It was drawn by ta odd looking team consisting of an immense dray horse and a small broncho. Back of the wagon, from which was hanging a bale of hay, trailed a sorry, wornout look ing horse and a oow.

DES MOINES, July 21. (Special.) A meeting of the Shl'.oh Monument commis sion was held In this city today with prac tically all the members present, the spe cial purpose of the meeting being to con sider what shall be done with reference to certain inscriptions to be placed on the monuments at Shlloh. On the monuments relating to the record of the Fifteenth and Bixteenth Iowa regiment It was planned by the commlnslon to make a statement which should Include a claim that from 10 o'clock until IS o'clock on the first day of the battle at Shlloh these two regiments of raw recruits from Iowa maintained their positions In the heart of the battlefield. This was In accordance with the official reports of the commanding officers of the regiments at the time which were approved Subsequently by the commanding generals. There has long been some controversy over the fecta. however, and the War depart ment refuses to permit this claim to be made on the monuments, as the historians of the department make the claim that It would have been a physical Impossibility for the regiments to have arrived at the designated point before noon. The mem bers of the regiments who are surviving are naturally indignant at the situation and desire that soma action be taken that will secure to them proper representation on the monuments. The commission has been thus far unable to secure permission from the War department for the placing of the inscriptions on the monuments. A committee will continue further the nego tiations. A number of members of the regi ments were here today to appear and dis cuss the matter, and the governor has taken it up and will do all that he can to assist In having the controversy disposed of. It is the only controversy that has arisen as yet over any Inscription on any of the many monuments Iowa is erecting to the memory of those who fell on southern battle grounds.

Greenwell when ar rested was acting as superintendent of cou etiuctlon of some publlo work In Daven port. He waa a conductor on a railroad in Mexico, and it was alleged that he and 3. H. Stanfleld, an engineer, went Into the country near Tamplco, Mexico, In April, 1902, and that Stanfleld"! dead body waa afterward found. The extradition was re sisted on the ground there was no evidence against Greenwell, and the commissioner this morning sustained this view of the matter and ' released htm. The case was hard fought and representatives of the engineers and of the conductors were sent to wstch the interests of their respective sides. To Assess Car Lines. The state executive council had before it this morning representatives of the Ar mour Refrigerator lines and other freight and car lines doing business In Iowa and took up the matter of making an assess ment of these lines, something that has never before been attempted In the state. They have made reports, but hardly In accordance with the desires of the coun cil, and the matter of assessing them on a fair basts will be difficult But they have before this evaded taxation entirely and the last legislature made a law which la at least a start in the direction of as sessing them. They will pay. taxes direct to the state and not pay local taxes. War on Drpartmont Stores.

The day was npt, however, without some news of a favorable character.
