"Present indicatlona are that It Is any- body's ' fight , " said a promInent republican I yesterday In talking of the congressional convention which wtll be held here Thurs- ( lay , and this seems to be the prevailing opinion. While it is true that ax-Speaker Dyers vIll come before the convention with forty-eIght instructed votes for him , ho yet lacks nine to secure the nomination and there are those who profess to know who say that he wilt have considerable dliii- culty in getting these nine votes. Mr. flyers' friends on the other hmami feel confident that when the first break comes In the hal- loting helr candidate will secure sutilcient votes to secure him the nomination without. fall. how soon , however , they xpect this break to come they are not prepared to say. say.There was some talk on the streets yesterday - terday that the Cass county delegation , which is instructed for Major Curtis , would probably swing to flyers and thus give him the nomination , but this Is denied , and rumors are to the effect that there will likely be a combination of forces to beat flyers and either nominate linger or McPherson - Pherson , which It does not matter much , so long as flyers Is not nominated. Smith McPherson on the first ballot wIll only have the twelve votes of Montgomery , his home county , but old time politicians who have witnessed and taken part In many a congressioaal convention , say that his chance for the nomination is just as good as if he bad more votes at his hack at the start. McPherson , it is said , will have mans' friends in the convention and his nomination Is not unlooked for by his sup- porters. Mr. McPherson Is in the city In conference with his supporters and will probably remain here until after the con- vention. The other canlidates are expected to arrive hero today when some lively work may be looked for. Friends of Mr. Hager are not at all despondent - spondent and they say the outlook for his nomination is considerably brighter titan it may apear on the outside. They hook torward to a long drawn fight at the coil- vention , but hope to land their candidate a winner in the long run , as they believe when the break comes they will be able to draw from flyers' strength. The situation iB admitted by all to be a pretty comphi- catel OttO and no one ventures to prophesy the outcome ot the convention , The dale- gates to the convention from this county are : At. large , C. F. Kimball , E , A. Consignoy , H. M. Brown , J. 13. Sweet : First district , J. L. Blanchard , T. It. Bardsley , A. L. Preston ; Second district , C. 1' . Swarm , It. B.

DES MOINES , August 1L-Spociah ( Telo- gram.-For ) the first time In the city's lmth- tory the women of Des Moines wihi vote next week at a eneclal election to gain the opinion of. the poopho relative to time purchase - chase by the city of time water works for S130O00. An officIal opinion to that effect was given out today by Assistant City So- hictiom' Bannister. Bannister conferred with a number of promninent attorneys. They all agreed that time state law gave the women the right. to vote on thus proposi. tion , Bannister points out that wimile this proposition does not directly Increase the tax levy in the city , it provides for the use of the 2-mnill levy for a number of years and hence there is In fact a debt contracted. A. 13. Cummins , attorney for tim water works company , says Bannister's view is correct ; that the women of Des Moines have the right to vote for or against. this proposition. Separate ballot boxes must be provided and the women's votes counted independent of thoss f the men. Becatmse of the fact that the state printer hues presented a bill to the state of $1,000 for printing two sntnih check registers of 200 pages each , there Is a big row on hand at the state house. Secretary of State Dobson said this morning that he could not tell what time outcome of the controversy over the bill would be , but be was certain of one thing , that he would never allow the $1,000. Said ho : "I will allow time state printer onhy time regular coinniercial price which such books bring anti 'that , I think. would not. anmount to more than $30 each. I told the state printer to come anl 500 me today about the matter , If lie chose , Ho has not been hero m'et. but I ant as fixed as ever in my determination to refuse to pay his exorhi- taat bill. " The State Library association has do- cided to hold no meeting In flesMolnes or Iowa thus fall. It has been decided to Unite with the library congress , which will bo held at Omaha , September 29 , 30 and October 1. The. regular date for the state meeting was October 13 and 14. In the past the state meeting has always been held in Des Moines and this year is thmo eighth meeting. The Omaha national meeting has beemm thought of more importance than time state meeting and most of the Iowa hibra- rians will attend. VOflICINoJS OI' A NEV IOWA LAW.

( ) Oilman and Powell of the Insane hospital at Mount Pleasant. and the home for feeble minded at Glenwood have been at the office of the State Board of Control the past week conferring with relation to matters at. their institutions. Some of the changes made in the conduct of state institutions by the board have required fUrther explanation or conference from time , o time , and when it hmas not been convenient for a member of the board to go to the institution and arrange - range details the smmperintendent. has in a number of cases come to Des Moines , where everything could be talked over and a thorough understanding arrived at in a short space of time. Contrary to reports , thiero has been practically no friction between the superintendents of institutions or other of. ficers of them anti the state board , either because of reductions of salaries or on account - count of changes in metimods. On the contrary - trary , many letters have been received at the board's office here eongratulatIng'ith niem- bers on the goo4 jufigniemit exercised in time changes made ant ] on the satisfactory work possible to do under the new system , the willie feeling that no one institution was being better taken care of than another , anti that the inmates were receiving the best of everything it was possible to obtain for them.
