There is no need to worry over the

In reply to a correspondent who asks

the Klondike gold region, the Des
Moines Register replies that Iowa sthe

made by digging crops ont of Iowa

simply amend by substituting Mime

Fired by the Governor.

A late Pieare special announces the
removal of j. II. Kipp, state insurance
commissioner. by Gov Lee, and the ap-
pointment ofThos. Ayres, the governors g
private secretary in his stead. There
are grave doubts as to the governors
authority to remove an official whose
appointment must be confirmed by the
senate, but In this particular instance, it
would appear that the exigencies of the
case demanded prompt action in order
that the governor might be relieved
from rather uncomfortable position,
and that such relief could be obtained
IN no other way. 1t is very probable
that an interesting sequel will follow.
