Des Moines, Jan. 4.-In view OF the
fact that the next meeting of the Ma
held in Minneapolis, with which rail-
road connections are good from all parts
of Iowa, and as a compliment to the
president OF the national association
who is an Iowa man, the attendance OF
Iowa teachers at the next meeting is
likely to be larger than at any meeting
In the history OF the association. At the
last meeting Iowa had seventy nine ac-
tive members and $50 associate mem
bers. AT several of the meetings Iowa
has had over 1000 members. Leading
educators who attended the recent
state educational convention estimate
thar the attendance at Minneapolis
from Iowa will break all records. The
following has been the attendance from
Iowa at the national associations be-
ginning In 1854 and up 10 the last year:
Madison 3o4, Saratoga IL, Topeka 81,
Chicago 1,146, San Francisco 96, Nash
vile 81, ST. Paul 572, Toronto us, sara
toga 10. Asbury Park 164. Denver l,0S6,
Buffalo 57S, Milwaukee, 543, Washington
3sS, Los Angeles 1893, Charleston SO, De-
troit 444. 1t will be seen that the Chlr
cago and Denver meetings in 1887 and
1894 respectively had the largest rep
resentation OF Iowa teachers Last
year at Detroit James NJ. Green, OF

Manchester. A special committee wes
appointed at the meeting of the Iowa
associate ton to work up large party at
the national association meeting and
Iowa will have headquarters open in
charge of Professor kratz. who has just
resigned his position as superintendent
OF Sioux City schools.
The Inauguration ceremonies attend
ant on the induction into office OF A. b.
Cummins as governor and John Herri-
oft as lieutenant governor will occur
Jan. 1e, and they Will be thoroughly
democratic in nature and yet the mill
tary feature will be made prominent.
Four companies of the Iowa National
Guard will be brought here to act as an
escort to the governor-elect on the way
from the state house to the Auditorium,
where the exercises will be held. These
companies ere the ones at Dubuque.
Davenport. Red Oak and Company L at
Sioux City. The four companies will
have their expenses paid by the state,
amounting to about $500, but they will
not receive any special compensation
for their services. The band of the Fiji
ty-first regiment at Centervllle Will be
invited to furnish the music. AT the
Auditorium the seats will be free and
first come will get the seats. The ]egis-
!ators and the state officers will occupy
the stage. There will be the usual re-
ception at the state house in the eve
ming. Senator Dowell of this city, has
been selected as head of the committee
of arrangements. One reason for max
ing the occasion something of a military
display is the fact that the Iowa Ma
tional Guard has only just been fully
reorganized since the war for the liber-
alton of Cuba. and even now the one
company in Des Moines is only In pro-
ces,s of formation. Governor Cummins
has expressed desire that the members
OF his staff and the aides shall be men
who will actually take an interest In
military affairs. He has selected thus
far men who are known to have decided
military tastes. If the weather is good
the occasion will be made a memorable
one in Iowa.
Lieutenant Governor Herrlott and
Speaker Eaton We're in conference yes
terday. and both have had conferences
with Governor Cummins. and he has
had conferences with Governor Shaw.
1t appears that the republican party
hae entered upon an era of good feeling.
1t ia reasonably certain that the session
of the legislature coon to be entered
upon will be free from rancor and BIT
terness There is no issue likely to arise
that will divide the party or cause any
great dissensions in either house 1t is
believed that the committees as pre-
pared by Herriott and Eaton will be
good ones and generally satisfactory.
The fact that both men secure their
right to name the committees without
the preliminary and customary fight for
place makes II certain that they will
