the late Dwight l.. Moody, the famous
singing evangelist. had become blind
but as that time there were slight
hopes that his oyesight might be res
torcd
\ fact which adds to the pathos Of
the case Of the famous evangelist and
hymn writer Is that Mr.. Sankey him
self does not fully realize the serious
ness OF his condition and believes his
afllction to be only temporary. He
does not even wish his friends to know
of his condition and his relatives have
kept from his knowledge the fact that
his many admirers throughout the
world know that he is blind.
Mr.. Sankey is now sixty-four years
old. He has ben engaged In evange-
listic work since 1874. In that year he
met Dwight L. Moody at the convention
of the Y. NJ. G. A. at Indianapolis and
several months later became asso-
ciated with him in the work which
made both evangelists famous.

To Whom It May Concern:

We the undersigned Manufacturers
of Carbonated Beverages have formed
an Association for the mutual protec-
ton of our property, viz: bottles and
cases, the loss of which during the
year last past has been enormous, in
fact to such an extent that we have not
been able to pay more than running eX-
penses.
AS matter of business, We will, on
the 1st day of July, 1903, inaugurate a
system whereby a strict account of bot
ties delivered to and received from each
dealer in Carbonated Beverages will be
kept, and at the end of each month or
as soon as possible thereafter our au-
thorized agent will balance each bottle
account and should there be a shortage
he will collect for such deficit at the
rate of Five Cents per bottle; we re-
spectfully request each dealer in Car
donated Beverages commonly called
Soda Water" to cooperate with us to
the extent of requiring a deposit OF
Five Cents per bottle where said bot
ties are taken away from their place
of business.
We shall on the above date discon'
tinue the practice which has been il
vogue for some time of giving any
extra bottles" on each dozen and any
discount on our prices which will bt
net. The increase in the cost of ma
terial and the loss of bottles has forced
us to make this change in our business
methods.
We thank our patrons for their sup
port in the past and solicit a continu
ance of the same under the new con
ditions.

can count on the peace that comes
only to the just man armed, to the
just man who neither fears nor inflicts

formidable ships, with an ample sup

HAS SALARY LIMIT.
President seerley Won't Furnish
Teachers at Less Than $4,000.


Teachers at Less Than $4,000.
Cedar Falls, May 15.-Pres. Seerley
Of the Iowa State Normal purposes
issuing pamphlet in the near future,
which will contain some facts with
reference to teachers salaries that
will make the people Of the state open
their eyes
The state normal school is constant
Ely called upon to supply the city
schools of the state with teachers.
This year, for instance, the size of the
graduating class will be considerably
reduced on account of the great de-
mand for normal teachers and the
large number of students who have
consented to enter school work with
the exception of completing their
course during the summer months of
next year.
1t is not generally known that the
states normal authorities make no eff.
fort to supply teachers where the sal
airy offered is less than $40 a month.
Even when this salary is offered to q
beginning teacher the normal instruc-
tors do not advise any of the students
to accept unless there is prospect
Of an increase the second year.
President Seerley mas been conduct
ing series of Investigations as to the
salaries paid teachers, and he finds
that the conditions are even worse
than is generally supposed. 1t is the
fashion 10 believe that the low sala-
ries are confined to the country dist
riots. This is not the case by any
means. He recently took census Of
113 teachers employed in good towns
of the state, and all having normal
education. Their work in the schools
ranged from one to ten years, but most
of them had been teaching for several
years. He found that the average of
the salaries paid was less than $4,000
and the majority Of them were not re-
ceiving this amount.
He has also collected statistics from
several towns as to the amount that
the teachers have been able to save
from their earnings. He found that
the average in one town where a large
number of teachers were employed
and where better than the average sal
aries were paid, was about $4,000 a
year. The fact that a teacher spends
the entire year at hard work and is
able to save practically nothing from
her salary is not calculated to encour-
age her to greater effort, especially
when she sees all of her associates
in the same position, with respect to
savings.

= Al ' vi L.
Des Moinss, May 1.-THE Iowa pa-
role law or System received severe
jolt yesterday ct Anamosa. and there
will be some revision Of the rules un.
less the supreme court backs up the
| governor,
B. w. Garrett, parole secretary for
Gov. Cummins, received dispatch
from Anamosa announcing that the
district court had ordered released
from custody Frank Davis, . convict
serving time In the state penitentiary
there. Habeas corpus proceedings
were brought before Judge Miller at
Anamosa to secure the release of Da-
Wis. He has been serving q seventeen
year sentence from Clinton county for
murder, and was paroled about two
months before he would have been re-
leased He was good prisoner and
earned all the good time" possible,
amounting to nearly seven years. He
was returned upon violation of this
parole. AZ Is customary in such cases
the good time deduction previously
made was cancelled. In fact this was
one Of the conditions to which he sub.
scribed when he accepted the parole
and It is q clause in every parole agree
ment. Under this plan he would have
to serve nearly seven years instead of
the two months which would have re-
leased him II he had not accepted the
parole agreement. Now the court has
declared that the good time earned
previously to the parole must stand
to his credit and SO standing he is
entitled to release now that he has
served the two OF the three months
which remained of his abbreviated
term In the penitentiary
The suit was brought by Attorney
Tom Minor, and as Attorney General
Mullan could not 60 to Anamosa to
defend the state the defense was en-
trusted to Senator Ellison. An appeal
will be Immediately taken to the gu.
preme court, as the question is one
the supreme court has never passed
on. II the decision is allowed to stand,
1t will necessitate revision of the
parole system in. vogue in Iowa, which
is somewhat irregular and without
special warrant Of law. It is expected
that others who are in the same fix
as was Davis will be asking for release
on the same grounds. In every case
where convicts have been returned for
violation Of their paroles they have
been required to lose their previously
earned credit for good conduct If
they are to be allowed this credit the
governors will De much slower to
grant paroles near the end of sen.
