ter, tobacco and other goods. He also
made the mistake of carrying away with
him the key to the cash register, and this,
with the forty-eight pennies which he had
taken from the cash register, was found
on him. He admitted breaking Into the
tore, but denied that ho had any accom
plice. Shortly after midnight the police were
notified that the Hermsen grocery store
had been broken into, but at that time
there was no clew to the thief. Officer An
derson was on his . way to the railroad
yards, word having been sent to the police
station that some men were attempting to
break into a freight car. On Ninth avenue

saw the officer, started to run. Anderson

ent, lazed Bell with .stealing an overcoat
and the fellow finally admitted he had and
offered to take the officer to where he had
planted It. The offloer suspected that the
fellow's willingness to show where the coat

INCREASE IN SCHOOL FUNDS
Income from Lease of Laads Shows
Remarkable Growth Since
isirr.
PIERRE, 8." "b.T Nov. (Special. )-The
question of how long it will be until the
public schools of the state will be sup
ported by the state ichool fund alone Is
being discussed by the state press and
doubts expressed as to whether the state
fund will ever meet this vemand upon It
without a certain amount of local taxation.
That portion of the fund derived from the
leasing of school lands certainly shows a
healthy growth, having Increased from $28,
000 In 1F97 to 1128.000 In 191B.
The totals of the different years show the
steps which have been made In the Increase
of lease respites to the permanent school
fund for the past seven years: 1197. $28.
326.86; 1898, $48,602.08; 1899, tM.A20.69: 199, 171.
6S.38; 1902. 1112.308 94; inoj, 1127.941 13. This Is
practically an Increase of $100,000 in the an
nual receipts In seven years and this will
continue to Increase as the lease values
grow more valuable over the portion of
the state In which lands are yet held for
that purpose. Clay Is the only county In
which all state lands are sold and from
which no lesse money is derived.

REPORT ON THE MANEUVERS
Iniprotor General Prims Generally Com
mends the Iowa Guard Btgiment
FINDS SOME THINGS NOT SO PERFECT
Insurance Men Have Meeting ana
Decide Mot to Form Compact for
the Present, bat ta Look
After Legislation.
(From a Staff Correspondent.)
DES MOINES, Not. 1 (Special.) The
report of General John R. Prime. Inspector
of the Iowa National Guard, placed on file
with the governor yesterday commends the
Iowa regiment generally for its work done
at Fort Riley last month and makes some
mild criticisms on the things that were
neglected. General Prime had Instruc
tions to accompany the regiment and make
full report. In this report General Prime
gives detailed account of what was done
there. He states that the transportation
and mobilisation of the regiment at Coun
cil Bluffs waa directed and controlled by
tha adjutant general's department, "and
that this service was promptly and effici
ently performed waa evidenced by the fact
that the several companies of tha regiment
and the details from other regiments that
were assigned to them to complete their
required strength for this tour of duty
arrived at Council Bluffs on schedule time
and without accident, with the single ex
ception of the detail from Company E,
Fifty-third regiment, stationed at CTesco,
which missed connections on account of a
belated train, and did not join until the
regiment reached Fort Riley."
Regarding actual work at Fort Riley
General Prime states:
On Wednesday, October 21, the regiment
participated in its first maneuvers, which
consisted of a problem In defense of out-
post. The entire regiment with a platoon
or artillery neing posiea on ugaen nais
near the river as an outpost for an Imagi
nary attack by the Tenth United States
cavalry. The disposition of the several
battalions was well made and the location
of the cosack posts, supports and reserves
excellently chosen. The defense was well
maintained and successful. The only criti
cism I have to make being that in some
cases there was not proper fire control
on the part of company commanders and
that in one case Just before recall sounded
a, company unnecessarily exposed Itself In
retiring under fire.
Thursday, October 22, the regiment took
part In the deployment of the entire divi
sion. This was simply a movement to
demonstrate the facility with which the
different units of the organisation could get
Into position and did not Include any bat
tle exercises or contest with the enemy.
Friday, October 23, the regiment took
nart In the sixth nroblem. which was the
! principal Held maneuver during the week
ana inciunea a contest or an arms oi inn
service. The Third battalion, under Major
Hume, being detailed to support a battery
of artillery. The First battalion, under
Major Mentser commanding, and the Sec
ond battalion, Major Tlniey commanding,
under Colonel Uncoln, being engaged in
the extreme right of the Blue line.
Saturdav, October 24, occurred the review
of the entire division. Including all arms of
the service and transportation. This was
a most Imposing spectacle and the rerlment
acquitted Itself with credit. After the re
view the muster for the United States pay
occurred.
Sunday, October 26. divine service was
held bv Chaplain Walburn In the morning,
and the regiment mustered for state nay.
In the afternoon the regment received their
pav from the United States paymaster.
Up to this tyne the regiment In all ma
neuvers had been assigned ss part of the
Blue force and on the line of defense. . On
Monday, October 26. they were assigned to
the Brown force and took part In the at
tack on Fort Riley. In this maneuver
Colonel Lincoln commanded the provisions!
brigade, consisting of the Twenty-flffh
Ignited States Infantry and the Flfty-flfth
Iowa regiment, under command of Lieu
tenant Colonel Bennett. This maneuver
contemplated a general attack on Fort
Riley, but was called off before the final
Rssau't vas m'ide. During this maneuver
the Tjilrd bnttMlon was acting as rear
ruard until such time as the lines were
formed, when it was ordered to rejoin the
r"lment.
General Prime complimented the regi
ment on Its rendlness to get ready for
movements, etc.. and expressed entire
satisfaction with the commissary and quar
termasters' departments. In general he re
ported on the work done:
During the six days In which thev were
encsged In the maneuvers at Fort Riley. In
addition to drills and camp duties per
formed, the regiment marched about sixty
five miles or an average of about ten and
a half miles per day. 'The maximum dis
tance covered In one dav was approxi
mately eighteen miles. This, considering
the fact that they were in a measure un
seasoned troops. I think a very credltshH
record. There was little or no straggling,
and the men endured the fatigue of the
march and field work without complaint
and apparently without any physical in
jury, which Justifies the careful physical
selection which haa been made In recent
years for enlisted men In the Iown National
Guard.
Lacking la Some' Points.
While the regiment was In every way a
credit to the state and National Guard of
Iowa in all Its field work, it was greatly
larking In some points of Internal adminis
tration, notably in that of guard duty. This
Is the ranking duty that a soldier performs
and should receive the most careful atten
tion from regimental and company com
manders. The lack of the regiment In this
respect was ull the more conspicuous by
reason of Its efficiency In field service. It
being evident that little or no Instruction
had been received by companies at their
stations in this duty and the matter seemed
to have been entirely neglected by the com
manding officer in this ramp.
I also have occasion to call attention to
the fact that while the general appearance
of the camp was very gn'vt and the com
pany streets were generally well policed
that there was lack of proper cleanliness In
the tents themselves, and that a careful In
spection of the camp disclosed the fact
that proper supervision of the sanitation of
the quarters was not belug had by com
pany commanders. The kitchens were
fairly well fiollced after the second day.
which was due, no doubt, to frequent In
spections being urged upon company com
msnders. I also found that with the ex
ception of one or two companies the khaki
uniforms were In a very dirty condition.
The criticisms made, I think, cover the
weak points of the regiment. namely,
guard dutv. sanitation snd proper care of
the khaki clothing. The regiment was
most fortunate In having a commanding
officer, and both In staff, field and line, a
large percentage of officers who have had
actual field experience, and were thus well
qualified to command their several detach
ments In field operations, most of the offi
cers having seen service in the Spanish
American war. With the slight criticism
made it can be stated that the regiment
conducted Itself In a moat efficient and
creditable manner during the tour at camp,
as well as enroute. My observation of the
maneuvers as s whole and their value to
the service Is that they are a most valuable
and efficient school for officers. Aside from
the fact that the enlisted men learn some
thing aliout how to take care of them
selves on the march and In the field, there
Is very little advantage to them over the
instruction they receive at our state en
campments, but for the officer the oc
casion Is one that he ought not to fall to
profit by. as It gives him oDportunlties that
cannot be enjoyed by a limited state en
campment. I think there Is no possible
question about the value of these field
maneuvers. They not only afford everv
officer of the National Guard a wider field
of observation and experience, but bring
the National Guard and the regular army
Into closer relation, thua preparing the en
tire military forcea of the country to work
more understanding and harmoniously to
gether. In conclusion I desire to sav that every
possible courtesy was extended by the offi
cers of the army to the state representa
tives and officers of the National Guard
generally during this tour of duty. For the
adjutant general of Iowa and myself I de
sire to express personal obligations for the
many courtesies extended by the general
commanding and members of his staff.

A secret meeting of the leading and moat
aggressive Insurance agents and lnaurance
managers was held in Ies Moines the past
week, which was attended by a large num
ber of the leading Insurance men of the
state and attorneys Interested in Insurance
matters, and the meeting set out to form a
stats compact or club, but ended In no
such association being formed other than
In an entirely Informal way. The Insur
ance men resolved upon bending the most
of their energies the next four or firs
months to keeping the legislature straight
The ostensible purpose of the meeting waa
to form a state compact now that Judge
Smith. McPherson has decided that the
penalties of the state anti-compnet law are
non-enforceable. But after consultation It
was decided best not to form this compact
at present but to assist the committees
that have charge of legislation snd see to It
that the result of the success In the federal
courts Is not that more obnoxious legisla
tion Is passed. The case decided by Judge
McPherson will be appealed by the state
and will go to the higher court, as It In
volves a constitutional question on which
there Is desired the opinion of the supreme
Judges. The state officials believe that
Judge McPherson will be reversed and that
his decision will be declared not good. The
Insurance men do not feel at all certain
that his decision will be upheld, for the
decision waa rendered on a minor point and
did not directly touch the main question of
the right of the state to prevent the for
mation of comblnee to fix prices arbitrarily.
In the meantime the state auditor has rec
ommended a vast amount of Insurance leg
islation and some of It Is so fair that It
commends Itself to the people of the state
as eminently proper. It will be difficult
for the Insurance men to prevent the legis
lature from entering upon some general
legislation and In this Is certain to be In
cluded provisions for preventing the arbi
trary disposition of rates and commissions.
For the Insurance men to form a state
compact at this time would be to Invite
destruction, and so the matter haa been
postponed until after the legislature.
Charities and Corrections.
The sixth annual conference of charities
snd corrections for the state xf Iowa Is to
bs held here this week. It will be a nota
ble gathering of the persons who are Inter
ested In all charitable work or work relat
ing to the correctional institutions of the
state. Governor Cummins will deliver an
address of welcome and W. W. Baldwin
of Burlington will respond. The address of
the president Glfford 8. Robinson, will
he a notable one from the fact; that he Is
of the State Board of Control and haa been
officially concerned In the care of the wards
of the state. Ernest P. Blcknell of Chicago
Is on the program: also, Dr. Frank I. Her
rlott of the chair of economics of Drake;
Rev. W. H. Sllngerland of the Iowa Chil
dren's Home society; E. D. Brigham, state
labor commissioner, and others. A notable
discussion will be that on Indeterminate
sentences. A ' paper on this subject Is to
be read by Judge H. E. Deemer of the state
supreme court and It is to be followed by
a discussion by Judge Klnne of the State
Board of Control and Warden Hunter of
the Anamosa penitentiary. It Is a subject
which Is coming to be much discussed In
this state.
