rise of One Destroyed
' by Fire.
"Senate has just approved report of com
mittee this ends removal," wss the text
of a telegram received yesterday morning
by Secretary Reed of the Commercial club
from Senator Saunders at Dea Moines. The
action on the part of the senate In approv
ing the report of the committee nn appro
priations puts an end to the fight for the
removal of the. Behoof for the Deaf from
Council Bluffs and will mean the erection
of a new $250,000 building at the Institute to
replace that destroyed by fire two years
ago.
While the Commercial club and the busi
ness men of the city generally united their
energies in the fight to retain the school
here against great odds, it Is conceded
that but for the splendid work done by
Senator Saunders and Representatives Mar
tin and Freeman, the fight would probably
have been In vain.
One admitted factor in the aettlement of
the fight in favor of Council Bluffs was the
proposed new electrlo line to be constructed
by the Council Bluffs, Tabor &. Southern
railroad, which will pass through the
grounds of the institute and give the school
street car connection with the city.
A number of telegrams were received
yesterday congratulating the Commercial
club on its victory, one among the number
being a personal one to Secretary Reed,
as follows: "Accept congratulations. They
cannot down Council Bluffs."

WANTED FOR A CLEVER SWINDLE.
John ST. Franklin Gets Wedding; Por
tion by sv Trick.
John N. Franklin, claiming to be a mer
chant from Pierre, 8. D., and who waa mar
lied in this city last Monday to Anna G.
Stewart of St. Joseph. Mo., by Justloe Car
son, is said to be badly wanted by officers
of the United States Express company.
ho were lry Council Bluffs Wednesday
evening on his trail.
Franklin, It Is charged, succeeded through
the innocent connivance o( the .express
company In securing $1,100 belonging to
William II. Pen-', an aged resident of
Trenton, Mo.
According to the officers of the express
company. Perry confided to Franklin the
information that he had $2,300 in the bank
in Trenton with which he Intended to pur
chase a farm In Oklahoma, Franklin, they
say, at once decided to beat the old man to
the money and hastened to Oklahoma snd
telegraphed In Perry's name to the Trenton
bank to at once forward $1,100 by express
In order thst he might close the deal for
the purchase of a farm. The bank sent
the money and the express agent turned
It over to Franklin without requiring iden
tification. A few days later Perry was as
tonlshed to learn that he had drawn the
money from the bank and investigation
brought to light the swindle.
It is supposed that Franklin hastened to
Council Bluffs after securing the money
and wrote to his Intended to meet him here
to get married. Franklin stopped at ths
Kiel hotel here two days before the arrival
of his brido last Monday and on leaving
said they Intended going to Pierre.
The marriage records show that Frank
lin gave his age as 50, while his bride con
fessed to being 33.

ftorinal Trustees.
(From a Sta.fi Correspondent.)
DES MOINES. March 17. tSpeclal.)-The
movement for harmony In state political
affairs took a decided turn for the better
In the convention held In Dallas county
today. This is a county which it Is con
ceded by all Is under the control of the
friends of Governor Cummins. , The county
convention waa held today. It Instructed
.the state delegation to vote for the Blythe
ticket for delegates-at-lai-gs to Chicago,
consisting of Cummins, Allison, Blythe and
Dolllver, and this with but few dissenting
votes. The entire north part of the county,
which Is especially strong for Cummins
and was under the Influence of Judge
Nichols, voted for the Instructions. The
delegation to the state convention Is a
conservative one. In which all factions are
represented. The district delegates were
Instructed to vote for the renomlnatton of
Captain Hull and for the selection of Judge
Edmunds-Nichols of Dallas and Judge J.
II. Henderson of Warren county for dele
gates from this district. This ticket gives
recognition to both factions In the party
and puts an end to all dissensions In the
district, ss It Is now conceded there will
be no opposition to either of the men as
district delegatea
Hut for the fact that It was made known
this morning that A. B. Funk would de
cline to be a candidate for delegate-at-large
there might have been an endorsement of
him for that position, as the convention
was claimed by his friends and probably
waa In their control. Ths withdrawal of
Funk from the race leaves it clear there
will be no further fight In the state con
vention, and It Is now all over. The dis
trict delegates will be selected In district
conventions. The Blythe people are claim
ing that the state convention will be In
their bands and that they can prevent
Oovernor Cummins going to the national
convention If they choose, but this Is not
yet determined.
Opposed to Factionalism.
Lieutenant Governor John Herriott of
Guthrie county delivered an address by In
vitation before the Grant club this evening,
in which he made some notable utterances
relating to the present disturbed condition
of affairs In Iowa. He spoke of "Men mires
of the Man" and took strong ground In
favor of the burial of all f actional feel
ing In the state In the Interest of a har
monious support of President Roosevelt
this year. "It seenjs to me." he said, "thst
candid consideration of the tariff discus
sions this year In Iowa must convince us,
first, that It Is, to use a lawyer's phrase.
Immaterial and Irrelevant; and, second,
that If It Is furthered by our national con
vention It Insures panic and depression to
the country and the defeat of our ticket to
boot." At the same time Lieutenant Oov
ernor Herriott endorsed reciprocity.
Republican legislative Canons.
The republican legislative cauous was
held this evening. Statu Printer Murphy
and Binder Tedford were renominated, also
all the district caucus nominees where
there were no contests. Only two ballots
were taken. For trustee of the normal
school E. H. Griffin of Atlantlo received
the nomination over B. E. McClenahan of
Wlnterset.
A ballot was necessary to determine
whether the democrats should be allowed
the member of the State College board In
'he Second or Eighth districts. It was de
cided he should go to the Second, the vote
oelng 57 to 62. The femocratlo member
had formerly been In the Eighth district.
The democrats will name Vincent Zmundt
of Iowa City for the place.
The visiting committee, which returned
from the State 'university today, reported
In favor of a tnanoglng board for the three
state educational Institutions and In favor
of not appropriating more than $80,000 for
the university, which is about oue-thlrd
what was asked.
House Does Nothing:.
The house accomplished nothing today.
The Bt. Louis appropriation bill for $20,000
was taken up and. after debate, the senate
amendments were concurred in. Then it
was discovered thst it came from the sen
ate as an original bill, the previous bill
having been defeated, and It would bs nec
essary to pass It again. It was laid over
until another day to have the record looked
up and find out what to do. The report In
favor of making binding twine at the state
penitentiary was received, but not adopted
or approved. A motion was filed to recon
sider the bill to enlarge the First judicial
district. The garnishment bill was taksn
up and discussed. It exempts $40 a month
or wages from garnishment. The bill was
pending at the hour of sdjournment.
Deaf School Teachers Get Pay.
Touchlug tales of heroism were told In
the senate this forenoon In relation to sac
rifices made by officers and teachers at
the State School for the Deaf and Dumb at
Council Bluffs when the main building waa
destroyed by Are, May 8, 1902. The matter
came up In the discussion of a bill to ap
propriate $1,789.12 to reimburse the officers
and teachers for loss of valuables and per
sonal property by the fire. The original
claimants numbered twenty-three and they
asked for nearly $8,040. The committee had
pared the amount down, by a graduating
scale, but a trifle more than $l,?"0 was left.
There waa some objection to allowing any
amount, on the ground that there was no
legal authority for the action, but after an
address by Senator Saunders, In which he
eloquently told of the dangers faced by the
superintendent and tearhers and employes
of the Institution in order that the children
might be rescued from the burning build
ing, and of their sacrifices of personal prop
erty In consequence, the measure was
adopted with but two dlRSentlng votrs.
School Attendance.
The . compulsory education bill waa
adopted. It provides that In all public
schools pupils must attend not lew than
alxteen consecutive weeks each yar, com
mencing at the beginning of the school
year, unless a later date Is named by the
school tuatees, and In any event not Ister
than the first Monday In December.
The bill allowing the state dairy commis
sioner one deputy and two assistants, and
fixing the salaries of these officials at $l.?O0
each per year was adopted. A resolution

Teachers' Salaries Not Italseil.
County Superintendent Thornbiirg of this
county Is authority for tho statement that
the salaries of teachers In the schools of
Iowa have not been materially Increased by
reason of the agitation and efforts of the
teachers the last three years. The Inquiry
for teachers continues and nil efforts to
secure a sufficient supply falls, but at the
same time the pay offered In the majority
of . unties of the state remains as In the
past, very low. The agitation for an in

Teachers' association and tho state educa

been going on for some time.
