He did not entirely recover and has been partially crippled and in poor health since. Two weeks ago he went to board at Mrs. Creedon's house. Having lost his position in the raliroaa office, Miller commenced to canvass for a subscription book, but did not make a financial success of it.

Suiting the action to the word, he drew a revolver from his pocket and was In the act of placing It to his head when Mrs. Creedon succeeded In knocking it out of his hand, while one of the other women picked it up and ren into the next room with it. When taken to the city jall & book was found on Miller, on the wrapper of which was written: “A misspent life ended. Bury me with the paupers or give my body to Dr. Barstow to dispose of. E. W.

The board discov- ered that it had made an error in the can vass and had counted one of Bell's Vot for Huber. The counting of the ballots cast in the Second precinct was completed late Satur- day afternoon, but the board had not reached any conclusion regarding the eo: tested ballots. For Bell, 137 stralght and 121 scratched ballots were not questioned, while for Huber, 132 straight and sixty~ four scratched ballots were passed without contest. In all forty-one ballots were con- tested, twenty-seven of which had been counted for Huber and fourteen for Bell. Most of the ballots were contested on the grounds of having identification marks on them. It was stated that the contest had practically simmered down to four bal- lote and it was sald that if these are thrown out the board may have to recount the ballots in the First precinct, it being claimed that some of the ballots bore sim- flar marks to these four disputed one: The board will meet at 8:30 Monday morning. \ N.

He sald he did not know why he applied for a position as a laborer instead of seeking some other occupation more sultable to his station In )ife. With the hard work of carrying lumber and supplies to the car bullders, the out- door life and freedom from mental strain, McNamara's condition improved. He grew strong and gained almost fifteen pounds In weight. His memory came back and a week ago he was In condition to realize everything that had taken place. When asked why he did not notify his parents Immediately, he sald he w In doubt as to the best means of doing so.

CLINTON, Ia, May 4.—(Special.)—Fire burning n the old Clinton Lumber company flats for the last four weeks has presemted a most serfous and difficult problem for the fire department of this city. The ground is bullt up largely of sawdust and strips. A spark from an engine started a fire in the flats about a month ago, and has been burning constantly ever since, notwithstand- ing the fact that the fire department hai had from two to six streams of water flow- ing on the ground for three weeks. There are a number of factories near and when the wind blows from the east all of these are in danger of destruction. The fire de- partment {s constantly on the watch and some days is called to the fre several times. The fire has eaten its way to a depth of twelve feet in some places.

TONTINE COMPANIES FIGHT NEW LAW Two Members of Police Force Detected Extorting Money from Young Woman Compelled to Disgorge and Are Then Dismissed. (Fromn a Staff Correspondent.) DES MOINES, May 4.—(8pecial.)—Secre- tary Greene of the Iowa State Hortlcul- tural soclety has just made up an esti- mate on the condition of the fruit crop in Towa from reports received from his correspondents in all parts of the state, the observations being taken May 1. The report shows that the crop conditions are not as favorable now as appeared to be the case a month ago. The following are the average percentages for the state on the various fruits: Apples, 87 per cent; plums, cherries, 86; pears, 83; peaches, buds kille: red raspberries, 41; black raspber- rles, 51; blackberries, 40; grapes, 43; straw- berries, 62. The season is not yet far enough advanced to determine exactly the condition of the small fruit and it may be better than estimated by the members of the horticultural society. Extortion by the Pollce. Two city police officers were today di charged by Mayor Brenton for alleged ai tempt at extortion of money from a woman. A young woman was registered at the Goldstone hotel from an out-of-town place and two officers, Carter and Pin- niger, looked over the hotel register and found the woman was there. They had no knowledge whatever of the woman, but went to her room, demanded admittance and told her they were golng to arrest her, 8he gave good references and sald she ha Just ecome to the city to seek employment. They said they would not molest her if she could put up money to pay her fine. She had $4 which, in her fright, she turned over to them. As soon as they had gone she told her story to the landlady whe informed the chief of police and am in- vestigation followed. The officers were made to confront the woman, confes that her story was true and to turn over the money. Their dismissal from the force immediately followed. They had been on | the force only a few weeks under the new | administration. Hospital Roof Repaired. The State Board of Control has had the |roof of the State hospital at Cherokee re- | palred after the windstorm of last week. It is not yet determined how much of the work of laying the tile on the roof will have to be done over again, but it is prob- able much of it will be. The big botlers for the hospital have just been shipped to Cherokee and will be placed soon. They should have been placed weveral weeks ago. The board is having an analysis of the water of the deep well made, and thus far the indications are that the water s not very good, as it contains a vast amount of mineral substance. ‘Will Oppose the Law, The persons engaged in the tontine busi- ness in the sale of land and diamonds will fight the new Iowa law which requires that this business shall be regulated as. build- ing and loan assoclations are. Attorneys today secured briefs that were filed be- fore the governor and are preparing to re- sist the application of the law. There 18 ope incorporated company doing this busi- ness in Des Moines and an effort was made last week to incorporate another under the general incorporation laws of the state, but the papers were thrown out. Most of the outside business done fs by persons who have mot incorporated. but are doing bueiness as firms or partnerships. The act was published this morning and is there- fore a law and the fight will probably come on in the courts at once to test its validity. Soon to Organize, Hon. P. L. Prentes of Ringgold county, the Eighth district member of the Iowa commission on the Louisiana Purchase ex- position, was in Des Moines today con- sulting in regard to the preliminaries for the Iowa exhibit. It is probable that the commission will meet and organize at once and begin some of the work which must be done; but the fact that the exposition Is to be postponed makes it possible for the commission to anticipate an additional appropriation from the next legislature. Do Not Want the Inebriates. Each one of the superintendents of Towa hospitals is anxious that the proposed de- partment for the treatment of dipspmaniacs, inebriates, morphine victims, el c., shall be located in some other hospital of the state than the one he superintends. Each one feels that it will be an undesirable department, as the expense will be greater than in the case of insane patients and the pay no greater, and the inebriates will be harder to care for and “cure” than the insane people. The law was passed pro- viding for this department at the instance of the State Anti-Saloon League of Iowa and the ward or department will soon be established. There is rejolciag here over the news from Washington that the auditing depart- ment of the treasury has allowed the Iows war claims to an amount in excess of $415,000. It was feally not expected by ate officals that more than $150,000 would be secured on ths clam and the decslon is & surprise. Hallroads Change Time.

Con- rad” a number of dramas, several of which had vogue in Berlin. Through a distant cousin of Emperor Willlam and formerly & cavalry ‘general, the prince kept aloof from court and military circles and asso- clated chiefly with literary men and ar- tists. He was fond of wandering around antiquary shops, deciphering inscriptions with a microscope, which he was never without. He has never taken part in pol- itics. His srandfather while prince of Prussia, was elected to the diet from Wir- #itz, but he refused to sit. A general meet- ing of members of Lubeck has been called for May 7, to decide whether to officially offer Prince Henry the candidacy. HIGHLAND PARK LAID LOW Manages to Secure One Run While Nebraska is Accumulating Six. DES MOINES, Ia., May 4.—(Special Tele- gram.)—Nebraska, §; Highland Park, 1. It was a great game of ball and Nebraska excelled_at every point. Thompson and Smith, the much-heralded battery for High- land Park, were batted for ten safe hits. The one run credited to the home team was earned in the elghth on a safe hit and a long drive to centerfleld. Nebraska bunched its hits in the fifth act and tallled five and the game. Letherby came up first and hit honestly for one bag, Cortelyou duplicated, Hood fanned for the first time. Captain Beil smashed the sphere for first base, Dusty 1ollowed, Gaines flew out to center, leaving Bell on third and Rhodes at second. Here Zoby Townsend picked out a promising bat and knocked the white thin over the fence. This gave him second an scored the other two. Townsend stole third and on Deputron's safe, cantered home. In the second Nebraska earned a run which totalled the six. From a epectator's point of vlew the play was interesting and smart. Double plays and snappy all-round work won for Ne- braska the support of a great portion of the stand. The game became rather dramatic when {n the third inning Doane, catcher, hurt his finger and was forced to retire. Bender had m| the morning train out of Lin- coln. Captain Bell's men, so far unscored upon, were fearful. Dusty Rhodes rumbled in from short, though, and placed the bars before his face, plunging his left hand deep in the mit. Townsend left second for shor! Bell played second. Deputron left, Leth- erby center. Thus It was the Nebraskans for three innings shut out the famous Thompson and his men. Then unexpectedly Bender's head popped in at the ticket office and he was cheered to a standstill, rolled up his_citizen's suit and waded info the game. Bobby Gaines {ossed the ball to perfection, keeping his head at every point of the ame.
