lliinlnesx.
Tho January term of tho district court will
bo convened tomorrow morning with Judgo
A. H. Thornell on tho bench. Tho term
promises to ho a busy one, as the docket
shows a large number of civil ensoa Haled,
and tho criminal business Is likely to bo
above tho average. Tho grand Jury will bo
convened at 10 o'clock tomorrow morning.
Tho first matter to come before tho court
will be tho .hearing on tho petition of In
tervention filed In tho Officer &. Puscy rc
colvcrshlp by Day & Hess and J. K. Cooper.
This Is the petition In which tho plaintiffs
stuto they represent creditors whoso claims
against tho bank aggregate upward of $250,
000 and In which It la alleged thut tho bank
was Insolvent at tho time tho deposits of the
Intervenors wero made, and that thereforo
tho moneys bo deposited should bo declared
trust funds and given preference.
Tho caso Is tho most importnnt yet com
menced In the lltlgntlnn over the winding
up of tho hank's affairs. If tho contention
of tho Intervenors Is sustnlncd by the court
It will practically wipe out of existence all
preferred claims and every creditor of tho
firm will havo to shnro alike.
Tho petition was tho result of tho al
leged discoveries of the expert nccountnnt

tho firm In tho Interest of tho credltoni.
Mr. Walters, tho expert accountant, Is au
thority for tho statement that his Investi
gation shows that tho hanking firm of Offi

It was on tho strength of this statement that
tho petition web flled. Iho hearing hns been
specifically assigned for tomorrow by Judgo
Thorncll and the outcome Is being watched
with nioro than usual Interest, owing to the
Importance the result will bo to a large

slight amendment to tho nrmy regulations
relating to military transports, the object
of which Is moro clearly to dollno tho du
ties and responsibilities of the principal
olllcers In chnrge, viz., tho master of tho
vessel and tho quartermaster. Tho quar
termaster has supremo chargo of tho ves
sel nnd cargo when In port nnd also di
rects tho movements of tho ships from ono
port to another tn execution of tho orders
of tho War department. He, however, has
nothing to do with tho navigation of the
ship when under way. Then the mnster
of tho vessel is In supremo command nnd
Is tho only person authorized' to give or
ders to his subordinates, Including the
crew. This hns been tho general Bystom of
operation of tho transport, scrvlco for
months past, but there seemed to bo some,
misunderstanding as to tho relative au
thority of tho quartermaster and the shlp'n
captain at sea and the new regulations
were Issued to prevent tho possibility of
any further doubt on the mnttcr by tho
persons directly concerned.

tho farmers and thero In a constantly In
creasing demand for lectures on this sub

farmers manifest tho greatest Interest in
evory phnso of tho subject und on every
octuslon ply tho lecturer with all sorts of
questions about tho science of meteorology.

lectures nt thero Institutes, but owing to
tho condition of his health ho will go to
but few places this year. The stato makes
no provision for paying tho expense of lec
turers or speakers for these farmers' Insti
tutes, but each year a number of tho col
lege professors nt tho Iowa Stato college
go to these local Institutes nnd add to their
vnluo to the farmers. Something like 200

sion of veterinary surgery Is placed In the
snmo category with other professions und
nil who nro entitled to engage In vctcrlnnry
work must bo nbtu to exhibit certlllcutes In
dicating eomiK'toncy. Tho last legislature
created a Stato Hoard of Veterinary Ex
aminer nnd charged It with tho duty of
registering tho veterinarians of tho state.
This board consists of: President, W. A.
Hock, Maquokcta; secretary, H. E. Talbot,
Dcs Moines; treasurer, S. II. Johnston,
Charles City. Provision was mado for reg
istering veterinarians who had been en-
gnged In tho profession for five years In
lown, similar to tho provision mado when
tho medic a J practice act went Into force,
und under this provision about 350 vet
erinarians will receive certificates. Ono
hundred und eight graduates of veterinary
schools presented diplomas and wero regis
tered upon these. Hereafter nil who deslro
certificates must bo graduates of schools
and also submit to an examination by the
bonrd. The meeting of tho Stuto Veterinary

A great many of tho teachers of tho state
never nttend tho conventions of tho lowa
Stato Teachers' association and among
thoso who nro thus absent u largo number
havo formed what they call tho Central
Iowa Teachers' association. This was or
ganized at Nevada a year ago nnd has
about, 300 members. Thoy claim they can
get better results from a small conven
tion of this kind than from tho unwieldy
stnto convention. This year tho conven
tion Is to meet about tho middle of Feb
ruary and Marshalltown will probably bo
tho placo selected. Dr. Vincent of Chlcngo
nnd others hnvo been Invited to glvo nd
dresscs. Information comes from Cluy,
Carroll and other northern nnd northwest
ern counties of tho state to the effect that
teachers -are scarce this year und that tho
districts find It hard to find a sufficient
number of teachers qualified to tako earo
(if tho rural schools. Tho number of male
teachers Is noticeably smaller than for
Ecvornl years and few men, except tho pro
fessionals, nro making application for
certificates. This is accounted for by tho
fact that there aro so many other oppor
tunities for men to cngago In business,
