Des Moines, March 8.
The anti-pass bill which bears Sen
ator Hughes name will come up in
the senate next Thursday morning.
Senator Bleakly was the member who
moved that the bill be made special
order for Thursday.
The measure was drafted by a sub
committee Of the senate railroad COM
mittee. Senator Hopkins of the COM
mittee thought for while Of urging
a more drastic measure, but decided
that 1t would be useless.
The Turner bill was given scant con-
stderation for it aimed to abolish the
pass system. The bill that was drafted
and given Senator Hughes name is a
mild and very harmless little measure
which in effect saves the railroads the
necessity of issuing lot of transpor-
tation that they now feel compelled to
issue as a Courtesy" No proposal
was made to insert a two cent fare
section In the pass bill, but 1t may be
offered on the floor. The theory of
those who favor the two cent fare in
connection with restricting the free
pass issuance is that the people and
not the railroads should have the bene-
fit Of the hundreds of thousands of dol
lars saved to the railroads by abolish
Ing the passes.
The so-called Hughes bill does not
abolish the pass to the Influential
citizen" Indeed it is q pleasant and
stingless little measure 1t was given
the mama Of the senator from Iowa
without his knowledge or consent. AS
matter of fact all that there is pre-
served Of his bill is the tite and enact
ing clause, according to a man who
has examined them both.
The theory Of the Turner bill was
that the Influential citizen who gets
the pass exerts the real influence for
the railroads. which is deleterious to
the public interest. The pass carried
by the member of the legislature, the
friends of the Turner bill say, is earned
by him legitimately in work, asst the
lawyers who are in the assembly s. but
the pass which finally in the lasB an.

Marshalltown, March 3.-The biz
glucose plant in this city, which for.
merly employed 300 men, but which,
has been shut down for a number Of
years, is being dismantled and the cost.
~ machinery taken elsewhere. There
is no probability that it will ever again.
be operated as glucose factory.
There is prospect, however, that
the trust may put the huge building
to other purposes. The plant has been
nemesis to the city for years and the
cause OF endless litigation besides the
sinking of 100000 In building sewage
disposal plant for which the city now
has no use.
1t is understood that the trust will
also dismantle the plants at Peoria
and Rockford. it being claimed that
the capacity of the other plants Is am

last night won the decision over Par.
sons college of this city in the semi.
final debate in the Middle West De.
batting league, the vote of the judges
standing two in favor of the Indiana
school and one for Parsons. The de-
cision came as a great surprise to the
local school, which, az the arguments
We're being made, confidently expected
to carry away all laurels. So certain
was the entire houseful that the local
institution would win that a gasp es-
capped nearly everybody present when
the decision Of the judges was an
nounced.
The question was on the municipal
ownership Of city railways, Wabash
contending that cities of the United
States should own and operate their
lines, which Parsons strenuously de-
MED. Both sides admitted that the
present condition Of city railways was
not the best, Wabash offering as a So
luton municipal ownership, while the
Parsons team advocated private owner
ship with complete municipal control,
declaring this would be better solu-
ton than that offered by their oppon-
ents.
The two teams were very nearly
evenly matched. The members of the
home team were nearly equal to each
other in power. On the Wabash team
Mangus was the best speaker. in the
opinion of most present He was ably
assisted by the other two members OF
his side.
The teams were composed of the
following persons: Wabash, S. E.

One of the principal movements to

among Iowa miners. tuberculosis was
made the subject of portion of Presi-
dent Whites address.
This is humane question:" said
Mr.. White, that is agitating the
minds of statesmen and philanthro.
pists in many of the states of the
union, and an organization has also
been effected in iowa for the proven
ton and cure Of this growing malady
Your executive board donated to this
society a small sum in order to carry
this great work on, and, while the sum
appropriated is very Insignificant, If
this convention deems it of sufficient
importance to make a further donation,
I assure you that it would be appreci-
ated as lasting favor that we owe
to ourselves and to humanity. I need
not call your attention to the fact that
countless thousands are consigned to
an untimely grave, from having con
tracted this deadly and infectious dis.
