NEW RECORD OF ATTENDANCE Southwestern Iowa Teacher' Association Sets a Mark for Others. SESSIONS OF INTERESTING CHARACTER Sever Itefore Una Snob an Array of Talent Been Provided for an Iowa District Con. ventlon. J The annual meeting of the Southwestern Iowa Teachers' association, which will close this morning, has not only beaten any previous ' record so far as attendance is concerned, but Is generally conceded to have been the most successful session In the history of the association. Never have the teachers of any of tha four districts In Iowa had such a program offered them as has been presented this year in thla city. Not only has the meeting now drawing to a close scored an unqualified success in every particular, including attendance, but is has set the pace, so as to speak, for the meeting of the state association which will be held in December at Des Moines. So great has proven the success of the conference meetings. Introduced as an In novation at this year's meeting of the Southwestern association, that it was an nounced yesterday they would be adopted by the state association at its annual meet ing this year. Heretofore the state associa tion has had "round table meetings" at its annual session, at which certain subjects were discussed, but unlike this meeting of the Southwestern association these dis cussions were not conducted and led by specialists. The plan started here will in the future be followed by the state associa tion. The enrollment yesterday reached the 750 mark and of this number approximately 400 wero of the town teachers. This Is a gain of almost 150 over last year's enrollment, which was 608. A noticeable tact of this meeting was that many towns in the dis trict were represented by their teaching force and the same may be said of many of the school districts In Pottawat tamie county. The circular of State Su perintendent Barrett urging the attendance of every teacher in the southwestern dis trict bore fruit, as Indicated by the heavy enrollment. High Callingr of Teacher. Preceding the conference meetings yes terday morning, the association was treated to a most interesting address by President D. F. Bradley of Orlnaell college, who spoke on "The High Calling of the Teacher," saying In part: There is for the self-respecting teacher little chance for pecuniary recompense or public fame as reward for his services to the state and trie individual. What, then, has he no reward? Emphatically yes, and rewards all the more satisfactory becauoe they cannot be figured up in dollars or tents, or tabulated In honors and emolu ments connected with publlo fame. They are the rewards which come in the con sciousness of having given freely to build up character In the individual and cihia tion In the community. They are rewards which consist in the enrichment of one's own life, and the enlargement of one's own sympathy. They are the rewards which a man feela who has written a hymn which comforts and consoles. They -are the re wards of the mother who has reared beau tiful children. They are the rewards of a ratrlot who feels that though he perishes the nation Is rendered safe. This then is the situation of the teacher, that deprived of mere commercial and po litical rewards he is able with all the more enthusiasm to enter upon his work, seek ing those higher compensations which are of the spirit. He is free to give full scope to auch visions as are kindred to those of the artist and the poet and the singer of celestial melodies. This constitutes his calling, a high calling, distinguishing it from those callings which have more im mediate reference to material things. A high calling, as distinguished from gainful callings, for his gains are not his own. His success means the gain of those he serves, the gain of th community in which his visions find fulfillment, the gain of all man kind. With such a conception of the rewards ar.d compensation we shall have the tfacher, who Is not content merely to do what he Is hired to do. but who will give himself In devotion to his district or to his ward. I mean by this the teacher who counts his compensation only an incident, and who is teaching In order to do all the good he can. He will not merely try to convince the directors that he la earning his salary, he will try to satisfy his own noblest conceptions of what a good, strong, kindly man ought to be among people a here he Is looked up to as a teacher. It Is only as we conceive that teachers are missionaries sent forth to preach a gospel of noble being and honest thinking that we shall do our best work. Without the nec essary spirit we are of all men and women the most foolish. We can do far better for our selfish ends in some other voca tion. But when we consider that to us Is committed practically the entire fashioning of a generation of men and women we shall have a sense of responsibility without which no one should dare to teach. Methods of Teaching. At the afternoon session Prof. Frank Darling of the Chicago Normal school, spoke on "Methods In Teaching Geography." He advocated commencing teaching pupils geography in the primary grades, by having them acquire a knowledge of the typography of the school surroundings and branching out the pupil progressed through the higher grades. He took the position that no child who attended the publlo school was too young to commence to learn this branch of study. Miss Florence Holbrook, principal of the Forestvtlle school In Chicago, addressed the association on "Methods In Teaching Eng lish In the Grades." She said that the teaching of literature should be begun in the primary grades and continued all through the grades, in conjunction with reading. She spoke of the method In vogue In the Chicago schools and recommended that pupils In the primary grades be taught as a starter to learn and read Longfellow's poems, which she said were peculiarly adapted for the young. The feature of the evening session, was the lecture by Dr. M. V. O'Shea of the University of Wisconsin, hi subject being "Education for Life." Dr. O'Shea, like Superintendent Cooley of Chicago, defended the teaching of the so-called "fads" in the public schools, which he claimed were necessary for the proper fitting of any young man or woman for the duties that would double upon them when entering the world on leaving school. He said In j part : I Alms of Modern Education. j What modern education Is trying to do Is to give to the child those experiences in the school that will enable him to deal with all phases of the world when he comes up against It later. Modern education In troduces the child to a knowledge of na ture, so that when he gets outside he can deal with nature. Now. he may atudy grammar, spelling and arithmetic six hours a day for eight years and be prautlcally no mora capable of understanding the world of things when ri9 has to deal with It. Of course, he will learn some things In spite of the school; we cannot keep him away from nature altogether. But what the ii hool premises t do Is net to let this thing tuke place gratuitously, but to equip the pupil with K'rcept'.oris and memories and reasonings regarding nature, and then alien he gets out he can use these thins to interpret natural phenomena. And If ha does not have them he will be absolutely helpless in the fare of nature. Again, tha school seeks primarily to give the pujill in the sobuuL experiences In ad-, justing himself to hut felluws. it puts him Into social situations In hlstorv. literature and the like, and through dealing with these he becomes equipped te deal with the actual situations when he meets them. And he msy have all the drill and drudgery of a life time In grammar and cube root and be utterly unprepared to get on In society. Bo the modern school alms to give th pupil experiences of every sort that he will And of use In manhood. Reception to Visitors. At the close of the afternoon session a reception was tendered the visiting teach er by the teacher of the Couacll Bluff chools and a very enjoyable social hour wa spent. Dainty refreshment were served and the visitor given an oppor tunity to thoroughly Inspect the new high school building and It equipment. At the afternoon and evening sessions several mu sical selections were given by Mr. L. R. Hypeo, Mrs. Mullis, Miss Porterfleld, Mies May Caldwell. Dr. Lewi, Mr. Thlck tua and Mr. Haverstock. The election of officers will be held this morning. These were named yesterday afternoon as a nominating committee; Prof. Sims, Stuart; Mrs. Cowglll. Vlllisca; Trot. Wheeler. Clarlnda; Prof. Beverldge, Mis souri Valley; Prof. Elliott, Corning and Prof. Thomas, Council Bluffs. It Is believed that the office of president will fall to Su perintendent Clifford of this city.

Bryan of Red Oak, Mis Kate Magulre of Adair, Prof. Blodgett of Logan and Superintendent French of Cres ton.

LEY1C1I NUT ALLOWED BAIL Grand Jury Returns Iidictment Charging Murder in First Degree. CLOSING UP WORK OF THE CAMPAIGN Coal Deposit Discovered on Land Ad Joining Stats Asylum Farm at Clarlnda and Company Formed to Work It. (From a Staff Correspondent.) DES MOINES, Oct. 31. (8peclal.) The Polk county grand Jury has indicted Har ris Levlch and James Walker for the mur der of Isaac Finkelsteln In August last. The exact nature ot the additional evi dence which was presented to tho grand jury Is not known, but it la understood that the proof of their connection with the murder is now much stronger than when they had a preliminary hearing some time go. It was the general impression then that there waa not sufficient evidence to warrant a trial, but additional evidence baa been secured. Finkelsteln waa an ex-po-Uceman who had been making trouble be cause of the fact that he was not given a position again under the new administra tion. He made the accusation that the present city administration was engaged in protecting the gamblers and securing pay therefor. The quarrel had become bit. ter and was being carried Into the news papers, involving a large number of the city officials and others. One night eoms one struck Finkelsteln over the head with a whlffletree as he waa walking home and he was found dead on the sidewalk. Lev lch waa arrested and afterward Walker was taken Into custody. It was the the ory of the city officials that the cause of his death grew out ot a peraonal quarrel between Finkelsteln and Levlch and that the latter employed Walker, a colored man, to assault his enemy, but not with the ex pectation that Finkelsteln would be killed. Levlch has been out on ball, but Walker has been held in jail. Both have been dis creet and have said nothing that would indicate guilt or any knowledge of the case. The murder created a great sensa tion at the time and threatened to Involve ths city administration in a great scandal, and for this reason the city official have been active In ferreting out the culprits. The county attorney claims that sufficient evidence ha been secured to sustain the theory of the state aa to the incidents connected with the murder. This afternoon Levlch declared again his Innocence of connection with the murder of Finkelsteln, but Bald that he knew who killed the ex-policeman and will be able to prove It when It become necessary. It Is expected be will spring a new theory of the murder when he comes to trial. Lev lch was not allowed ball and Walker re mains In jail. Committees Closing- Wottc. A meeting ot the democratic state com mittee was held here this afternoon to close tip the business for the campaign. The committee haa maintained head quarter and baa engaged In some busi ness, but most of the actual detail work of the campaign has been turned over to the congressional committees. The state committee has devoted Itself to the work ot organization, practically In preparation for a campaign next .year. The republican state committee Is closing up buslasss and preparing to vacate the spacious rooms oc cupied. Nearly all the work ot the cam paign has been directed for the republicans from state headquarters. The republican committeemen feel well satisfied with what has been accomplished. They confidently claim the election of every member ot congress. Secretary Shaw la to closs the campaign In Dea Moines, addressing a meeting at the opera house on Monday evening. There will be several other speak era with him. Outside of member ot oon- gress there is no Interest In the campaign In Iowa, and It Is expected the total vote in the state will tall oft very much from last year. Prairie City Bank Case. All the suspects arrested in connection with the robbery ot the State bank at Prai rie City have been released and there la now little likelihood ot the robbers being caught. The detectives employed by an in surance company of thla city, are still at work on tha caae at Prairie City and else where. One man was arrested at Pella and another In a cornfield near Pratrte City, but neither one was connected with the robbery. Three men were arrested on a train coming through Prairie Ctty, hut all gave good accounts of themselves. There Is no doubt in the minds of the de tectives that the robbers went to Fair mount and there took a train on the Rock Island. The bank has reopened and is do ing business and a new safe and vault have been ordered. New Companies Chartered. Among the articles of tncorporjatlon filed for record and accepted by the secretary of state thla morning, waa that ot the Southern Mutual Investment company of Lexington, Ky. This company sought to become incorporated last July, Immediately after the now law relating to the "home co-operative" went into effect In Iowa, but aa the paper looked auspicious they ware not accepted at that time. The com pany waa required to make a ahowlng of the plan of doing business, such aa that oontemplated In the new law for all com panies In which there appears to be an element of chance. The company presented to the secretary ot atate today Its plan and satisfied the aecretary that it waa a legitimate Investment company and not open to the suspicion of being one of tha companies at which the new law la atmed. The capital stock la 115.000. Attorney General Muller la preparing the papers In the suits brought to compel the secretary of atate to accept the Incorpora tion articles ot the American Home Invest ment company of thla ctty, which will test the validity of the new Oris wold law, officers of that company having brought auit agatnat the aecretary of state to com pel him to accept the paper and Issue a charter. It will come up In the district court at the January term. Other compantea Incorporated today were; Shuerman Bros., Incorporated, of Des Moines, capital, $100,000; Dubuque Land at Live Stock company, capital, 150.000, by W. A. Blake and others; McArtbur Lumber company of Manchester, capital, $10,000, by Albert Holllster and others; Harrla-Jewell Telephone company, changed named to the Coon Raplda Telephone and Electrical company. Coal Laud to Be Developed. A company haa been formed at Clarlnda of prominent banker and bualnesa men to develop the coal landa lying adjoining tha state land at the Inaane hospital. In addi tion to finding a good coal the prospector discovered large beds ot clay vend shale, samples of which have been aubmttted to brick makers la different parts of the coun try, with ths result that It Is pronounced the very best material tor making fancy brick. The company will develop thla In dustry. If successful. It la probable that (be state landa will be regarded more val- i st J -' vlluauw.'. uable than they were supposed to be. Judge Klnne of the state board has just returned from Clarlnda, where he made the quar terly visit at the Insane hospital. There are now 890 patients at the hospital. Su perintendent Wltte, who bad a long siege ot Illness, Is now slowly recovering and Is able to be at bis work. pedal Term of Court. The supreme court will meet again In Des Moines, December 16, for the purpose of finishing up the business of the year and filing decisions which have been pre pared and are ready at that time. It Is customary to hold a December term each year, but not to listen to arguments at that time or receive the submission of new cases. The greatest Interest attaches to what the court will do with the cases of Brooks and Phillips, who have appealed to the court for a new trial. Their day for, being banged is December 18. The eourt might announce a decision before the time ot convening, bul is not likely: to do so. This means that Brooks and Phillips will not know until two days before the day set, for execution whether they are to be hanged or get a new trial. The situ ation Is likely to become Intensely Inter esting for them and for the warden of the penitentiary about that time. SHOPLIFTERS ARE CAPTURED Succeed In Getting; Goods Out of store, bnt Fall to Get Out of Town. ATLANTIC, la., Oct. Jl. (Special.) One ot the boldest attempts at shoplifting has been successfully carried out In Atlantic. There are three men In the deal and from all that can be learned they have been making a regular run along the Rock Island road. Just as the clerk opened the dry goods store ot Gillette ft Son two men stepped In. One ot them ssked to see some goods that were kept In the back part of the tore. The clerk went back with him. The other man remained In the front part. They were In the store only a short time, but after they bad gone It occurred to Mr. Gil lette, who had arrived In the meantime, that they were there for some other pur pose than to buy goods. The silk shelves were checked up and it was found that over $100 worth ot silks had disappeared, it happened that no trains leave Atlantic at this time and there wss time to get men stationed before any came, so that avenue of escape was cut oft. Search was mado and the goods were discovered in a restau rant. Just before noon one of the men was dlsoovered and recognized as the man who left the goods. A little later another one was caught and about S o'clock the last man was found. They are now In the county jail. It Is believed that these men, with possi bly others, are In an organization for the purpose of doing the kind of work at tempted at this place. There have been several other Instances where goods have mysteriously disappeared here, aa well as la other towns. It may be that the capture of these men will lead to the capture of others, or at least will help explain where ths goods of some of the merchants In other town have gone to. MISSING BANKER CAPTURED H. E. C'hriatenaen, President of De funct Concern nt shurpsburar, la., Must Explain Matters. BEDFORD. Ia., Oct. 81. (Special Tele gram.) H. E.

THE CHILDREN ENJOY Life out of door and out of the (fames which they play and the enjoy ment which they receive and the effort which they make, cornea the greater part of that healthful development which is so essential to their happiness when grown. When a laxative is needed the remedy which is g-iven to them to cleanse and sweeten and strengthen the internal organs on which it acts, should be such as physicians would sanction, because its component parts are known to be wholesome and the remedy itself free from every objectionable quality. The one remedy which physicians and parents, well-informed, approve and recommend and which the little ones enjoy, because of its pleasant flavor, its gentle action and its beneficial effects, is Syrup of Figs and for the same reason it is the only laxative which should be used by fathers and mothers. Syrup of Figs is the only remedy which acts gently, pleasantly and naturally without griping, irritating, or nauseating and which cleanses the system effectually, without producing that constipated habit which results from the use of the old-time cathartics and modern imitations, and against which the children should be so carefully guarded. If you would have them grow to manhood and womanhood, strong, healthy and happy, do not give them medicines, when medicines are not needed, and when nature needs assistance in the way of a laxative, give them only the simple, pleasant and gentle Syrup of Figs. Its quality is due not only to the excellence of the combination of the laxative principles of plants with pleasant aromatic syrups and juices, but also to our original method of manufacture and as you value the health of the little ones, do not accept any of the substitutes which unscrupulous deal ers sometimes offer to increase their profits. The genuine article may be bought anywhere of all reliable druggists at fifty cents per bottle.
