Only Maidstone.
E. r. Healy, of Muscatine. has the
only maidstone known to exist in this
state. He has been in Des Moines for
several days doing land Office bust
ness because of the mad dog scare
here. Two Des Moines children who
were bitten by rabid dogs were taken
to the Pasteur institute in Chicago and
the people are thoroughly frightened.
The maidstone which is owned by Mr..
Healy is half an inch thick, and two
by three inches in size. It cost him APP
proximately $500.
Army Maneuvers.
Gov. Cummins is in receipt Of an in-
quiry from the war department as to
the number of local guardsmen who
will participate in the regular army
maneuyres which will take the place
of the annual camps of the state mill
tia organizations. 1t had been sup
posed that not to exceed one regiment
would be able to get into the maneuy-
ers this year, but the governor will
| urge that all four regiments be pro-
vided for by the war department.. The
maneuvers will probably take place at
Fort Riley.
Want Kirkwood Statue.
The recent grand army encampment
in which the veterans who now live in
Iowa participated adopted strong reso-
buttons urging the governor and gem
eral assembly of Iowa to use all eff
forts to secure the erection in the Hall
of Fame at Washington and in the
state capitol in Des Moines Of statue
of the war governor of the state, Sam
uel j. Kirkwood. The also
bitterly denounced the effort which is
being made to have statue of Gen.
Robert i. Lee set up in the Hall Of
Fame.
Exhibit OF Apples,
| The subcommittee in charge of the
Louis exposition is planning the great
est exhibit of apples ever attempted at
any exposition. Other Iowa fruits will
be shown in season and no effort will
be made to make an exhibit of pre-
4 served fruits on account of the ex-
pense attached, but the apple display
will receive the principal attention OF
the committee.
To Test the Law.
The Ministerial association of Des
i Moines has raised $25 with which to
| test the question of whether OF not
baseball can be played In Iowa on Snas
days, An effort will also be made to
ciose the summer theaters, WHICH de.
tract largely from church attendance.
One of these institutions managed by
the street car company of Des Moines
sometimes entertains 10000 people on
Sunday, and the Ministerial association
objects to this competition. The thea
ter runs because there is no charge TO,
admission and when there is no charge
the law and ordinances seem not *
cover the case.

cine five years without molestatior
from the board of medical examiner.
does not entitle him to certificate, j:
the ruling Of the attorney general
The medical practices act required {
certificate to issue to practitioners fol

mean that the five years must have pre-
ceded the passage OF the law. This af
