Presuming that the former telegram In
viting President Roosevelt to visit Council
Bluffs on his western trip had been mis
understood and taken to mean that It was
desired he stop over here on his way west
on Friday, September 26,' another telegram
was sent by National Committeeman
Ernest E. Hart explaining that It was
hoped .the president while In Omaha Sat
urday, September 27, would be able to spare
sufficient time to take a run over to Coun
cil Bluffs and spend an hour or so In the
city. In the event of the president enter
taining the Invitation it was proposed to
place a special motor at the disposal of the
presidential party so that a rapid trip to
and from Council Bluffs could be made.
Previous arrangements, however, prevent
the possibility of President Roosevelt pay
ing Council Bluffs a visit at this time, as
the following telegram received by Mr.
Hart last evening will show:
WASHINGTON, D. C, Sept. 13.

PLANS TO RECTIFY ERRORS
County Attorney Helps Oat the School
Board of Garner Town
ship. The directors of the school district of
Garner township have evolved a plan
whereby they hope to nullify the effect
of State Superintendent Barrett's reversal
of the ruling of County Superintendent Mc
Manua In the case of effecting the change
of textbooks In the district. There was
no opposition to the action of the board
changing the textbooks, except by the pa
trons of the schools in one subdistrlct, and
they contended that the meeting at which
this action was taken was Irregularly
called. The state superintendent upheld
them and held that the action of the board
was null end void as the meeting at which
It had been taken had been irregularly
called.
Several other meetings of the board at
which hills had been allowed and ordered
paid, and at which contracts for the build
ing of schools bad been let had been held
which under the ruling of the state su
perintendent had been Improperly called
and the directors . have now evolved a
scheme to remedy these defects. They called
upon County Attorney Ktllpack yesterday
and obtained from him a form of resolution
ratifying the actions at these Improperly
called meetings which the county attorney
aays will rectify matters and make the
former actions legal and binding.
It Is proposed to bring up this resolution
for adoption at the regular annual meeting
of the board Monday night. J. J. Cook,
who appeared as principal plaintiff In the
appeal against the action of the school
directors In changing the textbooks in the
district, is now a member of the board, and
he Is expected to make a fight on the adop
tion of the resolution. In the event of Its
adoption It is said there- will be further
litigation and that another appeal will be
taken to the county superintendent and

opinion that a resolution ratifying the ac

regularly hold or not, will be sufficient to
settle the controversy and place the ob-
jecttng patrons of the schools out of court. I

I.lttle Work In Federal C'onrt.
The docket for the September term of
federal court, which will open In this city
next Tuesday, Is the lightest on record. It
contains but two law cases assigned for
trial, one equity rase and one bankruptcy
matter. Twenty-two old rases remain on
file, but none has been listed for trial this
term. It is also said that the grand Jury
will have little to do, there being but few
criminal cases to come before It. Since the
opening of a new district and a federal
court at Creston and the removal of the
headquarters of the several federal officers
of this district to Dos Moines, the business
In the court here has been gradually but
surely decreasing. A few years ago when
Clerk Steadman and Marshal Bradley had
their headquarters here the terms of fed
eral court lasted several weeks, during
which the federal building was always a
scene of unusual activity.

ENTHUSIASM IS ONE-SIDED
Iewa Democrats Hare Manapolj of the
Despondency at the Oomteit.
CANDIDATES DESERT THE TICKET
Ipholdera of Kansas City Platform
Are Discontented, and Show So
Willingness to Support
the Cause.
(From a Staff Correspondent.)
DES MOINES, Sept. 13. (Special.) De
spite the promises of those democrats who
pleaded for a platform without mention
of free sliver In It the democrats of Iowa
have not as yet manifested any great en
thusiasm over their state ticket, and the
republican management has not encount
ered anything of a discouraging nature. On
the contrary, the campaign in Iowa has
started out with all the enthusiasm with
the republicans and the despondency all
with the 'others. Tho personnel of the dem
ocratic state ticket has not attracted even
the- enquiries of the curious and the dem
ocratic state committee has not taken the
trouble to open headquarters or make a
move toward having any state campaign.
The weekly democratic newspapers that
have been upholding the Kansas City plat
form are generally either silent In regard
to the work of the state convention in turn
ing down free silver or they are muttering
discontent and making half-veiled threats.
The only campaign the democrats are
capable of making at all is In the con
gressional districts and this campaign has
not progressed far enough yet to Indicate
what raay be expected. They are most
hopeful of the Second district, and next
to this believe they can win the First and
Sixth. If they can rally enough strength
under the name of Boies they will make a
hard fight In tho Third, but their candidates
have got off the ticket in most of the
other districts or they have utterly failed
to secure candidates. Such an epidemic
of democratlo declinations has never before
been known in this state. Word has been
received here that some members of the
democratic state committee hope to get the
committee Into working order early next
month and have headquarters opened.
Making a Good Start.
The republican committee Is making a
good start toward a campaign. This Is
the second year of the chairmanship of Mr.
Spence, and the experience of last year has
enabled him to pick bis ground carefully.
The district conferences held the past week
In Fort Dodge, New Hampton, Burlington,
Waterloo and elsewhere, have been highly
satisfactory. At these conferences the
chairman cf county committees are present
with some of the local candidates and lead
ing speakers of the districts. In most cases
the candidates for congress have also been
present to consult with the committeemen.
Details of party organization are talked
over, plans mnrtp for cnllwpMnn of the nec
essary funds for the campaign, the work
of polling the counties by voting precincts
Is mapped out and the work of the speak
ers Is discussed. The entire work of se
curing speakers and assigning them ia left
In charge of A. F. Dawson, private secre
tary of Senator Allison, who has had this
work In charge under several of the state
committees. He enjoys personal acquaint
ance with a large number of the prominent
men of the country - and thus Is ablet o
do business with them-with full knowledge
of their capabilities. A number of speakers
from outside the state will be used in the
campaign, and nearly all the well known
local speakers, of whom there are hundreds.
At the conferences the matter of speakers
Is carefully considered and the wants of
different communities ascertained. The com
ing week there will be conferences, be
ginning on Tuesday and following the rest
of the week, as follows: Sioux City, Coun
cil Bluffs, Creston,. Ottumwa, and Cedar
Rapids. The date for (he Seventh district
conference has not been fixed. In the mean
time the state committee Is having pre
pared the necessary literature and he ma
chinery for the polling of the state Is being
well greased.
Advance Guard of Odd Fellows.
Several hundred of the delegates to the
sovereign grand lodge of Odd Fellows which
meets in Des Moines next week, have al
ready arrived In Des Moines and have filled
the hotels and lobbies. This afternoon all
he delegates and visitors here were given
a trolley ride through the city and enter
talnment at Union park. Tomorrow they
will attend the annual sermon to be de
livered by Rev. H. O. Breeden, In
the Central Christian church. The sov
ereign lodge, meets here on ' Monday and
with it all the auxiliary societies. Repre
sentatives are here from nearly every state
In the union. It is learned that Hot
Springs, Ark., will make a strong bid for
the next sovereign meeting, andV there will
be other cities asking for the privilege of
entertaining the lodge. The Patriarchs Mil
itant will encamp at the state fair grounds
during the week. Many candidates for the
head offices are appearing in the lobbies
with their workers. It Is anticipated that
from 75,000 to 100,000 visitors will come
to Des Moines during the week and that
I the city will be crowded beyond all past ex
erlence.
More Frosts In Iowa.
More frosts are reported in Iowa this
morning. Reports reach the weather bu
i reau from the corn regions Indicating kill
ing frosts at nearly every station. The
' local experts, however, Interpret killing
frost to mean frost that will kill tender
vines and vegetables of this character and
not the more sturdy plants such as corn,
etc. Such frosts are also reported through
out the com and wheat belt ef the United
States except In the. Columbus district.
This section of the belt escaped completely.
Frosta are reported to the local weather
bureau from Iowa stations as follows: Ce-
! dar Rapids, heavy; Centervllle, heavy;
Charles City, killing; Des Moines, heavy;
Esthervllle, killing; Forest City, killing;
Iowa City, killing; Iowa Falls, heavy; Keo
aqua, killing; Maquoketa. killing; Mar
shalltown, killing; Ogden. killing; Osceola,
light; Waterloo, heavy. The minimum tem
perature registered between the hours of
5 and this morning showed ths tempera
ture to be two degrees lower In this
locality that the minimum temperature of
yesterday morning. Yesterday the low
est mark reached was 37. This morning
the mercury fell to 35.
