considered his determination to resign
from that position when his term ex-

gins and for the next two years will
continue to preside over the depart
ment he has held since it was estab-
lished in 1890.
Mr.. Sage's determination to stick to
his work was reached when he was in
formed that the board of agriculture
had recommended his reappointment
to the governor There. were other
candidates but all were conditional
upon his expected resignation.
"My health is first rate, SO that the
chief reason for my expected retire
ment is eradicated," said Mr.. Sage

DlseUsTED WITH AMERICA.
American, Who Was Arrested fol
BEATING Wife, Leaves Iowa City.

Iowa City, Dec. 26-Very much dis
gusted with his three months life in
the United States, and very fearful Of
the customs which he could not under
stand, Cessna Tokolien, a full blooded
Armenian, whose wife is member
of the freshman dental class in the
State University of Iowa, has. been
started back to the Orient on funds
Of his wife's class.
The couple came to Iowa City from
New York in the fall and Mrs Tokat-
lien entered the college of dentistry.
Tokatlien had been a dentist in Arme-
mia, but since leaving there had lost
the use of his hands on account of
rheumatism The couple had several
hundred dollars between them, which
they believed would be sufficient to
pay their. expenses here for the three
years. After a few months spent in
the city, however, they were practically
destitute and the women's clubs of the
city supported them. Tokalien con-
tinued to beat his wife in true Oriental
fashion after arriving here, but when
the club women of the city understood
the situation they promptly informed
his wife that such proceedings were
not customary in America and the re-
suit was that Tokatlien was brought
before local justice court and fined
$500. In default of payment he was
sent to the county Jail.
At this point the president of the
freshman dental class, F. d. Carney,
took the matter in hand and secured
his release upon the promise that he
would leave the country. Enough
money was raised by subscription to
send him to Boston, where he declared
he could secure passage to Europe.
