From the sentiments expressed by the vis
iting members of the state legislature yes
terday the Iowa School for the Deaf will
not be removed from Council Bluffs with
their approval, but, oft the contrary, they
will oppose any such proposition. The
unanimous sentiment of the visiting legis
lators was that there was no valid reason
why the Institution should be removed from
Its present location; that through the efforts
of Council Bluffs the appropriations for Its
support had been made and which had
brought it to Its present high standard and
that Justlv and properly the Institution
belonged to Council Bluffs and that here
It should rightfully remain.
The visiting state senators and repre
sentatives who had been Invited to Coun
cil Bluffs to Investigate for themselves
the conditions surrounding the school were
met on arrival by a committee from the
Commercial club and driven to the school
for the deaf, where they were shown over
the Institution by Superfntendent Rothert,
assisted by his son, E. H. Rothert. The
party was shown through the various
buildings and also afforded an opportunity
to witness the work of the pupils, much
of which was a revelation to the visitors,
who had never witnessed such before. Tho
visiting anions expressed themselves as
greatly pleased with their visit.
Banquet at the Grand.
On the return trip the visitors were
driven around by the two Institutions con
ducted by the Sisters of Mercy. St. Ber
nard's hospital for the care ot the Insane
and the new Mercy hospital. They were
shown through the buildings and on leav
ing had nothing but words ot the highest
praise for the two institutions.
On returning to the Grand hotel the vis
itors were the guests of the Commercial
club at dinner, served In the large dan
cing hall on the sixth floor. The guests of
honor, with the members of the club, num
bered 120, and were seated at five tables
the length of the hall.
After discussing an excellent menu Pres
ident Bender of the Commercial club intro
duced State Senator C. O. Saunders, who
made a short address of welcome. Letters
of regret at not being able to be present
were read from Lieutenant Governor Her
riott. Judge Smith McPherson and others.
Then came the principal address of the
evening by Charles M. Harl, who explained
the reasons why the school for the deaf
should not be removed from Its present
location, saying in part as follows:
Claims of the Blaffs,. 1 .
There is one subject which will command
your attention, m whlcn ihe cltlauns Ot
Council b.uiti will t.ki a SDe.lal ana
peculiar Interest. That is, a sulij.e appro.
prlatlon ior trie support of the Institution
tor the Deal and Dumb, located wllmn
our borders.
The Iowa Institution for th Deaf ami
Dumb, by reason ot its splendid manage
ment, has become one of the lo.emost in
stitutions of trie kind in tlie nation. Its
present efficiency la largely hanalcjpped by
nn imcm uennuciion or a numoer 01 its
Important buildings by tire. It will devolve
upon the coming legislature to make ap
propriation for tlie rebuilding ot these
structures, as well as (or the out rent needs
or tne inxuiuuon and we nope that ap
propriation will be compatible With tne
needs and importance of tne Institution.
There Is another matter connected with
this institution. In which the people of
Council Blurts are great, y Interested. A
suggestion has been made in some quarters
for its removal from council Biuifs, ana
in the report of the Board of Control, to be
submitted to the legislature, there Is some
criticism ot lta present kite. A circular
has been sent to the mom tiers of the gen
eral assembly, urging its removal to Des
Moines, upon an argument which would
ppiy to every institution of the state,
'his proposition has not as vet hen unrpri
by any organisation of responsibility or
influence; but it is perhaps proper that at
this time reference should be made thereto.
Of the nineteen Dublin Institutions of the
atate, Including the capltol, fifteen are lo

them in the extreme eastern part of the
stale, two on the Mississippi river, and two
In tht southeast corner ot the state and
none of them as readily accessible from all
parts of Iowa as the Institution for tho
f ana uuinu. 11 tne institution should
be put on wheels, It would certainly be

the Board of Control, are p.aced at a pres

valued at tou.lKuj. Thee buildings are of a
character to be practically useiess If the

ST. LOUIS. Mo., Jan. 4. City Counselor
Bates today. In an opinion transmitted to
Mayor Weils, finds that Circuit Attornty
Folk is only entitled to M.000 a year as
salary from the city. Prior to November,
1103, Mr. Polk was paid by the city treas
urer at the rste of $5.0"X per annum. The
question as to the amount arose from the
construction of a statute passed In It 1.
fixing the salury of the circuit attorney.
The then city counselor decided that thJ
act merely ground three salaries to which
the circuit attorney was entitled and there
fore did not rulae his salary. Under tills

drawing valary at the 5,000 rate.
Tho question arose a few months ago

paying Mr. Folk $!,0u0 per annum was not
contrary to thu charter provision that tlie
salary of 110 elective official shall bs In

Color of Hair Maid to ladlrate a Per.

Many people believe that blonds or lluht
hair denotes affection and dark hair con
stancy. A pirson without hair Is not do
void of character; far from It. The dis
position of the average bald-headed man
Is to show such solicitude for tha welfare
of others that he neglects himself. A germ
causes baldness. Prof. Sahouraud of Pari..

germs, causing It to become totally bald
in five weeks' time. To rid the scalp of
these dangerous germs It Is neceisary tj
