and appropriate exercises will be held In

Hon. Richard 0. Barrett , state superin
tendent of public Instruction , has Issued a
leaflet regarding the observance of the
day , copies of which were received hero
yesterday by Superintendent Hayden of the
city schools. Prefacing the leaflet Is the
letter of Governor Shaw to Superintendent
Barrett and the lattcr's letter to the teach
ers of Iowa. They are as follows :
EXECUTIVE DEPARTMENT. Sept. 28.
Hon. Richard C. Barrett. Superintendent of
Public Instruction : My Dear Sir The project
of erecting n monument in the capital of the
French republic In honor of General Lafay-
otto. with funds furnished by the American
people , contemplates a tribute too low ; 'le-
layod , to the mrmorv of one of tl.o heroic
characters of the race. It Is also a happy
thought that the monument bo unveiled on
United Stateti day at the coming Paris ex
position , July 4. 1900. Our country owes n
debt of gratitude to this man. who , In his
youth , surrendered n life of ease In order
that ho might help establish Iho fret-dom of
America. Comlnc when he did In the darkest
hour of the revolution , his appearance wna a
ray of light In the gloom , greatly cheering
the hearts of the patriot. " In that struggle ,
bvery patriot of today old and young may
well consider It a privilege to bear a part In
rearing the proposed monument.
It Is. moreover , a commendable suggestion
that the 19th day of October next , the ar.-
nlvers-arv of the surrender at Yorktown to
the combined armies of America and France ,
be observed as Lafayette day.
I would suggest that on the day named
tnore bo addresses or other exercises In the
school throughout the state suitable to the
occasion , and such as Bhall recall the virtues
and the worth of the noble Frenchman who
held It the highest honor to be esteemed the
friend of Washington. Very truly yours.
DES MOINES. Oct. 1 , To the"Teachers'of
Iowa : It Is proposed to erect a monument
In Paris and dedicate the day July 4 , 1900 , to
the memory of General Lafayct'o. the early
friend nud defender of our country. The
Lafayette Memorial commission , of which
our own Hon. William B. Allison Is a mem
ber , has designated October 19 as "Lafayette
day. " On this dav it is hoped to secure
ample funds to build the monument. Citi
zens and students In universities nnd col-
Icces. acadamlcs and seminaries , public and
parochial achnol ? are accorded the prlvlltt'P
of giving. All funds collcct2d are to be foi -
warded direct to Hon. Charles G. Daves ,
comptroller of the currency. Washington ,
D. C. . and at the eamo tlmo notice of the
amount forwarded sent to Robert J. Thomp
son. Chicago , secretary of the commission.
The proper observance of the day will do
much to arouse In the youth of our stnto n
still greater patriotism. The etory of our
struggle for liberty will again have atten
tive listeners. The biographies of Lafayette
and Washington will be rend anew with
pleasure. The when | movement , rightly
conducted , . will bavo a tendency to Inspire
and encourage the youth of the land. Whllo
personally In hearty accord with the move
ment and considering it most praiseworthy
teachers will please remember that the De
partment of Public Instruction has nothing
to do with the funds and cannot receive
them. RICHARD C. BARRETT ,
Superintendent of Public Instruction.

Selection of l > nvlnir Material Given
Considerable Hat IH fact Ion.
That Council Bluffs brick has been se
lected as the material for all of the streets
ordered naved with the exception of one Is
n source of much gratification to the people
of the city generally , as It means the ex
penditure rlcht at home of some $20.000 , a
largo portion of which would have gone
abroad for material had DCS Molnes or other
brick been chosen by the Interested prop
erty owners. It will mean that a large
number of men will bo able to find employ
ment at the local brickyards , as evidenced
by the fact that early yesterday morning , or
within twelve hours after they had boon
awarded the contract , Wlckham Bros , had
notices posted about the city calling for fifty
extra men.
Today Wlckham Bros , will commence
work on the curbing on Avenue F between
Oakland avenue and North Second street ,
This Is the street on which the property
owners selected DCS Molncs brick for the
top course of the paving and E. A. Wlck
ham stated yesterday that this would be
the first street paved. The first of the streets
ordered paved with Council B.lifts brick , top
and bottom courses on which work will be
commenced , will be Willow avenue from
Main to Bluff street. Wlckhara Bros , say they
expect to put a large-force of mon to work
nnd as long as the home-made brick holds
out and the weather 1/s favorable they will
push the paving along as rapidly as circum
stances will permit so as to set as much of
It completed as possible before enow flics.
Wlckham Bros , have already arranged ti
expand their brick , plant and will at once put
in down-draft kilns for the purpose of mak
ing vltrtfled paving brick. Other local
brick manufacturers are also figuring on In
creasing the capacity of their plants. There
Is a considerable quantity of brick on hand
that will be suitable for tne bottom course
of the paving , but it will take some time
befora a sufilclent supply of the vitrified ar
ticle can be manufactured and for this
reason It seems almost certajn that a large
portion of the paving will have of necessity
to bo postponed until nexi spring or sum
mer.

DENVER , Oct. 4. When the court-martial
trial of Rev. Joseph P. Mclntyre , chaplain
ot the battleship Oregon , was resumed this
morning the defendant , who had testified' '
yesterday in his own behalf , was recalled to
I'he stand. Ho told ot the constant watch
kept for Spanish torpedo boats and for Cer-
vera's fleet from the tlmo the Oregon left
Callao until it reached the end ot its Jour
ney ,
On cross-examination the chaplain stated
that whllo in Chicago ho was a very sick
man , bun during bis stay there he submitted
to newspaper Interviews on the trip of the
Oregon and the battle of July 3. The reports
of those Interviews , the chaplain said , horri
fied him and made him determined to hnvo
nothing more to do with reporters. Witness
explained that his horror was due to the fact
that the reports published were very differ
ent from what ho Intended to say to Vhe re
porters. He could not remember what the
reports were.
In answer to questions by the Judge advo
cate , Chaplain Mclntyro testified that ) ho
could not remember what bo said tn his lec
ture. He said that what made him first be-
llevo that ho had said In the lecture what
ho had not Intended to say was when the
peculiar actions of eome of bis friends were
explained on the ground that the lecture
offended. He learned this some days after
he had written to the secretary of the navy
that the words attributed to hfra by the
newspapers were not uttered by him , but Tie
believed then that the arrangements for
court-martial were too far advanced to ren
der any further explanation. The chaplain
said he bad no Intention to sneer at the
name of Captain Robley D. Evans. He had
never heard any reference to Captain Evans
except in the highest terms.
The Judge advocate read alleged Interviews
with the accused In Denver papers , some t
which the chaplain declared misrepresented
him. In one he was quoted as saying that
eastern shipbuilders had cheated rhe govern
ment. Ho was still considering these Inter
views when the court adjourned until morn
ing.

arc the members of the Board of Control
When not officially engaged elsewhere al
the members are to be found at their quar
ters In the canl ol , which Is a veritable hlv <
of Industry , l.t'fs a herculean task to set It
motion the great new system of which th <
board are the administrators. When thej
took up the task they WCM confronted bj
nn appalling amount of work which re >
quired the exercise of large discretion ani
the application of correct business prlucJ <
pics. It was theirs to direct the operation !
of oUr great charitable and penal institu
tions and to give practical scrutiny to t
masa of Infinite detail Involved In the sue
ecssful Inauguration of the vast system
But Larrabce , Klnne and Cownle wen
equal to the Important emergency. All met
of wide experience and rlpo Intellect , thej
grasped the situation at the beginning and
have never failed In the discharge of duty
They have accomplished more than was
expected of the able men by those moat fa
miliar with the requirement of the position
They are a board of control In the broadesl
sense of the term. Not only have they es
tablished control over the general admin
istration ot the Institutions. They have
mastered every problem of detail and cverj
clement of service fop which they are re
sponsible to the state Is under practical
control. Their system of bookkeeping ant !
accounting are the admiration of all whc
have given It attention.
Evidence accumulates as to the value ol
the new system 'to the state. It has beer
grossly misunderstood. Many have as
sumed Its chief purpose to bo the reduction
ot state expenditure without regard to the
proper discharge of state duty to lit
wards. Summed up In a sentence its real
mission is to bring the business of tht
state to a practical business basis. Intelli
gently administered It will conserve the
humanitarian as well ns the business In
terests of the ppople. It will provide foi
state purchase on eound commercial prin
ciples. It will adjust the wage scale ol
the employes of the state In accordance
with standards of the business world. II
will bring the Institution's In closer touch
with the people and neglect no detail In
volved In the proper core of our unfortu
nates. v ,
Under the administration ot the firs !
board the new system will easily Justify Its
existence. The law will need a little read
justment. It will be necessary to take up
a little slack hero and relieve tension else
where , but It will never be repealed. The
mora tbo system Is used the better It will
be appreciated.
The board Is now employing more help
than It did , and Is likely to find It neces
sary to still further extend Us pay roll ,
The September pay roll calls for $441.16 ,
which Is divided among ten persons , not
Including the secretary. Some of these have
worked less than a month and some of them
are temporary employes. L. A. Wilkinson ,
th6 head bookkeeper , gets $100 a month ,
but inost of the other employes , clerks and
stenographers get but $50 a month , D.
Wheeler Smith , who was deputy state treas
urer many years ago , has again established
connection with the state treasury and has
been appointed a clerk to the board. The
work la Increasing and the members ol
the board as well cs their employes are
very busy. The letting of contracts for
Immonao quantities of supplies la now occu
pying the board's attention.

A short tlmo ago the prospects were goat
for a phenomenal yield an.d all Iowa wai
happy. Then conditions were materlaUj
changed , but the change was not sufllclop1
to warrant the statement there will be mor <

the promise of phenomenal crops Ms sud'

the comparison with what they had ex

have done so this year. 1 bcllove the cert
crop will average over thirty bushels tt

a eood deal more than 80 per cent of a crop. '

NEW YORK ; Oct. 4. Thecommittee ap

by the state republican convention at Sara

Up of T. C. Platt , John R. Hazel , , Jamea
A. Roberts , H. N. Llttauer , Hobart Krum ,

Francis Hcndrlcks , George R. Malby , Jo'hn
T. Mott and Cornelius V. Collins. Senator
Platt and Mr. 'Malby ' were unable to ixt-
cnd through Illness. Dr. Dcpow made the
notification address to Colonel Roosevelt ,
complimenting him on the unanimity ol
his cholco by the convention. Colonel
Roosevelt replied briefly as follows :
I herewith accept the nomination tendered
by the republican party In convention as
sembled. I deeply feel the responsibilities
which attach to the chief executive of a
commonwealth larger k and moro populous
than many an old world kingdom. In ac
cepting this nomination at the handsj of the
authorized committee of the republican state
convention I take this opportunity of ex
tending , through you , to the republicans of
the empire state my heartfelt thank ? for the
distinguished honor conferred upon me. If
elected I shall strive to administer the duties
of this high office that the Interests of the
people as a whole shall bo conserved , knowIng -
Ing that I owe my position to the people and
to them I shall hold myself accountable. I
take it that the promises made In the plat
form adopted at Saratoga are as binding IAH
any others and to the fulfilment of the
pledges made therein I promise my best ef
forts. The party's past has been glorious
and whllo this would not atone for failure
td perform present duty It does glvo ade
quate reason for believing that no snail
meet , each duty aright , so that the record
of the party In the future may glvo as great
cause for thankfulness nnd prldo as do the
achievements of the past.
Not Alone State IHNIICN.
National issues are paramount this year.
It Is no moro possible to conduct a state
election now without regard to national Is
sues than it was possible so to conduct ono
In 1SG1 or 1863. As It then was eo It now
Is the interests of the nation as a whole
which Is of vital and absorbing Interest to
each citizen. Then , as now , the republican
party was forced to meet new Issues , to
confront new problems , . Then , as now , it
was forced not to follow , but to mnko prece
dents. In 1861 wo had to preserve the re
public for Us great destiny. In 1898 we have
to take a long stride toward the accom
plishment of that destiny. The republican
party , therefore. In Its state platform , does
well to reiterate the promises under wiucn
It was possible to elect a republican presi
dent , pledges which made It possible to re
store prosperity to our country nnd to put
the nation where It la possible to work out
the glorious future , which Is now before n
reunited nation.
The Issues for honest money , for protec
tion to American Industry , for the upbuild
ing of a merchant marine , adequate to carry
the commerce of tbo world and to form a
naval mllltla In times of war , nro as vital
this year as they were In the great contest
which was so successfully fought In IB'.Hi.
We must further strengthen cur navy and
build up our array , so that they may be
equal to any demand made upon them , as
we work out our destiny. Hawaii and Porto
Illcd'aro ours , and ) n tho. East and > Vest
Indies the interests of the nation shall be
safeguarded ,
Nor Is It nlono on national Uaues that the
republican party has Its duties to perform.
The record made by the republican ad
ministration of the state of New York Is a
guarantee that upon all questions affecting
the property rights and Interests and liberty
of all citizens the republican party' ran bo
safely trusted , as wo pledge ourselves to ub-
icld the national honor abroad ; wo pledge
ourselves to enforce strict honesty at home.
The National Guard must bo raised to and
kept at the highest standard of e-ffjlency.
it has amply proved Its courage and | trlot-
sm and no are bound to fieo that buldlers
so brave and so willing are properly armed
ind are bandied on the beat possible ays-
I 'heartily concur In the doctrines enun
ciated at Saratoga and If elected I shall
earnestly strive to so discharge tho'dutleo
of the chief executive that at the end of my
terra the people shall nnd that their inter
ests have been safe In my hpnds.

ALLOW THE TRAINTo DEPART
MInerN Kenrji Trap Had Been Set fo
Tlieiu Alarm Cimirn from
One of tlio Mined.
PANA , 111. , Oct , \ . The Baltimore & Ohla
Southwestern carried from this city today
two coaches and a caboose which the train ,
iron Were ordered to leave at Cowden , where
the Clover .Leaf railway crosses the Balti
more & Ohio. The miners concluded that
the cars were to convey moro southern
negroes to Pana to take the places of strik
ers In the .coal mines here. A movement
was Inaugurated to intercept the train.
Later It was reasoned that the sending of the
coaches was a ruse of detectives to Induce
the miners to attempt another holdup and
to effect a capture of the entire crowd ot
unionists. The mlncro who were preparing
to leave town wcro ordered not to do so by
the union oinclala. The sheriff of Shelby
county arrived today and Is working on the
holdup of last Friday. It is probable ar-
icsts will follow.
A number of shoU were fired by deputies
at the Pana Coal company's * mine last night ,
The mllltla commander , Captain Craig , 1m-
mediately dispatched fifty men to the mine * .
The soldiers divided in squads and searched
the neighborhood , but no strikers were op-
prehended and Ho arms found. Two labor
agents left the city today for Alabama , beIng -
Ing escorted to the train by an armed deputy
sheriff. It Is expected that COO negroes will
arrive from Birmingham bcfbre the clos *
of'the week.
