SCHOOL COMMENCES TODAY
Buildings thoroughly Overhauled During
the Summer Vacation.
DIVIDE THE TIME AT SECOND AVENUE
Atteadaaee at Hlaa School at Openlaa
Eanerted to B Aboat the Same
as Last Tear, bat Will
laerease Later.
The public schools of the city will open
tills morning; for the new school year snd
everything; Is in readiness to receive the
pupils. During; the long; summer vacation
extensive repairs have been carried out In
the several school buildings, many of them
havlnc been entirely renovated snd re
painted from top to bottom. The first thing
- on the schools assembling this morning the
teachers will be assigned to grades. Here
tofore this has been done at the time of
alignment of teachers to the different
buildings, but this year Superintendent
Clifford decided to postpone It u,ntll the
number of pupils In the various classes was
ascertained.
Owing to the Incomplete condition of the
Avenue B school building the pupils of that
school and the Second Avenue building will
for the present divide the day at the Sec
ond Avenue building. ' In the morning the
teachers and pupils of the Second Avenue,
school .will occupy the building from 8:30
o'clock until noon, and the teachers and
pupils of the Avenue B school from 12: JO
to i p. m. Under this arrangement, which
was deemed better than dividing th chil
dren of the Avenue B among the other
buildings, the pupils of the two schools
, will lose but little time. The Avenue B
building Is expected to be ready for oc-
' cupancy by October 10 or IB.
The enrollment at the high school It Is
expected will be about the same aa last
year, which was 455 on the opening day.
The class entering today Is somewhat
smaller than last year, but as the clats
which will enter In February will be much
larger the enrollment for the year Is ex
pected to show a material Increase over
last year, which was 5X3.
There will he no radical changes In the
courses of study, but Superintendent Clif
ford Is planning that special emphasis will
be laid upon instruction In reading and
every effort will be made to cultivate a
taste among the pupils for the best litera
ture. Th plan which last year proved so
successful, of providing lists of library
books adapted to readers of the different
grades will be continued, and aa far as
possible improved upon. This plan last
year .resulted In the number of children
holding cards at the public library being
Increased from 400 to almost 2.000. It Is
hoped to double this number this year.
Prof.' Fred D. Grass, a new -member of

filanteatllae; the Carnival.
The work of dismantling the grounds of
the street fnlr and carnival was com
menced after midnight Saturday. At J
o'clock Sunday morning the Qasklll com
pany had parked and loaded It extensive
paraphernalia and started In a special train
for Waterloo, la., where It will begin a
return engngement of a week. With few
exceptions the exhibits were all removed
fro.-n the booths before daylight.
Tiie work of takfcig down the canvas
fence and removing the booth and other
frame structures will be begun early this
morning and by tonight but little will re
main to mark the street fair.
Although no official figures are yet avail
able. It Is estimated the attendance for
the week was close to tiS.OtiO, which is about
11.000 over that of last year.
Much satisfaction Is felt that despite the
large crowds at night there was little or
no rowdyism and the hoodlum element was
mainly conspicuous by Its absence through
out the entire week. Pickpockets evidently
gave the carnival a wide berth, as only
one case of any person losing anything
was reported. One man reported that he
had lost a small sum of money which had
been tied up In a handkerchief, but It Is
not certain that he was robbed. The force
of special police under Constable Albertl
kept the grounds well officered and several
suspicious perrons were escorted out of
the lair as soon as they were spotted.

Tax Law le Lasse.
(From a Staff Correspondent.)
DE9 MOINES. Sept. 11 (Special. )-It
would take 130.000 to furnish the record
books, blanks and other material necei-
sary to 'carry out the new Iowa law re
lating to vital statistics, according to the
statement of Secretary Kennedy, of the,
State Board of Health, In, whose hands the
administration of the law was placed by
the last genersl assembly. The law be
came operative July 4 last. The secretsry
of stste and executive council provided
b'.anks to be sent out to the local doctors
and health officers and to county and city
clerks, and the State Board of Health at
tends to the details. The law requires all
the township 'clerks snd clerks of health
boards to act as registrars for certification
of births snd deaths and to send reports to
the secretary of the Board of Health. They
are also required to keep records. The law
made no provision, however, for furnishing
record books and the local registrars who
are Just beginning to study the law are
clamoring for record books that they may
keep the records as contemplated. The
secretary called In makers of blanks and
secured an estimate that it would take
820.WIO to prepare the books and plsce them
in the hands of registrars.
Some of the physicians of the state have
flatly refused to make out the certificates
and declare that the law Is unconstitutional
In that It provides that they shall perform
a service for the state without compensa
tion. They claim there should be a fee at
tached to the reports they make. They
have all been furnished with the blanks.
Inheritance Law le Croaked.
It Is found that the Iowa Inheritance tax
law, which has now been on the statute
books about ten years and under which a
vast amount has been collected for the
state from ostates not directly Inherited,
Is weak In that It undertakes to discrim
inate against the foreign holder of prop
erty In Iowa. It requires a higher pay
ment from the alien than from the resident
of the state. The German consul in Chi
cago has called the attention of the Iowa
authorities to the fact that under treaties
with Germany this cannot be done.
Interarbaa Reate Located.
The route for the Interurban line west
from Des Moines has been located as defi
nitely as it can be until the right-of-way
Is actually secured. It runs direct to Ade:,
going four miles south of Grimes and
mile north of Waukee. tl Is the plan to
build some new towns and stations on the
line. The route beyond Adel has not been
chosen.

largely In the work of gathering and when
Mr. Havlland expressed his Intentions of
securing a larger force of men the boys
forthwith went on a strike. The cause was I
due to the scale In force, which is known
as the average scale. A compromise was
effected at once and the scale changed by

"I have been married S years and always
had good health until the Spring after my
second child was born in 1901 my health
began giving away. I was a coffee drinker
and commenced having many pains about
my heart after eating, was very nervous
and kept getting worse until June.
"My physician could not help me and I
took everything I could think of but kept
getting worse; so In August I saw another
doctor who aald I had nervous dyspepsia
but who did pot help me any and by that
time I was so nervous It seemed I would
go crasy. I did not have energy for any
thing and could hardly eat anything and be
came so wesk that I could hardly walk,
had to stop nursing my baby and In Sep
tember I changed my physician again. The
next one said I had female trouble, that I
would have to be operated on, but I would
not have that so kept changing phyal
clans and some would say one thing and
some another and still I got worse until
December when I commenced with nervous
convulsions and was taken down In bed.
"My husband got the very best doctors
that could be found In our reach. I uaed
stomach pump for 1! months and was In
bed for, three months straight and I would
get so nervous thst I could not speak, but
I never suspected Ihe coffee. I would go for
days and not touch solid food. .- By Maroh,
1902, I as so nervous I could not eat sny
thing I wsnted. hsd fainting spells, my
eyes were so wesk I could not do any sew
ing and I took bottle after bottle of medi
cine until last Christmas having heard SO
much about Postum I decided to try It.
"I commenced using Postum made It
strong and drank It three times a day and
It haa made the most wonderful change
you ever heard of. It was not long after
until I stopped using my stomach pump,
was not constipated any more and I havs
not bought a pill or any medicine rlnee. It

(From a Staff Correspondent.)
WNCOLN. Sept. 11. 8pectal.)-When the
smoke of battle has cleared away after the
Ith day of November, according to popu
llstlc prophecies, and the roll Is called In
Nebraska, not a sufficient number of dem
ocrats will answer "Here" to constitute a
political party of any consideration. That
the populists actually believe this Is evi
denced by the derision with which they re
ceived the threat of the Parker democrats
to scratch Berge unless the populists stop
fighting Parker Instead of a letup In the
fighting the threat only served to goad on
the pops in their work. They are no longer
content to follow In the wake of the dem
ocrats, picking up a crumb here and there,
but now that their backbones have been
stiffened they Intend to everlastingly slam
the head of the democratic national ticket
and the platform upon which he stands un
til the votes are In.
More literature Is being sent out every
dsy by both tfie national and the state pop
ulist committees, and not in the least Is It
tempered to the shorn Iamb. It has made
the disorganised, disheartened democrats
sick. The literature Is like a branding Iron
on their sides, and no wonder. In the
Watson speech, of which thousands and
thousands of copies have been circulated,
there are paragraphs about his old-time
Hies which read like this: . .
You may ask why do I consume more
time discussing the democrats than In
speaking of the republicans. My. rep.y Is:
It s an easier ana quicser joo 10 sinae an
niwn enemv rlarht between tne eves xnan
It la to tear off the mask from the face of
a pretended friend and show him to De tne
hypocrite tnat ne is.
Another paragraph reads:
But why any human being should In the
year 1904 vote the . national democratic
ticket Is something that parses my un
tutored comprehension. It seems to me to
ha the most am as In DlsVe of effrontery
for the democratic party to go before the
American people and proclaim that for
eight years they hsve been wrong and the
republicans have been right, and at the
same time demand that the crowd which
has been wrong shall be put In the place of
thnaa who have been rlaht. It would In
deed be a miracle If any such a thing would
happen, and so far aa i am ooncernea i ao
not believe It will happen.'
Wky It Harts.
This is the kind of literature the populist
committee Is sending out. It Is making the
democrats sick, for the reason the litera
ture Is doing the business. The populist
committee haa sent nearly J.OOO.OOO copies
of Watson's Lincoln speech all over the
United States, and the demand is far In
excess of the number sent out. ' The com
mittee hasn't the money with which to
supply the demand. In many Instances,
however, country newspapers that have
used the speech as a supplement have paid
for It, while individual citizens have sent
In money to pay for from 60 to 800 copies.
It la this interest manifested by the
rank and file of the populist party and the
Bryan democrats that la agitating the dem
ocrats and that called forth that ultimatum.
To make the position of the poor demo
crats of the Parker brand more trying
is the claim of the populist leaders that
Watson will art 100.000 votes In Nebraska.
They are saying also that Roosevelt wll!
get 116,000 and Parker 26,000. The populists
admit, however that ' they cannot figure
where Parker Is to get his 25,000 and rome
of them believe that Roosevelt will even
divide the 26,000 with him.
And from many states the reports are
to the effect that Watson Is making serious
Inroads on the democratic nominee. From
Georgia the reports come to the effect that
while the populists do not expect to over
come the big democratic majority, they ex
pect to give Parker a run for his money
and it may be that he will lose the state.
All these reports encourage the populists
to bid defiance to the democrats. But even
without these reports from other states.
the populists of Nebraska have the demo
crats at their mercy. The threat of the
Parker democrats to scratch Berge wl l cut
no Ice. The populists expect the Parker
democrats to do that anyhow. But the
democratic state committee has to knuckle
to the populists. If fliey don't, then Mr.
Bryan doesn't get any help to get to the
senate. In Nebraska this year It Is the
populists against the republicans. The
democrats will not be considered by either
party. -
