E o : THE OMAHA DAILY BEE, WEDNESDAY, MARCIH 10, 1836, ' CITIES SEEKING THE HOME Every Hawkeye Village Lobbying For the foldiers’ Haven of Rest. EXCURSION JAUNTS THE RAGE, Yesterday's Assembly Proceedings— Plattsmouth’s Water Works Prop- asition Carried and lowa N 1owa's General Assembly. , lowa, March 9.—[Speeial here is a probability that there will be as great a contest for the lowa sol- diers’ home as there was for the 1llinois home a year ago. Every day brings some new city elaiming the honor. About fifteen towns are active eandidates for the location of the home, and large lobbies are here work- for their respective localities, Since Colfax “Treafad the logislafnre to a free ride anda dinner to inspect its advantages, thejexcur- sion idea is becoming popular. It is said that Marshalltown stands ready to run a special train for the legislative visitors as soon as there Is an cpportunity for them to go. ‘While Burlington 1s about 200 miles away, it is understood a two days’ trip by special train will be tendered so that its location can be inspected. Among the delegations working for the home are two ex-governors, and one ex-lieutenant governor-Carpenter for Fort Dodge, Gear for Burlington, for Decorah. McGregor entered the day, and is claiming the honor of the home for northeastern Iowa. The contest, it is thought, lies between Marshalltown and Col- fax, with the former in the lead, having the best organized workers. Colfax claims su- perior advantage In its mineral springs, and proposes to have the state buy the Hotel Col- fax property with about 130 acres of lofty situation, and the park and springs, The contest Is becoming so warm that 1t is seri- ously affecting general legislation, and all are anxious to have it scttled as soon as possible. The senate passed on its third reading the Miles telegraph bill, providing for the prompt transmission and delivery of tele- graph dispatches, There was a lengthy debate on the bill lo- cating the supreme court at Des Moines and providing for four terms there annually. The prineipal arguments for the bill were made by Senator Robinson, while speeches against it were made by Senators i Sutton, Doonan, Schmidt and C but the bill was ordered engrossed by a vote of 21 to 17, | “Senator Scott introduced a bill to establish a soldiers’ home at Davenport and use the orphans’ home building for that purpose. The senate committee’s substitute for the mpulsory school bill was also ordered en- | Brossed, after a spirited debate. The bill | provides that every child between the ages of | 8and 15 shall be required to attend school at leasttwelve wecks, eight of which shall be consecutive, each ‘The house devoted the day to the consider- ation of two bills, the Reynolds or Cossatt bill for regulating the weighing of coal, and the Hutchisou bill for a 2} mill tax to pro- wvide for a soldiers’ home and other state pur- poses. Weaver moved to amend the Cossatt bill by striking out all after the enacting clause and substituting the Gatch sereen bill. After debate the amendment was lost. The bill was favored by Reynolds, Robb, Cole- man and others, and opposed by Weaver, Redhead, and Lyons ot Malaska. The lat- ter said he represented 15,000 miners, and he , did not believe 10 per cent of them favored ; the bill, They had the largest mining county in the state, but had mnot had a strike in five or six years. Thebill was ordered en- | grossed by a vote of 65 to 21. A fight was made on the tax levy bill to have its pro- « Visions divided so that the amount asked for the soldiers’ home could be voted upon separately, many opposing any increase in taxation to pay outstanding warrants. The bill was ordered engrossed. The joint leglslative:goommittee on the soldiers’ home gave a hearing to-night to the representatives ofiseventeen towns that ask for the home, Oral arguments were pre- sented in favor of each locality, and the committee adjourned until to-moirow, when the places to be visited will be agreed upon, She Will Have Water.

One class de- mands full and absolute prolubitory legislation, the other class demands that the use and sale of intoxicants be regulated by license law. The best men differ on this question. Which are the better temperance men? The pro- hibitionists assume to possess all the virtue, philanthropy and humanity, and, as a corollary, are the only propet guardians and protectors of public morals; but the fa fail to support such arrogant assumptions. We find_amonig high-icense advocates‘men of high al integrity, and quite as virtuou t and humane and better practica perance men, ) question is: Does prohibition prohibit? Truth utters an emphatic no! The next important question is: Is hi license, that regulates the use intoxicants curtails the temperance, preferable to the free, pro- miseuous useand sale with no license, as is now the ease right here at home and in distant localifics, under prohibitory laws.

Pork Drops 5¢ a Barrel on Very Light Dusiness—The Grain Markets Hold to Best Prices of the Day. ™ CHICAGO GRAIN CricAGo, March 9,—[Special Telegram, | — WaEAT—There was a steady and firm open- ing to everything in the list of speculative articles this morning. Starting sales of May wheat were at 85¢, or ie better than Monday's closing, The visible supply statement talliod soclosely with previous estimates on the probable decrease that it had no perceptit effect on values. Colder weather in the wes broughta batch of country buying orders, however, and as the New York market was stronger and public cables again favorable for headers, the feeling was one of increased firmness in early dealings. Liverpool spot wheat was quoted in moderate demand, cal goes off cost and on passage firm, and En- glish country markets generally dearer, But the strength developed here during tne first aour of business did not prove per- manent, and Aas the forenoon wore away the market showed an Inclina- tion to drag, coupled with a little weakness. From 85%c for May, which was the top, there wasa decline by noon to 843¢e, when there was a feeble rally. The deal was largely of a light local sealping character all through. Hutchinson was quite a heavy seller when the market was strongest, and he subsequently bought wheat back at a llttle profit. Swartz & Dupee and Lester were also free sellers early, while Orr, Crittenden & Comes sold, it was said, consid- erable June wheat. Little it any export busi- ness was worked at the eastern seaboard. One report said: “Two boatloads taken;” another, “No demand, and no prospect of any;” so the bulls had nothing to help them out in that direction. But there came over the wires scattering reports of damage to winter wheat in some parts of Ohio and Missouri and the labor troubles in the southwest They have had some effec During the last half hour of the regular ses- sion the market firmed up to 55@s53¢c on the split for May, and when the bell tapped 85'c was bid.

May pork sold off from £10.85 at the opening to $10.25, and at 1 o’clock $10.80 was bid, be- ing a decline of 5c per barrel. A¥ NooN Boanrp—This afternoon the marl were dull and generally weak under free offerings. Wheat and corn futures receded !fe. Corn was ¢ off and lard easier.
