The Attorney General of Iowa reports to the Leg
sate that he has found It impossible to collect any
portion of the $4,000 OF the State School Funds e-
galy loaned to individuals by DR.. j. D. Eads, the late
Superintendent Of Public Instruction. 1t Is also doubt
full if anything be collected on Eadss official bond.
SO the State is chseled out Of the entire sum. As Dr.
Eads ia a Democrat, the Administration organs will
probably pass this little matter in silence, and
continue to devote themselves to Treasurer Peck Of
Maine.
