(From a Staff Correspondent.) DES MOINES, April 25. (Special.) State Auditor Carroll today figured up for the first time from the Just-completed returns from county auditors the exact amount of state revenue raised on the tax levy of last year in the several counties 'of the state. The council set out to raise $2,00,000 State Executive council should make the levy of the taxes for general revenue pur poses on an estimate of the needs of tbe state. bTe council set out to raise $2,000,00 for tbe general fund on a 8.5 mill levy. The reports from the auditors show that thto amount was very nearly exactly reached: Tbe following were the sums raised In the state: General revenue fund, 8.5 mills. ...$2,007,II2. oiare university special, 0.2 mills. 114,702 72 Iowa State college sp'l, 0.2 mills. 114.702.72 State Normal school sp'l, o.l mill. 67.3M.a4 Total 2,2M.U884 The special college levies were fixed by the state legislator, and the sums raised are slightly In excess of what was antici pated by the legislature.

The State Board of Railroad 'commission ers has set May S as a date for a special hearing on revision of the freight rates and changes in the classification, and notices have been sent out to the shippers of the state to that effect. The proposed changes affect a lumber of commodities in each case, the board being asked to lower the classification so aa to cheapen the rates. The following commodities will be affected: Stone, crushed, for road making purposes; steel couches, folded; cereal products, not otherwise specified; castor oil In barrels, for lubricating purposes; oil barrels, empty, returrd; feed. Including gluten meal; dia mond vise, boxed; glucose refuse, sticky fly paper and oil in barrels. Classifications are proposed for the first time on wire fence stretchers, on manllla wrapping pa per and on "Ocean Waves," the latter an amusement apparatus resembling a merry-go-round. It is fxpected a number of ship pers and railroad men will be here and other similar matters will be taken up at the same time. Only a few cnanges In the Iowa classification have been made since the general revision of a year ago. Adjustment has been made of the com plaint of persons living along the line of the Cedar Rapids branch of tbe Rock Island system that tbe company was charging for passengers more than 8 cents a mile on some local business. The com pany was permitted to do this under the old classification when the Cedar Rapids branch was the Burlington, Cedar Rapids A Northern railroad.

He is in Chicago where he Is engaged as a bill poster. No reason Is assigned for his disappearance save that he was short In his finances. Will Hot Move School. An effort is being made in the Interest of Knoxvllle for the removal of the deaf school for Iowa from Council Bluffs to Knoxvllle. There is a large building at Knoxvllle belonging to the state which was built as a part of the proposed indus trial school for the blind, but Is not used now. Tbe Knoxvllle people wanted a state normal school there and Indignantly re jected a proposal to have tbe state reform atory for men placed there. Now having given up the idea of a normal school they desire to have the deaf school moved there. The members of tbe State Board of Con trol declare that they have had nothing to do with the agitation for removal and they are In favor of appropriations to rebuild the main building at the deaf school and make many additions thereto. It is Im probable that there will be any change in the location of the deaf school. FOLK TRIES HARD FOR KRATZ Asks Coart to Confiscate Mlssonrl Property Held by Alleged Fleeing Beodler. ST.
