NOTES FROM THE CAPITAL
DIS MoINrs T,

UEs MONIES, July 2, 1900.
few weeks ago there was sm
plus in the state treasury of Iowa
about 100000. This has been Dr.
pleted by two months of state insti-
tuition warrants and other outgo not
met by the income during the summer
months from tax collections, and Is
now about Ss75,ooO. This, it is ex-
pected, will continue to go down until
September when the annual collection
of taxes will mean a considerable in
crease.
The state board of control has made
$1,000 within few weeks out of the
advance in wheat. The board had
contracted for -four on basis of &C, 600
bushels of wheat or more if wanted for
state institutions, to be delivered as
wanted. The prices quoted when the
contracts were made several weeks
ago were very low
Iowa soldiers will return the confed-
crate flag captured by them in 1865,
from the state house in Columbia S. C..
This flag is garrison flag and is now
in the possession of the Iowa State
historical Society at Iowa City. Col.
Ii. III. Rood, Of Vinton, is member of
the trustees Of this society, and is also
president of the Crocker Brigade.
Soldiers from this brigade captured
the flag. The society has planned to
turn the confederate flag over to the
brigade through Colonel Rood at it's
meeting in keokuk, in October. This
is with the expectation that it will be-
returned by tile brigade to the confed-
crate veterans from whom it was cap
tured, or to the state of South Caro-
lima. About 1891 confederate general
came to Iowa and returned flag that
was captured from one of the Iowa
regiments during the war, much to
the delight of the veterans here The
return of the confederate flag will be
return compliment.
Chairman Weaver, of the republi-
can state central committee, has as
sured Sidney A. Foster, j. q. Rounds
and |. Friedrich, of the executive COM
mittee of the Auditorium company,
that the republican convention Of
August will come to Des Moines, as
agreed. Weaver attaches one con-
dition to his promise. He spoke for
managers that if the progress on the
rebuilding of the auditorium has
reached such point by July 20, as to
insure the completion by August l, no
change will be made in the conven-
ton plans. If on that date the in
dications are that the work cannot
be finished in time, the committee will
take steps to take the convention to
Cedar Rapids or elsewhere. Mr..
Weaver himself expressed perfect con-
tidence in the ability of Des Moines
to fulfill its part of the agreement,
and said he has no doubt the conven-,
ton will be held here. The execu-j
tive committee, has determined to
work at least two shifts of men on
the auditorium, with the purpose of
getting it done by August 1 without
fail

CHARTER OAK PARK POOL SELLING.
WIZ the Law and Order League Failed TO
Raid the Gamblers on the Races.

NEW HAVEN, Sept s.-Capt anu I. Ira
pock, secretary Of the State Law and Order
League. in discussing the pool selling at the
Charter Oak Park during the grand circuit
races this week. said tonight that the reason
he did not raid the gamlers at the races was
that the law and order League had not been
called upon to make such raids by the local
Hartford authorities. Then he added.
League agents have been on the ground
from day to day and have submitted their
reports. Pool selling has been carried On
In exactly the same spot IA last year, WIN
precisely the same defiant and unblushlng
publicity, seemingly with the same enormous
volume Of gambling business and by me saIne
men in part who were arrested and hned last
year. These men were convinced apparently,
regarded them. wa bound to fall between Two
stools, or that their arrest and Subsequent
fines would be but insignificant items on the eN-
pense side OF their account, not worth heslta-
ton In view Of their rich income during the
week.
We were asked TO locate the responsibility
for the continuance Of this evil, the most gu
EdntiC Of a gambling nature In the state lf-
gllly II appears to be with the West Hart
ford authorities. We do not see how the con-
Clusion can be- avoided that henCefOrth, now
that the legal status l. determined, II l. also
morally with them II pool selling continues
In years TO come. The law gives them a remedy
by providing that the Selectmen may appoint
a requisite number OF special oonstahles to
preserve order and enforce the statutes.
