THE BREAKWATER BONDS
Two.tIlirds Of Them Will Be Placed
al Galveston.
SCHOOL FUND MAY TAKE REMAINDER
They Are to 30 County Bonds and Pre-
sent a Coed lnVestment---News
from Galveston.

Galveston, Texas. February i3.-The bond
committee secured subscriptions today for
sa2. 400 of the proposed breakwatcr bond
issue. This makes the total received by
the committee up TO the present time $780,
Gee in addition to the large subscriptions,
which amount to about 100000. 1t appears
now that the committee viii he able to
place si.O0ooOo OF the proposed issue OF
Sl,Soo.OoO In the city. It may then seek
outside assistance IN placing the remaining
100000
II has been suggested that the school
fund could not be better invested than IN
the breakwatcr bonds, and 1t is therefore
not beyond the range Of possibilities that
the remaining $500 600 will I've taken by
the board of education. The bonds, as has
been previously reported bear interest at
the rate Of per cent, payable semi-annual-
ly aud will run for forty years. With two.
thirds OF the bonds placed in the city it
seems that there could he little doubt as
u whether or not the Galveston people con
.ider them safe. Then again the people
here have shown an evidence Of their will
ingucss 10 help themselves when they nave
taken ST 100000 of the issue and u Is ar

Tho schoo! fpnd has been invested In
bonds Of other counties and 1t is believed
that the Galveston county breahwateI
bonds offer as good icld fof investment as
the bonds OF other counties.

Both Sides Are Estimating What
Effect a Strike Would
Have.
Special to Times.Republican.


Des Moines, March 21.-At the close
OF today's conference between the min
ers and operators of Iowa, the operat-
ors departed for their respective
homes, necessitating an adjournment
of the joint conference until Monday.
While minor details are being rapidly
adjusted, both sides apparently recog-
nize that each discussion on the shot
firing question operates to separate
them more wildly than ever and each
side has begun to estimate the effect OF
the prospective strike.
In case of strike work VIII PROB
ably be suspended not only the second
and third districts, where powder IS
used, but also in the first and fourth.
This would tie up practically all OF the
mines in the state. The operators IN
the second district say, however. they
have few orders for the summer and
would suffer less than the miners In
event of a strike. Putnam county. Mis-

GOOD TEACHERS SCARCE.

Can Not Secure Them.

County Superintendent Moore In Plight
Can Not Secure Them.
Waterloo, March 21.-County Super
intendent Moore is In sad plight as
the result of his inability to secure
teachers which he can recommend to
the various directors. Just as soon as
the director finds that he is liable to
have some difficulty In securing COM
petent teacher he appeals to Mr.. Moore.
Mr.. Moore states that he can secure
enough teachers to fill the schools. but
the directors are beginning to discrim-
mate more closely between the capabil-
tiles of the teachers. Mr.. Moore states
that the majority of requests that
come to him are accompanied by the
advice that they would rather have a
country school graduate than one from
the city schools II beginning teacher
Is selected for them. This is not be-
cause they are partial to the country
girls but because they make better
teachers. They are thoroughly ac-
quainted with the country school while
the city girl or high school graduate
has been accustomed to all the conyen-
fences of the city schools and do not
give the best satisfaction. Mr.. Moore
states that he has now more applica-
tons for teachers whom he can recon-
mend than he has any idea that he will
be able to secure.

The drill passed thru slate before II
struck the vein OF coal. Samples have
been exhibited at Sumner and from all
appearances it is of good quality. of the
soft coal variety. The recent discovery
of oil with few miles of Republic is
believed to indicate that marketable
coal in paying quantities underlies the
farms in that community. Farmers
and town people are excited over lne
find and visions of big coal mines In
operation are already seen and dis
cussed by the idlers about the country
stores. Not q foot of ground can be
bought now from the holders OF the
lands in the vicinity, all being held
