TITE OMAHA DAILY BEE: MONDAY. SEPTEMBER 12, 1504. ft CURRENT NEWS OF IOWA COUNCIL BLUFFS SCHOOL COMMENCES TODAY Buildings thoroughly Overhauled During the Summer Vacation. DIVIDE THE TIME AT SECOND AVENUE Atteadaaee at Hlaa School at Openlaa Eanerted to B Aboat the Same as Last Tear, bat Will laerease Later. The public schools of the city will open tills morning; for the new school year snd everything; Is in readiness to receive the pupils. During; the long; summer vacation extensive repairs have been carried out In the several school buildings, many of them havlnc been entirely renovated snd re painted from top to bottom. The first thing - on the schools assembling this morning the teachers will be assigned to grades. Here tofore this has been done at the time of alignment of teachers to the different buildings, but this year Superintendent Clifford decided to postpone It u,ntll the number of pupils In the various classes was ascertained. Owing to the Incomplete condition of the Avenue B school building the pupils of that school and the Second Avenue building will for the present divide the day at the Sec ond Avenue building. ' In the morning the teachers and pupils of the Second Avenue, school .will occupy the building from 8:30 o'clock until noon, and the teachers and pupils of the Avenue B school from 12: JO to i p. m. Under this arrangement, which was deemed better than dividing th chil dren of the Avenue B among the other buildings, the pupils of the two schools , will lose but little time. The Avenue B building Is expected to be ready for oc- ' cupancy by October 10 or IB. The enrollment at the high school It Is expected will be about the same aa last year, which was 455 on the opening day. The class entering today Is somewhat smaller than last year, but as the clats which will enter In February will be much larger the enrollment for the year Is ex pected to show a material Increase over last year, which was 5X3. There will he no radical changes In the courses of study, but Superintendent Clif ford Is planning that special emphasis will be laid upon instruction In reading and every effort will be made to cultivate a taste among the pupils for the best litera ture. Th plan which last year proved so successful, of providing lists of library books adapted to readers of the different grades will be continued, and aa far as possible improved upon. This plan last year .resulted In the number of children holding cards at the public library being Increased from 400 to almost 2.000. It Is hoped to double this number this year. Prof.' Fred D.

The work of dismantling the grounds of the street fnlr and carnival was com menced after midnight Saturday. At J o'clock Sunday morning the Qasklll com pany had parked and loaded It extensive paraphernalia and started In a special train for Waterloo, la., where It will begin a return engngement of a week. With few exceptions the exhibits were all removed fro.-n the booths before daylight. Tiie work of takfcig down the canvas fence and removing the booth and other frame structures will be begun early this morning and by tonight but little will re main to mark the street fair. Although no official figures are yet avail able. It Is estimated the attendance for the week was close to tiS.OtiO, which is about 11.000 over that of last year. Much satisfaction Is felt that despite the large crowds at night there was little or no rowdyism and the hoodlum element was mainly conspicuous by Its absence through out the entire week. Pickpockets evidently gave the carnival a wide berth, as only one case of any person losing anything was reported. One man reported that he had lost a small sum of money which had been tied up In a handkerchief, but It Is not certain that he was robbed. The force of special police under Constable Albertl kept the grounds well officered and several suspicious perrons were escorted out of the lair as soon as they were spotted. Far Rest.

Bar Tker Canaat Be Compelled ta Perform Service Wlthoat Pay meat af Feee Inheritance Tax Law le Lasse. (From a Staff Correspondent.) DE9 MOINES. Sept. 11 (Special. )-It would take 130.000 to furnish the record books, blanks and other material necei- sary to 'carry out the new Iowa law re lating to vital statistics, according to the statement of Secretary Kennedy, of the, State Board of Health, In, whose hands the administration of the law was placed by the last genersl assembly. The law be came operative July 4 last. The secretsry of stste and executive council provided b'.anks to be sent out to the local doctors and health officers and to county and city clerks, and the State Board of Health at tends to the details. The law requires all the township 'clerks snd clerks of health boards to act as registrars for certification of births snd deaths and to send reports to the secretary of the Board of Health. They are also required to keep records. The law made no provision, however, for furnishing record books and the local registrars who are Just beginning to study the law are clamoring for record books that they may keep the records as contemplated. The secretary called In makers of blanks and secured an estimate that it would take 820.WIO to prepare the books and plsce them in the hands of registrars. Some of the physicians of the state have flatly refused to make out the certificates and declare that the law Is unconstitutional In that It provides that they shall perform a service for the state without compensa tion. They claim there should be a fee at tached to the reports they make. They have all been furnished with the blanks. Inheritance Law le Croaked. It Is found that the Iowa Inheritance tax law, which has now been on the statute books about ten years and under which a vast amount has been collected for the state from ostates not directly Inherited, Is weak In that It undertakes to discrim inate against the foreign holder of prop erty In Iowa. It requires a higher pay ment from the alien than from the resident of the state. The German consul in Chi cago has called the attention of the Iowa authorities to the fact that under treaties with Germany this cannot be done. Interarbaa Reate Located. The route for the Interurban line west from Des Moines has been located as defi nitely as it can be until the right-of-way Is actually secured.

"My physician could not help me and I took everything I could think of but kept getting worse; so In August I saw another doctor who aald I had nervous dyspepsia but who did pot help me any and by that time I was so nervous It seemed I would go crasy. I did not have energy for any thing and could hardly eat anything and be came so wesk that I could hardly walk, had to stop nursing my baby and In Sep tember I changed my physician again. The next one said I had female trouble, that I would have to be operated on, but I would not have that so kept changing phyal clans and some would say one thing and some another and still I got worse until December when I commenced with nervous convulsions and was taken down In bed. "My husband got the very best doctors that could be found In our reach. I uaed stomach pump for 1! months and was In bed for, three months straight and I would get so nervous thst I could not speak, but I never suspected Ihe coffee.

(From a Staff Correspondent.) WNCOLN. Sept. 11. 8pectal.)-When the smoke of battle has cleared away after the Ith day of November, according to popu llstlc prophecies, and the roll Is called In Nebraska, not a sufficient number of dem ocrats will answer "Here" to constitute a political party of any consideration. That the populists actually believe this Is evi denced by the derision with which they re ceived the threat of the Parker democrats to scratch Berge unless the populists stop fighting Parker Instead of a letup In the fighting the threat only served to goad on the pops in their work. They are no longer content to follow In the wake of the dem ocrats, picking up a crumb here and there, but now that their backbones have been stiffened they Intend to everlastingly slam the head of the democratic national ticket and the platform upon which he stands un til the votes are In. More literature Is being sent out every dsy by both tfie national and the state pop ulist committees, and not in the least Is It tempered to the shorn Iamb. It has made the disorganised, disheartened democrats sick. The literature Is like a branding Iron on their sides, and no wonder. In the Watson speech, of which thousands and thousands of copies have been circulated, there are paragraphs about his old-time Hies which read like this: . . You may ask why do I consume more time discussing the democrats than In speaking of the republicans. My. rep.y Is: It s an easier ana quicser joo 10 sinae an niwn enemv rlarht between tne eves xnan It la to tear off the mask from the face of a pretended friend and show him to De tne hypocrite tnat ne is. Another paragraph reads: But why any human being should In the year 1904 vote the . national democratic ticket Is something that parses my un tutored comprehension. It seems to me to ha the most am as In DlsVe of effrontery for the democratic party to go before the American people and proclaim that for eight years they hsve been wrong and the republicans have been right, and at the same time demand that the crowd which has been wrong shall be put In the place of thnaa who have been rlaht. It would In deed be a miracle If any such a thing would happen, and so far aa i am ooncernea i ao not believe It will happen.' Wky It Harts. This is the kind of literature the populist committee Is sending out. It Is making the democrats sick, for the reason the litera ture Is doing the business. The populist committee haa sent nearly J.OOO.OOO copies of Watson's Lincoln speech all over the United States, and the demand is far In excess of the number sent out. ' The com mittee hasn't the money with which to supply the demand. In many Instances, however, country newspapers that have used the speech as a supplement have paid for It, while individual citizens have sent In money to pay for from 60 to 800 copies. It la this interest manifested by the rank and file of the populist party and the Bryan democrats that la agitating the dem ocrats and that called forth that ultimatum. To make the position of the poor demo crats of the Parker brand more trying is the claim of the populist leaders that Watson will art 100.000 votes In Nebraska. They are saying also that Roosevelt wll! get 116,000 and Parker 26,000. The populists admit, however that ' they cannot figure where Parker Is to get his 25,000 and rome of them believe that Roosevelt will even divide the 26,000 with him. And from many states the reports are to the effect that Watson Is making serious Inroads on the democratic nominee. From Georgia the reports come to the effect that while the populists do not expect to over come the big democratic majority, they ex pect to give Parker a run for his money and it may be that he will lose the state. All these reports encourage the populists to bid defiance to the democrats. But even without these reports from other states. the populists of Nebraska have the demo crats at their mercy. The threat of the Parker democrats to scratch Berge wl l cut no Ice. The populists expect the Parker democrats to do that anyhow. But the democratic state committee has to knuckle to the populists. If fliey don't, then Mr. Bryan doesn't get any help to get to the senate. In Nebraska this year It Is the populists against the republicans. The democrats will not be considered by either party. - Opea Hepnbllraa Campaign. In the political world here this week there will be things doing.
