ALL WANT NoRMALs.
Many Iowa Towns Would Like to be
Favored.

: Charlton, Jan. 2o.-{Special.)- Some
of the most enterprising citizens of
Charlton are endeayoring to interest
the people in trying to secure one of
the state normal schools for this place,
but the majority of the people have
become disheartened over their defeat
several years ago ana do not take hear
tily to the idea. At is to be hoped,
however that sufficient interest may be
worked up to secure this useful and
profitable adjunct toiour already pros
porous and enlightened little city.
Centerville yyoula Haveaa Normal.
Centerville, Jan. 20. Great interest
is being manifested by the people of
this locality over 3he. proposed estab-
lishment of the new normal schools.
An earnest and united effort is to be
made to secure the location of one of
the schools at Centerville 81 Centerville
isscentrally located in the large section
of the state, lying Between Ft.Nladison
and Mt. Pleasant, Glenwood and Coun-
Gil Bluffs, on the west, that has never
been favored in the location of state
institutions. Its railroad facilities are
unsurpassed, affording easy and direct
access from the entire southern part of
the state. Its location is healthy and
choice of numerous excellent cites can
be had. The social and moral influ-
ences are of the best, the influence of
the various churches being very strong.
Centerville has no saloons and the tenn
perance sentiment is so general and ac-
tive as to effectually discourage at
tempts to establish them.
They Want a Normal, Too.
Columbus junction, Jan. 20.-Louisa
county is aroused over the normal
school location from center to circum-
ference, and feel their claims must be
recognized by the republican legisla-
ture. The fact is well known in the
party that we are looked to as the hot
bed in southern Iowa, and to our 10y
atty to republican principles does the
aspirant for office naturally turn with
confidence for the votes to secure cleo
ton, and as true as the needle to the
north pole, have they been given. Yet
we have been very, modest in pushing
our claims for official positions, and
slow in demanding{ our just claims il
the distribution of the emoluments
that have been distributed among
those less worthy. We only mention
these facts to call the attention Of oul
Republican senators and representa-
tives in the general assembly to this
important matter that they may bt
prompted to do their duty.

The Board OF Health has finally

The report Of Plumbing Inspec-
tor Duffy stated that it would be
necessary TO require all master
plumbers to take out license, and
to require journeymen plumbers to
pass an examination before they are
granted the right to ply their
trades. This was considered mat
ter for the consideration of the
Legislature, and not for the board
to decide.
1t is never too late to mend, but
the present Board of Health would
be wise by retiring before the Legis-
