be thorough in this work DR.. Ban
mister and Senator Wade are at Ell
mira, n. Y, today where Is located the
model rsformatory Of the United States
They have already visited a number OF
prisons and reformatories and report
! they have learned great deal that will
be Of value. When the board Of control
was first organized there was good
deal OF investigation Of institutional
methods, but this is the first for

week issue the fifth Of his series OF

will be q large one and will contain the
substance Of the new legislation and
the report on the 500 or more prosecu-

court decisions in Iowa upon questions
arising under the dairy and pure 1000

up by anyone easily.
Reports from the mines OF Iowa ne
ing received at the office OF the STATE
mine inspectors show that the season
ended June 30 last was not big one
in coal mining in Iowa. Only Few
of the reports have been received SO
that there is but little on which TO base
an estimate Of the years business. out
generally they show a falling on IN the
GOAL output.
IT has not escaped attention that the
four members Of the state executive
council are enjoying added prosperity
for the year in the form of an increase
Of salary Of $500 year each. This was
done at the omnibus appropriation Dill
Of the legislature which was passed on
the last day, the additional amount be-
ing as salary on the executive council.

A meeting Of the state board Of edu-
cation 10 to be held tomorrow at Iowa
CITY. The unfinished work Of complet-
ing the faculties Of the colleges will he
disposed Of and the new president OF
the state university is expected to be
present. It is not probable that She

Secretary Sumner Of the state board
of health Is keeping very close watcn
on the immigrants who come from
cholera infected ports Of Europe and
are destined for Iowa. Tho the Ellis
island Officials report that sixty Of
them came thru there on the way to
Iowa T., the month Of July nothing has
developed to show that there has been
any danger to Iowa people. If the emil
grafton continues it is possible that
some infection may be carried far in
land and it is because Of this danger
that extra precautions are being taken
here.
