Candidates Are Being Groomed.
Frank w. Porterfield, of Atlantic
will be announced for the republican
nomination for state railroad commits.
sioner in the Atlantic Daily Telegraph
next Monday, in all probability. That
! is the present intention of his friends
Col. D. j. Palmer will soon be an.
| nounced, also. He has made up his
mind to be a candidate, his closest
friends state. His home paper, at
Washington, will make the announce
ment within a short time.
w. L. Eaton, Of Usage. will be a
candidate. One Of the Usage news
papers is expected to announce his
name formally within a few weeks.
He formerly was speaker Of the
house.
Owen Lovejoy, of Jefferson, has not
announced his candidacy and 1t is un.
derstood that he is likely not to enter
the race this time. He has kept still
but certain of his friends have said
he would be candidate while others
have indicated that they thought he
would not be. 1t Is believed that he
will be.
Ed Sits, of Spencer, Clay county, is
a candidate. He was in the field first
of all. He is miller and was can
didate with Lovejoy, Ketchum, Porter
field and others two years ago.
Senator F. G. Hartshorn, of Clarion,
has been mentioned as a possible can.
didate for railroad commissioner. 1t
is believed now that he will be-. He
has authorized no statement concern
ing it.
S. D. Hunter, Oh Atlantic, was first
mentioned of the western candidates
for the place. 1t is now said he will
not be candidate but that Mr.. Por.
terrified, only, will be presented by
the ninth district.
w. ). Dixon, of Sac county, has been
suggested as possible candidate but
ne has given no indication of his pur.
pose to be in the field.
If the legislature destroys passes
places on the railroad commission
may not be so desirable. The legisla.
ture pays the commissioners $4,000 q
year, having cut it down from $4,000,
and if the commissioners have to pay
their own fare there will be little trav-
cling or little salary. OF course the
state probably will appropriate to pay
the railroad fare which amounts to
$4,000 year.

LEGIsLATURE DOES HONOR TO
FORMER CHIEF EXECUTIVE
OF HAWkEYE STATE
GUEST MAKES ADDRESS
MIR. Larrabee, on His seventy-Fourth
Birthday Anniversary, Discusses
Questions of Public Moment-Gov-
ernor cummins and Former Cover
nor jackson Also Speak.

Des Moines, Jan. 22-(Special.)
The Iowa legislature met in
Joint session Saturday to pay
tribute Of respect to ex-Gov. Will
liam Larrabee on the occasion of
his seventy-fourth birthday ami
versary. Lieutenant Governor
John Herriott presided. Speaker
pro tenn Cummins introduced Mr..
Larrabee, who spoke at some
length on public questions. For
mer Governor Frank D. Jackson
and Governor A. B. Cummins
spoke also. kilograms from Sec
rotary L. M. Shaw and ex-Govern-
or Horace Boies were read. Ma
jor S. H. M. Byers read poem
entitled, There Was a Man"
A reception followed this program.
Governor Larrabee, in the
course of his address, referred to
the Iowa railroad law as a model
for the United States congress
and said he wished the Iowa leg
islature were charged with the re-
sponsibility Of settling the ques-
tons pending before congress,
for he thought If it had the power
it would settle them more advan-
tageously for the common people
than will congress. He urged
the legislatures to establish
home for consumptives, to take
care Of the educational institu-
lions literally and do whatever
lies in his power to kill the sa-
loon.
Governor Cummins referred to
Mr. Larrabee as leader in the
movement for the maintenance Of
government Of the people by the
people and declared himself en-
listed for the same fight.

1t is said to be improbable that the
legislature will give serious consider
alton to the resolution of Representa-
I've Etfidt that fU5by1srs De required
to register their names with the gov
ernor, on reaching the city, and re
main in town but thirty hours, and
then appear but once before a com.
mittee in charge of bills in which the
lobbyist may be interested.
No one will oppose the resolution
because he favors the lobbyist but
many of the lawyers think that even
the legislature cannot compel a man
to leave community against his
choice. Under American laws the
way to reach the lobbyist seems to
be to punish him for committing some
crime such as bribery-if he commits
it. The legislature can only exclude
; him from the legislative halls, accord.
ing to the lawyers.
Lobbyists Are Fewer.
The lobbyist is not as much in evi.
dence this year as he has been in past
years. Last year the railroads, under
the suggestion of James G. Davis of
the Northwestern, appeared openly
before the legislative committees in
support of and in opposition to meas
Iures that the railroad interests did or
did not like. This sort of thing was
very pleasing to the legislature and
the railroad fellows decided that it
beat the secret lobbying plan all to
pieces. This year the railroads have
no lobbyists here, though it is said

JOHN HAYS RARE LETTERS
Like His Conversation, They We're
Never Dull or Lacking in
Interest.

There has. been few better let
ter writer's than John Hay. He
wrote more nearly as he talked
than any man / have ever known,
writes Joseph Bucklin Bishop, in
"a Friendship with John Hay"
in Century, and, as he could not
talk in a dull or uninteresting
way, so he could not write a dull
letter. Some day, when time
shall not have made it indiscreet
to publish a compilation of his let
tiers, they should be given to the
world. They will prove to be not
only an intellectual delight, but
an inestimable contribution to
the history of the time in which
he lived and in which he bore so
honorable and useful part. 1t
would be quite out of the ques ton
to publish them now, for they re
late intimately to men now liv-
ing and to public affairs that are
still i'll process of evolution. I'm
like many brilliant writer's, he did
not write with the obvious expec,
tatiOn that his letters would be
published. He let himself go free
ly, as was his wont in familiar
conversation, and the cOnse-
quence was that he never wrote
without saying something that
the recipient of the letter would
most unwillingly let die.

Strange Relic Of Old Customs Pre-
vailing in German Forest Of the
spreo-Called "spreewald."

One Of the most interesting re
gions in the "Old Fatherland" is
the so-called "Spreedwald," the
Forest Of the Spree, situated moi
| far from the German capital, in
the province of Brandenburg, re-
lates the Technical World Maya
zine. Each village is a little Ven
ice, every house a little island
and these islets are connected by
bridges sufficiently raised to allow
boats to pass under them. Most
of the houses, with their barns
and stables, rest on piles, and
there is generally a strip of arti-
fetal terra firma, either in front
or at the rear Of every building.
by means of these land strips and
OF the bridges, the slender land
communication is kept through
out the district, but most of the
business and amusement is car
ried on through the canals, which
not only form the main highways,
but penetrate and cross and re-
cross the whole region. 1t is on
these lagOOns that all traffic IS
conducted in boats during the pc.
Rod from spring, when the last
vestige of frost and ice are disap.
pearing, until the end Of autumn.
You see the letter carrier shoot up
and down the canals, performing
his duties in his frail craft; the
police glide leisurely along the
banks, watching everything going
on; peasants bring the products
of their toll to the nearest towns
children go to and from school,
young mothers, dressed in their
Sunday clothes, are rowed to
church, carrying in their arms
a small, queer looking bundle from
which two large eyes in a tiny
face stare at the stranger in won
.derment-baby is going to be bap-
.tized, an important moment with
this strongly religious people.

government Whltewash .

We have had several inquiries re
Gently for thefecipe for making wha-
is known as Government White
wash, " from the fact that it is usec
on the government buildings in
Washington. We give the formula
herewith:
/ Take half bushel Of unslaked Lime.
Stake it with boiling water, cover
during the process to Keep in steam.
strain the liquid through a fine sieve
/ or strainer and add to it a peck of salt
previously dissolved in warm water.
three pounds Of ground rice boiled to
a thin paste and stirred in while hot.
half a pound Of powdered Spanish
whiting and one pound clean glue
previously dissolved by soaking in
cold water and then hanging over a
slow fire in small pot hung within
a larger one filled with water. Add
flve gallons hot water to the mixture.
stir well and let it stand few DAYS.
covered from dirt. 1t should be ap-
Piled hot, for which purpose it can
be Kept in kettle or a portable fur
mace. Coloring matter may be added
as desired. For cream color add vel
low ochre; pearl or lead, add lamp
or ivory black; fawn, add proper
tionately four pounds of umber to
one pound Indian red and one pound
common lampblack; common stone
color, add proportinately four pounds
raw umber to two pounds lampblack.
For interior work: Stake a peck Of
lime till it is thick and creamy.
While it is hot mix with pint Of
linseed oil and one quarter pound of
glue previously dissolved in water.
Let the mixture stand several hours
before applying it. A little lamp
black dissolved in vinegar and mixed
with whitewash gives a greyish tint,
which may be preferable to pure
white; little umber gives a fawn
color and yellow a cream tint. Very
little coloring matter should be
used, or the shade will be too dark.
If this is made somewhat thinner
than indicated above and strained
through a flannel cloth it may be
applied with a sprayer such as is used
in spraying trees. When strained
through cotton cloth the lint from
the cotton often interferes with the
work.-Ex.

MOVING IS NOW FINE ART.
Proposition as 1t Is Faced To-Day Is
Far from That Of Generation
Ago, Says Expert.

To those who remember the hig-
gledy-piggledy mOyings of a gen
Grafton ago, when furniture and
household belongings were indis-
criminately piled into vans, have
hardly noticed the transmission
to the present neat, compact and
effective method of transporting
them, says the Philadelphia Rec
ord. Yet vans are now twice as
big as of yOre, and those in which
valuable furniture is carried are
usually padded.
"The sewing of canvas or burlap
about valuable articles of furni-
ture intended for shipment is the
most noticeable feature of i'm
proved moving methods" said an
expressman. "There are men and
women who make a business of
preparing articles in this way.
Every storage house and large
establishment employs
several"
