DIES MONIES, April &.--(Special. 1.-The
regents Of the State university are wrest-
ling with the problem Of stretching their
Appropriation for the expense budget $4,000
farther than it was intended to reach. and
the trustees of the State Agricultural col
lege at Ames are wrestling with the prob
lem Of stretching the funds for building
the annex to the Agricultural hall 5000 be-
yond the limits. The trustees Of the Asri-
cultural college offered plans to the legis-
lature for a $4,000 annex to the Agri-
cultural hall This annex is to be an audi
torium or chapel, for the meeting OF the
student body, and IL to be connected to the
Agricultural building. The legislature ap-
proved the $4,000 plans for the building
but voted down the bill carrying an 5000
appropriation for the heating and plumbing
fixtures. Now the trustees are in a dilemma
and have not as yet found a way out A
meeting OF the trustees was held at Ames
Wednesday and the matter was all gone
over, and the only solution TO be found
was to alter the plans and build a less
commodious and pretentious building but
the Legislature approved the plans for the
$4,000 building, and the trustees may not
have the authority to alter the plans. II IL
is found that the plans can be altered they
probably will be cut down to the extent Of
5000, and that amount from the millage
tax put into heating and plumbing
The regents OF the State university asked
for more money for running expenses to be
given in the annual appropriation increase
than the legislature gave it. The budget
is something like $4,000 bigger than the ap-
preparation and the regents continued their
session over today to try and find some
way out Of the trouble.

Joint Freight. Rate Date.
The date fixed by the railroad commission
for taking UP the joint freight rate schedule
is in order technically to comply with the
law, that requires a date within forty days
after the law takes effect. The commits
sion will therefore meet May and outline
somewhat the plan for taking the matter
up and will then adjourn till May p, at
which time the hearings will be commenced.
Wares Mind Gone.
Leroy Ware, who was yesterday put I'M
der the care of a trained nurse at Seymour
Ia, is today out Of his minde because OF
the condition of the bank of which he is
cashier. At times he raves, strikes and
fights, and physicians and nurses are work
ing over him almost constantly. It is
thought that he will soon be either in the
madhouse or grave.
National Banks start Suit
The Des Moines National bank has started
a suit in which it asks exemption from
paying taxes on that portion of its capital
