Senter Will Have to Anawer Another Accusation. FURNISHED BOND FOR THE FIRST CHARGE i Provided and Arrest on a Fresh Wa Follows Immediately, L ing Him in Jail. | | Thomas R. Senter, brought here from | | Memphis, Mo., Monday night to apswer (o | the charge of having ih October, 1898, under | the name of James L. Palmer defrauded the real estate firm of Lougee & Lougee | of this city out of $645 on a bogus farm | mortgage, secured his 1iberty yesterday afternoon, but only for a very brief period. His attorneys, T. H. Wagner of Memphl Mo., and J. J. Stewart of this elty, suc- coeded in securing bail for him, but he had no sooner been released from the county jail when he was rearrested on the charge of uttering a forged instrument on a warrant issued from the court of Justice Vien. The information was filed by the firm of Lougee & Lougee. Justice Forrier fixed the bond in this case at $1,000 and in default of same Benter was recommitted o the county jail, where he spent last night. His attorneys expect to be able to gecure the necessary bail In the new case this morning. It is understood that no de fensa will be made at the preliminary hearing, but that Senter will waive exam- ination snd let his case go to the grand jury direct. The first move made by Senter's legal advisers yesterday was to go before Judge | Macy and apply for a reduction of the bond | fixed by the grand jury at the time the in- dictment was returned on the charge of obtaining money under false pretenses The bond had been fixed at $2,600, but on the showing made by the attorneys Judge Macy reduced it to $1,800. Charles R. Han- | nan of the First Natlonal bank signed the bond. In the meantimé, it having been learned that Senter was likely to secure a bond, Messrs. Lougee went before Justice | Ferrier and flled an information charging | ““James L. Palmer,” the alias Senter is a legod to have used here, with uttering a forged Instrument. A warrant was lssued for his arrest and placed in the hands of Deputy Sheriff Baker. When Senter's attorney deposited the bond with the clerk of the court an order for the man's release was made out and in a few minutes he was leaving the county jall in company with his two attorneys. He was immediately rearrested by Deputy Sherift Baker on the new charge. The at- torneys seemed surprised at the turn of affairs, but the main actor In the scene never moved a muscle of his face. He ap- peared as If he had anticipated some such move. Without saying a word he drew his from his vest pocket and leisurely fitting them to his eyes, scanned | the warrant. He said not a word and, | having read the paper through, replaced his glaeses In his pocket and looked in- quiringly at his legal advisers. “Well, let us go and get this fixed up at once,” sald Attorney Stewart, und the party moved down street to Justice Ferrier's office. Here the information was read to Sen- | ter. He denfed that his name was Palmer; | that he had ever been in the city before or | was fmplicated in the alleged fraud in any manner whatever. “I was at home on my farm near Memphis when this Is sald to have occurred,” he said. His ball, pending | the preliminary hearing, was fixed at $1,000 and after a brief conference It was decided to make no attempt to secure a bond until today and Senter was taken back to the county fail, which he had left but a few minutes before. Senter's defense is an alibi and he aims that it is a case of mistaken iden tity. In this he is supported by H { Wagner, his attorney from Missouri, who asserts that on the day that Senter Is al- leged to have been in Council Bluffs he was {0 his office in Memphis, Mo., where he acknowledged certaln papers. Senter also insiste that he has not been away from his home at any time within the last two years. On the other hand, it s said the authorities have positive evidence to show that he has been away from his home several times In the course of the last two vears and on the dates he is alleged to have been in the city. Both F. C. and E. H. Lougee, who ad- vanced the money on the forged decd, are satisfied that Senter is the man who, un- der the name of James L. Palmer, de- trauded them. They are both willing to swear to Ms identity. W. M. Shepard, who in 1898 was county recorder, has iden- | tified Senter as the man giving the name | of James L. Palmer, who got him to draw up the deed to the 120 acres in James | township, which Palmer was supposed to send away to Theodore Cowitz In Oklahoma for his acknowledgment. This was on Oc- tober 11 and it was three days later that Palmer secured the money from Lougee & Lougee. So satisfled were Lougee & Lou- gee that everything was right that If Palmer had asked to borrow twice the amount he did they would have advanced it. Commonwealth 10-cent cigar.

CITY MILLS TO BE STARTED UP. Plant Leased Strong Firm and Operations to Commence at Once. The Clty Roller mills at the corner of | Washington aveuus and Bryant street, which have been idle since Colonel Hoft- mayr went out of business, have been | leased for a term of years to the Red Cross Milling company, which will resume the operation of the plant within the near fu- ture. The articles of incorporation of the Red Cross Milling company, with Ell H. Doud, Frank Sheratt and P. A. C. Stevens, were filed with the county recorder yesterday. The capital stock is placed at $10,000. The men comprising the company are interested in the Doud-Rogers Milling company of Boone, Ta., and in several mills in Ne- braska.

With refer ence to the bills receivable which are listed at $216,604 an part of the assets, the opinion 18 expressed by many of the creditors that the recelvers stould make a sup- plementary report, showing which of t bills are secured and which are not. When Officer & Pusey made their sworn statement to the assessor at tho begin- year they listed among the assets of the firm government bonds to the mourt of $20,000. These bonds do mot appear in the report filed by the receiv ers It was stated last evening that one of the largest creditors of the firm would apply to Judge Macy for an order requir- ing the recelvers to make a supplemental report showing which of the bills recefv- able are considered good and which are not.

THIS YE\R FOR MKINLEY Former Democrat nd Prominent Iowa Judge Leaves the Ranks of Bryanism, LEMARS, Ia, Oct, 28.—(Special )—Judge F. R. Gaynor of this city, who has twice been elected judge In the Fourth judiclal district on the democratic ticket and who was endorsed by both parties two years ago on A nonpartisan judicial ticket and is now serving his third term on the bench, has declared himself opposed to Bryanism Judge Gaynor also joined the McKinley and Roosevelt club of this city. His action has created a stir, as he is well known and highly respected in a number of counties where he presides over court, In an interview Judge Gaynor, although somewhat reluctant, gave the following concise reasons for his change of mind Heo said: “I have not been in full sympathy with the democratic party since 1396. 1 have never belleved in the financial pollcy of that party as expressed in the Chicago platform. “The unlimited free colnage of silver at the ratio of 16 to 1, without regard to the commercial ratio, seems and has always seemed to me ridiculous. But since the Chicago platform was adopted new Issues have come up for the consideration of our people and it seems to me that on those issues the republican party is more in touch with progressive thought and ad- vanced civilization, “It there is to be any criticism of tha administration in this field it s prema- ture now. We have acquired these islands and we ought to glve them good govern- ment and I thiok that is what McKinley 1s honestly trying to do. He s and al- ways has been more conservative then the people and no one who has watched his offcial actions can doubt bis integrity or his sincere desire to do what {s right. “The position of the democratic party on the money question has been answered by the conclusive logic of events during the last four years. All we want is what is for the best and every man ought to be willing to give up what he deems to be the good truth of today for the better truth of tomorrow. “Laying aside all party bitterness that do sells feeling and all and always will come out af political contssts and looking at the questions before the people from n to award her the custody of their only child, a 9-year-old daughter. The suit of E. W. Nash against the Union Land Improvement company occupled all of yesterday in the district court and will mot business and practical standpoint, it seems to me that the best Interest of the people and the future stabllity of the goveras- ment demand that McKinley be retalmed in his present position.™ DAILY FROM BEE DAY, IOWA. (PUT WIRES UNDERGROUND Various Des Moines Oompanies Are at Work Turying Their Lines. ELECTRIC PLANT COMBINE SOLVES PROBLEM lowa Supreme ( clal Assessment Agninst R Along Right-of-Way. DES MOINES, Oct. 23.—(Special Tele- gram.)—The work of putting under ground all the wires iu the business portion of the city actually commenced this morning, when a gang of laborers begun digging the trenches for the conduits. Developments of tho last two days have solved the once perplexing question of how to compel the | placing of all light and telephone wires in underground condults the Capital City Electric Light plant by the Edison Electric company means that the former's wires will be placed in condults along with those of the latter. . The Mutual Telophone company has voluntarily asked permission of the council to go under- ground and it is an open secret that the Towa Telephone company will jump at the opportunity it the council will only grant it a franchise. remaining then will be the trolley wires of the street railway, aud with the others out of the way, will have been reduced to a minimum. The conduits are large earthenware affairs con- taining thirty-six holes three inches diameter und through these the cables con- taining the smaller wires will be drawn. The district to be equipped with conduits first is elght blocks long and four wide and the system will cost several hundred thou- sand dollars. Including improvements to its plant, the Edison company will spend $360,000 here in the mext twelve months. The supreme court this morning held that special assessments cannot be levied agalnst rallrond companies for improve- ments along thelr right-of-way. The de- clalon was In relation to property of the Rock Island road at Ottumwa. The re- versal of the case ls considered more vital to rallroad interests than any decision which hes been handed down for several terms. The question of law involved 18 an Intricate one and the court s not a unit flled a dissenting opimion, in which they hold it is unjust that original owners of the property should be taxed for improve- meuts along the railroad’s right-of-way and by which the rallroad company is in disputably benefited. The supreme court holds after reviewing the case at length that & right-of-way aecquired by condemna land subject to assessment. It is the owner of the lots or lands adjacent to the street ‘who is subject to the tax and not the owner of w mere leasment over the property. A railway by condemnation proceedings does not acquire ownership of the land itself Moreover, rallways would not be benefited by paving and curbing. A distinction is made between taxation and the power to levy speclal assessments. The day's de- clsons follow: Btate against Alice Willlams, Bcott dis- trict; affirmed. Willlam Hintrager against R.

Diving into the old records of one of the most charming cities of our common wealth, Northampton, Mass., saya the Springfleld Republican, we find much of deep Interest as revealing customs and habits of elden time. No fire was found in “the meeting house” in olden time and comparatively recently foot toves were | carried to church, as were tallow candles to the evening meetings. In 1737 the im- portant vital question as a legal town | meeting was, “Shall men and their wives be seated together In pews?" and the vote was an emphatic “No!” In 1774, about the beglnning of Jonathan Edwards’ trouble in the parish, It was voted mot “to pay the charge of bringing bis daughter from Brookfleld” In 1738 | this appears on the town records: ‘“Taking | into consideration the dificulty Mr. Kd- wards hath labored under this year and some time past with respect to his fire- wood, the town voted that those persons who have not this year brought him a load of wood might have liberty between this time and next Tuesday night to bring each one his load of wood.” If there was mot sufficiency of wood by that time, the town then veted, the selectmen shall see that he deficlency should be met at the cost of the town. Later, in 1789, we find in the warrant for |town meeting this entry: “To procure | firewood for the Rev. Mr. Willlams; to ehoose & committee to seat the meeting house.” A most serious business to de- clde, who should take preference in the Fa | membered by the writer, caused no trouble 1d officer, as that was readily wc- cepted by the “‘colored brethren,” like cows in the wtable, who went dutifully to their parate stalls. Not oniy the living had special rules governing their conduct, but the rules out the dead were very quaint, this report of a committee, May 11, to whem had been referred the conduct of tunerals, as follows: “Whereas, It Is the opinion of this town that funerals ought to be conducted with great decency and decorum fn order to impress on rising and risen generations the importance of the awful solemnity, and to render the house of mourning better | | than the house of feasting; be It there- | fore recommended to all the inhabitauts of this own to observe the following reg ulations at funerals: “First—That the relatives of ‘the de- ceased follow mext to the corpse, two and two, “Becond—It the deceased was a male per- son the males are to follow next the mourners, two and two, and the women atter them, two and two; but if the de- ceased was & woman, then the women are to follow mext the mourners and the men after them. “Third—Those on horseback are to fol- {1ow 1n after the foot folks, horses two and two, and the carriages are to follow in the vear of the procession.
