* hi Checks-For All Minie Work-
Ness' Methiotis of Keeping Ac-
cotinti , atiti Doing l1iiiiiepp , ,
DES MOINES , In. , Aug. 7.-Special.- ( )
The state etflclala have adopted a novelty
in the way of doing state business , made
necessary by the new law In regard to the
nianageinent of state institutions. The
people of the state will learn of
the changed buninees method by
reason of the appearance of a distinctive
state treasury check which is to be tised
on all state business. Thie will be strictly
an Iowa check anti will bear upon its face
a lithograph design together with a likeness -
ness of Samuel S. Kirkwood , Iowa's war
governor , It in designed to do all the business -
ness for the state institutions of Iowa
and will be drawn on two local banks , It
will be tinted in yellow and green with the
safety lining.
As soon an it can be completed another
check , a steel plate brown , will also ho put
in circulation as the general business check
of the department. Thin will have as ono
of its distinguishing features a cut of James
.
\V. , Grimes , the Iowa senator antI statesman -
man who occupied a seat in the United
States senate from 1850 to 1869 , and otherwise -
wise figured largely in making Iowa and
national history. This check will be drawn
on eight different depositories.
Tlte I't's't' itegtine ,
The advent of thcso two checks into the
business circrcs of the atato will nlark the
commencement of a new regime in ( lie omce
of state treasurer. The old check book with
its accompanying stubs will be abolished and
a new and simpler system brought into use.
Check registers will be. adopted and frotn
them all moneys will be checked by the
iowa treasury check to meet all the demands
of ( ho state institutions. The new method
will greatly facilitate the business of the
omco.
It is only since the new board of control
law went into effect the first of last month
that ( ho state treasurer has had the respoti-
sibility of handling the funds of the , state
institutions in detail. Heretofore the money
duo each institution was checked out in a
lump to the treasurer of the institutions , us-
unlly quarterly. These officers usually tie-
posited the sum in a local batik and used it
at the convenience of ( lie institution. Under
the new law the state treasurer must pay
directly from the Treasury department all
bills incurred by the various institutions
that are audited and allowed by ( lie board
of control.
This greatly increases the work and necessarily -
cessarily the machinery of the department
and it was partly to simplify thus that the
state treasurer decided to adopt the new
scheme of checks.
But perhaps a more important reason than
( lila was a desire to establish a distinctively
Iowa treasury check , a check that would
eventually become as well known in the bus-
incas circles of the state as the Unitel , States
pension check has come to be kqpwn. The
new check furthermore , being so distinctly
a state government check , will reduce the
doubt and uncertainty in the matter of the
federal revenue stamps.
Griuies auth Kirkwoo,1 ,
The state treasurer could liardiy have selected -
lected two faces which would distinguish
these checks thbre than those of the Iowa
statesmen , Kirkwood and Grimes , Both
cuts arc excellent. The one of Kirkwood
was taken at the time he was secretary
of the Interior under Garfield , The one
of Grimes is an excelient likeness , repro-
seating hUn as he was during his career in
the United States senate.
The careers of both men arc recalled with
much pride by the older citizens of the
state , Grimes was a native of New Hampshire -
shire , born in 1830 , while Kirkwootl was a
Marylander , born in the year 1813. The
former came to Iowa in an early day anti
settled at Burlington , , which was his home
until his death , He was a member of the
first territorial legislature of Iowa at the
age of 22 years. Then ho was made a mem-
her of the fourth general assembly of Iowa
atid before his term expired was elected
governor. In 1850 , before he had completed
his term as governor , lie resigned to take
a seat in the United Staten senate , which he
occupied for ten years. He died in 1872.
Kirkwoocl came to Iowa in 1855 and in
1856 was made state senator , lie bad been
a democratic leader in Ohio politics until
the slavery question became prominent and
was a member of the Ohio convention which
framed ( ho constitution of Ohio , In 1866 he
was elected United States senator and was
twice governor of Iowa. During Garfield's
administration ho held the important posi-
( ion of secretary of the interior ,
COILATERAL INIIElIJ'VA1'CC TAX.
Iosvn Vhhl Oflin ftLure Revenue from
flint Source ,
DES MOINES , -Special.-County ( )
Attorney James A , Howe says that the eel-
lateral inheritance tax law as amended by
the legislature is going to bo pretty profitable -
able to the state , judging by the way the
ehekels are going to how into the state's
coffers from this county , Since the law has
been changed making the trustee or admin-
ietrator personally liable for the tax , Mr.
howe thinks there will be no more trouble
about collections , and he feels confident that
every year will see many thousands of Aol-
lam revenue pour in ( rein this source alone.
Polk county viii contribute between $10,000
and $15,000 for the durrent year , and ( lie
amount will likely increase rather than
diminish from this time on , It is similar to
that with the whisky question , The licenses
were collected with nore or less dimculty
until the real eatate wan pnde liable under
the mulct law , but since that time there
han been little frictions and the saloonkeep-
era have walked chalk yith great regularity ,
The trustees and administrators are lining
UI ) beautifully since they were made personally -
ally responsible for the I 4'ment of the tax ,
bccauao large fortunes a generally involved
when it comes to settlements with collateral
heirs , and the men chosen to administer
them are personally reii64iblo for considerable -
erablo amounts usuah1 . Jcing responsible ,
they do not care to havelinroads made on
their own "bar'le , " aid they are therefore
particular to see that the law is fully corn-

NEW YORK , Aug. 7-The Times pub'
lishies the following :
"Another uttel ) in the general scheme of
consolidation of the Vanderbilt railroatl interests -
terests was deterniinetl upon at a meeting
of the presidents and managers of the 5ev-
oral railroads and fast freight lines , held
in the Grand Central station Friday. President -
dent Callaway of the New York Central
railroad nnnounced today that the eight fast
freight hues which operate over the railroads -
roads comprising ( lie Vonderbilt. system will
at once be consolidated into two divisions ,
with general hieatiquarters in Buffalo. This
step , it is expected , will result in a large
saving of expenses. It will reduce ( lie
working forces now employed by these
freight hine more than one-half.
"The eight fast freight linen connected
with the Vanderbilt roads are at present
under the supervision of five different managers -
agers , as follows :
"The Red lIne , the White line , the Midland
line are managed by F. L. Pomeroy , with
headquarters at Buffalo ; the Blue line and
the Canada Southern line by C. 0. Street
from Rochester ; the \Vest Shore line , by
\v. F. Wilson from Buffalo , the North Shore
dispatch , by V. ' . J. Mann from Detroit , and
( Ito Nickel Plate , by D. F. Jennings from
Chicago. These lines are to be so consolidated -
dated that all 'will operate over the New
York Central railroad and its connections
will constitute one system and all operating
over the \Vest Shore and its connections , the
other system. It is likely ( hint each individual -
dividual freight line will retain its name
for the sake of convenience. The New
York Central system will include the Red
line , White line , Midland line , Blue line
and Canada Southern line , The West Shore
system will include ( lie North Shore Dispatch -
patch and the West Shore and the Nickel
Plate lines.
