(From a Staff Correspondent.)
DES MOINES, Feb. 27. (Special.) The
work of the general assembly of Iowa has
thus far been rapid and tho amount of busi
ness done greater than Is usual. Despite
the adjournment on account of tho capltol
fire tho assembly Is further along with Its
work than it was at a corresponding date
two years ago.
"An examination of the record," soys
Lieutenant Governor Herrlott, "shows that
on the 2Bth there had been passed and com
pleted and signed twenty-seven bills and
resolutions. On the same date two years
ng-o there were only nineteen bills nnd res
olutions completed and signed. And as for
the bills slaughtered, I think the record Is
three times as great as at the correspond
ing date two years ago."
The house will meet again on Monday
afternoon, but owing to next week being
the first In March and members having
much to do at home, the senate took a
recess until Wednesday afternoon.

Finding; Cause of Aocldent.
The coroner's Jury went at Investigation
of the state house accident today and ex
amined witnesses who saw the accident.
The most important testimony was that
of President Funk of the State Capitol
Commission, who was In the elevator car
at the time. He related what he law, that
the elevator started before Mrs. lloch had
got Into the car and she was killed as It
raucht her going up. and ner aaugnier.
Mr Fountain, was killed as she seiied her I
mother while tne car was coming un.
Then the elevator man nervously tried to
stop the elevstor. but co.gd not bring It
to a standstill for some time. Tne eviuence
of others on the elevator was taken and
of those wno saw wie ucciuboi num mo
outside. The fact was brought out In the
testimony that the elevator man waa one
of those employed by the legislature and
had had no experience at all; that there
had been trouble with the elevator he waa
running, and he waa only Friday morning
transferred to the south elevator so that
an experienced operator could be put on
the north elevator to determine if there
was something wrong with the elevator or
with the man who ran it. The regular ele
vator man employed at the state hojio had
never had any trouble with the elevator In
which the accident occurred. A party con
sisting of the governor and state officers
tested the aouth elevator, where the acci
dent occurred, Friday evening after the
accident and before anyone had touched It
and they found It to work perfectly In the
hands of an expert operator. It sems cer
tain the Jury will determine that the fault
lay rather with t lu e operator than with the
mechanical construction of the elevator.
It Is anticipated that a bill will be intro
duced to pay the families of the women
for the lois, recognizing tre rrspom It llity
of the rtate for the accident.

o Equal Knffrasre Axltn Hon.
There has been thus far In the r resent
legislature a notable absence of agitation
In relation to equal suffrage. Before the
session was opened It was announred that
tho customary amendment to the constitu
tion to strike out the word "male" would
be Introduced, nnd the Stnte Kgual Suf
frage association selected a lobbyist to get
tho matter considered. Hut no member haa
yet been secured to present tho resolution,
and It Is reported that efforts to get the
amendment before the people will be aban
doned for this session. At the same time
there Is a large lobby of women Interested
In practical measures which they regiird of
benefit, especially the child labor bill and
humane legislation.
May Heopen Home for Dllnil,
A bill has been Introduced to provide for
the reopening of the State Industrial Home
for the blind at Knoxville. This has been
fought by the blind people of the state,
who have felt that a mistake was made In
closing the place and abandoning the build
ings. The present bill would open the home
for blind men only and give them work so
that they might become self-supporting,
and no appropriation Is deemed necessary
to keep It In this condition of use. But the
hill comes in to Interfere wlih the plan to
have the buildings converted Into an asylum
for the Inebrlntea of the stato nnd will be
resisted by those who are more concerned
about the Inebriates.
I'IosIiik Political flallles.
The closing political rallies of the con
grebslonal campaign wire held this even
ing. The friends of JiMge I'rmity bad the
largest meeting, the sunn being held In the
Auditorium, where the Hull people held
their rally last night. Aside from this one
large meeting there were many smaller
ones In different parts of the rlty. The
meetings have all been well attended and
representative citizens have taken part on
both sides. Today the Hull men placarded
tho city with sample ballots showing how
to vote for Hull. The Hull men claim they
bare leen deprived of any represents! ton
on the board of Jmlgfs. and the county
committee ,has refused thus far to make
known the Judges selected, on the claim
that they would le subject to undue In
fluence. The county committee, however,
claims that the Judges have been selected
from the friends of both candidates snd
there is the usual division between them.
Hens.it lonal accusations of bribery and cor
ruption and the undue use of money sre
being made snd there Is a very bitter feel
ing. The election will be held Monday.

An appraisement has been made of the
estate left by K. II. Mcf'utcheon of Hol
stein, a wealthy private banker, who died
of typhoid fever a short time ago. The
appraisement shows that the estate snd
the banking business were far from being
In g".od condition. The liabilities aggregate
I'jtn.iifo, Including $MO.rnn unsecured deposits
of the Modern Woodmen of America and
some Ita.Ofo of secured notes. The property
Is sppnilseil at tv:i.t. but this does not In
c lud all of the real property, a part of
which N encumbered, and mining stock
the value of which is not known. The re
port shows that the banking business,
which was supposed to have been In first
class condition, waa In fact badly Involved.
