Then the Iowa students went to the big
stock show at Chicago and carried OIL
everything, including the famous Spoor
trophy. This gave the school great
boom and students have come from all
directions to learn the elements of stock
Judging. The school is in charge of Pro-
fessor C. F. Curtiss, with corps of as
sistants. Last week the school was vis-
tied by the president and architect OF

fame of the school had penetrated, and
they are planning to establish similar
school for the Canadians Among the
students there are several instructors on
the faculties of colleges in other states
who desire to perfect themselves In the
science of stock judging. There are sew
eral graduates of big New England col-
leges and universities and the class con-

vas highly pleasing to his friends. He
demonstrated as never before that he is
truly great orator. He spoke with in

him will not doubt that he meant every

Special to Times Republican.
Des Moines. Jan. 1.-THE Iowa COM
mission to the Louisiana Purchase ex-
position in st. Louis, held meeting to-
day. There was good attendance of
members. Many had come to attend
the Inauguration ceremonies and re-
mained over and several were also in
terested In the editorial association
meeting. The chairman of the commits
sion, ex-Lieut Gov. Milliman. presided.
The chief matter was the report of the
committee on plan and scope.
Chairman Leach, Of Adel said last
evening, in regard to plans for the Iowa
exhibit at st. Louis next year:
"Our committee went to ST. Louis ard
looked over the grounds of the exposi-
ton. They have magnificent grounds
and will have all the space that is
needed for all purposes. The idea of
the exposition promoters is to have
certain place set apart for the build
ing of the state which were made out of
the original Louisiana purchase. They
will be grouped together so that the
visitor can comprehend at glance the
greatness of the empire the purchase of
which this exposition celebrates. The
idea is an excellent one. Missouri will
put up a building In this group to cost
$500, 600. Iowa. as in many respects the
greatest state in this group, ought to
have fine building. We cannot afford
to be rot represented in fitting man
ner. The members OF the commission
believe that the state ought to be just
and fair and provide for a proper ex-
hibit.
WE have had plans drawn for a
building, or rather two or more prelim-
mary plans. One is for building to
cost $4,000; but in fact we ought TO put
500 600 into building at st. Louis and
the state could use s250,o00 for all pur-
poses well. At any rate Iowa must have
a building at the exposition and be we'll
repnEanted at al, the exhibits"
The insurance companies and repre-
sentatiyes in Iowa have kept pretty
close record of the fire losses in this
state during recent years and they find
that the losses in the year 1901 We're
meaSuraDly larger tlan IN any year III
the history of the state The heaviest
losses were in Des Moines and Daven-
port where three quarters of million
dollars worth of property was con-
sumed In each day. The big fire in Dav-
enport included great lumber yard
and manufacturing district. In Des
Moines an immense department store
and big starch factory were lost The

The Wa.kinaten Program.

Washington, Jan. 1.-THE time OF the
cabinet meeting today was largely occu-
pied in the discussion of the formality
to be followed upon the occasion of the
visit of Prince Henry Of Prussia. 1t is
the desire OF the president to show the
prince every honor BETTING him as a
prince Of the royal blood and as the per-
eonal relative and kinsman of the Ger
man emperor. But at the same time the
program Is to be as simple as possible.
Precedents in the case OF the visits of
the prince OF Wales and Grand Duke
Alexis Of Russia have been carefully
looked up and will be followed where ap-
plicable. The program as far as agreed
upon is as follows: Upon the arrival of
the prince in New York he will be met
by the squadron under the command of
Rear Admiral Evans and the national
salutes of twenty lone guns be fired both
by the warships and shore batteries.
Visits of courtesy will be made upon the
prince by the commander Of the Depart
ment of the east and the ranking naval
officer at New York and Assistant Sec
retary of State Hill probably will also
formally welcome the prince as the special
representative of the president. When
the prince reaches Washington he will
become the guest OF the German ambas-
eador According to precedent 1t will be
the duty of the prince to call upon the
president, who will return the visit
A dinner Will be given at the white
house In the princes honor. The details
Of the program will be worked out at the
etate department and when completed
Will be given out there. 1t was decided
that all arrangements for Henry's reeep-
tion should be confided to special COM
