A NEW PLAN.
The President of the State hoard OF
Agriculture SugYesta One.

John Cownie, the president of the
Iowa State Agricultural society, has a
new plan which he would like to have
adopted by the legislature. His plan
is nothing more nor less than to COM
bine the State Agricultural society, the
dairy commissioner, the state veteri-
marian, the Iowa weather and crop SER
vice and the farmers institutes into one
big state department., over which the
state board of agriculture shall pre-
side. Mr.. Cownie says:
'In thus modelling a state board of ag-
riculture on much the same method as Is
the agricultural department at Washing
ton, far better results will be obtained
or rather want of system, with so many
different divisions and without guiding
hand or responsible head to direct the Of
fcers of the several departments, who at
present are each law unto themselves.
''The officers of the several departments
should devote their entire time to the work.
In winter they should assist in holding
farmers Institutes in every county In the
state, and in summer should by every
means in their power assist the farmers
in securing the best results from their la
Dor.
THE governor and president of the Iowa
state agricultural college should also be
ex-officio directors of the state board of
agriculture, which would make the num-
Der II in all, instead of IA as at present.
1t should be the duty Of this board to
elect secretary, who would be the chief
executive OF the state board of agricul-
ture, and a man thoroughly versed In the
work required. The state veterinarian, the
dairy commissioner and the weather and
crop reporter should also be appointed by
the board of directors and be amenable to
the board at all times. BY this method
all these offices would be taken out Of poll
tics, and the chief requirements should
be ability and efficiency"

A WOODEN CLOCK.
One of the Most Unique Pieces of

One of the Most Unique Pieces Of
Workmanship in Existence.
II. j. Meyers, living five miles east Of
Fonda, has completed a wooden clock
that is one of the most unique pieces of
workmanship ever built. The outside
design, it is said, was suggested to Mr..
Meyers after viewing the state capitol
at Des Moines, and the piece somewhat
resembles that noted structure of archi-
tectural beauty. The outside is scroll
work and represents the main part of
the buildingand the whole, up to and in
Guiding the dome, and is said to be one
of white maple imported from Ger
many, requiring 35 feet of lumber, and
Mr.. Meyers was engaged at the work at
odd spells for two years. The mechan-
ism is such that every half hour the
clock strikes the hour, lights two cleo
trio incandescent lamps, rings bell'in
the dome, two large doors open, man
on horseback rides out through the
doors, rides back and the doors close
and a tune is played. The clock stands
about three feet high and 21s feet wide
and is enclosed in glass case to protect
it from the dust

CURRENCY REFORM.
Ex-Gov. Boies Speaks on the Finan-
ciaI Question.


EX-Gov. Horace Boies addressed a
large audience at Library hall in Fair
field on the subject, "A National Cur
rency, National Duty; What Should
1t Be?" He discussed the question
from nonpartisan standpoint and
made startling predictions as to the flu
ture financial methods. He set forth
new theories as to the control of the
monetary system of the nation.
He suggested plan for govern
ment currency to be redeemable in
gold or silver at the option of the treas
ury officials. The reserve of the treas
ury, according to his plan, is to be
equal to rs per cent. of the outstanding
obligations and to be composed of gold
and silver in equal amounts. When
notes are offered for redemption the
government is to pay out the bullion
at it's market value.
He also proposed that the government
take all gold and silver bullion pro-
duced in this country and issue certifi-
Gates for it at it's market value, those
certificates to be made legal tender.

THAT GERMAN DECREE.
Government Tests of Our Fruit said
to he Quite Fair.

Berlin, Feb. 1.-THE government ex-
pert investigation to ascertain whether
the San Jose scale may exist in sun
dried fruit continues. Consul Pitkin re-
ported to the United States embassy
that out of 1000 packages of fruit
which arrived at Hamburg the last
week two small lots, shipped from in
fected California districts, were stopped.
No northern fruit has so far been found
infested. The lots stopped during the
past fortnight from California were So
noma apples. During the coming week
900 packages are expected. Afterwards
there will be few struggling lots.
The government tests are quite fair.
Samples are only taken for the pur-
pose of examination, though the ex-
animation takes long time.

SUNDAY CLOSING CRUSADE.
Arrest of II Merchant for Decorating
the Sabbath.

Fl. ~ Schnier, Bellevue merchant,
was arrested on charge of desecrat-
ing the Sabbath. Sheriff Bell made the
arrest. Mr.. Schnier gave the neces-
sary bail for his appearance before JUS
tice Fletcher at Maquoketa. The ar
rest is the result of revival which has
been held here for the past few weeks
under the direction of visiting evan
gelists.
The crusade has been carried particu-
larly against the opening of business
houses of any character on Sunday,
and the failure of entreaty and com
mand to accomplish the purpose has
induced the evangelists to invoke the
law. There is good deal of feeling
over the late action and the community
is stirred up. The suit will be contest
ed to the bitter end.
