Yesterday Captain Pryor Issued the re
quired order for the participation In the
election by the Dodge Light guardfl.
For several months there has been a gooA
deal of earnest campaign work done In Ida
Third regiment for the election of Colonel
. Leper , who Is declared to be the choice of a
largo majority of the guards. Hla only oppo
nent Is lilcliard Gal nee of Greenfield. There
are several candidates for ir.yjor of this regi
ment and a number of combinations have
been fixed up. Ono of these , and the original
cne. provided for the election of Colonel
Leper and ttio promotion by election of Cap
tain Pryor of the guards to the pcsltlon of
major. Leper was then to appoint First Lieu
tenant Comptan regimental adjutant. This
would leave the company without officers and
tlio vacant places were to be filled at once
by the election of Ernest Cook captain and
two men selected from the ranks on the ba
sis of standing to nil the other positions.
ThU arrangement has been somewhat broken
by the appointment of Lieutenant Compton
as battalion adjutant , but so far as can bo
lentned the original program may be car
ried out. There are two other candidates for
major Captain Moore of Vllllsca and Cap
tain Miller of Medford. Ono thing Is assured
that the full vote of the company hero will
bo cast for Colonel Loper. In the Fourth ,
regiment there Is only ono candidate for the
major's commission , Captain W. A. Kirk ot
Sioux City. The Interest in these elections
Is very keen and this , added to the possi
bility of actual ecrvlco in the field has
caused the local company tn bo recruited to
Its full strength.
In connection with the Interest that Is be
ing felt In tbo Iowa militia now the , re
port of Colonel F. Cooltc , Inspector of
small anr.fi , which has just been filed wild
the adjutant general , Is of unusual Impor
tance , showing , as , It , does , the extraordinary
efficiency of the Iowa National guard. The
report shows a very gratifying Improvement
In the efficiency of the Iowa troops as marks
men. The repcrt shows that there Is a total
of sixty-nine United States sharpshooters and
marksmen now in ( tie service and that un
der state rules there are 213 diarpshooters
and 343 marksmen , a very large gain over
last year.
Of the regiments the Fourth Is flrat ,
with 490 men , 7 ? per cent firing , 366 com-
plctlng the course and a merit of 67.2 a fine
stowing. The Third regiment follows with
433 men firing , 261 completing the course and
a merit of G4.1. The Second regiment had
394 men firing , 163 completed the course and
Its figure of merit is 36.2. Of all these
show a good Increase ovec last year. The
First regiment had 217 men firing. 84 com

Inir Tliclr Trmle.
It Is now possible that the novelty of a
gas -well may be added to the already largo
list of attractions that Council iDluffs pos
sesses. Ad Fry and another workman are
at present engaged In digging a well for
A. T. 'Fltcklnger ' on a lot on Graham avenue
for which Mr. Fllcklnger is asent. Laut
Friday , while at a depth of ninety feet , Fry
struck a sharp point of rock which protruded
a few Inches Into the well , and upon his
breaking off this projection there was a
hissing sound and a rush of gas through
the rock , which proved to bo hollow. The
phenomenon was a new ono to Fry and he
at first supposed that he had hit upon an
underground chamber of air. In a few
minutes , however , he found that the atmos
phere of the well was becoming very suffocat
ing , and ho'was obliged to signal for his
companion to draw him to the surface. The
men had not struck water , and that being
their only aim , they Immediately set to
work to free the well from the gas , using
the means commonly employed by well
diggers In removing Impure air. Later In
the day Fry again ventured into the well
and Inserted a pipe Into the opening in the
rock anil 'by ' attaching other pieces to the
tlrst the pipe was extended to the surface.
This freed the bottom of the well from the
presence of any more gas and enabled the
workmen to proceed.
The gai U still escaping through the gas
pipe and emits a roaring sound. It comes
with the same velocity as when first dis
covered. At the time of the dlicovery the
ta Hie bottom ot the well wu ot a
very hard variety , known as "harJ pan , " A t
good well digger Is only able to go through
about three feet of this dirt In a day. On
Saturday the "hard pan" In the well e l-
dcnly came to an abrupt termination and
quick sand was struck. This sand Is a great
nourco of danger to the well digger and he

DBS MOINB3 , March 6. ( Special Tele
gram. ) Saturday , March 26 , Is the day now
commonly fixed as the close of the legisla
tive session. It need bo no occasion for
surprise If the board of control bill passes
both houses In the next five or six dajs.
When this la tlono the great task of the
session is accomplished. A few measures
on the calendars may bo expected to occa
sion considerable debate , but they arc few.
The appropriation bills have been cut to the
bono I and will go through In short order.
The Memorial hall appropriation aqj that
for the Omaha exposition will make vlg
orous contents and the result on both Is
uncertain. The paring of the amounts asked
by the etato institutions has greatly en
couraged the Omaha people and those who
want the Memorial ball cared for and It
looks as If Omaha might after all get a
respectable amount.
The pending constitutional amendment res
olutlons are likely to cause some trouble.
The eenato has thus far declined to pass
the Whelan resolution , and the house In re
tallatlors Is holding up the TltiH resolution.
The former proposes giving each county a
member of the lower house and the latter
proposes a system of biennial elections for
the state. The practically assured passage
of the board of control bill gUcs now strength
to the Whelan resolution , fcr the friends
of the two measures are In the main of the
same group of members In both houses. The
opponents to the board of control bill have
been In the main responsible for the opposi
tion to theWhelan measure and with the
back of that obstructlotvtry policy broken li
the board of control fight It looks as If there
would bo a good chance for the \Vhelaci
m ears u re. The Tltua resolution for ai
amendment to the constitution , lias not come
out of committee and Is unlikely to do so
except with an unfavorable report. It pro
poses to allow juries to consist of less than
twelve men and to permit flvc-felxtlu ? of the
members of a Jury to return a verdict. The
lawyers eeem generally opposed to It.

Triumph of lo vu flutter
Iowa butter and the Iowa Dairy school of
the Iowa Agrlcultural" * cllege at Ames
have added another .laurel , ' Iff" their victories
says the Marshalltown Times-Republican ,
At tbo National Dairy convention held In
Topeka , Kan. , last week the butter from this
school captured the second , fourth and fifth
prizes In a competition of 500 tubs , coming
from all the dairy states of the union , from
Maine to California , and its prize tub scored
higher in flavor than any other butter or
exhibition. Flavor is universally considered
to be the most Important quality of good
butter and the mcst difficult > to obtain. This
achievement , following the first prize and
sweepstakes premium won by the Iowa Dairy
school butter In the largest state conven
tion last fall , places the school in excellent
standing , particularly as it Is the only
school In the United States that has ever
won any prize in a prominent dairy contest.
Mr. Jerry Sexton , one of the college em
ployes , recently sent a tub of this butter tea
a friend In Vlcksburg , Mlsa. , and the Vlcku
burg Dalrly Herald , in commenting on Its
excellence , said It was the best butter ever
eateu In Vlcksburg. The reputation of the
Iowa Dairy school for the excellence of Its
product has already attracted wide atten
tion and Is commanding a liberal premium
on Us largo output of product , which al
certain seasons of the year reaches 1,000
pounds per day. The students In attendance
are no longer confined to Iowa , but come
from an area of ten or a dozen Plates , one
graduates are filling responsible positions In
every dairy state In the union. The manu
facture of none but the highest grade dairy
products in every butter and cheese factory
In the state would net the dairymen of Iowa
$1,000,000 more money annually than Is real
Izer under present conditions. This Is rap
Idly being accomplished by the graduates o
the Iowa Dairy school.

WILL PASS THE RELIEF BILL
House Will Take Up and Posh the Senate
Measure This Week ,
ARTILLERY BILL WILL BE CONSIDIRED
Oiiponltlon tn thp l'roio cil Incrrnao
UUni | Mir nnd Thrre In Little
Doubt of 1'nt orutilc
Action.
WASHINGTON , March 6. H Is probable
that both the bill for the relief of 4ho sur-
vlvore and the victims of the Malno disas
ter and the Bcrwto bill creating two addi
tional regiments of artillery with \\hlch to
man the coast defenses wilt pass the hou c
this week. The former bill was held up
until It could bo Investigated , as It was
said that the special bill for the relict of
the survivors and the victims of the Samoan -
moan wreck In 18SS led to some scandal.
That bill was loosely drawn and It has been
asserted some advantage of its provisions
were taken. The present bill has been care
fully drawn and Is now wtlsfactory to Mr.
Cannon , chairman of the committee on ap
propriations.
Practically all opposition to the artillery
bill has now disappeared In the house. The
leaders were , It is said , In favor of delaying
action on it to allay public alarm , which
might hnvo been Intensified had It been
rushed through the house as it was through
'tho ' senate.
Beyond action on these two measures the
house program this week , so far as Is now
anticipated , Is entirely peaceful and has no
reference to possible foreign complications
Tomorrow is District of Columbia day , am1
Friday , by special order , has been set aside
for the consideration of the Bowman ac'
claims bills.
The Thorp-Dppa contested election case
will occupy two , poselbly three , days , am'
sucli tlmo as remains will probably bo cotr
suuieil In the consideration of the postolllcc
appropriation bill , which Is expected to be
ready by Wednesday.
Any unlocked for development In the
Spanish situation might change the program.
The Hcnato will In all probability begin
the week with the consideration of the bill
making appropriations for the District of
Columbia , and when this Is completed will
take up the conference report on the legis
lative , exesutlvo and Judlcl-U appropriation
bill , which ha been agreed upon and will
bo made to the senate tomorrow.
U la considered quite probable tl.at the
district bill will consume two or three days ,
or even more. One or more of the ques
tions In this bill which may arouse debate
Is the action of the senate committee on ap
propriations In striking out the Item In the
bill as It came from the house limiting tele
phone charges in the district. There will be
an effort to restore 'this provision. The cen
sus bill , the Methodist book agent bill and
Senator Pettlgrew's bill donating 5 per cent
of the proceeds of 'the sales of public lands
to the various states In which the lands are
located will contend for right of way when
there are no appropriation bills to receive
attention , and It la as yet uncertain which
of them will bo first taken up.
All of these may be antagonized by the
annexation treaty , but the plans of the for
eign relations committee with reference to
the treaty are so far too Indefinite to per
mit any prediction as to what it will do.
There are three little things which do

WASHINGTON , March C. ( Special. ) The
Interstate Commerce commission has Issued
for public information a book showing all
existing national , state and local commercial
organizations and all national , state and lo
cal agricultural associations , and the vari
ous railway associations , their locations and
the names of the president , secretaries and
commissioners. A list confined to commercial
organizations was Issued by tbo commission
about three years ago , which , though by no
mcira complete , speedily came to bo In great
demand as a mailing list and for reference
purposes in all parts of the country. In com
pliance with many requests the present re
vised and extended list has been prepared.
The new list embraces about 3,500 boards
of trade and other commercial societies ,
about 4,000 agricultural associations and ap
proximately 300 railway organizations.
