was In charge of the old paper mill south'
eaat of the city, which was through his con
aervatlve management beginning to be sue
cesaful financially when It was burned
down. Rev, Coker was a great worker on
the. behn.lf of temperance and It was
thought at the time that the fire was In
cendiary and started by persons who pro
tested sgalnst Rev. Coker's active partici
pation In the prohibition campaign. He
was an active worker In church circles and

Ian association until the association went
to the wall for lack of financial support.

has found his work here very satisfactory, '
and as his relations with his congregation I
are of the best, he will not leave here un

Cyclone's Work Expensive.
The large appropriation at Olenwood Is
due largely to the destruction of property
by a cyclone. There Is an Item of $65,000 In
the appropriation for Cherokee hospital for
a cottage for 100 men. and $,000 at Clarinda
for the same purposes. Additional land la
desired at Marshalltown, Olenwood, El-
dora. Independence, Cherokee, Fort Madl
con and Anamosa. (
At the end of the biennial period, June
30 last there were 7,435 Inmates at the Insti
tutions against 6,958 at the beginning of the
period. There was expended by the board
during the two years $3,437,761.46; of this
amount $1,099,321.92 was for new buildings,
repairs, equipment, land, etc., and $2,338.-
439.B4 was for support. The Increase over
the previous biennial period was $932,041.71
This Increase was In part due to the en
hanced price of materials. Increased num
ber of employes at Institutions, increase In
nonulatlon of Institutions, the completion
of the Cherokee hospital at an expense of
nearly $600,000 and the expenditure of
nearly $160,000 for land and the increase in
wares over the previous biennial period.
The board employed In Its office, exclusive
of the secretary and architects at the be
ginning of the period, eight persons with
an aggregate pay roll of $465 a month, and
at the end of the period nine with JMW.33.
The value of the state property in the care
of the board Is $7,850,411.89.
Separate Place for Inebriates.
The board makes many recommendations
for legislation. Including the establishment
of a separate institution for the male in
ebrlates who' are now sent to state Insane
hospitals. At-one time there were 231 In
ebriates In the hospitals, but the numner
fell to 104 later. ' Of the 476 original com-
mlfments 241 eloped and 200 were paroled.
and thirty-seven of those who eloped were
returned and eighteen of them paroled.
The board does not express an opinion
to the good done by this new law, but
recommends that If It Is continued an In
stitutlon should be established for the ex
c!uslve treatment of male Inebriates and
dipsomaniacs; that no person be committed
unless the magistrate believes he can prob
ably be cured; that patients be required
to perform labor and that punishment be
provided for refusal; that it be made a
crime for a patient to leave the hospital
without permission: that It be made a penal
offense for anyone to furnish a paroled In
ebrlato with liquor or narcotic drugs; that
provision be made for the return of paroled
Inebriates who have violated their paroles
and that the maximum term of confinement
before a parole can be'- granted be six
months.
For New Mte Near t'oaacll Bluffs
The board recommends the removal t
the school for the deaf to more favorable
ground near Council Bluffs before the new
buildings are erected. It recommends the
use of the Idle state buildings at Knox
vllle or the sale of the property.
In accordance with previous reports the
establishment of an epileptic colony is
recommended. Attention is called to the
fact that the reformatory for women has
not been opened because there Is no place
for It at the Anamosa penitentiary and It
should not be within the prison walla. It
Is recommended that the entire penitentiary
at Anamosa be converted Into an industrial
reformatory for men. The bourd would
also have a law passed for indeterminate
sentence of convicts. It Is recommended
that the smuggling of opium or liquors or
tools und weapons into the penitentiaries
be made a criminal offense. The board
would have nonresident blind and deaf pu
pits attending Iowa institutions pay the
same per capita as provided for residents
of tho state. It Is suggested that the bene
fits of, the compulsory education law be
extended to the deaf and blind.
Should Center Scientific Effort
The action of the superintendents of the
hospltJls in recommending centralization
of the sclentltlc work Is approved. They
recommended that the sclentltlc Invea
gating be done In connection with i:
medical department of the state university,

The report filed with Governor Cummins
today will make a book of about 5"0 pages,
and It will be printed and go to the legis
lature at the opening of the session. The
recommendations are in all cases aecom-
antcd by full explanations and sufficient
reasons.
Strange Coincidence.
A remarkable coincidence has turned up
In connection with a robbery case at
Atlantic last year and the conviction of
three persons connected with the same.
A quantity of silks were taken from the
Oillett store. The nethod of working was
said to be by and through a gang of three
persons, and while one would engage the
proprleter In the rear of his store the
others would do the stealing. Three men,
giving the names of Burns, Richards and
Saunders, were arrested near Stuart having
some of the silks In their possession. Burns
was convicted of larceny,, but the others
were convicted only of conspiracy. Rich
ards and Saunders received sentences of
three years each In the penitentiary. A
few months ago the mother of John W.
Saunders came from New Orleans and se
cured the release of her son. His name
was not Saunders, but he had assumed It
to shield his relatives. He had disappeared
about six years ago from his home and
the parents, who are prominent residents
of New Orleans, had spent almost a
fortune hunting the boy and he was found
In the penitentiary through a detective
agency. She was able to secure his re
lease by enlisting the efforts of Ex-Gov
ernor Packard, whom she had known In
New Orleans. Today two men living In
Arkansas are In Des Moines to Intercede
for the parole of Richards. They state
that he left home about six years ago
mysteriously and the family had never
beea able to get a trace of him until a
few weeks ago, when his brother received
a letter from the young man saying he
was In the penitentiary at Fort Madison
and was so III that he- feared he would
die. The two brothers came to Iowa and
found this to be true. They have now set
out to secure the release of the young man
and If they can get him out' they will take
him back to Arkansas. So far as they
know their brother had never met the
young man from New Orleans before com
ing to Iowa, but the story of both the
men is strangely similar. Young Richards
is 111 in the penitentiary and may not live
long.

"THE QUEEN'S QUAIR"
By MAURICE HEWLETT
Copyright by Maurico Hewlett, In the United State of America. 190
f The " Forest Lovers," which
made its author, Maurice Hew
lett, famous, sold to the extent
of aoo.ooo copies, and its dra
matization has pleased half a
million people. Yet literary
critics are unanimous in declaring
" The Queen's Quair " a more
masterly work.

"T
HE Queen's Ouair" (quair meaning a
auire. a little book) deals with the
MAURICE HEWLETT
life of Mary Queen of Scots, and the
story (of . which this is the Tfifth. instalment)
opens during the second month after the death
of King Francis of France, when Quen Mary, a widow of nineteen, is
still with Catherine de Medici. Influenced by the Cardinal of Lor
raine, she goes to her grandmother's Court at Rheims. There she
meets the Earl of Bothwell, who gives her his page, Des-Essars.
Spurred on by her brother, Lord James Stuart, she leaves France for
Scotland.
At Edinburgh, after a disheartening reception by the Scots, the
Lord of Huntly presents himself with his sons, George, John and
Adam, for the first of whom he desires to arrange a marriage with
Queen Mary. There also John Knox comes into her life, preaches
against her, dubs her " The Honeypot," and finally becomes a valued
adviser. Her brothers, Lords James and Robert Stuart, present them
selves, and she appoints as secretary Mr. Maitland, former secretary to
her mother, the late Queen.
Bothwell pays court and piques her by his manner. Lord George
Gordon is refused, but swears loyalty. The Duke of Chatelherault
also wishes to bring about a marriage between the Queen and his son,
Lord Arrap, a witless fellow, with whom Bothwell quarrels. At the in
tervention "of the Queen, Knox reconciles the two, and Bothwell plans
a scheme by which they may force Queen Mary into a marriage with
Arran. This plot is revealed to her, and Bothwell is imprisoned.
The Gordons, after an engagement with the Hamiltons, in which
Lord James interposes, flee, and upon the announcement of George
