FIRECRACKERS 60 ON THE
FOURTH.
The Little Boy Can Use What
He pledSeS.

Fourth of July this year can be one
glorious round of bang, roar, smoke
and crash, in spite of the fact that the
recent legislature has passed law re-
stricting the sale of the noise producers,
namely firecrackers, toy pistols and the
like.
In the first place the law does not
go into effect until the first of January,
1908, with emphasis on the 49," and in
the second place it does not entirely
limit the explosive banging to little,
wee, red firecrackers as some would
believe.
The country dealers, according to re-
ports, are under the impression that
they can not do business in the fireworks
this year. The country dealer should
get over the notion, because the law on
fireworks will not affect him this year
in any way.
When it does go into effect it will pro-
hibit only firecrackers longer than
five inches and thicker than three
fourths of an inch, toy pistols, toy re-
volvers, caps containing dynamite,
blank cartridges for toy revolvers, or
toy pistols, and that is all. The explod-
ing canes or the ammunition for the
canes are not affected by the law, and
there are other things too numerous
to be mentioned which can be instru-
ments of celebration.

TRIAL FOR 2-CENT FARE,
Iowa Roads Ready to Put In Lower
Rates dS an Experiment.

Chicago, June 19.-Reports were cur
rent yesterday that 2-cent passenger
fares would be put in effect in Illinois
and Iowa, at least for a limited period,
in which accounts will be kept with a
view of determining whether the rate
is high enough to be profitable.
The rumored plan is said to be based
on decision rendered by Judge Nc
Pherson in the Missouri rate case. In
that state the roads sought to halt the
enforcement of the 2-cent law, but the
court ordered them to put the rate in
for three months and at the end of that
time to again appear and make their
cases if they so desire.
Acting upon that suggestion the Hi
nois and Iowa roads are said to have
decided to give the lower rate three
months trial before appealing to the
courts. At the end of that time, if the
returns do not prove profitable, it is
declared to be the intention Of the CON-
panies to resort to the courts to get
relief.
Railroads in Ohio have abandoned the
idea of contesting the 2-cent law in
that state. 1t was found that in order
to make test in the courts the roads
have to refuse to put the rates in effect
or continue them. In case of refusal
it is said, the penalties which would
accrue under the law would in one year
aggregate the passenger earnings of all
Ohio roads for $50 years.

Enforcing Pure Food Law.

Last week we mentioned that j. p.
Clark, of Prescott, had been fined in
Justice Shepherds court $40 for the
violation of the pure food law of Iowa,
the complaining witness being the
state authorities, j. G. Tate who is con-
nected with the state commission and
who bought the catsup that proved to
be adulterated and according to the
decision of the court. and j. r. Chittick
the state chemist who analysed the
catsup. 1t is said that the product was
bought from wholesale firm by the
name of Allen Bros. of Omaha and Mr..
Clark says they sold the article to him
and guaranteed it to be pure. MIR.
Tate is the gentleman who was here last
fall and explained the new law to our
merchants and at the time the Free
Press gave quite an account of his
visit and the workings of the new law.
The law is good one and is intended
for two things, the protection of the
public against injurious articles and de-
ception. 1t is said the ingredients
that caused the convictions of the de-
PENDANT were not injurious-wa not
commended that they were, but the
article did contain deceptive articles
such as starch, that it would make it
bulky, and when it was sold as pure
tomato catsup did not comply with the
law in that the starch made it bulky
and the user got large amount of cat
sup in quantity and small amount of
the real article. That made the article
deceptive; made it possible for one
merchant to sell larger bottle for a
certain price than another merchant
,b0 cn11snoe pt;o ~
Tate said he was recently stopping at
brand of catsup was on the table and
when the hotel proprietor was asked
why he used it his reply was that he
could get more of it for the money than
other brands. He was evidently
charging his patrons fancy price and
feeding them on the cheapest article or
the market. The merchant who sold
the article to the hotel man was visited
by Mr.. Tate who made purchase of q
bottle and the firm was convicted just
as MIR. Clark was. When the assistant
commissioner visited Prescott he found
the same on sale there, bought it, had
it analysed, proved it to contain de-
ceptive ingredients, had the salesman
arrested which resulted in his convic
ton. AS stated before Mr.. Clark sale
the goods had been represented as pure
to him and he will hold the wholesale
firm for the fine and costs amounting
to about $25. The chemist did not de
mand expert fees and all he asked wal
car fare and witness fees and the stat,
is paying the expenses Of MIR. Tate, S,
the costs were made as light as possible
We are glad to see the pure food Law
being enforced. Merchants SHOULD
study the provisions and comply will
the requirements or they may get int
trouble. You can't tell when one o
the agents will drop in, buy an article
have it analysed and if not found t
comply with the requirements caus,

The oil drillers have been experience

bursts or gets fast, and if it isn't these
it is something else. They have been
bothered and put to so much expense
by these accidents that they decided
yesterday to pay up and quit the works.
They proposed however that if the town

money to move the derrick few feet

10000 Teachers to Be Elk.
mined.

A dispatch from Des Moines says:
Ten thousand Iowa school teachers
and would-be school teachers will be
examined this week, June 26, ~ and IS,
for certificates under the new state
certificate law. This is the most i'm
portant examination since the new state
certificate law went into effect because
the number to take the examination is
the largest and furthermore because the
educators are anxious to see what effect
has been made on the teachers of Iowa
by the attempts to make it appear that
the scarcity of teachers is due to the
fact that the examinations are made so
difficult that scarcely anyone can pass
the examination. Headed by Mrs.
Jennie Huegle, of this city, who failed
to pass the state examination but tried
and some of the teachers of Davenport
there has been studied attempt to
make the new law unpopular in the
hope of getting it repealed.
That there is scarcity of teachers
over the state is confirmed by all edu-
Gators, but by State Superintendent
Riggs and the recognized leaders
among the educators of the state it is
claimed that this scarcity is due to the
fact that teachers are paid no more
than good farm hands and not due to
the severity OF the examinations. The
questions for the examinations before
the new law went into effect were fur
nished by the state superintendent
Office and under the new law they are
furnished by the state board of educa-
tional examiners, Of which the state
superintendent is one, and the state
superintendent declares that the eN
animation questions are no harder now
then formerly. There is however, no
opportunity under the new law for a
county superintendent to give teach
ers' certificate to a person who failed
to pass the examination.
County superintendent and others
over the state who have been inter-
viewed do not believe that the attempts
to stampede the school teachers of the
state and induce them to stay away
from the examinations will be success
full. Many of them have followed the
example OF county superintendent De-
zoe, of Hancock county, who issued a
circular and sent it to every teacher
and prospective teacher in his county
in which he explained the attempt to
make he law unpopular and urged the
teachers to be present to take the ex-
animation.
The examination in June is taken by
the great bulk of the teachers of the
state. The other examinations in Octo-
Der and January are for belated corners
who failed to be on hand for the June
examination or who failed to pass the
June examination. This June examina
ton will therefore be sort of test at
which it will be ascertained just how
much effect the opponents of the new
law have had on the teachers of the
state. At the same time, however, the
leading educators are expecting that
there will still be shortage because
the wages paid teachers are not suffici
ent and the better teachers are contin
ually being attracted to other walks Of

The locusts are said to be working
this way and have already spread over
the northern part of Missouri. A COM
mercial traveller in the city yesterday
reports that they are now thick around
Lancaster, Mo-, and other northern
Missouri towns and a Centerville man
who was in the vicinity of the Iron
house across the line south of Cincin-
natl says they are thick down there and
that their singing is very annoying.
He said the noise they made was the
gritting of their teeth as they ate the
foliage from the trees, but from the fact
that this was in the vicinity Of the Iron
house it is explained that he must have
been some mistaken. 1t is said the

We were little misinformed in re-
gard to Mr.. Halls jersey COW last week.
We stated that the COW stood fair show
of beating the worlds record and that if
she continued as she has the past few
months she would give 700 pounds of
butter fat in year. We learn from
Mr.. E. S. Butfum, of Leroy, the most
prominent jersey breeder in this part
of the state that the worlds record is
now held by a Holstein COW which has
given 1000 pounds of butter fat in a
year. However Mr.. Halls COW is re-
markable good one but he is testing her
to have her entered in the associations
efficiency list which requires test of
450 pounds year. This COW is one of
Mr.. Butfum's breeding and is fair rep
resentative of the kind of cows he has
in his herd.-Garden Grove Express.

run and in turning the corner
the wagon turned over and
