4 Des Moines, April SO.-Dr. J. /. Glib.
son, state veterinarian, has Eeen urged
to go to Kansas City to attend meet
ing tomorrow of veterinarians from g
number of states 20 see what can be
done to have relaxed some Of the reg
ulations that were made because of the
foot and mouth epidemic. There will
be men representing the animal health
departments from most of the middle
western states and a general compari-
son of notes and exchange of informa-
ton.
Texas shut down entirely on ship
ments into that state Of any livestock
They would not permit importa ton OF
horse or a mule from any Of the
states having trouble. Colorado was
nearly as bad. 1t IS thought that now
is time to have a change made.
The epidemic in Iowa as in the
states farther west has now been fair
~ well brought to an end because OF
the measures taken to end it, and un-
less there are some new cases all these
states will soon be clear.
row of the army board of the Iowa
the matter of reorganization of the
guard and the disposition of encamp-
mentS.
One of the matters of first impor-
lance is to decide on the location OF
the two new artillery companies. There
is one now in Clinton. Dubuque. Mus
cariro and noyorror% ora ,bo
other two. The chances seem to favor
Davenport and Muscatine, as that will
group the three companies nicely and
not far from the United States arsenal
in Rock Island. But Dubuque is also
favorably considered. The United
States authorities will keep a man in
charge of all the artillery companies
for instruction, and he can include the
companies over in Illinois md Wiscon-
sin.
But two of the enca mpments have
been definitely located-at Clear Lake
and Red Oak. The necessity for mus
tering out one regiment Of the infan-
try will force some changes in plans
for the other encampments.
Officers of the Louden company OF
Fairfield were before the state execu-
tive council on the matter Of incorpo-
ration of the company which is now a
partnership and not corporated. The
company will be capitalized for $780,
600, and it is up to the council to pass
on the value of the property to be
taken over as representing stock OF
that value. The company is one Of the
most extensive makers of farm ma
chinery and devices in the state.
Considerable activity IN regard tc
the Rainsbarger case IS evident again
and 1t is supposed that the matter will
be taken up by the governor at an
early day. All efforts to reconcile the
conflicting claims and representations
Of persons interested for and against
the Rainsbargers have failed and prob
ably the matter will be decided some
time solely with regard to the men
themselves and their remnants Of lives
Messrs. Wilson and Guiher Of the
railroad commission, were up to For,
Dodge this week and visited two places
where farm crossing or overhead
crossing matters are under considera-
ton. They also have been looking
after some condemnation cases and q
number of transmission line contro-
versies. They are at Charlton today
on condemnation case. The number
of these condemnation cases indicates
that the railroads are continually max
ing improvements m their equipment
