Settlement Made on Time.

Governor Hanly Wednesday
afternoon made a positive denial
of the sensational statement
made current that he had granted
Daniel E. Storms, secretary of
State, additional time in which to
make his last quarterly settle
ment with the state. The Gov
ernor further declared that he
knew nothing about the Secre-
tary's business affairs, and had
no. knowledge of Mr.. Storms be-
ing hard pressed for funds with
which to settle his Indebtedness
to the State.
"When | demanded quarterly
settlements of the various State
officers last summer | addressed
the same kind of letter to MIR.
Storms as was sent to the other
officers He advised me by letter
that his settlement would be
made promptly and the money
would be paid into the treasury.
This was done promptly on the
first day of October-the date
fixed by law for the quarterly
settlements. If Mr.. Storms had
any OF the States money invested
in an improper manner or on his
own personal account | was not
so advised, and no evidence that
he so had has ever been laid be-
fore me.

ing at Greenwich and Rector
streets, New York, have recently
found on top of the bed rock, 40

wood which is regarded by ex-

world. 1t was inbedded in and
covered by 11-foot strata of hard

the glacial drift. According to
the Engineering News, the wood
is light brown in color and rather
punky, but retains considerable
elasticity.

Swedish MuItimilIionairs.

Christiara, Norway, Sept. There
is every reason to believe that Presl-
dent Roosevelt will receive signal rec
oenition from the Nobel peace prize
committee Of the storthing. This COM
mittee has cabled It's congratulations
to the president for his work for the
mace Of the world and humanity"
such a message is tantamount to say
ing that this years Nobel peace prize
Of about $4,000 will be awarded to
President Roosevelt. The awards In all
five OF the Nobel prizes are made an
nually on December 10, the anniversary
uf Nobeps death.
Alfred Bernhard Nobel, who was the
richest man in Sweden, died on Dec.
10. 1896, and left most remarkable
will. He provided for the establish
ment Of five Institutes, representing
different fields of activity-humanity,
or the cause of peace, physical science,
literature. chemistry and medicine.
The revenues from his estate were to
be divided equally between these five
institutes. and the king of Sweden
was to have general supervision of the
whole and appoint an executive poard'
with a president, to manage the al
fairs of the foundation. Each insu-
tute was to have it's own building ana
apparatus, and it's affairs were to be
governed by faculty Of specialists,
! chosen not merely from Scandinavia,
but from the number of scientists OF
unuuestioned reputation in their re-
spectiye fields. These specialists were
to develop and extend the, usefulness
Of discoveries of inventions, for which
annual prizes were to be awarded.
They were to reside In Stockholm,
where the headquarters of the insti-
tutes are to be maintained. Prizes
were to be awarded annually by each
institute to the man who, In Its judg-
ment. had performed the most useful
service in promoting the peace OF the
world. or made the most important
discovery, or written the most valua-
hle book. Candidates for these prizes
were to be named by the learned bod
lies of the world, and no personal ap-
pucations would be received.
A Huge Estate.
There was some delay in the set
fling of the estate, owing to the claims
of relatives, but the executors sue

the remedy Is by injunction as in many

There Is feeling that there will he

the case. This Is surmised from the
fnct that the decision has been long IN
coming, as we'll as from the fact that
public opinion Is divided on whether
or not the law is constitutional. Us,l-
ally when decisions are unanimous
they are more quickly reached. The
next sitting of the supreme court will
be September 10, and the decision may
be reached and handed down at that
time, but as the judges now are sup
posed to be on vacations II is quite
probable that there will be no decl-
sions whatever at that time. but thai
the decision will more likely come ut
the second period Of the September
term of court.
Now that there is assured a surplus
for the state fair there is assured also
the erection OF more barns for the
stock. 1t Is expected that the legis-
lature will take care OF the amphi-
theatcr and an additional stock pavil-
ion, as II Is nearly impossible to Judge
both the cattle and horses In the same
pavilion and. complete the work dur
Ing the fair week. The directors have
been hoping that there would be profit
enough In this years fair to care for
the erection Of additional stock barns.
These are needed both for the horses
and cattle. The cattle barns will be
erected on the style of the biggest
double barn now on the grounds and
the horse barn something on the same
order. The surplus will probably be
the largest in some years and will be
sufficient to make further needed i'm
provements In walks and grading
about the grounds.
There has probably been less criti-
cism this year concerning the state fair
than any year for many seasons. The
Improvements at the state fair have
been so marked each year that the
public is generally greatly pleased and
with the large improvements planned
for next year the Iowa fair will be UT

ber OF cars could be. TILED In the same

probable an effort will be made to tn

the argument another year. The inn
proyement in the handling Of the
crowds has grown each year. but the
crowds have also increased in size. On
the whole fair visitors have had very
little criticism against the facilities for
reaching the grounds this year.
