in the following cities of Iowa by the
insurance agents: Dubuque, Daven-
port. Burlington, Ottumwa and Des
Moines. The report in regard TO Des
Moines is that it was only partially or
ganized and that theNcombine did not
get all the insurance men into 1T. AS
a matter Of fact only about half OF
the insurance agents of ioes Moines
went into the compact and the other
half are making it warm for the fell
lows who want to corral the business
in manner contrary to law. But that
these local organizations have been eff
fected in the cities of Iowa has not been
generally advertised by the insurance
men. The same journals report tina.

are so confident that the courts will
hold the Iowa law invalid that many
of the insurance agents, as indicated
above, are ready to form their local
boards and take their chances on go
ing to the penitentiaries for violation
of the law.
The next term of the Iowa supreme
court will be held commencing Octo-
Der g. That lawyers do not all keep in
close touch with the law nor read the
newspapers to their profit, is shown by
the fact that many of the attorneys
of Iowa have an idea that the new
law providing for more numerous terms
of court in the state is now in force
when in fact it is not yet operative.
They write in to the clerk of the cou t
indicating that they suppose they must
now file under the new law, and IN
many ways indicate that they do not
know the new system does not begin
until next year.
Gen. Byers of the National guard
has just designated the men who are
invited to prepare themselves for the
Iowa guard team to shoot for the
Washburn trophy in competition with
teams of guardsmen from other states
at Lake Park, Mimi, Sept. 81 next.
Twenty men have been selected on
their scores as marksmen at the last
state shoot and on their records for
several years, and these twenty are to
be furnished with the new Springfield
rifles and 500 rounds of ammunition
and they are to shoot the range twice
each week and send scores to Col.
Morse. When the ammunition is ex-
hausted the inspector of small arms
practice will select his team of ten to
go to Minnesota. The men who are
to try for the honor of being on the
team are:
Col. w. E. H. Morse, Algona.
Capt. Thomas F. Cooke, Des Moines.

The survey of the Western Iowa in
terurban is proceeding somewhat slow
ly. but the work has been practically
completed between Grimes and Dallas
Center and the surveyors are now
working westward from Dallas Center.
The plan is to follow section and half
section lines closely and buy right cf
way, or make contracts for right of
way, at low figures. The surveying
outfit will push on toward Panora very
rapidly.
The board of trustees of the Iowa
state college will meet at Ames Aug
ust 81 and among other things to be
taken up will be the purchase Of fur
niture for the presidents house. The
college owns the residence in which
the presidents live. The late DR..
Beardshear had furnished the house
himself and of course this furniture
will be taken away by Mrs. Beard
shear who is to live near the college.
But the board reached the conclusion
that inasmuch as the college owns the
residence and the residence is in fact
more public than private, that it is
much used by the students for recep-
tions and that the residence can hard
ly be regarded as private at any time.
the college should also furnish 1t, and
that it would be asking too much OF
a president to pay out several thous-(
and dollars for furnishing house that
will be so much used as a part of the
college property. The trustees have
therefore resolved upon completely out
lifting this pleasant home of the col
lege presidents.
