It has been suggested that the water company should long ago have reinforced the mains in the Implement district. To this the answer is that every fire chief since 1890 has In his annual report, com plimented the, company on its fire service Walters, Levlne, Nicholson, Templeton and Bates. ' There has never been a suggestion from fire chief or council that the main in the Implement district was Insufficient until Mr. Klersted made his test In 1904. Up to that time the company denies all knowledge that the main waa too small. As late as 1S06 the water committee John Olaon, chairman made a report on hydrant rentals of the time ending April 1, but made no criticism of fire service and made no recommendations for enlargement or extension of maina. When Mr. Klersted came he found the main In question had, by reason of the Increased quantity of the water It had constantly drawn from It, become Insufficient. By that time the com pany's franchise had expired and, of course, it could not iiut In new mains. His report waa before tho Union Transfer fire, and another great house was lost to the city. Is that not enough? Do the citizens now want to take the responsibility of leaving the city In Its present unprotected condi tion and let the reat of our large buildings burn upT E. W. HART.

The Board of Education, at a snax-tal I meeting last night, accomplished little i towards arranging for the establishment of the manual training department at the opening of the new school year in Septem ber. The question of a location for the new department was discussed at length but no conclusion reached. In faot, the board concluded not to take any stens towarls securing a location or equipment until It Is assured an Instructor can be obtained. ' The matter of securing an Instructor for the manual training department was loft with Superintendent Clifford. The board ex pecta to pay from plO to tl.rton per annum for a manual training Instructor. Attention of the board was called to the fact that the deed to one of the lots on which the North Eighth Street school Is lo cated has never been recorded and the title, so far as the records show, is still in the heirs of the Folsom estate. The matter wig referred to. Member Tlnley to Investigate. At the same time the school district's title.

IS A PRONOUNCED STANDPATTER Also Counts ob the Barking of the Old Soldier Klemrnt Ompany Incorporates to Construct s Brewery In Des Molnrs. (From a Staff Correspondent.) DES MOINES. July 28.-(SiieclaL-Major Rathbun of Marlon, la., editor of the Marlon Register and an old wheelhorse of the republican party. Is In Des Moines and has been here for two or three dcys. It Is learned that a number of politicians from over the state have been In to see him, and all this lves rlae to the rumor that he and his friends are canvassing the situation as to the governorship for next year. Major Rathbun was a candidate last year and was the only candidate, asldn from Perkins and Cummins, who had any delegates at the state convention. The major would not confirm the rumor today. The vigorous discussion that the ques tion of candidates for governor Is getting In the newspapers of the state, coupled with the strong sentiment for one or more old soldier candldutes, which Is strong because of the fact that this Is probably the last opportunity there will ever be for an old soldier candidate to enter the race, la has.T.iIng the plans of some of the candidates. Major Rathbun claimed to be the only standpst candidate In the race last year. He claimed that George D. Perkins waa as much of a revisionist as Cunvr.lns, while he opposed revision. It Is surmised that If he finally delermlnds to enter the race thla year It will be on the same platform that he ran on last year. Major Rathbun waa at the atate bouse today and called on a number of hla frlenda. Wherever he visited It seemed to be In tho atmosphere trat he was likely soon to enter th. field for the governor ship. To all his friends he scld that he had rarely enjoyed aa good health aa at the present time and had back all but his flesh. Recently he suffered a sick spell that considerably reduced his weight, but In every other way he la now entirely re covered and declared his ability to eat five meals a day, l.eav. for Wanalarios.
