Other deputies had left Hege-wts.-h last r.lgt.t, expetttng that r.ennett would Furrender today. It was said that when reinforcements of deputies reached Hepewisch again the Delaware building would be taken by norm. Instead, however, a plan was formed to set R niiett's "castle" on fire and smoke him our. Word was sent to the fire de partment to be near, so the blare might be arton suppressed.

He I s an alumnus, always a friend of the university and a prominent business man of the 1 state. The members of the committee ap plauded his remarks, and It Is now pro- j posed that a bill shall be Introduced and ' pushed through at once to abolish the ! three boards having control of the educa tional institutions and making one board of thrte members to manage all after the manner of the management of the other state Institutions. It Is said the movement will be strongly backed and has already received many pledges. Mny Abolish Rnllrond Commission. Tt Is learned that Senator Young of Le county, who Introduced the bill to abolish the state railroad commission, Is pre pared to urge its adoption with a great deal of force and reason. The legislators have received a number of petitions In re gard to the matter, and it appears that there is an organized movement, pro ceeding from some unldcntlfied source, to have the commission abolished. It Is now stated that the senate committee on railroads will bring the bill out on the floor for passage and this will bring out a lively discussion. Will Repeal Tax Ferret T.avr. Tt Is now expected that the tax ferret law will lie repealed entire, but possibly there will be some substitute method of provid ing for reassessment of property which was Vd from the assessors. Tho sentiment In tho senate In favor of repeal of the ferret law Is strong and a bill to have that effect has been recommended for adoption. I.lfe-Termer Giiri Insane. Warden Hunter of the state penitentiary at Annmosa states that John Hamtll, a life-termer from Polk county, Is In the In sane ward at the penitentiary and Is now hopelessly Insane. Tie was sentenced to hang, but the sentence was changed to life Imprisonment by Governor Drake. Hamill shot and killed a conductor In Des Moines about ten years ago, and after he went to the pententlary his guilt preyed upon his mind and he has broken down completely. The application for the pardon of L. R. Van Tnsell of Chickasaw county, accuse of the murder of his wife by poison, has la-en withdrawn and will not be considered by the legislature. The reason for with drawal Is that his friend, Goorge Falrburn. editor of a paper at New Hampton, Is 111 and unable to present the case. Governor Makes Appointment. George A. Lincoln of Cedar Rapids was today reappointed state fish and game warden by Governor Cummins. His only opponent was 11. E. Martin of Iowa Falls. The governor also reappointed II R.
