Lougee & Bradley is Appoint Last evening's dispatches contained some news that was rather surprising to a good many people in southwestern Iowa, and to possibly nono more surprising than to the friends of Frank P. Bradley of Audubon. A nearly every one knows, there has bean a red- hot contest golng on for the past year be- tween Bradley and Cole of Keokuk and Duggan of Creston to see which of them ghould be United States marshal for the southern district of Towa. A few wecks ago the contest became so warm that the in- formation was given out from the president’s office that neither of them should have the place, and Ed Hunter of Des Moines immediately shied his castor into the ring and claimed the prize with such loudness that it was commonly under- stood that he had won over the affections of the president and would be appointed. Up to last night it was thought that Bradley and the rest of them were entirely out of the race, and even Thomas Bowman, who had been one of Bradley's staunches Bupporters from the start, admitted that he thought Hunter would be the man. So when the telegrams from Washington stated that Bradley had received the appointment At was an all around surprise.

There was a good deal of interest at- tached to the meeting of“the Board of Edu- cation last night, The meeting was es- peclally calied for the purpose of coming to a decision upon several propositions in which the public is interested. All the members were present and as large a number of citi- Zens as could be comfortably seated were on hand to listen to the discussions. The first questifin that came up was the proposition to vote $50,000 bonds at the com- ing spring school election, to be used in the erection of a new high school building. The wembers all admitted the incon- venience and d er to the health of the puplis, who were compelled to climb the Fai ount park hill to reach the present high school, and when the resolution to submit the question of voting the necessary bonds was introduced it went through with- out opposition. This paved the way for the backers of the Cut-Off island request for a $2,600 bullding, and the resolution to vote the required bonds was carrled. The fact of the rapld growth of the south- ern portion of the city and the crowded con dition of the Twentieth avenue school was then brought up for discussion, with the result that another resolution submitting the proposition to vote bonds to the amount of $8,000 for the purpose was introduced and carried. The proposition submitted by the Towa Normal School association to lease the old High school bullding for normal purposes was rejected for the time being. 1f the High school bonds carry the lease will be made. The estimates of the finance com- mittee submitted at the last meeting were spproved. The question of how near the board had reached the legal limit of bonded indebtedness was brought up.

The legislature 1s literally overrun with lobbyists of every description, rivaling in numbers and persistence the famous raiiroad lobby of six years ago. Strange as it ma seem, the railroad contingent is the smalles for many years, but the lobby has been re inforced by other special Interests to swell its numbers to the prosent limit. All of the penal and charitable institutions are on hand asking for increased appropriutions or some new buildings. The State univer- sity, Normal school and Agricultural col- lege have formed a pool and each are asking for u special tax for the permanent support fund aggregating fully §250,000 annually. The lobby representing these institutions a strong; lead and may succeed In getting a favorable Teport from the committee on ways and means. The city of Lemars wants a new insane asylum located at that place, while Cherokee and otlier towns in (hat sce- tion are after the sume thing. The insurance lobby includes agents and special attorneys and any number of local workers, all striving to defeat the valued policy bill and other re- strictive legislation. The importunities of the lobby are beginning to tell on the mem bers and the requests for further hearings are being generally granted. 1f this pol should continue for a couple of weeks longer { it will result—just as the lobby de in the sidetracking of nearly all the important measures they want to see killed. The claims committee is also besieged with a horde of claimants who think the e owes them something for services rendered or injuries received. Among these is Mrs. Turney, who wants the state to r imburse her for the time her son Chester spent in the penitentiary, he having been finally par doned by Governor Larrabee after two or three years of the most exasperating imjpor tunities on the part of Mrs. Turney and he friends. The legislature, however, is in no mood to set the precedent of paying for the time of convicts who happen to be pardoned hefore the expiration of their term of ser- vice.
