Most of the members of the delegation
left for Pes Moines in a special car yes
terday morning over the Rock Island.
Others will leave this morning.
Btate Benator Saunders, who spent Satur
day at his home In this city, said he felt
Confident that the bill will never pass the
senate, but thought It possible that the one
Introduced In the house by Representative
Wright of Webster county might, as Rep
resentative Wright exercised considerable
Influence to the house.. '
The bill, while providing for the appoint
ment of a commission to relocate the In
stitution within 100 miles bf Des Moines,
also carries with- It an appropriation of
130,000 for new buildings and further pro
vides for the purchase of S20 acres of land
is a site for the,, school. The bill. If
passed, would further mean the abandon
ment of property worth at least 1100,000,
according to the report of the Board of
Control, owned by Xtie state in Council
Bluff a. These features of the proposed
bill, la Senator Saunders' opinion, will
kill It. - ,
Fort Dodge Is now the loudest advocate
tor the removal of the school. It Is not
entirety disinterested, however, as It wants
the school, and Fort Dodge comes within
the 100-mlle limit of Des .Moines. Representative-

W. C Rogers, sentenced to twenty-five
years In the penitentiary for the murder
of Baloonkeeper Bert Forney, was taken
to Fort Madison yesterday. In view of the
possibility of an attempt on ths part of the
prisoner's friends to rescue him enroute to
the penitentiary, the time of his departure
from Council Bluffs was kept quiet
Yesterday morning at I o'clock Sheriff
Canning, accompanied by Deputies McCaf

BLUFFS.
At Pacific Junction they caught the Bur
lington train and a telegram received by
Jailer Oallup last night about 10 o'clock
announced that Rogers had been safely
landed at the penitentiary without Incident.
If Rogers' alleged criminal record Is cor
rect this is not his first acquaintance with
the Fort Madison penitentiary. He Is said
to have served a term there In 1W1 for
house breaking at Charlton. He served
that sentence under the name of William
Murphy.
By earning his full good conduct allow
ance Rogers reduced his term to thirteen
years and nine months. The good conduct
allowances are one month the first year,
two the second, three the third, four the
fourth, five the fifth and six months each
succeeding year. Thus It will be seen In
a twenty-five-year sentence the prisoner
ran earn eleven years and three months by
good conduct, thereby shortening the sen
tence to thirteen years and nine months.

WORKS A SWINDLE ON TEACHERS.
Two Haadred of Them ladaeed to
Slga Small Notes.
AME8. Ia., March 13.-(Speclal Telegram.)
What promises to provs an extensive
swindle came to light here, the victims of
which number 300 school teachers In Story
county. Silver tongued grafters secured
the signatures of SOO county teachers to
notes for 11150 for payment for member
ship in a summer school to be held in
Ainee by the National Reading club next
summer, the members to receive ten books
besides ths course of studies. The smooth
agents had secured a recommendation of
County Superintendent Welty, which they
used in roping in their victims. It Is now
believed only two teachers of that county
paid cash.
Ths swindlers discounted the notea at
the banks for 111.60, clearing up CS00 and
decamping. The swindle was first sua
pected when It was found the notes were
altered from a year's time to sixty day
notes.

DES MOINE8. March . Special. -Cap-1
tain J. A. T. Hull, member of congress I
from the Seventh district, has returned to I
his work In congress and left the political I
situation to others. The county conventions 1
are all telns called as raddly as possible
and srenerallv the county committees are
composed of his friends, so that they can I
control the situation. Dallas county was I
first to be called and that la to be held I
next Thursday, but the primaries for the ventlon In this city for the purpose of
selection of county officers were held yes- nominating a congressman W. P. Hep
terday. The caucus system is followed In burn, the present Incumbent, will be re
the county and the caucuses were nearly nominated by acclamation. He hae no op
all held at the time of the primary, so position. On the same day the Third Ju
that the convention could be called at any dlelal district will hold a convention here
time. There Is Utile doubt that the county but there will be a contest for the nomlna
wlll place the delegation In the hands of tlon between Judge W. E. Miller of Bedford
Judge Nichols of Perry, who Is a candidate I
for delegate to the national convention
from the district, and that there will be
an endorsement of Governor Cummins and
hls administration and the republican state
platform. The Madison county convention
will be held soon after and then the con-
ventlon in Story county. Warren county I
will likely present a candidate for congressi
In the person of Judge J. H. Henderson,
The friends of Hull still feel entirely eon-
fidcnt that there will be no serious effort
to defeat him In the convention, especially
If he makes no further attempt to Influ-
ence the state convention against a Sev
enth district delegate to the national con
vention. Whether there has been art ac
tual truce entered Into again Is not known,
Before the last republican primary In this
county an agreement was entered Into be
tween the Hull people and the Cummins
people which assured the governor there I
would be no fight on him In the county
convention, but It was broken and a dele
ration of antl-Cummlns men named. The
Hull people have since denied any agree
ment, but It was entered Into by a com
mittee of his friends. But now It Is gen
erally believed that the fight will be con
fined entirely to the district delegates.
There sr. two candidates In Polk eounty
and several outside, and this will make
an Interesting race.
Tfje fact that the
congressional convention was given author
Itv to select the delegates 'to Chicago Is
complicating the matter.
Want Library Completed.
The members of the supreme court of
Iowa, who are ex-officlo trustees of the I
state library, have united in an appeal to I
the members of the legislature for a suf-
flclent appropriation to complete the new
state historical building, museum and
library. The part which Is devoted largely
to the historical research and museum has
been completed several years and Is now
ovircrowded, and it Is regarded as neces- I
sary that the library portion shall be fin
ished. There Is a very strong demand for
larger and better quarters , for the state
library, and when the building Is com-
pleted the present great library will, be e-
movea ineru mvo inv iw portion ana me
public documents, which will fill the pres
ent quarters of the library. ' The work has
been delayed several years and It Is very
probable will now be taken up. .

Clash as to Passes,
There ia a pretty sharp clash between
the conflicting Interests engaged in Irvine:
to secure legislation to require the railroad
compunles. to Issue passes for stock ship-
Qers. There are three bills before the
proper committees and a aubcommittee Is
trying to frame one bill that will cover all
the points. But It was found that there
are two clauses of shippers and their In
terests conflict. One of the bills was pre
pared to provide for return passes for the
regular stock shippers, men who make a
business of shipping and who have a num
ber of employee. Now the farm shippers
want the bill so framed as to exclude such
persons, and to limit It to the actual owners
of stock. This would cut out the men who
are sent by the regular shippers to accom
pany their stockput let In ths farm ship-
nera. Just at nreaent lha onutin. i. -

WASHINGTON, March 13.-An extended
period of personal explanation will un
doubtedly occur during the consideration
of the postoffice appropriation bill! which
will be called up Monday by Chairman
Overstreet Monday rightfully belongs to
the District of Columbia, but there are few
local matters on the calendar and Mr.
Babcock will abdicate In favor of the post
office bill.
The necessity, which many members of
the house feel, to have the congressional
record contain statements in explanation of
their alleged misconduct In the Postoffice
department, with regard to clerk hire, rent
of quarters, etc., has led the management
to adopt a most liberal policy with refer
ence to the general debate on the postoffice
bill. When these statements are all out
of the way the bill will be disposed of and
not before.
The bill making appropriations for the
support of the military academy will fonow
the postoffice bill and as there are no spe
cial orders for claims or pensions to Inter
fere It may be that both of these supply
measures will be disposed of this week.
Wood Case Coming L'p.

sideration of the fortification appropriation

posed oi will return to the nomination of
Genera Leonard Wood. The committee on
military affairs has recommended an
amendment to the fortification bill, au
thorising the purchase of a torpedo boat of
the "Protector" type for experimental pur
poses at a cost of 1250.000, and as several
senators have Indicated opposition to the
provision It Is said that It will be debated
at some length.
Other features of the bill also will re
ceive more or less attention. There are
still several speeches to be made on the
Woods case, but Senator Foraker, who is
In charge of the nomination, hopes to con
clude Its consideration during the week.
He will make the closing speech in support
of General Wood's confirmation. The Dis
trict of Columbia and Indian appropriation
bills probably will be reported during the
week and will be promptly taken up for
action.
If opportunity permits the bill providing
for an additional department building In
Washington as a home for the Departments
of State, Justice and Commerce and Labor
will be considered, and Benator Heyburn
has given notice that on Wednesday he
will call up the pure food bill.

PARIS, March It (New York World
Cablegram Special Telegrsm.)-The Paris'
police are taking deep Interest In
mysterious murder committed a few
days ego In the Boise de Boulogne. Two
of the shrewdest detectives In the de

so far they have found not the slightest
clue to the murderer. The murder was
discovered by a boatmsn rowing on the
lake early In the morning. He noticed on
the shore near some shrubbery a heap of
clothing, got out of his boat to Investi
gate and found a woman's bi
cycle suit. Ni'srby was a blood-stained
stiletto with an eight-Inch blade and In
the breast of the jacket was a cut that
told plainly where the knife had been
thrust. The police dragged the lake lust
off the shore where the clothing was
found and brought to the surface the body
of a beautiful woman of about 30 years.
In the face and neck were nearly a score
of wounds and one In the left breast that
