committees in the senate are more easy
to arrive at, for the reason that more than
half of the senate members were members
at the last session. In the house far more
than half were never in the legislature
before In the senate the first three COM
mittees have been settled for some time.
Smith OF Mitchell will be chairman of the
committee on ways and means, Dowel of
judiciary and Maytag of appropriations.
Whipple will have insurance most likely,
the same committee that he had at the
last session. Turner of Adams will sue
coed Lewis on the elections committee,
which will be one of the most important
committees. Hopkins of Guthrie, who had
telephones and telegraph at the last ses-
sion, will have railroads, succeeding Smith
of Mitchell. In the house Darrah of Lucas
is being talked Of with Meredith of Cass
for chairman Of the elections committee.
Iowa Mny Send Regiment
An EFFORT will be made at the coming ses-
sion of the legislature to secure an appro-
priation for sending a regiment of the
National Guard from this state to the
jamestown exposition. President Roose-
welt has written TO each governor, urging
such action, because of the fact that at
that exposition there will be a great display
from the regular army and the ships of all
nations will be assembled in Hampton
Roads. At the last session Iowa was asked
to make an appropriation to erect a build
ing. The legislature refused. Adjutant
General w. II. Thrift is anxious to take

The first visit paid by the flying squad

elsewhere was the order and every person
was instructed to leave the place and an

doors to see that no one entered the place.
| Between the two raids at the Manhattan
the flying squadron did some more effec-
tive slirmishing, and as a result the Boyd
liquor house at 523 Main street received a
visit from the two detectives. 1t is said
the officers found liquor being served here.
Bert larsen is proprietor also Of the Boyd
liquor house and he was booked on a sec
