la from Cresco, Hardin county, In Judge
Klnne's district. Judge Klnne is one of
the members of the State Board of Control,

here as somewhat significant that the bill
to relocate the school was not introduced
until after the reappointment of John

the State Board of Control expires next
month, but now by his reappointment he

Meets at Atlantic on Mar H to domi
nate n Congressman.
The republican convention of the Ninth
congressional district will be held at At
lantic, Cass county, on Wednesday. May 11,
In t end of In Council Bluffs, us hud been
expected. This was decided uion at the
meeting of the congressional committee yes
terday morning In this city. The conven
tion to select two delegates and two alter
nates from the Ninth congressional district
to the natlon.'tl convention In Chicago will
be held In Ues Moines on the morning of
May IS, prior to the state convention.
The meeting of the Ninth congressional
district committee was held at (he Grand
hotel, with Chairman L. 8. Robinson of
("lien wood presiding and E. Ixirkwood of
Harlan acting as secretary. Audubon and
Harrison counties were not represented,
those in attendance being:. Adair, W. II.
McClure, Fontanelle; Caa, Dr. C. I
Campbell, Atlantic; Guthrie. H. L. Mar
shall, Guthrie Center (In place of G. W.
Cook); Mills, I j. 8. Robinson, Glen wood;
Montgomery, W. 8. Kills, Red Oak; Potta
wattamie, H. J. Chambers, Council Bluffs;
Shelby, K. l.ockwood, Harlan.
James 8. Dcwell of Missouri Valley, a
well known member of the Harrison county
bar, was selected as temporary chairman
of the convention at Atlantic. The conven
tion nt Atlnntlc Is solely for the purposo
of placing In nomination a candidate for
congress, which menus the renominatlon of
Congressman Walter I. Smith of this city
by acclamation.
The representation of the nine counties
In the convention will bo as follows: Audu
bon, 9; Cass, 14; Guthrie, 13; Harrison, 14;
Montgomery, 10; Pottawattamie, 27; Shelby,
11; Adair, 11, making a total of 120 delegates.
The convention at Dcs Moines to select
two district delegates and alternates to the
national convention will, according to the
call Issued yesterday, bo held at 9 o'clock
on the morning of May 18, the day of the
republican state convention. I'nder the
new rules it will be a regular convention
and not a mere caucjs of the district,
whose selection had to be ratified by the
state convention, as heretofore.
According to the call for the republican
convention of Pottawattamie county, but
one set of delegates Is to be selected, who
will attend the congressional. Judicial and
state conventions, as It was generally sup
posed that both the congressional and
Judicial conventions would be held in this
city and on the same day. The calling of
the congressional convention at Atlantic
thus disarranges this plan and will impoae
two Journeys on Uie delegates.
H. H. Roadlfer of Logan, chairman of
the Fifteenth Judicial district republican
committee, was In the city yesterday and
following a conference with Secretary f).
K. Stuart announced that the Judicial conr
vention would certainly be called to meet
In jCouncll Bluffs, the date to be decided
on later. Chairman Roadlfer said that he
had consulted with the different members
of the committee and they were all in
favor of holding the convention in Council
Bluffs. There Is but little difference In trie
makeup of the Ninth emigres Honal and Fif
teenth Judicial districts. The counties of
Adair and Guthrie, belonging to the con
gressional district, are replaced by the
counties of Fremont and Page in the Judi
cial district.

(From a Staff Correspondent.!
DES MOINES, March g.-(Special.)-The
expected movement for removal of the
school for the deaf from Council Bluffs to
some place nearer the center of the state
came today In both ends of the legislature
by the Introduction of two bills looking to
that end. The bill was prepared by Mr.
Wright of Fort Dodge and Introduced In
the hou.e, and a duplicate put In the sen
ate by Mr. Lyons of Cresco. The bill pro
vides that the school shall bo removed
and that It shall be located at Des Moines
or at some point within 100 miles of Des
Moines, the location to be determined by
the Board of Control, and there Is an ap
propriation of $250,000 for the buildings and
other necessaries in connection with the
removal. The matter had been delayed
for some time and It was felt for a time
that no serious attempt would be made
to effect removal, but the bills of today
indicate that a hard fight is to be made.
The fact that the bill carries such a large
appropriation will prove a handicap to
tlio removal, however, and tho friends of
the present site are contldent that no
change will be made.
There was introduced In the house, today
tin Important bill for a uniform policy of
fire insurance in Iowa, which specifies cer
tain things that must be contained In every
valid policy to make It conform to tho
Iowa law. It was by Mr. Langan of Clin
ton. 1
evr Fair Grounds nalldlnsj.
The appropriation of $17,000 with which
to build a new central agricultural build
ing on the state fair grounds, to be for
the agricultural, horticultural and dairy
departments, and to take the place of
three other buildings which will thereby
be turned over to other uses, received
unanimous Indorsement In the house today.
Tho house passed the bill to appropriate
$10,500 for the building of a monument at
Andersonville. Ga., to the memory of the
Iowa soldiers who died while prisoners
there.
The bouse passed a bill to add w'ld tur
keys, ducks and geese to the list of game
fowls, so that not more than twenty-five
should be found in the possession of one
person.
The factory inspection law was brought
up again on a motion to reconsider the
vote by which It was lost and It was re
ferred to the labor committee.
The committee on roads reported In favor
of Indefinite postponement of the bill to
repeal the present road law, but a strong
minority put In a report recommending
passage of the Chassel bill.
enate Proceedings.
Senator Newberry brought his measure,
which provides for the examination of
county treasurers by a state board and
which was killed In the senate last week,
before that body again today In a bill,
which provides that county boards of sup
ervisors shall appoint boards of examiners
for county officers and shall, arrange for
a uniform systm of bookkeeping for
county auditors and county treasurers.
The committee on agriculture reported
favorably the ar.tl-horse docking bill, with
some amendments from Its original form.
As reported the bill prevents the docking
of horses within the borders of the state,
but does not prevent the Importation of
animals already docked.
A warm debate occurred In the spnate on
he Judiciary committee bill, which has for
.is purpose the stopping of the practice
which it is claimed is Indulged In, in many
localities u.ider the present law of prose
cuting saloon keepers and others for viola
tion of the mulct law, not In good faith,
but as a black-mailing scheme. Senator
Molsberry sought to amend the bill by
striking from the code the $25 fee now
provided for attorneys successful In such
proceedings. His amendment failed and
the bill was passed.
Seeking; Xew Candidate for Congress.
After repeated conferences held here
with politicians over the district. Judge E.
E. Nichols of Perry, has practically de
clined to make the race for member of
congress against Hull, and the republicans
of the outside counties are trying to reach
an agreement to have Judge J. H. Hender
son of Indlanola, consent to make the
race. They believe that. In view of the
trickery Indulged in by both sides in Polk
county and the general resentment that
Is felt against the county by reason of this.
they can combine and select the candi
dates.
Miners Hold Joint Meeting;.
The Joint convention of the miners of
District No. 13 and the operators of the
same district convened today and C. H.
Morris of Des Moines, an operator, was
elected president, with Secretary Perry of
the miners acting as secretary. There Is
a large attendance of the Operators as
well as delegates from the mine unions,
and this afternoon the convention went
into session for the consideration of the
mine scale in the district. The miners
are standing firm for the last year's Brain,
hlle the operators are determined there

Stat Deposits la Des Moines.
The house committee on ways and means
today took up consideration of the Lewis
bill to require the payment of Interest on
state funds deposited In the banks at a
rate to be fixed by the executive council.
in aupport of the bill Senator Lewis had
prepared a table showing the following as
