REVISING SCHOOL ACCOUNTS
Board Takes Steps to Put Member
Reid's Suggestion Into Practice.
TALK OF AN ATHLETIC PARK
lllnk rhool Inwilllnii Presents the
Vntter, lnt Boaril Inclined to
Think the Ksprnse Is
Tot, tirent.
The Board of Education met In adjourned
regular session last evening for the pur
pose of considering the suggestion of Mem
ber W. B. Reer that a new and more de
tailed system of keeping the accounts of
the school district be adopted. Mr. need.
Who had been r 'quested to recommend ame
system submitted his report and same was
referred to the finance committee and the
committee on printing and supplies with
power to act in the matter of securing tho
necessary books, blanks, etc.
Vnder the new system as recommended
by Mr. Reed It will be possible at the end
of each month to ascertain the expense of
maintaining any single building or the
expense of any department of the schools,
supplies, fuel, repairs and all Mother ex
penses. All bids before being paid will
have to be accompanied by a requisition
signed by the chairman of the proper com
mutes. It was also suggested that teach
ers and Janitors be paid by check Instead of
having them sign the monthly pay roll,
but no definite action was taken on this.
A committee from the athletic association
of the high school waited on the board
with a request that It provide the school
with an athletic park. The committee
stated that It had In view four acres ly
ing south of Twenty-ninth avenue and
east of the street car tracks which would
be suitable for the purpose. The board
asked that the committee make a definite
proposition, giving the probable cost of
the ground, aim ai to low m.ich the ground
could be leased for. At the same time the
board did not hold out to the committee
moeh hope that the finances of the district
would permit any expenditure for the pur
pose suggested.
The matter of erecting a new smoke
stack on the high school building and rais
ing the old one which had slipped down the
brick chimney was left with the i lmmlt
tee on buildings and grounds to cope with.

RATING OF THE COLLEGES
State Board of Examiners Sends Oat
Letters to Their Presidents.
LAW STARTS HEALTHY RIVALRY
Weekly Report of Weather Crop Bo
reaa Shows Corn On the Low
land In Bad Condition and
and Moch of It Rained.
(From a Staff Correspondent.)
DES MOINES. June 24. (Special.) In a
letter sent out to all the college presidents
of Iowa today the State Board of Educa
tional Examiners states that In dairy
ing the colleges of Iowa for teachers' cer
tificates a system of Inspection will be es
tablished before the close of the next col
lege year.
The last legislature provided that the
board should classify the colleges of Iowa
and give teachers' certificates to the grad
uates without examination, the grade cf
the certificate to depend upon the advance
ment of the college. The board provided
eight points as to equipment and effici
ency and the colleges meeting all of these
eight points get the highest certificates for
Its graduates.
The board claims, however, that such
objective requirements are not a good test
exclusively and a system of personal In
spection will be established. It is asserted
bv the members of the board that nothing
was ever done In Iowa of such vaBt bene
fit to the colleges of the state as the pas
sage of this law giving state teachers' cer
tificates to graduates of the colleges. These
certificates being graded and based on the
work done In the colleges have spurred
the coleges to make every effort to got
the highest rating from the state board as
an advertisement for their Institutions.
Some of the smaller colleges In point of at
tendance of pupils have secured the high
est rating.
' Bad Year for Farmers.
This is a bad year for the farmers. The
veekly bulletin by the weather arid crop
service shows that In many sections of the
state land that has been planted to corn
has been abandoned because of the wet
weather and It Is predicted further that If
the wet, sultry, hot weather continues the
small grain that has been doing fairly well
will be attacked by rust. The bulletin says
In part:
All flat and bottom lands In the area
of heavy ralnfalWwere again flooded, caus
ing the abandonment of many fields of
corn. A large acreage has also been aban
doned In southern and southeastern coun
ties, due to the previous heavy rains and
continued high stage of the rivers. A loss,
during the week, of 40 per cent In the gen
eral condition of crops Is reported trom

shorter than usual at this seasm of tin
year. Is making very good growth, except
in the flooded districts, small grain Is doing
well, but the conditions are such that If
the warm, sultry weather continues, rust
will develop very rapidly. Considerable
clover has been cut. but owing to the high
percentage of humidity and the excessive
in ih. nlnnta. It is curing very
slowly, and some has already been dam
aged. With favorable weather, haying op
erations will become quite general during
the coming week, with prospects of a
large crop. Sugar beets are doing well In
the northeastern counties.
Prohibitionists sit Dea Moines.
A hot time Is expected at the prohibition
convention In Des Moines Wednesday,
when resolutions will be introduced attack
ing the government, state and army. They

TICKET BRYAN AND CHANLER
Norman K. Mark of "few York Believe
That I the Rest Democrats
Can Do.
Bryan of Nebraska and Chanler of New
Tork.
This will be the democratic rational
ticket, according to Norman E. Mack,
editor of the Buffalo Times and national
committeeman from New York, who with
his wife, spent Tuesday night in Omaha
enroute to Lincoln where they spend today
the guests of Bryan Mr. Mack talked
freely of democratic plans and hopes and
says he Is confident that his party will
win.
"The nomination of Sherman by the
r publicans makes It advisable for us to
also choose a New Torker for vice presi
dent, and I therefore think that Lieutenant
Governor Chanler of our state will be In
all likelihood be nominated." said Mr.
Mack. "Former Governor Dongles of
Massachusetts Is also a figure, much more
so than Sullivan. Johnson. Mitchell. Gray
or any of the other possibilities, but Chan
ler Is the man for the place. He Is by
far a stronger man than Sherman and
the democrats will carry New Tork by
100,000 majority.
"Bryan will of course be nominated, and.
I think, by acclamation. I very much
doubt If any other name will be presented.
Yes, of course Bryan" will be elected, he
Is stronger than he was In VS96 or In lflon."
Asked what would be the "paramount
Issue" of tho unterrlfled this year, the
New York committeeman replied that they
"will have three tails to the.r Ute, though
none of them will be free sliver, antl-tm-perla'lem
or governn.ent ownership of
railroads.
"The demeerMIe party will declare for
ImmeJIMe revision of the tariff, absolute
annihilation of tl -j trusts and regulation
f the mllroads." he said. "I do not mean
tr-.-irnment ovnershlp of the railroads,
' it -emulation of them, though I do not
care to go Into a minute description of
thin plank at this time. We believe the
tariff should be revised now, not at some
far distant date, and that the trusts should
not simply be curbed but wiped out com
pletely. "I am free to say that our platform will
be a platform. There Is absolutely nothing
to the republican platform, It Isn't worth
that," and the speaker snapped his fingers
and refilled his glass with mineral water.
"The republican Injunction plank Is, Is,
well, I Just can't say what It is, can you?
Mack says that the national commutes
on arrangements In Denver on Saturday
will choose the officers of the convention,
but who the permanent and temporary
chairmen will be he does not know. He
mentioned four men from whom he says
the selections will doubtless be mado.
These four are Senator Culberson of
Texas. Governor Folk of Missouri, Con
gressman Clayton of Alabama and former
Congressman Bell of California.
None of the faithful met Mr. and Mrs.
Mack when they alighted from the Rock
Island train at 11:06 last night and they
were allowed to find their way to their
hotel alone. They leave this morning for
Lincoln and proceed Thursday to Denver
to remain until after the convention.
I'pon his arrival In the city Mr. Mack
bought the papers to learn of the con
dition of Representative Sherman, and
expressed deep regret on his Illness. He
says that Sherman Is a big man and that
they are personal friends.

the departure of the American minister,
W. W. Rjsst-11, and Lieutenant Fmncls
A. Rua-gles. the military attache withdrew
from the legation at Caracas on Saturday
and proceeded to Porto Cabello. The
Interests of the United States were placed
In charge of the Braslllan legation, as tho
representatives of the European nations
are having considerable friction with Presi
dent Castro's government. The American
consular agent, John Brewer, remains here
In charge of the archives.
President Castro returned here suddenly
a few days ago, after a long absence In
the Interior and his arrival attracted much
attention. All kinds of rumors are cur
rent and the withdrawal of the represen
tatives of the United States Is not quits
understood by Venesuelans. It ia probable
too, that there will be an early rupture
with Holland and there are reports that
a revolution against the administration is
being oraantaed In Columbia. As matters
now stand, the United States, France and
Columbia practically have no relations with
Veneruela; Great Britain and Holland nave
serious questions pending with the govern
ment; Germany alone has no dispute.
Castro's Organ Brave.

Before his withdrawal from the legation

matic Immunity would continue until ha
was on board the Marietta, ther being no
question of war Involved. The communi
cation to Mr. Sleeper extended to him tne
cordial wishes of the administration for
a happy voyage.
Friction With Holland.
The recent diplomatic friction between
Venesuela and Holland over the closing
of Venezuelan ports to Dutch vessels and
President Castro's decree, prohibiting the
trans-shipment of cargoes In the Island of
Curaco reached a crisis several days ago
when the president vigorously answered
a note sent him by the Dutch minister, J.
H. De Reus, protesting against the decree
and criticising the Venezulean consul at
Wlllemstad. President Castro refused to
modify the orders which he had Issued.
Minlsted de Reus Is now awaiting Instruc
tions from The Hague and the opinion
among the diplomats here and others In
well Informed circles Is that a severing of
relations between the two countries Is not
unlikely.
WASHINGTON, June 23.-The state de
partment haa been officially notified of
the departure of Secretary Jacob Sleeper
of the American legation at Caracas, Vene
zuela, ' aboard the Marietta, leaving the
United States without a diplomatic repre
sentative In that country. A state of ex
pectancy exist and Is the result of the In
ability of this country to secure any satis
faction from President Castro, through
Minister Russell.
