RULES FOR HEALTH OF IOWA
State Board Hai Mnch Authority, but
Cdantiei Pay Bills.
LEGISLATIVE ACT IS NEEDED
KnTertlvenraa' of Entire .eteoa Mny
Be Blocked by supervisors
Letter Carriers to
Meet.
' (From a Staff Correspondent.)
DES MOINES, Aug. )9.-(Speclal.)-Th
State Board of Health has promulgated a
rule that all corporations furnishing water
to the public must furnish Bamplrs of the
water to the State Board of Health for
chemical analysis some time between Aug
ust 1 and November 1 and at such other
times as the state or local boards of health
shall demand. The board rules that the fee
of $10 for the analysis of the water must
be paid by the corporation and that the
rule shall apply to hotels, restaurants and
boarding houses. Announcement of the
rule Is made In the Iowa Health Bulletin
Issued by the board today.
The rule further provides that If It Is
found that the water is contaminated the
local board of health shall be notified and
the water company shall at once be com
pelled to purify it and remove tha cause
of the pollution.
The atate . board will meet next week.
The board provided for the examination
and licensing of graduate nurses will meet
Wednesday at the state house and the
State Board of Health wll meet the next
day. The board at this meeting will
endeavor to complete the promulga
tion of new rules In relation to quar
anlnea and the state health which
was started at the meeting held during
the last of July. It Is announced that
following the completion of these rules the
boird will call all the mayors of cities and
the members ot local boards of health to
meet in Des Moinca some time In October
for a conference with the state board when
the new rules will be exolalned and an
effort will be made to enforce them.
Tlis state board, It Is found, has almost
unlimited authority In this state over all
questions affecting the public health. The
state law . provides that the State Board
of health shall have authority to make all
rules relating to the preservation of the
health of tHe State. But If the local boards
fall to carry out the orders of the state
board it must step In and enforce them
itself and the ' law provides that the
bills shall be turned over to the county
supervisors, but If these supervisors
refuse to pay the bills there is no means
under heaven of compelling them to do It,
so while the State Board of Health has
blanket authority' to do everything it has
no power to enforce Its rules and orders.
Bo the State Board of Health would like
very much to have the legislature make
things more sperlnc as to Its powers and
authority. If it Is provided that the super
visors must pay the bills then the problem
will be solved.' '
Mtadents "tody Taxation.
Students of the tlvree colleges forming the
Triangular Debating league have adopted

Coa Krr Rationalist at Stewart.
At a meeting of the Congregationaliats of
J he Grinnell association at Stuart, la.,
September 24 and 25, it is expected that
some Important action relative to the con
aolidation of the denomination with the
Methodist Protestant and United Brethren
churches will arise. At the same time per
sona informed aic not awar of what the
action is likely to be. -When the Grinnell
association, which comprises about one
fifth of the stale of Iowa, met last year
It took action favorable to the consolida
tion of the denominations. When the state
association met later it took action against
the consolidation, which had been decided
on favorably by all three denominations.
The action of the Iowa association caused
something of a flurry at the national meet
ing, especially among the eastern church
members. Now those following the quea
tion are anxiously awaiting tiie meeting
of these associations this year to see w hat
further action will be taken.
The Congrtgaltonaliats of Iowa seem dis
fioseU to oppos th union because of th
difference In the form of government of
the oilier two denominations, which they
desire to have adopted partly by the con
solidated denomination. Further, It Is
claimed hy the Congregational ministers
that before they are admitted to the min
istry and ordained they must have the call,
and must also have a four years' academic
education and three years In a theological
seminary. The ministers of the other de
nominations must have only the call to be
ordained.
;ea Walk Cheap.
T. J. McCurdy, custodian of the stata
house, has completed the work of rclsylng
the cement sidewalks around the state
house. The cost to the state was 8 cente
a foot, and $"00 of the appropriation re
mains unexpended. The cost for such
walks to the city of De Moines Is 11
cents a foot, so the statesavett some money
by doing the work Itself.

victed of being Implicated In a robbery at
Hamilton, la., and who by turning state's
evidence caused the conviction of fornffr

Prayer Meeting; Too Strong-.
Because of the exclusively church at
mosphere of University place, the resi
dence section of Des Moines that sur
rounds Drake university, a moving pic
ture show had to be called off. When
the picture ahow date waa set without
previous consultation and in Ignorance
of the affairs of the University' Place
Christian church, the picture show was
put on prayer meeting night. Thorns was
a conflict. Some of the church people
objected to there being anything In that
end of town on prayer meeting night,
and the sentiment for the prayer mat
ing was so strong that the show had to
be put off.
(onldn't Get av Minister.
It leaks out from tha offices of the
Anti-Saloon league here thnt when the
saloonkeepers made their parade demon
stration In Davenport some days 6go
with thousands In line of march the
Anti-Saloon league tried In vain to find
a minister to head a counter demonstra
tion. There was not a one in town. All
were on vacations.
Harlan Finda benin.
It seems that E. R. Harlan, assistant
curator of the historical department, has
brougiit to light facts concerning one of
the most unique characters In Iowa, a
born naturalist and investigator, who has
pursued his original Investigations while
living quietly on a farm. Of course he
lives In Van Buren county.. This is Wil
liam Savage, who lives on a sniail iarm
on Big Cedar creek, near Stockport, and
he became possessed of his farm about
sixty years ago. During all these years
he has engaged In making a study of
the birds and animals all about him,
and he has made pictures In water color
of all the native birds and anlmala of
Iowa, Concerning Savage and his work.
Curator Charles Aldrlch says:
"This collection is the life work of Mr.
Wllllarn Savage of Stockport, Van Buren
county, who Is, without an exaggeration, an
adept In this work. He lives in a quiet
out-of-the-way place, ao to speak, In the
woods, and la a farmer in a small way, an
Industrious, temperate, good man. He has
lived there during the last sixty years, and
the place In the Immediate vicinity of his
residence has undergone but little Improve
ment, scarcely changing from its original
condition, aside from the erection of his
modest house and a few outbuildings.
Necessity has forced him to get a living
off hts farm, but his passion has been the
making of this collection of paintings of
Iowa birds, all ot which, to the number of
several hundred, have been the work of his
hand and brain. It seemed to Hhe. writer
that these paintings, each representing the
given bird in life siie, and In ' a natural
attitude, to be scarcely inferior to the en
gravings In the works of Audubon. Sav
age Is really as eccentric In some respects
ss Thoreau or Rafinesque. Of course, he
has pursued this subject during all of
these sixty years, but he took up one bird
after another. He was almost certain to
obtain the bird he wanted n6 matter how
shy Its general habits. He has been known
to follow a bird many miles with his gun,
pursuing it from one alighting place to an
other, until he finally waa able to shoot It.
Some of his pursuits of birds hsve ex
tended from ten to twenty miles. He has
therefore become exceedingly familiar with
the appearance axfd habits of all the wild
birds that have inhabited Iowa, and has
made a series of paintlnga which Is the
wonder and admiration of everybody who
sees it. The reader will consider this a
strange ambition, as he has not aought to
'make money" out of Ills artistic work. The
writer considers this one of the most re
markable collections of natural history
paintings he has ever seen." ,
By reason of the urging of Curator Aid
rich and Assistant Harlan, thla collection
of bird paintings Is to be shown to Iowa
people at their state fair next week. It has
already arrived and will be placed in a
conspicuous place where It will attract a
great deal of attention.

was furnished and the crowd did not leavo
until a late hour. During the day plenty
to eat and to drink was to be had. Much,
