The little eklft of fmow that has covered the ground since Thanksgiving has brought about a condition of things that reminds old-timers ot winters nf long ago In this vicinity. For several nlghta the members of the night police force have been made aware of the presence In the vicinity of the town of what they believed to be wolves. Thurs day and Friday nights all doubts were pet ot rest when Officer Vandenburg stood at the northern end of his patrol beat and listened to the dismal bowlings of a pack of wolves that had como down from the vicin ity of Bg | lake. Vandenburg has heard wolves howl many times In his life , and Is nblo to distinguish the wolfish tone above nil other terreetlal noises. Officers whose night journeys take them In the southwest ern portion of the city , report the same condition of things , and have decided that the chorus of howls that make the Isst half of the night musical como from a lot ol wolves driven close to the city by hunger. Yesterday a report came from some of the men engaged In working around Big lake that a number of wolves were seen lurking In the grass In the vicinity during the day. An organized wolf hunt under the auspices of some of the sportsmen organizations of the city Is now being talked of. 1211 a Clnrlc Hound Ovi-r.

IiMtii I'roNs Comment. Sioux City Tribune : Governor-elect Shaw has profited by Governor Drake's experience with the ofllco seeker. DCS Molnes Leader : Montlccllo , In Jones county ' , breathes a sigh of relief. It had an clcctleci for postmaster and there was no blood shed. Iowa City Republican : The attorney gen eral dropped a bombshell Into the Soldiers1 home Tuesday , when he decided that there could bo no support drawn by the home from the state for Inmates unless these were actually at the home. The justice of this decision Is self-evident. Oflkftloosa Herald. A woman school teacher was convicted of forgery at Red Oak week before last and sentenced to the penitentiary. A petition to Governor Drake was started at once for her pardon and members of the Jury that convicted her signed the petition. What's the matter with getting after the jurymen next ? It Is just such things that help to disgust pertilo with courts and pile up uoeless costs for taxpayers to settle. Davenport Democrat : The legislative com- mtttco to visit state Institutions has plent > of work before It. It has been asking ques tions and looking about over since the as sembly adjourned , but up to date it has com pleted its Investigations on less thau half the Institutions. Those so far subjected to scrutiny arc the Independence Insane asylum , the Fort Madison penitentiary , the State university , the Marshalltown Soldiers' home the Anamosa penitentiary and the ClarlniM Insane asylum. Carroll Herald : The next legislature ought to provide for more Intelligent experimenta tion with the sugar beet. The possibilities of Iowa soil and climate In this dlrcctUn arc rreat. but to remove suspicion existing on the subject Intelligent direction of the culti vation and growth of the crop must be pro vided , that farmers can ece how much can bo obtained from the Industry In Iowa. At ore-sent people do not know how to plant or to care for the beet after It Is planted. A small state expenditure , tluci , would do much good for this particular farm Industry. Anamosa Journal : Too much slmpliclt } cannot bo Injected Into the billet system am the red tape which has characterized ths Aus tralian law from the start has served to thuart a per cent of the voters every year that Is entirely too large. The next legis lature would do well to remove the circle from the head of the ticket entirely am leave but one method of voting , whether It be the Intention of the voter to cast a stralgh ballot or scratch. Without the circle the cross would be placed In the square opposite the nanio of each candidate voted for. No c ily would this method clear away the mys tcry uhlch surrounds the ballot for nian > voters , but It would have a tendency to purlf ; political methods , Inasmuch as It would take a man as long to prepare a straight ballot as It would to scratch. lltuiicrx Kill n DcNp.
