as its date for the state fair. Long ago e.

for many years and finds It profitable be-
cause Of a better chance for good weather

Attorney General H W. Byers has re-
ceived with some pleasure notification Of
the resolutions that were adopted by GER
tain ciubs Of business men In Council
Bluffs. commencing him for his part IN
the tra of the Dobbins case recently. The
West End Improvement club and the Fifth
Ward Improvement club both passed reso-
buttons thanking him for having taken part
ia the case on behalf Of the state. II Is
understood that even some Of the attorney
generals personal friends criticised him for
manifesting so much interest In the case,
and IL Is gratifying to the rest OF the state
TO learn Of The action taken. The attorney
general was drawn into the case on the
direct request Of the federal authorities,
who wanted hi INTO appear there and per
sonaIly conduct the case.
.ISvra Man stands No show.
Prtvately It is learned that there is no
probability whatever Of the selection Of
any Iowa man for a place on the United
Strtss supreme bench. The action Of the
local Bar association in having the name
OF Judge Deemer brought to the attention
of the president was more as a eompn-
mentary matter than otherwise, though
there il no doubt that the bar recognizes
, his eminent fitness for the place 1t is
stated however. that in view of the fact
that The aged Judge Brewer is on the
bendh from the cElEhth district no one
win be taken from this district to TN the
vacancy.

OF letters approving his suggestion Of q
change IN the Iowa laws to permit making

lanes made narrow and not permit the
making OF highways which grow Up tc
