Many Aspirants For speakership Of
Iowa Legislature Have Many
Chances to Promise
chairmanships.
Feeley of BIackhswk Denies II ]
Has Promised Sullivan c
man Of the Judiciary
Other Features.
Especial to The Gate City.]

DES MONIES, Jan. S.-A break in
the speakership contest is expected. A
peculiar condition exists. Every old
lawyer member of the house is a can
didate for speakership. The chairman
ship OF the judiciary committee is usu-
ally given to lawyer member and is
one of the greatest recognition. 1t is
expected that before tn day is over
some combinations will be made
whereby candidates will throw their
strength to another in consideration of
this appointment. Representative Sui
livan OF Polk has not been active re.
Gently. Representatives Feeley Of
Blackhawk denies t,at he has prom
ised Sullivan or any other man the
chairmanship of that committee. An
other important chairmanship is ways
and mans. Unless it is through com
bination it is not likely that the law
yers defeated in their speakership am
bilious will be given mucl prominence
in committee appointments 1T
wouldn't be human nature or politics
at least to accord the such. So with
this condition staring them in the face
1t is likely that today those who feel
themselves lost in the race will be an
xious to throw their strength to that
point walere they can secure considera-
! tion.
The chairmanships held by the var
! ious lawyers candidates for speaker
/ s11ip at the last general assembly
(! were as follows:
/ Rep. Darrah, Lucas county-Elec-
/ ton committee.
Rep. Feeley Blackhawk county
1 Federal Relations.
Rep. Lee, Emmett county-Pardons.
Rep. Marson, Cerro Gordo-Public
Health.
Rep. Stillman, Green oounty-Enroll'
ed bills.
Rep. White of Glory county-Con
gressional districts.
Rep. Sullivan, Polk-Municipal cor
porations.
/ Rep. Hacker, Webster county-Rep
resentative districts.
To him of these who does not win
or enter combine there is threaten
! ed coldness in chairmarship selec-
tions.
Candidates for speaker have been
careful about promising an, chairman
ships, They have been afraid of the
reaction and have held those promis
es in reserve for necessary trading
stock. However, members of the
house have not been slow to signify
to the various candidates their owr
] ambitions regarding chairmanships

Agreement Quickly Reached.

There was difference of opinion
among the jurors as to the degree of
guilt of the defendants; but an agree
ment was reached quickly. The court
was convened at 8 p. m. and the jury
sent word that it would be able to re-
port shortly.
At S:45 p. m. the bailiff called for
the county physician. Juror Rosson was
in a state of collapse and needed at
tention. 1t was half an hour before
Rosson was revived. The jury filed
in and six deputies were summoned to
carry in the bed upon which the sick
juror reclined. The formean announc-
ed the verdict, the defense call for a
poll, which was made, and the judge
dismissed the jurors.

TODAY IS JEWISH
"YOM KIPPUR"

Today, that is from sundown last ev-
ening until the same time this after
noon, is Yom Kippur, the great Jewish
day of Atonement. The day was pre-
ceded by feast, and will be followed
at the end of the "a hours fast by an
other feast.
This is the one day of the year that
is observed by the Jewish people, or
thodox or otherwise, and is perhaps the
oldest holiday known to civilization,
having been recognized for centuries
before the Christian era.
In the large cities business is practi-
cally suspended, in order that all Jews
may spend the day in fasting and
prayer. In .Winnemucca the stores Of
E. Reinhart & Co. and the Morris Hof-
man Co. were closed at 6 O'Clock last
evening and will remain shut down
until O'Clock tonight.

TROUBLE OVER NATIONAL
EXHIBIT FOR GOLDF|ELD
Officers and Lessees in Dispute as to Who Shall
Accompany Display Statements of
Both Sides to Controversy

John K. Pelton, president and gen
eral manager, and l.. G.. Campbell
vice-president of the National Mining
Company of Nevada, returned from
camp yesterday noon. The gentlemen
report considerable activity all over
the camp, with many prospectors
doing their location work.
Mining Engineer Crosley remained
at the mine, where he is engaged in
making an underground survey.
When seen at the Lafayette last ev-
ening by representative of the Sill
yer State and asked about the diff
Guilty over the National exhibit at
Goldfeld, Mr.. Pelton replied:
"These samples that have been re-
served for the exhibit are the Joint
property of the National Mining Com
pany of Nevada and the Stall broth
ers, lessees. While our company has
no stock for sale and has nothing to
gain from the advertisement, for the
benefit of the camp we will consent
to the ore going down to the congress

pany.''

lease, arrived in town last evening with
quantity of high grade. When asked
this morning what the Combination
lease proposed to do in the matter of
the Goldfeld exhibit, Mr.. Stall re-
Piled:
For some months past we have
saved out specimens of rich ore for
the purpose of an exhibit at Goldfeld
Unfortunately differences have arisen
between the National Mining Company
of Nevada and the Combination lease,
which we trust will not have the effect
of keeping the exhibit at home. You
may state that the Combination lease
will permit the exhibit to 90 to Gold
field in charge of any responsible dis
interested person, and that we will
stand the entire expense of the trip. -
The entire people of Humboldt coun-
ty are interested in having the ores
from the richest mine in the state
properly exhibited at the National
Mining Congress, and it is to be hop
ed that the unfortunate differences may
be speedily adjusted in so far as will
permit the exhibit to be in place on
the opening day.
