DES MOINES. Feb. 27.-(Seclal.)-The
work of the general assembly of Iowa has
thus far been rapid and the amount of busi
ness done greater than Is usual. Despite
the adjournment on account of tho capltol
fire the assembly is further along with Its
work than It was at a corresponding dute
two years ago.
"An exnmlnntlon of the record," says
Lieutenant Governor Herrlott, "shows that
on the 26th there had been passed and com
pleted nnd signed twenty-seven bills and
resolutions. On the same date two years
ago 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.

trouble. The Dunham bill to provide for
classification of the state documents and

error In the code revision as to penalty on
bonds.
A resolution In memory of the late Sen

The state good roads bill, providing for

The house passed tho Wright bill to pro
vide for suits against common carriers on
claims for damages in shipment so that all
the companies over which the shipment

Finding; Cause of Accident.
The coroner's Jury went at Investigation
of the state house accident today and ex
amined witnesses who saw the accident.
The moat 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 saw, that
the elevator started before Mrs. Hoch had
got Into the car and she was killed as It
caught her going up, and ner aaugnier,
pnimicin was killed as she seized her
mother while the car was coming down. I
. . 1 . . .
Then the elevator man neivoui .uru ...
stop the elevator, but coijd not bring It
to a standstill for some time. The evidence
of others on the elevator was taken and
of those who saw the accident from the
outside. The fact was brought out In the
testimony that the elevator man was one
of those employed by the legislature and
had had no experience at all; that there
had been trouble with the elevator he was
running, and he was 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 house 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 south 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 s'ems cer
tain the Jury will determine that the fault
lay rather with the operator than with the
mechanical construction of the elevator.
It la anticipated that a bill will be intro
duced to rv the families of the women

There has been thus far In the resent
legislature a notable absence of agitation
In relation to equal suffrage. Before the
session was opened It was announced that
tho customary amendment to the constitu
tion to strike out the word "male" would
be Introduced, and the State Equal Suf
frage association selected a lobbyist to pret
the matter considered. Hut no member has
yet been secured to present the 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 regurd of
benefit, especlnlly the child labor bill end

May Iteoiien Home for Dlluil.
A bill has been Introduced to provide for
the reopening of the State Industrial Home
for the Blind at Knoxvllle. This has been
fought by the blind people of the state,
who have felt that a mistake was made In
closing the place nnd 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 line. But the
bill comes In to Interfere alth the plan to
have ths buildings converted Into an asylum
for the inebriates of the stat nnd will be
resisted by thoso who sre more concerned
about the Inebriates.
f'loslnw Political Rallies.
The eloping political rallies of the con
gressional campaign wtre held this even
ing. The friends of Judge I'rmity had the
largest meeting, the sumo being held In the
Auditorium, where the Hull people held
their rally last night. Aside from this one
large meeting there were m.iny smaller
ones In different parts of the city. The
meetings have all been well attended and
representative citizens have taken part on
both sides. Today the Hull men placarded
the city with sample ballots showing how
to vote for Hull. The Hull men claim they
have been deprived of uny representation
on the Imard of Judges, and the county
committee ,hns refused thus far to make
known the Judges selected, on the claim
that they would 1" subject to undue In
fluence. The county committee, however,
claims that the Juilses have been selected
from the friends of both candidates and
there Is the usual division between them.
Sensational accusations of bribery and cor
ruption and the undue use of money are
being made and there Is a very bitter feel
ing. The election will be held Monday.

An appraisement hni been made of the
estate left by K. II. McCutcheon of Hol
steln. a wealthy private banker, who died
of typhoid fever a short time ago. The
appraisement shows that the estate and
the banking business were far from being
in good condition. The liabilities aggregate
I'jtfVoro. including $!im.rfin unsecured deposits
of the Modern Woodmen of America and
seme H.CO of secured notes. The property
Is appriilaed at fUS.OO. but this d.ea not In-
dud all of the real property, a part of
which Is encumbered, and mining tinea
the value of which Is not known. The re
port shows that the hanking business,
which was supposed to have been in first
