Tho report of Chairman Cooper of tho
finance committee, recommending the
amounts needed In tho different funds to
bo certified up to the Board of Countv
Supervisors, brought up tho old matter of
reducing expenses by dispensing with tho
assistants and compelling tho principals of
tho different buildings to tench a class the
entlro day. Chairman Cooper recommended
tho following amounts for tho several funds
Teachers' fund, $55,000; contingent fund,
$22,000; school houso fund, $10,020. Tho
amount for tho teachcri' fund was con
sidered too small by some of tfie mombers
and Member Sargent moved to amend the
report by making tho amount $65,000. This
brought on tho discussion nnd Members
Stowart and Cooper both spoko In favor of
reducing expense.? by compelling tho princi
pals to teach all day, Instead of half a day,
as they do under tho present system. This
would do away with tho need of the as
sistants and according to Stewart's figures
make a saving of between $7,000 and $8,000
por annum. Cooper further suggested that
a saving could bo made by dispensing with
tho superintendent of kindergartens, unless
the principals were- employed In teaching,
On being put to a vote, Sargent's amend
ment failed to carry, and then anothor
amendment, making tho amount $00,000, was
offored, and this carried.

Probability tlint tlie- Iowa Statesman
Will He Given Second I'lnee.
DUBUQUE, la April 17. Senator Alli
son Is home for tho week. When seen to
night ho said, regarding tho story of tho
probability of his being McKlnloy's running
mate, that ho had no knowlmgo whatovor of
such Intention and that there was probably
no foundation for tho Btory. Ho says that
legislation la in such condition now that
congress will very likely adjourn about tho
middlo of June.
Senator Allison's candidacy for the vlco
presidency was given to tho public In tho
following dispatch from Walter Wellman to
the Chicago Tlmca-Herald:
Senator Allison will bo the republican
vlco presidential candldnto this year If he
will nccopt the honor. The senior senator
from Iown Is President McKlnley's Ilrst
cholco for a running mate and If Senator
Allison Indicates a willingness to serve his
party In this rolo he wlil be unanimously
named at Philadelphia two months hence.
President SIcKlnley and his advisers in
the ndmlnlstratlon hope Senator Allison
will consent, but ns yet they have had no
opportunity to learn his wishes. The sena
tor Is In Iowa and is not expected to re
turn for several days. The president Is go
Ing nway Thursday morning, so it is not
probable he and Senator Allison will have
a chance to talk tho matter over for more
than a week yet.
Tho vlco presidency is right In lino with
Mr. Allison s career and It Is an ofhee to
which his temperament well adapts Itself.
Ho Is now the leader of tho republican
party In the senate and such he would con
tinue to bo If promoted to the vlco presi
dency. An idenl vice president Is dignified, amica
ble, of lino address, a leader of men
through his wisdom, his moderation, his
friendships, his faculty for making peace
and securing harmony aud action out of
discord und chaos. This describes William
B. Allison to a nicety.
If Senator Allison positively declines It
Is believed the man next In favor Is Sena
tor Wolcott of Colorado. His name has
been under consideration In administration
circles for Borne days. Jdr. Wolcott Is a
good campaigner and if nominated would
make a tour of the country. A great effort
Is to bo made to reclaim somo of the far
western states which left the republican
party 011 tho silver question and It Is be
lieved Mr, Wolcott could materially assist
In this effort.

THE HEALTH HABIT.
Just ns Knsy to Form ns Any Other.
We do not deliberately form our pet hab
its, but thoy aro unconsciously ncqulred and
grow as we grow, and by tho time wo learn
they aro hurting us, wo find them to strong
to bo easily broken.
Thon, why not form a good habit, a habit
which will counteract tho many bad ones,
In other words contract the unfashionable
habit of being always well,
Tho best health habit to get Into Is to
havo and keep a vigorous stomach; If you
havo a healthy digestion you can drlng your
beloved coffee, smoko your favorite brand of
tobacco, with little or on harm; tho mis
chief begins when theso things are forced
upon tho faithful stomach, without any as
sistance. Form tho habit of taking after meals some
konino. nfllrlpnt dleestlvo which will
relievo the stomach of so much extra work.
Nature furnishes us with such digestives
and when thoy are combined In such a pleas
ant preparation ns Stuart's Dyspepsia Tab-
lota, they give tno overworKi siomacn jusi
lstance to securo perfect di
gestion without any of tho harmful effects of
cathartic! nnd similar arugs,
Tho habit of taking Stuart's Dyspepsia
Tablets after meals Is aa noccasary to the
weak stomach as food Itself, and Indeed to
get the benefit from food eaten, nothing
better and certainly nothing safer can be
used.
Many famllleo consider Stuart's Tablets as
essential In tho houso as knives and forks.
Thn riBlt nntlrelr of natural dlECStlve
principles without the effect or characteris
tics of drugs; they nave no catnartic action,
but alrai)ly go to work on the food eaten and
digest It. . I
Take Into account your bad habits and
tho expense they entail and then invest fifty
in n hnv nf Stuart's Dvinonsla Tablets
nnd seo It your digestion for the next month
is not vastly Improved.
