meeting. Secretary Wndet f the crnietme

the burned building would be duplicated.
This will depend upon the report of eiperta
who will ba called .upon to examine th
condition of the foundations and portions
remaining of the wal!s of the burned struc
ture. It Is believed that there will be a anl
vage of about $5,000 on the burned building.
Although the eaact amount of Insurance
carried by -the Fuller A Johtkon-Shugart
company on Its stock cannot be determined
until the return of Lucius Wells, the man
ager, and the books are recovered from the
vaolt. It Is known that through local agen
cies the company carried IH.O0O. The Peru
Plow and Implement company, which had
stock of buggies stored in the building, car
ried 110,000, while the American Radiator
company of Chicago carried $3,000 on Its

In the absence of Manuger Wells, the
loss of the Fuller & Johnson-Shugart com
pany cannot be definitely) ascertained. It
Is not thought that any Insurance was
placed outside the local agencies. A month
or so ago an Inventory of the stock on
hand showed that it was well protected
by the' (46,000 of insurance. Since then
heavy shipments have been received 'in
preparation for the shipping seasons which
commences next month. It Is known that
Mr. Wells only lust week spoke to sev
eral Insurance agents about his company
taking out more Insurance towards the
first of the new year. This being the case,
It Is possible that the company's loss may
not be covered by sufficient Insurance.
The Fuller & Johnson-Shugart company
yesterday morning opened temporary offices
in the Warder-Bushnall-aiesener building
at the corner of Main street and Seventh

(From a Staff Correspondent.)
DE8 MOINES, la, Dec. . (Special.)
Today's session Of the Iowa Teachers' as
sociation wak given over entirely to remi
niscences of fifty years of the life of the
association and a half century of progress
In school work In the state: but tha oldest
educator could not conjure up a Story
at a convention of teachers under less
favorable conditions than at the present
time. Not before ha tbe attendance been
so small In many year a, yet It wa ex
pected there w6uld be a larger attendance
than usual.. The storm came Just at a time
when It prevented the teachers from far
away portions of the state from coming
here. The. persons who came to attend
the association meetings are making the
most of It and will carry out the pmgtam
with reasonable regularity. ' This forenoon
waa given' over to discussing something of
the progress made tn fifty years, a dis
cussion In papers presented by Dr. 8. N.
Fellows, lew City; Superintendent George
8. rJlck, Red Oak; Prof. Ira C. Kllng, De
Moines; Miss Li bole Dean, Mount Pleasant
and Miss Emma Fordyce, Cedar Rapids.
In . the afternoon the veteran educator,
Henry Sabln, - who served many years as
superintendent of 'publlo Instruction, bad
charge of a special program. Jhe sectional
and round table meetings were commenced
today.
Old Ever New Prebleans.
One of the firat topic' suggested today
brought out the fact that school problems,
as such, are Just aa many and as important
and as far from. settlement today as they
were fifty' years ago. The state superin
tendent has . placed In the hands of the
teachers the annual edition of the Educa
tional Directory for Iowa, and advance
sheets of his biennial report. , It waa noted
that the statistics show that a great, many
of the school principals and superintendents
remain in the work a long time and that
(h tendency to change la not great here.
More than 120 of these are reported in the
atate aa having held their present posi
tions ten yeara or more, and fifteen are
reported aa having been more than twenty
years in one place. One has' a record of
thirty-two years, two of thirty-five yeara
and on of thirty-seven years at tha same
place. In the matter of wages th state la
making a better showing than formerly,
and yet not aa good as ' the "nation, as a
whole. The average monthly compensation
for male teachers In Iowa was reported as
$37.01 In 1897 and It is now reported $48.24;
the average compensation of female teach
ers was, seven years ago, $31.46 and is now
$36.61. . The average compensation of mala
teachers In the United States la reported
a $47.66 and , for female teacher $39.10.
Iowa, therefore. Is above th average Id
paying male teachers, but below the aver
age In compensation for th larger arriiy
of female teachers. . The total paid for
teacners salaries in Iowa last year waa
$,64L764.
Plan for LeaUIat?oa.
In th Informal dlscuaaions In . the lob
bies f .th hotels there is raujon talk heard
of futurV leglalatlon. It Is probable that
Lha legislative committee' of tbe teachers'
association will be completely reoga nixed
at this t;me, and that, while the legislature
does not meet until a year, from next
month, work will be commenced at once
.n the direction of securing legislation. The
legislators who -wlIP be in. authority at
the next session are the same ones who
were her last winter and no legislative
committee will therefore have an ad
vantage in knowing the record and ten
dencies of . every member. There will be
the strongest kind of pressure brought for
a revision of the laws relating to the
school year, and It is expected the begin
ning of the year will be ohanged. There
will be legislation affecting the method of
determining the educational qualification of
teachers and almpllfylng the granting of
certinoates. Th attention of the legislators
will be called to the groat need for some
thing to better the rural schools of th
state and to bring them up to a higher
standard; to reduce the number of schools
and Increase the average attendance, and
to provide lor longer tenure for the teach
era In tbe rural schools.
;':J ' V School Consolidation.'
It Is known that State Superintendent
Rlggs, . who is now, completing his first
year in office, Is In favor of the tendency
to decrease the number of country' schools,
Superintendent; Barrett, his predecessor.
made almoat a fad of achool - township
centralisation. Superintendent Rlggs will
work for school , district . consolidation
wherever practicable and in the direction
of lessening the number of rural schools.
It is all tha same thing In essence and the
teachers of the state will back up the
movement to the finish. . . ,
Specimens for fchoola.
Prof. T. E. Savage of the State Geologic
aurvey is arranging to aend out to high
schools of the Stat boxes of geologlo
specimens found in Iowa and sample of

the aurvey men. . Thla la In accordance
with a resolution of tha Geologic board
passed last winter. The sohools are re
quired to aend $1 each to pay for pack

"BLACK GEORGE" IS CAUGHT
Man Charged with Many Crimes Is
Canght Off His Gnard
la Dahotai
ABERDEEN, 8. D., Dec. J8 (SpeclaJ.)-
The sensational capture of George Turner
alia George Koch, 'or "Black George," as
he la known In the northwest territory,' at
Herla a few days sgo, was one of the moat
daring arrests made In the history of the
state. About a carload of horeea were
stolen from various Canadian points during
the summer by Turner and his gang, which
were finally traced Into North Dakota by a
Canadian officer. After a long search the
officer came here. He caught sight of his
man driving out of town.-Takiug Sheriff
Cole, they went to Heel a and were In the
hotel waiting. for their man, when he came
In about midnight to take a late train.. For
nearly an hour the two men watched Tur
ner trying to catch him off his guard, but
he waa suspicious. He finally raised his
hands to turn down, his collar and wa In
stantly covered by two revolvers.
He put up a bitter fight, got one revolver
partly out of his overcoat pocket, aimed at
Cole's heart when the Canadian offloer
grabbed It with hla thumb under the ham
mer. The desperado was finally choked
into aubmlssion and disarmed. He had two
big revolvers lrf his overcoat pockets with
300 rounds of ammunition. In tha entryway
of the hotel stood his rifle all loaded ready
for a fight Turner, or "Black George," is
