Two well-known educators are racing
to Minneapolis as fast as the steamcars
will carry them to secure the position
of supervisor of intermediate and gram

ly vacated by S. L. Heeter.
Only one will get the place, and each

a special meeting Of the board Of edu-

All that can be learned today is that
one is from Michigan and the other
from Canada.
There have been many more appli-
cants for the vacant place. The board
has been showered with applications,
but the choice has narrowed down to
these two.
A meeting of the board of education

The scheme includes the reorganiza

is innocent. He told the police that
he left the house in Second street at
Z pm. last night and went to Bowery

According to the new law, the roads

also what items go to making up this
cost. From tomorrow on there can be
no extras" but the shipper is expected
to be able to obtain in advance a final
statement Of the charge he has to meet.
1t was stated that not single COM
panv has been able to fully comply

ing them to have all their schedules on

switching charges was the most diff

ALL OFFICIALS OF
A TOWN RESIGN
How the New Antipass Law AT
fects Public Life at West
Burlington.
Special to The Journal.

Special to The Journal.
Burlington, Iowa, Aug. 28.-As re-
suit of the new anti-pass law it is prob
able that all city officials Of West Bur-
lington: will resign. ,-
The community is made up practically
Of railroad men. All Of the city Off
Gals are employed by the Burlington
company and as such are entitled UNI
der the law to the use Of passes, but
as city officials they are prohibited
from riding on free transportation. AS
city officials they receive from $40 to
$25 year for their services, and they
hold that passes are of more value to
them than city Offices.
With West Burlington populated al
most solidly by railroad men, there will
be few, if any, citizens from whom the
new city officials could be chosen to
fill the vacant places, as no railroad
employee would care to accept place
under the Iowa law.
