Des Moines, Oct. S.-The iowa COM
mission on the Iowa exhibit at the st.
Louis exposition has site for a build
ing on the grounds of the exposition
that is regarded as one of the very best
OF all those assigned to the states and
territories. These buildings are all in.
the south part of Forest Park. There
are drives and avenues cut thru the
forest and the buildings are to be
grouped about in irregular fashion.
But there is one nearly straight promi-
nent avenue leading nearlyaa quarter OF
a mile due south from the government
building, then dividing before 1t quite
reaches the route of the interurban
railway at the south. 1t is parallel with
the great avenues to the east of Forest
Park. The Iowa building is to be To-
Gated right where the main avenue
forks, thus. facing the avenue. so that
one standing in the front door of the
Iowa building will be able to look down
the avenue and to the government
building. Near the Iowa building are
the sites for. the buildings of Kansas,
California, New Mexico. Kentucky and
other states. The preliminary plans
prepared by Dielnan & Fiske, of Cedar
Rapids, which are likely to be adopted
as the basis for the Iowa building, show
a frame structure 122xS2 feet, two
stories high, with imposing dome and
high outlook. There is a place from
which visitors may survey the whole
grounds high up, wide verandas in.
front and at the ends. The architect
ure is simple and imposing. On the
interior are three large rooms, each one
45x3O feet, and these may be thrown
together to make one great hall in
which meetings can be held If neces-
sary. There are rooms for exhibition
purposes and for committee rooms and
receptions. "A building. like this one, or
with slight notifications, would give
asawn good standing among the states,
SO FAR as a building cansmake 1t. The
site is one that will be the envy of
other states and was given Iowa be-
cause the ST. Louis commissioners de-
sired that Iowa should have a place all
most the equal of Missouri. The site
first selected for Iowa is now to be
taken by Kansas The plans for a
building prepared by Proudfoot & Bird,
of Des Moines. are very similar to
those by the Cedar Rapids firm.
There will be no contests before the
state elections board this year. ALI of
the papers for nominations were filed
regularly and in time and nobody
makes any objection to any of them.
But several nominees failed utterly to
get their papers in and their names will
not go on the official ballots. The NOM
nees for the vacancy in the house.
caused by the death of Representative
Walden, of Wayne county, failed to file
their papers. Neither sthe democrats
nor the prohibitionists filed papers in
the Third judicial district and it is un-
derstood they made nominations
against Towner and Parrish. The pro-
hibitonists had a nominee for congress
in the Eighth district and intended to
get his name on the ticket, but me-
elected the matter. A misunderstand-
ing appears to have been made with
reference to the nomination papers for
Judge Dyer in the Eleventh judicial
district. He is now serving by appoint
ment of the governor. At the time he
was appointed the republican conven-
Ftion had already nominated w. D. Ev-
ans, of Hampton, for successor to
Judge Kenyon. Dyers nomination was
made because Judge Evans was not
ready to go on the bench. There is no
conflict between Dyer and Evans. The
name of Dyer will go on the ticket to
fill vacancy and Evans for the full
term beginning next January.
Commissioner Brigham, of the state
labor bureau, is confident that the an
thracite coal strike will be ended soon.
he has been of this opinion several
days. What I look to see" said Mr..
Brigham in speaking Of the matter, "is
that the miners will go back to work
with an understanding that some action
will be taken to provide that they shall
not always be compelled to work at
starvation wages. If that assurance is
given they will have gained great
moral victory. They can say what
they please about John Mitchell being
only miner, but he demonstrated that
he is a great man and that he had
greater capacity to meet the situation
than the big railroad and coal presi-
dents.'
Five distinguished lawyers of the
state constitute the law commission for
the examination of candidates for adj
mission to the bar. They with the at
torney general constitute the eXamin-
ing board. Members receive SIS day
for their services while conducting the
examinations, the questions for the
written examination having been pre-
viously prepared by the attorney gen
eral. The candidates pay $5 each for
examination. The fees from the young
lawyers have never paid the per diem
of the examining commission and the
supreme court has made it up out OF
the contingent fund.
