WHAT AMEs COLLEGE WANTS.
Trustees Decide to Ask the LcgisIn-
ture for Large AnprOnriRtiOns.

trustees DECIDE TO ASK the LeEtsln-
ture for Large Appropriations.
AMES Ia, Nov. 24.-(Special.) 1.-The board
of trustees of the Iowa State college, which
has just finished its annual meeting here
agreed upon asking the legislature for these
appropriations:
Additional support fund, s31, 800; fireproof
engineering building for four engineering
departments, s150,OO0; residence for the
president of the college. $40, 900; horse, barn
and stock annex. 100000; purchase of pure
breed stock for the farm department, $l0,-
900: one-tenth of mill tax levy for period
Of five years for building and improvements.
The additional support fund has become
necessary for the reason that the college
funds. which are derived from the sale of
government lands, are not sufficient to main
tain the institution at it's present standard,
on account of the low rates of interest and
tho additional fact that the law requires the
money to be loaned for not less than per
cont This is a very hard thing to do under
the present rates of the better class of Sc
curites, consequently some Of the money lies
idle.

Holden's Application Endorsed.

SIOUX CITY, Ia, Nov. 24.-(Special Tele-
gram.)-The Sioux City Trades and Labor
assembly composed of about 5000 members
has formally indorsed the application OF
Arthur e. Holder of Sioux City for the ap-
pointment OF state labor commissioner. A
number of leading men have promised to
present the matter to Governor Shaw at
once. Mr.. Holder for many years has been
prominently identified with the labor inter-
ests of this section OF Iowa and is well liked
by all who know him. He is mechanic
and has been looked upon for several years
as the labor leader of Sioux City and one Iof
the brainiest men in their organizations. - i

ticket for an overcoat and ring and the char
acter OF letters in his pocket suggested that
he may have well-to-do relatives. The body,
according to the testimony Of physician,
had been lying exposed for three months.
Death apparently had resulted from starva-
tion or poison. No examination for the lat
ter will be made. The remains were placed
In a casket, and will be held at Holsten
until the coroner's jury can hear from the
Cook County hospital by mail, and no ver-
dict will be rendered then. August 10 an in
sane man was seen in that vicinity. The
body had been mutiated by hogs.

HARD RAPS AT The BOARD OF CONTROL
Actuated by Economy More Than
Any Other Motivc-Rccent Riot
Badly HandIcd-Mcthods of
Punishment Condemned.

DES MONIES. Nov. 24.-(Special Tel
egram.) Late this afternoon the Polk
county grand jury filed n report on the riot
at the Mitchellville Reformatory for Girls
which contained many surprises. As a re-
suit there will probably be radical changes
in the management OF the institution
The State Board of Control is hit hard
blow by the report. Summarized 1t is this:
Censure for Many Things.
First-Strongly censures the State Board
Of Control.
Second-Recommends separate apartments
for the inmates.
Third-Charges gross neglect in giving
proper medical treatment to inmates.
Fourth-Favors a separate institution for
girls OF tender age.
Fifth-Declares that more iniquity is
learned In the institution than out of 1t.
Sixth-Crlticises the present methods OF
punishment.
Seventh-Condemns the present dormitory
institution.
Eighth-Declares that the barn was used
for immoral purposes.
Ninth-Compains of the management
since the riot
The Board of Control is censured for cut
ting off the salaries of the state officers and
employees, ten jurors declaring that in their
opinion the board was actuated more by
economy than anything else; also for the
discharge OF the former superintendent and
Mrs. j. S. Leonard and the establishment of
the rule that no superintendents wife shall
act as matron of an institution.
The methods used by Superintendent Mil
Ter in attempting to put down the riot are
condemned. The report expresses the belief
that with the means at his command and
with the assistance Of Sheriff Stout the riot
could have been suppressed with less trouble
and with better results.
Girls Chained in the Cellar.
The management is censured for the
methods of punishment now used, special at
tention being given to the claiming Of girls
in the cellar by heavy log chains.
Objection is made to the present dormi-
tory system. 1t is urged that each girl have
her own room and not be put in with other
girls of different ages and characters.
The report deplores the present system OF
sending girls of all ages to the school ana
says that girls as young as years are con-
fined there. 1t favors sending girls of tender
age to separate institution. Girls suffering
from contagious diseases are now sent there
and confined along with the innocent. One
case is cited in which girl suffering from
disease went whole month without treat
ment because she would not beg the pardon
of an official for the commission of minor
offense. The jury is OF the opinion that the
inmates learn more of iniquity within the
institution than outside. The report ap-
proves Of the methods of Sheriff Stout and
speaks highly of the treatment accorded to
the girls while in the RQlk county Jail. 1t
censures supersp.N saas7--fer the con-
duct of the institution since the riot and
particularly since the return of the girls
from the Polk county jail.

A Cold Winter.

The Grand Trunk officials have shut of
the supply of free passes from the Yer
monters since acquiring control of the Cen
traI Vermont Railroad and the Vermonters
feel almost as as if they were living
under new form of government. Hither-
to the people OF that state have been d.
vided into two cla,ses-those who rode
free on the late Gregory Smiths railroad
and those who did not. The former class
constituted an aristocracy. 1t consisted
of the lawyers, editors. politicians, clergy
men, and rich men of the state generally,
and everybody, in tact, with "a pull" To
abolish the immemnrial privilege of this
noble band to ride free on the states chief
railroad system is a revo 'utionary act.
We feel justified in predicting that the
winter of 1899 1900 will be colder one
than many persons in Vermont have ex-
perienced for many years.-Hartford

Haskins and His Environment.

The Brattleboro Phoenix had something
to say last week in labored editorial re-
garding "Col. Haskins and his Brattleboro
environment" Much was said about COL
Haskins, but very little about his ENVIRON
ment. The colonel was placed in the atti-
tude OF an injured and misrepresented can
didate, but by its silence the Phoenix admits
that all that was said about his environment
IN the ZINES two weeks ago was true. The
fact is that the half was not told.
In its eulogy and defense of Colonel
Haskins the Phoenix says: 1t is we'll known
that Col. Haskins has had for years an am-
bltion to represent this district in congress.
and that he was ready to become a candi
date whenever favorable opportunityi
should arise. The fact is that during both
the canvas:es of 1896 and 1898 Col. Has
kins remained strictly neutral, doing moth
ing to defeat Judge Read or to aid Gen.
Grout. In 1896 he refused solicitation to
allow his name to 60 upon the ticket for
Grout delegates. In 1898 he also main
tanned his neutrality. At the time the
Brattleboro caucus was held be was absent
| from home Tor an entire week, in attend
ance upon the Masonic conventions at Rur.
llngton, and did not return until the dav
after the the Brattleboro caucus had been
held: That his name appeared as one of
the delegates upon the Grout ticket. as the
ZINES charges, was not known to him un-
til after his return. 1t was placed there
without his consent, and had be been con-
suited he would have refused a, he did in
1896. La any case bis support or opposi-
ton could have made no difference, for in
the convention of 1898 Judge Read had the
solid backing Of Windham county. MANY
prominent republicans, friends of Judos
Read among them, have always prote.ssd
to believe that Col Haskins could have
beaten Gen. Grout in 1898 had be then en-
tered the field. This belief, however the
| colonel has never shared. But when lead
ing republicans, comprising active sunnort-
ers both OF Judge Read and OF Gen Grout
proffered him their support for 1900 he
saw his opportunity to crafty an honorable
ambition, and became candidate.
No one will dispute that ambition for .
congressional career is honorable. If i,
the right OF every qualified citizen to he.
come candidate for office and equally the
right of his fellow citizens to vote for hin,
or refrain from voting for him as their
judgment shall direct. The statement that
Mr.. Haskins remained "strictly neutrap
during the campaigns of 1896 and 1898
may be news TO some, but if Mr.. Rea6,s
friends become convinced that such mo.
really the case, it places the colonel in q
very different light. 1t places him in the
attitude Of stan ling aloof from the strife
watching the course of events and patiently
waiting for the Favorable opportunity''
when the mantle of General Grout sbop,d
fall upon his shoulders. Still with all tho
explanations, the appearance OF Mr.. Has
kins' name in the list of Circuit delegates in

There was lots OF politics at the Van
Ness House at Burlington on the occasion
OF the Fish and Game League meeting.
The friends of Gen. Mccullough and other
gentlemen were active in their behalf for
1902. 1t i, good while ahead but if the
people of the state want real Vermonter,
a real man, whose whole life has been de-
voted to the welfare of his state, one who
is by long experience and successful bust
ness training pre-eminently fitted to make
the state one of the best governors she ever
had, they will not nominate any of the
active candidates for that office in 1902,
but will choose Hon, G. G. Benedict OF
Burlipgton.-Barre Telegram.

1898 seems little inconsistent with the
theory of "strict neutrality" He was out
of town, and the appearance OF his name in
bad company was not known to him until
his return. There is an ancient saw that
man Is known by the company he keeps,
and is it not iair presumption that those
who were responsible for using his name
knew upon which altar sacrifice had baen
offered
Speaking in general terms Of county pol
itics the Phoenix says: Ever since the
withdrawal OF Judge Read from the con-
gressional candidacy and the open an
nouncement of Col. Haskins as an active
candidate, the Fellows Falls TIMES has
been engaged in an effort to create antag-
onsm between the northern Windhsm
county towns and the rest of the county, to
make break in the county, and to have it
appear that never in future will the repub-
licans OF Rockingham support any Brattle-
boro candidate for political preterment
Whether the TIMES can succeed in its I'M
dertaking, whether it is wise to make the
attempt, or whether it would even be
'OOOu IL nuCu lCCltuS Ms lDlS
could be aroused and perpetuated, must be
left for time to tell, and for every mans in
dvidual judgment.
Not so, kind neighbor. The TIMES has
no ambition to be party In creating and
parpetuating school boy teud. What we
do say is that the rest OF the county has
played the role OF Lazarus for the benefit
of Brattleboro long enough. 1t is time
something besides crumbs fell from the
table, if indeed it is not time that seats
were offered. A single reference to Brat
tleboro philanthropy and unselfsbness will
suffice for this time,-the caucus of 1885,
To be sure, the Grout list of delegates re-
ceived but 105 votes and the congressional
candidate maintained "strict neutrality"
yet the ambitious son, of Brattleboro could
not refrain even for once from having a
few candidates of their own and thereby to
some extent jeopsrdizing the chances OF
any other county candidates. The dele
gates to the state convention were instruct
ed to do what they could for both Bracket
and Holton, and so Windham county went
to Montpelier asking for three of the more
important offices in the gift of the state and
district conventions. 1t was Gaze, how
ever, of asking without receiving.
The position the TIMES takes is that if
there is to be anything like fair division
of political honors in Windham county the
other towns must make united and Wig
orous protest against the Brattleboro mo-
nopoly. and trample under foot the Brat
tleboro policy Of getting all we can, and
preventing others from getting what we
ourselves cannot get. Whether the line
should be drawn now and on Colonel Has
kins, even in Rockingham, is, of course, a
matter for thoughtful elaboration.
