Slnco tho freo text book proposition, as
advanced by tho Wuff City Typographical
union, was glvtn publicity by The llco ex
clusively Saturday morning tho movomcnt
seems to have been rapidly gaining ground.
As forolold on Saturday tho Typographical
union took formal action on tho matter nt
a largely attended meeting yesterday aft
ernoon nnd tho following resolution was
unanimously ndoptcd:
Whereas, To the fore In nil matters per
taining to the interests of the laboring
class nnd believing that education Is nec
essary to the wclfaro of this country, there
foro be It . . .
Hesolved, That llluff City Typographical
union. No. 203, tnkc up the question of sub
mitting to a vote of the people a propo
sition looking to tho establishment of free
text books for the pultllc schools of the
Independent school district of Council
Hesolved. That the different labor or
ganizations, woman's clubs nnd tho news
papers of the city bo asked to co-opernto
with us In this movement,
Tho Idea embodied In tho resolution seems
to bo popular In nearly ovcry quarter, and
tho Indications already warrant tho conclu
sion that tho question will be submitted to
the voters at tho election In March.
Tho Bco was Informed Inst evening by a
prominent Council Illuffs woman, who Is
actively engaged In club work, that the
movement would be most enthusiastically
endorsed by tho woman's clubs of tho city.
Three members of tho school board, who
were seen last evening, will work for the
carrying of tho proposition from start to
finish, nnd n fourth, while of tho opinion
that the present system Is best fitted for
tho needs of this community, snys that ho
bollovcs free text books will eventually bo
tho universal order, and that ho Is not pre
pared to say that ho will opposo the movo
mcnt. In order to get tho proposition before
tho pcoplo tho stnto lnw provides that n
petition must bo signed by one-third or
more of tho votors of the district and pre
sented to tho secretnry of the school board
thirty days before tho annual election. Tho
board may. If it so desires, rcriulro that thn
petition be signed by a greater proportion
than one-third of the voters, but It Is gen
erally conceded that tho board will not ex
crclso tills right becauso of tho fact that a
petition actually signed by one-third of tho
voters Is conclusive evidence that tho prop
osition Is of sufficient public Interest to
warrant Its being placed beforo tho elec
tors. Tho law furthor specifics that the books
shall not bo given outright to tho pupils,
but only loaned to them and they shall
be responsible for damages or failure to
return. The board is authorized to mako
'such provisions as It deems necessary for
tho safekeeping and preservation of tho
books from tlmo to time.
A coramlttoo consisting of T. It. Drake,
A. Pickering, II. P. Davis, D. M. Nlcoll
and W. E. Ross was appointed by tho Ty
pographical union to present tho matter
to the various labor organizations and to
tho woman's clubs, who will work Jointly
In securing the petition.

nnd tho soubrette work of Helen Myrtle,
who Is nn old favorite with the theater
goers of this city, is fully up to her past
efforts. Tonight tho company will present
the society hit, "Young Mrs. Wlnthrop,"
for which a heavy royalty Is paid to the

tho elegant new scenery of tho Dohany will

work aimed In a certain direction. It In
Nowbro's Hcrplcldc, a preparation that
cures baldness, prevents falling hair and
speedily and permanently eradicates dan
druff. Theso ovlls nro caused by a germ
or pnrnslto that burrows Into tho scalp,
throwing up dandruff as It seeks to snp tho
llfo of tho hair at the root. Thcro's no
baldness without falling or thin hair, no
thin hair without dandruff and no dandruff
if tho germ Is destroyed. Newbro's Herpl
cldo Is the only preparation that will do the
work. "Destroy tho causo, you rcraovo tho

DEADLY CAIUION MO.-OXIDK.
'! Insidious nnit Fntnl Effect Illus
trated In Krw York.
Tho recent death in Now York of ono
laundress and narrow cscapo of another
through tho breathing of tho escaping gases
from a laundry stove In which there was n
coko fire, both of them overcome whllo
awako and working, nnd in a largo room
full of doors and windows, rocnlls tho
graphic account given by Dr. A. E. Miller
of tho wholesale poisoning which occurred
by this same gas, carbon mon-oxldo, nt tho
Snacfell mining disaster. A rescuing party
was overtaken by the gas nnd ono of their
number kept. writing a description of his
sensations as long as his pencil woul'd
traco words. Ho wroto:
"Wo all sat without moving or trying to
escnpo; tho foot of the ladder was closo by,
yet nono of us made nny effort to go to It
nnd ascend even a single rung. Wo nono of
us tried to walk a dozen steps, which would
have led us to tho ot,her side of tho shaft
partition, whero wo nJl know there wns a
current of better nir."
The poisonous gases In theso cases were
carbon mon nnd dt-oxlde, chlelly tho former,
both of which are present In ordinary Illu
minating gas. Tho carbon mon-oxlde, which
is by rar tho most dangerous of the two, is
present in tho so-called water gas (which
has largely replaced tho old-fashioned coal
gas In the largo cities) to tho extent of 20
or 30 per cent. Its Insidious nnd .pnrulyzlng
nnturo may bo seen from tho way in which
the rescuing party simply sat down an 1
waited for death, when a fow steps would
hnvo saved them, and In tho fact that two
able-bodied, healthy women wero ovorcomc
whllo wide awako and not six feet away
from several doors nnd windows.
Tho dangerous stealthlness of this gas
seoms to bo duo to Its gradual combination
with the haemoglobin of tho blood (which
is the agent carrying oxygen to tho tissues
and removing waste carton dl-oxide) into a
very stablo compound, so stnblo In fact that
it prevents tho usual absorption of oxygon
In tho lungs, and thus readily brings about
an asphyxiation of the tissues. It Is the
poisonous gas given off from burning char
coal, which Is sometimes used for suicidal
purposes.

DES MOINES, Dec. 30. (Special.) The
candidacy of Scnntor William E. Mnson of
Illinois, for re-election at tho closo of
his present term, was virtually announced
here by his brother, Edward It. Mason, clerk
of tho United Suites circuit court nnd deputy
clerk for tho district court, who has ust re
Vtrncd from n visit to his brother In Wash
ington, "Tuero seems to bo no doubt that Senator
Mason will bo re-elected," ho said. "If
you had been In his olllco as I have, and
had Been tho congratulatory telegrams nnd
letters that keep pouring in on him from
all over his state and tho cutlro country,
you would think htm n mnn not cosily de
feated. The Chicago papers ore publishing
portraits of men who asplro to his position,
but tho election will not bo hold next
year and it Is too early to predict how the
campaign will develop. If the present Il
linois legislature should elect a successor
to Senator Mason it would nnme him. He
will bo returned to the senate If ho wishes
to go for unothcr term, und nt present It
seems best and probablo that ho will, under
tho present conditions, nsk for another
term."

New and Interesting litigation Is certain
to follow nn attempt on tho part of the
receiver for tho Underwriters Mutual Flro
Insurauco company of Sioux City, to collect
u. 10 per cent assessment on premium notes
given tho company when It wau doing busi
ness. Tho company went Into tho hands
of n receiver In 1891 oil nppllcatlon of tho
policy holders, who suffered losses nnd
could not get a settlement.
Tho plan of doing business wns to take
from policy holders notes for sums about
tho equal to what payments would bo In an
old lino company on tho policies taken out.
It wns represented to tho Insured persons
that tbeso notes would never bo collected
slnco nil loses would bo met by tho regular
as sessmcnts and that tho notes wero merely
to guaronteo losses nnd make tho company
stronger. Theso notes remained in tho
hands of tho receiver na a part of tho as
sets of tho company. No effort was mado
Immediately to collect tho notes.
Now, after six years waiting, tho re
ceiver has Bent out to all persons giving
theso notes that they must pay 10 per cent
of their faco to moot demunds of credi
tors of tho company. In several places
policy holders have combined togothor to
light in tho courts nny attempt to collect
on these notes or unpaid premiums. At
Iowa City a fund wns raised in 1894 nnd
placed la a bank to bo used to fight BUch
cases. This fund has remained there draw

committee In charge has hired a lawyer
and will resist payment. Tho earao Is truo

which Is ono of tho county hospitals of tho
state, jvell equipped for tho caro of Insane
persons. It has been demonstrated that tho
incurable Insane can bo maintained at
theso county'hospltnls at less oxpenso to
the counties than nt tho state hospitals, and
tho state board of control is In receipt
of many requests to havo patients returned
to tho county hospitals. Inasmuch as the
state hospitals are already crowded beyond

Thievery Grown More Common.
Information Is rocolved hero that In tho
southern counties of the stnto thievery has
becomo so common of lato that farmers
living In the vicinity of Farragut havo
formed an organization nnd aro prepared
to glvo a warm reception to tho thieves
should they again mako their nppcaraue.c
In that particular section of tho state. Tho
gang evidently has headquarters In Mis
sourl nnd tho plunder Is taken across the
line, but work has been dono In Farragut,
Coin, Shenandoah and elsewhere. A lino
horso was stolen from tho farm of Marlon
Grny, In Fremont county, and at tho came
tlmo a horso was taken which belonged
to an employe on tho farm. Two horses
were stolen near Coin and attempts wero
mado nt sovcral other places, but the
thloves wero olther discovered nnd driven
off or failed to get Into tho barns, H.
Rogers of Farragut lost some hogs, and
tho theft of laprobes nnd harness was re
ported from other farmers. Iowa has been
reasonably freo from organized bands of
raiding thloves for a number of years owing
to tho exlstenco of so many local associa
tions prepared to deal quickly with offend'

of theater-goers for a number of years,
was given In the newspapers of tho coun
try, tho snmo being In tho form of nn In'
tervlew with Rev. John W. Gelgcr of Mn
rlon, a well known secret society man,
presumed to be well Informed on tho mat
ter becauso of tho fact that tho homo of
the Cherry Sisters Is near Marlon.
Now tho sisters are out with a signed
stntemcnt In which they brand as falso
and malicious the statements made In re
gard to them and their domestlo affairs.
They ay that they have not squandered
tho fortune they made while playing nt
Hatnmcrstrln's in New York becnuso they
did not mako a fortuno thero for them
selves. They claim they nro prosperous
nnd declnro that tho article was not
only falso but Insulting and thnt It was
"attacking our good name, our Intellect,
our personal appearance, our social stand
ing, our private and financial affairs, and
Inst, but not least, our beautiful nnd high
class concert."
Tho Cherry Sisters have nn appeal case
pending In the supreme court of lown,
which it Is expected will bo heard some
time this year. This wus u suit for damages
against tho Des Moines Lender for a crit
icism of their "beautiful and hlgh-clnss
concert," which was thrown out of court
summarily. They appealed tho case to
tho supremo court.

A great deal of significance attaches to
an editorial in tho last Issue of tho low.i
Staats Anzlegcr, tho German democratic
organ of Iowa, edited by Colonel Joseph
Elboeck, who headed tho llrynn electoral
ticket In Iowa In tho campaign of this year.
Colonel Elboeck was not only ono of the
ritndldntcs for cltctor-at-large, but ho was
also ono of tho principal tlryan speakers
during the canvass. He notes tho fact that
tho populists now repudiate General James
I). Weaver, und ho himself prnctlcnlly
serves notlco on Weaver that he enn hnvo
no nbldlng place In tho democratic party.
Tho Anzclgcr says:
'General James H. Weaver, tho great
commoner of lown, and Indeed of tho United
Stntes, a greater man Intellectually, In
reality, than tho moro relobratcd William
J. llrynn, has been read out of tho populist
party by tho Irrepressible mlddlc-nf-the
wny populist, R. II. Wcller. The state com-
mlttco of that wing of tho party which
would revolutionize the finances of this
country so thnt everybody should bo able
to borrow as much money from Undo Sam
as they want nt 2 per rent per annum,
nnd thus 'mako money plenty,' has ex
pressed In its gathering in this city Inst
week Its utter condemnation of the fusion
Idea of General Weaver, who co-operated
with the democratic parly, not out of nny
pnrtlculnr lovo for that party, but bocnuse
ho could rntlonnlly expect to come nearer
n victory In thnt party than hy nctlng
separately. For this ho Is lgnomlnously
kicked out of tho populist party, nnd tho
question now arises, whero Is the general
to tnko up his political abode In tho future?
"In tho possible reorganization of tho
democratic party on tho old lines of sound
money nnd tho leaving out of all tho op
timistic and anarchistic vagaries with
which the platform has been weighted down
during tho pnst flvj years, General Weaver
would hardly bo wanted, for there Is no
greater Inflationist In all tho land than tho
general. Long beforo nnd slnco ho ran for
tho presidency on tho greenback ticket ho
has traversed every stato In the union nnd
employed his eloquent tonguo to persuade
tho pcoplo that tho country Is crying for
more money nnd that tho uecded cash could
be so easily supplied, becauso all that was
necessary for the government was to issuo
paper mrtey without limit, nnd, ns It would
havo tho government stamp, everybody
would want It.
"To such n policy tho democratic party
has not and will not likely In tho futuro
glvo Its assent. General Weaver would,
therefore, ho sadly out of placo In tho re
organized democratic party, even If ho w.in
during tho past flvo years, so to speak, the
head of tho freo silver clomcnt of tho party,
nnd he will havo to look elsewhere for a
political heme. Ho Is evidently a great
leader without a party."
