Des Moines, Sept. 10. - There has
been a rumor that because OF his cleo
ton to the position Of commsnder-in-
chief of the q. A. r. Col. d. j. Palmer
will resign his position on the state
railroad commission and lot fill out
the year. This is not true, and there
can be no need for any such action.
OF the commander In cniaf will be the
carrying on of correspondence with de-
partment officials to secure and collate
and publish their reports and the work
will be largely Of clerical character.
The coloners term ends with the pres
ent year. After the frat of next year
1t Will be expected that the COM
mander-in-c chief will visit the various
departments and attend as many camp
fires and department encampments as
possible. The colonel will then be loose
and ready for this sort Of strenuous
work in the field, and IL goes without
saying that. no man ever elected COM
mander- in chief was better able to do
this than the Iowa man.
In response to a very urgent request
the Iowa health exhibits to be sent
/ to the interstate fair in Sioux City. 1t
attracted general attention a the state
fair and was commented upon by very
many as one of the finest showings to
attract attention to the need Of SANTA
ton and care Of the health ever made
up anywhere. There was cooperation
among state officials in the prepara-
ton of this exhibit.
