state officer, judicial officer or delegate to
any political convention, and is drastic In
Its penalties against those who offer and
those who receive the favors.
Another Important bill In the senate waa
one In relation to the teaching of agricul
ture ' In the public schoola of the state,
providing a special course In agriculture,
teaching the rudiments thereof. The bill
Is desired by farmer members of the legis
lature who claim that the beneficial work
done in higher education with relation to
such matter at the State college Is recog
nised by all and that the same work should
be extended to all the schools of the state.
A bill by Senator Newberry, providing
for -three public examiners In the state

method of securing a uniform system of
keeping accounts In the county treasuries
of the state.
The house held a very short session,
After a number of road law petitions were
presented and committee reports read the
bill to legalize the Issuance of bonds by
the West Des Molars school district was
taken up and passed as It came from the

State Committee to Meet.
The republican state committee Is called
to meet In Des Moines February 17 next for
the purpose of fixing the time and place
for holding the republican state convention.
It la expected that the convention will be
located In Des Moines, though an effort
may be made to place it elsewhere, and the
date will be about the time of the close of
the legislature. The convention will select
the delegates to the national convention.
The effort to secure an agreement In ad-
vtnee as to who shall constitute the Iowa
delegation at large to the national conven-
tlon has been practically abandoned and
the for pes are already well lined up for a
sharp . contest. Both sides, however, are
becoming pledged to the plan to send the
two senators to the convention by accla
mation, provided they are willing to accept
the places, though they have both refused
to be drawn into a contest.
Plana for a Reformatory,
, The plans of the Women's Christian Tem
perance union of Iowa for re-establlshment
of a reformatory for women are maturing
and It la now the Intention to have intro
duced thla week a bill locating the reform
atory within a radius of fifty miles of Des
Moines. . It Is now at the Anamosa peni
tentiary and will not be made use of by the
courts so long as it is there. It was ex
pected that the present legislature would
locate It at Knoxvllle, but the plan ia to
have the inebriate asylum go there and the
reformatory go to Des Moines. An option
haa been secured on a private sanitarium
located adjoining the state fair grounds for
this purpose and the legislature Is to be
urged to make use of this building and the
grounds

PerUloa oa Maaor.
The supreme court of Iowa today called
sharply to the attention of the people the
fact that the general rule that oral slander
to be actionable of Itself must impute some
I crime to the person defamed, has at least
one Important exception, and that is where
there Is Imputed to the person slandered
the having of a loathsome disease. Tills
exception has been noted from early times
In the development of the law of slander
and libel. "A charge of crime." says the
court, "In the ordinary sense of the word,
Is a mild' and harmless imputation when
compared with words which brand a man
or woman as a leprous outcast, and It is a
healthful doctrine which holds to strict
accountability any one who Indulges In
such Injurious reflections upon another.
The decision came in the case of Edward
McDonald against Mary A. Nugent, from
Dubuque. The plaintiff had sued his
mother-in-law for slander and the verdict
had been for defendant. The court re
verses the case because the rule In regard
to slanderous words was not correctly
I "tateo.
The following were the decisions of tbe
court rendered:
H. F. Laubach against Cedar Raplfls
Sunply company, appellant: Linn county.

RearUf on atate Interest.
The committee on ways and means of the
senate held a session thla afternoon snd
heard the statements ef the representatives
es Dm Mran ba&as la relation te the pre.
posed scheme of compelling bsnks to pay
Interest on the state money held In their
hands for the state treasurer. The bill
proposes to compel banks to pay some inter
est and the money Is to be offered to the
banks that will make the best offers. The
Des Moines banks have about $1,000,000 of
state money at all time on hand, as a
regular balance, the balances the last year
running up to an average of nearly $1,125,000.
and they pay no Interest thereon. They
protested on the ground thst they are now
virtually compelled to furnish the bonds
for the state treasurer and be responsible
for the safe keeping of the money of the
state Instead of that responsibility resting
on the state. ,
Complicates Iteaenry Fight.
An effort lias been made to bring the
fight in the Ninth district of Iowa for
regent of the State university to a head
this week, but today the caucus of repub
lican members of the legislature from that
district, which was to have been held this
week, was postponed another week. It was
also announced that Mr. Fllcklnger of
Council llluffa haa withdrawn from the
race and that Dr. Rrooks of Audubon is
now a candidate, thus keeping up the com
plications. It Is expected that the fight In
the end will be between Treynor and
Brooks, both doctors.

DAVENPORT, la., Feb. 8. (Special.)
With armed guards in control of the prop
erty of tho Central Newspaper Union of
this city, representing rival claimants to
Its ownership, tho district court has been
appealed to, to decide whether the plant,
recently bought by the alleged "ready
print" trust, Is not conlr.-tbaml, because of
the criminal nature of the trust, and there
fore still vested In Uj former owners.
S.' F. Smith nnd Robert Kerchevnll of
this city, prominent business men, have
sued the alleged trust for $2'JO,000 damages,
on account of Its forcing the Independent
company here to tho wall by unlawful con
pplrocy. Soon after the Davenporters en
tered the "ready print" field, the trust
opened a branch In Davenport, managed
by one Warwick Saunders. Mr. Saunders
has Joined forces with tho Davenport men

NO SOUND CAN' ENTER HERE
Millionaire BalldrUmself Noise
' proof Dwelling In the Heart
of Hew York.
Not every man whose nerves are on edge
can withdraw Into a "soundproof" of his
own devising and shut out the Jar and Jan
gle of the world. One man at least In this
big noisy city has a refuge of this sort, and
he, needless to say, is a millionaire, who.
with his millions, accumulated a terrlflo
case of "nerves." He is a well known news
paper figure, a captain of Industry and
noted for his philanthropic bequests, but
all his money Is powerless to prevent an
overworked nervous system from trans
mitting '.xcruclatlng tortures at sounds
that an ordinary man hardly hears.
The ordinary man, ' If he did suffer from
nerves, probably would have to squirm and
bear his sufferings, but this millionaire's
wealth assures him some solace. He ha
built for himself In the very heart of town
a retreat where noise Is a vain besieger
and the few sounds that pans the, guards
and barriers are toned down to faint whis
pers. The retreat la a wing of his great man
sion and all that money could secure and
human Ingenuity devise haa been used to
Insure a restful calm. Tbe walls and the
floors are thick enough for a fortress. What
would be partitions In an ordinary house
are solid brick walla here. Each room. In
fact. Is practically a cube of aolld masonry,
and pandemonium could break out In one
room without an echo of It penetrating to
the adjoining room.
The necessary doors and windows are
unique. Each window has three sets of
sashea and glass and the doors look exactly
like the huge steel wings of a modern bank
vault. On each side of the hardwood door
proper, which the thickness of the walla
permits being hung In a deep Jamb, there
is attached to an upholstered frame, eight
Inches in thickness, which fits snugly
around the edge of the door when' closed.
This protection means that In order to
penetrate to one of the rooms h sound
waves must first pass through an eight
Inch cushion, next three Inches of bard
wood and then another eight-Inch cushion.
This cushioned door Is used In every room
whence a disagreeable noise might issue.
The eerie song of the electric elevator Is
thus shut off, the clatter and chatter o(
the chef's domain are circumscribed, and
the grating clang of the engineer shovel
ing coal down in the basement Is confined
te Its subterranean headquarters. Over the
courts and areas are heavy glass awnings
to confine the votoes of servants and trades
people. A slammed door is Impossible, aa
every door In the house Is fitted with an
automatic closer and door check, and if
this should fall there b the additional pre
caution of fait strings nailed to the door
and the edge cf the Jamb.
One of the most difficult noises to over
come proved to be that caused by the hand
ling of the fca rally's trunks. Although the
