high school in Omaha, except on payment of tuition, and they are practically preciuded from attend- | ing the high school in this city, owlng to the distance and roundabout way they would have to travel in order to get to Council Bluffs. No action was taken last night beyond referring the matter to Presi- dent Sargent to investigate. Treasurer Davis' annual régort for the | year énding September 15 shbwed a bal- ance in the teachers' fund of #5,337.77, and that $71,869.99 had been paid to the teachers during the year; balance Im the school house fund, $5,159.36, and in the contingent fund, $2,486.36. During the year $3,247.49 had been expended on free text books. Miss Ollie Harl was elected a teacher to {11 & vacancy in the Harrison Street school, {and Miss Ollle Beecroft to fill & vacancy in | the Washington Avenue building. The contract for transporting pupils from the Clark Street school district to and from the Plerce Street school was awarded to J. E. Butler at $1.50 a day. Richard James se- cured the contract at the same rate for trosporting the children of the Woodbury Avenue school to and from the Third Street school. The Southwestern Iowa Teachers' assocla- tion was given the use of the high school auditorium for its three-day meeting, Oc- tober 29, 30 and 31.

CRESTON, Ta., Sept. 16.—(Special.)—~The prohibitionists of Union county have thrown a bomb shell into the ranks of the re- publican party by announcing the name of Judge W. M. Rowel of Afton, as a candidate for the office of county attorney upon their ticket. Judge Rowel has always been counted a stalwart republican and has never betore been identified with the prohibition- ists, having served as county attorney and in other positions under the republicans and being a delegate to the republican county convention -this fall. While there is no show for his election in this county, his candidacy is quite a surprise to the politi- clans. Helps Out the Corn. CRESTON, Ia, Sept. 15.—(Speeial.)-— Everything now points to a bumper crop of corn for this county where last week it looked very blue for the farmers. The heavy frosts of the last few nights have not only mot injured the corn, but have proven quite a benmefit to it in that it has husried the ripening and dried up many of the stalks until now much of the corn is out of danger of further frost. 1t your food does not digest well, a few doses of Prickly Ash Bitters will set mat- ters right.

No arrangements Lave yet been made for any gift to the cruiser by the city of Des Molines, but this will be attended to before the vesscl is ready for commission. Fail to Report Work Children. The state labor commissioner is finding it dificult to secure statistics regarding the children at work in factories in Iowa. Bmployers and managers are reluctant to give In the names of those under 14 who are at work in such factories. The labor commissioner has the authority to direct that children shall not be employed with or near machinery that he considers dan- gerous to them, and the managers of large factorles are complaining that there is danger of interference with their plans | It such children are ordered out of the factories. Complaint s also recelved from school board secretaties, who are trying to find out how many children are em- ployed In factories, with a view to apply- ing (he cowpulevry education iaw. Thus far the reports have been meager, and it is probable that amendments to the law will be urged that the reports may the more certainly be secured. Runaway Car Colliston. A loaded flat ¢ar on the electric street raflway became unmanageable at the top of the Tenth street hill today and ran to the toot of the hill. A loaded street car of passengers was coming up the hill and a collision was seen to be inevitable. The passengers could pot get off as the gates were closed andthey were almost frantic. But thg motorman on the loaded freight car stood at his'post and saved the cars from a frightful smash-up by partially holding the car back. The workmen on the runaway car jumped and saved them- selves. Horse Show Opens.

Both ltve at MOVEMENT FOR NEW PART try Into a Gigantic Semi-Political Org tion, CHICAGO, 111, Sept. 15.—A movement for enlisting the hosts of workingmen through- out the United States Into a seml-political organization has been launched In this city, says the Post. A platform sald to embrace the economi- cal and political ideas of labor leaders and covering the whole labor situation has been prepared and will be presented first for ap- proval next week before the Chicago Fed- eration of Labor. The platform demands the abolition of the so-called political machine, the establish- ment of government primaries where votes may be cast “for nominees as citizens and not as members of a machine,” and the initiative and referendum. It favors the right of recalling representatives who are out of touch with voters. Relief from the trusts is suggested in the plan for “the pas- sage of an amendment to the practice laws of every state and the federal government under which litigants may bring up, in any sult in which a corporation fs the plaintift or defendant, the quéstion of its right to its franchise, whether it has usurped power not given it under statute and whether it has forfeited its powers.” This method, it s urged, would be productive of more good than the institu- tion of suits by federal district attorneys. Vigllance committees' in every large city are favored to see that the laws are impartially administered. The elght- bour day, sanitary conditions, living wages, the repeal of the laws limiting the llabili- ties In personal injury suits, the supplying of free text books to all chldren in the lower grades of public schools and the abolition of convict labor in competition with free men are demanded. Limitation on the injunction powers of Judges is asked and the popular election of federal judges and senators is suggested. In all eivil triale majority verdicts are de- sired. The plan favors the government in- stead of banks Issuing all kinds of money and it is suggested that private indivduals be driven from banking busine Laws are demanded rostricting ‘the issue of capital stock, bonds and securities to any greater extent than the actual property owned by corporations. Public ownership of public utilities 1s desired and state In- surance and provisions for old age are ap- proved. Ohild labor is decried and educa. tional aids and trade unionism to keep up wages are approved. In closing the plat- form reads: In order to bring about a state of har- mony instead of = constant discord, the Yorkingman must look for relief at the | ballot box. Here, where the will of the people Is supreme, the remedy lies at hand and must be taken advantage of. Work- ingmen must undertake to govern, as well as toll, and in that way they will get Justice.
