Iowa Falls, May 2.---After adopting a
resolution condemning the action of
Secretary Shaw and Senator Elkins for
"butting in" to the Iowa political fight,
the republican convention in this coun-
ty decided to rescind its action, in the
interests of harmony. IT. was clearly
the sense of the convention, however,
that the delegates resented the inter-
ference of outside parties in the Iowa
contest, for the vote in favor Of the
resolution was three to one. Just be-
fore adjournment the plea of harmony
was raised and the convention decided
to rescind its former action, that no
cloud might obscure the political hor-
lion when the regular convention ls
called. The progressive element was
clearly in control of the convention.
and little standpat sentiment cropped
out. This convention is conceded by
all to be the forerunner of the regular
convention so far as the make-up of
the convention Is concerned, and that
the Cummins men will control when it
comes to naming a delegation to the
state republican convention to name a
governor and other officials.

The fashionable world dimes in res

In the bulletin OF the state board of
health for April issued today, DIR. J.
+. Kennedy the secretary of the board
explains the new vital statistics law
as follows:
Under this new law, the secretary of
th< state board of health is made the
state registrar of vital statistics. Mar
rages, divorces antl births will be re-
ported to the state registrar by the
clerks of the respective district courts
the births being collected by the as
SCISSORS as heretofore and reported to
the clerk Physicians have no obliga-
lions whatever relative to reporting
births and are only required to certify
to the cause of death upon the appli-
cation OF the undertaken. This can
hardly be regarded as compliment TO
the intelligence and professional stand
ing of the Iowa physicians. The legis-
lature entrusted him with an oppor-
tunity to serve the state In line not
only in the interests Of sanitary science,
but in strict accord with his profess
sional practice, and he either failed to
do his duty or complying, 1t was with
so much i'll grace because there were
no fees. that for the purposes intended
the returns were so meagre as to be
worthless OF course there are many
physicians In the state who faithfully
and cheerfully complied with the law.
The certificates Of death will be OBJ
tanned and returned to the state regis
trar by undertakers, coroners, etc.
Transcripts OF these deaths are to be
sent to the various counties by the
state registrar and to the pension bur-
eau at Washington. The returns OF
marriages. divorces. births and deaths
are to be bound by the state registrar
and deposited in the state historical
department. The secretary of state has
no duties under the new law whatever.
There is an annual appropriation of
twenty 1--we hundred dollars to cover
expenses. There is no obligation of any
kind upon the state board of health.

Sioux City, May 2.--R. A. Green, a

cessity for curbing the large catalog

exempts wages and salaries from the

"They say we don't have to give

what would become of them If we re-
fused them credit? But we should

get it is to organize and make fight
for 1t.
AT Des Moines this winter the Ia
Dor unions, which are bitterly oppos-
ing the removal of the exemption. kept
twelve skilled lobbyists at the capital
to defeat the bill They ran the bluff
that If the measure was not voted down
certain legislators would lose their
heads by the opposition of the labor

and make the same kind of a bluff"
