DIES MONIES. Dec. 1s.-(special.)-The
Iowa commission on the louisiana Pur-
chase exposition at st. Louis is in session
here, holding meetings this forenoon, after
noon and evening, for the consideration of
plans submitted by architects in competi-
ton for the Iowa building at st. Louis.
The commission had invited Iowa archt-
tects to submit plans for a building, the
cost TO be not to exceed 1000 for the
building alone. II is the intention to spend
about $4,000 on the building and its fur
nishings. The commission met today to
receive the plans and hear from the archi-
tects, all the members being present except
one. Plans we're submitted by sixteen
architects or firms as follows: Liebbe,
Noursc & Rasmussen, Des Moines; Proud
foot & Bird, Des Moines; Smith & Gage,
Des Moines; w. c. Barton, Des Moines;

CdllOuSt tue tAulDlllOu SuOHiub u great
variety Of designs, but the commission was
unable to decide at once on the plan to be
used.
Terms of Telephone settlement.
The terms OF the telephone strike settle
ment we're made known today. The COM
pact entered into between the strikers and
the Iowa Telephone company provides for
liberal wages, but not for formal r~ecogni-
ton of the union. This latter was what
caused the delay in reaching final terms,
but the labor unions were confronted with
expensive litigation, which would cause I'M
necessary expense and the labor leaders
decided that they ought to make the best
terms possible and quit. The contracts
call for nine hours a day labor and the
eight remaining strikers shall be put to
work before January /. The telephone
operators shall receive wages from SIS to
$50 a month end s1.25 a day for Sunday and
holiday work. The agreement is generally
satisfactory to all parties and was signed
UP today. A stipulation also was filed in
the federal court for dismissal OF the in
junction case and division OF the costs.
TAxIdermists Not Exempt.
The Iowa supreme court decided today
that the iowa game law make no excep-
llOu III ldNOI OF ldAlQeTmlStS VINO are col
lecting game birds for scientific purposes.
A man named Field was arrested in Black
hawk county for having in his possession
several quails in violation OF the game
laws of the state. The district court dis
missed the case on the ground that there
is an exception made in favor of texider-
mists, and he had shown that he wanted
quails to be mounted for the State Normal
school. The state appealed the case to get
a ruling and the supreme court decided the
exception does not extend to game birds.
