After Information.
County officers OF the state who
are asking for copies of the new laws
with reference to the increasing or
salaries Of county officers are being
advised that the only way they can
get the new measures is to write in
to the secretary of state for certified
copies. The time has arrived when
the county officers can draw their
first instalment on the new wage
scale, but the counties have not been
officially notified of the acts Of the
general assembly, the officials say.
This is due to the fact that the supple
mental supplement which Is to take
the place of the session laws, has
been delayed so 1t may be bound with
the index of the code and the supple
ment.
Temperance Laws Strict.
W. B. Barney, state dairy and food
commissioner, has sent out to in
spectors of the department instruc-
tons to prosecute grocers' who sail
lemon and vanilla extracts as bever-
ages. In view of the strict temper
ance laws enacted by the general as
sembly, 1t is believed that persons
wanting alcoholic drink will resort to
the use OF medicated booze and ex-
tracts. The department has always
had more or less trouble on account
Of the sale by the grocer of fraction
al strength lemon and vanilla flavor
ing extract as beverage. Since the
enactment of the more stringent tenn
perance legislation by the last gener-
al assembly, these complaints are be-
coming more frequent than ever.
Writ of certiorari Issued.
In the supreme court writ OF GER
tiorari was issued in the case OF the
Title Guaranty & Surety company vs..
R. p. Howell, Judge of the district
court of Iowa county. This case in
wolves a surety bond on which the
state attempted to recover. The COM
pany brought up the question that the
original service in the case was on
the auditor of state, and not the in
surance commissioner. This matter
is now being fought over. II it is de-
termined that the auditor could not
accept service, 1t will be too late to
begin a new action as the statute OF
limitations would have run against the
claim.

agriculture has written to w. B. Bar

arrangement will not need to organize
sales force.

State officials have received pic
lures of the Iowa party at San Fran
cisco exposition in which Governor
Clarke appears In a silk hat. 1t is
