Going in for Chickens.

Poultry raising on large scale is one OF
the possibilities that Is attracting good deal

served to attract additional interest to the
business of raising finely bred poultry, and

handsome profits attached to the business il
1t Is properly pushed Among the men who
have taken a deep interest in the eubjec,
Is G. NJ Trephagen, who owns couple OF
farms within a few miles Of the city that
are favorably located for poultry raising, and
yesterday he took the first steps toward going
into 1t on a large scale by ordering the con-
structioQ of several of the largest incubators
ever constructed. The smallest of these will
S1ld $500 eggs and the others are proportions
ately larger. He has planned to raise IL 00C
chickens, 1000 turkeys and $500 ducks, using
eggs from the best grades OF fowls. Otnei
farmers are taking correspondingly deer
interest in the subject, under the impression
that the TransmisslssQpi Exposition mex

ceving them also received bills dated at
Rock Island, and paid for them when the

the delivery not being in original packages
and the collection being made at the time
and pace of delivery constituted the transac
tion a violation OF the liquor laws, and re
moved them from the protection OF the liquo

Men who Are Likely to he Officers in

MARSHALLTOWN, Ia, Dec. PA Des
Moines letter In the Times Republican gives
the following fresh gossip in regard to the
organization of the Iowa house in January:
The prospect now is that there will be less
contest for legislative places than usual, for
most Of the house positions seem to be pretty
well settled already. The slate announced
now is really not slate, but is only list
of those who are in the lead and almost GER
tain to win. There is no combination. All
talk Of that sort is nonsense, now and al
most always, for combinations are hard to
make except on paper, and hard to hold to-
gether after they are made. This list is as
follows:
Speaker, ]. Fl. Funk of Iowa Falls.
Chief clerk, James D. Rowen Of Des
Moines.
Chief doorkeeoer, James A. Gilmore, Stuart.
Sergeant alarms, some good man from the
Second district. ..
Journal clerk, Harold Lounsbury, Marshall
town.
Enrolling clerk, Miss Nebergall, Hull
Engrossing clerk, Clara Keller, Wapello,
Louisa county
First assistant clerk, G. R. Benedict,
Shelby.
Second assistant clerk, c. R. Graves, Rice
vile.
This Is a good list and 1t includes repre-
sentative people, who will also make good
officials There are contests forS some of the
other places. In the senate it is more un-
certain, and as yet few strong candidates
are well advertised, except for the three Sec
retaries' places where the old officers seem
sure of reelection unless something new
turns up very soon. They are: Dr. George
A. Newman, Cedar Falls, secretary; c. H
