ployes at Des Moines.

Special to Times-Republican
Des Moines, Jan. Ex-Governor Shaw
made the rounds of the state house of
fees yesterday afternoon and bade fare
we'll to the heads of the departments and
employees. The governor called at each
office and shook hands with those pres
ent. He has just returned from Denison,
where he was the guest of honor at a
farewell celebration and where, before
coming to Des Moines, he completed the
disposition of his private affairs. He and
Mrs. Shaw will leave for Washington on
Monday evening and by Feb. 1 he will
enter on his duties as secretary of the
treasury
Last evening several friends called on
Governor Shaw at the Victoria, among
them Capt. Amos Brandt, deputy audi
tor of state, who presented him with
handsome ebony cane from the Philip
pines. The cane was accompanied by
two others of the same wood and style,
to be turned over to President Roosevelt
and Secretary Wilson. The canes are
massive and We're brought from Luzon
by Capt Brandt, who says that it will
now be possible for the president and
two members of his cabinet to go out
walking relying on support from Iowa.
