ory of thos who have been receiving aid
from. th i county which 'gretd'th Boar4

Over twenty of th county' poor who
hav been regularly afforded raUef by Su
pervlsor Millar wer pn, hand yesterday
afternoon when'th board convened and
fvery.,oo'e- of thyrar, applied .to be.rellyd
of th-necessity of'gOlng to th poor farm.
Th board listened to each case, but re
served Its decision. - Several otb appli
cants Stated they 'would b satisfied If
furnlsaed with full so long as they would
be allowed to stay out of th poof farm.
This prejudice on th part of th county'
poo to go . to th poor 'farm cam as a
surprise to th supervisors and they are
In somewhat of .a quandary, to know how
to act Bom of. th member of the board
are Inclined to treat th fjueaUon a 'on
Of business and not A majtter of senti
ment, and make an. Ironclad rule that all
relief be discontinued except to those who
go to the poor farm. Even when the
board offered soma of - th protestant
transportation to th poor farm In order
that, they might look .over th new build
ings and see for themselves the comfort
able horn the county had built for them,
they flatly refused to sven consider the
proposition.
Th board will review each case sepa
rately before taking final action, and It is
expected that that ah exception may be
made in certain cases, put th majority
of the county' dependent will hav to go
to th poor farm or else provide for them
selves. Th board accepted th offer of H. a.
McGee of t32S for a lot adjoining the ceme
tery on North Second street which' had

costly character.

(From a Staff Correspondent)
DBS MOINES, June 27. 8peclal.)-lt la
learned that plans are being laid for the
formation of an organisation of some kind
for the purpose of ' furthering the cauae
of the constitutional amendment which
will abolish general state elections In the
odd numbered years In Iowa. While this
amendment was5 carried by the voter of
th state by a comfortable majority four
year ago when It waa submitted, and all
that ha happened since has been to add
to th desirability of biennial election, yet
there I a feeling among the ardent friends
of th amendment that It will not do to go
Into th campaign- without som poaltlv
effort for th amendment There will be
Influence at work to oppose th amend
ment and to continue the present system,
and they will work quietly to secure as
many vote as poaalbl against th amend
ment To offset this and th natural tend
ency of many voter to refuse to Indorse
any Innovation,' but always to leave things
just as they ar, on th supposition that
nothing can be better, th friend of the
amendment believe an organisation will be
necessary. -

ten pfohibltlonlsts, of which h was one,
called On General Miles in April th general
was evasive and wished th convention
postponed until after the democratic con
ventIon..'iThls .It la stated, has been hi
policy; since that time. Metcalf. said that

"General Mile is a very able man; he
has' been a consistent friend of the antl

believes In' prohibition, but we want a
man who believes In th policy and th
method of the political party,. Neither
Mr. .Mile .nor his friends hav said that
he la a prohibitionist in that sense, and
there ar many prohibitionist who believe
It wise to nominate a man who has been
a prohibitionist In th party sens of th
word in the past. . Though It is said that
General Miles ha signified that h wilt
accept the nomination If given him, when
the letter are . produced they show that
this Is only an Inference and that the gen

himself."
