Ida Grove, March 22.-The largest
verdict ever returned by a jury in the
district court of Ida county was the
one in favor Of Hannah Drake in the
sensational lawsuit conducted in her
behalf by her attorneys. The suit was
commenced Monday, and consumed the
entire week with the exception of one
day, when one of the jurors was ex-
cused on account of illness in his fam
lily.
The case was one of great interest
and attracted more attention than any
case tried here in many years on ac-
count of the long residence of all the
parties concerned and the members
Of the law firms connected Herewith.
The suit involved the right of the
plaintiff, who was a sister of the de-
PENDANT administrator, to recover
against her mothers estate for the SER
vices rendered in taking care of the
latter for many years. The right of
the daughter to recover was denied by

Withdrawn 80. b
The only bill, it will be seen, that
might be regarded as Of general and
statewide interest, which passed to
firish the last week was one by Hell
mer to change the law as to recovery
on woman's estate and that is tied up
in conference. A few years ago the
legislature made it possible to recover
on behalf Of husband for the loss of
wife because of loss Of companion
ship, ETC., but it placed a limit OF $4,000
on such recovery. The senate passed
bill removing the limit entirely. The
house is willing 20 place the limit
higher than as now but not to entirely
remove the limit
The bill on support Of consolidated
school districts permits taxes that will
give the same support as to other
school districts. The bill amending as
to the abortion law is intended to make
it easier to secure convictions. The
mill in regard to sale of drugs makes
exposing or offering for sale the same
as actually selling.
Among the bills that passed one
house or the other that are likely to
become laws are the ones authorizing
farm mortgage banks, son.e of the
temperance bills. pay for Judges and
reporters, monthly pay day on rail-
roads, relating to care Of tuberculous,

special to Times-Republican.

Special to Times Republican
Des Moines, March %. Legislative
work the past week has not been
greatly encouraging for adjournment
at the usual time. Early adjournment
long ago became an impossiuility.
The process that is going on right
now is one preliminary to having the
legislature abandon and repudiate Its
proper function Of legislation with de-
liberation and passage of bills on merit,
ard to establish absoluteism in small
way in order to get something DONE
The work is merely being piled up TOR
the inevitable sifters.
The house now has more than eighty
OF it's bills over in the senate and the
senate has more than fifty OF its blIls
over in the house. Out of that group
of bills will come most Of the legisla-
ton of the session. Just what it shall
be will depend on the sifters.
The house passed much the larger
number Of bills the past week. but
nearly all house bills. It is evident the
play of the house Is TO load the senate
with its bills and then undertake to
force their consideration. But this Is
to be the situation very soon, that
deadlock Is to be discovered and the
whole Job be turned over to choice
few for settlement Then will come the
struggle. One Of three things will hap
pen. namely:
There will be an effort 20 fight 1t out
by a long and hard struggle and test OF
endurance.
There will be frank recognition OF
the deadlock and acceptance OF the de-
.ision of the siftera
There may be getting mad and
sudden quitting with no good record
for the legislature.
In view Of the almost certainty that
within a few days the weather will
warm up and spring open it is probable
the legislators will get restless and
anxious to close up. The house al
ways feels this resrlessensess first. The
farmers in the house want to get home
when the warm days come; the bank
ers and lawyers Of the senate can stand
it a little longer.
But it is probable that there will be
a breaking away about the middle OF
next month, the sitting committees
having cleared the calendars Of much
Of the important business. But the
work Of the past week has not indi-
Gated that the legislature is preparing
to quit.

continues, "that the United States is in better condition to face such a situation than for years past. The tide, 1t seems, has turned. Instead of live stock steadily de- creasing year after year, this year, for tie first time, all classes show an appreciable increase, including horses, mules, milch cows, beef cat tie. sheep, and swine, there were on Jauary 1, 1915, 7,712,ooo moro farm animals in the United States than on January l, 1914. The in- crease in the total value was S7S,- O24,OOO or 1.3 per cent. It is quite true that this increase is not yet proportional to the increase in popu- la.ion. which is approximately 2 per cent: but the fact that there is an increase that the tides seem defin- itely to have turned, Is regarded as q sufficient answer to all alarming congregations and misleading fig Ures.'

IF
 NICE PRESENTS

Master Joseph Pedersen and Miss Ruth Pedersen, sen and daughter of Rev. and Mrs. L. H. Pedersen of Skagway, were the recipients the other day, upon the arrival of the Spokane, of two handsome and valu- able presents-that of the former being a gold watch and chain and of the latter a diamond ring-the don or being Mrs. Brewster, of New York city, an old friend of the Ped ersen family, with whom the parents visited while in that citv in 1909.
 The gold watch given to Joseph Pedersen is one that was presented to Mrs. Brewster by her late hus- band, who passed away many years ago, and the gold chain was one of the presents received when she was married in 1871.
 The diamond ring given to Miss Ruth Pedersen is one which Mrs Brev ster had had ever since she wa li;Ie girl.
 Mrs. Brewster is an aunt of Geo Walbridge Perkins, the well-know New York financier, who was prom inently identified with the Roose' welt presidential campaign.

GOVERNORS OF MOST
 STATES LIVE IN LUXURY

Indianapolis, Feb. 24-Having re- ceived no encouragement from Sam uel M. Ralston, democratic gov ernor of Indiana, the bill to pro vide him with costly residence is dead soon after its birth, just as half a dozen others had died before 1t. Indiana governors, particularly Thomas R. Marshall and Governor Ralston, nave preferred to pay rent rather than spend state funds for mansion.
 Investigation by the office of John A. Lapp, legislative reference bureau chief, disclosed that other states have not been SO slow in bestowing magnificance on their chief executives. Illinois, for in- stance, not only has provided a Gumptuous mansion in the exclusive residential district, but has formed the habit of handing the governor $15,0OO a year additional for cigars, servant hire, "upkeep,' reception ex- penses, etc.
 Southern hospitality may have led three southern states to out-dtstance all competitors in providing for thei governors. Maryland spent $25o,- 900; North Carolina S150,000 and Georgia $1OO,OO0. Maryland gives her governor the handsome sum ot S10,OOO annually to maintain his mansion, while the governor ot North Carolina is left high and dry without state aid in taking care of his costly home. Kentucky appro- prIated s9S,OOO for the mansion and then raised the Governors sal ary $1,5O0 a year to take care of the up-keep.
 "Hoos!eu Democrats" point with pride to the fact that the vice presi- dent when governor refused to accept tn4 price of hia rent from the legislature and to Governor Ralston who promised to veto the measure giving him home

$10 9 pair are further away than ever, the department of agriculture announces, for the reason that for tha first time in many years all classes of live stock in the United States are increasing in numbers.
 Despite the raVages of foot-and- mouth disease, the number of beef cattle increased by nearly million and a quarter, or 3.4 per cent, last year, after declining steadily ever since 1910. There were half a mil lion more milch COWS on January l than a year ago. Swine increased nearly 6,0O0,00O, or more than nine per cent. In the face of the eX- portation of horses to the allies these animals increased 233,OOO head. and there is no reason to fear a shortage of horses, says the department. The increasing use Of autos took the average price of horses down S6 and mules down $11.50 during the year.
 Importation of hides showed Q falling off. There is, however" says the department, little reason to suppose this decrease will be permanent or of sufficient i'm portance to create any real scarcity Since the great bulk of the importe' hides do not come from countries nov at war, shipments are not interfereo with in any way, and the only new factor to be considered is the pos sibility of an increasing demand by the warning countries.
