FREE SCHOOL BOOKS in IOWA.

1t is Tried.
Des Moines, Jan. 31.-The Ques-
ton of free text books is being agitat-
ed in Iowa more than ever before. At
present there are nut comparatively
few of the school districts of the state
that have voted free text books.
Among these are all the districts In
Des Moines, and in them the system
is working in most satisfactory man.
ner. Following is list of the coun-
ties in which one or more school dis
tricts have free text books. ALBANIA
kee, Audubon, Calhoun, Cedar, Cerro
Gordo, Clay. Clinton, Dallas, Fremont,
Guthrie, Hancock, Hardin, Harrison,
Jackson, Marshall, Mills, Page, Poca-
hontas, Polk, Ringgold. Sioux, Story,
Tama, Warren, Webster, Winnebago
and Woodbury.. Over half of the coun-
ties of the state have uniform text
books.
The movement in this direction has
been taking place ever since 1890,
and is including more counties every
year. Formerly no effort was made
outside of the larger cities to secure
uniform text books even in adjoining
school districts. The result was that
pupils living within a stones throw
of each other might be studying en-.
ltireiy different books, and in many
cases transfer from one school to
another was almost impossible.

"coIN" HARVEY IN KANSAS.
Was Seen There Recently by Geo. r.
Williams of Ida Grove.

A letter from DR.. George T. Will
liams, of Ida Grove, to DIR. A. o. Will
liams of ottumwa, tells of his visit
recently to the hostelry of "Coin"
Harvey, who made a half million dol
lars out of the 16 to enterprise. Har-
vey has located six miles east of Rog-
ers, Ark, and is building magnifi-
cent resort" which he calls Monte
Me-" and in which he is said to be
investing $250,0O0. He is erecting
cottages, a great hotel and making a
lake. There is room for interpre-
tation in the name Harvey has be-
slowed upon his place, but Mr.. Will
liams thinks it is likely to soon become
the Monte Carlo of America. 1.-THE
week I was there" says Mr.. Williams,
"there was only one other Iowa mans
name registered and of course he hail
ed from Sioux City. His name was
Russell and he was contracting for
fruit for a Sioux City wholesale
house.

sunday School Work.

The reports of home department
work in the Sunday school made at
the last state Sunday school conven-
ton shows that at one time there
were nearly two hundred schools that
had adopted the plan, and had enroll
ed nearly 5000 members in their home
departments. This is good showing
when it is remembered that the work
was not fully inaugurated in the state
until 1897. This year the State Sab
bath School association is making a
speciality of this work, and thru its
home department secretary, Rev. C. ].
Kephart, of Des Moines. they will glad.
ly furnish to pastors, superintendent
and others all information needed for
starting home department..

The weather may always be talked
about; it is a, subject that never
grows old, but it is seldom that there
is ever anything interesting said about
it. Once in great while some talk
and enchanting way-but it is not
very often. About the most interest
ing and by far the most instructive re-
sumo of weather and climatic condi-
tions that have been given for long
time, is paper on the "Climatology
of Iowa. read recently before the
State Horticultural society, by ] r..
Sage. 1t was printed in the monthly
bulletin issued by the United States
department of agriculture, publica-
-ytion that is scarcely ever read by the
people, and for the reason that there
are numerous features of the paper
that cannot help but instruct and in
terest Courier readers, it is printed
herewith in full. The paper read by
Mr.. Sage is as follows:

ments and conditions are substantial-
~ permanent, we have ample assur-
rance of the stability Of climate. The
suns energy is a physical constant,
producing in earth and air the three
fold forms of force termed heat, light
and electricity, and causing the var
led phenomena of evaporation and
precipitation, wind movements, storms,
etc. So we have natures warranty
that the climate of this section will
be practically unchanged for long as
the continents and seas abide in their
present forms and bounds. and the
everlasting mountains remain in

AL climatic records attest this fact
of permanence. And the student OF
climatology may find in the constitu
ents of the soil ample proofs. as to
the weather conditions existing many
thousands of years prior to the his
toric age, in like manner as the skill

DIES FROM Dowlg PRACTICE.
An Illinois Woman Refused Service Of
a Doctor.

Lexington, ILL.,, Feb. Mrs. Apper-
an. wife Of school teacher, is dead
She became a mother a week ago. She
and her husband were Dowieites. No
medical attendance was given her, but
a professor of the Dowieite faith came
from Chicago and was at her bedside.
Neighbors volunteered their services
and medicines, but all offers We're re-
fused. The woman's husband was
about to remove her remains to Ohio,
but this was prevented and there were
threats of violence toward Apperan
and the Chicago Dowieite. The latter,
however, got away, returning to Chi
cago.
The coroner was summoned but no
doctors certificate of death could be
obtained and the witnesses could not
be gotten together, SO the inquest had
to be postponed. The excitement is
intense.

killing stuff and plenty heavy enough
to meet the needs Of the packers. Tracing
has been fairly active, but at a decline
OF l54D20c on even the best quality sheen

at very low prices. Good quality lambs
sold today at $3.50 and good wethers at
$40 Very truly,
