THE OMAHA DA ILY "BEE: TUESDAY. SEPTEMBER 29, 1908 CURRENT NEWS OF IOWA. COUNCIL CAMPAICN FO_R_ EDUCATION Beries of Maectings to Be Held in Every County in Btate of Iowa PULPIT CALLED ON TO AID THE EFFORT Xdea, Which ix Fathered by Stete Teachers' Association, is to Get the Schools and Publiec Into Closer Touch. Bteps to carry Into effect the movement for an educational campaign throughout the state of lowa started at the last an- nual meoting of the Iowa State Teachers' assoctation in Des Moines are being taken. At & meeting of the association a number of prominent educators throughout the state suggested such a movement and committee of which Prof. ¥. BE. Palmer, superintendent of the Jefferson schools is president, was appointed to carry it out. County Superintendent McManus yesterday recelved the following circular letter from Buperintendent Palmer, which in a great measure explains itself. You are asked to take charge of this movement in and for your county, using your own Judgment in regard to the best methods of securing the Interest and co- operation of both teachers and patrons in the ‘meetings growing out of this move: ment. We would suggest that on Bunday, No- vember 15, the ministers of the several churches of your county preach a sermon on some toplc connected with the work of education. In this way not only will the meetings of November 2) be emphasized, but many people will be reached who will not 'attend other meetings. 1t 18 also suggested that if possible the issue of the uEfic press for the week of November 20 Be Umed”to bring before the peaple the needs and demands of the public schools. You are urged to accept this work and we hope you will be able to arouse a new interest in the work of the public schools in your county. The people cannot be (oo much concerned about the weifaro of the children of Towa and about the work that thelr teachers are doing. Try in some way to interest every director, not neglecting both parents and teachers. In compliance with the request contained in the letter County Buperintendent Mc- Manus contemplates arranging for a num- ber of meetings in the several school dis- tricts throughbut the county on the date named, at which matters of gene: est to the patrons, puplls and teachers of the schools will be discissed. Prof. Mo- Manus will also confer with the several ministers of the city and endeavor to have them preach on November 15 on some edu- mational topic, such as “The Value of an {Education From a Monetary and Soelologi- /1al Standpoint” or such other theme as the ninister himself may sugges One of the principal ideas of having these heetings throughout the state as suggested by the State Teachers' assoclation is to bring the patrons of the schools, especially those in the rural distriets, in closer touch with the schools and the teachers. An- other object in view is to secure more ocmmensurate compensation for the teach- ers in_the rural districts, Dr. Meholson, who is & prominent tactor in this movement, is one of the leading educators of lowa and @& professor in Mount Vernon college.

August Doerner, whose troubles in get- ting married and since his marriage have been aired in the local courts, blames the parents ot his young wife for all. 8o well is he imbued with this idea that yesterday he filed original motices of two sults in the district court against Mr. and Mrs. Julius Korgan, the parents of his wife, for dam- ages aggregating 335,000 In the first suit he asks for $25,000 dam- ages, alleging that Mr. and Mre. Julius Korgan have alienated the affections of his wite, formerly Lena Korgan. Young Doerner's wife recently had him arrested on a charge of threatening to kil her, which resulted in Doerner being bound over in the sum of $300 to keep the peace. Im- mediately following . this action Mrs- Doerner began sult for divorce in the dls- trict oourt, alleging cruel and Inhuman treatment. In the second suiSyoung Doerner asks for $10,000 damages alleging that his arrest last January on a charge of insanity, preferred against him by the Korgans, was malicious, wilful and for the purpose of depriving him Gt his liberty. The commissioners for the insane after investigating the case decided that Doerner was not insane and discharged him, In the first sult Doerner's attorney files @ len of §12,000 for his contemplated ser- vices, and in the second a lien of 35,000, Street Fair Pays Well. ‘The Council Bluffs street fair and carnival was as great a financlal success this year @s It was in 1902, This is demonstrated by the balance sheet struck last night at the meeting of the committee which had it in charge.

The gase of W. B. Cuppy against his wife, Busan A. Cuppy which, owing to the prom- | inence of the parties concerned, has at- | tracted more than ordinary interest in the east end of the county, was brought to & close yesterday by both parties agreeing to & compromise decree. The case has been on trial before Judge Thornell, and by the decree John Hazen, former sheriff of Pottawattamle county is wppointed permanent guardian for W. B. Cuppy, in place of his wife who was ap- pointed 'such about a year ago, and which was not satistactory to the nearest of kin of Cuppy, as they alleged that immediately upon her appointment she wholly deserted and failed to provide for him. + In adaition the decres provides that Mrs. LEWIS CUTLER = Peart o, Sounsil Blais.

In consideration for this Cuppy on his part dismissed the action to set aside & certain deed by which he con- veyed all of his property to his wife. main point, however, at lssue was over the appointment of A permanent guardian, and friends of Cuppy who were interested in bringing the action to set aside the deed claim their attack in this direction was merely a flank movement to force the ap- pointment of a guardian other than Mrs. Cuppy.

DES MOINES, Sept. 2.—(Special)—The State ballot commission, consisting of the attorney general, auditor of state and sec- retary of state, convened again this morn- ing for the purpose of taking up the sen- sational contest case from the/Bremer-But- ler senatorial district. The nomination pa- pers of W. N, Larkin, who had been regu- | larly nominated, were on file, and also a protest from E. W. Soesby, the rival candi- date, against permitting Larkin's name on the ballot. Both Soesby and Larkin were | present. Soesby was also accompanied by | Benator Craig, the present senator from the | district, and they were prepared to make an | argument to show that the nomination of Larkin was fraudulent and not entitled to recognition, Mr. Larkin stated that he had not received the notice in time to get his evidence ready, and the case was put off until Friday next. Mr. Larkin will pro- duce the original ballots which were cast, and show that they actually were cast for Larkin, while Soesby has the sworn afida- vits of the majority of the delegates that ot one of them voted for Larkin, County Auditors May Asse A hint has been given the county auditors in those countles where there has been some controversy over the assessment of certain telegraph lines along the Burling- ton rallroad, that they are in duty bound to place on the assessment books the assess- ment of the telegraph line. The line is owned by the Burlington rallroad, but leased to the telegraph company. When the state executive council came to this question, the property was assessed to the | telegraph company, as it was found that the contract between the railroad company and the telegraph company made the lat- ter llable for the taxes, Then the telegraph company enjoined the state officlals from giving official notice to the county auditors of the amount of the assessment. It is now given out that despite this, some of the county officers, acting under their au- thority, will place on the assessment books the assessment as It was made or as it was last year, and proceed to collect. The countles affected are: Adair, Adams, Cass, Clarke, Decatur, Des Moines, Dubuque, Fremont, Henry, Jefferson, Lucas, Marion, Mills, Monroe, Montgomery, Page, Polk, Pottawattamie, Ringgold, Taylor, Union, Wapello, Warren and Wayne. The amount of the assessment in dispute 1s $57,000, Will Restore the Trainse, The Rock Island raflroad has decided up- on replacing on the branch lines the pas- senger trains that were taken off some time ago as a matter of economy.

FIREBUGS BUSILY AT WORK Flames Btarted in Oellars of Five Fiat Houses in New York, CHURCH ALSO DESTROYED BY FIRE Scores of Policemen in the Dress of Citizens Are Now Dngaged in an Effort to Oapture the Miscren; NEW YORK, Sept. started In the cellars of as many flat houses in Harlem during Sunday by in- cendiaries. In each case it was found upon In- vestigation kerosene had been used to haster: the work of the flames. Hundreds of lives were imperiled and property worth thousands of dollars endangered. The burning early Sunday morning of the church of the Archangel In St. Nicholas avenue also is belleved to have been the work of firebugs. When the rumor of fire- bugs spread through the eastern section of Harlem, where all the fires were discovered, terror prevalled among the flat dwellers, Scores of policemen In citizens dress are now at work in the district, but no trace of the miscreants has yet been secured. In some cases it was found that old mattresses had been dragged into the base- ment of a building, soaked with kerosene and fired. Robbery is the only possible explanation. Fire early today in a five-story bullding at 27 Fifth avenue caused a panic among a dozen persons who were asleep there. The blaze started on the second floor and spread upward so quickly that the Inmates fled to the roof, from where they were able to reach the roof of the Reform club next door. All escaped injury in this way, although much valuable property was left behind. Several artists had quarters in the bufld- ing and quite & number of valuable paint- ings undoubtedly were lost. Beveral canvases were carried out by thelr owners, who left their clothing behind. THREE BROTHERS ARE TO DIE Stepmother Makes Last Unsucce Avpenl to Sqve Their Lives. tal ALBANY, N, Y., Sept, 28.—Mrs. Van ‘Wormer, step-mother of the three brothers who are to be executed at Clinton on Thursday, called at the executive chambers today to make a final uppeal in behalf of her step-sons. Governor Odell declined to see her, on the ground that he had fully considered the case and that an interview would be only useless pain to both, Mrs. Van Wormer accepted his decislon as final and will re- turn to Kinderhook this & fternoon. ‘Warden George Dye of the Clinton prison, ‘who has the execution in personal charge, will not say, even If he has decided, iIn what order the brothers are to die, but he declares that there will be one set of wit- nesses, and the work will be done with all possible expedition. The witnesses have been instructed to meet at the warden's office at 11:15 a. m. The execution is to take place at or about noon, and probably will not consume more than twenty minutes, Much thought has been given to seeking & means of separating the three, so that none of them would know when either of his brothers was taken to the chalr, or ‘whether himself was first to go, but the arrangements of the prison and the location of the death house makes this impossible, as to conduct the condemned men through any corridor of the main prison would un- doubtedly hrow the other prisoners into an uproar, It has beon determined, therefore, 1o place the three in the successive cells on one side of the corridor in the death housa nearest the door of the execution room and remove theth in that order to thelr death, The condemned prisoners bear well the ordeal of suspense. SPANISH WAR VETERANS MEET They Are Clad in Blue and Gray, Emblematic of North and South, NEW HAVEN, Conn., Sept. 8.—Clad In uniforms of blue and gray, emblematic af the reunion as comrades of men formerly separated by sectional strife, 1,000 soldiers of the Spanish-American war marched in parade today as a preliminary to the open- ing of the fourth annual assembly of the National Army and Nayy Spanish War veterans. They were reviewed by veterans of the Grand Army of the Republic, state and city officlals and by President Hadley of Yale university. The first assemblage of the day aside from the many Informal gather- ings, was that of the councll of ad- ministration which met at the New Haven house. 5 Reports of work accomplished during the year were sumitted to the council and were referred to the convention for acceptance. As regards finances, the assoclation was declared to be In good condition with no debts and with a considerable balance in hand. The amount expended for rellef work by the various commands and corps during the year was nearly $100,000. In the organization of new commands some trouble has been experienced by reasons of the fact that there has been an offort to amalgamate the Spanish War veterans with the Spanish-American War veterans and other llke organizations.
