IOWA WANTS A BOARD.
Body Similar to MfnnesOta's for
Looking After the State Insti-
fvvff

Secretary H. H. Hart, of the state
board of corrections and charities, yes
terday received letter from a promi-
nent correctional and charitable expert
In Iowa, asking for a copy of the Min
nesota law under which the Minnesota
board operates.
Mr.. Harris correspondent explained
that the legislature Of Iowa had been
wrestling with the question of estab-
fishing a state board similar to that in
opertion in Wisconsin, but that the
matter had been laid over pending the
conference Of charities which would be
held in Des Moines March II to 10,
when the matter would be discussed by
prominent men identified with the in
situations of the state.
Mr.. Hart yesterday replied to the
letter, enclosing a copy of the Mime
sofa law. Mr.. Hart is down on the pro-
gramme for an address on the opening
day of the convention. He will then
explain the system of uniform accounts
and governing power Of the state board
in vogue in Minnesota. as will other
gentlemen from sister states.
A report WIS made to the Iowa legis-
lature short time ago by an investi-
eating committee appointed at the
opening Of the present session of the
legislature. The committee was severe
in it's criticism of the management of
several Of the state Institutions and
also recommended the establishment of
a state board.
Two of the committee signed the re-
port, which recommended the adop-
ton Of the Wisconsin system, which
provides for a board Of trustees to gov
ern all Of the state institutions. This
does away with the local boards. and
gives the state board of trustees the
balance of the power
One member of the committee held
out in favor of the Minnesota system,
which is in vogue in several states.
The state of New York operates under
a system somewhat similar to that in
vogue in Minnesota

Carlton is a member Of several secret so
cieties, which fact, his opponents claim. ac-
counts for his success in holding his position

Poultry Notes

Lay in supply of grain and vegeta-
bles for the long winter months.
Prepare now for winter and make
the house and yard comfortable.
If an old rooster is not fit for the
table, kill him anyhow and bury him.
Never mind threshing the oats for
the fowls, they prefer to do it them
selves.
Never give rowls medicine in me-
talic vessels. Chemical combinations
might be injurious.
See that the new poultry house, if
you are going to build one, is finished
before cold weather.
poultry house should be high
enough for person to stand in, and
that is high enough.
The earlier the hens shed their old
coats the sooner they will begin to
make winter egg record.
A writer declares that while ola
fowls can stand cornL.sal and bran,
they never should be fed to chicks.

his country, both in a military and
civil capacity. He was born in Ire
lands of good old Irish fighting stock,
in 1851 and obtained lieutenant's
commission when twenty years of age.
He became captain in 1888, major in
the following year, lieutenant-colonel
in 1885 and colonel in 1888.
After the Soudan campaign he was
selected to recognize the Egyptian
army and appointed Sirdar of the
forces. and striking testimony to his
ability has been given by the efficiency
of the troops under his command dur
ing the expedition which has culmin-
ated in the recapture of the strong
hold of the fanatics.
The fall of Khartoum means that
the power of the Khalifa Abdullah is
practically overthrown and that Kar-
dofan and the Soudan are restored to
the rule of Egypt, and that point of
great strategic Importance and of vast
commercial possibilities has been
gained. Seated at the confluence of
the Blue Nile and White Nile, the city
is bound to be great emporium OF
trade. It is shaped like the head Of
an elephant, from which it derives its
name. In the old days it was very
beautiful, with white walls and domes
and minarets cleaning through green
palm groves. But the Khalifa's wild
