DIES MONIES, Jan 26.-(special Tele-
gramD-A resolution asking for the resub-
mission Of the constitutional amendment
question for state wide prohibition will be
read before tomorrow sessions OF the
legislature by committee representing the
Iowa Constitutional Amendment associ-
alton
This movement was decided upon by the
association at the convention today. A
committee Of twenty-five will be appointed
to go among the legislators for the pur-
pose OF learning the sentiment Of the legis-
lators on resubmission. The amendment
association will be Incorporated and become
a permanent body.

Fort Dodge a check for 81, $50. to apply
on the fund for an Allison monument

With the three republican candidates for
the senate practically tied, a movement
for a caucus has been started again. and
is being urged by the friends Of Funk. As
yet no definite plans have been laid, but
outside pressure is being brought to effect

Tax Ferret Bm Favored.
1t is now regarded as practically certain
that a bill will pass the legislature repeal
ing the law entire as to tax ferrets. such
a bill has been favorably recommended TO
the house and viii be adopted. The senti-
ment In the state is strong against per-
hitting tax ferrets to further harass the
owners of large amounts of personal prop
erty, because there is a belief that this
is one reason why the state is being de-
populated. Bills to abolish taxes on mon
eys and credits will have harder shedding,
| though IL the latter was adopted the for
mer would be unnecessary.
Horseshoe Liens Not LegaIIEed.
The senate today refused to consider fur
! Their the bill of Garnett to give the black
smith a lien on horse for the shoes he has
placed on the animal. The bill would also
give lien on a wagon or other implement
or vehicle for repairs. The bill was post
poned.
| Board of Health Change.
! Although two years ago there was great
agitation for the passage of a bill to ef-
| feet a complete change in the state board
! of health, and TO substitute a commits
sion Of three on salary for the large board
on a per deim basis, yet this year the
same measure is opposed by persons who
were formerly for it, The senate COM
mittee undertook to have a hearing on the
bill, which is being urged by at least one
member of the state board Of health, but
failed to reach any agreement.
stands by New Orleans.
The house stood firm in it's admiration
for New Orleans as the proper place for
the canal exposition and refused by vote
of Sc to IS TO agree to the change made
by the senate substituting San Francisco
This will end the matter as there will
probably be no further effort to instruct
the Iowa delegation.
The house passed a bill by I.ounsberry to
straighten out the law in regard to collec-
ton of fees by county clerks. The senate
passed four bills of minor Importance. one
will permit courts to send boys to jail in
