will be devoted to tho enrolling of teachers
and assigning them to boarding places. The

In speaking of the plan of this year's ln
stltuto, County Superintendent Mc.Manus
said yesterday: "Tho work has been planned
so ns to glvo tho greatest possible freedom
In the selection of the work desired. Tho
program Is made so that teachers may at- !
tend eight lectures each day, but It Is ,
recommended that no ono attend more than
five. The function of the Normal lnstltuto 1
primarily Is not a revlow school, but a school 1
of method, In which tho great fundamental
truths of the sciences shall bo presented, In
accordance with certalu defined psychological
principles of teaching. It Is not designed for
elementary instruction, nor for thoso who
are weak In scholarship to obtain a cer
tificate." County Superintendent Mc.Manus purposes
to hold five meetings In each of the twelve
districts Into which the county has been
divided and ofllccrs for each of theso dls- .
trlcts will be chosen at the tlmo of tho In- I
stttuto. Any teacher who attends tho flvo
meetings will havo 5 per cent nddod to the
final average of his or her certificate. The
districts and places of meetings for tho sclio-
lastlc year, commencing In September, 1900,
aro as follows: ,

Suit AKnlnit Motor Ciiinpnny.
Tho retrial of tho personal Injury dimaga
suit of Mrs. Emma Holnian against tho
Omaha & C uncll Bluffs Railway nnd Ilrld;o
company has been speclnlly assigned for
today txrfore Judge Smith In the district
court. This Is the suit In which on Feb
ruary 24, 18D8, Mrs. Holnian secured a
verdict against tho motor compnny for $S,
000 for alleged permanent Injuries received
while getting on a car. The motor company
had set up the defense that tho plaintiff
was estopped from bringing suit by tho
statute of limitations. The plaintiff con
tended that Manager Dlmutock, on behalf
of the company, had offered to uettto and
that bringing nf iult had been delayed in
consequence and was brought ttt mon as it
wu found that a lettlement could be ar-
rlvcd at. Judge Thorncll set aside the vo
diet on tho grounds flint thero vas not sulll
dent evidence t show that .Manager blni
meek was authorized to settle dimagc
j claltrs against his company. Mrs.
Holnian
appealed and tho supreme court

CoiunilsMloiicrM Decline to Accede to
the Motor inn in n ' .HiiuufNtloit,
The park commissioners were unable lo
come to any arrangement at their regular
monthly session last night with tho motor
company as to the removal of the dirt In
the "cut" cntraiK'e to Fnlrmount park. At
torney Goniso F. Wright appenrad for tho
motor company and on Its behalf offered to
remove 3,000 yards, tho company to pay
half (he cost of siuh removal and the park
board tho other half. H Is estimated that
there nro about 0,000 yards of dirt now en
cumbering the entrance to the park nnd that
with the removal of half of this the rest
could be leveled off and graded bo that the
motor company could run Its enrs Into the
pnrk nnd round the loop. This proposition
did not meet with favor nt the hands of the
commissioners nnd by an unanimous Note
It was decided to reject the offer.
As the matter now stands the cntrnnce
from Graham avenuo to tho park Is blocked
for either cars or teams by thl3 dirt nnd
visitors to this popular resort aro compelled
to climb over the mass of dirt through tho
cut to get Into the park or else mnke a
long detour ovar tho hill. Tho general opin
ion expretsed last Suuday when there was a
large crowd of visitors to tho park was
that the commissioners should take somo
steps without any further delay to remedy
the nulsanco. The binrd discussed tho
matter for a considerable tlmo last night,
but was unable to come to any decision and
adjourned leaving the question unsettled.
At the suggestion of ex-Mayor Ilohrcr tho
board deglded to place nnd keep In thorough
repair tho grave of Samuel Bnyllsa In Fnlr

cured tho beautiful little park bearing his

DES MOINES. June 5. (Special Tele
gram.) About twenty building nnd loan
managers and nttomeys gathered at the
rooms of the stato executive council today
to dlscucs the law relative to these concerns
and to ugree upon a form of Incorporation
artlclts, Tho hearing continued all day
nnd adjourned to resume tomorrow morning.
Tho hearing was Informal, being conversa
tional Instead of taking the form of adi
dresses and formal arguments. Two points
only provoked disagreement. These related
to fixing a time for tho withdrawal of stock
and to the Issuanco of prepaid slock. Somo
of those who were henrd ut the council meet
ing said repeatedly that tho new law hid
sapped tho life of tho building and loan
companies and that they could never re
cover, but must eventually liquidate and
reorganlzo us local concerns exclusively.
"Wo do not ngrco with this," said Mr. A.
P. Fleming of tho Co-operntlvo Bank of
Iowa. "We do not take any stock In that
sort of talk. Tho new law docs not hurt
our business a particle and we expect to go
right on as we always have and adjust our
selves to every part of the law as con
strued by the, executive council."
Mr. Vnll of Marsballtowu was especially
emphatic about the effect of tho law.
Tho weekly crop bulletin of tho Iowa
weather nnd crop service issued today says:
"Tho first half of tho week was very
warm anil the latter part cooler than usual.
Tho mean temperature of tho week was
from 2 to 4 degrees above normal. The ra.n
fall for the week was quite unequally dis
tributed. Tho greatest amount reported
was C.31 Inches In the northern part of Cher
okee county, nnd numerous localities wero
visited by heavy downpours, causing somo
local damage by washing and flooding. Ex
cept In a few places tho showers brought
ample relief from tho drouthy conditions
prevalent In portions of the northern sec
tion. "Reports Indicate that the hay crop has
been materially cut short of an average In I
some portlcns of tho northern districts. The !
recent rnlns will greatly help pastures, but'
camo too late to restore the meadows to their 1
normal condition. But In tho larger part j
of the southern nnd central districts tho (
hay crop ranged from good to extra heavy, j
the main drawback being tho partial loss of
tho clover stand. In the southern section i
clover cutting will bo In progress within a !
few dnys.
"Nearly nil reports show very satisfactory
progress In cultivating corn, and the gen
eral condition of tho crop Is apparently
above tho average of the last ten years. Oats
show a tendency to become too rank In all
sections where the moisture has been ex
cessive. Other small grain crops are prom
ising. Pastures are generally excellent.
Garden truck Is making rapid growth."
Charles Young, ah employe of tho National

. Nothing is wo annoying and mortifying ns t muddy, rough nnd

in the system, which have found their way into the blood and
been carried to tho surface. Complexion wans, nowders and
tonics not only do not cure, but are damnglng to the skin anil daiiRerous to
health. You can not cure an internal disease with external remedies. Tha

S. S. S. purifies tho blood, makes it active and strong, when
it forces out all poisonous matters through tho natural chan

makes the skin smooth, clear, healthy and beautiful.
Mr. II. T. Shobe, 'J704 Lucas Ave.. St. LouU, Mo., says: "Mr daughter
wasnjlllqlcd for years with n disfiguring eruption on her face, which
rrsfnid all treatment. Him was taken fo two celebrated health spring',
but received no benefit. Many medicines were prescribed, but without
result, until we decided to try H. H. H.,und by the time the first bottle was
