RESTRICTION OF CIGARETTES


London. Feb. 13.-There appears to be
good reason to hope that some effective
means will be taken before long, in Eng
land at all events. to put some restrictions
upon the smoking of cigarettes by chill
dren If once the example is set, it is GER
tain to be followed elsewhere. There can
be no question that the evil is a serious
one and very difficult to deal with. This
is the reason. probably, why the signers
of the remarkable manifesto on the sub
ject. which has just been published in
London, do not attempt to tell how it
may be stopped or remedied, but content
themselves with saying that something
ought TO be done at once. 1t is always
easy to get signatures of a sort to any
thing in the shape of a petition; but
the names appended to the English mani
festo are those of men of the highest in
tellectuaI and moral rank, and mean

Want Farming Taught in Public
Schools.

Farming should be taught in the
public schools Of Iowa according to the
opinion of nearly two-score county sup
erintendents, representing the central
and northwest Iowa districts who are
holding convention at the office Of
Superintendent Riggs at the state house
today.
Those laws passed by the recent leg
islature and those that were defeated
were discussed pro and con by the
teachers. Among the latter was one re-
quiring the teaching Of agriculture in
elementary form in the public school.
2. G. Thornburg, superintendent of Polk
county, read an interesting paper in
which he earnestly advocated an elabor-
alton Of the present system Of mature
study" that is practical in all schools SO
that it will virtually amount to teaching
the elements Of agriculture. Without an
exception all the superintendent en-
dorsed his view.
Among the new laws that were cor
daily endorsed was that increasing the
period of compulsory attendance in pub
! lie schools to six months year. The
juvenile court law and that which pre-
vents the posting of obiectional adver-
| Using in the vicinity of the school house
was also approved.
| One of the bills that was defeated
which caused much regret to the teach
ers was that which provided that the
examination papers prepared at the Of
fee of any county superintendent should
be submitted to the state board of edu-
cational examiners for marking so as tc
enable the issuance Of state certificate
that will be good in any county Of the
state instead of certificate good only
in the county in which the examination
| is taken.
Todays meeting is the last of series
that has been held in the five districts
Of the state. 1t was called by the state
superintendent, who is authorized by !;
recent statute to call the various super
intendents together at any designated
point, their expenses to be borne b,
their respective counties.-Des Nome

Alex Brown, the oil prospector refer
red to in these columns, was in town
over Tuesday night. Our people inter-
ested in the matter have been taking
leases on lands adjacent to town and
now have some 1000 or more acres
under lease. They also agree to give
Mr.. Brown small donation to induce
him to begin his prospecting here. The
terms were satisfactory to him and we
understand that he will leave for the
east in few days and return with his
drilling apparatus and expert drillers
to this city without the loss of time,
and therefore we expect to see the work
begun within month or so. Our peo-

Mt. Ayr Worked up over Prospects
for Electric Railroad.

Mt. Ayr came little closer than ever
before to an electric railway this morn
ing when Wallace Hubbard, the electric
railway promoter from Albany, Mo-, in
terviewed several of the leading bust
ness men on the situation. Mr.. Hub
bard was accompanied by G. f. Terhune,
a civil engineer from Maryville. When
Messrs Hubbard and Terhune left Mt.
Ayr for Tingley this forenoon they were
accompanied by L. G. Bevis, who is tax
ing great interest in the project, and
who went to point out to the Missouri
men the lay of the land between Mt.
Ayr and Tingley.
The proposed road is to run from st.
Joseph to Des Moines, the towns that
are likely to be on the route being Al
bany, Denver, Allendale, Mt. Ayr,
Tingley, Creston, Macksburg, and Win
terset. However, the intention is not
to make a special effort to strike towns
unless they afford good connections, as
the electric railway plan is to stop any
where in the country to pick up passen-
gers or freight.
Contrary to the usual superstition, the
route below Mt. Ayr as it now is in
mind does not run southwest from here
through Rice and Middle Fork town
ships, but makes considerable detou1
to follow the course Of Grard River
through Poe and Lofts Creek. Going
north from Mt. Ayr, the idea is to fol

Nided between two great political parties
the Irish Catholic vote, which formerly
was almost solidly Democratic. The
Democratic party was web served by the
Know Nothing craze which swept the
country for a very brief period fifty years
ago. This drove the foregn-born voters,
the great majority of whom at that time
were Irish Catholics, into the Democratic
party because it was opposed 10 the

They have gained wealth. They have
