The question of cumpulBory education w
como up before the next general meeting
of tbo Council Bluffs Women's club In the
shape of a petition to bo presented to the
next general assembly , and which Is being
circulated by the educational committee of
the lena Federation of Women's clubs. At
the biennial convention of the Federation
held in Burlington last May , the following
resolution \\nii adopted :
"That compulsory education for the elate
shall bo the object to engage the concen
trated efforts of the State Federation for
the next two years nnd that a committee
bo appointed to formulate methods ot work. "
A petition was drawn up which is now
being circulated among the various women's
clubs ot the state. It has already received
over 1,000 signatures , and Is as follows :
To tliR Senate nnd House of Ilcpresenta-
tlve1 ? ot the Twenty-eighth General As
sembly of Iowa : Your petitioners respect
fully show that under the laws of the state
wisely enacted to hccure the Olttuslon of
knowledge among the masset which Is de-
clniecl by the ordinance of 1787 to be one
of the trlngs "necessary to good government -
ment nnd the happiness of mankind , " the
people of. the state pay more taxes to maln-
t.iln thu common school system than nil
other tuxes combined , amounting In the
aggregate to about $8,000,000 per annum !
that such burden Is cheerfully borne l > y
the people because It Is recognl/cd that edu
cation U a public necessity to secure good
citizenship Hut your petitioners Rhow , that
the best results nro not obtained because
many parents nnd guardians do not send
their children to the schools for a. suf
ficient tlmo to oUtaln a fair common school
education.
Your petitioners thcreforn respectfully
pray that a law bo cnicted requiring nil
parents and guardians In the state hiv
ing children In their care , between the
nges of 7 , excepting whore there nro kinder
gartens , then G , and 14 jears , to send them
to school In the country districts not less
than sixteen consecutive vvBCks , nnd In
cities nnd towns not less than six con
secutive months during each > car , -with
such provisions for the enforcement , and
the exemption thereof of such children as
may bo physically unable to attend as
your wisdom shall deem proper. For which
jour petitioners will ever humbly pray.

The movement meets with much favor
among many ot the women of this city and
it Is expected that the petition will receive
a largo number ot signatures in Council
Bluffs. A prominent member of ono of the
women's clubs , for many years a teacher in
the public Bchools , r.ald :
"I , for one , am strongly In favor of such
a law , ns I believe compulsory education
Is much needed , especially in the rural dis
tricts. Experience has shown that in states
where such a law is In operation the en
rollment has been increased one-third. An
increased enrollment will naturally mean
an increase of teachers , and this will again
increase the expense of maintaining the
public schools , but I do not bellovo anyone
will seriously object to pay whatever tax
may be necessary to adequately support the
public schools of this state. The public
school system is a necessity and , not only
that , but is ono of if not the grandest of
our institutions. "
Senator John H. Gear waa in the city yes
terday for a short time on his way from
Burlington to Sioux City , where ho will Join I
the presidential party for the trip through I
Iowa. Senator Gear goes as the guest of
Governor Shaw. During his short stay in
the city at the Grand hotel a number of
leading republicans and others called to
pay their respects. Senator Gear was lookIng -
Ing remarkably well and sold he was feel
ing In the very best of health except for
a slight hoarseness caused by speaking at
a political gathering in West Liberty a
couple of nights ago.
Ho said ho did not care to discuss the
senatorial content , but thought everything
looked most favorable for him , as the ma
jority of the republican candidates for the
legislature were pledged for him. Talking
on tbo political outlook In the state , Senator
Gear said the prospects for a sweeping re
publican victory all along the line this fall
were never better In Iowa.

PRAISE FOR GALLANT SAILORS
Cnmmnnilor of llrnnliiKtoii D
1'lucKy IlcNlNtiuiuc Mmlc to Sudden
.Vttaelc nt Mnlnlimi.
WASHINGTON , Oct. 15. The Nnvy de
partment has made public a report from
Commander Tausslg of the Dennlngton , with
appended reports of subordinate officers , con
cerning an engagement at MnlaLon cii March
4 last. The purpose of the department in
making public the report appears to be
solely to cuake known the gallant conduct ot
the sailors engaged , and particularly that of
Assistant Engineer Wlnshlp.
A landing was made at Stalabor by a
force from the Bennlngton , the purpose be
ing to take photcfgraphlc views of the damage -
ago wrought by the bis shells from the
Monadnock fired at the priest's house the
preceding week. Although told by sorno
Chinamen that there were no armed insurg
ents about , Commander Taus = . | g took ample
precautions to prevent a surprise. Ono of
the steps taken was to post- the tender Ba-
langa so as to enfilade -the north -\vall. This
iboat was In charge"pf Assistant Engineer
Wlnshlp and rendered grwt tcrvtce. The
Insurgents appeared behind the entrench
ments and fired upon the Bennlngton's people -
plo and upon the Balanga , and after an hour
of desultory shooting , not being authorized
to retain the place and having taken the
photographa UcslroJ. Commander Tausslg
withdrew his men , who were flred at as ( hey
rowed away In their boats.
Wlnshlp is specially commended for gal
lantry by Commander Tausslg. Ho said ho
flred the thirty-sevcn-milllmeter on the
Balanga eighty-seven times , and although
wounded early In the atlon retained charge
of the gun and the Balngna , not only
throughout the action , but until the ship re
turned to Its anchorage about noon. The
Balanga was lying bo\\s on to the beach ,
very hotly engaged with the enemy In the
trenches , and the fire of musketry against
them was hot , although his men fought with
out cover till the Bonnington's landing force
had gotten safely beoiid range. Upon his
return to the Bennlngton Wlnshlp , though
wounded In flvo places , set the doctor to
look after Coxswain Terry , who wds slightly
wounded , before aeklng for medical attend
ance for himself. Commander Tausslg commends -
mends for special consideration Chief Mas-
ter-at-Arms William Mackay , Coxswain
Terry and Private KlrKman , although he
says the entire battalion behaved BO gal
lantly that were ho to name the deserving
hu would furnish a roster of the Mttallon
Ensign D. II. Campbell Is mentioned as de
serving great credit for the skill displayed
In placing the Bennlngton during the en
gagement , ho being at thci time In camrnam
ot the ship.
