Owing to the fact that the present

transfer of slop from the business and
residence districts to the dumping
ground, are not adequate to handle the
refuse matter, Health officer Braden
and Sanitary Inspector Gates have
taken steps whereby the present in
convenience will be done away with,

heavy trucks carrying a large closed
tank, with a hopper at the top, and
dumping attachment at the rear.

Concrete il Road Improvement.

Recognizing the fact that good roads
are absolutely essential If state or
community Is to progress, Pennsylvan-
ia has enacted laws designed to pro-
mote highway improvement by pro-
viding appropriations for work Of that
character. Ir developing the good
roads movement the highway depart
ment found that concrete had become
an exceedingly important factor. owing
to it's great economy and durability,
says Cement Age, New York. This
has been shown by practical expert
ence and observation and matters have
reached the point where the state has
deemed 1t necessary to provide plans
and specifications for drains, culverts
and bridges. The plans are prepared
by competent engineers in order that
contractors may use concrete 1ntelll-
gently and economically. Good re-
suits are certain to follow this policy.
1t will mean the Standardization OF
Important work heretofore conducted on
the hit or miss plan. 1t was difficult
matter for the contractor to build
concrete bridges without previous ex-
perience and he was forced to bid high
in order that he might provide every
contingency, the result being, IN some
cases, prohibitive figures so far as con-
crete was concerned. Now, however,
the whole matter has become simplihed
and concrete will undoubtedly become
the favorite material in every class OF
road work requiring the use of mason
nv or iron and terra Gotta piping This
will mean better work and cheaper
work than has been the rule in the
past.

company's strike breakers was made
on South Third avenue near fire sta

Despite the order Of the mayor, to
the effect that the strike breakers
should have the liberty of the city,
and could come and go at will and feel
free from interference at the hands
of the strikers, this demonstration took
place before the very sight Of city
employees in the south side station.

beat, was off duty for the day, attend

that the men took advantage Of his

MarshalItown to Have a Treat in the
Appearance Of "The Wolf"

Appearance Of 1.-THE Wolff"
Interest is now generally centered in.
the presentation at the Odeon theater
on Saturday evening by Sam s. and
Lee Shubert Qnc.) of their all-star
cast in the ultra beautiful romantic
drama, "The Wolf" the recent tremen-
dous success by Eugene Walter au-
thor of paid in Full" "The Wolf' has
been running all summer in Chicago.
and it is this identical and original
company and production which comes
to this city. In other words Marshall
town gets the genuine No. company.
'grhe Wolf" is story Of that, won
derful Hudson Bay country and of
the primal, eternal struggle between
men for the possession of a woman.
Dark passion and pure sentiment are
set in opposition, sbut there is moth
ing. hackneyed. The men are not Of
the familiar stage type, nor are the
scenes Of q mechanical order. Mr..
Walter tells an excellent story.
The father Of Hilda MacTavish is
Scotian, whose narrowness of mind
drives his wife into the world the
child, Hilda, is left behind. When Mac
Donald, handsome young engineer.
appears he covets the simple girl and
engages old MacTavish in a plot to
lure Hilda the way her mother had
gone. Macdonald is not villain for
the gods" however, and deeds OF vio-
lence he leaves to the hero, which GER
tainly seems to be contrary to all the
old traditions. Here the art Of the
dramatist is seen at its best. There
crops up Jules Beaublen, a French
Canadian, with streak Of Ojibway
from his mother. Macdonald had left
Jules sister to die with her unborn
child Jules recognizes him and bides
his time. Baptiste, his loyal retainer,
crosses himself gently as he swears
that unless Jules kill Macdonald he
will. So ends act one, with the In
terest of the house tense
Jules overhears the plotting, of, Mac
lavish and Macdonald in reference to
the innocent Hilda. Macdonald had
been married and was gay blade on
the White Way Jules Of course lives
Hilda- The crisis comes. The girl
spurns the brutal grasp of the engtn-
eer. MacTavish enraged, declares he
will crush her life out with his bare
hands. The French inter-
venes, striking Macdonald with his
fist. The engineer attempts to draw
his revolver, but Baptiste has him
covered with shotgun in the cabin
window. At this point the second act
closes and one may imagine easily that
the interest has increased all along.
Seats are on sale for this attraction to-
morrow morning at 10 o'clock. Prices,

MORE TEACHERS
Than SCHOOLS
Indications Are That There
Will Be an Over Supply For
Country Schools
SOME HAVE NO PLACES
SOME HAVE NO PLACES
Increased Salaries Paid by the Country
School Districts Attract Teachers
From Other counties--That is Chief
Cause of the Unusual increase -
School Census Reported.

Z The indications are that for the hrst
time in many years the supply OF rur-
al school teachers this fall. will exceed
the demand. Conditions at this time
indicate IT, and altho County Supertn-
tendent Mary Hostetler is not positive
that there will be more teachers than
schools, the situation at the present
time predicts that there would be when
the schools open.
More Teachers Than Schools.
At the present time Miss Hostetler
knows of about half dozen rural
teachers who have no schools, but she
does not know Of ia single rural school
which has not engaged q teacher
There may be some that have not re-
ported their lack of teacher to her,
but ordinarily when the time for the
opening of the schools approaches as
closely as it now has, school boards
that have not engaged teachers apply
to the county superintendent to aid
them in securing one.
Salaries Attract Teachers.
The principal reason for the appar-
ent abundance oof teachers is the
marked increase in wages that has
been made in practically all of the
township and Independent school dis
tricts of the county during the past
year, or two. The wages are higher,
on the average, than are paid by the
surrounding counties, and the result
is that teachers from the nearby coun-
ties have been attracted to this coun-
ty, and have secured schools here.
Most Of the rural schools open next
Monday
Total Enrolment 6,4s0.
The annual report of County Super
intendent Hostetler, for the year end
ing June 30, 1908, which was compiled
from the reports Of secretaries of the
various school districts of the coun-
ties, has just been completed. This re-
port shows that the total number Of
persons, between the ages Of and 81
years, In the county, is s,163; made up
of 1927 males and 1886 females. The
enrolment in the schools of the cou11-
ty last year was 6,490, and the aver
age daily attendance was 1905. The
average cost of tuition per month for
each pupil was Sass. There are l52
school houses in the county, the school
property being of q value Of $3.50, 100.
The average compensation for teach
ers per month was $71.53 for males,
and $49.2S for females The average
school year was eight and nine-tenths
months, the city school year Of nine
and one half months being the longest
in the county. The Indebtedness OF the
schools Of the county, at the time the
report was made, as $1O1,5s7.52, most
Of which was represented by bonds
andfunpaid warrants Of the independ-
ent district Of Marshalltown.
