MORE TEACHERS COMING IN
Enrolment at the County Institute
Expected to Reach a Total
of Three Hundred.

The enrolment at the county institute
yesterday passed the $50 mark and 1t is
expected that by Monday 1t will exceed that
Of last year, when 300 teachers we're in
attendance.
A feature Of yesterday mornings session
was the address by County Superintendent
McManus, in which he outlined and dis
cussed the work Of the State Teachers
Reading circles. He took the opportunity
to advocate two changes in the present
educational system OF the state. one
whereby teachers desiring to remove ia
another county could take their examlna-
tions In the county in which they resided,
instead of being compelled to do so before
the superintendent Of the county to which
they desired to 90. The other change sug-
gested was In the time Of holding the
county institute. Prof. MeManus advocated
the holding OF the Institute In September
when the schools are In session, and that
teachers be permitted to attend II without
loss OF compensation. He said the insti-
tute was maintained by the fees for certih-
Gates, and since IL was conducted for tbs
good Of the public, he saw no reason WHY
the teachers should be compelled to pay
for II. He said he saw no valid reason why
the Institute should not be held in Sep
TENDER, when the teacher could go from thu
schoolroom full Of inspiration and en-
thusiasm.
Rev. James Thomson, pastor Of the FRS
Congregational church, conducted the open
ing devotional exercises.

The pupils Of st. Peters parochial school
celebrated the close OF the school year last
night with a most pleasing entertainment
at the Dohany opera house and we're
greeted by an audience which filled the

The opening number was a cantata in two
scenes entitled 1.-The May Queen" pre-
scented by the girls Of the school, who were
very daintily costumed and presented an
exceedingly pretty picture. The boys pre-
scented "old Glory, or the Boys Of re-" a
patriotic operetta In two acts, which re-
ceived liberal and we'll deserved applause.
This was followed by The Violet Sellers

In Iowa Politics.
Colonel M. L. Temple Of Clarke county

ness. He was one Of the disappointed men
after the caucus OF the Iowa congressional
delegation on federal appointments. He will
not state whether he really anticipated be-
ing successful in his candidacy, but inti-
mated that he had known for some time
what action the delegation intended TAX,
Ing. He does not believe the endorse
ments OF the delegation, will be turned
down by President Roosevelt, or that the
holding UP OF the nominations has any po-
litical significance. He thinks the presi-
dent leans on Secretary Shaw as to the
situation in Iowa more than he does on
the congressman from this state. At the
same time he believes that Shaw will APP
prove the action OF the delegation rather
than consider Governor Cummins' endorse
ment Of Kemble for revenue collector.
