lief corps of Iowa. Mrs. Myra L. Parker
waa elected president of the state depart
ment oy 178 votes, against 138 for Mrs.
Gsorgta Worker of the Davenport corps.

Island,, and the women thought, at least
a majority of the delegates present dM, that
the president should be a woman whose
home is In Iowa Charlotte B. Morgan of
Waterloo was elected president of tho
Ladies of the Grand Army of the Republic.
Bankers Oppose Branch Banks. .
The Iowa State Bankers' association ad
journed this afternoon after refusing to
adopt a proposed resolution favoring the
plan of having branch banks for national
banks. The convention even declined to
refer the resolution to the national meeting.
The next meeting will be held some time
In June. 1903. the exact date and place to
be fixed by the executive committee. While
there was no resolution passed fixing the
meeting place permanently at Des Moines,
the executive committee has been ssked to
consider the advantages offered by Des
Moines as a convention city so thst it Is
expected all conventions hereafter will corns
to this point. The feature of the closing
session was tbs speech of Charles A. Dawes,
ex-comptroller of the currency, on the
question, "Asset Currency and Branch
Banking." Mr. Dawes spoke for an hour
and a half, holding tbs closest attention of
his audience. Following are the officers
sleeted: President Homer .A. Miller, Des
Moines; vice president, L. F. Potter, Har
laa; treasurer, Frank Y. Locke, Sibley;
secretary, J. M. Dinwiddle. Cedar Rapids.
Dee Motaea Army Post,
The Des Moines army post is regarded
as perfectly safe, even though the house
of representatives at Washington passed a
resolution directing the reduction of .the
amount of appropriation for army posts by
$4,000,000. Congressman Hull has tele
graphed friends here that be has a sufficient
sum In the various other appropriation
bills to enable work to be commenced this
year on the post and the situation here will
not be affected in the least by the fate of
the regular army bill.
Steal Wire (rent Fair Ureands.
A daring robbery Is reported from the
state fair grounds last night. A maa. evi
dently aa artist in his line, climbed the
electric light poles running through the
grounds and eut over 660 feet of heavy
copper wire, worth $75. This hs carried
away, probably for the purpose of disposing
of It to one of the numerous Junk dealers ta
the city. J. H. Deemer, who lives on the
grounds, reported the matter this morning.
He aassrts that hs found tracks leading
from one pole to another and also found a
track leading from the grounds. He is of
(hs opinion that but one maa did the work.
Ia view of the tact that the wires were
heavily charged with electricity, the feat
la regarded as remarkable, and It Is thought
that an electrician of ability and under
standing la responsible for the deed. Wire
was stolen from the grounds once before
and recovered In a Junk abop. This wlrs
was stoles by three boys, who were sent
to the reform school. It was taken from
fences near the buildings, and It Is thought
that tbs deed last night was done ra aa
altogether different manner and was not the
work of boys.

The Iowa State Medical society today de
rided on holding the next meeting in Sioux
City, and selected officers as follows: Free!

Governor A. B. Cummins returned early
this morning from Rock Island, where hs
bad attended the department encampment
of the Illinois Grand Army of the Republlo,
He was accompanied by his official staff
and wag given a place of honor la the
grand parade on Wednesday afternoon. He
expressed himself as decidedly proud ef
his staff. He had sixteen men all properly
uniformed and mounted and Governor
Tates of Illinois had only tea men. while
Governor Van Sant of Minnesota had only
six of his staff with him.
"The reunion was a great success," eald
uovernor cummins. "Tne parade was
very line and a great many Iowa men were
there, finding It easier to reach Rock
Island from the eastern part of the state
than to come to Dee Moinea to attend the
Iowa encampment."
Adjutant General Byers and others of
the staff returned with the governor this
morning, but several went direct to their
homes.
Governor Cummins has an Invitation to
go to Neb-sska, but cannot accept.
Inspection of State Institutions.
i
I The State Board of Control went today
to pidora for ah official Inspection and to
morrow will be at the Iowa Soldiers' home
at Marshalltown, thence returning home.
Nothing new has transpired the last few
days in regard to the deaf school. Mem
bers of the legislature from the western
part of the state attending the reunion
this week have expressed some fear lest
there would be a movement to take the
deaf school from Council Bluffs la case an
extra session of the legislature Is called
to appropriate for it. They believe that
KnoxvlIIe would make a bid for the school
and offer the buildings already there aa an
excuse. The working plans for -the tern
porary buildings at Council Bluffs are now
being prepared and bida will be received
thereon before anything else la done.
Supreme Court Decisions.
The Iowa supreme court took a hand In
Council Bluffs real estate transactions to
day and decided the case of Bellinger
against Collins. Mrs. Bellinger had listed
with Day te Collins here property for sale.
and Collins & Chllda, another firm, found a
customer who took the property, paying
$2,000 cash and gtvlng other land worth
$2,000. They turned over the cash to Mrs.
Bellinger and had a deed to the land made
to Mrs. Collins. The supreme court to
day decided that the land taken in the
trade belonged to Mrs. Bellinger and over
turned the rulings of the lower court
The court declined to order a new trial
for Senator, William E. Mason of Illinois
on his appeal from the findings of the dis
trict court here. It was in the case of
the Bankers' Iowa State Bank against the
Mason Hand Lathe Company and W. E,
Mason. The Senator had Indorsed a note
for $3,000 given without considera
tion and deposited at the bank
on which the lathe company, of
which Frank Mason, tha senator's brother,
was manager, might secure credit. On such
credit an lndebtedneas ot $1,650 wag In
curred and the bank got Judgment for the
same. The court holds that although the
note was given without consideration the
seantor Is liable for the face of the note
aa lndoraer.
The supreme court overruled the motion
for rehearing in the case of Johnson against
the Omaha Railroad Company, from Wood
bury county, in which case the attorneys
for the railroad company had contended
that the court laid down a rule which
would enable all tramps to ride on trains
free because the court held the company
liable for damages for evicting a tramp
while a train waa In motion.
