DIES MONIES. June s-CSpecal)-One Of
the principal attractive exhibits at the state
fair next August will be an exhibit by the
State Agricultural college Of Ames. The
state fair management has turned over
the secretary's building on the fair grounds
to the college for the exhibit, In this VIII
be shown the work the college Is doing
in engineering and other work. In con-
nection with the exhibit there will prob
ably be an exhibit of the stock on the
state college farm, including the horses
purchased a year ago and which are to be
used in developing a new breed of draft
horses, the college working in harmony
with the United States Department of Agri-
culture. The horses and stock will be kept
in the stock barns on the grounds.
The state board is, now erecting and will
nave completed for occupation by the
time the fair opens a fine new admins
tration building. This stands just west Of
the old secretary's building. All the old
office buildings which stood along the
street just west Of the stock pavilion and
agricultural hall have been torn out. The
open place back of them, which will be
just south Of the new administration build
ing, is to be transformed into a plaza APP
propriately decorated with flowers and
shrubs.
E. b. Cimijotta OF Mason City will have
at the state fair as one of the night at
fractions in the stock pavilion this year
two herds of circus horses. One of the
herds Is all white in color and the other
is cream colored, with white name and
tails. The horses are bred especially for
trained circus horses. The entire herd is
expected to make an attractive feature of
the horse show attraction.
Fight for s~peakership On.
The fight for speaker of the next house
OF representatives of the Iowa general as
sembly is on. In fact, it was on in a gen.
eral way when the last general assembly
adjourned. Since the primary election OF
Tuesday II has been given a new impetus
for the candidates for speaker now have
before them the party nominees.
There is every indication that the COM
plexion Of the next general assembly of
Iowa will not be materially different from
what IL was at the last session. The can
didates in the Calhoun and Jefferson dis
tricts are progressives this year where they
were standpatters before. This would give
the progressives an increase of two in
the republican caucus, but there are other
contingencies that are likely to cut this
uOWHs OF .llSldHGG, III he MdINOH COUNTY
district a democrat is likely this year to
succeed Teter, a progressive. On the whole
the democrats do not stand any show of
making appreciate gains in either house
or senate at the election in November for
the reason that, the standpatters want a
republican legislature to ~re-elect Allison
and the Cummins men want a republican
legislature to be, on hand to elect Cum
Minis as Allison's successor in case OF b
| vacancy. , alhf 2
There are indications now that the
speakership fight in the house viii be a
three-eornered affair, with White of Story
and Lee Of Emmett as the progressive
candidates and Harding of Woodbury. as
the standpat candidate. The probabilities
are that Lee and White will get together
and that the strongest with the progress
sives will be selected. If Teter wins out
in Marion county he will be a progressive
candidate also. There is no surety that
the democrats will select one of their num-
Der for the empty honor Of speaker, where
there is no hope of his selection.
Many Political Conventions.
-Four political conventions will be going
on in every county in the state of Iowa on
June 20. This is according to the primary
election law. The law provides that each
party shall on tina day meet in county
convention to fill such vacancies on the
ticket as the primary has failed to fill and
adopt any platform and resolutions desired
and select delegates to the state conven-
ton. The results Of these county conven-
lions will determine who controls the next
state conventions. The democrats meet in
state convention in Sioux City and the re-
publicans In Waterloo the week following,

John Werner of Charitan, Ia. a member
Of the Board Of Examiners Of State Mine

ence Of mine inspectors of the United States
