The Teachers Normal.

The Polk County Teachers Normal opened at the high school building in this city Monday, with Prof. A. H. Teacher, of Van Buren, as instructor. Mr Teacher IS the superintendent of the public schocls at Van Buren, and has the reputation of being a bright young educator.
 The normal will only continue this week, and probably the fact of having so short a session accounts for the small number of teachers in attend ance from the country. The follow ing is the list of teachers enrolled:
 Deborah Owens, Sue Compere, Maude Levins, J. s. Mckinley, Addie McKin- ley, Maggie Kidding, J. c Mckinley, James Rogers, w. L. Nichols. w. D.. Ware, c. E. Watkins, Anna uudgins, Helen Porch, w. M. Shields, A. T. Hamiter, Bessie Reese, w. F. McKin- ley, Sam Perry.

"DRUMMERS" TO TESTIFY.
Commercial Men Whom the Trusts Have Thrown Out of Work will Appear
 Before Industrial Commission.

New York, June 3-Remarkable evidence will be given before the indus trial commission when Percy E. Dove, president of the Commercial Travellers National league, takes the stand to testify regarding the effect of trusts upon commercial travellers. Mir. Dove said yesterday:
 It Is case of 10000 men fighting for their existence as body of expert business men and I think the rank and file are fully alive to the seriousness of the situation. The 900 com mercial travellers in this country spend an average S3,000000 day in railroad fares and hotel expenses. I already have heard from nearly 4000 representative men and their opinion Is unanimously against all trust combinations and monopolies. have collected a quantity of evidence continued MT. Dove, and shall be able to give the commis- sion a number of instances in which the forma- tion of trusts has worked havoc among our ranks. The chair trust threw 1000 travellers out of employment The American steel comDina- tion caused the discharge of 300 travellers in one day from ono house taken into the combine. The tobacco deal cost $50 men their positions at one time. All these points and many others shall bring out in my evidence.

THEY FAVOR SAN FRANCISCO.
Nihe-Tenths Of the Officers and Privates of the Twentieth Kansas Want to Be
 Mustered Out on Pacific Coast.

Kansas City, Mo-, June 9.-A Star special from Hong Kong says: s.Peti- tions signed by nine-tenths of the of ticers and men of the Twentieth Kan sas regiment, urging muster out and discharge from the service in San Francisco, have been forwarded to Sen ator Baker"
 When told of the decision of the Kan sas regiment as cabled from Hong Kong by the Stars correspondent in Manila, John A, Brown, chairman of the committee of 30 appointed by the mayors of the two Kansas Citys, said 1t would be useless to try now to bring the regiment here. l.. M. Jones. secre- tary of the committee on finance, and Mir. Brown, have interviewed the rail- ways with view to transporting the regiment here ;S body after muster put in San Francisco. Both are of the opinion that this is out of the question. Even if S10 rate were secured, which is extremely improbable, the expense would be S10, 900 for transportation alone. Besides, the regiment would come without arms or equipment, and many of the men would leave the train long before it reached Kansas City. So the idea of transporting the regiment to Kansas City as body after muster out is out of question.

TO COLONIZE CUBA.
Paul vandervoort, Prominent G. A. R. Man, Wants to Take Lot of old
 Soldiers to the Island.

Omaha, Neb., June t3.-Paul Wander Voort has received letter from Presi- ;ent Mckinley acknowledging the re- ceipt of his letter offering to take to Cuba great colony of old sol diers of both the blue and the gray, whose presence shall be guarantee against the outlawry practiced by some of the Cuban bands. MT. Vandervoort is receiving hundreds of letters daily from veterans in all parts of the coun- try who are anxious to accompany the expedition. Mir. Vandervoort was for merly commander-in-ch of the Grand Army of the Republic. He says the colonists will go in the fall whether the movement has the sanction of the government or not--merely as private affair. The west and south seem to be the largest contributor to the scheme.

Marietta, O., June 14.-The factory of the Marietta Torpedo company blew sp yesterday afternoon and at least two men, Clyde Porter and Carl Harte, who were seen with horses when the accident happened, were killed. The factory was totally ruined. The explo- sion shook windows all over the city. Two horses and wagon were blown to atoms. Trees for 300 yards were stripped of foliage and the limbs of some trees were strewn with the flesh of the two men and of the horses. The theory is that the explosion was caused by the carelessness of Porter in unload ing nitro-glycerin.
