BATTLES ARE NOT ALL OVER

CONTEST OVER DEPARTMENT COMMANDER
State Board of Control Selects Super
intendenta of Boys' Industrial
School and the Soldiers'
Orphans' Home.
(From a Staff Correspondent.
DES MOINES, June 4.-Spec!al.) There
is prospect of a lively time j.t the depart
ment encampment of the a rand Army of
the Republic, department of Iowa, nt
Mason City, next week. The program which
has been arranged Includes a'gOud many
of the best speakers of the et&te, and
aside from this there Is grtnt Interest In
the contest which la going on for depart
ment commander. The fight ht present ap
pears to be entirely between R. T. St. John
of Rlcevllle, Mitchell county, and J. A.
Spealman of Fairfield, Jefferson county.
There are two other candidates, P. A.'
Smith of Greene county and A. II. Hamil
ton of Wapello county. They may both
drop out before the day comet for the
balloting.
In the case of St. John and Spealmnn
their friends have allowed the contest to
get to the point where lt Is decidedly dis
agreeable. Mr. St. John .was brought out
by the Veterans' association of northeast
ern Iowa last winter, and this association,
which held a reunion this week, will back
him to a man. He Is one of the youngest
of the veterans of the war, as he enlisted
as a mere boy and late. He haa been
prominent on the State. Agricultural board
and waa twice Its president. The very
fact that he was so young when the war
broke out Is being used against him and
the story Is being circulated that he did
not even leave the state. As a matter of
fact, he enlisted In an Iowa company, but
his parents would not let him go, and he
went over Into Illinois and enlisted as a
recruit in a cavalry company and was sent
at once to the front, where there was
fighting going on, and he waa not mustered
out until late in 1863, so that he merely
had time to get home for Christmas.
The other candidate Is an older man. His
friends having started the story about
St. John never having seen service, lt haa
been alleged In retaliation that Mr. Speal
man has been posing as a captain when
he waa not a captain. One of his comrades,
editor of a paper In Fairfield, publishes
that Spealman was a lieutenant and that
he resigned and went home after less than
two years' service. Instead of being elected
captain of. the company, lt Is claimed that
the captain who originally went out with
the company remained as captain until a
year or more after Spealman went home.
While these are samples of the accusa
tions which are being hurled back and
forth, the contest Is likely to turn on a
different question. It Is discovered here
that J. W. Muffly of this city is a candidate
for assistant adjutant general and that
Mr. Spealman haa .agreed to appoint him
or some other person to be named by
Crocker post, the largest post In the state.
This brings the fight direct against Dr.
O. A. Newman, the present assistant ad
jutant general, who. It Is supposed, will
be continued in the position if St. John
wins. Dr. Newman lives in Cedar Falls
and Is a past department commander. He
haa also been secretary of the state senate
several sessions and all agree that he is a
most excellent adjutant.
The fight against St. John Is therefore
being made on the theory that he la the
candidate of "the ring" and that there Is
a coterie of the grand army men who have
been passing the honor around among
themselves and that Adjutant Newman Is
the head and center of the thing. It ia
said that Mr. Spealman Is out after New
man more than he Is after St, John and
that Newman's friends. In consequence, are
lining up for the northern Iowa candidate.
A great deal of letter writing is going on
and the candidates are traveling about over
the state In great activity ' to corral the
necessary votes. The situation promises an
interesting contest at the encampment.
The State Board, of Control today solved
the problem of filling two vacancies at
state Institutions, which vacancies have
caused them some trouble. These places
have been vacant some time and many
applicants - have labored to secure them.
At Eldora, Superintendent B. J. Miles,
who had charge of the Boys' Industrial
school for twenty-five years had resigned
to ' accept a place In Washington at a
similar Institution. The board today named
Colonel Lyman D. Drake of Boonevllle,
Mo., for the place. He has been for a
number of years at the head of the Mis
souri Training school, which has developed
into one of the finest Institutions of the
kind In the country and has given espe
cial attention to the Industrial feature. He
has taught the boys In tlila school all sorts
of trades and has erected sixteen brick
buildings on the place entirely with the
work of the boys who are there to learn.
It is the Intention of the Iowa board to
develop the industrial feature of, the school
t Eldora, and Colonel Drake was selected
over any of the Iowa applicants because
of Ms success In that line.
The board elected Prof. F. J. Seaalong
of Cedar Rapids to be superintendent of
the Soldiers Orphans' home at Davenport
to succeed the late Superintendent M. J.
On... who died about two months ago,
after having been there ten years. Prof.
Scsrlons is a native of Iowa and a grad
uate of Cornell college. He has been en
gaged In school work and In business, and
at present Is superintendent of the Iowa
school exhibit at St. Loula.
Prof. Frank J. Wilder of Iowa City was
CUSTOM
SHAPES
today elected state geologist by the state
geologic board. Prof. Wilder Is assistant
professor of geology In the State uni
versity, and second to Prof. Samuel Calvin,
who has Just resigned. The resignation
of Prof. ..Calvin was brought about by his
desire to devote some time each year to
personal business matters, and he will con
tlnue as professor of geology at the uni
versity. He has been state geologist for
the past twelve years and has edited the
annual volumes of the geological survey
while at the same time doing much of the
field work In person. Prof. Wilder was for
a time state geologist of North Dakota
and last year went to the State university
at Iowa City. All the members of the
board were present.
New Rock Rapids Company,
Adjutant M. H. Byers returned today
from Rock Rapids, where he mustered In
the new company of the Iowa National
Guard, which takes the place of the Hamp
ton company In the Fifty-sixth regiment.
The company waa well organized and
forty-three men were mustered In. The
officers elected were: John J. Maloney,
captain; Grant - Vlckers, first lieutenant;
JeBse S. Kelllhan, second lleptenant. The
company will have a good armory and
will build one later. There has been no
action taken as yet in regard to the com
pany at Ames,
Grave. Pleads Guilty.
C. W. Graves pleaded guilty to man
slaughter In the district court today. He
waa tried a month ago for the murder
of his wife last winter and was found
guilty In the first degree, receiving a life
sentence at the hands of the court. A
new trial was granted, partly because one
of the Jurors waa shown to be prejudiced
and partly because the sentence was re
garded aa too severe for circumstantial
evidence. The second trial was to have
takon place next week. Today he waa
allowed to plead guilty to manslaughter,
and It Is the understanding he will get
a sentence of eight years. His wife was
found dead In the kitchen, and the evi
dence against him was entirely circum
stantial. After a simple, but Impressive funeral
service at his late residence, 1622 West
Ninth street, the remains of ex-Lieutenant
Governor Guo were laid to rest this aft
ernoon In Woodland cemetery. The ser
vice at the house waa conducted by Rev.
Mary A. Snfford, pastor of the First Uni
tarian church, who spoke of the religious
views of the deceased. Another speaker
wns Judge Glfford S. Robinson, of the
State Board of Control, who commented
upon Mr. Gue'a puhllo career.

The teachers of the city schools will not
be allowed to attend the exercises given
by the graduating class of the high school.
In the words of Superintendent Schllen
berger, "It would not be well for any
teacher to attend, for the board would
request that teacher's resignation. This
condition Is due to the fact that the gradu
ates have taken matters in their own hands
and with the consent of Iheir parents have
engaged the opera bouse, secured a speaker
and will ctrry out complete graduation ex
ercises without the consent of the school
board. Feeling has been very high over
this matter. Superintendent Bchellenberger
announced that If the board gave in to the
class that he would resign. The class was
presented with their diplomas this morn-'
ing In the office of the superintendent.
