STRIKE At FORT DODGE.
Sixty Employees on New Dam Quit
Work When WAGES Are Cut

Fort Dodge, Aug. 13.-Some sixty
men are out Of work today on account
Of a cut in wages by the Fort Dodge
Water and Power Company. The men
who are affected are those who have
been working at the dam for the past
few weeks. Saturday evening notices
were posted near the quarters Of the
men employed that after Saturday the
wages would be reduced from $3.50 per
day to 81. The men, who claim that
their work is "back- breaking held
a conference and decided that they
would not return to work until the
original wage was received. As the
managers Of the construction work do
not intend to raise the wages Of the
men It is doubtful if steady work will
be done on the dam for some time.
A number of the men are today
seeking lawyers so as to force the
company to pay their wages. The men
were told when they quit work that
they could not get their hard earned
coin until next Saturday.

M ethods Prepared and Put in Pamphlet
Form For General Use.
Special to Times Republican.
Des Moines, Aug. 13.-One OF the
special advantages the schools OF Iowa
will ultimately reap from the distinctly
progressive school legislation Of the
past few years will be that Of uniform
ity in teaching and better UNDER
standing among teachers as to just
what should be taught on some OF the
uncommon subjects. For instance, the
department Of state aided normal
schools is now having prepared under
direction Of Prof Robert Fullerton. d.
rector Of voice culture at the Iowa
State Teachers College, a complete
course of study in music for the high
schools Of the state. This Is to be
adopted and be put in pamphlet form so
that the heads Of the normal schools
will know 1ust what is required in
Iowa. There has always been contro-
versy as to just what ought to be
taught in the schools in the way Of
music and perhaps in no other thing
have the teachers been so much at sea.
Under the provisions Of the normal de-
partment a uniform course can be
adopted that will in time become
standard for the state.

Emmetsburg, Aug. ia heavy rain
Of possibly two inches Sunday night

crop IN this section. 1t is estimated
that three-fourths of the corn will be
matured beyond the danger of frost
by Sept. 90. Plenty Of warm weather
is all that is needed now to make up
the lost time from cold nights and
cloudy days of last week. If this con
tinues Palo Alto county will have one
Of the biggest crops in the history Of
corn growing in northwest Iowa. Hay
is also bountiful crop and there will
be surplus for export as is usually
the case from this county.

cREsToN's MAD DOG SCARE.
All Dogs Whose Actions Are Queer Or

Special to Times Republican.
Creston, Aug. 13.-That an epidemic
of rabies exists among the dogs in this
city is the conclusion that has been
forced upon the community in the past
few days. Several dogs have been
shot lately that had begun to show
dangerous symptoms. The heads OF
two of these animals were sent to Iowa
City for analysis and word has been
received that the head OF one shows
the animal to have been enthusiastically
infected with the disease while that OF
;ne other one may have been. but the
assurance was not so positive. Since
then several other dogs have been
obliged to be killed and in one or two
instances they had bitten other dogs.
An order issued by Mayor Reynolds
last week that all dogs be muzzled or
shot has been changed now to all dogs
acting queerly, whether muzzled or
not be shot.
