DEB MOINE3. July I.-(8peclat.)-The re
sult of the various county conventions over
Iowa, as held yesterday, indicates that the
republtoan party 'In this state Is still pretty
much divided In regard- to national policies.
It was also demonstrated ' that Insofar as
the republicans 'feet 'called, upon at this
time to pass Judgment on the national ad
ministration there Is unanimity of sentl
ment In favor of standing by the adminis
tration in all ts efforts for the c04 of the
party and the country. In not a single
county was there anything done or said to
Indicate that Iowa republicans have, ever
had It In their mind to condemn the presl
dent or to denounce Mm for any of the
things about' which, there ts difference of
opinion, .v, , v. -t it. j
On the other hand. Insofar" as the conven
tlons took any-, action at all. there was
unanimity of aotlon in endorsement of the
Iowa senators and the state administration,
and generally la support .of 1the leaders of
the party whoever they may . be.
Another thing which was made clear was
that the republicans of the state felt free
to act. each county Independently of every
other, and there was nothing to suggest
any machine methods. 'The resolutions
counties' do In all matters. Some of them
stated the matter one way and some an
other.t but all were conservative and even
adopted varied as greatly as the various
tempered, .... v ''
It Is certain that the state convention
wll bo called by the same conservative
sentiment and that there will be nothing
done in the state 1 convection to wiaon the
breach ' which the leader In the state
have boon so anxious to he&L The state
convention' resolutions will unquestionably
be patterned eomewnat after those adopted
ta Polk county whloh wer drafted after
numerous conferences between leaders., of
the party, who at first differed widely
as to what should be said. The Indorse
ment of the national and state Administra
tions It was declared v was. alt that could.
be desired by anyone..
The republican state oommltee will be
composed of substantially' the same mem
bers as at present as all are candidates
for re-election and the action of the con
ventions yesterday . makes it . certain that
they will' be en th committees. The
vacancy In he Eighth district will be filled
by J. F. Bryan of ,Creetr. The present
chairman, arl r.. Frank,, wfll be re-elected
t have charge er the state ' campaign
and this will be highly satisfactory to all
the candidates on the State' ticket.
Carttss "Will Be Waned.
There seems to be little doubt that Prof,
Charles F. Curtis of Ames will be se
lected at the state college. The state board
of education wlUJ hold another session at
an early date. I A,, committee has. had
charge of consideration of the presidency
and for some months and thi committee
Is known to be "favorable to the election
of Curtlsa, A large number fo the younger
members of th alumni of the college have
favored Curtlsa for the presidency. In case
Curtlsa is selected for president Prof. W,

(From a Staff Correspondent.)
, LINCOLN. July .' (Speclal.)-Now that
William J. Bryan Is back a bunch of demo
cratic politicians around here are making
a noise like they were sitting on a dyna
mite keg. Mr. Bryan Indicated this morn
ing that he Intended to touch off the fire
works with a slow fuse, as he desired more
time In which to study conditions and
learn what had been done In his abnsence
! from the country. This means that pos
sibly tomorrow will have passed before any
official statement Is given out from Fatr
I view.'
I The question that Is causing the nun:
I concern around the state house demo
' 'jrats Is what will the big crlef do with
( rovernor ShaTienberger for falling to call
! that extra session when C. W. Bryan said
! Iio had sufficient pledges to Insure file sub
I mission of the initiative and referendum.
Close friends of the presidential candidate
are trying to make him believe that th
executive deliberately threy him down aft-ir'
he and Congressman Hitchcock had a con
ference. They take this to mean that jlr.
Hitchcock and Governor Shallenberffer
eve agreed to go up or down together.
Bryan or no Bryan. In view of the talks
that have ben made to Mr. Bryan It la a
safe guess to say that both the governor
and Mr.' Hitchcock will hear from him in
no uncertain manner. In other words, those
who ha talked with either of the Bryans
are of the opinion that the presidential
ndldate will tell the public what He
thinks of the action of the govenor. The
statement of C. W. Bryan was simply a
contradiction oT that of the governor, wiw
said not a sufficient number of signers
had been received to the pledges to war
rant the calling of th legislators In extra
session. It Is expected that W. J. Bryan
will endeavor to analyse tne reason givon
by the governor for falling to act, and at
the same time tell what was back Of his
decision. It is an absolute certainty that
he will not endorse the action of the gov
ernor. May Be Third Caadldate.
It Is not Impossible that a third candi
date will be entered ear the democratlo
nomination for governor, but until the pres
ent executive Is given more time In whtcn
to decide whether to stand for the Bryan
program nothing will be done along this
line. The question l.as been put up to the
governor and his public reply Is beinj;
awaited by the Bryan adherents. The de
tails of all that Mr. Bryan demands of tne
governor have not been made public ct
Mr. Bryan certainly returned home feel
ing In a good humor and looking much but
ter than when he left here. He Is the pic
ture of good health and has all the appear
ance of being able to put up the hardest
fight he ever went Into. He appeared un
concerned about the petitions which are
being circulated In his behalf as a sena
torial candidate, though he did slightly in
dicate . surprise when Informed that th
democratic state convention is to be . held
In Grand Island. He was asked if he In
tended to be present at the convention.'
"Yes, I shall attend the convention," he
replied. , "Where is it to be held?" He
seemed about to add the word Lincoln
when some one Interrupted and said Grand
Island. Just a slight change of expression
indicated that he was surprised at that.
Quite a number of close friends of Bryan
will ask him, providing he will not get Into
the senatorial race, to get behind Richard
L. Metcalfe and be for blm. A-number of
democrats, whether for or against county
option, Insist that the party can unite on
Metcalfe better than on any other demo
crat except Bryan. -
Exsuuiafna; Board Reports,
Th stat board of examiners, which has
been checking up the credits of students
of the Peru Normal school who failed to
reach the standard set for graduation, has
made one report to the state normal board.
which, however, does not cover the entire
list of those who foiled. The report will
not be given- out for publication by the
examining board and as Secretary Ludden
of the normal board Is out of, the City It
may be a day or two before the public will
be permitted to see th report
It is understood, however, that the re-
checking of the credits has been of little
help to th students and that only a small
part o fthe graduating clans of 12 will be
able to secure certificates.
Statements from Institutions.
Practically all of the state institutions
have made their semi-annual reports to the
governor and within a day or two they will
be ready for publication. In some of the
report mistakes were noticed and these
were sent back for correction. The reports
have to do with the finances of the Institu
tions. Spark Is Badoraed by Educator.
The action of th Stat Normal Board
In selecting Joseph Spraks for the head
of the Chadron normal, has been endorsed
vory generally by the teachers of th siate
and those who have kept In touch with
th work don by Mr. Sparka Jasper L.
MoBrien in a letter to the normal board
aid In speaking of Mr. Sparks:
"I, consider him one of the best school
men Nebraska has. He a thorough, sys
tematic, progressive.. He does not get out
a brass band or has he any corps of pro
fessional reporters. to attract attention to
his work or bom his cause. His work under
the certification law enacted during any
first tsrm as stat superintendent and his
Inspection of private and denominational
schools under th King saw has don
more to pljace th standard of th certifi
cation of teachers in Nebraska on the merit
system than any on man in, th state. W
are too near him and his work to-properly
appreciate It at this time, but when petty
grievances have been forgotten, hi work
will stand as' a monument to th merit
system of certificating teachers."

o'clock the storm gathered force from a
sudden downpour to an electrical storm
of thunder, flashes and Intermittent hail.
Tho storm extended pretty generally from
Omaha to Grand Island, and with less
force between Omaha and Lincoln. Ac
cording to dispatches Lincoln itself was
visited by a furious storm. The fall be
tween hers and Grand Island was esti
mated by Union Paclflo railroad officials
at about one-half of an Inch.
Th . Burlington headquarters reported
very little fall between this city and Lln

as being as fierce as that of Omaha,

MASON CITY, la., July S.-(SpecIal.)-
Tb mayor of this city Is taking every pre

aid him In this matter. For practically
three-months not one-fourth of 'an Inch

city should a fire break out.
Rush wells are being sunk, but they can

that can com is rain. A pioneer farmer
of th county said today that he never saw

they will be short, ar fining quite well

ARUT EN C IK EERS- LOSE FAVOR
(Continued from First I'agr-)
engineer that the sixty additional military
engineers ssked under the bill would not
be all that would be needed In the army
In the event of war. The number needed
then would more- nearly approximate t,he
total number of civilian engineers now em
ployed under the military engineers. It was
contended by members ot congress that It
was a better buslneos proposition to con
tinue the employment ot civilian etiglnrt-rs
on this work that they may be available
In time of war, and. should there be no
war. dispense with their services from time
to time when they were not needed, with
out sdding to the salary lists .of the gov
ernment by csrrylng a heavier number of
military engineers on the retired lists.
Opiiosea Military Enarlnerra.
Representative Slayden of Texas, a mem
ber of the house committed on military af
fairs, does not believe the military engi
neers possess superior knowledge over all
other engineers. "I am not one of those
people," he said, "who believes that be
cause a man Is a graduate of the t'nlted
States Milltsry academy he Is necessarily
better equipped for work Involving mental
processes than other men equully well
trained In other schools that are more em
inent In the particular line of work to
which these gentlemen Hre devoted. We
are not the only government In the world
engaged In great publio enterprises of this
sort. There are other governments that
deal with physical and natural problems-
difficult complicated, not easy of solution
and they manage to get along without
the contributions of graduates of the
United states Military academy.
"There was a pretence made, when the
bill was introduced, that It was going to
do something for the great civil engineer
ing profession of the country; for the grad
uates of the Massachusetts School of Tech
nology, for instance, which during the reg
ular course gives to Its students three or
four times as much attention to the study
of engineering as Is done in the military
academy; but It was a sham and a pre
tense, and that little has been withdrawn.
It opened a little way the back door of the
basement for a few engineers to come in
and get the benefit of the commissions,
but even that has been practically with
drawn and the door shut In their faces."
Chairman Tawney of the house committee
on appropriations fought vigorously against
the proposed Increase In the engineer corps.
The necessity for this bill," he said, "is
to give these sixty civil engineers a mili
tary status to the end that they may be
retired when they reach a certain age and
draw pay from . the government for the
remainder of their lives. We have civil
engineers In charge of some of the most
Important departments, in the construction
of the Panama canal. The Pacific division,
which Includes the locq at Pedro Miguel
and Miraflores and the excavation at the
south end of the canal, are In change of a
clliv lenglneer."
The Immediate effect of the fight over
the proposed Increase In the engineer corps
was the defeat of bills to Increase the signal
corps, to enlarge the corps of dental sur
geons attached to the army, to Increase the
Judge advocate general's department, to
add over 600 officers to the army, to add
forty-two officers to the general staff corps,
to Increase the quartermaster's department.
When It wits found how bitterly the pro
posed Increase In the engineer corps was
fought the proponents and advocates of
these other bills decided not to push them
at this time. Had the engineer corps in
crease bill gone through attempts would
have been made to get through these other
bills, entailing more than $2,000,000 officers-
salary increase, In the army.
