DES MOINES , Jan. 1. ( Special Tele
gram. ) The commute ? on classification of
colleges made Us report to the college- sec
tion ot the State Teachers' association this
afternoon , and atter a bitter delntc ot tour
hours the report was adopted and the smaller
college ] of the state shut out from recogni
tion by the State association. The report
Is Identical with that ot last year , with the
exception that the State Agricultural college
and three others are given recognition. The
list of colleges now eligible to membership
In the section stands : Stale university , Iowa
Wesleyan university , Parsons , Coe , Upper
Iowa university , Drake university , Cornell ,
Penn , Tabor , Ion a , Simpson and D.'s Molne ? .
The reference of the committee's report to
the Agricultural college was as follows :
"Though standing apart from the colleges
and university In the amount ot requirements
for admission , and differing largely In the
scope and character of Its course of study ,
yet possetulng an extensive equipment and
ftrong faculty , and doing Its work with ef
ficiency and to the general approval as a
state technical school , wo recommend the
Agricultural college. "
Notwithstanding this Institution had been
recognized as antagonizing the committee re
port , It was finally adopted. The actual at
tendance Of teachers has reached 1,200.
In the various sections today many ex
pressions were heard In favor of additional
school legislation. The music teachers will
ask that music be made one of the- required
studies of th ; common school course. In the
general association meeting strong pleas were
made for the establishment of additional
normal schools. The subject of laboratory
teaching In high schools was discussed at
length and the preponderance of opinion was
that notwithstanding the desirability of this
method of scientific Instruction , It was not
pr.icltcal In ordinary high schools.
Dr. W. O. Krohn of the chair of ossychol-
ogy In the Unlverplty of Illinois addressed
the general association. Ho discussed child
nature and the spirit that Is necessary to all
teaching , and declared that It was a crime
to have moro than 40 pupils In a school. A
resolution was adopted favoring the estab
lishment of a Btato historical museum.

LOUISVILLE , Jan. 1. A special to the
Pest from Frankfort , Ky. , says : A conven
tion of leading republicans was held In the
onico of Governor Bradley last night and
the " " started.
"Bradley boom" for present was
This was the theme and the toasts to the
governor were lull of happy Now Year's
wishes for his politic-it preferment In the
year 1S96. Yearly congratulations and b'st
wishes were extended to the governor as
the republican candldato for president of the
United States by forty prominent repub
licans from every congressional district In
Kentucky , who called by agreement on that
oDlclal last night.
Among those present nt the meeting be
sides Governor Bradley and some twenty
other gentlemen whoso mines are not known ,
were the following : Judge A. H. AnJerson ,
Hopklnsvlllc ; Major A. T. AVood , Mount
Sterling ; J. AA' . Langley , Presldonsbm-R ; J.
B. Marcum , Jackson ; General J , E. H , He.i-
son , Greensburg ; Ed Parker. London ; Lieu
tenant Govmior AV. J. AVorthlngton. Hen-
Jnmln Letcher , Henderson ; AV. S. Taylor.
Moigatitown ; E. J. Scbree , Henderson ;
Charles Blanford , Brecklnrldgo county ; Ed
ward Farley , Padticah ; J. II. Happy , May-
Held ; fi. T. Franks , Owcnsboro ; G. M. Brooks ,
Carlisle , and Judgs George Dubelle.
AA'lifn some of his friends urged him to go
Into the senatorial race , the governor re
peated with vehemence that h * was not In
the race nnd would not bo. This will doubt
less bo good news to the various senatorial
candidates , Messrs. Hunter , AVIlson. Holt ,
Debo ? and others. They will now bo left
to fight It out among themselves.
The real object of the meeting of the re
publicans with Governor Bradley , It Is known ,
was In regard to that gentleman's candidacy
for the pr sldcncy. It can bo stated here
with entire accuracy that before the new-
year was an hour old , every person present
nt the meeting had pledged hi ins If to do
nil ho could to elect n Bradley delegation
from Kentucky to the national republican
convention at St. Louis and to work In every
possible way to s'cure lily nomination.
MAN AVITII NO ENEMIES.
It was agreed that a man who has no
enemies , as hnvo Reed , McKlnley , Allison
or Morton , certainly Is in n better position
to gain the nomination than the other of
the gentrmcn named. Further than this ,
Bradley Is a sound money man , who hns
won his fight on a sound money platform.
No other governor elected In the year just
past can say the same and , besides. Gov
ernor Bradley even went beyond his party's
platform nnd made a winning fight. That
Bradley la a man who Is In every way flt
to fill the office was the belief of every
republican present nt the motlng last night ,
and no thought will bo given to the con
sideration of his name for the vlca presi
dency. No second place for him was the
determination of all those present.
The result of the conference last night
may be summed up as follows : All the
stories concerning Governor Bradl y's can
didacy for the senatorshlp are set at rest.
Ho Is not a senatorial candidate , but has
Ills ey on bigger gamo. Governor Bradley's
name will go before the nitlonnl convention
this year as a candidate for president. He
will have a solid delegation from Kentucky ,
as well as delegations from a numb r of
other southern states. Governor Bradley's
name will not be considered as n vice presi
dential candldato under any clrcumstancas.
Rath-r than accept Ihls ho would prefer
remaining governor of the state of Ken
tucky. It Is the opinion of many repub
licans that Bradley not only has a good
: hance to be the next president , but b-
jctweon the bickerings sure to occur among
tht ; other presidential candidates , he win
be turned to In splto of the fact tint hp Is
south of the Ohio river , and nominated and
eKctcd.

if nnd dash , and ahoundliif , ' with tlu-IIIIng incidents , ono of which Is an
encounter between Iladdcn and a leopard at the moment when Had-
den is treacherously about to murder Nalioon , who , at thu risk of his
own life , magnanimously saves that of his adversary. Another Is
the awful leap of Nanon into the Tool of Gloom , from which Him
escapes by chance to be reunited to her lover after a series of weird
adventures In the Forest of the Dead. ThroiiRliout the story the ac
tion is rapid and the interest sustained , and few who bujjlii it will
