FIXING THE SLATE.

From the Chicago American it is
learned that most important meeting
of republicans who control the destinies
of the party in the state, was held in
Chicago Monday. 1t is noticed that
Mr.. Blythe was present. In reporting
the meeting the Chicago American Of
Monday night said:
Republican politicians of Iowa were
busy in the Auditorium Annex Hotel
this morning arranging their guberna.
torial slate and discussing the coming
election. Four of the leaders agreed to
meet in Chicago and go over the situa-
ton rather than arrange details in their
own state.
Senator Mik;zm 3. Alison. Senator
j. P. Dolliver, j. w. Blythe, d Bd fihQg E,
ton, G. Watson French, of Davenport,
and other prominent republican leaders
of the Hawkeye state were in secret
conference all morning.
Senators Allison and Dolliver arrived
in Chicago last night. The senior sena-
tor has been IN Florida for the last few
weeks, forgetting politics and having a
good time" as he expressed it. Senator
Dolliver has been in New York, Mr.
Blythe and Mr.. French came to Chicago
in answer to telegram. Mr.. French
came as the representative of Nationa

"How does it happen so many promi

today" he was asked.
ooh, they are like me-very fond o
Chicago and its people," he answered.
"But you are arranging the republi

SCHOOL DECISION.
A Important Ruling on Powers Of
School Directors.

Judge Weaver, of Iowa Falls, who is
presiding over the session of district
court now in session in Fl. Dodge, has
just handed down his decision in the
case of James F. and John Rial vs.. John
son school township. The decision as
rendered not only establishes prece-
dent but is of vital interest to the school
directors of the state. The history of
the case shows that the school directors
of johnson township submitted prop.
osition to the voters of the township to
vote a tax to raise $500 with which to-
build new school house in Dist. No. 6.
The building then in use was construct
ed thirty.two years ago, and was in
poor condition. The tax was voted at
the March election of 1899, and turned
in to the treasurer of the board. The
board, for some reason, refused to build
and sought to divert the money raised
to other uses, and wanted to submit
the questions to the voters in the town.
ship. Messrs. Rial, the plaintiffs insthe
case, secured an injunction restraining
the board, and began suit for mBn-
damus. The case was tried last week in
the district court, and the decision Of
the judge has just been giventin favor of
the plaintiffs. Judge Weaver expresses
his opinion that the defendant board is
not in any position to question the pro-
ceedings by which the tax was levied.
He pointed out that the tax was levied
and collected in the usual form, and
stated that the school board had no
duty in connection with it save to apply
it to the purpose for which it was col
lected.

The average girl in the course of time
marries, says thoughtful writer, and
she doesn't marry millionaire; she
marries a man who goes out six days in
the week digging for six dollars. 1t is
the wife's part of the partnership to
it for him. But if she doesn t
know housekeeping any further than
bakers bread, and fried beefsteak, the
chances are the family will always be
poor, that the man will quit shaving
more than once a week, and the girl will
slomick around in wrapper, and the
that the doctor will take all tn. money
the grocer leaves, and that the love
dream will soon be over and the devil
will be sitting beside the 6S cent alarm
clock holding his sides and laughing to
think what a pudding be will have when
death comes to the relief Of that down
trodden husband and God-forsaken lit
tie children.

Says Ateafney General.

Attorney General Mullan last week
nandled de%h decision to the auditor
ol state that will be.of special ipter-
ess to those who have farms. Mr.. Null.
Ian holds that promissory notes taken to
secure payment of rent are non assess
able and should not, be listed for taxa
ton until the note and rent are due.
Thus, notes given for this years rental
and dated March l, would be exempt
from taxation until the rental or note is
due. AS the assessment is made and
the books TUNED in by April l., such
notes are not required to be listed, as
the rental is not due at that time.
Should the note become due on January
II, it is evident that the assessor would
meyer obtain cognizance Of the note, as
it would be paid and out of the way be.

would seem that unless the holder OF
