aist the city council In preparing tba 1SV7
general fund apportionments and to ex
plain the city charter on the subject.
, Apply at once at council chamber. X.,
Y.. L
This want ad did not appear In a local
papf i but It would have dona a lot of
grod had It been Inserted Thursday, for
the councilman lost ten pounds In weight
each Friday morning In an animated dis
cussion on the general fund apportionments
as adopted Informally Thursday afternoon
and published Friday morning. It finally
was agreed to adopt the apportlonmenta
already announced, and a concurrent reso
lution to that effect waa prepared and
passed on to the mayor.
Councilman Zlmman took the lead In the
contention that the council apportioned only
243.OK.a0 for the various general fund
Items, whereas (248.000 was available. The
difference of nearly 16.000 Mr. Zlmman
wanted applied on the fire fund, which had
been cut 16.000 as part of the 100,000 reduc
tion In the total levy - and which caused
SUoh a commotion In the council chamber.
In Justice It might be said that this . Is
the first experience the present council.
except Mr. Zlmman, has had In the matter
of apportioning the funds. .
The council adjourned to meet at I o'clock
p. m. Friday to receive the levy resolu
tlon from the mayor and act on various
bids.
Comptroller Lobeck arrived at his figur
ing for the guidance of the council by de
ducting1 10 per cent from $248,000, which
made $223,200; then he added to the latter
cum 120,000, estimated miscellaneous col
lections, , such as fines, license fees, etc.
for 1907, making a total of 1243,200 to be
apportioned. The council apportioned to
within $173.20 of that sum. Mr. Zlmman
contended 'the full amount of $248,000 should
have been apportioned.
YOUNG WIFE TAKES POISON
Bom testlom Whether It Is a
f Aeeldeat e Sal
elde.
Mrs. Charles Stanley, aged & years. Ur
lng with her husband at 107 South Fortieth
street, died early last evening In severe
convulsions from strychnine poisoning. The
circumstances surrounding the woman's
death pointed . toward suicide, but the
theory of self-destruction is not accepted
because of the almost entire absence of
motive,
The poison Was evidently taken'about 6:30
o'clock and death ensued an hour later.
About ten minutes before death. Dr. Ben
awa arrived, and, being unable to leara
from any of those present what Mrs. Stan
ley had swallowed, ' he managed to rouse
her sufficiently to get the one word "stryeh
june" from her Hps before she entered the
last convulsion. Dr. Robert - Jensen ' had
teen called, but too fate to be of ser
vice. " ,.' .- ('. ' '
i. Mr. and Mrs. Stanley were married only
fareeMttOnths agoand, people Intimate with
them stated their relations were apparently
fdeai... He i employed as driver for Wllkle
at Mitchell, grocers at Fortieth and Farnam
treats, -and lived In the rear. oCtheir store.
Mrs." Stanley had been about as usual dur
ing the dag, seemingly happy and con
sented, i Blue at times suffered neuralgio
pains and took medldner for relief; Her
parents reside at Milwaukee or St. Paul
and have been notified.
S The body was taken In charge by Coroner

The oommlttee on education of the General

.he following communication to the chair
men of education committees of the various
states:
As the chairman of the education com
mittee of the General Federation of
Women's Clubs, I take pleasure In wishing
you all sucoeaa In the new year's work fur
education.
I am glad to call your attention first
to the work In behalf of better ethical In
struction In the schools of our nation, and
to let you know that a conference on that
subject Is to' be held In Chicago In Feb
ruary, with members of other national or
gunlsatlons of women and of the National
koucation association.
Such a conference was planned In con
nectlon with the great annual meeting of
me National luiucationai association at
San Francisco, last July, which was ren
dered Impossible by the earthquake. The
superintendents' department of that organi
sation will meet at Chicago in February,

Whole wheat is of greater food value than any other
cereal. It contains all ot the fourteen elements nec
essary (or the sustenance of the human body. The
most Important of these (the nitrogenous principles
and salts) lie near the turtace of the grain and are
only partly utilised In the manufacture of the present

and Its offlrers are arranging for a two
hours' conference between ten of Its mem
bers and two representatives each from
the General Federation of Women's Clubs,
the Association of Collegiate Alumnae, the
Woman's Christian Temperance union, the
Congress of Mothers, and the Daughters of
the American Revolution. The chief sub
ject for discussion will be the best methods
to be used In both home and school tor
producing high character In the children of
our land. Each organisation Is gathering
pamphlets and courses of study for com
parison and approval at this conference.
Will you. therefore, kindly forward to me,
before February first, outlines of any
methods which have been found to be par
ticularly successful In your state T It la
hoped that this conference will bring about
a permanent and helpful relationship
among these six organisations In their work
for education.
Book on Teachers' Salaries.
As a second matter of Interest, let me
ask you to find a place among your
pamphlets for a volume of Statistics on
Teachers' Salaries, which will soon be sent
to you by the secretary , of the National
Educational asaoclatlon. 'If you can And
time during the next two years to discover
from these statistics which shall have the
highest standards, and just where your
own state stands with regard to them, and
then to disseminate that knowledge among
clubs of your state, you will be helping the
committee of the General Federation to
prepare for some work It hopes to do In
the future. The National Educational as
sociation la glad to give us this opportunity
to Increase our own familiarity with pres
ent conditions, and to spread as widely as
possible the knowledge 11 workers havs
amassed In this volume. We hope that
the publication of other ststlstlcal tables
which will show In compact form how the
various nates compare in regard to other
Important educational matters. Guided by
such statistics, the allied efforts of so many
organisations ought to bring about a
greater degree of uniformity In the educa
tional advantages of the different parts
of our nation.
While you are considering ths salary
question, will you also endeavor to find
what is the required equipment for the
teaching profession in your state? Very
few states have any fixed standard. All
kinds of certificates or diplomas are ac
cepted, and In some places none aie
required. A few states require normal
school diplomas or high school diplomas.
Borne schools require also a college diploma.
All the Information you can gather with
regard to your own state will be gratefully
reoMved by the member of the general com
mittee who corresponds with you.
Ths third Hue of work which the gen
eral oommlttee must undertake this year
Is ths raising of a fund for the scholarship
In an English university which was recom
mended to the executive board at 8t Paul
by the vote of those present at ths confer
ence on education, and waa later approved
by the board.
Keenest lw Ceatrlbatleas.
The general committee asks each state
committee to raise one hundred dollars (tluu)
toward such a fund, and also to present a
candidate for the scholarship who shall be
a graduate of the state uulverslty or ot
some Institution In the state of equal rank.
The conditions which shall decide the be
stowal of the scholarship upon one cf the
candidates presented by the various states
have been left In the hands of a special
committee of three college deans and presi
dents selocted from the advisory committee
of the comjiiltlae on education. They are
Miss Laura D. Gill, dean of barnard ool-lt-ge;
Miss M. Carey Thomas, president
of Bryn Mawr college, and Miss Agnes
Irwin, dean of RaddiCfe oc liege. This ape
clai committee will have these eond.tlons
ready to present to the council tor approval
at the meeting In Jamestown next June.
It la hoped that every state president will
come to that council with the report that
her state will be ready to jvesaut lis luM
at the biennial In Boston. Each state com
mittee on education will be left to select
Its own method both for obtaining ths
hundred dollars and for choosing the candi
date. All candidates should be reported
to the special committee before November
1. u7. Arrangements will be made for
this after the special committee has re
ported to the council in June.
Hoping that your state committee may
give Its cordial co-operation In these lines
of work, and also that the general commit
tee may be able to give you any encour
agement or asi'latancj In your state work
which you may desire.

The new year opens blight, with prom

la noticeable In dispatches from the west

cannot be secured or finished products can
not be forwarded to consumers. There u
much complaint from northwestern rlou
mills on this point, and export trade L
also restricted because grain and othe.
merchandise fail to reach the seaboaru
promptly. To this delay may be attributes
part of the decrease of ll.?4i,66 In exports

BRAD STREET'S REVIEW OF TRADE
Iaeastrlal Ilaes Never So Active
Before at This Seaaoa of Year.
NEW YORK, Jan. . Bradstreet's to
morrow will say:
Quiet prevails In distributive trade, but
Industrial lines were never so active at
this season. Post holiday and weather
conditions affect both wholesale and retail
trade, the latter line noting slackness In
demand for heavy wearing apparel. Clear
ance sales by jobbers nave cleaned up
stocks, which were at no time burdensome,
and many cities report retailers already be
ginning to stimulate sales In winter goods
By cut price sales.
Prices ot staples show remarkable
atrength and Iron and steel, leather, raw
wool, cotton and cotton goods display no
table firmness. While the car shortage
trouble Is still very acute the country over,
there are reports from a few sections,
imperially the northwest and parts of the
Pacific coast, that grain and lumber are
novlng more freely.
It Is noted now, as last year at tms time,
that mild weather, while a drawback to
tome lines of trade, allows of building be
.ng carried on In a usually closed season.
Collections are classed as good at ths west
tnd only fair In the northwest.
Building operations have fallen off, but
he railroads continue to place goodly
ontracts for structural shapes. Merchant
ars are active and wire products are In
ood demand. Coke Is strong and while
here Is a heavy shortage of supplies In
he Chicago district, the supply of local
.iy-product material Is sufficient to prevent
a serious situation. Coal Is nrm ana in
good demund. Ld and spelter are not so
nrm. Tin declines sharply in tne latter
part of the wk on pressure to sell and a
more favorable statistical situation. Do

The situation In textile markets Is an
