Des Moines, March 10.-The Iows
committee on the dedication OF thu
Shiloh monuments is in session today
Messrs Bell, Godfrey, Grossly, Nc.
Intire. and Hayes being present.
has already been decided that one O.
the Iowa men or perhaps several of tht
committee, shall go to Shiloh on Apri
4 6 when the Indiana monuments are te
| be dedicated. The Indiana people have
erected monuments on the battlefield
! which are said to be somewhat finel
! than those of Iowa and they cost lit
tie more money. but the Iowa monu-
ments now being placed are declared
| to be very handsome works and entirely
satisfactory to those who have become
| familiar with them. The Iowa COM
mission has not yet perfected the ar
arrangements and the program and de-
sires some pointers from the Indiana
/ commission, when that dedication
takes place. The members OF the Iowa
commission were all cordially invited
to attend the Indiana dedication. AS
for changing the route from trip OF
200 miles sup the Tennessee river on
a steamboat to trip around by the
way Of Memphis by rail and a drive
across the country that has not yet
been decided. The transportation Iues-
ton Is to De handled by special COM
Imittee. The objection urged to the
trip by the way Of Memphis is that
| there is no hotel at Shiloh and no place
for the people to remain they could
lstay butt one day. Now it is proposed
that the governor and his military staff
shall accompany the party and there
will be several hundred of the visitors.
| If they go to Paducah and take a
steamboat and up the river across Ken
lucky and Tennessee, the steamboat
and the. whole party Will live on the
steamboat. The Iowa dedication is to
occur on Memorial day.
DR.. NJ. N. Voldeng, of the State hos
pital at Cherokee, made a suggestion
|at the conference here this week that
will call for some legislative action
If it Is deemed of immediate import
ance. He called attention to the fact
OF the difficulty of securing trained
scientic knowledge and skill for use in
the state hospitals. Specialists are
needed. Insanity is q great study and
there is yet much to learn about it.
But to secure even fairly competent
persons to go into state hospital, for
the care of the insane is no easy task.
Therefore Superintendent Voldeng,
taking up the suggestions of others,
elaborated somewhat on the necessity
for some special institution for train
ing specialists in this work. He sug-
gested something of this sort in con-
nection with the state university. 1t
is matter which will have to be con-
sidered some time. In a way the work
has already been taken up so far as it
relates to nurses. AT the state hos
pital at independence there has been.
maintained training school for nurses
for number of years and with great
success. and great many of the nurses
in all four of the state hospitals and
been trained there.
All the superintendents of the state
institutions who attended the confer
epce this week report on the prepar-
ations for farming and gardening this
year that they are making greater
preparations than ever made before. At
dependence, for instance, a hundred
acres of potatoes will be put in very
soon. Superintendent Crumpacker
states that the big farm will be divided
up into many farms and a great VAR
iety of things will be grown. There
will be a good many acres of oats.
The gardens will occupy large part of
the farm. They hope to equal this
year the record of year before last in
when they secured "a
900 quarts. They grow broom corn for
their brooms and every variety of
vegetable and small fruit. The state
farms have nearly all been enlarged
since last spring by the pur-
chase Of many acres of ground. This
year will show the value of this eX-
tensive farming for the state.
Somewhat sensational stories have
been coming from Pueblo Col. re-
Gently in relation to Captain Hull, In
which it is stated that his sister IN
making a fight on the will of the late
DR.. A. Y. Hull, has made hard allie
cations against the chairman of the |
committee of the house. 1t is
but just to Captain Hull to state that |
while there are many, especially poli- |
ticians, who are ready to believe al |
most anything of him, and do believe
that he and his friends stole that NOM
nation away from Judge Prouty, they
place little credence in these sensa-
tional stories. The sister in question is
quite wealthy but has been something
Of an adventures, was two or three
times married. and while shining as a
society favorite, has not been in high
favor among those who know her. 1t /
IS expected Captain Hull will be home
tomorrow and make satisfactory ex-
The latest police scandal In Des
Moines is entirely within the sacred
precincts of city hall. City jailer got
drunk; failed to know whether the
;ell doors were locked and the chief of
police bounced him out. This is an
offset to various stories which havel
