The large and increasing circulation

The large ana increasing circulation
of The Iowa Homestead In this county
is matter for congratulstlon to the
publishers and to good farming, fer, OF
all the papers of its class in the cOnn-
try, 1t is easily the best and most help
full. Its Special Farmers Institute
editions, issued with the regular edition
the first week in each month, have been
for years the admiration of all practi-
cal farmers. Written wholly by farm
ers, they are full of actual experience,
and smell of the soil. We have been
fortunate enough this season to secure
terms for The Homestead and its Spec
ial Farmers Institute Editions, together
with The Poultry Farmer and The
Farmers Mutual Insurance Journal,
four of the most valuable farm publi-
cations in the country, that enable US to
offer the four in connection with our
own paper for $3.50 for the entire five,
one year. This is emphatically good
thing, and no farmer in this county
should fail to take advantage of this
offer. For q large line Of thoroughly
practical farm reading nothing has evel
been offered before that equals 1t. A
county psper,a farm paper, poultry
paper, q farm insurance paper and thu

TWAIN BARS LAND TRAVEL.
Has Taken Last Journey
Off Water.

Judge Adair Wilson. of the state court
of appeals, at Denver, Col, has received
an invitation from his old friend Mark
Twain" to visit him in New York city.
II would come to see you,'' said the
noted writer in his letter to the Col
orado man, ''but have decided never
again to attempt long journey on
land. l like to ride on water. but my
land Journeys are over. Come and let
US talk over old times"
Judge Wilson and .sMark Twain
were for years prominently identified
with Nevada City, New. They were
city editors of rival newspapers and
it was while working on the newspa-
per as city editor and reporter COM
bined that 'Twain" gathered together
the inimitable stories of life in mining
camp of the far west that helped to
make his name known throughout the
world.
1T was in 1863, in the height of the
civil war, when gold was selling at 200
per cent. and moving upward. that
Twain and I both missed fortune"
said Judge Wilson the other day. "The
Comstock lode was at that time Great
ing great excitement in all the specu-
lative circles of the United States. A
party of miners made Twain and my
self an offer of third interest in prop
erty which brought 100000 when put
on the market. but we both declined.' -

SCHOOL EXPENDITURES.
A Comparison of the Outlay in Di6er-
ent States and the Number of
Pupils Enrolled.

A special to the New York Herald
from Washington says: Expendi-
lures for school purposes in New York
last year amounted to $28,O52, ,566, and
while this was larger sum than was
expended by any other state, it was
only $4.03 per capita, while Massachu-
setts spent $5.07 per capita, Nevada
$4.96 and California $4.09. The small
est per capita expenditure in any
state was in North Carolina, where
it amounted to 53 cents.
Although having larger popula-
ton, New York falls behind Pennsyl-
vania in the number of pupils en-
rolled, the enrolment for Pennsylva-
mia being 1,1s6,146, against 1,179,351
for New York. The percentage of
pupils enrolled to population in New
York is 1894, while in Pennsylvania it
is 1875. The highest percentage of
school enrolment to population is in
Kansas, where it is 27.S7.
Iowa makes one of the best showings.
The total school enrolment in that
state is 554,992, or 26.42 per cent. of the
population. and the percentage of teach
ers to pupils is larger than in any other
state, there being 2s,6e4 teachers,
against 2s.s2s in Pennsylvania and 3d.
902 in New York, to teach approximate
ly twice the number of pupils in each
case as in Iowa.
