County Superintendent McManua Is In
receipt of a number of new regulations
governing the uniform examination of
teachera for county certificates which have
Just been lasued by State Superintendent

tendent made these regulations, but by a
recent opinion of the attorney general It
held that the code gives the atate su
perintendent of public Instruction the au
thority to prescribe the conditions under
which county superintendents shall Issue
certificates, and that It Is also In the power
of the state superintendent to specify the
minimum age of applicants to whom cer-
i tlflcatee may be Issued by the county eu-
perlnteodent.

In conformity with this opinion of the
uoruej general siate Buptnnitnotni or-
rett has Just put Into effect regulations for
uniform examinations for teachers' cer
tificates. 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

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. The case Is looked
upon as establishing a precedent, and may
for this reason be reviewed, by the atate
elections board.

The certificate of nomination tor Donald

Accused of Wholesale Larceny.
Earl Roberts, Perry Little and Henry
Shaffer, the three young men charged with
stealing $300 worth of goods from the Dea

tried In Justice Duncan'a court today, but
the case was continued until October 2.
It la itated that the reason of the con
tinuance is to allow the grand Jury to make
a report, averting the necessity of a pre

will be sent before the grand Jury to tell
what they know of the case. The three

Some women are tireless In their home work, others a their work In tha
church or their favorite society or club ; they laugh and sing" and are happy.
But think of the poor one who ia left at home, utterly unable to make any
effort whatever, broken hearted and despondent.
The horror of female complaints ia upon her ; she ia oppressed by that
distressing bearing-down feeling, backache, her nerves are all gone, don't car
to move and waata only to be left alone.
O. dear alster, don't you know by thla time that Lydia E. Pinkham's
Veg-etabl Compound will aurely reach the cause of all thla trouble and
make you well and strong I It certainly will cure you aa certainly as the sua
ahinea. Read what Mrs. Gleaeon aaya :

MRS. M. GLKASON, Chicago, I1L '
"I want eyerr roman to know that Lydia E. Pinkam'g Vegetable
Compound has been of untold value to a large number of women of
our order. I know positively that it has cured many of the most dis
tressing diseases of the pelvic organs, falling of the womb, ovarian
troubles, and painful menstruation. There is no question in the world
but that it is superior to any medicine for women. I have used it my
self and know whereof I spoak. Yours truly, Mas. M. Gleason, 654
West Taylor St, Chicago.
Two More Sufferer Cured.
"Dkab Mrs. Prmiv: I waa
sick with female weakness. I took
all kinds of medicines, you might
Bay, and was operated on by doctors,
but they did me no good. After tak
ing five bottles of Lydia E. Pink
ham's Vegetable Compound I
found relief and am now enjoying
good health. Since taking your med
icine I have become the mother of a
little boy. I will praise your medi
cine aa long as I live." Mrs. Sabah
. Reeder, Amaden, Ohio. (Dec. 27,

publishing; only the unquestionable merit of Mrs. Pinkham's great medicine
can accomplish so much. Write to Mra. Pinkham, at Lynn, Mass. if you are

men who have been cured of female troubles by her guidance and medicine.
