Allowance Reduced.

The per capita support allowance of
several state institutions has been re-
duced as follows: Hospitals for the in
sane at Independence and Mount Pleas
ant, from $14 to $12 per month; hos
pital for the insane at Clarinda, $14 to
$13 per month; industrial school for
boys, Eldora, ten to nine dollars per
month; industrial school for girls,
Mitchellville, eleven to ten dollars per
month. Children are now admitted to
the school for the deaf in Council Bluffs
at the age of five years. This is in
creased to seven years, as it has been
found impracticable to take care of
children sent there at the age of five
years

Total
Tax Continued.

The state university for the restitu-
ton of it's library is allowed to continue
its tenth of mill tax one additional
year, which will produce $4,000. OF
this, $4,000 is to be used in the pay
ment of debt which was incurred in
the emergency work that was done
after the fire. The rest of the money,
Sal, 900, will be used in the purchase of
books from time to time as it becomes
available. This one-tenth of a mill tax
which was authorized by the last legis-
lature for five years, is for the purpose
of erecting buildings, but is not all
used each year in the erection of the
building planned, and the regents are
authorized to use such balances as may
remain for the purchase of books, not,
however, to exceed the amount of the
tax for one year.

Will Wait Awhile.
The advocates of woman suffrage
determined not to push their cause any
further in this legislature. They did
not succeed in passing the resolution
for the submission in either house, so
they have decided to go ahead with
their educational campaign in the state
with hope of further arousing public
sentiment during the next two years
to an extent sufficient to secure the
adoption of the resolution for consti-
tutional amendment allowing women
to vote by the next legislature. They
will hold county conventions in every
county in the state during the summer
and fall.
Mortgages and Taxes.
A bill has passed both houses which
allows debtors to retain possession of
mortgaged property for the full year al
lowed for redemption, any contract to
the contrary Notwithstanding.
The bill to tax real estate mortgages
and exempt mortgaged real estate from
taxation to the extent to which the
same is mortgaged, which passed the
house, has been indefinitely postponed
by the senate committee on ways and
means.
After some discussion on the floor of
the senate the same committee reversed
it's action and indefinitely postponed
the bill to repeal the section of the code
which allows an offset of debts against
assessment on moneys and credits.
The house defeated the bill by Mr.. Ray,
of Poweshiek, in the interests of mer-
chants, to make homesteads liable for
debts incurred for family necessities in
excess of So, 500.
County High Schools.
The law in regard to organization of
county high schools has been changed
i'll compliance with the wishes of the
people of Guthrie county, who claimed
to have been over taxed in the support
of the county high school in that coun-
ty, which is the only one in the state.
The law is changed so that the govern
ing board is allowed to levy for building
purposes only $500 without submitting
the levy to vote of the people. The
present law allows a levy of five mills.
The board must make an apportion-
ment of pupils to each township, and
townships sending more than a quota
| must pay tuition. To disestablish the
school the board of supervisors must
have a petition signed by a majority of
the voters in the county, when the
board may order an election by giving
60 days notice.

concert that promises to be one of the
social ana musical successes OF the year
will be given for the benefit of the Nor
ton Cadets, the crack drill team, and really
the champion military company of the
United States, at the National Theater,
Sunday evening, February 20. The Morton
Cadets are heavily in debt just at present,
and the coming benefit will be rendered by
friends of the company who desire to see
the boys get out Of financial entanglements
and on their feet again. The Mortons are
the pride Of the city in military matters.
and their fine work on the drill ground
has entitled them to this place in the
hearts OF the people of the national capi-
tai On this account the benefit should be
given hearty support that will insure be-
yond all doubt its financial success. The
recent trip Of the boys to Galveston, Tex,
entailed some pretty heavy expenses and
the hocus-pocus way in which the prizes
boys from first place, and, of course the
largest slice of prize money, necessitating
the raising of funds by private enterprise
This has crippled the company financially,
and. although the boys have made a game
effort to extricate themselves, they are
now obliged to fall back upon the benefit
entertainment which has been rendered
them for relief. There will be a splendid
prepared for the concert, the chief
feature being Haleys Military Concert
Band and Orchestra, which may be con-
sidered Washington's representative mu-
steal organization. There will be other
numbers in line with this sterling musical
organization, and the artistic success of
the venture is assured. All that is re-
CURED Is hearty financial support.

EIGHTH REGIMENT.

IT BECAME A REGIMENT IN 1896.

Members Of the National Guard will regret to
hear that Colonel Henry Chauncey jr, the COM
manding officer Of the Sth Regiment. has asked
to be retired. The request was received at the
headquarters of the Fifth Brigade yesterday
and was forwarded by General Smith to division
headquarters. The reason assigned for his re-
tirement is pressure OF business and inability
to give the Office the attention which it should
have.
Colonel Chauncey is well known not only in
his regiment and in the Fifth Brigade but be-
of his activity in the affairs Of the Ma
tional Guard Association throughout the State.

ant Of Company G, Sth Regiment on March ],

rank Of major. and when the command was
reduced TO n battalion in 1893 ne was assigned
10 its command. From that time he a dill
gent and constant worker in the cause OF the
command which became a regiment largely
through his efIcrts in 1896. when he was chosen
as its commander
When the call for troops came in the war with
Spain the Sth Regiment responded promptly.
and Colonel Chauncey led the regiment to Camp
Townsend with upward Of one thousand men, Of
which number about 30 per cent were Of the
original regiment From Camp Townsend the
Eighth was ordered to Camp Thomas at Chicka
