but was permitted to be buried in the

"Regarding drunkenness in the
Home," continued the commandant,
II might say that the first month 1
came here had 16 cases and IL the
second, while this year in June there
was but one, and only one in July. (
will be glad to have all who are hon
estly and sincerely interested in the
care and best interests of the veterans
of the Home consult with the members
and astertain what the sentiment of
the Home is relative to the government
as to intoXication. The rules of this
Home are as liberal as those of any
State or National Home in existance.
The only criticism made by Inspector
General Knox of this Home was that
the rules are rather liberal. l am
proud of the morale and personal
membership of this Home, which will
outclass any given number of men from
any community of my acquaintance"
Col. Nash said relative to the resolu-
tion of the democrats in their state
platform: 1.-THE board discontinued
taking any part of the members pen
sions at its June meeting, and officially
acted upon the matter, as will be found
by the minutes of the Board" !
Col. Orr said: 'When was recently
appointed upon the Soldiers Home
Board l was advised by some friends
toabe more liberal and generous toward
the old boys, but 1 find that the criti-
clsm which l heard OF the management
is uncailed for. The rules are liberal
and no mans personal privileges are
curtailed SO long as he remains respect
able and decent. Every member may
drink whenever he pleases outside the
Home grounds, and may go where he
pleases, there being no rule whatever
against drinking but the rules are
rigid against any man being drunk and
disorderly about the Home."
Col. Nash added "Every move made
by the Board and everything done is
for the interest, happiness and benefit
of the members, but there must be
rules and discipline-not radical and
such as will burden anyone, but such
as will make the Home orderly and
pleasant. To remedy the difficulty
that has been brought about by the
county having to take charge of men,
bers who have been discharged from
the Home there must be legislation
such as will either retain their settle
ment in the county from which they
come or that they at once regain their
settlement there soon as they are dis
charged from the Home.''

Special to Times-Repubucan.
Ames, Dec. 21.-A dispatch has Just
been received here Of the death Of Pro-
lessor ]. l.. Budd, of San Antonio. Tex,
which occurred yesterday morning.
The cause of his death is supposed to
be consumption. Professor Budd i5
one Of the best and widest known hor-
ticulturalists in the state of Iowa. With
twenty-five years as professor Of hor-
ticulture at the Iowa State College he
was known from coast to coast.
He was born in Peakville, New York,
in 1885, and began teaching school
when but 16 years of age. He gradual
ed from the Normal Institute at Mon
ticello, New York, and the few follow
ing years had charge Of an academy for
boys in Rockford, Ill. The next
eighteen years were spent. in the var
led capacities Of principal of schools
farmer nurseryman, and secretary or
the State Agricultural Society. In 1887
he became professor Of horticulture in
the Iowa State College, and was iden-
titled with the institution until about
seven years ago. He labored inces-
sanity, securing the old world for de-
sirable fruits and shrubs, and educat-
ing the people to their use. He was
known to the students and professors
of horticulture from his native state
to the Pacific coast. Enthusiastic and
painstaking, his work has been of in
calculable value to the state and the
college.
Professor Budd had been in poor
health for several years, and it was
partly due to this that he retired from
the horticultural field. He has spent
most of the winters in Texas and the
western states the past five or six
years, in the hope that he would be
able to recuperate his fast failing.
health. The remains will be shipped
from San Antonio tomorrow and will
probably reach here about Sunday. The
funeral services will be under the aus
pieces of the Masonic lodge Of this
city, of which he was a member. Moth
ing is known of the burial arrange
ments here at this time, but it is sup
posed that the remains will be In
tered in the college cemetery His
wife and daughter were with him at
the time of his death and will accom-
pany the remains home.

1t has been suggested that the statue
be placed in the magnificent agricul-
tural dairy and horticultural hall at the
state fair grounds, and this suggestion
awaits disposal.
The statue is constructed Of staff. 1t
is enormous in size, but real art. How
ever, 1t is perishable, and probably in a
few vars will have crumbled away.
Nevertheless 1t is a valuable reminder
Of the great fair and the conspicuous
part that Iowa played therein. 1t cost
a great deal Of money, originally.
The same offer as that made by
President Francis to Governor Cum
minis has been made to every state
which was represented by a statue in

The statue is too large to find a place

been against statues in that building

remove it from the second floor Of the
building. 1t now lies in q darkened
corner Of the basement, a tumble of
legs. arms, scalping knives and plaster

It is probable that If the statue fin
ally is turned over to the state board
Of control it will go the ornamentation
Of one of the state institution grounds.
While of staff, it is said to be more
durable than some kinds of rock and
will last for years and years. In view
of the very elegant quarters which the
state legislature provided that the
board Of control should furnish for the
drunkards Of the state, 1t has been
suggested that the statue be used to
ornament the grounds at the dipso-
maniacs' winter home at Knoxville.
