DCS MOINES , March 11. ( Special Tele
gram. ) Oil was poured on Ibe troubled
waters In the senate this morning and the
ndlcatlons are brighter than ever for < l.e
mmedlato and substantial progress on the
> oardof control bill. After a week of debate
hu ways and means committee was again
sustained today by the defeat of the Lewis
amendment. The vote had hardly been an
nounced when Chairman Funk of the ways
and means committee took the floor and an
nounced that ho wished to present a sub
stitute. Ho explained that the pro\llon for
a statutory confirmation committee had
called forth > ery harsh criticism. It had
> een alleged there was political Intrigue con
nected with 't. ' For the committee he wished
to say that It should not be taken as Indi
cting luck of confidence In the gtncrnor ,
> ut merely In keeping with the conservathe
spirit of the bill. Howo\er , despite the fact
that the committee had been sustained sev
eral times by handsome majorities , and was
unalterably of the opinion the pro\lslon
vns wliv , It had , In the Interests of har
mony , decided to offer an amendment. The
amendment ( lorn away with the statutory
committee and provides for the appointment
of a committee of five without motion. The
amendment Is entirely aceptable to the op-
> osltlon and Its presentation has already lu
ll touted the legislative machinery not a
title.
The senate met In the afternoon nnd made
good progtccs. The bitterness of last week
iis entirely disappeared , the olive blanch
las been extended and there Is reason to be-
Icie the bill will bo ready for the house
by the middle or latter part of nett week.
The house republicans caucused this aft
ernoon relative to action on the manufac-
urlng bill now before the lower chamber.
The matter was discussed quietly at
considerable length , but no action
was taken. The general sentiment
of the caucus was the party should
not attempt to bind members on the
measure. It Is believed there Is no demander
or additional legislation along this line and
hat It would be exceptionally bad politics
o become InvoheJ In the matter.
10 WV LUfUSIvYTimU MIOIJM ) ACT.
\o Hcnxon for I'urllior Drlny of Ex-
lion ! t Ion Appropriation.
Ucs Molnes Leader.
Before the close of the present week the
towa legislature should determine what
amount , If any , Is to bo expended for the
proper representation of Iowa at the great
expoJltlon whoso gates are to swing open at
Omaha on Juno 1. Further delay Is not
only needless , but fatal. But a little more
than two mcntha romdln during which tc
erect a building and carry on the work o (
gathering the exhibits , and every day ol
postponement means cither additional ex
pense or a less rejunii for the money ex
pended. The Tmnsmlsslsslppl Exposition lane
no longer In an experimental stage. It Is
an assuted success The beautiful buildIngs -
Ings , which rival In their sumptuousncss
those at Jackson park It ) 1S93 , are approachIng -
Ing completion. It Is now certain that the
exposition will bo the largest ever held In
the western hemisphere with the exception
of-the Columbian on : . iFUo more states arc
to be represented than at the centennial ex
position at Philadelphia In 1S7G , and many
more than that at the New Orleans , Atlanta
or Nashville expositions. Every state west
of the Mississippi , with the exception ol
Iowa , Is already actively gathering Its ex
hibit , and In several to the cast plans are
at an advanced stage of completion. The
following table shows the amounts to be
expended by various states and constitute
a showing that should certainly remove any
lingering remnant of doubt In the minds ol
the legislature as to whatIowa should do :
Nebraska $100.000 ! Idaho 20,001
Colorado 60,000 Wyoming 24 Om
Minnesota 60.000 Utah 20. < XX
Missouri DO.OOO Oregon 20,001
Illinois 47,000 Washington . . . 20.001
Kansas SO.OOO Montana SO.OOi
California 30,000 Wisconsin 30OQi
In many of these states representation 1 ;
not by elate appropriation , but funds ralscc
by commercial bodies , counties , cities am
private subscription. The amounts given
however , represent the amounts that will b (
spent In the name of the state for state
representation.
In Iowa It te too late , even If It wen
thought desirable , to ralce any conslderabli
sum of money by private subscription , am
It Is universally recognized that If the leg Is
lature does not act the state will bo un
represented or have only such represcntatloi
aa can bo made by private exhibitors am
with the $10,000 preliminary appropriation
Iowa of all elates , doubtless even more thai
Nebraska , will benefit by the exposition
The visitors to the exposition from the eas
will bo obliged to journey across the entln
stale and will see such an exhibit as m
other state at the exposition can present
It will hardly do to have this first agreeabli
Impression shattered by discovering tha
Iowa Is either so mean In spirit or too pee
In purse as not to bo present at the expo
sltlon In the garb presented by other states
Thousands of visitors from Iowa will vial
the exposition during the summer , In th <
aggregate up In the hundreds of thourande
and 4o there visitors It will bo a source o
more than regret to eee a few mildewed op
plea and frayed stalks of corn as the enl ;
exhibition of Iowa's magnificent resources
Whatever may bo thought now , It la cerlali
that next summer failure to make an adequate
quato appropriation will be the most un
popular act of the present legislature.

Io a 1'rpNi Comment.
Council Bluffs Nonpareil : Iowa's poirl
bullon faclorles answer Iho old tjuesllon of
"bullon , bulton. "
Clinton Age : The defcal by a unanimous
vote In the house of the 2-ccnt passenger bill
means much for low a.
Dee iMolnca Capital : Thirty thousand dollars
lars would be about the right sum for the
state to give to the Omaha exposition.
Keokuk Goto Clly : The two diseases most
prevalent In Keokuk Just now are the war
fever and the grip. Some of our citizens arc
having bolh al the game lime.
Iowa Clly Republican : One of Iho queer
Ihlngs In Iowa polities Is Ihe brag of Iho
Muscatlno Bryonlstlc city council that It lies
succeeded In refunding the city debt with
gold bonds.
Burlington Hawkeye : The bitterness
which some of the supporters of the board
of control bill are developing may well cutiso
conservative citizens to hesitate In their
support of the measure. If It has as many
Infirmlllej as Us advocates It had better be
dumped on the scrap heap.
Res Molnes Register : Iowa has received
another foreign appolnlmenl , lhat of secrc-
lary of Ihc legallon nl Sanllago , Chill. H.
J. Lenderlnk of Orange City Is Iho fortunate
recipient. Ttut gives Iowa Ivvo secretaries )
of legations In South America , T. C. Uuwaon
being stationed at Rio Janeiro.
Sioux City Tribune : Sioux City has not
thought of selling or otherwise disposing of
Its water works. It Just iwants them well
managed. It has good works , good water ,
low rates , and a more extended and satis
factory service lhan It could get from any
private ownership. It simply wants Ihe best
management possible for H lo have.
DCS Molncs News : Senalor Healy's greal
speech In support of his bill for a board of
control will be remembered as one of the
greatest forensic efforts In the annals of
Iowa. Speaking tram a full mind as well
r.s a full heart he threw off ttio Icslauatlona
an 1 questionings of his critics as the VelloNV-
stone gejser throws off the mud you may
launch against It. Healy's speech ensured
the pafjsage of tlio bill.
Montezuma Republican : When Fred White
was In congress ho made \lgoroiw light on
the United Stales ja\y. He oppored appro-
pclallng any maiey for the conslructlon cf
war fchlps and mndo a speech against Ihc
whole business. 7hls effort was published
as a campaign doumenl and was largely clr-
culaled In every Quaker eelllcment In the
district. Mr. Lacey took Irene with him that
fall and tbovved the need of a better naval
equipment. Present condlllona prove Ihc
wlajom of Mr. Lacey's poslllon.
DCS Molncs Register : Sonic of Iho news
papers arc always complaining because the
laws of Iowa do not properly protect editors
and publishers from libel suits , yet It Is
probable that more editors begin Jlbel suite
In the stale. In proportion lo number , than
any other class of citizens ! As long as that
condition obtains It will be useless for the
newspaper men of the state to ask the legis
lature to enact "a properly guarded libel
law. "
Waterloo Reporter : The amount of de
posits In the two national banks of Osage
Is $434,136.45 , nearly half a million dollars.
That Is a good showing for a town of 2,500
Inhabitants , but It Is a good town , with
a thrifty class of dtlzens and surrounded
by a good farming community. In 1896 then
were only seventeen populist votes In the
county In a total poll of about 3,600 , and
taking the two statements togclher It shows
sound conditions both financially and
politically.

Des Molnes Capital : Friends of the bll
to approprlale money for on exhibit of lowt
producls at the Omaha exposition were elate <
today over their success In securing fron :
the committee on appropriations a recom
mendation for $30,000. They expressed nt
( cars as lo the bill giving that amount pasa
Ing tuo house , but were not so sure as to ll <
success In the senate. However , Ihey dk
not believe that the amount would bo re
duced more than $5,000 End expressed th <
hope tual it would not be cut a single cent
Des Molnes Leader : The house cornmltle <
on f pproprlatlons haa recommended a $30,001
appropriation for the representation of low.
at the Transmlsslaslppl fair. A sum largo :
than this would have been better and woul <
bo money well spent , but doubtless the com
mlttce , In view of the present o.ndltlon o
the state's finances , thought It could go m
farlher. According to report , the commltlei
was not particularly friendly to an approprla
tlon , but as they grew more familiar will
Ihe subject Its members siw that < he stati
could not afford to ctay away that to sla ;
nvvay would be the most expensive kind of
an approprla lira lhat could bo made. On
the final ballot In the committee the vole
hi favor of the appropriation stood H to 4.
Dubuqtie Telegraph : Yielding to the gen
eral desire that Ion a products and resources
shnll bo fully represented and advertised at
the Transn'IssUclppI ' Exposition lo be held In
OcuAba Ihe coming summer , the house com
mittee ha < s recommended an appropriation
of $ RO,000 for Ifio purpose. Of the appropria
tion of $13,000 made by the last legislature
bul $3,000 has been expended and Ihcreforc
If Iho proposed appropriation Is made the
total sum available will bo $37,000. With
the exception of that held In Chicago lo
commemccatlon of the discovery of the con-
llncnl , the Omaha exposition will be Iho
grcatesl over witnessed west of the lakes.

of thousands , aaid as the o wilt require not

of their commonwealth and Ihc gratification
of tlclr pride they will wlfh lo see Iho Iowa
display surpass any and all others , II Is right
thai In making the approprlatbn Itie legis
lature should bo generous. If more Is re
quired the people will not begrudge , but

A learned judge was taken suddenly ilex
In church , December B , 1897 , In the city of M

the judge had kidney dl co o and had lived
a surprisingly long time , everything con

A man or woman may Hvo along for ycara
with Incompetent kidneys only to collapifl
