For Teachers state Certificates.
To overcome the objections Of members
Of the legislature to the single state GER
tiicate for teachers, those back Of the
measure have drawn the bill without any
appropriation to put the law into effect,
but have provided that 30 cents of the 81
fee which the teachers pay when they take
an examination for a certificate shall be
paid to the state superintendents office.
There are about 10000 examinations a year
and the income would thus be $4,000. The
bill before the last Legislature appropriated
$4,000 to pay to carry out the provisions of
the bill The dollar fee paid by teachers
taking the county examination is used
toward the expenses Of the county inst
tute. The state gives $50 to each county in
stitute and they last from one to three
weeks. 1t pays $3.50 to every county fair
which lasts one week and SIS TO each farm
ers institute which lasts one to three days.
To make up for the loss to the county in
stitute for taking half the fee 1T is pro-
posed to increase the appropriation to
county Institutes to $3.50. AS there are
ninety-nine counties, this would amount to
the SIS. GO taken in the fees. 1t is believed
that with that arrangement the law for
state certificates for teachers will, how
ever. be more likely to pass.
Barring COnsumptives.
DR. ]. +. Kennedy. secretary of the State
Board Of Health, today stated that the rule
OF the board barring those afflicted with
tuberculosis from the public schools would
not be drafted and put into effect till after
another meeting of the board. The board
appointed committee to draw up the rule,
but it must be submitted to the board be-
fore finally put into effect
state University Favorable.
There is rumor that the State univer-
sity will be favorable to the idea of a large
unsalaried board of control for state in
stitutions though the State Agricultural
college will be opposed to it. 1t is claimed
that the reason of this will be that the
large board will naturally be composed Of
doctors and lawyers and men of education,
] who will devote their greatest attention to
the State university and neglect the state
I college. As the legislature is largely made
up of farmers. considerable Of the oppos-
/ ton to the bill will arise, Il is expected,
, from that condition.
! Candidates for COmmissIOner.
! According to reports in political centers
] there are now seven candidates for railroad
/ commissioner. As a result of the change to
the biennial system of elections there will
| be two commissioners elected next year to

Uniforms for Officers.
Adjutant General w. H. Thrift has re-
ceived copy of the bill which will be in
| troduced I'm congress this winter increasing
the, appropriation for the guard to $4,000
coo, instead of 100000. This would make
the Iowa appropriation $4,000 instead OF
$4,000. General Thrift is anxious that the
bill should pass. and II it does will advo-

funds, as the uniforms for privates are nov
| purchased. 1t is claimed that a captains
