Concerning the challenge of the Mar

News says:
Some time ago the News published
challenge from the Marshalltown bowl
ing team to q series of seven games TO
be played on Marshalltown alleys not
later than April %. The Boone team
accepted the challenge with one change
and that was that games must be play
ed on neutral alleys. The time, purse
and all conditions were left for the
Marshalltown bowlers to decide. The
challenge was accepted and Captain
McNerrey replied to that effect. This
morning he received a letter from the
Times Republican of Marshalltown
saving that the tournament would take
place in Dubuque not later than the
25th.
1.-The Schreiner alleys are perfectly
neutral to Boone bowlers but are not
so to the Marshalltown team. About
three weeks ago they played the
Dubuque boys a tournament on these
alleys and lost. Mr. Scott T. Owings,
manager of the Marshalltown team,
wants the tournament on the Dubuque
alleys. He very well knows that these
alleys are not neutral so far as he is
concerned. All the members of his
team have played on them and know
Just what they are. In Des Moines
there are four new Drexel alleys that
neither team has played on and these
are the ones that were mentioned in
Boone's acceptance. Marshalltown is
Unreasonable in wanting Boone to go
so far at this time as the Boone team

THE LIVESTOCK REVIEW.

Supplies of Cattle and Hogs Small and
Prices Advanced.
Chicago, April Last weeks col
lapse of prices is checking the market
ing of cattle, today's receipts being on
ly about 1880 or 1900 less than was
anticipated. The moderate Monday
supply made buyers more eager to take
hold and prices ruled strong.
Hogs-There was an unexpectedly
light supply this morning, receipts be-
ing only about $4,000 against 42461
last Monday. The meager supply
caused great activity buyers being
obliged to do some hustling in order to
secure their proportion of offerings and
prices quickly advanced 2 cents per
hundred. Hogs sold at 6.35@7.05, the
top price beating all previous records
this year by cents per hundred.
Sheep-With estimated receipts of
1900 today against 1852 last Monday,
prices ruled firm for choice lots and
prime lambs from Colorado brought

vious sale this season.

Fort Dodge, April Hon. Geo. e.
ROBBERS, director of the United States
mint, is visiting at his home in this city,
en- route to San Francisco on business
trip. In speaking today of the report
which is in general circulation to the
effect that he had ordered the work
discontinued on the mint at Denver.
with the alleged purpose of limiting
the coinage Of gold, Mr.. Roberts said:
Nothing could be more absurd than
the suggestion that the director of the
mint may limit the coinage of gold. He
could not if disosed to. The minis of
then United States are open by law to
the free coinage of gold, and bound to
receive all that is brought to them.
The construction of the new mint at
Denver has been delayed by the insolv-
ency of contractor, but there is q
government assay Office in that city
which meantime receives bullion and
forwards it at government expense to
the mint at Philadelphia"
Mr.. Roberts said the report of his
disposition to discourage gold produce
ton had it's origin in his opposition to
several bills for the establishment of
new assay offices in recently developed
mining districts. A government assay
office is virtually an outside agency for
g mint Bullion is received, paid for
and transported to the mint at the ex-

If gold is shipped by the mine own
ers there is no other outlay but the
express charges, while If the govern
merit receives it at an assay Office it
must bear not only the same express
charges, but the cost of maintaing the
local establishment with it's salary list
and miscellaneous expenses and usual
ly of an expensive building. With
minis open and coinage free at Phila-
delphia, Denver, and San Francisco,
and assay offices already established at
New York st. Louis, Deadwood, Hell
ena, Boise, Carson, Seattle, and Char
lofts, N. c., the present director has
opposed further extension of the syS-
tenn, holding that the owners of a pro-
ducing gold mine We're as able to de-
liver their product in market as the

He Will Sock Republican Nomination
For Supreme Court Reporter.
Special to Times Republican.
Spencer, April 1.-THE Reporter for
mally announces the candidacy of WI
w. Cornwall of Clay county for the re-
publican nomination for supreme court
reporter. 1t says:
1t is with pleasure that the Reporter
places his name before the republicans
of the state and it is also with a firm
conviction of ultimate success.
Mr.. Cornwall is well equipped for the
duties of the position. His practice of
the law and legislative experience have
given him a training and knowledge of
the work which specially qualify him
for the office.
Graduating from the law department
of the University of Wisconsin in 1881,
he has been in the continuous practice
ever since. He was a member of the
Twenty fifth and Twenty-sixth general
assemblies of Iowa and the extra ses-
sion in 1897, which was called by Gov
err Shaw to revise and codify the en-
tire statute law and of the state, max
| ing three successive sessions of legisla-
eral assembly and the extra session he
was chairman of the judiciary commit
tee of the house, composed of the law
| yers of that body. AT the close of the
extra session he held the confidence
and esteem Of his associates. No more
convicing evidence of the fact could be
| furnished than the action of the house
| of representatives Of. which he was a
member, in electing him one of the
joint committee, composed of three
members of the house and two from the
| senate, to supervise the annexation and
| publication of the new code of 1897
| This was huge task to be accomplish
ed in brief time, and many competent
| to Judge contended it could not be done
But it was done to the general salts
| the people of the state and Mr.. Corn
| wall contributed his time and energy to
| the success of the work without COM
| pensation. 1t proved valuable school,
however and fitted him as few are pre-
| pared to do the work of supreme court
reporter, which is along the same line
Mr.. Cornwall has wide and favor
able state acquaintance and assurances
of support from many prominent lead
ers of the party. His candidacy will
receive strong support thruout the
state and the Reporter looks confident
! ly forward to his nomination by the
next state convention.
