EAGER BOOKIES CAUGHT

Prices are generally posted IN the first
race at the various tracks somewhere
In the neighborhood of 1.s0 o'clock.

School Teachers Scarce,

Des Moines, April 1O.-According to
Superintendent Riggs there never
was time when school teachers were
as scarce in the state as at the pres
ent time. He is daily receiving. re-
quests that cannot be supplied THE
vacancies are as much in the high sal
aried positions as in the lower
grades" said Professor Riggs. "Esth-
erville, Oskaloosa, Denison, Corning.
Mason City. Mount Pleasant and 9TH
er large places are looking for super
intendents and are unable thus far
to find men of sufficient ability to fill
the positions. The schools now are
demanding more proficient grade
OF teachers than few years ago.
This, for one thing, accounts for the
shortage"

formerly Rojestvensky's chief tao

Admiral Avellan, head of the Russian
admiralty department, has failed to
take place, Captain Clado having salts
fled himself by investigation that he
had wrongly accused Captain Zilotti
of responsibility for the publication of
letter from Vice Admiral Rojest-

Captain Clado has offered the amplest
apology, completing the retraction by
publishing his letter of apology in all
the papers printing the first structures.

alleged tampering with witness
