Parker ‘was elected president of the state depart- ment by 178 votes, against 136 for Mrs. Georgla Worker of the Davenport corps. The only reason specified for making a change was that Mra. Worker lived in Rock Island, and the women thought, at least & majority of the delegates present am, that the president should be a woman ‘whose home is in lowa. Charlotte B. Morgan of Waterloo was elected president of the Ladies of the Grand Army of the Republic. Bankers Oppose ch Banks, The lTowa State Bankers' assoclation ad- journed this afternoon after refusing to adopt a proposed resolution favoring the plan of having branch banks for national banks. The convention even declined to refer the resolution to the national meeting. The next meeting will be held some time in June, 1903, the exact date and place to be fixed by the executive committee. While there was no resolution passed fixing the meeting place permanently at Des Moines, the executive committee has been asked to consider the advantages offered by Des Moines as a convention city so that it ls expected all conventions hereafter will come to thia point. The feature of the closing session was the speech of Charles A. Dawes ex-comptroller of the currency, on the question, “Aeset Currency and Branch Mr. Dawes spoke for an hour and a half, holding the closest attention of his audience. Following are the officers President—Homer .A. Miller, Des vice president, L. F. Potter, Har- lan; treasurer, Frank Y. Locke, Sibley; secrotary, J. M. Dinwiddle, Cedar Rapids. Des Molnes Army Post. The Des Moines army post is regarded as perfectly safe, even though the house of representatives at Washington passed a resolution directing the reduction of the amount of appropriation for army posts by $4,000,000. Congressman Hull has tele- grapbed friends bere that he has a sufficlent sum in the various other appropriation bills to enable work to be commenced this year oo the post and the situation here will ot be affected in the least by the fate of the regular army bill. Steal Wire fr: Falr Gro A daring robbery Is reported from the state falr grounds last night. A man, evi- dently an artist in his line, climbed the electrie light poles running through the grounds and ocut over 660 feet of heavy copper wire, worth §75. This he carried away, probably for the purpose of disposing of it to one of the numerous junk dealers in the city. J. H. Deemer, who lives on the grounds, reported the matter this morning He asserts tbat he ‘found tracks leading from one pole to snother and also found a track leading from the grounds. He is of the cpinion that but one man did the work. In view of the fact that the wires were heavily charged with electricity, the feat is regarded as remarkable, and it is thought that an electrician of abllity and under- standing is responsible for the deed. Wire was atolen from the grounds onee before and recovered in a junk shop. This wire was stolen by three boys, who were sent to the reform school. It was taken from fences near the bulldings, and It is thought that the deed last night was done In an altogether different manner and was not the work of boys. State Medical Soefety. The lowa State Medical soclety today de- cided on holding the next meeting in Sioux City, and selected officers as follows: Presi- dent, J. T. Priestley, Des Molnes; vice presidents, Willlam Jepson, Sioux City, and C. F. Wahrer, Fort Madison; secretary, V. L. Treynor, Council Blufts; assistant seere- tary, W. W. Dean, Sloux City; treasurer, W. B. Small, Waterloo; delegates to n tional meeting, George F. Jenkins, Keokuk, and James R. Guthrie, Dubuque. Cummins Back from Rock Governor A. B. Cummins returned early this morniug from Rock Island, where he had attended the department encampment of the Illinols Grand Army of the Republic. He was accompanied by his officlal etaft and was given a place of homor in the grand parade on Wednesday afternoon. He expressed himselt as decidedly proud of his staft. He had sixteen men all properly uniformed and mounted and Governor Yates of Iliinols had only ten men, while Governor Van Sant of Minnesota had oaly #ix of his staff with him. “The reunmion was a great success,’ id Governor Cummins. parade was very fine and a great many Towa men were there, finding it easler t6 reach Rock Island from the eastern part of the stai than to come to Des Moines to attend the Towa encampment.” Adjutant General Byers and others of the staff returned with the govermor this morning, but several went direct to their homes. Governor Cummins has an invitation to 80 to Nebraska, but cannot accept. Inspection of State Institutio; The State Board of Control went today to Eldora for an official inepection and to- motrow will be at the Iowa Soldiers’ home at Marshalltown, thence returning home. Nothing new nas transpired the last few days In regard to the deaf school. Mem- bers of the legislature from the western part of the state attending the reunton this week have expressed some fear lest there would be a movement to take the deat gchool from Council Blufts in case an extra session of the legislature is called to appropriate for it. They belleve that Knoxville would make a bid for the school and offer the bulldings already there as an excuss The working plans for -the tem- porary buildings at Council Bluffs are now being prepared and bids will be recelved thereon befors anything else is done. Supreme Court Decisions. The Iowa supreme court took a hand in Council Bluffs real estate transactions to- day and decided the case of Bellinger agalnst Collins. Mrs. Bellinger had lsted with Day & Collins bere property for sals and Collins & Childs, another firm, found a customer who took the property, paying $2,000 cash and giving other land worth $2,000. They turned over the cash to Mrs. Bellinger and had a deed to the land made to Mrs. Collins. The supreme court to- day declded that the land taken in the trade belonged to Mrs. Bellinger and over- turned the rulings of the lower court. The court declined to order a new trial for Senator, William E. Mason of Ilinois on his appeal from the findings of the dis- trict court here. It was in the case of the Bankers' Jowa State Bank against the Mason Hand Lathe Company and W. E. Mason. The Senmator had indorsed a note for $3,000 given without consldera- tion and deposited at the bank on which the lathe company, of which Frank Mason, the senator’s brother, was manager, might secure credit. On such credit an indebtedness of $1,650 was in- curred and the bank got judgment for the same. The court holds that although the note was given without consideration the seantor is llable for the face of the note as indorser. The supreme court overruled the motion for rehearing in the case of Jobnson against the Omaha Railroad Company, from Wood- bury county, in which case the attorneys for the railroad company had contended that the court lald down a rule which would enable all tramps to ride on traims free because the court held the company lisble for damages for evicting a tramp while a train was in motion.

D., May 22.—(Spe- clal.)—The recent rains have been of infinite benefit to the crops and the cattie ranges in this neighborhood. The ground has not been in such good condition for many years past and the grass is forward for the season, so there is a certainty of good graz- ing.

The Belle Fourche river roundup started up at the mouth of the river, intending to ‘work up stream, but at present it is stalled in the gumbo country. Ldsses generally have mot been heavy, but they were appaling in some instances. The losses ocourred largely during the last blizzard.
