CENTIPEDES FOUND
IN BENNING PUMP
Principal of School Makes
This Complaint.
THRIVE IN AN OLD WELL
Health of the Pupils Menaced-Return
Of Warm Weather
Feared.

The principal of the Benning school
has reported to the Health Department
that the well supplying water for the
school has a wooden pump stock which
introduces into the water 'centipedes of
no mean dimensions and a great guam
tity of small ones"
The Health Department has recon-
merded TO the Board OF Education that
new pump be put in the well, but, as
far as can be ascertained, no such ac-
tion has yet been taken.
The question is. how long will the
children OF the Benning school have TO
thrive on centipedes? The Health De
partment says new pump should be
provided, and this is corrobora. ed by
the principal of the school and by u
physician.
Pupils Health Menaced.
The argument has not yet been ad-
vanced that it would be cruelty to wild
animals 10 exterminate the centipedes,
although to commit such slaughter
would certainly help the children as
well as be conducive 10 the comfort
Of the teacher.
The complaint about the matter, first
made By the school principal, has been
! before the Board of Education, The
Health Department. and the Board of
District Commissioners. Everyone seems
satisfied that the pump should be re-
| placed by a new and better one.
The principal of the school says il IS
about time that the children be deliV-
/ 1t is up to the Board of Education, espe-
| cially, as the complainant says, the ami
/ mails are more numerous in warm
weather than In cold.

Gratis are making determined fight.
For mayor on the citizens ticket is Mr..

Berg has been mayor for three terms

Archbishop Keane. The cry of the
democrats, who have named j. j. Sher-
idan, business man and favorite of
the archbishop, is reform" The fight
against Berg is on city immortality and
his alleged unfriendliness to unionism.
He has been assailed for permitting
houses of ill-fame to run wide open.
His wide-open policy has met with the
opposition of The church folk and they
are leading the fight against him.
The sentiment Is strongly in favor Of
Berg, altho All undercurrent is evident

husbandry department of the Alabama
State College, located at Auburn, Ala.
This ds an excellent position and was
much sought for by graduates of other

more than thirty applicants.
Mr.. Rev graduated in the class OF
1902 and since then has been pursuing
post graduate work in the animal hus-
bandry department. He had direct
charge of the mammoth cattle feeding
experiment. station at Odebolt and car

Interesting Incident II House
Regarding Dipsomania Asy-
lum Appropriation
SPEAKER CLARKE is SUSTAINED
Gets the House to Agree With Him and
Record Is Made Risht-Has Made
Rulings on a Number of Very Close
ouestions-Bills Before the LesisIa-
ture.
pecial to Times Republican.

=
Des Moines, April l.--Students OF
parliamentary practice would have
been delighted with little incident
which occurred in the house yesterday
illustrating how easy it is to go wrong
In the proceedings of a house. The
bill appropriating $12b,000 for the
Knoxville djpsomania asylum had
passed the house and n motion to re-
consider was filed. 1t was called up
and while pending Mr.. Chassell moved
to lay the motion on the table. 1t was
carried with a whoop and the house
went on With it's work. The natural
course would have been for the bill to
be Immediately messaged over to the
senate for enrolment and the sigma
lures of the proper state officials; but
Speaker Clarke Immediately ordered
the clerk to hold the bill. Mr.. Chassell
was notified what had been done and as
ex-Speaker Byers was in the room he
was consulted and so also was Mr..
Temple and other leaders. and they
practically agreed the speaker was
wrong and that he had no right to hold
the bill. But at the noon hour a con-
ference was held and Cushing's manual
was consulted, with the result that IN
the afternoon the motion to recon-
slider was taken from the table and
then formally voted down. Mr.. Temple
presented the reasons therefor in
concise statement.
II was not willing said Speaker
Clarke, ito permit the bill to go to the
governor for his signature with mo-
ton to reconsider pending and lying
on the table of the house. Suppose
some person committed to the Knox
vile institution should refuse to go and
was never legally established and
should show up the record that 1t left
the house with a motion to reconsider
pending-where would / be with such
a record? Or suppose. after the
governor had signed the bill, some
member should choose to have the mo-
ton taken from the table and then Sc
cure reconslderation-tha would again
produce complication.
But it was pointed out that in previ
Gus legislatures the course followed OF
laying a motion to reconsider on the
table and treating 1t as disposition of
the motion had been followed. Speaker
Clarke was obstinate and got the house
to agree with him and the record was
made right. But a blunder might cas-
lily have been made.
Speaker Clarke has had occasion to
make rulings on a number of very close
questions and in every instance he has
been sustained by the members of the
house.

interesting and important facts. On
the one hand is plea for consideration
for the manufacturing interests of the
town in assessing and taxing their
notes and securities, the value of which
it is asserted by the writer can not be
determined. The opposition ridicules
this idea and claims that the wealthy
manufacturer may hide behind such an
argument as that and escape large
part of the taxation he ought justly to
bear. To an unprejudiced outsider 1t
looks like an effort to instruct the new
council regarding an important case al

near future.
