DIES MONIES Dec. 26.-(Special.) AS ex-
pressed at the meeting of the educational
council of the State Teachers association
today there should be more normal train
ing and more normal schools in Iowa, more
high school work, state aid for public edu-
cation and better enforcement of the COM
pulsory education law. The educational
council is composed Of a selected inner
circle of higher educators, who are elected
to the council for special and closer study
OF important topics. Two committees from
the council reported today on the topics
Special State Aid" and "A Comparison OF
the Educational System of Iowa With
Those of New York, Massachusetts. Wash
ington and Colorado" The committee on
special aid reported in favor Of the state
aiding high schools and providing that
children and corporation not having high
schools should be allowed to attend high
schools OF adjoining corporations fres Of
tuition, up to che amount OF state aid,
and beyond that should be paid by the
corporations from which they attend; that
a graduated, elastic course sEpuid be pro-
vided for high schools under the approval
/ of the state superintendent; that Iowa
should give more recognition TO normal
/ training and should have four additional
normal training schools for rural teachers.
The committee on a comparison of Iowa
with other states found all to the disad-
vantage OF Iowa. II was found that Iowa
| is behind in the amount of state aid; that
the taxes and mileage levies are lower;
that the wages paid teachers are lower and
the normal schools less.

New Kind of Corn.

After experimenting for several
years in propagating a variety of corn
suitable to this climate John Berk-
stresser, a pioneer farmer of Gar
field. Washington, is said to have
perfected hybrid corn that Is prov
ing a wonder for the farmers of
this section. He has now several
acres that will go forty bushels
to the acre. The corn is now ripe
and ready to cut, states one report.
1t is white variety, the ears being
eight inches long and we'll filled and
each ear having twelve rows of kerr
nails. From three to four stalks
grow from each kernal planted and
in every instance each one of the
stalks bears good sized ear of corn.
In perfecting this hybrid, Mr.. Berk-
stresser used five distinct varieties
of corn, using the Early Sweet as the
base.-Spokane Chronicle.

Wallace dispatches say: Steve
Adams must appear before the dis
trict judge to stand trial for murder
in the first degree for the killing of
Fred Tyler, the Marble Creek home
S!eader.
He was bound over Saturday morn
ing at the conclusion OF the hardest
fought preliminary hearing Wallace
has ever seen. The case came to an
abrupt termination upon the conclu-
sion of the crosS-examination of De-
tectiVe s. c. Thiele. who was on the
witness stand only about half an hour
Saturday
Newton Glover, with Alva Mason,
eqally guilty with Adams in the Ty-
Ter murder, according to Adams CON
tession, are still at large in Wallace.
The prosecuting attorney said he
had no evidence against these men
hat will stand the law, although they
are guilty with Adams, Detective
Thiele told the court that he (Ad-
ams), Jack Simpkins and third per-
son fired the shots that killed Ed.

Adams is in Jail here and will be
kept in close confinement until his
trial, probably about October 25.

The speech of Senator w. B. Hey
burn at Boise last Friday evening
was clean-cut declaration of the be-
liefs of big and fearless American.
Those who doubt the splendid pur-
pose of w. B. Hepburn are not those
who have heard him plead for the
principles which he advocates. Never
a man to cater to public approval or
shrink from public criticism, he has
gained a place in the U. S. Senate
which has been attained by few West
ern men.
1t was this fearlessness that enabl-
ed him to meet the thrusts of Spooner
and Knox, and Bailey and Bacon and
finally secure the passage of the Pure
Food Bill.

Caldwell Reforms.
Editor Tribune:

editor Tribune:
1t is, perhaps. all right to MAX
the Western town of CalAwcll--th
inhabitants of which nre accustom
ed to western ways-a closed
town on Sundays, thereby entailing
financial loss TO this little city of
at least thousand dollars every
time it occurs. A bombardment of
craps shot and canister could be
fired for four hours any Sunday at
out injuring single living thing,
unless it be one of Ralp Sebrees
escaped roosters.
Talk of Goldsmith's Deserted
Village!" Had that poet seen Cald-
well of a Sunday, how much better
he could have writen
The present condition may suit the
ultra-religious, and probably does.
1t is also mama and wild locusts
to the probitionist, and especially to
the emasculated sort who never did
anything wrong in their lives, Oh,
it Is to make one tired.
Other Mayors than Mayor Mad
den, and Mayors of far greater cit
les than Caldwell. have grappled
with this proposition, and also with
the so-called social evil" Other
"blue-stockIng" city councils, have
undertaken the task of telling a man
what he shall do and when he shall
do it, and how much of it he shall do.
Invariably ii has been a failure from
Maine to Kansas, for a man will do
pretty near what he pleases, keeping
within the limits OF the law.
But here is the whole pith of
the thing. Would ii not be better
if Mayor Madden and the Council
devoted more time to the wretched,
disgraceful, dangerous, sidewalks of
this city, and less TO political fat
uency and the inane desire to pose
as political reformers of high
grade? The sidewalks in much of
the residence district OF the town
were laid IL and IA years ago. They
have never been repaired. The foot
bridge across Indian Creek Is unsafe
and disgrace to the Caldwell of
90 years ago.
A mayor who wasn't so desperate
~ anxious to speedily reform the
morals OF his constituency, might
take the time to improve its ply
steal conditions.

Emmett, Idaho, Oct. s, 1906
Especial to The Tribune THE twen-
tieth annual convention of the w. c.
T. u. met in this city Tuesday and
Wednesday in the Baptist church.
Mrs. Alkaline A. Garlock of Twin
Falls, president of the Union, pre-
sided. The program Tuesday morn
ing was very interesting. An able
and appropriate address of welcome
was delivered Tuesday evening by
Mayor E. X. Hayes. Mayor Hayes
spoke at length on the noble work
the w. c. T. U. was engaged in, and
the great good they were doing.
In pleasing manner he welcomed the
ladies to Emmett. Rev. E. J. Dean
and Miss Lenna Judd also spoke.
Miss Judd's address was very inter-
esting and we'll received. Addresses
In response were delivered by Mrs.
Ora L. Cakes of Caldwell and Mrs.
c. E. Brainard of Payette. These
addresses partOok of the serious and
far reaching effect of the work of the
w. c. T. U. However, these ladies'
devoted but little time to the sub
ject, as Mrs. H. d. Hall of Aurora,
Illinois, was the principal speaker of
the evening. Taking for her subject
The Larger Vision" Mrs. Hall spoke
of the larger vision of Martin Luther
in the development of the church, the
larger vision of Lincoln in his work
in political way. and how he saw
the vision of new and free nation.
The speaker referred to the higher
vision of Frances Willard, who saw
cleaner manhood, and spoke of
Susan b. Anthony's work following
her vision OF woman's rights.
The speaker touched on the good
results of enforcing laws and praised
the action along that line of Cover
nor Folk of Missouri and Governor
Hoch of Kansas. She closed by
showing the effect the work of the
w. c. T. U. has had in every avenue
of life-how its influence had been
factor in the greater vision.

Of about six miles an hour. AS II
passed under the wires of the Bell
telephone company Clague, who had
stood up to obtain a better view of
some girls beside the track was
struck down by the wires but did not
fall from the car, When the wires
struck Hanson, who had just risen,
he was knocked over the end OF the
car, his feet striking Wyman, who

by grasping the brake.
The train ran 80 feet before being
the tender of the engine passing over

P. H. Brown, ]. w. Lii, N. C. Pres
colt, A. M. Jacobsen and Edwin

I'VE, the undersigned jury, find
that the deceased, Frank d. Hanson,
came to his death by being knocked
from box car while in motion on
the Payette Valley railroad at Miller's
station, by being struck by tele-
phone wire extending across the track
at the height of about four feet above
the top of said box car and killed by
being run over by the train at 6:25
p. m. on the 21st day of September,
1906"
At the inquest 1t was brought out
by testimony of General Manager H.
e. Dunn of the railroad that the en-
ployes of the road had been forbid
den to ride on top of box cars. Gen
eral Manager Dunn also testified that
he had notified the mana ger of the
Bell telephone company no less than
ten times within the last month t.
raise the wires at Miller's crossing,
as little more than a month ago a
Jap was struck down by the'wires.-

SAYS STATE HAS INFORMATION
Pinkerton Expert Arrives From Wal
lace in Company with Warden
Whitney of State Penitentiary-
Murder Trials Probably Not Before
January.

Warden Whitney of the state peni-
Tertiary and Detective James McPar-
land of the Pinkerton Detective agen-
cy arrived in Boise Tuesday from
Wallace, where they had been attend
ing the preliminary hearing of Steve
Adams, who was bound over to the
district court here for trial on the
| charge of numbering a man named
Fred Tyler.
Warden Whitney assisted Sheriff
sutherland of Shoshone county in
taking Adams from Boise overland
! to Wallace. The warden SAYS that
the trip was hard one. and that
the party arrived in Wallace consider
ably fatigued. Detective Mcfarland
was interested in the case because
it was through his efforts that most
or the evidence against Adams was
gathered. Mr.. Mcfarland was not
asked, however, to testify at the hear
ing. The detective said:
There was plenty of evidence at
hand to make it necessary to hold
Adams for trial and there was plenty
OF evidence more forthcoming had 1t
been necessary to present II In fact.
not over one-third of the evidence
In the hands OF the state was present.
ed at the preliminary examination.
The strongest evidence against
Adams was not made public and now
1t will not be necessary to present
it until the trial
II have every reason to believe
that the overland route chosen to
take Adams to Wallace was the only
course that could have been taken to
avoid trouble, Attorney barrow GER
tainly had things framed to tangle
things up. He Is decidedly tricky
and we took no chances with him."
On his way to Boise yesterday
morning the detective met Attorney
James Hawley in Nampa. MIR. Haw-
ley had just started for Washington,
where he will appear In the United
States supreme court October 8 for
the states side of the argument on
the appeal taken by Meyer, Haywood
and Pettibone from Judge Beatty's
decision in the federal court In the
habeas corpus cases. Mr.. Mcfarland
says he agrees with Mr.. Hawley that
there Is every probability that the
United States supreme court will
hand down its opinion on the appeal
before the close of this month.
II do not figure, however" said
Mcfarland, that the trials OF Meyer,
Haywood and Fettibone will be held
before January. The state Is ready
for immediate trial. but the defense
will, of course, do anything In its
power to delay matters"
After the decision OF the United
States supreme court the law pro-
vides that the defense shall be EMIT
led to 60 day! in which to petition for
a rehearing. There is no doubt in
the mind of the detective but that
the attorneys for the defendants will
take advantage of that provision for
the purpose Of prolonging the time.
