FOR UNIFORM POLICY.

Hawk Introduced Resolution Along
Line of Board of Control Ideas.
Des Moines, March S.---Hawk of
Jasper, has introduced resolution in
the house which has for its object the
making of appropriations for the edu-
cational institutions of Iowa on uni
form basis, and the turning over of
said institutions to the board of con-
troll. Head Of Green, is in sympathy
with the movement. ana Temple Of
Clarke, was re- orted in the morning
papers to be getting ready to father
the idea in the house.
The resolution went over under the
rules. 1t reads as follows:
Whereas, the state of Iowa is an
nually expanding large sums of money
for the extension and support of the
state educational institutions without
having adopted any settled policy Of
support or any definite plan as to their
relation to, or coordination with each
other, therefore
BE it Resolved That it is the sense
of this house that in order to secure
efficiency, uniformity, harmonious CO.
operation and economy the state edu-
cational institutions should all be
placed under one management and that
some definite policy should be adopted
as to the manner Of their support"

property holdings are in Colorado. The
Iowa code makes a provision for tax
ing corporations having their principal
place of business within the state. The
local representatives refused to make
statement of its taxable property
and the assessor has decided to as.
sess the company on the basis of its
alleged actual value of 100000 as
provided by law. The recent Burns.
Doyle suit for possession of a million
dollars of stock in the company, the
assessors say, forms a basis for calcu.
lation on the value OF the property.
The action OF the city is expected to

MAY NOT GET INTEREST.

Question Whether Iowa VIII Recover
Interest on War Claim Since 1868.
Des Moines, March Adrian Sizer,
the war claim auditor which the
United States government sent to
Iowa to look over the outstanding
civil war claim against the state gov
eminent, has completed his work and
returned to Washington, ID. c. Capt.
J, s. Lothrop, who went over the claim
with the war auditor, expresses the
fear that the state may not receive
interest since the year 1868 when the
princlpal of the war loan was paid
back to the state by the government.
Should this holding be made by the
war department it will cut large
slice out of the amount that the state
is seeking to recover. The auditor
went over all the evidence and figures
most carefully, and carried the data
back to Washington with him, giving
out no intimation of what position he
took in regard to any feature OF the
claim. 1t is hoped that something Will
be heard from the government in
short time in regard to the exact fig
ures which will be recommended for
allowance in the general deficiency
bill. Attorney General Mullan sub
mitted an opinion to the governor in
which he holds that the civil war
bond issue of 100000 of the special
session of the Eighth general assemb-
ly did not begin to draw interest until
delivered to the agent of the state to
negotiate. This opinion may enter in
to final adjudication of the claims.

ARREST A BAD SUSPECT.
Alleged Horse Thief Taken Into
Custody.


Vinton, March S.-Sheriff w. C.
You'll and his deputy. H. A. Seely. af.
ter an all nights very clever piece of
+. work, landed a notorious horsethief,
wanted at Sigourney, where he ex-
changed team of stolen mules for a
team of bay road mares. The arrest
is one of the cleverst pieces of work
that has been done in this section for
years, and it is believed the arrest is
the most important one that has been
made here for a long time and may
break up the gang that has for years
been stealing valuable horses in this
and other counties of the state. The
capture was made at the home of John
Goodfellow, farmer living seven miles
southwest of La Porte City. where the
thief had taken quarters for the night.
The captured man refuses to give his
name. but is a colored man about 35
of 40 years old, weighing about 100
pounds, wears stubby beard and mus
tache. The mules which had been ex.
changed for the team had been stolen
in Missouri.
( The latest developments indicate
that the name of the man arrested Is
Cook, but he claims to be Charlie Will
liams, and that he at one time resided
in or near Cedar Rapids and has been
more or less acquainted in this section
for some time and at several times
wanted for other crimes that have been
charged to him.

head each are on feed. A uniform
bunch of hogs Is following each lot.
The steers are from "a to years of
age, and are high grade Shorthorns,
Hereford and Angus, purchased by Mr..
Cook in Western Nebraska. Hay and
straw will be used for roughage and

of 81 to SO, the democrats and those

The resolution was as follows:

the great agricultural state of Iowa
being duly convinced express our
heartfelt sympathy for the brave Beers
of South Africa in their great struggle
for liberty, and it is our earnest hope
that their present Valley Forge Will

tons. The motion was down viva

An amendment was offered and
passed striking out the words this

of. the house of representatives.
Hawk of Jasper took the floor
against the resolution. He declared
that it condemned and criticised the
policy of the administration at Wash
ington. He did not think that the
house had the right to pass such a
measure. He declared that the real
object of the resolution was covered
up, but that the resolution covertly
and surrepticiously aimed at the policy
of the administration. He therefore
moved that the resolution be laid on
the table.
Nagle, of Van Buren,, seconded the
motion in a short address. Donahue
spoke briefly against the motion, and
a vote resulted as above.

by Board of Control.
Des Moines, March 10.-The house
committee on appropriations, after a
three hours session Saturday, recon-
mended for passage ,Le omnibus bill
containing the appropriations for the
institutions under the board of con-
troll. The committee cut down the
amounts asked by the board on a
small number of items and struck out
few entirely, reducing the total that
was requested by $3S,100. The bill as
recommended for passage carried with
it total appropriation of $731, 577.50
IN extraordinary appropriation. This
Is distinct from the amount allowed by
the state in per capita support.
While the appropriations committee
cut down the total asked by the board
by the amount named. $3S,100, it also
inserted in the omnibus bill one item
larger than the board asked. This is
for additional room and facilities for
hospital purposes at the Soldiers
Home at Marshalltown. In the bien-
NAL report the board of control recon-
mended $4,000 for a woman's hospital,
u n
spected the home, when they appeared
before the committee, urged that more
hospital facilities were necessary, ow.
ing to the increasing age and infirmi-
ties of the inmates, and indicated these
were more imperatively demanded
than a woman's hospital. To this the
board of control makes no objection.
as in recommending $4,000 for wo-
mans hospital it followed the recon-.
mendation of Commandant Horton.
The omnibus appropriation bill as
recommended does not include S13S, 900

for the hospital at Cherokee OF the
total, $4,000 is for the purchase of
additional land. For additional land
at the Soldiers Orphans Home at
