Des Moines, Iowa, Feb. 8.-Contests for
regent of the state university and for
membership on the board of trustees of
the state college of agriculture at Ames
will be disposed of this week. Three dis
trict caucuses have already been held. In
the second 1t was unanimously agreed to
support G. r. Barclay of West Liberty

decided to resist any effort to shift the
democratic member to this district from

the second.
At the eighth district caucus it was
decided that Penntck, the present demo-
cratic representative, must be succeeded
by George s. Allyn of Mount Ayr, ex-
state senator and republican, and that
all efforts to force that district to accept
the democratic member would be resisted.
This is taken as an indication that q
determined night will be made to shift
the democratic member to the fourth dis
trict, where there is bitter factional fight
among the republicans. The eighth chose
II. K. Evans of Corydon for regent.
First District Agreed.
Let's of Louisa county to succeed 8. H.
Watkins, who has represented that dis
trict on the Ames board for six years.
Efforts to shove the democratic member
on this district are also being resisted.
In the fourth G. L. Gabrielson of New
Hampton, the present member. is an anti
Curtis man. He is opposed by w. M. Orr
of Fayette county. The balance of power
is held by Representative Stanberry Of
Mason City and Senator Gale of the same
place, both of whom favor s. B. Shilling,
head Of the State Dairymen's association.
There is pretty contest on in the ninth
district over the selection of a regent for
the state university to succeed Shirley
Gilliland, who resigned when elected to
the legislature. Here the fight is Cum
minis and nti-Cummins. G. w. Wright
Is being attacked by H. w. Byers, a Cum
Minis leader, and is opposed by DR.. Kent
and DR.. Brooks, and P. L. Sewer is con-
sidered possibility.
Reformatory for Women.
A proposition to establish state re-
formatory for women in this city will be
brought before the general assembly this
week. The w. C. T. U. is back Of the
movement to expend $4,000 in the pur-
chase Of the Hyde Park sanatorium prop
erty in this city and it's conversion into

building will be about the size of the old one,
which was entirely too small to accommodate
the officers.
The state press has sharply criticized the lg-
mite operators this winter for failure to get the
native coal before the PUBLIC more strongly. The
failure of the railroads to obey the sta tie law

preventing an expected increase in the output
of the mines. 1t would be at least 5O-cent re-
duction each ton to Fargo consumers If the
commissioners would enforce the law.

WISCONSIN
PHYSICIANS SMALLPOX BILL
Claim for 81 1885 Settled by Wisconsin
Towns for $3.50.


" GEANTSBURG, WIS.-What promised to be
long drawn-out legal battle was settled out Of
court to-day. Two years ago an epidemic was
raging In the town Of Meenon Burnett county,
ana DR.. E. S. Akers of Orange reported it to
the town board as smallpox. 1t Is asserted that
on verbal orders from the town chairman Akers
took medical charge and treated cases in twenty
families or more, and at the last meeting of the
board that year put in bill for ST. 635. This
the town board promptly allowed, but, as the
town had no funds with which to pay, prOpo-
siulon was made to bond the town. TO this
leading taxpayers took exception and charged
DR.. Akers with neglect and incompetency in
handling the cases. 1t voted to appoint
committee Of investigation. The committee
subsequently reported to the new board that
the bill was irregular and excessive, and recon-
mended that 1t be not paid.
Another attempt was made to raise the money
with which to pay the bill in full, but at a
special election to vote bonds for that purpose
the bonds were defeated two to one.
Dr. Akers then sued the town, which demurred
to the complaint and entered total denial Of
the allegations. The circuit court sustained Lie
demurrer and ordered that new complaint be
hled. That was year ago last fall and the
case has been hanging fire since.
In the meantime the town Of Meenon was di.
vided into three towns, and recently the boards
OF the new towns made settlement with the
Doctors attorneys for $3.50. To-day the boards
from two of the interested towns paid their pf:-
lions of the bill.

gate from Sioux Falls. The state is en-
titled to eight delegates. Heretofore they
have been selected by circuits, there being
eight Judicial circuits in the state, but the
last legislature added the ninth circuit,
which will necessitate new plan for
naming delegates.
In the first circuit there are several
candidates for delegates, Yankton alone
having as many as four. 1t Is believed
the contest in that county rests between
Dave Finnegan and John Fanslow. Fin
negan is an active young democrat, while
Fanslow is a brother Of the present mayor
