Des Moines, Aug. 4.-The more the
smoke of the battle of Wednesday
lclears away, the better the smell of the
atmosphere, politically, and the less ex-
Icuse there is for attempting to work
up bitterness and strife over the judi
cial nomination. Sensational attempts
have been made to twist the occurrence
es OF that day so as to make them ap-
ply TO the senatorial question. Moth
ing appears to be worth much now-a-
Edays in the minds of some newspapers
and correspondents that does not ap-
ply to the senatorial question, and if
anything occurs politically that does
not apply thereto, some way must be
found to make it so apply. In this as

One of the most frequent comments
made upon the new Auditorium was in
regard to its excellent acoustic prop

could hear and understand distinctly
anything said in reasonable tone of

could be said of the Auditorium, and

ready for use for any and every pur-
pose. 1t will do another thing, and

spectacular attractions, grand opera

ported from the seating capacity Of any
theater or hall now in this city. 1t was
quite an unusual thing for d resolu-

convention concerning the pubic spir-

All sorts of applications come to the
Iowa Agricultural College for openings
for work in their line. One of the most
recent was a clergyman in Ohio. of the
age of so years. who wrote to Prof
Curtis to inquire what would be the
prospects of his obtaining employment
| in the dairy business if he should take
course at the college, and how long
| it would take him to acquire the neces-
sary information. The writer rather
mournfully said that at his age mans
best days in the ministry We're over.
and that congregations did not take
kindly to old men in the ministry, but
that he was as vigorous as ever, in
good health, willing to work, and could
do as much as the next man. Every
man who writes to Prof. Curtiss with
such an idea of bettering his condition,
and such a spirit of industry and am
bition, receives encouragement. Only
recently one of the newer graduates of
the college was placed in $1,000 posi-
ton in Illinois, which will soon grow
to something much better.
