"The reunion committee will supply
hotel accommodations at the Gait
house (the general headquarters) for
one sponsor and one maid of honor
from general, department and division
headquarters for the three days of
the reunion, and furnish carriages for
them in the parade. The hotel &C
commodationS, escorts and carriages
for the other sponsors and maids of
honor will have to be provided by the
camps or headquarters which select
them for these positions.
The committee is very DESTROYS that
there should be large attendance of
sponsors and maids of honor at the
reunion, and IS determined to do
everything possible to render pleasant
the sojourn of all who attend. The
committee will see that all sponsors
and maids of honor are supplied with

Des Moines, Sept 2-Attorney Gen
eral Mullan has advised Governor
Cummins that the removal Of a repre-
sentative from his district creates a
vacancy in the Office; that it is the
DUTY of the auditor of the county to
notify the governor of such removal
and vacancy; and that it becomes the
duty OF the governor to- call a special
election upon receipt Of such notifca-
ton.
The opinion of the attorney general
was asked verbally by the governor
and was transmitted to the executive
Office yesterda..
1t is understood that the opinion re-
lates directly to tho situation in
O'Brien county which now is repre-
scented by George Whitrer. democrat.
The auditor CT that count has noti-
fed the governor that Whitmer has
removed to Sioux City. Under the de-
cision of the attorney general this is
sufficient to create a vacancy to fill
which the governor must call spe.
cial election.

FIGHT ON INTERURBANS BY
THE ROCK ISLAND IS WARM

Des Moines, Sept. -. Carroll
Wright, attorney for the Chicago, Rock
Island & Pacific in Iowa, in an opinion
given in an interview yesterday states
that he believes that the cut rates now
being quoted by that road in competi-
ton with the interurban lines are per-
fectly legal, and that there is no appar-
ent disability to the operation of trains
with passenger rate under 3 cents
a mile.
The Rock Island is the only system
which is thus far interested in the
movement. Suburban trains from Des
Moines are run practically every hour
to Indianola and intermediate points.
From Cedar Rapids the company op-
crates hour suburban trains to Iowa
City in competition with the electric
line put in operation there about a
year ago.
1--WE believe that under the statutes
we have a right to charge less than 8
cents mile on round trip tickets be-
tween Iowa City and Cedar Rapids
said Mr.. Wright when approached on
the subject. Il don't think there is
anything to be said on the subject at
the present, but SO far as | am able TO

the courts do not pretend to say what
our defense will be, but for the present
we believe that the statute amply COW

gagged in. 1t is not a discrimination
because it is purely a local rate which
cannot be taken advantage of by per-
sons travelling from a distance and fur
Their because the rate is good only on

trains. The only difference is that we
operate by steam, whereas the other
inter-urban railways operate by cleo

New York. Sept. u. = Mrs. Edward

Women's Metropolitan Golf associa-

such extreme nervousness the last two
months, sailed for Europe in the hope
travel and rest abroad might restore

her husband and trained nurse.
Mrs. Manice's nervous breakdown,
which her physicians attribute to her
golf playing, began four months ago.
She stopped playing some time before
that, in accordance with her doctors
advice and, although she spent the
summer quietly at Garden City, she
was confined to her bed and it then
was decided she must be taken to Eu-
rope. 1t is announced, she will never
play golf again.

CROP BULLETIN.
Corn Crop Has Made Good Advance
mentor Week Ending Sept IL.

Des Moines, Sept. 1.-THE week
ending the morning of the eleventh
was somewhat cooler than usual,
with an excess of cloudiness. The
rainfall was generally below normal
except in portions of the west central
and southwest districts. The week
closed with warmer weather and am
pie sunshine, giving promise of condi-
tons more favorable for ripening corn
and other mature crops The corn
crop has made very good advance
ment and the product will be better
because of slower growth, providing
normal weather continues through the
balance of the month. Reports indi-
cate that fully so per cent of the crop
will be practically safe by the 25th,
though frostless September is very
desirable for the normal ripenlng of
the whole crop. Some progress has
been made in cutting in the districts
where the valuable corn fodder is util-
lied About the usual amount of dam
age has been suffered from wind
storms, hail, poor seed and root worms
but there will be a very handsome
amount left at the harvest Pastures
have been kept green and growing by
damp weather Late potato crop is
not as good as the early planting. All
reports as to apples are quite unsatis
facptory, and the area of winter wheat
will be increased somewhat.
