DIES MONIES, Ia. April 0.-(Special.)-
The new State Board of Educa-
ton may not be able to per-
feet its organization at the meet
ing held here this week. 1t is prob
able that the board will meet on Tues
day and elect a president and secretary
and discuss plans for the general work,
and later the members may go TO the va
rious colleges before they decide upon
the selection of the three members of
the finance or managing committee. The
politics of the game is beginning to crop
out and a strenuous campaign under
cover is being carried IN for places on
the finance COMMITTEES.
Because OF this fact the board may
not select the committee now, but defer
action. The line of the campaign now Is
to secure three men, each one the repre-
sentative of a college, and each one the
strongest man in his leanings toward his
college. There is an impression out that
the committee is to distribute itself about.
one living at each college, and therefore
It is planned to have at each place a man
who will be particularly expected to look
after that institution. But in fact IT
will be almost necessary that all three
of the members live in Des Moines, for
the central otrlce Will ne mere ana all
business will be done through the cen
trail office. AS representing the normal
college the man most talked of Is AL
fred Grumpy of Cedar Falls; for the uni
versity. w. c. McChesney of Iowa City,
and for the college either w. J. Dixon
of sac City or Ole Roe of Story county.
Among some persons II is being advo-
Gated that the committee should be
picked entirely from men not having had
anything 10 do with either college. but
the political pressure is all the other way.
1t is expected that the wishes of the
governor viii largely govern in this
case.
Best Position In state.
II is understood that Harry Winsted. )

surance actuary for the state. which is the
highest paid clerical position in the state
the salary being 5000 a year. Two years
ago. upon urgent request Of Auditor Car
roll the salary for this position was raised
and an actuary was secured, but he wa
offered more with a local mpany. The
place has since been vacant.

At 2:45 this morning the Capital
City Bottling Works suffered a heavy
loss by fire, Mr.. Sells making rough
estimate of $1,000 loss on machinery
and stock, but possibly the loss is
considerably greater, as owing to the
smoke at the time Of going to press
the full damage could not he close

i The fire was discovered by pas
serby who sent the alarm In and in a
few moments the fire department was
at work with two streams. The fire
originated in the basement where un-
til the water reached it, heavy blaze
ragged. It was impossible to enter the
building as dense smoke was pouring
from all the west windows and hand
icapped the firemen badly. The
flames soon ran up into the second
story and in trice the entire in
terror of that floor was ablaze, the
first floor seemingly not being ef-
fected. Lines of hose were run into
the upper windows and the flames
ssubdued were reached by the hose
at the windows, but it was over an
hour before the smoke cleared away
sufficiently to allow the firemen to
get into the building and work d.

The second floor was packed with
wooden soft drink cases which bhrn-
ed like finder and will prove almost
e. total loss.
The building belonged to P. C. Rem
ington and is insured. Mr.. Sells car
ried $4,000 insurance. which may COW
err the loss.
1t was bitter cold night, the mer-
curry being 80 below zero, and great
credit is due the fremen for their
promptness and the efficient way in
which they handled the fire while
their teeth chartered and they shiy-
cred on the ladders. Few who saw
the blaze in the second floor and
basement thought it possible to stop
the fire before the building was a
wreck, but as it was the building is
not very badly damaged.

A BANK DEPOSIT
GUARANTEE Bill
SENATOR PIERCE WILL RESPOND
TO PARTY PLANK BY INTRO
DUCiNG SUCH A BILL IN THE
SENATE.

Senator Pierce, when the senate re-
convenes, will present bill for the
guaranty of bank deposits in the
state Both of the political parties
In the state have Endorsed the bank
deposit guaranty plan, but there is
nevertheless likely to be strong
opposition to the passage of the bill.
Senator Pierce's bill provides for the
payment, upon the requirement Of
the state banking board, of one pei
cent of the average daily deposits of
a bank to a deposit guaranty fund,
to be expended in paying depositors
of failed banks. National banks may
come within the benefits of the law
by paying the required percentage.
A feature of the bill is the section
that prohibits bank not insured
from receiving public deposits of any
sort.
