Ing more than 100 girl operators.
The union cid not vote 20 strike, but
II did the .-cxt thing to it in the alb.
sence of full authority.
It passed a resolution declaring it
the sense OF the local that National
President Samuel j. Small, of the
telegraphers, serve ten days notice on
the Western Union officials in New
York that they must meet the en-
ployes' committee for the discussion
and adjustment of grievances or bear
the responsibility for interference with
public business, which would follow
action that will be incumbent upon
this organization, this being a polite
way of threatening a strike.
c. d. Jones, chief telegrapher of
Chicago division, No. 81, Railroad
Telegraphers, created considerable en-
thusiasm when he pledged the indi-
vfdual support of the $4,000 members
Of the general organization.
He had written, he said, to every di-
'nsion in the United States. Canada
and Mexico.
A strike assessment of one days pay
was voted, which will amount from
the Chicago telegraphers to about $5,-
600. From all the union telegraphers
In this country 1t was said that the
benefit would reach $4,000.
kilograms were received from New
York and other cities encouraging the

Total of S344,Os3.SO is Distributed
Among the Various Counties.

The June semi-annual appOrtion-
ment OF the interest and income fund
to the schools Of the state was made
by the state land department Monday,
ending out a total of $344,OS3.SO.
This is nearly $4,000 greater than
the June appOrtionment last year, and
while the number of pupils in the state
show an increase of 200 in the year
the per capita Of appOrtionment has
increased from $234 to $2.43. On ac-
count of the reduction of the interest
rate from to per cent, the in
come from that source is decreasing
proportiOnately as the older loans at
the 6 per cent rate mature and the D
per cent loans are made, but the de-
mand for leases of state lands are in
creasing, and this increases the reve-
nues. While the second apportion-
ment for the fiscal year will not be as
great as the present one, the total will
be more than SO per capita on school

FIXED BY MCPHERSON
IOWA JURIST SECURES TEST FOR
2-CENT FARE LAW.
Declares Jurisdiction is with Nation
al Rather Than State Courts, but
Suggests Trial of Law and Roads
Agree to Enforce 1t Three Months.

The Missouri 2-cent passenger fare
act went into effect at o'clock a. m.
on Wednesday and will be given a
three months trial. If at the end Of
that time it is found to be unremuner-
ative its enforcement can then be
fought in the courts by the railroads.
The state officials are temporarily
enjoined from enforcing the maximum
freight rate law, and this case will be
argued later in the federal court.
Judge Smith Mcpherson, Of Red
Oak, Ia, in the United States district
court at Kansas City, Mo, after hand
ing down an opinion maintaining the
courts jurisdiction in the premises, or
dered the PRONUNCIATION of the above
stated facts, which had been agreed to
by the attorneys for the state and the
eighteen Missouri railroads involved.
The court in its decision had suggested
that the 2-cent fare should be first
given a practical trial before injunc-
ton proceedings preventing its en-
forcement be considered.

WAGNER-ARMOUR LINE.
Proposed Intcrurban Electric Line Has
Been Formally Incorporated

The incorpOratOrs of the Wagner,
Lake and Armour Traction company
held the first regular annual meeting
at Wagner The officers were elected
for the ensuing year as follows: Pres
ident, John Absher; vice president,
John StedrOnsky; secretary, E. p.
WanZer; treasurer, A. AmundsOn;
auditor, \. II. Pease.
Arrangements were made to take
over the electric light and power plant
at Wagner. the same being now in OPP
Grafton; also to build the power house
at Armour and place the order for ma
chinery at once, the cost of which will
be about $4,000.
This will undoubtedly be the first
interurban or electric railroad east Of
the river in the state, and as it will
traverse a pOpulOus and prosperous
farming country there can be but one
solution as to the manner in which its
advent is being demonstrated by those
concerned.
The right of way has been secured
from Wagner north twenty miles to
the county line over route with few
bridges and very low grades, making
the cost of construction very low.

in that vicinity many inspections have
been made in Sphinx county, but so far
the bugs have made no appearance
