FIXING CREDITORS’ RIGHTS Court Asked to Say Who Shall Re- ceilve Money from Officer Estate, nd wife, John The district court has been asked to de- termine whether the creditors of the OM- cer & Pusey bank, who falled to file their clalms against the estate of Thomas Officer within the six months, shall share in the distribution of the assets of that estate the same as those creditors who took the precaution to file their clalms within the atutory time. Some months ago, before the appointment of J. J. Stewart as admin- istrator of the Thomas Officer estate, Judge Macy made an order to the effect that all creditors of the bank who had flled thelr claims with the receivers within the pre- scribed time should be considered creditors of the fourth class of the Officer estate, Yesterday Lars Jensen and other creditors of the ba whose claims aggregate up- ward of $23,000, filed a petition asking that their clalms against the Officer estate be advanced from the fourth to the third class and they be permitted to participate in the 5 per cent which Administrator Stewart is now paying out of the assets of that estate. The request is resisted by Administrator Stewart, who denles the right of the fourth- class creditors to share alike with those of the third class. He contends that the question of the liability of the Officer es- tate for the payment of the claims of the petitioners has never been submitted to the court and the order made by Judge Macy referred solely to the bank recelver- ship and not to the administration of the OfMcer estate. In other words, Mr. Stewart denles the right of those creditors who failed to file their claims against the OM- cer estate within the six months to particl- pate in the assets until the claims of those creditors who did flle their claims within the statutory limit have been satisfied. The sult is a friendly one and has been brought In order to have the court rule on the matter before Admiuistrator Stewart makes any further payments on the divi- dend authorized out of the funds of the Thomas Officer estate now in his hands. Shortly after the appolntment of L. F. Murphy and John Beresheim as receivers of the Officer & Pusey bank, creditors of the institution were given authority by the court to employ an expert accountant to examine the books and accounts of the defunct bank. C. E. Walters employed in this capacity by the creditors and yes- terday application was made tbat the re- celvers be authorized to pay Mr. Walters' bill, amounting to $288. Keep clean. Use Puck's Mechanic's soap. Claim Damages for Arrest. A. B. and W. J. Christiansen, who were arrested May 20 by the police and charged with being implicated In the burglary at the tatlor shop of Carl Herr, filed original Botice of suit in the district court yester- day against Herr, claiming $5,000 damages each. In the notices it Is alleged that their arrest was due to Herr filing an in- formation in the superior court charging them with the robbery. The police were unable to bring any evide connecting the two men with the burglary and the were accordingly discharged. W. J. Chr tiansen also seeks to recover $12 from Herr for the alleged unlawful conversion of a pair of trousers Congressional Committee L. 8. Robinson of Glenwood, chairman of the republican congressional committee of the Ninth district, has issued a call for a meeting of the committee in this city, Wednesday, June 18, to fix the time for holding the congressional convention, Davis sclls glass, Puck’s Domestic soap 1s best.

Dies from IOWA FALLS, Ia., June As a result of a quarrel in Grant township, Franklin county, several miles northeast of this city, Bine Wilder has been bound over to the grand jury under $1,500 bonde, which he furnished. The storles in regard | to the affray are conflicting, but from what can be learned it appears that Edgar Dol- son and Fred Dovey were returning homoe at night and interrupted a party being held at the Wilder place. The visitors were in- vited to drink some beer and the confer- ence terminated in Wilder ordering the visitors off the place. It is reported that his commands were not acceded to as quickly as Wilder thought they should and a shotgun was brought into play, the vis- itors being shot in the legs. Dolson re celved the bulk of the charge, resulting in the amputation of his leg. Blood poison followed, resulting in Dolson’s death Tues- day. At a preliminary hearing Wilder was bound over to the grand jury. Gunshot Wound. —(Special.)— Rain Does Much Damage. MISSOURI VALLEY clal.)—One of the heaviest rains in years fell In Harrison county yesterday after- noon. Reports from various polnts in the county indicate that the crops have been serlously damaged.

BIDS ON PUBLIC BUILDING TOO HIGH Arrest of Two Men at Elkader May Lead to Clearing up the Mystery of the Crofton Murde: Near Ireton. (From a Staft Correspondent.) DES MOINES, June 13.—(Speclal.)—In- formation regarding two railroad exten- sions was made public here today. It is learned that the franchise for an electric interurban line from Des Moines to Colfax, socured by representatives of Cleveland capitalists, is about to pass into the con- trol of the Iowa Central railroad and that the Iowa Central will build a line from Newton to Colfax and on into Des Molnes. This is what has been expected in some quarters, but not until today did it become known for certain that this was the plan of the Towa Central. This would bring another railroad into Des Molnes from tho cast, It is also stated that engineers of the Des Moines & Iowa Falls line, now being constructed from a junction with the Illi- nois Central at Iowa Falls to Des Moines, have been sent out along the route from Des Moines to Winterset and Greenfield with a view to taking possession of that territory for the new lowa Falls road. It is generally understood that tbe Illinois Central will operate this road when it is ready for business. The other railroad companies making efforts to build through Winterset to Greenfleld have thus far ac- complished little and it is believed the lowa Falls road will get into that terrl- tory, perhaps, with a view to further ex- tensions. Announcement is made that the Burling- ton & Western railway, owned by the Chi- cago, Burlington & Quiney, will be changed June 15 into a standard gauge line and that a new line will be built from Oskaloosa to connect with the Albia road at Tracey. This will give the Burlington two direct roads into Des Moines. Bids Were All Too High. Dr. F. M. Powell, superintendent of the Home for Feeble-Minded at Glenwood, was in the city today conferring with the State Board of Control regarding contracts which are to be let for improvements at the Glenwood institution. The board has an appropriation of $10,000 to expend in work will be undertaken as soon as the water gets low enough. Seining permits have been granted to Colonel Page and Ed | Chapman of Waterloo to seine the waters | of this county for fish not listed as game. They will be accompanied on the trips by a deputy and are sworn to obey the law. Comments of Iown Press.

While out in the fleld he was struck by a $-caliber rifle ball, inflicting a serlous wound in the left side It is not known who fired the shat, but it is supposed to have been some hunters at some distance too far to see the effect of the shot. The wound {s serfous, but 1t is not thought that it will be fatal. Deputy State Veterinarian W, L. Evers has gone to Wright and Franklin counties to Investigate cases of rables reported from that part of the state to the state veterin- arian. The points at which these cases are supposed to exist are in the vielnity of Dows, in Wright county, and Alexander. in Franklin county, and'are supposed to have spread from the first cases reported near Hampton and in the south part of Franklin county. Thus far no fatalities have resulted, but much excitement pre- valls in various communities in that part of the state. A law sult out of the ordinary started in Justice Le Harron's court at Shenandoah. It is that of Attorney G. H.

The telegraph company falled to deliver the message in time to prevent the trip, hence the sult.

Hipwell of Davenport and several Council Bluffs and Omaha contractors, were present when the bids were opened, and an effort was made this afternoon to secure a revision of figures. It was thought possible that | the specifications of the board might be scaled down somewhat to make it possible for the contractors to get within the ap- | propriation. Teating Bankruptey Law, Sult was begun before a referee today in a bankruptey case which is of great im- portance to a,pumber of creditors. East- ern houses commenced suit some time ago to have Frank L. Morgan, a Jjobber in jewelry, declared a bankrupt, so that there could be a prorating of the assets among the creditors. This was resisted and efforts made to have a settlement outside of court: An agreement was reached to try the case before Judge McPherson, be- ginning today, and he came here and opened federal court for that purpose, but afterward the case was placed in the hands of a referee. Morgan gave a local bank a mortgage for $18,000 and the bank claims that this mortgage should take his prop- erty. New Corporations.

Funer May Clear Up a Crime. News has been received here which indi- cate a possible clearing up of the myste- rious killing of Samuel Crofton near Ireton last August. At Elkader a negro and white man, traveling together, have been arrested and an effort is making to sweat from them information where they were when the Sloux county crime was committed. Wit- nesses will go to identify them if possible. Crofton was an aged, blind, colored preacher, who carried much wealth on his person. He was found dead in a cornfield west of Ireton, probably a month after he had been killed by a blow on the head. Willlam Reynolds was arrested and his trial caused wide difference of opinion, end- Ing in acquittal. Reynolds on the stand sald be had turned Crofton over to the care of a negro and white man who were traveling together and camping as they traveled. Other witnesses confirmed this by saying they had seen the negro and white man in that neighborhood at the same time. This testimony was thought to bave caused Reynolds' acquittal. It is sad the men arrested at Elkader answer, generally, the description of the ones wanted. Examination of Guardsmen, An examining board has been appointed to conduct an examination of guardsmen for commissions on Thursday, June 19.

There will be about fifteen candidates ex- amined on June 19, including the offcers of the new Jowa signal corps located in this eity. Sent to Nebrask Humane Officer Crawford sent Vignette Allen, recently convicted of vagrancy, back to her former home in Nebraska City. This woman is one of color and has for the last six months been a habitual visitor at the police court, first on ome charge, then on another, the severity of them ranging from intoxication to robbery. Her little son, & boy of 6 years, was found in a resort on the South Side and was sent to his grand- mother in Kansas City. It was learned by the humane officer that the boy had been obliged to associate with the lowest set in this notorious district and that he was sent at all times of the day and night on er- rands for the inmates of these houees. J W. Ayers, an old soldier visiting in city at the time of the Grand Army campment, claimed that he had been robbed by this woman at her resort on the E Side. After G. 1t is probable that the next encampment of the Grand Army of the Republic of lowa will be held in Oskaloosa.

ORDERS FAITHFULLY OBEYED Says When Was er He Left Howling Wilderness, SAN FRANCISCO, June 13.—Major Wal- ler, U. 8 C., by far the most inters esting personage to reach here on the trans- port Warren, on which was brought the war-scarred remnant of the Ninth infantry into port, expressed emphatic views in the matter of the war in the Philippines. “You can't stop the revolution in the Philippines unless you take the worst measures,” sald Major Waller in an inter view. “You would hate to see your wounded and dead mutilated. I cannot de- scribe the fearful condition in which we found some of the bodies of the men under my command who were murdered by insur- rectos. “I recelved both verbal and written orders from General Jacob Smith to kill all insurrectos who were caught armed or who refused to surrender. It was the only thing that could be done, and I never questioned General Smith's orders with one exception. This exception 1 refuse to state. “A falr estimate of the number of na- tives killed by the men of my would be 400 to 500. These were all killed in battle with the exception of eleven car- riers, lnsurrectos al heart, who were tried by court-martial and shot. one woman shot and she was only slightly wounded. She happened to be in the breast- works of a fort my men were storming. “I have fought in every country in the world except Australia,” sald Major Waller, “but Samar—well, hell is a winter resort compared to Samar.” The major spoke huskily through a deep cold that he contracted during the home voyage on the transport, but he was ob- viously sincere. His dark eves snapped and his nostrils twitched at the mention of the island that General Jacob H. Smith had ordered him to convert into a howling wilderness. “I left Samar a howling wilderness. They tried to make it that for us, but we made it a howling wilderness for them.” Want any more of it?" was asked. o, I'm getting to be an old man now.” His Zace relaxed. “I'm in my 50s. ' Besides, they've surrendered, and it's all over. It's always all over when they surrender in the Philippines,” and a sarcastic smile curved under his military moustache. “Have you anything to say, major, re- garding your court-martial on the charge of executing Samar natives without trial? Or was that the charge?” murder. Yes, one plain word, murder. And as for having anything to say about the court-martial, of course I have. I ob- Jected to being court-martialed; it was not done at my pleasure. I was not consulted in the matter; I was simply court- martialed. “I know who caused that court-martial; I know who brought it forward; 1 know who was back of it all, and Washington knows as much USE OF BORAX NOT ILLEGAL Supreme Court of Minnesota Decides in Favor of Ment Preservative.

The king took occasion to express his sentiments on the subject more fully than heretofore, and the tactful recognition which he made of the sterling qualities of the Boers will doubtless materially ald in the work of appeasement in South Africa. His majesty, surrounded by the house- bold, received the city dignitaries in the throne room and, replying to the lord mayor's address, he said: I thank you in my own name and in the queen's for your loyal and dutiful address and the congratulation you tender us at the close of the war in South Africa. I heartily joln in your expression of thank- fulness to the Almighty God for the ter- mination of the struggle which, while it} entalled on my people at home and beyond | the sea so many sacrifices, borne with admirable fortitude, has secured a result which will give secired unity and strength to my empire. The cordial and spontaneous exertlons in all parts of my dominions, as well as in your anclent and loyal city, have done much to bring about this happy re- sult. You give fitting expression to the ad- miration universally felt for the valor and endurance of the officers and men who have been ergaged In fighting their coun- try's battles, Hoers m Brave People. They haye been opposed by a brave and | determined people and had to encounter unexampled difficulties. These difficulties were cheertully overcome by steady and persistent effort and those who were our opponents will now, 1 rejolce to think, be- come our friends. ‘It is my earnest hope that by mutual co-operation and good will the bitter feelings of the past may speedily be replaced by tles of loyalty and friend- ship and that an era of peace and pros- perity may be in store for South Africa. Subsequently, in response to the address of the London County Council, the king spoke as follows 1 thank you for your expressions of 10y- alty toward myselt and the queen. I re- joice with you at the thought that the victory whicht has crowned the persever- | ance and bravery of my forces will pave the way of extensions to the reglons newly added (0 my empire, of that system of gov- ernment which, with God's blessing, will bring to South’ Africa the prosperity’ that has {n every quarter of the globe followed its establishment. The readiness with which my subjects throughout the empire have borne their part in the arduous cam- ign now happily at an end cannot fail to draw them still more closely together in_bonds of lovaity and affection, and I confidently believe that the good' feeling which is being displayed by those who were so recently our opponents augurs well for the future of that vast country which has been added to the dominions of the crown, The civic dignitaries proceeded to and from (e palace in gllded coaches, attired in their full state costumes ROCK ISLAND IN NO HURRY Will Dispose of the Wiggins Ferry Controversy After Other Mat- ters Are Settled.
