Men Teachers Active. ,
More men are going Into the teaching

enrollment of 200 there are forty men,
This is not true of every county of the
state, however, for In Bremer oounty It Is
reported that there was not one man en
rolled until a canvasser put his name on
the books so as to make a showing. Su
perintendent Barrett spoke before instl
tutes at Corydon. Centervllle and Fair

county teachers In Des Moines. Next week
he will go to Spencer, on Tuesday, and
speak at a nonmal Institute, then to Storm

larger attendance at the normal Institutes
this year than for several years, and thosa
held In August have been thus far favored
by good weather.

much as the assessment haa been made
and completed there Is nothing in tha way
of tha county auditors placing the same on
their books for taxation without any certi
fication from the atate auditor. Even if
they should fall to spread upon their books
the assessment made. It would still be the
duty of the county treasurers to sea that
the taxes are collected. It Is therefore
believed that no matter what the courts
do the taxes will be collected on this line
of telegraph.

NEW TORK. Aug. 8. The stock market,
which opened heavy and unsettled, broke
violently in the last hour of today's brief
session, one of the disturbing factors being
the unfavorable bank statement. Forecasts
had prepared all hands for a loss of cash,
but the Increase of almost 84,000,000 In loans
excited general alarm and prices tumbled
throughout the list.
Union Pacific was subjected to a special
drive, resulting In an extreme loss of al
most 6 points on large transactions. Brook
iyn Rapid Transit suffered In similar fash
ion, breaking S points, and a number of
stop-loss orders In both stocks cams out.
In fact, the course of both stocks suggested
f creed selling.
Rumor credited a famous operator, whose
finances have been somewhat Impaired,
with being the chief engineer on the at
tack On the Union Pacific. This operator.
It was said, had a grievance against the
Union Pacific party.
Net declines greater than those pre
viously mentioned were recorded. Here are
a few: American Snuff t points, North
western preferred T, Consolidated Gas tti,
Delaware Hudson 4 and Great Northern
preferred (. Net tosses of 8 to tt points
were registered In Smelting preferred,
American Express, United States Express,
St. Paul, Omaha. Erie common and' first
and second preferred, Oeneral Eleotrlo,
Hocking Valley, Louisville Neahvtlle,
Boo line, Reading, Close Sheffield Steel,
Tennessee Coal and Iron and Texas V Pa
cific land trust.
Ths day's business of 446,000 shares, while
not large, waa In marked contrast to that
of last Saturday, when less than one-third
of that amount of stocks changed hands.
Traders were puxsled at the strength of
Canadian Pacific, one of the few stocks
that gained slightly on the day. The stock
which had been raided the day before
loaned as high as per cent premium
that la, buyers were forced to pay as much
as 837.(0 per 100 shares for the use of the
stock over Sunday. It wss learned after
the close of the market that brokers rep
resenting so-called inside Interests were
calling the stock for delivery on Monday,
and in soms quarters there was tslk of a
comer In Canadian Pacific- ', .
J. 8. Bachs A Co., acting for Montreal
and Berlin interests, which had been lend
ing the stock freely, were among thoss
who sent out calls for Monday delivery.
Bache A Co. denied, however, that they
knew of any concerted move to corner the
short Interest, which is variously estimated
at from (0,000 to 100,000 share.
