Special to Times Republican.
Des Moines, Jan. 2S.-Captain y. W..
Carson, of the state Shiloh commission
was in the city yesterday and called
upon the governor concerning the ef-
forts being made to get proper recogni-
tion for the Iowa regiments at the fa-
nous battle. Captain Carson is deter
mined to have recognition and with
the governor is prepared to carry the
matter to the president or congress be-
fore giving up the matter. The nonu
ments are all in place. and the conten-
ton is over the inscription. Captain
Carson said: Major Reed has plan
ned very beautiful cemetery but he is
determined to draw a perfect line Of
formation for the forces on the day
of the famous battle and date every
thing from that line as he has PLAN
at 10 o'clock. A a matter OF fact it
was not formed in perfect line and
at the hour when he has the Iowa regi-
ments entering the field, the rebels
We're in possession of the hill.
The question of who shall be the
new assistant adjutant general is just
now agitating the members and officers
Of the guard more. than any other
Captain Whipple was in the city yes
terday to call upon Captain Thrift who
becomes the new adjutant Feb. l..
Captain Thrift had been forced to re-
turn to his home In Dubuque because
of an attack of grippe. and will not
return until next Tuesday the day be-
fore taking his office. It is believed
he will make no immediate change in
the appointees Of his office. Captain
Whirple is making strong effort to
secure the place. A member of the
guard who was iii the city today stated
that there is report among the
guards that Whipple withdrew from
being candidate for adjutant general
on the understanding. that he was to
be made assistant. While in the city
yesterday Captain Whipple discovered
that the governor will have a voice in
the matter as he must approve the ap-
pointment.

II happen to know" said the mem
Der of the guard referred to, that the
officers and members Of the guard over
the state are making a very strong eff
fort on behalf of Major John r. Hume.
They would like to see him remain in
the position and I should no. be sur
prised to see him remain there. I be-
lieve Captain Thrift has learned some
things along this line since coming to
this city. If 1T comes to a question of
making showing before Captain
Thrift or the governor either one I
believe Major Hume will be the sue
cessful candidate. He has some of the
strongest endorsements in The state.
If I understand rightly, the governor
Is desirous of seeing done what the
guard as a whole wishes. If this is
done I am confident Major Hume will
be appointed.
One of the hottest legal battles In
the state of Iowa is that being waged
at Mt. Ayr at this time over the Dun
ming bank matter. The defendants
have secured Hon. r. II. Spence, Full
Ter & Fuller, ex-Congressman ]. P.
Flick and Hon. T. L. Maxwell as their
array Of legal talent. On the side OF
the state is L. w. Laughlin as special
attorney, County Attorney Henry and
Hon. V. R. McGinnis. The case opened
Thursday morning at Mt. Ayr.
The case of DR.. j. W. Crofford comes
up at Osceola next week. This was a
<Lo
on an instruction Of the lower court.
DIR. Crofford conducted small sani-
tarium at Lamont and Miss Maud
Stone of near Leon died at his sani-
tarium. DR.. Crofford was indicted for
criminal practice and was convicted
of murder in the second degree. The
young man in the case, Ira Hammond
was acquitted. The case next week
will be tried at Osceola on a change
of venue from Decatur county.
Secretary Simpson of the department
of agriculture is looking for a fife
corps as an attraction at the fair for
this year. Mr.. Simpson believes that
there is nothing that is remembered by
the people so long in the way of music
as fife corps When Buffalo Bill had
one as his chief musical attraction, it
was a great hit. Mr.. Simpson believes
that a fife corps this year at the fair
would be a drawing card. The attrac-
tions for a state fair are one of the
principal worries of fair management.
They must be the very best that there
is and no circus manager ever gives
his circus more thought than Secre-
tary Simpson gives each year to the
attractions that will amuse the people
of Iowa for one week. On The success OF
attractions depends the Success Of the
fair to a large extent. AN investiga-
ton is being made of Bert Morphy, the
man who sings ito beat the band" 1t
is quite likely he will be given an op-
portunity to sing against one Of the
largest bands of the country at the fair
next year. Morphy started on his car
eer in Australia. Sells circus came to
the place and three people were trying
