INCREASE IN TUITION FEE
Board of Education Discusses Proposal to
Eaise on Nonresidents.
NOT PAYING THE AVERAGE PER CAPITA
Actio Is Deferred t tll the
Begslsr Meetlaa; Csll for Better
Sidewalks Kear Arena B
School.
At h meeting of the. Board of Educa
tion last night Chairman Davenport of the
finance committee recommended that the
tuition fees charged non-resident pupils be
Increased to conform to the per capltacoat
of education in the public schools of the
city. The present rates are 120 for the
high school and $12 for the grade schools
per annum. Colonel Davenport recom
mended that f he rate for the high school
be placed at $35 and that for. the grade
schools at $20. s
In support of his recommendation Colonel
Davenport submitted a statement showing
that the actual running expenses of the
schools, including teachers', salaries. Jani
tors, coal, supplies, textbooks, repairs and
Interest, but excluding any amount that
may be expended . In erecting buildings,
amounted to about $140,000 for the year.
Taking the school year Just closed for ex
ample, the total enrollment was 6.507. On
this basis the per capita cost per pdpll
would be $26.60; the average, monthly en
rollment was 4,810, and on this basis the
per capita cost would be $29; the average
dally enrollment waa 4.257, and on this
basis the per capita cost would be $33.
Colonel Davenport gave It aa his opinion
that the average dally enrollment should
be taken as the basis for estimating the
per capita cost, " ' '
President Hess thought that to Increase
the rates would work a hardship In certain
cases and would result In tome children
being unable to continue through the high
school course. After 'considerable desul
tory discussion It was .decided to postpone
action on the committee's recommendation
until the regular meeting In August.
A resolution was adopted calling upon
the city council and West End Improve
ment club to take some steps looking to
the betterment of the condition of the side
walks In the vicinity of the Avenue B
school.
The salary of Miss Bertha Vincent, the
newly elected teacher of German In the
high school, waa fixed at $S0

IOWA CITY. Ia., July 19 (Special Tel
egramsThe democratic state convention
was fully up to the advertised quality as
a harmony convention.
Only a few times during the day were
any notes of discord heard and the Parker
men were so overwhelming in their con
trol that it was quite easy to control. All
efforts to tlr up trouble In the resolu
tions committee were frowned upon and
the ticket aa made up recognises all ele
menta of the party. .
The work of the convention waa done In
hort order after the speechmaking- was
done. The speeches were of the regulation
order, patterned after various expressions
heard at St. Louis. Chairman Stlgcr talked
of imperialism, . tariff nd trusts. He
evoked but little ' applause until near the
close, when he spoke, for harmony, espe
cially in the Second district of Iowa.
Chairman 8ullivan, who followed him,
rejoiced because the militant democracy of
Iowa I again on deck. .
Congreasman Wade received the, honors
of the day and waa called .before the con
vention for a - speech, which set' th au
dience wild. He spoke of the St. Louis
convention is "one of the grandest con
ventions ever held," and contrasted it with
the convention In Iowa two months ago,
when the democrats went cray on Hearst.
The resolutions committee turned down a
proposal tos bring the state committee
troublea Into the convention by rescinding
the action of the last convention, making
Charles A. Walsh, ..riiember of the na
tional' committee, a member of the state
committee.' This wad Jstlfled 6 to 6. ' Near
the close of , tho convention an effort was
made to bring-it IntOjthe convention, but It
was killed off by motien'to adjourn. 1
The resolutions' adopted merely endorsed
the work of the national convention and
pledged hearty support. The convention
also ' sent a congratulatory telegram to
Judge Parker. ''.,.
The ticket was largely In aooordance with
the prepared slate. W. O. Schmidt of
Davenport, one of tKe'.teandldate for ele-tor.-at-large,
haa beetigc-ld democrat and
out of the party ew6jli year, while J; B.
Roman, yt Denlsor-f tb.othejf. candidate,
was a' free slly.cr' tppHoUoftn and ia fresh
In the party.
Henry ' Rlegelmkir"oi- De ' Molnea, for
treasurer,' is a gold democrat who found It
Impossible to follow Bryan. E. F. Medary
of Waukon, for auditor, and Charles A.
Dickson of Sioux -City, for secretary of
state, were both conservative and opposed
the Hearst instructions. . Maurice O'Connor
of Fort Dodge, for attorney general, has '
taken little part In polltlcsgrecently, and 3.
P. Manatry of Fairfield, for railroad com-,
mlssloner,..;and .J. W. Sullivan of Kossuth
county, for Judge of the supreme court, are
wholly unknown in state politic.
Judge Moon of Ottumwa aent a telegram
declining to be a' candidate for. attorney
general. ', , - ;
The only roll call was on auditor ,of state,
when Medary received 461 to $12 for C. E.
Monroe of Mahaska county.
The committee held 'A meeting after the
convention and 8. B. Iorrlsey of Harlan
presided a chairman,, wijh C. W. Miller
secretary and T." J. 'Kelley as treasurer.
Headquarters will be opened In Ties
Molnea at once. c ' -
One of the most, conspicuous features of
tha .convention was the small Importance
of Charles A. Walsh; national committee
man for Iowa.' An effort was made in the
committee on resolutions to humiliate him
and he won with a margin of only . one.
The disposition was general to eliminate
all the free silver men. but the nomination
of J. B. Romans a a candidate for elector-at-large
was a recognition of that element
and It was accomplished only by breaking
the slate prepared by the more radical ele
ment. '"..",'"
,The Sixth district was entirely in the
hands of the opponents of Charles A.
Walsh and he left the caucus before it
was half over. -,
The following were Selected "at .caucuses

not see Why property pwnnrs on Twenty
fourth street should be favored In the
matter of paving.
"We all admit that the pavement 1 in
bad shspo 1 and should be repaired, but
that is no reason why the city at large
should bear the expense, and I tell you
we will not stand for It. - As the street
needs paving, why don't the property own
ers circulate a petition the same as other
have to do, and stand their share of tho
expense? No, they will not signl Well, If
they won't,- let the street go as it Is and
use some other street. The people on these
streets are willing to pay their proportion
of the cost.''
The mayof and council are still trying
to figure out some way to pave Twenty
fourth street without expense to the abut
ting property owners, but with injunctions,
mandamuses and other legal proceedings
staring them in the face they do not know
which way to turn.

The Vital Question
Most Names by Which Diseases Are
Known Are Merely Technical Terms
to Distinguish Slight Differences.
Chronic maladies are due to two
condition: First, to poor blood and
disordered circulation; second, to a
lack of nervous force and unequal dis
tribution of It. In other t word, we
may look to the blood and' nef res for
most of the lingering; U)s that weaken,
plague or wreck - human kind. This
explains why Dr.' Chase's Blood and
Nerve Food cures so many diseases
that bear distinctive names. It puts
the blood and nerves right, and
through them the whole system
comes right. This concentrated Food
Is a blood builder, -wbloh to Improves
the vital fluid that It thoroughly nour
ishes every part of the body. : It is
also a powerful Tltalrsef, that gives
an abundant store ot energy to tho
nerve centers, which is distributed to
every part, according to its needs.
