Des Moines, June 27.-Gov. Stanley,
of Kansas, is due to arrive in Des
Moines at o'clock this evening and to
speak to the class of students at the
osteopath institute in this city in few
minutes after his arrival. He VIII be
introduced to the audience by Gov.
Shaw. If he shall remain long enough
he will be shown about the city by the
governor of Iowa in his new automo-
mile break, which is the most preten-
tious vehicle which has ever been
brought to the state. Gov. Stanley is.
claimed by the osteopaths as firm be-
lever in their way of diagnosing and
curing various human ailments. The
baccalaureate sermon was delivered by
Rev. DIR. II. o. Breeder, of this city, one
of the most conspicuous ministers of
the gospel in the state and man of
wide learning. An address was deliv-
cred by Judge Bishop. Ex-Chlef JUS
tice Cole is of the college faculty. In
fact, whether osteopathy is something
which has come to supplant the practice
of medicine or is only fad whicn will
have its day and run out. it remains
true that the osteopaths in Des Moines
are able 10 command the attention of
lot of great and good men who ought to
know all about human ailments and
how to cure them. The college here,
which Is under the direction of Col. A.
b. Shaw, has been wonderfully success
full in securing students and putting
them quickly into the practice of osteo
pathy. There is not that feeling against
osteopathy here which is manifested In
some places and there is no general de-
sire that they shall rot be permitted to
practice osteopathy just as dentists are
permitted to practice dentistry and
pharmacists to practice their profession.
Gov. STANLEY comes all the way from
Topeka especially 70 attend this ser
vice at the osteopathy institute in Des
Moines.

the city holding a meeting with Secre-
ltary Van Houten for tha purpose of
attending Ia routine matters connected
with the work of preparing for the an
nual stats fair, They come from differ
ent portions of the state and in ceinpar-
ing notes yesterday on farm and crop
conditions they found that there is a
vast difference between the crops In
northern ard in southern iowa this
year Mr. Johnston says that In COM
ing southwark he observed that crops
do not look as We'll. that the corn fields
are not of uniform excellence that while
there are some fields that look we'll
there are many others that do no. look
as good Mr.. Frazier reported that th.,
corn along the south line of the state S
for from being in good condition The
best corn in Iowa this year is in the
northern part, where the land was in
condition so that the planting could be
done early. The two men agree that it
Will be oats that will be valuable next
winter. The crop is not good anywhere
and the acreage is apparently light
The hay crop will be good over
most of the state, but in the northern
part of the state the vast fields which
We're open for the hay makers are now
in corn and wheat and there Is not the
money to be made in hay that was
made in other years. III ,s wonderful
said Mr.. Johnston last evening, what
transformation can take place in Iowa
in a week or two. There we were with
cold weather and unreasonable eondi-
tions and the crops oked sickly-then
we got the hot and wet weather and in
two weeks the whole state looked like
garden. That is the thing about iowa
which makes it so vaiuante Both Mr..
Johnston and Mr. Frazier report land
sales as frequent and at good prices.
The people are land hungry and are
buying land at prices which would have
been regarded as foolish few years
ago.
1t was all false alarm about Chair
man Hoffman ard National Secretary
Walsh having given up Iowa entirely
to become residents of democratic Mis-
souri,. They deny they are to become
Missourians. Editor Brewster, of the
Otiumwa. Democrat. became alarmed at
the rumor and wrote to Missouri to find
out the plans of the big democrats. He
received letter from George HOFFMAN
in which he said:
Mr.. Walsh and myself are inter-
ested in business matter in ST. Louis.
Mo-, al present, but neither of us will
make Missouri our home The business
is temporary and we will be found in
Iowa working for the election of the en-
tire democratic ticket this fall
From this it would appear that Mis-
souri, is not going to gain two demo-
Gratis but they will be found in politics
in Iowa as usual when the campaign
opens

The local committee of the Odd Fell
lows held meeting last night-to con-
slider the outlook for the sovereign
grand lodge meeting next year The
committees are at work securing neces-
sary funds for properly entertaining the
the grand lodge If it should come to Des
Moines, in accordance with the invita-
tlon of the Iowa grand lodge. and they
believe that the funds will be secured
altho to the present time the pledges
have not been as generous as they could
wish. The invitation of the Iowa grand
lodge is specially for Des Moines and
Des Moines people are expected to raise
a sum which, with what the grand lodge
