has been convicted by the committee
on privileges and elections of bribery
and corruption in securing former
election to the senate and as the sen
tence of expulsion was cvaded by his
resignation the senate might with pro
priety declare him not a suitable man
TO become a member of that body and
order his expulsion. Under the consti-
tuition either branch of congress may
Judge of the qualifications of its mem

Senator Chandler, who was Clark $
chief antagonist two years ago. will
no longer be chairman of the commit
tee on privileges and elections. No
suggestion has been made as to his
successor. AS a result Of Mr.. Clark \
former election charges were filed al

A Valuable Kossuth Estate Found

Liable Under State Law.
Special to Times Republican.
Algona, April 5.-The county attorney
of Kossuth county has reported to the
state treasurer the existence of an es-
tate in Kossuth county worth between
$4,000 and 500, 900 which is liable to the
s per cent collateral inheritance tax un-
der the Iowa. law. The Kossuth attor-
ney reported the facts as follows: The
estate is owned and operated on the
plan of the South Amana Society, 80
we'll known in Iowa. 1t originally be-
longed to five individuals, who executed
a trust deed June 80. 1896. declaring
themselves the trustees OF the large es-
tate, which, on the death of any one OF
them, was to go in full to the surviving
four. On the second of last July Maria
Schneider, one of the five, eied, and on
the second of last January another,
Maria Anna Becker, also died, leaving
the estate to the surviving three, Harry
Deeper. Maria Anna Leichtag and Ma
ria Anna Weber. None OF the five were
direct heirs of the any of the rest, and
none have other living heirs. the trust
deed for the property provided that 1t
should revert to church in Germany
at the death OF the entire company.
Az in the South Amana Society es-
tates it has been decided that the liabil-
ity to the Inheritance tax exists. there
is no doubt that the Kossuh county es-
tate is subject to the same liability.
The estate is worth about 100000 and
Will yield something like $4,000 revenue

Olmstead, the presept inspector gen
eral of the Iowa National Guard.
Congressman j. A. T. Hull, chairman
or the military afrairs committee of the
house. upon whose recommendation the
appointment Will be made has given
Maj. Oimstead his personal assurance
that he car have the position If he
wants 1t, and as Maj. Olmstead has in
dicated that he does want 1t, there can
hardly be any doubt but that he will be
the fortunate man. He is graduate
of West Point and has served his active
period of service in the United States
army. having been retired about two
years ago on account of the age limit.
On the reorganization OF the guard he
was made inspector general and as such
has served for two years. 1t is UNDER
stood that when he gets his new posi-
ton he will retain his position in the
guard unless 1t is that his new duties
will occupy too much of his time and
that he will be unable to give the guard
the attention it demands. This posi-
ton carries with 1t the pay OF major
in active service and is avery desirable
position. The many friends OF Mai.
Olmstead will be pleased to know Of his
appointment. This position is filled by
the war department from among either
the retired list of the army Or some one
in active service. Maj. Olmstead's home
is in Des Molnes and he has many
friends who have urged him for the
place. 1t is not disputed that he is en-
tirely competent for the position and
will make valuable man. He will
probably remove to Naann city and
will make his headquarters In; I'D city.
