THE PRESIDENT is INVITED.
Tri-CIty Organizations Ask Nations Ex-
ecutive to Visit Here.


1t seems to be settled that President
Mckinley is to visit Chicago this sum-
mer on the occasion of the laying of
the cornerstone of the great federal
building there, and an effort is being
made by the people of these cities to
induce him to include them in his
itinerary. The following communica-
ton, dispatched yesterday, states
the case:
To his Excellency, William McKin-
ley, President of the United States,
Washington, ID. C.-Respected Sir:
On behalf of the people of this local
ity, and as representatives of their re-
spective organizations in the cities of
Moline and Rock Island, Illinois, and
Davenport, Iowa, we extend to you a
Joint and cordial invitation to visit
the tri-cities and the United States
great arsenal on the island of Rock
Island, either on your way to Mime
apolis and the Yellowstone Park this
summer or on your return.
The tri-cities are so located that
thousands would gather here to wei
come you.
Trusting that we may have the
pleasure of informing our citizens
that we are to have the honor of the
presence of the president of the United
States in our cities this summer, we
remain, very respectfully,

THE LEvEE WAREHOUSE.
Capt. Streckfus Emphasizes the Need OF
Some Facilities.

Capt. Streckfus Emphasizes the Need OF
Some Facilities
Capt. John Streckfus, manager of
the Acme Packet company, control
ling the steamers Winona and Verne
Swain. has given notice to the COM
pany's local agent, Capt. George La
mont, to the effect that hereafter the
company will receipt for no freight
until loaded on the boat. This course
Capt. Streckfus explains, is due to the
fact that there are no safe storage
facilities convenient to the river.
This action on Capt. Streckfus' part is
quite different from that of the Dia-
mond 10 company, which instead of
abiding a reasonable length of time
in which to adjust the warehouse sit
uation in Rock Island, prematurely
boycotted the town by refusing to
land here because the city would not
consent to let the company do as it
pleases. Capt. Streckfus has, how
ever. tried to get along with the facil-
tiles as they are, and even now he
does not make any threats against the
city, or manifest any disposition to
give US the go-by. His action is all
the more effective on that account,
and much more apt to bring about a
disposition of the warehouse subject
on the part of the council, than had
he followed the example of attempting
to bulldoze. 1t is to be hoped that
the council will at an early date take
up the warehouse question and dis
pose of it finally in Il manner which,
while standing out against special
privileges there, will provide for con-
veniences fair and equal to all steam

SCHOOL CHILDREN.
Instructions to County Superintendents


The following letter of instruc.
Itions TO the county superintendent
was sent Monday by the superin-
tendent Of public instruction:
Pupils who were last year in at.
tendance in town graded high
school or commissioned high school
and were promoted regularly to the
high school from the eighth grade
without diploma, are entitled to
transfer when high school is not
maintained in the township in which
they live. In many instances it
will be found lha. such pupils did
mot know an examination for di-
ploma was necessary. They have
compiled with all the requirements
of the school and teachers, and it
would be highly unjust to them to
refuse a transfer now. After this
year, however, the diploma must in
'all cases be the basis for transfer
Tor high school privileges from the
eighth grade.
ave advise that in making pay
ment for transfers the same should
be based on the actual per capita
expense for educating the children,
provided, of course, that it does not
exceed the amount named in the
transfer law. The payments for the
year do not have to be made until
July 1, 1900, at which time the per
capita cost can be accurately ascer-
tanned. Two corporations may
enter into contract to educate the
children of one at a cost less than
that named in the law.
"lour attention is called especial
ly to the library law enacted by the
last general assembly. Many dis
trict schools should secure the cir
culating library For particulars,
address State Librarian w. 4. Hen
ry, indianapolis. One section of
tins law gives the township trustees
the right to levy library tax if the
people vote it. Teachers should be
urged to arouse public sentiment
during the coming year to the end
that a library tax shall be voted in
many townships.
According to law, it will be
necessary for the school trustees to
provide for at least six months of
school in ali schools of the state. If
the trustees do not have sufficient
funds they will be allowed to 'antic-
ipate the local tuition fund for a
year CT two until the revenues from
the increased levies have been re-

Must Get Permit From q Health Officer
10 Bury After Oct LIST.

The burial law passed by the last
"Reform' Legislature becomes
effective cn the 1st of October, when
1t will be necessary TO secure per-
mission from = health officer to bury
the dead in Indiana. The new law
relating to the collection of vital
statistics will become operative the
first of the month, and the State
Board of Health is now sending out
the blanks which will be required.
The law specifically requires that no
body shall be buried without a per-
nit from a health officer, and tine
of from $40 to 800 is provided for
viols tons of the law. The law also
requires that where body is buried
without a permit it shall be disin-
TERED and an inquest shall be held
by the coroner. No fee shall be
charged for the permit. On the
first of every month, reports will be
required from each health officer
and the complete records will be
preserved at the central office. Re-
ports will be required from each
health officer whether any death
has taken place or not. Inquiries
are frequently received from all
parts OF the world asking about the
death OF certain persons in this
state. Such requests come from
those desiring to settle estates, and
heretofore no record has been kept.

National Prosperity = 1t is just
the contrary. If times were pros
porous that money would be loaned,
and invested in business enterprises,
but as long as the single gold stand
ard keeps the price of wheat and
other products of labor below the
cost OF production, there can be no
general prosperity-although few
speculators may get rich upon the
pressing needs Of their neighbors.
The latter is what gigantic trusts are
