DKS MOIN'ns , DEC. 23. ( Special. ) Whllo
the general assembly will not convene for
more than a fortnight , the , canvass for the
spsnkershlp of the lower Jiouse may now be
slid to bo "on" In earnest. It Is admitted on
all sides that the election of a speaker ot the
liouso Is going lo largely determine the trend
of legislation for the session. Many Important
nutters of general legislation will cnler Into
this contest as "side Issues , " bill the main
factor that will Influence If not control the
choice of the members In the selection cf a
speaker Is th ? question of future liquor legis
lation. The republican party no nutter what
efforts may be made to disguise 1J has ar
rived at Hie "parting of the wlfys. " Shall
the party go back and engage In n vain effort
to enforce state-wide prohibition and force n
vote upon a prohibition amendment lo the
state constitution on the eve of a presidential
election , tit the behest of the prohibition ele
ment , or shall further legislation on the
Una of Die mulct law b ? enacted nnd the
party brought squarely In line with the na
tional policy ? These arc the questions that
the contending factions In the next legisla
ture will 1mo to grapple In earnest , and
which will bo practically settled by the
makeup of tlo commlttecs'ln the lower house ,
The standing committee on suppression of
Intemperance , which will b appointed by the
speaker , under the rules of t'nc house can
exercise almost rbsolute * control over all
matters referred to It for consideration , and
by promptly reporting or pigeonholing bills
n bare majority of this committee can dic
tate all legislation on this subject. It was
the s'ubbornncss of Chairman Funk nnd his
followers , who controlled this ccmmltte ? two
years ago , that prolonged the fight till tlie
very close of the session , and came neir de
feating all efforts to modify the prohibitory
law. The re-election of Funk nnd his cl ter
mination to again control the makeup of t'.ils
Important committee and thereby "call a
halt to further legislation In the Interest of
the saloon" has thoroughly nrousfrd the lib
eral clement In the nartv. and It will b > n
fight to a finish.
CANDIDATES FOR TUG PLACE.
As the canvass for the tpeak rshlp pro
gresses It becomes more and nnre evident
that the vttej of the liberal members will
bo cast solidly In the caucus for Hon. II.V. .
lljcrs of ShoCby for spiaker.
Mr. Ilyen ? a dozen years ago was a farm-
Innd. Ha sus3quently sludled law and was
admitted lo the bar. He was unanimously
chosen speaker pro tern of the house
at the list session and became be
fore the clos-a of his firjt lerm
an acknowledged leader. De'Oti j tin buppnr !
Indicated he I > 3 certain to recehe some sub
stantial asslstanc ; on account of loc-illty
western Iowa cot having had the ppcaltershlp
for nearly n scor3 of years
Tin opposition to Mr. Byero will hardly
bo able to unite upon a candidate b'forelund ,
or until a full understanding In rcgaid to
the disposition of the principal chairman
ships Is reached. Mr. GrI.-wcrM . of Buchanan
will receive support from Hie nortlieistrii
part of the state , and Jack Morrltor of
Keckuk ccunly will lllrly be In Iho race.
II Is altogether probable , however , lhal W. S.
Allen .cf Van lluren will b ? Mr. flyers' chief ,
If not his only competitor , at the end of the
strussle. Mr. Allen enjojs the distinction of
being the only r presentatho re-elected from
Van lluren county In twenty years. Ho Is
the author of the "C3 per cent clause" cf the
mulct law , and undoubtedly saved thai meas
ure from defeat by his tlni'ly amendment.
The effect of this provision restricted the-
operatlonu of the mulct outside of large cities
to those Interior counties where at least G5
per cent c.f the votes were favorable to the
measure. It Is altogether likely that Mr.
Allen la willing to make a deal with Funk
and hla supporter. ? In order to secure votes
for the BpeaKershlp , and sjch a combine may
have been already formed.
A careful poll of the btata ccnatc greatly
encourages the liberals in Ihe lower house
In their efforts to control the Drginlzatlcn of
that body. Of the forty-three republicans
in that body not more than twenly at Iho
outsldo will favor rssubmlsslon , while a
manufaclureJ bill will probably receive Ihe
support of twenty-thieo republicans only
three short of a constitutional maj.rlty.

DCS MOINES , Dec. 23. ( Special. ) The
feature of the meeting of the Stale Tcjch-
er * ' aseoclallon lo be held here Tuesday ,
Wednesday nnd Thursday , will be the con
test in the college departmenl over a pro
posed classification which will result , if
adopted , In the leccgnltlon of only ten col
leges In the state. Smaller Institutions bear
ing Iho name of college will be lefl without
recognition. This quarrel among the col
leges Is not a new thing In the convention.
At the session last year a committee pre
viously appointed reported the same sys-
lem of classification which will come up
this year. The fight against Its adoption
was led by President IJeardshear cf the
State Agricultural college , who encccc-dcd In
getting the matter referred back to the
committee , which was enlarged , The committee
mittee- will report agiln , but will adhere
to Its former classification. Whllo accord
ing to the report ten colleges will be recog
nized , two divisions will be made class
"A" and "II. " In class "A" are placsd
only Hires colleges , the State university ,
Iowa and Cornell colleges. These are the
only Inptltullons coming "fully up" lo the
committee's requirement ! , ; but seven ol'ier
Institutions are admitted to class "II" on
the grounds Ihat they do excellent work
and come nearly up to the requirements.
These arc : Penn college , Oakaloosa , Das
Molnea college , DCS Mollies , which Is nlfill-
ated with Chicago university ; Drake uni
versity , De ? Molnes ; Tabor college , Tabor ;
Parson college , Filrfleld ; Simpson college ,
Indlanola ; Coo college , Cedar Rapids ; Upper
Iowa university , Fayetle ; Luther college ,
Decorah ; Iowa Wcsley.in unlvcnlty , Mount
Pleasant ; Pella college , Palla , and Western
college , Toledo.
The requirements of the commlt'os ' In
order tint an Institution shall ha entitled
to rank as a college are : Satisfactory con
ditions of admission ; correct organization
of courses nnd a sufficient force of Instruc
tion to create a colUga atmosphere ; ftctlty
of Instruction , contlstlng of al least eight
chairs , psychology and ethics , ancient lan
guages , mathematics and astronomy , Eng
lish language and literature , physics and
chemistry , modern languages , hutory and
political science , and the biological sciences.
For the sake of admitting the clars "II"
colhgcy this scheme le modified to sfx
chairs , bunching the physical sciences and
English and history.
There would probably ba an Inconspicu
ous objection U. the scheme because of the
weakness of the Institutions which cannot
come up at least to the class "H" re-
quliements were It not for the fact that
the committee arranseil to shut out the Ag-
i ( cultural and Mechanical college , located
at Ames. This gives the opponents of the
committee report the support cf the powerful
faculty of the college , Its numerous alumni
and those who think that ths comr.illt"t ; .
cor.feJttlng o ] representative or o'.dl ' line
colleges , was prejudiced against the modern
scUntlflc trend of Hie Institution al Ames ,
The only shortcoming of the Agricultural
college' , In the eyes of the committee , was
that It doss not maintain a chair cf either
ancient or modern languages. Gsrman and
Latin are taught and French to the female
ttudents , but by Iimructois , a * language h
made subsidiary to scknce. The Institution
1ms the largest faculty In the state , with
the exception of tip Stite university , and
the science departments arc , unequaled In
Iowa , elth'r in number of protestors mid
Instructors or labor.it ry facilities. Seven
or eight courjes of Ptudy are cff red , whlc'i
are admitted lo be thorough , but they are
all based on science. The Agricultural col

SIOUX FALLS , S. D. , D = c. 20. ( Special. )
Ben' P. Hoover , iccelver of the Gettys-btirg
State bank , which cut so great a figure In
the Taylor Investigation and trial , spent the
clay In Ihls clly. He stated that as receiver
for the bank h : > would at the next term cf
court Institute proceedings to recover from
the rlale and from Illinois parties land to
the value of about $10,000. Taylor claimed
to have lost some $70.000 in the Gettysburg
bank three months beford his flight. Tlie
stats has levied on Ihe property belonging
lt > the bank , bought cut all the other stock
holders but ono , and paid off the liabilities ,
taking the assets. Part of these was the Lsp-
pelman ranch , In Potter county , a valuable
pleco of property. Before Taylor acqulrd full
tltlo to the stock he traded this ranch nt a
valuation of $25,000 with James Taylor for
a mercantile business In Newton , 111. , paying
same $1C,000 additional In cash. The New
ton property was net deeded to ths bank ,
but lo Ihe Chicago Mercantile agency , which
Taylor and his friends formed. When Taylor
lurned over the $100,000 to the state last
summer he raised a part of It by selling this
Nov.ton proprtj. In the meantime James
Taylor had sold the ranch to George Scott
of Carton , PIrle , Scott & Co. cf Chicago.
Mr. Hcover will sue Scott to recover tlllo
lo this ranch , selling up Ihat Iho officers of
the Gettysburg bank had no right under
their charter and the laws to make the trad ?
with the Newton people , nnd that the bank
never received any consideration. In case
the bank wins th's ' suit , It will be shown
that Taylor's Chicago Mercantile ag ncy had
no lltle lo Iho Newton property , and the
parties to whom he sold v nnd from whom
ho received the mncy which he turned over
to the state will have to glv ? It up.
Hoover ban also begun cult against the
Btato lo recover ulna quarter Eccllsru ot land
belonging to the bank which Taylor flUrt as
collateral to a note- from 0. W. Tenney which
ho lurned In as assets , the note blng for
$11,000. The basis of this suit will be that
Ihlo land bo'c/ngs , not lo Taylor , bul to the
Getlysburg bank , as Taylor had no right
lo dlhposo of It , there being another stock
holder who wan not consulted. If thlo I'ult
I.i succcs'iful , the state will lose the$11,000 ,
by virtlio of Ihls collateral which has
ben considered go' . The attaci m rti whlrh
the state filed against ( lie aiots ef the Innk
on Ihe ground , Ihat they belonged to Taj lor ,
have already been bet aside on the polltlon
of this other ctockholder , who owns one-
fifteenth of the stock.
Mi. Hoo\er declared positively thai Taylor's
claim that ho lost $70,000 , or any other yum
In the Gettysburg bank , Is moonshine , that
on the contrary , ho made a considerable sum ,
the assets on which ho realized being i ° old
t r moro than twice the sum hs Invested In
paying off the liabilities ,
