/ 1)es Moines, July Pit is probable
4 that when the record of the year is full
\ ly made up it Will be found that this
4 has been a record breaking year for
Iowa in the matter of buildings, as Well
with private buildings as with public.
The new buildings to be constructed by
the board of control at various insti-
4 tutions, and al the various educational
institutions, and the new court houses
and other buildings, will make a fine
showing for Iowa. The plans are being
prepared for the new central building
at the state college at .Ames, and today
the regents of the state university eN-
pect to let contracts for the new build
iings for the medical school. Governor
| lCummns and State Superintendent
Jarrett expect to attend the meeting at
Iowa City. The plans for these build
ings Were made here in Des Moines and
they will call for the $4,000 available.
| One of the buildings TO be contracted
/ for ut this time is the large medical
LABORATORY, ana iue OllSI 10 W pC uss,t
as an anatomical laboratory. Both are
to be completed next year Both will
be OF cut stone and brick of handsome
exterior. Just what plan is to be used
for the new main building AT Ames has
not yet been disclosed, but it will be an
imposing affair, We'll worthy OF the
great college of agriculture.
II J.,ir
sioner for Iowa, has just returned from
Portland, Ore. where he attended the
national association of food and dairy
commissioners There We're fifteen
states represented by about seventy
persons, including the food and dairy
commissioners deputies, attorneys and
others interested, and with their wives
and daughters the body made 100.
The matter which was considered more
than any other and with perhaps more
satisfaction, was that of the bill for
.ia,loAal Rood tpa tnsC,(s, N4th
tional commissioner under the secre-
tary of agriculture. and with assistants
and inspectors. Several previous con-
ventions have indorsed this movement.
The convention this year contented it
self with perfecting the details of the
measure. which was presented by Mr..
Hamilton, the veteran advocate of this
measure. The bill was gone over and
all the details considered and it will be
urged upon congress with all the force
of the commissioners and persons con- |
nected with the departments. 1t pro-
vides for the branding of all food prod |
ucts that are adulterated and state
ment of the exact contents of all pack
ages that do not contain the pure and
unaduiterated stuff. There is punish- |
ment for those who adlterate with
injurious substances. The pure food
law which was prepared by the Iowa
academy of sciences and introduced in
the legislature last winter in Iowa re-
ceived scant consideration, but the
commissioners all feel that if the con-
gress will enact a national law it will
then be much easier to secure state
legislation.
AT the recent meeting of the Iowa
State Pharmaceutical Association in
Sioux City the state board of pharmacy
held AN examination of applicants for
Pharmacists certificates and forty
five We're given examination. But four |
teen were successful, as follows: Will !
lam j. Becker, Sioux City; \. Il. George |
Lake View: A. d. Sager Dexter; |
George w. Shipley. Sheldon: a. N.
Schmidt. George; A. n. Smith, Win |
terset: T.. Sherman, Washington; j. j.
Glasen. Fonda; NJ. r., Johnson, Usage:
Fred c. Mayer, Cedar Rapids: f. H. /
Oerte. Otto; b. f. Shreves ST. Charles; |
A. r. SchlitZ. Remsen: r. III. Rhoden,
NIodale The percentage of successful 7
applicants was larger than in several of |
the classes which have been examined, /
as the pharmacy board finds that a
great many of the applicants are in
competent and the standard is being
kept high.
1t is probable that the Iowa delegates
to the national encampment of the G..
a. r.. at Washington in the fall Will
vote for Thomas j. Stewart, of Penn
sylvania for commanders in-chief of
the Grand Army. Stewart is the pres
ent adiutanI general of the national
guard OF PENNSYLVANIA. He was n cam
didate last year but was beaten by
Gen. Ell Torrance. of Minnesota and
there was Il sort of understanding that
the friends of Torrance would this year
support Stewart. John NlcltlroN. of
Washington, the leading other candi-
date, is also favorably known to the
Iowa people. He has been a newspaper
man all his life. Assistant Adjutant
General Newman declares that the
statement which has been published
that Cen. Black. of Illinois. could not
be elected because the Grand Army has
never elected democrat as comman-
does injustice to the
Grand Army boys. because politics cut
no figure and Gen. Black has always
been very popular with the G. y. II.
boys. S
The last session of the Iowa legisla
ture made an appropriation of $500
with which to do honor to the memory
of Charles Shepherd. one of the half
dozen soldiers of the revolution. who lie
buried in Iowa soil. Shepherd WAS !
buried i'm Henry county, not far from
the town of Rome, and near Mills
paugh's Mills. The grave WAS on a
farm where Shepherd passed his last
days, and was for many years entirely
forgotten and not even located. 1t
