ty-four Counties Where There 10
Scarcity of Teachers.

Cedar Falls.-Special examinations
have been held in forty-four counties
OF the state, where there is shortage
OF teachers. The papers will be mark
ed and graded as soon as possible.
Between 200 and 300 rural schools
have not opened owing to lack OF
teachers. The department of public
instruction had an opportunity OF sup
plying the vacancies by importing
teachers from Indiana, but decided
against this course. Accordingly spe-
cial examination was ordered for
teachers-the department waving the
requirement that the applicants for
examination have had at least twelve
weeks of normal training.
Examinations were held to fill va.
cancies in the following counties: Au-
dubon, Boone, Bremen. Butler, Cal
houn, Cass, Cedar, Cerro Gordo. Craw-
ford, Clarke. Emmett, Floyd, Greene.

DESERVED TO KEEP HIS LIFE
Hunted Boar Showed Much Clever
ness In Making His Escape When
Hard Pressed by Pursuer.

The boar is terrible enemy, and
also an alarmingly agile one. An Eng
lish sportsman tells of splendid es
cape made by one of these creatures
in India.
This boar, which had been hard
pressed, galloped into nullah. very
sharp. deep cut. more like a narrow
chasm than a ravine. Down this, along
the bottom of 1t, he raced. followed
by a man on swift horse.
The banks on each side overhanging
the boar were six feet or more In
height. Suddenly the creature turned
a sharp corner. which hid him from
view. Then, by tremendous effort
he scaled the bank and gained the top.
He turned short around. leaped the
entire width Of the nullah, and landed
safely on the other side, clearing both
horse and rider as he jumped, save for
the mans pith helmet which he
knocked off. He had escaped by q
narrow margin.

Des Moines.-If the law passed In

der. to vote Nov. Z. Adj. Gen. Guy E.

Clarke that a special session Of the
iowa legislature be called in October
to enact law granting Iowa soldiers
the right to vote in the field.
The governor of Connecticut has
called a special session of the Con-
necticut legislature to adopt law for
the benefit of the soldiers from that
state who are on the border, in order
that they may vote. Massachusetts,
already has held such a session. 9th.
er states are considering similar
moves.
The adjutant general is putting his
faith in the law passed by the legis-
lature in 1862 permitting the Iowa sol
diers to vote on the battlefield Of the
civil war.
C.. A. Robbins, assistant attorney
general, who is examining the law in
question with view OF determining
whether 1t is still operative, is not
yet ready to make ruling. The civil
war voting law was dropped from the
code and supplement after the close
OF the war.
The Iowa soldiers could vote by
mail under the terms of the absent
voters law, were it not for the provi-
sion in the law which calls for new
registration every presidential cleo
ton year in cities having a popula-
ton of $500 and over.
Some of the Iowa guard organiz1-

than $500 population, hence the men,
bers are not required to register.
