1.-THE School Marm."

The teacher in the country school,
expounding lesson, snm and rule,
and teaching children how to rise
to heights where lasting honors
wage, for she's a triumph of this
age. No better work than her S
is done beneath the good old shin
ing sun; she builds the future of
the state; she guides the youth
who will be great; she gives the
childish spirit wings, and points
the way to noble things. And we,
who do all things so well, and Of
our 'institooshuns" yell, reward the
teacher with a roll that brings a
shudder to her soul. We have our
coin done up in crates, and gladly
hand it to the skates who fuss
around in politics and fool us with
their timeworn tricks. In congress
one cheap common jay will loaf a
week, and draw more pay than some
tired teacher, toiling near, will ever
ask in half a year. If ! was run
ming this old land, I'd have a lot of
statesmen canned; and congressman,
and folks like those, would have to
work for board and clothes; I'd put
the lid on scores of snaps, and poul
into the teachers laps the wealth
that now away is sinned, for words
and wigglejaws and wind-Walt

tuberculosis News.

A. E. Kepford, the state lecturer
on tuberculosis for the state board
of state institutions has issued the
following bulletin:
News from various parts Of the
state confirms the fact that much
progress is being made in the fight
against tuberculosis. The people are
becoming so generally aroused that
one has but to be casual observer
to see that practical steps are be-
ing taken by the rank and file of
the people to protect themselves
against this disease. 1t is the eXcep-
ton for one riding on the train to
see the public drinking cup used.
The individual drinking cup is now
generally carried by all classes. This
is significant as there are no more
pernicious disease scattering agency
to be found, and it is gratifying
to know that the public drinking
cup is fast falling into disrepute
For the past three years this de-
partment has maintained an eXhib-
it on tuberculosis at the State
Fair. In addition to the fact that
there were many who made the ex-
at the fair.
The suppression of tuberculosis
is now becoming a matter not of
sentiment but of business sense.
This was evident by visit to the
exhibit OF gentleman who undoubt-
eddy will be a member of the next
legislature. This man spent consider
able time in viewing the charts and
Informed me that he came to the
fair for particularly one thing, to get
information concerning tuberculosis.
Not only did thousands of people
visit the tuberculosis exhibit at the
State Fair but took the free litera-
ture which was on exhibition. Very
little of this literature was destroyed
or thrown away as disclosed by a
careful inspection of the grounds.
A very interesting fact was noted
that a larger number of young men
not only took the literature for
themselves but secured additional
copies for friends in trouble.
Now that the. thousands of boys
and girls of Iowa are in school again
| the sanitation and ventilation of
| school houses should be carefully
| inspected. 1t should be remembered
| that much tuberculosis has been in
duced by the insanitary, unventilat-
ed, unwholesome school room and
| sleeping apartment. Abundant ex-
| ercise and fresh air for children can
not be divorced from good health.
| 1t will be interesting news to tu-
| berculosis workers that the Ameri-
can Red Cross society has reduced
it's percentage on Christmas stamps
from 90 per cent to - per cent.
This gives local committees much
| larger income on the sale of Christ
mas stamps and offers an ideal
method of securing funds for local
work. Any person or committees
desiring Red Cross stamps will ad-

NeaCnef was Clear.
When the results of the Vermont
election showed a 81 per cent slump
in the Republican vote, the Repub-
lican leaders in Washington de-
clared the phenomenon was due to
sweeping Democratic victories in
Maine. AS the election took place
on clear day, it would indicate the
change in sentiment going on all
over the country bears no relation
ship whatever to atmospheric con-
ditions. If the election of the Demo-
cratic candidate for governor, Plais-
ted, by plurality of 1882, is not suf-
ficient to discredit the weather theo-
ry, here are results of other cleo
lions held on pleasant days which
tell their own stories:

1t is stated that at the conference
Colonel Roosevelt and President Taft
left the other conferees and behind
closed doors discussed the possibilities

said in that private and particular con
ference Colonel Roosevelt made no

neither dropped word that could be
seized on as a foundation for guess

New York, Sept. 20.-John Purroy
Mitchell, the acting mayor, has gone to
st. James seriously bent on asking
Mayor Gaynor to assent to the re-
moval of Police Commissioner William
f. Baker. Before he left the city hail
Mr. Mitchell told the reporters that he
had no doubt of his own power of re-
moval, but that he wanted to keep the
promise he had made not to remove
any of Mayor Gaynor's appointees
without Mayor Gaynor's consent.
Mr.. Mitchell made little effort to
evade inquiries as to the object of his
journey to st. James. He did not care
to say In so many words that he was
going to ask for Bakers dismissal, but
he did say that such was the natural
inference to be drawn.
He made it plain that he believes
the responsibility for the ineffective
police work relating to gambling and
other matters which was brought to
his attention by Commissioner FOs-
dicks sleuths lies on Bakers shoul-
6ers. He thinks Commissioner Baker
has been insubOrdinate, and he carried
to Mayor Gaynor a letter Baker had
written to him declining to take the
blame for open gambling and street
walking and laying the conditions to
the embargo on precinct plainclothes
men. The acting mayor thinks that
this complaint is reflection on Mayor
Gaynor, since 1t was Mayor Gaynor
who forbade the use of such agents
Mr. Mitchell said that he would make
Police Commissioner Bakers letter
public and that he would have no
statement to make until later regard
ing his conference with the mayor. He
intimated that the statement would
have to do with the matter of Bakers
removal

LANDLADY REVEALS PLIGHT.
Mrs. jackson at Inquest Reveals Dis
trsusht Condition Of Girl Typist as
Latter Awaited Alleged Poisoner's
Fulfillment of Promise to Wed.

London, Sept. 20.-Something of what
Ethel Clare Leneve suffered as. half
mad with jealousy, she impatiently
waited the fulhllment of DIR. Hawley
II. Crippen's promise to make her his
wife, was revealed at the last session
Of the inquest into the death of Be
Gilmore, with the murder of whom tn
doctor and his typist are Jointly in
dicted.
In her distress Miss Leneve confided
in her landlady, Mrs. Jackson, and the
story that the latter told on the wit
ness stand rivaled the most sensa-
tional evidence introduced at the muir
der trial.
Mrs. Jackson said that the accused
girl gave up the room which she had
occupied at the home of the witness
on March II, explaining that she was
leaving to be married to DR.. Crlppen.
Until the first week in February Miss
Leneve had slept regularly at Mrs.
Jackson's. After that she stopped at
the house only occasionally. She said
that she spent the other nights at the
homes of friends. On one occasion
Miss Leneve mentioned having been at
the Hilldrop Crescent home of the
Crippens early in February to help the
doctor in search for bank book
which showed an account of $1,000.
She added that a diamond tiara and
rings had been found in the house, and
that the doctor had raised $3.50 on
these.
About the middle Of February, the
witness said, Miss Leneve appeared
most miserable and depressed. Such
was her state that Mrs. jackson fol-
lowed the girl to her room to learn if
possible the source Of her trouble.
Miss Leneve, the witness said, was in
terrifying state of agitation. Her
eyes seemed fairly starting out of her
head. The girl talked of death and
threatened suicide by poison. The land
lady insisted upon an explanation, tell
ing the girl that she must have some
thing awful on her mind to be in such
a condition. The witness testified that
the other replied:
would you be surprised If | told
you that it was the doctor and Miss
Elmore? He was the cause of my
trouble when you first knew me. she
is his wife, and when l see them go
away together it makes me realize my
position as to what she is and what
am
Mrs. Jackson asked, "What is the
use of you worrying about another
woman's husbands?
To this Miss Leneve answered: Miss
Gilmore has been threatening to GO
away with another man. DIR. Crippen
has been waiting for her to do so
when he would divorce her"
Solicitor Newton, who is looking out
for the interests of Crippen and Miss
Leneye, closely cross examined Mrs
Jackson, suggesting that her lodger's
excitement was due to the landlady
! having resurrected a trouble which the
! girl experienced during her earlier as
sociation with Crippen, but the wit
ness maintained the correctness OF
! her evidence as given.
