Canon City, Colo, Jan. 1.-THE at
tempt of the convict barber to murder
q 'trusty" in the state penitentiary
here revealed a plot to effect whole

the prison.
The convicts had arranged with
friends outside the prison to blow up
the stone walls surrounding the peni-

occur at breakfast time last Sunday
morning and was to be the signal for
a general attack upon the guards, who
with the warden and his deputies.
We're to be murdered.
A trusty who had been taken into
the confidence of the conspirators,
weakened at the last moment, and on
Saturday night revealed the matter to

vigorous search turnout the prison
was made, several crude weapons
being found
The informer was spotted, and on
Monday while being shaved, the con

SALT SAVES LIVES,
Its Efficacy in Replacing Blood is
Fully Demonstrated

Chicago. Jan. 9.-As a result of a
protracted series of experiments with
salt solutions, the efficacy of which in
prolonging life was recently announc-
ed by Professor Loeb, of the Univer-
sity of Chicago, two prominent physi-
clans here claim to have demonstrate
ed that in cases of great losses of
blood by disease or injury, normal
salt solution as restorative will save
life even when 80 per cent of the blood
has been lost. The experiments, which
have been extended over period OF
six months, have, according to the ply
sicians, made practicable new form
of bleeding and substitution of salt
solutions for persons suffering from
pneumonia, typhoid and malarial few
ers, peritonitis, acute and chronic
Bright's disease and all heart affec-
tons resulting from the last named
complaint. Much success has follow
ed all their experiments, the physi-
clans say, particularly those made
with pneumonia and Bright's disease.
In their experiments the physicians
used over 100 dogs, and found it pos
sible to withdraw 70 per cent of the
circulation from an animal before it
was necessary to inject stimulant
The final test was made on dog from
which 80 per cent of blood had been
drawn. A needle connected with a
salt water apparatus containing a two
per cent solution was inserted in the
jugular vein and second needle in
serted in the junction of the large
veins lying close to the heart. After
the blood had been drawn off the salt
solution was forced in around the
heart and into the vessels of the brain
The dog was able to stand inside o.
an hour and on the following day was
able to walk.

had disappeared. No claim was mad,

No School Money on Hand.

\ There is no money in the perma-
lnent school fund on hand for trans
Ter, while there are requests for at at
least $4,000 or $40 900 of such money
We're it Obtainable.. The auditor has
no authority to transfer the money
unless the county advises him that
he has money on hand which he is un-
able to loan out. The state auditor
then issues transfer order, the in
terest is charged to the new county
and the amount transferred credited
to the old county. Winnebago coun-
ty has received nearly $4,000 in this
manner within the past year.
A number of counties in which
large cities or towns are located carry
little or no school fund money be-
cause of the fact that school fund
money is loaned only on real estate
security and there is very little de-
mand for this money in these coun-
ties. Scott county has not cent of
the permanent school fund, while Du-
buque and Polk counties have but lit
tie. The bulk of the school money is
seated thru northern and northwest,
ern Iowa, where the country is being
built up, and where the low rate of
interest and good securities offered
make the loan an object to both the
mortgagor and to the state.
The permanent school fund has de
creased slightly during the past yea,
owing to the fact that foreclosure
was made in one county and the prop
erty sold at scheriff's sale. January
/, 1900, there was on hand in the per
manent school fund $4,74S,004.16
while on January / of this, year the
amount was but $4,746, 632.85.
Polk county one year ago had 30,
095 children of school age, while &C
cording to the last report of State Stu
perintepdent Barrett, Polk county has
25,S9S, or an increase of 500 children
OF school age within the year.

LIBRARIES IN IOWA.
Their establishment Has Taken
a Firm Hold on the State.
CARNEGIE GIFTS ARE RESPONSIBLE.
Latest Project is at Iowa Falls Where
Rich Iowa Man Proposes to Do the
Handsome Thing BY the Town
Many Carnegie Renefactions.

Des Moines, Jan. 12--The fad which
IS Just now taking deepest hold in
iowa is one that is being encouraged
by all progressive citizens. 1t is the
fad Ut establishing Libraries. Moth
ing like it in the way of an aggress-
i've educational movement has ever
been know In Iowa. The Carnegie
gifts are responsible for the imme-
date interest shown. Word has just
been received by the trustees of the
libraries in Ottumwa that the Carne-
gle $4,000 is ready for them and that
a draft on Carnegie for that amount
will DE honored whenever the work of
building is to be commenced. The
city council has purchased site for
the library and the deed is in the
hands of the trustees. There was
some delay on account of factious op-
position, but that is all ended now.
The city guarantees an appropriation
of $4,000 a year to support the IL
brary.
The FIT. Dodge library movement
has not progressed so far, but is is
assured and $4,000 will come from
Carnegie. The Dubuque library
movement is we'll under way. At
Grinnell newlibrary and building are
assured by the generosity of a local
philanthropist
The latest library project is at
Iowa Falls, where Z. S. Ellsworth, one
of the richest men in Iowa, has made
a proposal to the city that will result
in the establishment of new library.
He asks the city to purchase site and
he agrees to erect thereon fine Ii
brary building at his own expense
| and present it to the city. The cost
of the same has not been limited. In
I this connection he also proposes a
park system for the city by making
present to the city of his own prl
yate park, already very fine, on con
dition that the city acquire the river
| frontage for half mile below the
city to be used in connection there
with. The plans contemp' ate beau
tiful park system, where the natura
scenery is inspiring.
1t is this connection is stated BY
the state library board that the de
mand for books for travelling libraries
which are being established in ever,
corner of the state is so great tina
the publishers find it difficult to keel
up with the orders. 1t is certain
that the year 1901 will be a record
breaker in the matter of library ad
vancement in Iowa.

TO GET LESS MONEY.
School Districts of Iowa Will Not
Fare SO Well.
AOMONEyIN PERMANENT SCH0OLFUND.
Apportionment of Interest on Perma-
nent School Fund Reduced Because
of the Increase in Children and a
Decrease in Rates.

Des Moines, Jan. 1.-THE different
school districts in the state of. Iowa
will receive a smaller amount of APP
portionment money from the perma-
;anent school fund than ever before.
This is on account of the reduction In
the rate of interest by the last legis-
iature. Formerly the rate was per.
cent, the state charging per cent
and the county loaning the money and
receiving the additional / per cent
commission. A year ago when inter
est rates went down on account of
The plentiful amount of money in cir
culation it was found impossible to
loan the school fund money at the old
rare. The matter was called to the
attention of the legislature, and the
law amended SO that it read mot less
than per cent" The state now fur
nishes the money to the counties at
Az per cent instead of per cent:
In March the state auditor appor-
'tions the interest of the permanent
school fund among the different coun-
ties according to the number of pu-
pills of school age in each county ac-
cordfng to the report furnished him by
The state superintendent of public in
strnction. Superintendent Barrett
has already filed his report showing
that there are in the state 731 ,154
persons of school age, of which 371,-
1854 are males and $4,000 females. A
year ago the report of the state SUI
perintendent showed there were 1877
775 children of school age in the state,
an increase of about 3,400 within the
year.
The apportionment last year was
16 and 31-100 cents for each person
of school age, but with the increased
number of persons of school age this
year and the decreased rate of inter
est which has been charged the ap.
portionment will hardly reach more
than IL or 13 cents for each person.
The figuring out of the apportion,
ment this year is an intricate prob
lem for the bookkeeper in the Office
OF the state auditor. The interest
must be figured on the money in the
hands of each county at per cent uI
to the time the law permitting a de
crease in the interest rates went in
TO effect, and at Az per cent for tbs
remainder of the year. This togethei
with the numerous transfers Of
school money from one county to an
other makes the task of no mean pro
portion.
