There are more than 800 probate cases pending on the docket, many of them hav ing been there for several year and Judge Thornell yesterday took, the preliminary steps to have them cleaned off the calen dar.' It Is about eighteen year ago lnce a cleaning up of the probata calendar was made and since then there has bc?n a large sccuniulatlon of estates which have never been would up. A a starter Judge Thornell appeared be fore tho Board of Supervisors and asked that arrangements be made to secure some competent person to assist the clerk of the district court In doing this work. The board acquiesced In ' the request nnd the clerk of the court was authorised to secure such a person, whose compensation will be determined later by the 1oard. Regarding this matter H. V. Battey, clerk of the district court, said yesterday: "There are In court a large number of estates, variously estimated at from $300 to $000, In which the administrators have befn delinquent In the matter of closing or settling them up as required by law. Many administrators have neglected to file annual reports or reports of heirs, or Inventory, and many others have failed to make the accounting required by law. Many estates have been pending for from three to ten years, which should be closed up, final accounting made, and the ad ministrator discharged. . The -negligence lies with the administrators, who In every instance are under bond for the faithful performance of their duties. The result has been the accumulation of a large num ber of pending estate which Should be disposed of and which are a burden to the court and court officials. Judge Thornell ha decided to have an 'overhauling of the probate docket and calendar and to re quire negligent administrators to settle up the estates In their charge, and make final report and accounting This will entail a large amount of additional and unusual work upon the clerk', office and will. re quire the cmploymntff additional cleri cal help In that office until the work I completed. .The experts must be borne by the county." ;M " -, - 'i' ) fehoe Store for Sale.

The date of the Joint s republican caucus on United States senator has not been settled, and may go over tilt Mon day. Dull routine, broken only by occasional sallies of wit during the drawing of seats In the house, marked the second day's pro ceedings of the legislature. The senate adopted the report of the committee' on pro gram for the Inaugural and appointed a committee, consisting of McKlveen, Jami son and Lambert, to draft resolution In honor of the late Samuel L. Brlstow ot Charlton, one-time democratic lieutenant governor of Iowa and the only democratic lieutenant governor of the state. During the greater part of the forenoon the senate was In recess.

In the house, when the) drawing of seats began, It looked for a time a thou?h tt were an asylum for the deaf. McAllister of Linn moved that all persons with de fective hearing be given first choice of the seats In the front ' row. There was an amazing numbett of deaf persons, and they didn't confine their choice to the first row seats, but took the best In the house.
