Special to Times Republican.
Des Moines. Feb 21.-Unless all signs
fail the republicans of the state are to
he invited to participate in some meas
sure in the long-standing sectional quar-
rel between the Two parts of the city OF
Des Mones. No sooner had the an
rouncement been made that Judge
Bishop would be candidate for the su-
i,reme bench than the cry was raised /
that he would be bitterly opposed by the
Republicans OF the east side" The I
complaint they make is that he rem
sde red a decision in the court house con-
tToversy which WAS contrary 10 what /
they desired. OF course it doesn't make
any difference whether it was in accord /
Eance with the law and the evidence OF
rot--it is sufficient tor some persons 70
know that it was a decision they re-
sarded as unfavorable to their pocket /
books. So they are saying that Bishop
must be slaughtered. A judge has more
opportunities to make enemies than all
most any other officer or pubic seiv
amt. Judge Bishop has handled suti :
cient number OF cases to bring down
upon him the wrath of a few persons in !
this county. Ii they can possibly do so
they Will induce the republicans of the
,state to take up the court house contro-I

state superintendent Barrett has
deemed it necessary to come out in
defense of his Office in the matter of
Printing documents for the use Of the
schools This was hardly necessary. 1t
is true that the superintendent of pub
llic instruction has authority directly
conferred on him to do certain printing
and that he has fulfilled his duty with
llcut consultations with the self-appointed
guardians Of the public treasury at the
state house, hutit can not be charged
against him that he has exceeded his
lauthroity or been extravagant. Iowa
people are generally In favor of the
lfetterment of the schools and the school
system in any and every possible way
land they are not disposed to criticise
those who take forward steps.
/ A Des Moines woman got into trouble
/ and out again the other day in a way
somewhat frauglt with risk She went
Ito Madrid. Boone and a number of 9th
Ter towns and solicited orders for an
| ca stern woman's magazine. apparently
without any direct authority from the
publishers. and in addition to pronis-
Ling the magazine she promised three
Handsome pictures. After making some
1 collections in these various towns she
returned to Des Moines, but failed to-
/ send in the cash until reminded of it
I by justice of the peace at Boone. Four
/ persons placed the matter in his hands
The woman Immediately RENTED the
money to him to be refunded to these
four and sent the rest to the publisher.

/ had a family of three to support be-
s;des myself. as am a widow. Neces.
1 sity compelled me to use that money at
that time. and as was not obliged to
| send it in at once to get the magazine
on time / expected to have 1t. Circum-
/ stances prevented it. but am thankful
THAT have been able TO borrow the
money at this time" 1t is probable the
woman will not try the plan again
One of the oldest habitues of the state
house will soon drop out. This is d. w.
Johnson, who has been janitor ever
since the first offices were moved into
the new capitol and was jaintor in the
old state house. He was In the govern
olr's rooms at one time, then in the sec
retary of states rooms and lately in the

4 The delay in the matter of the selec-
tion of chancellor for the law depart
ment of the Iowa State University is
leausing some wonderment among the
friends of the various candidates for the
Iosition. They regard it as an unfavor-
able sign. 1t is learned that the law
tcommittee of the faculty, or some men,
kers thereof have planned trip east
during the next few weeks to make an
investigation of the merits of some of
1 the persons whose names have been
proposed or to look up new candidates.
