mnking arrangements for the reception
|of President Roosevelt and his party
without anything more serious than a
Iriot. Thus far the committees have
Idone very well. No blood has been
shed and the factional feeling is being
lkept, down by liberal application OF
cold water. AS a matter OF fact the
whole movement for reception to the
president has been entered upon Win
a great deal OF distrust and some III
feeling.. In the first place Gov. cum
lrnins was Invited by Secretary Cortel-
lvou. when he was still with the presi-
Ident to arrange for the contemplated
Visit last year. Gov. Cummins really
turned 1t over to the mayor ana ap-
tpointed a committee In con1unctloh
with the mayor This time Secretary
Loeb placed the matter entirely IN the
hands OF the city officials. 1t is charged
Iby some of the knowing ones that THIS
Twas done at the solicitation OF Capt
Hull who saw the president last, ana
Iwho wanted it fixed so he would pe
lmost conspicuous. The mayor named
la new committee, tho he at first prom
Used he would name again the old com
Imittee. This committee proceeded to
iarrange for the visit OF the prestdent.
Ian ran smoothly untili was discovered
}that the president OF the Commercial
Exchange, who was acting with the
general committee, had sought to keep
lpeace in the family by inviting the
tgoyernor and Congressman Hull to rldes
lin the carriage with the president ana.
This private secretary. This was an
ideal scheme as between the congress
imam and the governor. He admitted
lthat it was done at the instance OF the
Feongressman and in his interest But
{ s.ac nortly ma or OF the city Ii'ias os's''
lection. Brenton got rigtteously indig- =
Inant to think that he was to be sheived
In the interest of congressman and
he demanded his rights. The commit
ttee appointed had decided the persons
who should ride in the carriage should
ibe Gov. Cumnlins and Mayor Brenton.
| The disposition Of Capt, Hull is yet to
tbe made. And so the arrangements
tare complete. The president and his
Iparty are to be in Des Aloines for nearly
1.-TWO hours In the middle OF the after
noon Tuesday, April %. The partyswlll
/ be met at the train by the reception
| committee and will be escorted about
Ithe city for long drive. Everything
win be out OF doors. The parade will
pass public buildings and colleges and
schools, and the college students and
1.-THE school children will be massed In
great numbers to see the president.
| The party will proceed to the state ca p
itol grounds where the speaking Will
occur The parade will not be an ex-
ltensive affair. The president and his
private secretary will ride in carriage
with Gov. Cummins and Mayor Bren-
lton. There will be military escort
consisting of Adjutant General Byers
| and the entire military staff Of the.
governor. with the four colonies of
| Iowa regiments and other regimental
Iofflcers in the city. 1t is possible that
the two companies of the guard and
the signal corps will be in line, and they
can easily turn out 100 men. The pres
lident will be welcomed to Iowa by the
governor and will be expected to speak
| to those who are. assembled on the
state house grounds. There will be the
usual decorations and music.
At the last meeting of the Iowa State
Veterinary Society held in Dubuque,
| lreSolution was passed setting forth
THAT 1t has been "the experience of all
Institutions of learning that in order
| to accomplish the best results II has
been necessary that each division
should have at its head a highly qualt-
fled man in the knowledge OF that par
ticular branch of the science, and that
the deanship Of the veterinary depart
ment OF the Iowa State College at Arnes
remains vacant, therefore that the as
sociation request the trustees to place
| a veterinarian in that position. This
| resolution was laid before the trustees
|and at their last meeting 1t was referred
| to the committee on agriculture.
will probably remain there indefinitely.
| 1t is understood that the resolution was
1 in the interest of someone who is anx-
Iious to have the title OF dean of the
veterinary department affixed TO MS
name. There are two members or the
Icollege faculty who are In the veterln-
ary work. The late President Beard
shear was dean of the department. AT
present it is vacant. The veterinarians
| or few OF them, want change In
| the program, but members OF the board
are not ready to grant It,
/
| Only two or three of the democrats
who are to attend the conference today
arrived in the city last evening. Ihere
| is entire lack Of interest IN the mattef
among the democrats of Des Molhes.
The inspiration must all come from
the outside. 1t is understood that one
OF the chief purposes of the conference
| is to be an effort to secure the es-
Establishment in Des Moines of dem
ocratic newspaper. This city is wholly
without this useful adjunct. There is
a weekly paper here called the Demo
crat. but one might read 1t for a year
and not discover that the editor knows
the difference between tariff schedule
| and the book of Psalms. If Hearst
comes, and he is certainly expected, an
effort is to be made to induce him to
spend some of his money running
democratic newspaper In Des Moines.
