McDonough, BLUFFS. EDUCATORS COME IN FORCE Attendance on Opening Day of Convention i3 Unexpeotedly Large. DR, STORMS DELIVERS INTERESTING TALK President Wheeler in His Annual Ad. dress Touches on Manual Train- i Retter Pay for Teachers and Several Other Toples. Indications are that the attendance at this year's ‘meeting of the Bouthwestern Iowa Teachers' assoclation, which opened last evening, will be a record breaker. The enroliment last evening passed the 350 mark, which, after 144 local teachers are deducted, shows tHat over 200 teachers from out of the city had registered. This Is an unusually large. enrollment for the first day, but it Is expected It will be doubled by noon today. Among the early arrivals yesterday after- noon were Hon. R, C. Barrett, state super- intendent of instruction; President Homer H, Beerley of the state normal school at Cedar Falls; Buperintendent H. E. Wheeler of Shenandoah, president of the assoclation; President A. B, Storms of the state agri- cultural college at Ames. Hon. George D. Perkins of the Sloux City- Journal, who will address the meeting this morning, arrived last filght. Fact of Personality. The feature of the opening last night was the address of President Storms of Ames college, who took as his subject, ‘“The Fact ot Personality,” saying in part: The definition of personality is not only the first and final business of life for every man, but the definition of manhood and womanhood is the final test, as It is the supreme spiritual achievement of every age. The capacity for character and for the discrimination of character is the highest human powers. The definition ot personality must be written anew {h each age, holding what has been found solid and true in the t. Every age must for itself carry the finition {0 new expression. Here in the central west of America we have a new type of civilisation, & new political ideal, & new conception of the worth of man, a new democracy. A new definition of a man must be found, and the definition has come. Let us say it reverently, “God Almighty has here on the soll of 'the Mississippl and Missouri bottoms a magnificent experiment station for developing a new specles of the genus homo,” Let us say it reverently, "It Is & dangerous experiment.” Real rugged men may do Immense mischief. Buch powers as have come into the hands of these western men have never before heen enfrusted to mortals. at Paine said of philosophy we fay with deeper meaning of religion. that without spiritual faith the sclentist Is a maere m and a) ler, Only as men are haunt a heavenly vision can they become sucos 'ul workers in clay, And so these sturdy builders of our west: ern civilization have from the first esteemed knowledge and faith. These men bullt school houses with seduls ‘with prophetic insight as da has come that this terril come & 1and of schools and churches, anc ‘we must feel that in this high con top of the worth of men we are reading the pur- pose of Favors Manual Tralning. President Wheeler, in his opening address, touched on a number of topics of interest to teachers and patrons of the public schoais. He spoke In favor of manual training in the schools. The introduction of manual treining In the schools, he sald, had come In answer to the demand for more practical education, and though it was still in a somewhat expbrimental stage, it would, he belleved, find its way In a more or less compl form into all the schools, both eity and rural. He also ad- vocated the ‘“schiool garden,” as being a delightful and useful kind of work. Regarding the agitation for better salaries for teachers he said: d all others interested, have to easéd over the made In securing better salari: ers, especlally In the rural ools, It true that this progress has n somewhat slow, but in several counties in Towa whole township: now paying higher salaries T two . And this what will be done if it be. past were, & pe enroliment. This scarcity will fome (o & very exten lem solved when ter wages are the term for which teac el tended. Buch wuges, | as will compare favorably with tho‘e-rld‘ in other professions and in the industrial lines. And the term for which they are allowed to contract should not be shorter than one year and & gerlod of two or even three years would be ter. Compulsory Attendamce Law Faulty. President Wheeler does not consider the compulsory school attendance law entirely satisfactory, and In referring to it said: 1 beljeve I vofee the sentiments of many when I say the present compulsory school attendance law, though it has accomplished something, is very imperfect and should receive attention at the hands of our law- makers this winter, 1 belleve it should be so amended that the people not omly may know just what it_means, but be able to enforce it as well. Some of our sister states are better off than we are in this regard. And personaily I should like io see the age iimit extended to the pupil's 16th birthday and the term of attendance iner to twenty-four consecutive weeks, beginning the first Monday in September, or as soon thereafter as possible. Would it not be a great boon, to the child. dren of lowa If they were ndot allowed to enter school until they were § years old? An amendment to the school law to this effect, it seems to me, will be a great step in the right direction. In concluding President Wheeler spoke briefly In favor of the consolidation of the rural schools. He said in part: In so many parts of Iowa the rural schools are %o poorly attended and so meagerly equipped that their continuance seems 1o a_ farce. Buch communities should, it appears 1o me, vote most heartily for consolidation and transportation to a central school. All over this state children are leaving the district school to continue their education in the town or city, whers they can secure the kind of training most nesded to them for life. Beveral pfeasing musical numbers were given during the evening by Miss Porter- fleld, superintendent of music in the Coun- cil Bluffs schools, and a quartet consisting of Misses Barr and Porterfield and Messrs. Guild and Haverstock. The meeting was opened by prayer by Rev. W. J. Stratton, pastor Broadway Methodist church. Prof. W. H. Bender of the State Normal school will, owing to iness in his family, be unable to be here and take charge of the roundtable on *“Methods.’” President Beerley of the Btate Normal school will take his place. The conference or round- table meetings will begin this morning at 10 o'clock. At the open meeting this morn- ing Hon. George D. Perkins of Sloux City will address the teachers on “Shortcomings of Modern Education.” Plumbing and heating. Bixby & Son. Make Free with Diners. For several months the Chicago & North- ‘western raliroad has been missing portions of the equipment ef its dining cars which lald over in the yards here. It is sald that within the last six months goods valued at over §1,000 have been stolen from the dining cars. Investigation led to the suspicion that systematic thieving was being carried on by the gang of night ear cleaners and yesterday afternoon search warrants for the homes of the men sus- pected were Issued from the court of Jus- tice Ouren on application of E. E. Stark, special officer of the railroad company. As & result of the search made by the officers Bterling Forrest, 1511 Avenue G; Charles and James Brownlee, 618 North Ninth street; James Luce, 1006 Avenue H; George Nelgres, 8156 Avenue E, and George Neimen, 719 Fourth street, were placed under arrest. They are all car cleaners and employed on the night shift. ‘While the ralifoad has been missing goods from the dining cars for several months, specific charge is made of the theft on Ootober 17 of linen, dishes, cigars, lquor, pillows and articles of clothing belonging to the car crews A considerable portion of the stolen goods was recovered by the of- flcers as a result of search warrants and it is expected that a further search will result In the unearthing of more.

PROPERTY IS HOLDEN-FOR THE MULCT TAX State Receives Money from Poweshiek County Estate for Which No Legal Helrs Could Be Lecated, ’ (From a Staft Correspondent.) DES MOINES, Oct. 22.—(Special)~The Des Moines Police and Fire commission this morning held a meeting and passed a resolution demanding a complete inves- tigation into the alleged police scandals and the connectfon of the constables and other officers with the disreputable ele- ments of the city. The commission offered to assidt the grand jury in making an In- vestigation. The grand jury has as yet taken no action, but accusations are being freely made against the police department of taking money from persons for protec tion In lllegal lives. On the other hand, an investigation is also being made into the conduct of certain constables and oth- ers of the city. It Is generally believed that an exposure of police methods can only be averted at this time by the refusal of officlals to do thelr duty. The opinion has prevalled for some time that there was corruption in eity affairs and the ac- cusations have come from sources that are not given to unwarranted action. The city officials are deflant and declare that noth- ing can be proved against them and they therefore invite investigation. Method of Collecting Taxes. The supreme court today indorsed as legal and proper the method of collecting the mulct tax on clgarette sales and de- cided that an assessment of the tax to the owner of the property where sales are made is legal. The cigarette makers ap- pealed the case from Muscatine involving some_points different from the Marshall- town case. The cigarette trust relied chiefly on the claim that this method of collecting the tax was not by due process df law. “The unreasonableness of the act,” says the court today, “is not a matter for our consideration. There is nothing arbitrary in & statute which provides for the collection of a tax by summary proccss. Such pro- ceedings are necessary to secure prompt payment. Such existed long before the constitution was framed and are in accord with the law of the land.” Insurance Company Suits, In the case of Cameron against Mutuai Lite and Trust the court was called to pass on the jurisdiotion of ;a court in cases against an insurance company. The plaintiff has placed certain shares of stock In the Home Bavings and Trust com- pany of Des Moines, in the hands of W, W. Ames to be converted into a Life and Trust company policy of Insurance . and then sued In Cedar Raplds to recover $138.80 pald. The company claimed that the suit should have been brought at Des Molnes, the office of. the company but the court holds that the insurance laws give jurisdiction in such cases wherever the contract of insurance is made.

Encheat of an Hstate, Only occasionally is there an estate found in lowa where there are no heirs to be found, but today the treasurer of the state recelved a draft which included the pro- ceeds of the sale of & farm m Poweshiek county, for which no owners were found. This was the estate of James Keefe, who dled in 155, The estate was placed in the hands of Frank Beckley as administrator, and he having gone through the required process of trylng to find the heirs the prop- erty, consisting chiefly of twenty-four acres of land, was sold and today the state was made richer by 3107633 The last escheat was about two years ago and was a very small sum. Institut 141 The three members of the State Board of Control returned to thelr office at noon to- day, after being out in the northern part of the state on the semi-annual trip to the varfous state institutions. They visited Anamosa, Independence, Cherokee, Daven- port, Vinton and Marshalltown. ‘They re- port they found the state Institutions in this part of the state In excellent condition and ready for the winter. There is a short- age of potatoes at some of the institutions where there have usually been an abund- ance of vegetables, The corn crop s good at Independence and Davenport, but at the corn is poor. The board was accompanied by the st architect and one purpose was to decide on permanent improvements that are to be next bullt at the institutions. Secures n Fine Relle. Curator Charles Aldrich of the state his- torical department today received from Mrs, Ex-Governor C. C. Carpenter of Fort Dodge & relic that he has added to his splendid museum with great pleasure. This is the rifie that was carried by her brother, Willlam Burkholder, when he was killed on the expedition against the Indians near gpirit Lake in 1867, Mr. Burkholder and one other soldler were killed and eleven years afterward thelr bones were found bleaching on the prairie. The only way the bodies could be identified was by the rifies at thelr sides. The rifie carried by Mr. Barkholder was given to the wite of the governor and she had kept it until this time. It is a heavy rifie of large calibre, and it shows the marks of its long ex-| posure. Burkholder was a brilllant young man, and at the time he joined the fa- mous expedition against the Indians he had Just been elected treasurer and recorder of the county.
