These require, In the flrst place, that such certificates shall be of three grades first, aecond and third. A special certificate and a kindergarten certificate are also authorized to be Issued as for merly. The first grade certificate Is to be Issued for a term. of two years, and all appli cant! must lubmlt proof of thlrty-elx weeks' successful experience In teaching. Second grade certificates are not to be Is sued for a term to exceed one year. In counties where three grades are recog nlied the applicant for a aecond grade certificate may be required to give evi-. dence of at least three months' successful experience In teaching. Third grade cer tificates may be limited at the discretion of the county superintendent to one or two terms. Special and kindergarten cer tificates may not be issued for a term to exceed one year. The regulations provide that the exami nation iball be held In the office of the county auperlntendent on the lait Friday and Saturday In each month. Special ex aminations, however, may be held at the discretion of ths county .superintendent elsewhere. Applications made at Irregular times must be rejected unless the appli cant Is able to give good reasons for not ettendisg ths regular examinations. Th state sunerlntendent has decided that all 'applicants for teachers' certifi cates must be at least 18 yean of age must present such evidences of good moral character as the county may demand.

FILE NOMINATION PAPERS fallibility that Prohibitianiit Eight te Plaoa May Be Teatei COMMITTEE MAY CERTIFY BIRDSALL'S Slate Executive Council endlna- Ont ftew Blanks to Assessors In Conformity with the Present Laws. (From a Staff Correspondent.) DES MOINES. Sept. 28 (Special.) The nomination papers for J. D. C. McFar land cf Des Moines, as prohibitionist candi date for congress In the Seventh district against Captnlu Hull, were filed with the secretary of state today and accepted. Un less someone questions the regularity of the nomination the name will go on the official ballots. There Is some doubt as to whether the certificates would bear Inves tigation. The convention was held out side the district and the nomination made at Waterloo at the time the state conven tion and by the delegates to the stats con vention. This was dons with all the pro hibition nominees for congress. The usual custom of . having separate conventions was done away with and the delegates to ths state convention held the eleven dis trict conventions. But the prohibition committees In filing the McFarland papers certified that the call for the convention Included nomination of candidates for con gress and that the delegates were selected with that In view as well as te nominate a state ticket.- The papers being In legal form have been accepted and their cor rectness can only be questioned on a pro ceeding to prevent placing the names on the official ballots.

Lymeburner of Dubuqne as socialist candi date tor congress In the Third district was filed today, which makes It certain there will be five tickets In the Third district.

The certificate of nomination tor Donald Montgomery of Sioux county for member of the legislature was received and re turned because It did not state he was a candidate to fill a vacancy. The vacancy Is one caused by the removal of C. W. Carter from Rock Valley to Grlnnell and his subsequent resignation.

All the atate'a witnesses will be sent before the grand Jury to tell what they know of the case. The three accused were formerly employed by the Des Moines Drug company, and were ar rested last summer, charged with a whole sale thieving by billing goods out of the house to customers and then having the teamsters haul the goods to their homes Instead of to the depots for consignment.
