French Canadian
Tells Stories

Francis Labadie, a French Can
adian story teller of no mean ability,
delighted the Chautauqua regulars"
which are legion-Thursday morn
ing and evening with stories of Alas
kan and French Canadian life. In
the morning his selections were prin-
cipally from Alaska. Among them
was Robert w. Services "The Shoot
ing of Dan McGrew" He gave this
in very dramatic manner which
kept the listeners sitting straight in
their seats all the time. He also told
something of the life of the author
of this poem. In the afternoon he
gave a number of selections by Drum
mond, writer of French Canadian
verse, among them Little Baptiste."
No one could have given these little
whispers from that poetic race in a
more natural way.

Des Moines. July 327.-The biennial
report of the state banking depart
ment for the period ending June ~,
1916, which is now being prepared, will
show that thirty-five private banks
have organized under state super
vision in the last two years. These in
stitutions have a combined capital OF
s1.115,0O0 and deposits of more than
100000.
With the ranks Of the private banks
thinned by thirtyfi five state bankers
believe that it will be possible to over
come the opposition in the next gem
eral assembly and enact law pro-
vding for state supervision over all
banks.
There are now 1919 state and saw
ings banks in Iowa. under@the super
vision of the state banking depart

consolidated with others, so that the
net gain in number Of banks in the
biennial period is 105. ~
The report of the state banking de-
partment will be issued at once under
a ruling of the state document editor.
He has allowed the bank report to be
published independent Of the state
auditors report. This will permit the
bank figures to be issued within sixty
days. The auditors report will not
be issued until several months later.

CHILD PLAGUE SPREADING.
More Cases Of Infantiie Paralysis Re-
ported in Iowa.

De. Moines, July 27.-State officials
l.. Wheeler, health officer, that there
are FIVE cases of nfantile paralysis in
Mason City. This brings the total!
number Of cases Of this disease in Iowa
to nineteen.
DR.. Wheeler asked the state board
Of health for instructions as to how
long quarantine should be maintained
in the infantile paralysis cases. He was
instructed that the quarantine should
be for period of not less than twenty
one days. The last case 20 develop al
Mason City was reported last Sunday.
Previous to yesterday the state board
of health had received no reports from
Mason City. There were rumors that
the disease had gained a foothold in
that city, but nothing definite was
known. 1t is said that no deaths have
resulted so far.
Mason City was hit hardest in 1910
by the epidemic of infantile paralysis.
At that time Cerro GordO county had
seventy-siX cases. of which sixty were
in Mason City. There were number
of deaths.
The officials do not explain why the
new appearance of this disease was
not promptly reported to the state. II
is believed that the cases have been
handled in way to prevent an cpl
demic from developing at Mason City
The state officials are watching
twelve other points in the state where
there are cases Of this disease. AT
Ames where two cases developed Mon
day, it is believed that the disease has
been checked and that there will be no
new cases. At Ottumwa, where two
cases were reported, there has been no
spread Of the disease.

STATE CONFRONTED WITH Me-
cEsslTY OF ERECTING. NEW
OFFICE BUILDING.
OFFICIALS DISAGREE.
OVER ITS USES
Whether to Erect Temple Of Justice
For Supreme Court or Building to
House State Officers Problem For
Lesislature-Many Officials Now
Housed in Flats Adjacent to Capitol.
Special to rimes-Republican.


Des Moines, July 27.-The next state
legislature will probably have to decide
the matter Of whether a state office
building shall be erected on the capitol
grounds or a temple of justice. The
lawyers and members of the supreme
court want temple Of justice while
many Of the state officials want an Of
flee building.
In either event the legislature will
probably have to make an especial
appropriation for the building as the
council is now practically out Of funds
or will be when it takes care of the
payments it has to meet on the new
bridge over Court avenue south Of the
state house. The tax money which
will be coming in next season will have
to be expended on the grounds.
A. II. Dawson, secretary Of the ex-
ecutiye council, favors an office build
ing. He says building which would
meet the needs could be erected for
100000. The plans as originally
adopted by the legislature included an
office building to be erected on Capt.
toll avenue between Twelfth and Thir-
teenth.
I'VE will be compelled to find addi-
tional room for the archives and the
documents from the various depart
ments soon," said Mr.. Dawson in dis
cussing this building matter. THE
room in the historical building in
which these are stored was never in
tended for such purpose and it is now
loaded to the limit. We had an archi-
tect look over the room short time
ago and he said it would not be safe to
store any more documents there.
IF we had an office building we
could move all Of the offices out of the
basement Of the state house and then
each state officer could use the rooms
directly under his office for his docu-
ments. They would then be where he
could get at them and could be kept in
good condition.
We have many of our state officers
now in flats outside Of the state house
and these flats will all have to como
down, according to the capitol extern
sion plans. It will therefore be abso-
lutely necessary to provide room for
them"
fla temple Of justice is erected the
state law library, the supreme court
rooms and the attorney generals Of
fices would I'll be housed therein, leav-
ing the space now used by these offices
for other state officials.
