Des Molnes, Jan, 12.-H. W. Byers TO-
day announced his acceptance OF tho
position of corporation counsel for Des
'Moines stating his reasons to be brlef-
" the desire of his family to remain
here. the attractlveness of an oppor-
tunity to get into service that
offers field for much value to the pub
ic. and because it will offer him an
opportunity to ultimately get Into tho
practice here.
Still Receptive Candidate.
In making his announcement Byers
says th.t this does not change ms at
titude toward the sel,atorship. that the
support rendered him has been upon
the theory that his record warrants
such support and he will not change
his attitude toward the campaign he
denies emphatically that he has done
any work or that others have singled
him out for election to the senate.
and he would not want votes for the
place on any basis other than of con-
fidence that he could be of value to the
state as a senator.
Eliminates Him From Senatorship.
However. it is evident that Mr.. Byers
would not have accepted the Des
Moines call had he expected to be-
come United States senate. and his fol-
lowing among progressives will un-
doubtedly be divided among the re-
naming candidates. Funk, Garst. and
Kenyon, in about the order named.

QUAIL SCARCE
Predatory Animals Kill the
Most of Them Off Dur
ing the Drought.

The sportsman who has not been
afield to find out for himself will be
sorry TO learn that he will not be
able to bag his twelve quail day
this fall as often as he did last year.
While there were plenty of quail
at the close ofthe last season hunt
ing, they are not in evidence now.
The drought during the summer
which parcbed the fields and mead
ows is believed to be the cause OF
the scarcity. There being no vege-
tation to hide in it made the quaE
an easy prey for the hawk, the do
nestle cat, the self-huntlng dog and
the predatory animals.
1t is estimated that the hawks kill
from eight to ten times the number
the sportsmen kill, as they hunt
them every day of the year. but they
got more than their share during
the drought of this summer.
