Commission Holds Opening Session of
Conference at Capitol.
Des Moines, Aug. 2'J. Tho school
patrons of New Providence appealed

sist them in securing a township high

consolidation.
These school patrons want a town
ship high school to replace an acad
omy, which they have supported as an
eccleslaatlcal educational institution.
The relief which they ask can only
come through an amendment to the
present township high school law, say
the p tltjoners. and they ask that the
commission, which was created by ths
Iowa Teachers' association a year ago,
secure this desired change In the law
at the next session of the general as

filed some time ago with the railway

the men who shipped occasionally geo
crallj got rid of their stock as soon a
possible utter arriving at tho market
and there! ore bought hay that they
could get the quickest, while the regu.
lar shippers were generally on th
ground and watched for the opportu
nity to buy the best. The stock yarda
company was In no way to blame for
this condition.
Rate Complaint Dismissed.
The state railway commission has
dismissed tho complaint made by the
Grand Inland Commercial club against
the rates on freight maintained by the
Union Pacltlc railway and the St. Jo
b -ph and Grand Island railway from
Omaha to Grand Island nnd from
Grand Island to several stations. On
account of the mix-up on rates inter
state, the commission claims that they
wire unable at this time to make any

the matter will have to stand as It la
pending the action of the court, when
It may be taken up again.

reserved for state fair visitors by S
retary Whltten of the Lincoln Com

the hotels and rooming houses so tba
there Is no excuse for anyone being
without good sleeping accommodation
during the fair. The fat that a Urt
number of state fair visitors are going
to camp out on the grounds reserved
by the state fair management for thai
purpose will also tend to help a great
deal on the room proposition. Those
attending the fair may Inmire them
selves rooms by writing Secretary
Whltten In advance Btatlng what thy
