stated yesterday, have practically all thetr
accommodation now reserved and private
house and boarding house will have to

a good, big delegation.
"Study to show thyself approved unto
Ood." wag the text of the baccalaureate
address delivered yesterday afternoon by
Dr. O. II. Cessna of the Iowa State Agri
cultural college at Ames, to the graduating
class of the hlrh school. The services were
held In the auditorium ef the high school,
and despite the fact that the temperature
was soarlag close to the century maik in
the shade, there was aa attendance which
filled the large hall.
Dr. Cessna said In substance:
There are two view points from which
we may look at life. The one is the present
moment, looking at it as it may minister
to present pleasures the other is to get
over on me other eid- oi it ana loog at
life as we will when we are through with
it. This latter was Mows' standpoint when
he made his gr-at decision and chose
rather to suffer affliction with the people
of Ood than to enjoy the pleasures oi sin
lor a season.
1 do not mean to roh the buoyant youth
of one lota of Its pleasure by suKKesting
that we live our lives as we will wish we
had lived them when we get through with
them. As young ople tare life with all
Its splendid possibilities, the one thing
which is necessary to Insure success is a
high and noble purpose together with en
ergy and force to carry It through.
The man who has no noble purpose or
Ideal In life Is to I- pitied. He Is simply
drifting as the creature of circumstance.
This does not mean that it i necessary for
you at your graduation from high school
to have the particular vocation In mind.
Indeed, you may not know Just what you
are best fitted for. This Is one of the prob
lems you are yet to solve. The greatest
discovery a young person makes Is the dis
covery of himeelf. There are some pretty
large question marks written over young
people who stand where you do today.
High Purpose eeded.
We may fully meet the exhortation of the
apostle and yet not nave a very detinue
Idea of the particular thing we are to du
In life. There may be a delinite. purpose
as to the kind of life It shall be. The na
ture of the ideal will determine the results.
"Study to show tnyself approved unto
Ood." 8l. Paul puts among the first ele
ments of a well protected and aggressive
life the soul girt about with truth, and
there is no mistake In the order in which
he places them. Without this element of
truth! ulness or a lite viewed from Goli
standpoint, none of the other elements will
be possible.
The men who have done the most toward
the uplifting of the world have been those
who have taken this as their guiding prin
ciple. Young people nre going out into a
world where there will be severe testings,
and they will need a purpose high enough
and strong enough to hold it. They need
a purpose great enough to be worthy of
them, created as they are in the image of
Ood and a little lower than the angels.
They will need a motive and a purpose
that will keep them In tourh with the kind
of work this world neeas. oervice
preparation for the kind of service
woria neens snoum ne me jo-ii.
The man who starts out with the pur
pose slmplv of making money nr winning
a prominent place or gnlnlng pleasure will
likely overlook or despise a lot of things
he ought to do and In which he will find
the richest revelations of divinity and hap
piness. Ambition rnsV be s rruet and re.
lentlesa a master n tne appetite for strong
drink, and itinv as ruthlessly trample on
rich possessions. W e need a motive or
purpose that shall cause us to do a lot of
things which the world and unsanctlfied
ambition despise.
You will need a motive which will hold
you to vour life work even In the midst
of disheartening and unappreciated service
No one ever gets under this world or shars
In the responsibility of lifting things with
out sharing in Its maledictions and curses.
It Is an old story that the world often re
lects its benefactors and crucifies its
saviour. You will need a motive which
will endure to the end and grow brighter
with the advancing years and waning
physical strength. Therefore at all times
study to show thyself approved of God.

tm and fa a month, will ask that they be
raised to V0. md that the one principal
now receiving $100 will request $123. Those
who are In the smaller buildings, receiving
$70. think they should be paid $1.
Although no definite information has been

itors of the different buildings for the en

DE8 MOINES. April 4 Peclal.-The
work of tearing down the scaffolding in the
state house will begin Tuesday. The work
will begin In th space about and above
the grand stalrcaso. where the decorations
will have tx-en completed by that time.
The decorations were delayed by the fail
ure of the capltol commission to decide
on Inscriptions that were to be placed on
the walls In that part of the building and
on the work of changing the colored glass
In the skylights. The scaffolding In the
rotunda will also be removed at the same
time. The VW0 decoration have now
begun to make a very excellent showing,
enough having been completed. On the
first floor the effect sought Is that of
mosaic work lending a substantial appear
ance to the effect. On the celling, which
projects Into the rotunda, there are twelve
space and In these are being painted the
twelve signs of the xoriiae In the same
mosaic effect. On the floors above there
is a great deal of the gold and deep blue.
In the cove of the celling above the grand
staircase there Is pMnted on all four side
an American eagle. On the west wall are
Inscription from Patrick Henry, George
William Curtis and Solon and above the
entrances to the house and senate In gold
the Inscription: "Our liberties we rrlxe
and our rights we will defend." The work
of decorating the house chamber has com
menced and scaffolding will be placed In
the supreme court room immediately after
the adjournment of this term of court.
Get Indian Baskets.
Charles Aldrlch, curator of the historical
building, ha been notified that a collee
tlon of Indian baskets selected from the
duplicates In the national museum by Dr,
Otis T. Mason has been shipped to the
Iowa historical building. The baskets are
expected In a few days. The department
has also received a buffalo skull from
parties In Penlson, la., who discovered It
there.
The discussion over the subject of
whether or not buffalo ever Inhabited the
state of Iowa has grown more Intense
because of the reward of $50 offered by R.
I. Garden of Tracey, and now a number
of men have ben located who claim to
have seen buffalo and to have een them
killed. Major S. H. M. Byers of this city
remembers that while a boy a buffalo was
caught near Oskaloosa and was taken to
a blacksmith shop owned by a William
Cowan and there thrown and a ring placed
In Its nose and that the animal was kept
aliv.
Prises for Drrft Horses.
The State Fair association has decided
to offer twi distinctly new prize this year
for draft horses raised In America. There
are the regular rrlxes in each class as
formerly and In addition two new prises
in each class for domestic horse raised
by the exhibitor. This has been brought
about by the suggestion of Hon. H. G,
McMillan, district attorney for Northern
Iowa, a noted horse breeder, who claims
that the draft horses should be raised by
the farmer who can work the mares, and
that there Is more money in raising horses
then In raising cattle.
Censo Shows Inerease.
A. H. Davison, secretary of the executive
council, said today that' the census of tho
state. In his estimation, will show an In
crease of at least 10 per cent. Enough
counties have been heard from to Justify
the prediction that there will be an In
crease. He says the rural counties first
returned showed a decrease, but later re
turns show sufficient Increase to believe
that the entire state will show a good gain.
No figures have yet been given out from
the executive council's office.

Bat Fraction of Crop Marketed.
George H Wells, secretary of the Iowa

flcures to show that only one-eighth of the

sa City. Chicago, St. Iuls, Minneapolis,
Peoria, Milwaukee and Memphis last year
there was marketed 113.54S.O0O bushes of
com out of a crop of 1.3.03.000 bushels.
