REPAYS The MONEY
SECRETARY SHAW PAYS BACK
MONEY EXPENDED BY
GOVERNOR SHAW.
As Secretary of the Treasury Signs
Warrant for $2o,5oo to Repay Money
Authorized Expended While Govern
or of the State of Iowa.

Secretary of the Treasury, Leslie M.
Shaw in paying back to the state Of
Iowa a sum of money which he as gov
ernor of the state of Iowa had au-
thorized expended in behalf OF the
United States government has per-
formed an act that stands alone of it's
kind and that is unique. On Tuesday
last he signed warrant for $20,500
repayment to the state of Iowa from
the general government on account of
supplies furnished the Iowa troops at
the time of the Spanish-American war,
after the troops had been mustered in
to the United States service.
Secretary Shaw was the governor Of
Iowa in 1898 at the time of the out
break of the Spanish-American war,
acts in connection with the Iowa
troops which had enlisted. Very natu-
rally there were expenses in connec-
ton with the equipment and move
ment of the soldiers, and while it was
well-known that the government would
ultimately foot the bill it was impera-
tive that the funds should be immedi-
ately forthcoming.
Governor Shaw authorized the ex-
penditures which were promptly made.
A bill was introduced into the senate
and house providing for the repayment
of the sum advanced by Iowa, and this
bill became a law last week, as an
nounced at the time. &
1T is the custom of the executive be-
fore signing acts to submit the pros
pective law to the department under
which its administration will properly
come, for the approval of the cabinet
officer in charge. Thus, the act ap-
propriating $2O.5O0 for Iowa was sent
to Secretary Shaw for his approval,
prior to it's being signed by the Presi.
dent.
Tuesday, the act signed, and techni-
cally law, was duly filed and Secre.
tary Shaw officially notified. There.
upon the warrant for $2O,500 was
drawn and signed in person by Secre
tary Shaw, who thus, as secretary OF
the treasury, handed the state of Iowa
back the $2O,500 which he, as governor
of Iowa, had authorized expended. 1t
is doubtful if history records another
! transaction parallel with that mention
ed; at any event it is stated at the
treasury that Secretary Shaw's, act is
unique.

TO GIVE OUT
INFORMATION.
STATE AGRICULTURAL COLLEGE
TO FURNISH PLANS FOR GOOD
ROAD BUILDING.
TALK OF AN AGREEM ENT
Rumor in Des Moines Says Saloon and
Rankin Forces Have Decided on Ac-
ton - Given No credence Among
the Legislators.
tBY LEON BROWN
yes Moines Bureau of the Courier.


Des Moines, March 20.
The proposition to make the state
asriculture college at Ames a state
highway commission received a sub
stantial endorsement today when the
mousse passed the bill recently introduce
ed thereln providing that the school
snail furnish to the authorities
throughout the state information re-
gardlng the construction of good roads.
Ihe house also passed bill this
morning limiting a days work for
trainmen to sixteen hours.
In the Senate.
The senate committee on agriculture
has drafts Of bill to make the rail-
road commission of the state appoin-
tive by the governor.
NO action has yet been taken on the
proposition to create board of control
for the educational institutions Of the
state. The senate committee has not
drafted the bill proposed to make a
commission of five members. Accord
ing to the sentiment, which now seems
TO be apparent, there is no likelihood of
the passage of such a measure.
The house committee has killed the
bill to punish picketing, boycotting and
blacklisting.
Rumor of Agreement.
In legislative circles there is rumor
today that a tacit agreement has been
made among Interested persons that
the saloons shall be allowed extra holi-
days and other privileges and that the
state constable bill shall pass. How
ever, as yet no legislators have been
found who will credit this rumor as
they contend that an agreement be-
tween A. G. Rankin and the saloon men
could not be effective in any event.
Harper Opposed Bill.
The senate spent the morning dis
cussing the Molesberry- McClurkin bill
to permit school districts to pay tuition
of students attending high schools in
adjacent districts. Senator Harper OPP
posed the measure.
Votes on Date to Adjourn.
The house passed resolution to
adjourn sine die. April 6. but filed a
motion to reconsider that date. 1t will
be fixed for April Is.

Fourth WAS not divulged by the dealer,
but it is supposed that along with 9th
err uncertain things the market will
explode and bananas will be down low
enough so that short" man can

Fourth OF July is long distance Off
yet, however, and nobody but the OPP
timist can CLEAN much comfort from
. the prediction.
Oranges continue in the same old
way, beth as to price and quality, the
former. being from $3.50 to $50 q box.
The apple supply is still controlled by
the heavy foreign demand for the bet
ter grades, Which the Americans must
bid for if they want any for them
selves.
Other Market stuffs.
Potatoes maintain their excellent
figure by means of little iudicious
padding-of the market. Colorados
bring S1.15 bushel, while the early
Ohio potatoes grown in Minnesota
range from to 10 per cent higher.
Eggs have succumbed to kind of
general debility along with spring com.

Strawberries have consented to be
met half way and appear anxious to
get acquainted with somebody. The
price at the opening Of the season has
been cut just in two at the middle, and
the plain, ordinary citizen can buy
them for one or two meals a week.
They are now being sold to the retailer
at a good price, although not necessa-
rily here to stay, for the supply de-
ponds largely on the weather condi-
tons down south. j5
RadiShes from Dixie and dollhouse
lettuce grown in the north have taken
quite fancy for each other and can
be seen together almost any time.
Among the new arrivals are Florida
tomatoes, which blush a rosy red on
being told that they are worth $3.50 a
crate, but such is the price and only
a larger supply than the present one
