Board Hunts for Man.
The Board Of Control is having some diff
| hculty In finding man big enough and
/ broad enough and sympathetic enough to
act as superintendent of the Boys In
dustrial school at Eldora. There have been
many job hunters asking Tor the position.

! A $4,000 electric light plant will be in
stalled at the state fair grounds for the
purpose Of lighting the grounds and build
ings. The board has decided to make an
exposition Of the fair as well as a fair.
/ This means that it must be lighted at night
| as brilliantly at day. An effort was
! made to induce the Des Moines Edison
Light company to run wires to the grounds,
UTI oh -
plant, and to furnish the light for the
grounNI and buildings. The wiring would
| necessitate an investment Of $4,000 and
the company would not take hold of It.
The directors of the fair nave therefore
decided to put i'm as much Of the plant
as possible this year. one wing of a build
ing Will be erected and boiler and dynamo
will be installed. The intention will be to
add to the plant each year as the profits
Of the fair win allow. Every building on
the grounds will in time be outlined with
electric lights.

Des MoInes Loses Mail Boxes.
1t Is claimed that the new Iowa anti
pass bill is the direct cause of the gov
eminent deciding to remove the mail boxes
from the street cars. As the cars came
to the waiting room a mail carrier col
lected the mail from the boxes. The con-
tract OF the government with the street
car company provided lump sum for the
,, carrying Of the carriers and the mai
boxes. Under the anti-pass law the gov.
eminent would have to pay the straight
, fare for each mail carrier, which it re,
fuses to do.
