CHILDREN'S
BOORS FOR RURAL SCHOOLS
Libraries to Bo Established Under Prorlilon
of Now State Law.
ADJUNCT TO THE COURSE OF STUDY
Details aa Worked Ont Sleet the Ap
proval of the Local Hdocators,
Who View the as a
Worthy One.
County Superintendent McManus la busily
engaged these days arranging for the estab
lishment of libraries In ovory school dis
trict In the county. This is being done
under the law passed by the last legislature
which makes the establishment of these
school libraries an imperative duty of the
township school directors.
Tho law provides that tho troaauror of
each Bchool township and each rural In
dependent district In tho state shall with
hold from tho annual apportionment not
less than G nor moro than IS cents, as may
bo ordered by tho board, for each person
of school ago residing In each achool cor
poration, for tho purchase of booka. The
law also makes It the duty of the State
Board of Educational Examiners to proparo
a Hat of books from which these libraries
shall bo formed. Tho Hot sent out by the
state board contains the names of 642
booka aultablo for achool libraries aid
properly classified to indicate for what
grade of pupils they are adapted.
In all of tho congressional townships
there aro nine schools, while In the follow
ing townships tho number of schools vary
from six to fourteon: darner, Lewis, Kane,
Carson, Macedonia, Loveland and Crescent.
Tho libraries In these schools for the first
year will consist of from ten to fifteen
books. The books will cost on an average
CO cents apiece and the entire amount to
be spent tn books this year In Pottawat
tamie county by tho school boards will, It
is estimated by County Superintendent Mc
Manus, amounts to something over $1,000.
The county superintendent has conferred
with all of the boards In the western half
of the county and sovoral In the eastern
portion. So far tho most of them have
decided to go to the limit allowed by tho
low, namely, 15 cents for each person of
school age, which Is between 5 and 21
years, tn their districts. It Is hoped to
have alt the libraries installed by the first
of the new year.
Many of tho township boards aro taking
advantage of the offer of tho atato to loan
out to each township a bookcase containing
fifty volumes. All that the state asks ts
that in case a book be lost tho township
shall replace It.
The libraries will be established In tho
school houses and will be In charge of the
teachers while school ts tn session. During
vacation the directors will tako charge of
the books. Every ohtld attending school
wilt be entitled to tho privileges of tho
library, but no child shall be entitled to
more than ono book at a tlmo. When the
number of books In the library Is Insuffi
cient to supply all tho pupils tho librarian
or teacher shall detormtno tho manner tn
which the books may be drawn. No child
will bo permitted to retain' a book longer
than two weeks.
In speaking of tho Hat prepared by tho
state board County Superintendent Mc
Manus said yesterday: "It ts an admirable
aoloctlon and woll graded to meet the re
quirements of tho small country schools."

Mia from Illinois Indentlflra the Ac
cused aa a. Land Swindler.
Thomas R. Sontor, In cuBtody at the
county jail awaiting trial on two charges
tn connection with a bogus land deal. In
which he Is alleged to have swindled Lou
geo & Lougee of this city out of $640, was
positively Identified yesterday by A. H.
Jackson of Morrison, 111., and W. II. Bull
of Rockwell, la., as the person who perpe
trated a similar fraud on them ten years
ago.
Jackson Is a business man of Morrison
and tn 1890 was victimized to the tune of
$3,840 in a deal similar to the one that
Benter, under the name of James L. Palmer,
ts charged with perpetrating on Lougeo &
Lougee of this city In October, 1898. Bull,
It appears, was mixed up In the transac
tion ttrough Sonter's misrepresentation
and was made a tool of by the Mem
phis man.
When confronted with Senter yesterday
morning In the sheriff's office they both,
without the slightest hesitation, Identified
him as tho man who had victimized thorn
ten years ago, although they had not seen
htm filnco. They recognized htm at once
by certain facial peculiarities and by roa
aon of bis crippled hand. For the first time
since being brought here from Missouri
Senter lost his tempor and when Jackson
and Bull stated he was the man who had
victimized them he became excited and
gave the He direct. He denied having seen
either of the men and denied being the
man they supposed he was.
Jackson had been on a still hunt for the
roan who had defrauded him ever since ho
discovered the swindle and when he read
of Senter's arrest In Missouri for tho al
loged crime hero he decided to take a look
at the man. He would have been here be
foro this, but watted until Bull was able
to accompany him.

FROM ARCHBISHOP KEANE
Itrport la Divan Out at Dubnaae of
Council's Coarse In Hatter of
Dividing- Archdiocese.
DUBUQUE, la., Deo. C. (Spoclal
Telegram.) Archbishop Keane Bald
today that the provincial council
Tuesday carefully considered the ques
tion of the division of this archdiocese and
the establishment of another see in Its
woBtern portion. "Wo will," he said,
"submit our conclusion and the reason for
It to tho holy see and when tho decision
has been reached It will be communicated
to tho public."
It will probably be two months beforo
Rome Is heard from. If a division Is made
a bull will be Issued Immediately. When
tho papal brief Is received by Archblahop
Koano he will call the blahops of the prov
tnco together again and the candidates
for tho purplo will be ballotted upon. Throe
names will be selected to bo forwarded to
Rorao. They will be marked respectively,
"worthy," "moro worthy," and "most
worthy." Following tho mooting of the
bishops there wilt bo a conference of the
archbishops' council. Tho priests compris
ing It will also select three names to be
forwarded to Rome. Of the six names sub
mitted the holy seo will select the one
upon whom the honor of tho purple will
be conferred.
SIOUX CITV. Ia.. Deo. 6. (Special.)--
Archbishop Keane himself Is now on rec
ord as practically assuring Bloux City that
It will be made a see city In the near fu
ture. In reply to an Inquiry from James
F. Toy, chairman ot a business men's com
mittee, the archbishop, In substance, tells
him that Sioux City should got a home
ready for tho new bishop and prepare to
welcome him properly. The letter says:
"In the light of probabilities I consider
It very likely that there will be a division
of tho diocese before long and that the
aee will be located at Sioux City. I re
peat, a probable outcome seems to point
atrnngly In that direction and I hope you
will cultivate In your peoplo both tho de
sire and determination to prepare to give
a blabop a rouatng welcome when he comes
and the means for making his ndmlnlstra
ttoa a success." The prevailing opinion
here tt that Bishop Lenlhan ot Cheyenne
will be the Bloux City bishop.
END OF TITUS AMENDMENT
Fatal Defect in Its Legislative Eeoord
Discovered in Time.
HOUSE JOURNAL PROVES NOT COMPLETE
Clerk Neglected to Spread Hie Amend
ment In Knit on the Record on tho
l)ny of Its 1'awagr and
Thns Invalidates It.
DES MOINES, Dec. 5. (Special.) After
the nowapapers and tho offlceholdcra and
officeseekers had fully decided that the
biennial tlectlon amendment to the state
constitution would not extend tho time of
ofllco of those officers who go out the first
week In January of 1901, as well as those
who go out the last week In Doccrabcr,
1901, and Just bb tho worst posalblo muddlo
had bcon cacapod by nearly everybody
agreeing that tho supremo court should de
cide that the amendment means what Its
authors Intended and not what It says, the
discovery Is mado ot a fatal defect In the
manner of Its adoption. Tho clerk of the
houso tailed to spread tho amendment In
full on tho Journal ot tho house at the tlmo
ot Its passage. This Is required specifically,
henco tho whole amendment Is void.
The enso seemo to bo so clear that there
can bo little controversy over It. Tho Iowa
supreme court killed n constitutional
amendment a few years ago by reason ot
somebody misplacing a comma. The court
has Insisted that absolute accuracy should
bo required In such matters. Tho letter of
tho law was not followed Jn the case of the
btonnlal flection amendment. Thus the
whole field Is open onco more for discus
sion. Attorrey acneral Romlcy, who has given
tho matter much consideration, declares
that tt tt Is true that the record ot the case
Is defective as It Is shown by the printed
Journals, then tho court can do nothing less
than dcclaro tho amendment void. Other
promlntnt attorneys say the same thing.
For a New Classification.
Tho Iowa railroad commission la now en
gaged In making investigations with a view
to a reclassification ot the Iowa roads be
fore the first of next year. Under tho Iowa
law the roads are put Into three classes
according to their earning capacity and gen
eral business, the object being to pormit
roads tot favorably situated to charge more
for freight and passenger traffic than the
big roads and thus to mako a profit. In
practice, however, practically all the roada
charge the rates provided for Class A roads,
which are the lowest rates. There are bo
many competing points tn Iowa on the many
cross lines that It ts almost Impossible for
the low-class roads to maintain any higher
rate than la demanded ot the high-class
roads. There are but tew ot the classes B
and C roads In the state now. The only ad
vantage In being la this class Is In case ot
lawsuits oyer rates, when the company can
always fall back on Its classification to pro
tect It In the higher rates.
Tho railroad commission this week had a
hearing on tho petitions of shippers for
changes In the freight classification on sun
dry articles.

I have betn tick with bearing down palm, pains In tht back, hips and legs. I purchased a bottle of Wine ef
Cardul and have taken ujt about two-thirds of It I have no pains at all new. I highly recommend Wine of Cardul
to any suffering woman. I would not do without It. Mrs. SUDIE PINCH,
Few women reslize that It Is possible to escape the torturing sickness they endure. They seem
to think the grinding agonies of falling of the womb, leucorrhota and disordered menstruation are a
part of Nature! demand on them. They go on suffering when Wine of Cafdul, the one thing Nature
has provided to make them happy and healthy, is so easily obtainable. Nine-tenths of the average
woman's suffering is caused by disordered menstruation, which quickly yields to the
WlNEo'CARDUI
treatment. Disordered menstruation results In leucorrhota, falling of the womb, and the other painful
maladies which cause those terrible dragging and bearing down pains. A woman who takes Wine of
Cardul secures freedom from those troubles. The menstrual disorders which burden the lives of other
women do not bother her. Is this not an easy way to secure relief? Ask your druggist for a $1.00
bottle of Wine of Cardul to-day and you will never regret it. '

Your medicine It a wonderful tonic for women. I had bun helpless for sometime and was not abls to do
my houMwerk when I was told ef this wonderful Wine of Cardul. Before I had uted half s bottle I could et out
and do part of my work. Your medicine Is wonderful and will do hist what you say It will,
