Council Bluffs Nonparell: A _crippled Cedar Raplds girl was arrested last week for ratsing the value of a check from §5.17 to $.27. Perhaps this is a case where no one wiil complain it the wheels of justice are allowed to get a trifle rusty. Sloux City Jovrnal: In regard to that St. Louls dfspla. . how would {t do to have a corn palace merely as a shell to cover an_exhibit of mining and manufacturing products? That would tell the whole story. A corn palace can be constructed about i cheaply as a plainer but more substantial building and the unique decorations would serve as an attraction to draw visitors to inspect the resources which Iowa will find it profitable to advertise. Glenwood Opinion: The boys who work on a farm are strictly “in it these day The other day a young man hired out for the year, and he will get §250 in money, his board and washing, the keep of his bUESY horse, with a week off when the corn is “lald by’ In June, and another vacation when th husking is fnished. —Counting ordinary prices pald for board and washin and horso feed, this young man will ge better than $45 a month. Corning Gazette: If it was not for the mere form, there would be no necessity of sending full delegations to the two conven- tions to be held at Creston. In the con- gressional district there 18 no opposition to Colonel W. P. Hepburn for congress. Likewise no one opposes Judge Towner nor Judge Parrish. Still it {s always pleasant for republicans to meet and hold a love feast. It makes them better republicans and therefore ‘better citizens. Decorah Republican: The lesson of the flood is no wnore dirt roads. All the earth work done since the flood of 1892 was cleared off and sent down stream to enrich the Iowa valley. The graveled tracks made ten, fifteen and even twenty years ago are disclosed again, solld, entire and service- able as ever. Another lesson—keep the roadways as low as possible. A high road- bed is useless; yea, more, it is an offense if It serve to dam back water or throw it upon the adjoining lot. A good roadbed is one that 1s founded sufficiently to drain the water frcm the center to the gutter as directly as possible. Paring off the outer ridge is just as effective as piling up the center, and costs less than half. Burlington Hawkeye: Some lawyers who have been watching the trend of affairs in the state for @ number of years are of the opinion that the time is approaching when the term of office of the district judge will be lengthened. At present they hold office only four years and in a great many cases hardly get out of politics once before they are compelled to enter another contest. There are some exceptions and In many districts _f\lflg!u hold office for an indefinite period. This is not the general rule, how- ever. Bhould the state see fit to double the length of the terms of the district Judges, it on & par with some of the eastern states, where district judges hold office for terms of ten years or even longer in ome in- Stances. The result is that care is taken to secure good men and as they are always iven a second term, an election is virtually or life. lowa State News Notes.

MACHINISTS' STRIKE IS ABOUT OVE |9, W Who Has Had Charge of the Crop Service Bureau Ever Since Its Establishment, Is Sage, Reappointed, (From a Staft Correspondent.) DES MOINES, June 5.—(Special.)—Inter- est in the comgressional contest in the Fourth district is intense at the present | time, not only because of the fact that this is the only contest in the state for renomi- | nation, but because of the importance of | the fight, thereln securing control of the | party machinery in the state. At the out- | set Congressman Haugen was opposed by James E. Blythe of Mason City for the nom- ination. Duncan Rule, also of Mason City, was brought out as a candidate against Blythe and has beat Blythe in Cerro Gordo | county. In the meantime the friends of ;Hduun have been active in the rest of the district. The congressional convention is set for the 15th, and this was dome by the friends of Haugen. All the county conven- | tions will be held in the next ten days. It {is regarded here as almost certain that Haugen will win, since the friends of Blythe will now aseist him in the fight against Rule. The real contest Is over the control of the convention and the delegations to the state convention, for an effort is being made to secure a change of committeemen. Upon the success of this movement depends the control of the state committee for sev- eral years. Turner, the present member, is a friend of Blythe, and it is desired to supplant him with another. The conven- tions in the Ninth and Second districts have not been called as yet and may not be until late Partial Settlement of Strike, John Campbell, one of the vice presidents of the International Order of Machinists, spent a few days in the city and effected a partial settlement of the controversy be- tween the machinists and operators in the city over the time of Jabor. The machinists were contending for a straight nine-hour day for all the machinists and for helpers and apprentices. All the men went out in all the Des Moines shops and this morning, as the results of Campbell’s work here, the men went back to work in all but two of the shops, having been granted their de- mands in full. The other workmen are ex- pected to go back this week. The strike of plumbers has not been settled yet, but a number of the firms are working right along and it appears as if there would be ultimate fallure for the strikers. would be merely placing ftself | Reappoint Weather Man., J. R. Sage was this morning reappointed by Governor Cummins to have charge of the Towa weather and crop service for the next two years.

He is also In charge of the governmezt crop service for Iowa.

Charles L. Belt of Boone has been ar- rested and is in jail awalting the coming of a naval officer to take him to Brooklyn to be tried for desertion from the navy.

It is expected that the case of the United States agalnst Letson Balliet will go to the jury tomorrow morning. Arguments were heard all day today in federal court before Judge Munger on the case, the argu- ments for the government being by District Attorney Miles and Mr. Stewart and for the defense by Judge Charles A. Bishop and Colonel Calahan, Robbers Turn on Gas. The odor of gas, coupled with the fact that three calls for breakfast had received Do response, prompted Mrs. W. M. Sholley, 819 Seventh street, to burst open the door leading into the bedroom of C. H. Johnston, who rooms at her house, early this morn- ing. A perfect gust of gas swept out from the room, nearly overpowering the woman, while within, stretched prone oo the bed, lay the apparently lifeless body of tne man. A rifled trunk, clothes thrown about the room and all of the drawers in the dresser standing wide open, told too plainly the fact that burglars had turned on the ga in order to so deaden the sensibilities of the man that he would not awaken during the robbing of the house. The unconscious man was removed from the room and Dr. Smouse was hastily sum- moned. The victim was nearly dead and it was only after several minutes’ hard work that he was finally able to open his eyes and sit up.

IOWA CITY, Ia., June 65—(Special Tele- gram.)—Phi Upsilon, the University of Towa chapter of the Alpha Chi Rhe frater- nity, has sent back its charter to the nye tional organization and has withdrawn from the fraternity.
