Cedar Rapids, March 3.--The meet
ing of state board of education was
concluded last night with the transac-
ton of considerable routine business.
1t was expected the meeting would
continue over today, but this was found
unnecessary.
The chief item of business transacted
last night was the abolition Of the Of
flee of inspector of secondary schools
at the state university and also at
Ames and the creation of a similar
office under the direct supervision of
the state board, and acting for all the
schools. Prof F. C. Ensign, of the
state university was detached from
that institution and given the new po-
sition under the state board.
Athletics Not Discarded.
Contrary to general expectations no
action was taken in regard to ath-
letics. The subject was not discussed,
except very incidentally. and one mem
Der of the board said last evening that
no action would be taken. q
No Action on Storms Successor.
The board gave no consideration to
the question of successor to DR..
Strms, and it was said by one of the
members that the board would be in
no hurry, the aim being to be as de-
liberate as necessary in order to insure
the selection of the most capable man.

Sioux City March 3.--The salary
grab by members of the city council
and the retiring city officers of two
years ago was held to be bold viola
ton of the law when Judge Hutchin-'
son, in the district court. granted an
injunction restraining G. Y. Skeels, city
engineer, from drawing his salary in
excess of $1,000, the amount he was
allowed before the increase.
In connection with the campaign for
officers under the commission plan Of
government, now in progress, Judge
Hutchinsons decision is the main topic
on the lips Of politicians, who say it
spells defeat of all the members of the
old city hall gang" who are candi-
dates for office under the new plan.
After strenuously opposing the adop-
ton of the new form of city govern
ment, nearly every city officer under
the old system has announced himself

Agent Snyder of the Burlington road

robbing the agent and baggageman at

charged with holding up restaurant

Des Moines.
A comparison of Iowa coal rates
with the state rates of surrounding
states shows that generally speaking the
Iowa rates are lower. This compari-
SON Is now being made by the state
commission and applies only to
rates promulgated by state railroad
For instance, the Iowa
rate on soft coal for the first seventy
five miles is lower than that of any
other state rate. On lump coal the
Iowa rate. for the first seventy five
miles, is lower, with the exception of
Illinois, than any other state rate.
When it gets to longer distance the
Iowa rates do not show such a favor
able comparison In fact, 1t is believed
that when the table is worked out, that
the Iowa rates for long distances will
not make as favorable showing as do
the state rates of surrounding states.

Iowa Falls, March 3.-The agitation
in behalf of an interurban line to run
southwest from Charles City to Greene
and other points is received with much
interest in this part of the state mas
much as the continuance of the line
on a direct route southwest to Boone
would give an interurban connection
with Des Moines to many cities and
towns in northern Iowa and at the
same time tap a rich country that is
now remote from markets. The air line

opportunities are offered from the es-

the road. Rockford has brick clay
deposit superior to anything in Iowa.
For ten years there has been talk of
the small plant which is doing business

chance to get both a brick and tile
plant and a railroad. So confident do

A RUNAWAY ENGINE
Starts From Skykomish and Runs Several
Miles Before Beings sOvertaken

Engineer Hawley and Fireman Dean
had narrow escape from death last
Tuesday, when they were sent after a
runaway engine which had made its
escape from the roundhouse at Sky
komish.
From the best accounts that we
could obtain engine No. 706 was
standing on the main line at Skyko-
mish. In some manner the throttle
few open and she Immediately started
up the line in the direction of the tun-
mel.
Hawley and Dean, who were nearby
at the time, were dispatched after the
runaway engine on engine No. 1851.
About three miles out Of Skykomish
they met the runaway coming back.
They did not sight the runaway until
it had gotten within about eight car
lengths of them on account OF a sharp
curve and did not have time to jump.

Change in School Election Law

The annual school election in all
districts Of this state, except the nine
districts of the first class, will be held
on Saturday, March 5.
The last legislature made two i'm
portant changes in the law governing
the election, to which the attention oi
the school officers is being directed by
State Superintendent Dewey.
First, the polls must be open from
until 8 o'clock unless the board oi
directors determine otherwise and so
announce in the notice Of election. The
board is authorized to fix any hour for
closing the polls, not earlier than 4
o'clock, by giving the required notice.
The other important change in the
manner of holding the election is the
proposition that all ballots must be Of
white paper of uniform size and
quality" This does not mean that
ballots must be printed. The only
provision for printed ballots is in the
nine districts Of the first class.
