Clark Was "Barred."
There was for a time talk OF Lieu
tenant Governor Clarke as a candidate.
There has never been the slightest
chance of this since the day the per-
sonnet of the state board of education
was decided upon and Dallas county
was fixed" Personally Clarke would
like to be candidate and is very
confident he could be nominated, but
he will not be a candidate.
At the time Of the progressive BAN
quet in Des Moines Jan. large dele
cation of republicans from Council
Bluffs and elsewhere came to Des
Moines with big petition asking that
Governor Garst be a candidate for a
second term. The pressure was very
strong for Garst to come out. Garst
stated plainly that personally he was
not ambitious and not urging the mat
teri was for the progressives gen.
orally to say. AS the net result of a
few informal conferences it was de-
cided that at least at that time moth
ing should be done.
But since then, by reason of the sit
uation both at Washington and IN
Iowa, the expressions favorable to
we'll defined campaign on issues in the
state have Increased rapidly. and there
is a general demand that some one
shall in fact take the leadership in or
Ter that the contest shall be made.
1t may therefore be said that altho
within thirteen weeks of primary day
he whole situation is in the air.

MAKING Walls Tight.

Alum and lye applied to the exterior
suprface of cement walls with a cal
Ginning brush has been found eff
fective in keeping out water. Use one
pound of lye and three pounds OF alum
dissolved in two gallons OF water. A
very effective method OF preventing
moisture thru walls that extend be-

application Of two coats Of coal tar
to the exterior surface of the wall, the

Two Kind. Of cataIpas.

There are two species Of catalpas
found in the corn belt-(a) catalpa
catalpa; OBJ catalpa speciosa.
OF these two varieties the catalpa
speciosa is the more important from
the economic point of view because 1t
is the variety that produces the BEST
timbers for posts and poles. as the 9TH
er species heads exceedingly low and
the trunk or bowl grows very crooked.
This is one way Of distinguishing the
two sorts, and also the catalpa speci-
osa has much larger pods and they
hang more in clusters.

Miss Pearl lea Bailey was the third

ficult one. But she handled it with
the greatest of competency, and in de-
livery she made a very good impress
sion. The expressive variations of her
voice held the audience at all times

Leander Clark, in a truly fine manner
His deep resonant voice resembling that
of Edward Stodghill brought him much
praise from the audience.
Last Was First.
The last orator to take the platform
was Henry Coleman, Cornelrs colored
orator. His theme was one that ap-
pealed very strongly to him, The
Philosophy of the Race Problem; he
handled it in a most brilliant manner.
His very soul seemed to be stirred with
1t and altho many of the audience
seemed to tire of the last few speakers,
not one was inattentive to the Cor
nell man. His flowing and eloquent
language embodied the highest of
thoughts and composition, and with his
and brillancy of delivery
won for him the title of the best orator
in the state.

Hopes to Remove Stock incubus From
Equitable Life.
New York. March At was learned
that plan is being formulated by J..
p. Morgan and his representatives to
make absolute provision for the future
OF the Equitable Life Assurance Society
and its many thousands of policy hold
ers turnout the world. The intention
is to establish the society upon a dis
tilctly mutual basis. BY virtue of his
purchase Of 502 shares Of the Equit-
able's stock, representing a majority
interest last November Morgan con-
trolls the society outright and has 1t in
his power to say what the future policy
of the Equitable shall be.
Under the terms Of the trust agree
ment made by Thomas +. Ryan with
the late Grover Cleveland, ex-Justice
Morgan j. O'Brien, and George West
inghouse, as trustees, the control OF
the majority interest of the Equitable
Life stock was placed with the three
trustees named for the five year period
following June Is, 1905. That agree
ment will expire, therefore, within
three months, and the surviving trus-
tees exJustice O'Brien and George
Westingh ouse, have signified their will
lingness to terminate the arrangements
On that date.
Before Morgan's departure for Eu-
rope last month he held conferences
with friends and business associates
respecting the disposition of the Equi-
table stock, and it is known that
careful plan was drawn up, with the
idea of providing a final arrangement
before the trust agreement expired. A
man familiar with the details Of the
plan said that it represented the most
far reaching agreement of the kind
ever made in the history Of American
life insurance. The main idea, he add
ed, Will be to protect the policy hold
ers to insure the operation of the So
ciety upon distinctly mutual basis.
