RESULT OF LONG PUBLIC AGITATION Northwestern Will Bear Bulk of Pro- posed Iner with Burlington Coming in for Next Great- est Share, Des Motnes special to Chicago Record- Herald: Aesessment of lowa rallroad prop- erty for taxation was discussed by the state executive council today for the first time thls year. It was decided to devote the next thirty days to a careful and ex- haustive etudy of the subject.. Adjourn- ment was taken, with the understanding that the meeting §s to be resumed from time to time for discussion of the aesess- ment. Under the new law a conclusion must be reached and the assessment as determined certified to the county audi- tors of the state not later than the first Monday in Auguet. An effort will be made to fix the assess- ment befora the republican state conven- tion in held, July 30. Republican managers belleve that it will look better than to hold the convention first and make the assess- ment afterward. The assessing board is composed of Governor A. B. Cummins, Sec- retary W. B. Martin, Treasurer G. 8. Gil- bertson and Auditor F. F. Merriam. It fs conceded on all sldes among the rallroad managers as well as political man- agers, that there will be an increase in the assessment this year. The present assess- ment s $47,071,258, which, under the lowa Iaw, is one-fourth of the actual value; so that the property of the railroads in Towa 1s valued for purposes of taxation at $188,- 8,032. This assessment was made in March, 1901. The assessment of all prop- erty In the state, Including rallroads, made last year, was 462,618, representing a total value of $2,23: 472, Repeat the Nebraska Plea The raflroads protest agalnet paying ad- ditional taxes. They insist that they are doing their full share when they pay one- thirteenth of all the taxes—state, local, school, ets.—collected {n Towa. In 1901 they pald $1,609,370 of the total taxes collected, amounting to $19,726,789. It was on this basls that the railroads successfully cam- paigned the last legislature and prevented the passage of laws which would have re- quired the council to increase their as sessment 50 per cent. The managers are concerned chiefly as to the amount af the proposed increase. Ru- mors have floated about political circles that Governor Cummins has determined to stand for an increase of $15,000,000, or about 30 per cent, in the assessment of rallroads of the state. While this rumor is known to, have no foundation so far as such an ‘opinfon or view having emanated from the governor is concerncd the railroads are uncertain as to his position and fear that he will urge & larger Increase than they regard as just or essential. Undoubtedly the rallroads would not ob- fect to an Increase of $2,500,000 or $3,000,000 This they have reason to expect, and with such a proposition they have no quarrel, viewing the remarkably prosperous year they have had. Moreover, their principal objection to an increase in a larger sum is not so much to the additional taxes they would have to pay on the immediate as- sessment, but in times of panic they can- not expect a corresponding reduesion, for no politically created executfve council would have the courage to reduce the tax- ation of the rallroad corporations of the state, however hard the times. Rallroad taxation agitation has been car ried on in Iowa for several years. It started In March, 1898,, when. Treasuser, of.,State John Herriott protested in the executive councll against the distribution of the as- sessment among the rallroads, insisting that the Chicago & Northwestern was fa- vored. Nothing was heard of this protest until the next year, when It was repeated. That year Mr. Herrlott proved that he was objecting to the distribution of the assess- ment and not to its: amount by Himselt moving to make it practically the sum of the year before. In March, 1900, he again protested, and at this time went Into the newspapers of the state charging Governor Leslie M. Shaw, Secre- tary of State G. L, Dobson and Auditer of State F. F. Merrfam with grossly favoring the Northwestern railroad at the expense of the Chicago, Rock Island & Pacific and other roads. Sentiment of Iowa Republicans. The question entered into the campaign of that year to some extent. A declded current in the republican party was toward a higher and more equitable rallroad as- sessment. In part this feeling was re- sponsible for-the nomination of Secretary Martin and Treasurer Gilbertson, but on the same ticket with them was Auditor Merriam and the convention endorsed the adminlstration of Governor Shaw. Mr. Herrlott and Mr. Dobson went out of office the first of the year 1901 and Messrs. Glibertson and Martin took their places at the council table. By unanimous vote that year the council decided to increase the essment slightly more than $1,000,000, although an increase of $6,000,000 was first suggested by Secretary Martin and after- ward withdrawn. Of the increase, however, over 40 per cent was on the Northwestern. This was on account of the enormous earnings shown by its main line. They are almost twice as large as the earnings of any other trunk line in lowa, except the Burlington. The agitation continued and assumed .a bitter form during the campaign preceding the republican convention of 1901. A large number of county conventions denounced the executive council for its railroad as- sessment and demanded increases and more equitable distribution. There is no dispute over the fact that the movement was in the interest of the candidacy of Mr. Cummins, who was successful. But the platform adopted by the convention which nominated him was silent on the question One of Cummins’ Laws. During the succeeding campalgn Mv. Cummins expressed himself on the ques- tion, insisting that the people should not elect him governor unless they had faitn in his integrity to do that which he re- garded for the public interest when he had considered the subject. In his inaugural address he referred again to the question and suggested three or four methods of certaining the value of rafiroad property, omlitting all mention of the stock and bond theory of determining railroad values. Another law was passed on suggestion of Governor Cummins glving the executive council the right to require certain infor- mation as to the business done by the rafl- roads and to prescribe rules and regula- tions under which their reports are to be made. The Dew reports are now coming in and the council is preparing to study them with a view to reaching an assess- ment the latter part of July. Naturally the people are watching with much inter- est and eomcern the declsion of the new couneil.

AGREE TO THE SPOONER BILL of Republican Senators to Be Called to Consider Cubap Matter. 11,000 &8 0. 0 Conference WASHINGTON, June 17.—The republican members of the senate committee on Cuban relations today finally agreed to accept the Spooner bill, providing for reciprocity with Cuba, and decided to ask that a conference of republican senators be called for to- morrow night to consider its terms. This conclusion was reached at a meet- ing of the republican members of the com- mittee today. After the meeting adjourned the text of the bill was made public. It is a substitute for the house bill and is as follows: When the republic of Cuba shall have enacted a law or laws establishing prefer- entlal rates of stoms du! n any or all articl the growth, production or manu- facture of the United States, imported into Cuba, which prefere rates shall, in the opinion of the president of the United Btates, constitute a_satisfactory equivalent for the reduction hereinafter provided in the rate of customs dutles upon articles the growth, production or manu! of Cuba imported into the United 8 he shall ®o declare by proclamation, thereupon and thereafter, so long as ch preferential dutles shall be continued by the grovernment_of Cuba, not longer, how- ever, than five years, the duties levied, paid and collected upon such articles so exported from Cuba to the United States shall be 80 per centum of the duties spe- cified in the ‘act entitled ~An act to pro- vide revenue for the government and to encou the industries of the United States,” approved July 24, 1897, and any amendment thereof.

There 1s no doubt that coffee secretly and quietly causes an immense amount of misery to the human race. but in the ma- Jority of cases the person does not sus- pect the cause of the trouble. A Virginia lady had an Interesting ex- periment with coffee polson. She says, “For about five years I was troubled with indigestion, weak stomach, and palpita- tion of the heart so bad that at times I would fall and have to be carried Into the house. Finally I began to have spasms and suffered untold misery. I tried all kinds of patent medicines and different doctors, only to get temporary relief. I finally gave up all hope of getting well My stomach was in such condition that everything but stale bread would throw me into spasms. I nearly starved myself but never suspected that coffee was the cause of all the trouble, nor did I have any {dea what the cause was. One day Father told me he had been reading how Postum Food Coffee helped s0 many people who were sick from coffee drinking and he urged me to leave off coftee and try Postum. I said, Ob, Father, 1 cannot try it and do not belleve it would do me any good,’ but he persuaded me to try a package. The first making tasted so flat that it made me half sick but I determined to glve it a fair trial so I read the directions carefully and found it must be bolled at least fifteen minutes. Well, I boiled it 25 minutes then added some good cream and I tell you it was delicious. I like it better than the ordinary coffee and of course stick to it Well, T have been using it since the 15th of July now, quite two months. I have gained about pounds. I gained six pounds in 13 weeks and can eat anything I want and all that I want. My stomach never hurts me. I have galned strength until now I can do my own work and go to church every Sunday. People say, ‘You are looking so well, what kind of medicine are you taking? I tell them I have quit all kinds of medicine and also coffee and am only using Postum Coffee. You may be sure T will recommend It and will guarantee & cure where the per- son will ol it long enough and drink enough of it. I would do without a meal for the sake of one cup of Postum. I could tell a lot more but space will not permit. You are at liberty to print this letter and my pame also for the ben- efit of others.” Mrs. A. T. Brown, Central Station, W.

Paxion of Mon- mouth, Duddleston Public boro. Instruction— SPRINGFIBLD, - 1ll., June 17.—The fore- going ticket was nominated by the demo- cratic state convention this afternoon and John P. Hopkins was re-elected chairman of the state central committee after a bitter contest with Carter B. Harrison of Chicago. The electlon of Chairman Hopkins pro- duced the only fight In the convention, but it was strong enough to make up for the tameness that characterized the other pro- ceedings of the convention. The day was full of clashes between Hopkins and Harrison. The two men in- dulged in an acrimonious gqmarrel in the St. Nicholas hotel during the morning, in which Hopkins bitterly resented criticisms made by Harrison, hls campalgn method attributed to Hopkins by Harrison. Later Harrison and his friends succeeded in beat- ing Hopkins in the district caucus for state committeeman and elected Thomas J McNally of Chicago in his stead. Hopkin's one chance to be re-elected chalrman was in the caucus of the general committee ap- pointed to select the chalrman—and the Harrison forces wefe jubilant, claiming Hopkins was beaten beyond all redemption. He himselt was confident of the outcome, however, and his confidence was justified when the committee. by a majority of 3, recommended his selection—the vote being Hopkins 13, Harrison 12. A minority re- port favoring the election of Harrison was made and the fight carried to the floor of the convention. Speeches Cause Excitement. The struggle produced wild excitement. Impassioned speeches were made in favor of both representatives and every orator was received with wild applause and tumultuous hoots. The delegates at times were frantic and criticisims highly per- sonal were exchanged. The first question before the convention in selecting the chairman was the adop- tion of the minority report as a substi- tute for that of the majority. This was voted down by the ayes and nays. Tho roll was then called on the adoption of the majority report. On this Hopkins won easily. The result of the ballot as an- nounced by Chairman Stringer was 862 for the adoption of the report and 397 against. In the contract for state treasurer Mil- lard F. Dunlap withdrew. just before the convention met. He could have been nom- inated by acclamation, But refused to runm. George W. Duddieston of Chicago, John Cuneo of Chicago and E. C. Pennell of Coles county were placed in nomination. Mr. Cuneo withdrew his name and Dud- dleston was nominated on the firat ballot, recelving 906 votes to 362 for Pennell. For clerk of the supreme court John L. Pickering of Springfield was nominated on the first ballot, receiving 947% votes to 275% for Luther Dearborn of Chicago. The other nominees were chosen by ac- clamation. ~ Stormy Fight Over Resolutions. The committee on resolutions had a long and stormy session before their report was finally adopted, They were 60 long at thelr task that all the nominations had been made and half the delegates had left the house when the report was read and adopted. The principal fight was over the first planks in the platform. As originally drafted this read: The democrats of Illinois in state conven- tlon declare their adherence to the funda- mental principles of the democratic party as laid down in the Declaration of Inde- endence and the Constitution of the United tates affirmed at our last national conven- tion. This was considered by the opponents of silver as & too specific declaration in favor of the Kaneas City platform and, headed by Jobn C. Richberg and Adolt Krap of Chicago, they fought it. For three hours the debate went on and the plank was amended to read: All fundamental points of the principles of the democratic party, etc., repeatedly afirmed by past democratic conventions.” No effort was made to bring in the name of W. J. Bryan. The Philippine platfrom also produced a long debate, some members of the com- mittee wishing to strike it out enmtirely. They were overruled, however, and this part of the platform, as adopted, reads as follows: We belleve that the American govern. ment should also announce to the Filipinos that it {s not our policy to permanentl: retain thelr country, but as soon as hos tilities shall cease, and a stable govern- ment be established the United States will recognize the independence of the Philip- pines, was done in the case of Cuba.

MINNEAPOLIS, Mion, June 17.—Sensa- tions came thick and fast in the police bribery cages today. When it came time to open up the trial of Christopher Norbeck, detective, for bribery, W. W. Erwin, his at- torney, rose and confessed that he did not know the whereabouts of his client. He had an appointment with Norbeck last night, but the accused had not kept it. Nor had he called at the attorney's office this morning, as had been his custom since the trial began The disappearance of the accused caused great excitement and a bench warrant will be issued for him. Since the conviction of Gardner, peclal oficer, and the commit- ment of Detective Harvey for perjury Nor- beck has been very despondent and has threatened suicide. His bail bond for $5,000 was signed by R. J. Hill and Brando Sodinl. Mrs. Norbeck told a reporter that her hus- band left home with another man at 8§ o'clock last might and she had not seen him since. Mayor of Minneapolis Indicted. Another sensation developed when it be- came known that Albert A. Ames, mayor of Minneapolis, had been indicted by the grand jury for offering a bribe.

Brown, appointed sherlff by the county commissioners, when it became evidentthat Philip Megaarden would be removed from the office by the governor, for misteasance. In attempting to carry out this plan he 1s alleged to have offered to o arrange matters that the $20,000 annual {ncome of the shorlft's office should be divided. equally between Brown and the three county com- missioners who were to vote for him, form- ing a majority of the board.
