Herbert a. HUFF Delivers Aooress AT
Celebration Of Birthday Anniversary.
Special to Times Republican.
Eldora, Feb. 15-The anniversary OF
the birthday of Abraham Lincoln was
observed in the Eldora Methodist
church last evening with heftting eX-
ercises. The music by choir and con-
gregation was in keeping with the oc-
casion. The speaker of the evening
was Hon. Herbert A. Huff. for two
terms representative in the lower house
of the Iowa legislature. While Mr.. Hun
is a lawyer by vocation, he appeared
equally at home in the pulpit as before
the judge or jury in the courts. He
showed that he had given close study
of the life of the great emancipation and
familiarized himself with the history
of the life of Lincoln Notwithstanding
the inclemency of the weather, the
church was well filled and the speaker
of the evening held the audiences close
attention while delivering forty-min-
ute eulcgy of the martyred president.
Mr. Huff has on many occasions prov
EN- TO the people of Hardin county that
he was an orator OF more than ordin-
airy ability. but when dealing with the
life of Lincoln he fairly outdid his rep
utation and was the recipient of many
and hearty congratulations. The old
soldiers of the city attended the exer-
cises in a body.

Special 10 Tim es- publican.
Des Moines, Feb. 15-According TO
the rules of the senate today IS last
day for getting in the appropriation
bills, as individual members can not
introduce bills after Feb. 15-Commii-
tee bills can be introduced, however, or
the rule may be waved. AS a matter
OF fact not all the appropriation bills
are yet before the legislature, but there
are a sunicien; number TO SHOW that
the problem OF adjusting expenditures
TO income is the greatest one o. all.
The committee on appropriations has
a subcommittee at work now on the
problem Of deciding how much money
ought to be given the railroad commits
sion for the prosecution OF rate cases.
1t has a committee at work on the
subject of the -nlllage taxes and TO re-
port on the returns from these taxes
and how the money : being USED.
These millage taxes are used az All
the state institutions.
The last of the big appropriation bills
are presented today by Chairman Roo
inson OF the board Of control commit
tee. This was the omnibus bill for
board of control institutions. Chairman
Savage of the approximations commit
tee last week presented the omnibus
bill for the board of education instltu-
tions.
The two bills call for appropriations
far beyond the visible supply Of
money. The board Of education Dill
calls for an increase in expenditures
of over half million and the board
OF education bill about $4,000. But
unless there is a special millage tax
for the epileptic colony the board OF
control bill Will be at least doubled IN
size. The board of control recommend

The board has made some slight
changes In these askings and the ag-
gregate is little higher in the bill as
presented.
The prohibitory amendment and
muIct law repeal measures are sched-
I uled for immediate passage in the
i house and this will remove a big dis
. turbing element which has thus Tar
stood in the way Of any legislation on
general topics The mulct law repeal
|. bill is to be pushed ahead of the other
), in the house, tho it would appear Of
e little Importance which takes prece-
= dence now. 1t is assumed that as soon
&c as the mulct law repeal bill is passed
4 practically all Of the bills which are
a to amend the rnulct law will be aban-
= doned For instance, the bills to in
!. crease the perc entage on a petition, to
. shorten saloon hours and all such bills
= will be useless after the mulct law is
- repealed. This will greatly relieve the
!, situation as most of these bills gave
/. promise Of disturbing things in the leg
islature.
The house has set for special order
tomorrow the reconsideration Of the
bill TO appropriate for the San Fran
cisco exposition Inc return or the
nv. bill to the house who was due to the
fact that a motion to reconsider had
not been disposed Of before II went to
the senate Tho there has appeared
a good deal of opposition TO the bill in
es the house. even since it was passed, yet
