Promotions Are in Store for Several in
the Army.
The latest army roster, copies of
which have Just been received by mill
tary men in the city, reveals the fact
that several Iowa soldiers are getting
well to the front in their respective de-
partments. William l.. Alexander, for
merly of Des Moines, and for many
years adjutant general of the state of
Iowa, is now second in the list of
lieutenant colonies in the commissary
department SO that it is reasonably
certain that he will very soon become a
colonel. Those above him are nearly
ready for retirement and he may even
become cemmissary general in few
years Major John A. Hull, son of
Congressman John T. Hun, is high in
the list OF majors in the department of
the Judge advocate general, only two
majors being ahead OF him. He will
probably become a Northumberland
next year, and it is certain that If he
keeps his health he will easily become
judge advocate general. Frank Lin
coin, son of General Lincoln OF Ames,
is thirteenth in the list OF first lieuten-
ants in the artillery service, so he is
pretty sure to be moved up to the rank
of captain next year.

1t has been learned in guard circles
in this city that Adjutant General By
ers of Iowa has received from the
war department an outline of an order
that will soon be issued respecting
small-arms firing regulations for the
use of the organized militia. AS soon
as the new rifles are received from
the war department the adjutant gen
eral will issue an order to correspond
with tbs. The classes of officers and
soldiers who take range practice will
be much the same as those now pro-
vided for by the orders OF the adju-
tant general of this state. The i'm
Dortant feature of the new order is
the paragraph which provides that I'M
der the new Dick bill there will be
two classes of competition, state and
national. State competitions, if prac-
ticable, will be held annually. The
national competition, which will be
held each year. will be at such place

CentervilIe Hack Driver Comes
Grief in OttumWa,


William Ramsey of Centerville, who
drives hack in that city is in Jail in
this city, charged with intoxication, but
he has a grievance. Ramsey says that
he came to town for a short time and
last evening about s o'clock was on his
way to one of the depots to take a
train for keokuk. He says that while
he was walking along he does not rec
object just where, someoe struck him
upon the head, knocking him down
and inflicting scalp woundetoahrta
and inflicting a cut in the scalp. He
called loudly for a policeman, and Of
ficer AXel Nelson, who guards the
peace and quiet of Smoky Row, found
Ramsey on his beat. not far from the
Milwaukee depot. The man was tax
en- to Jail and charge of intoxication
preferred. This morning he told Judge

having only had one or two drinks. He
was held without sentence until the
night policeman can state the condi-
lions as he knows them.

End, was arrested last night on the

it, the evidence against him was con.
sidered by Judge Moon to be strong
enough to warrant his sentencing him
to fifteen days in the city Jail. John
Willard, who is working on railroad
construction gang at Blakesburg, was
arrested for intOXication Saturday
night, but Judge Moon released him
this morning and sent him back tc
work. Albert Smith and William

from a different standpoint He must lay
the work out full size, correct figures, get
bevels, find radius, develop moulds, etc.
Perhaps he has discovered an error that
no one need know about, and II he can
carry on the work without its being dis
covered. 1t will make no material differ
ence. SO he begins his studies, he starts
in where he did when he was a boy-his
first lesson In geometry, straight line.
What Is a straight lineQ He knows the
answer yet Even now he does not know
the Importance Of this simple knowledge,
but it soon comes to him and he Is thun
derstruck, almost paralyzed. He made a.
mistake He discovered that In the work
already done; but now after days Of worry
and nights of study he discovered the
cause-his base line was not straight to
start with. He knows now that he was
too fast IN drawing it. How did he draw
his perpendicular? Not geometrically.
No, he used "a steel square. How did he
find his center? Why, he measured the
distance with a mechanics rule and went
back half way. Well that was right from
an artisans standpoint, but not from a
mechanical point Of view. He made a
discovery that saved his reputation as a
mechanic and he will not be caught max

1T Is a we'll established fact that the

graduated out of the highest class, where
would we get our industrial classes?
Under these circumstances it is only

an industrial education be improved,
| Now, as to our chance In this world

begins when we are obliged to earn our

or ten hours a day, just the same as a
journeyman does The only difference is
that he has finished his education and re-
ceives salary, whereas the apprentice
is just beginning his and gets nothing
or perhaps a little pin money to encour-
age him. His educational course varies
from three to seven years, according tt
age and disposition Of apprentice and CIR
cumstances Of his surroundings. All th1:
time he is paying for his education b!
his labor, and If he can afford to wea

TECHNICS OF TRADE
Argument for Better Opportunities
for Technical Education of
the Mechanic,
Views of Late Michael Holscher a
Man Who Overcame the
Lack. ..

Technical education for mechanics is a
subject that Is commanding more and
more attention among those interested
In the lettering Of conditions among men
who labor with their hands. Martin +.
McHale who represented Minnesota as
her labor commissioner at the Milwaukee
meeting of the National Association of
Bureaus of Labor Statistics In 1900,
voiced the need Of such technical educa-
ton. He urged that more be done to
secure 1t for the laboring men, basing his
demand upon his own experience as a
mechanic and upon his observations as
a labor commissioner. Mr.. McHale's po-
sition was approved by all In the conven-
ton and many outside. .--
Among those outside was Michael j.
Holscher, formerly Of Minneapolis, who
was killed In street car accident In st.
Louis early in September. Mr.. Holscher
was a stone cutter. but had acquired
more than the average technical educa-
tion of men In his trade. He had felt
the same need that Mr.. McTIale had ex-
pressed and had satisfied It, but at great
sacrifice of time which might have been
saved by we'll directed technical studies
when he was just beginning TO learn his
trade. Mr.. Holscher, at Mr. McHale's
request. expressed his views on the mat
ter OF technical education in part as fol-
lows:

thoroly competent to cope with the vari

Another movement on foot is that OF
placing at least two members of the ex-
ecutive council upon salary basis. In
support of this plan 1t is claimed that
jurisdictional difficulties such as occur
