ONLY ORDINARY FRANE PROVIDED FOR Connty May Appenl or Possibly May Bring the Matter Before the next Grand Jury on Criminal In the suit brought by Pottawattamie county to restrain the Mason City & Fort Dodge Rallroad company from obstructing the public highways In its comstruction of the extension of the Great Western raliroad to Council Blufts, Judge Wheeler of the district court vesterday decided against the county and declined to issue the temporary injunction asked for. Judge Wheeler refused the injunetion applied for on the grounds that the ob- structions on the highways are not of such a nature as to require a restraining order. He also held that it was only or- dinary public travel and use of the high- ways that the raflroad had to provide for and not the exceptional use. The county introduced evidence to show that the piling driven by the rallroad in various high- ways throughout the county did not leave sufficlent passageway for a threshing m: chine to pai p'aces the county’'s elevator grader would be unable to pass, owing to the obstruc- tion caused by the piling. The suit was brought particularly to restrain the rallroad from obstructing the highway near Green's packing house in Gll'l’l'P where the plling has only left passageway of less than seventeen feet In width, but a general restraining order applicable to all roads throughout the county was asked for. Ever since the Mason City & Fort Dodge Rallroad company began its construction work in this county, its methods of plac~ ing piling in the public highways for its overhead crossings has been a bone of contention between it and the farmers fising the highways. The railroad has re- fused to reoede from its positign, claiming the right to temporarily obstruct the roads. On behalf of the county it contended that the rallroad drives its pil- ing at right angles to its line of rallway without regard to the highway, and places them at an le in the road without an opening between any two rows of pill of more than seventeen feet, which Is considered insufficient passageway. At the Napler crossing, on the highway skirting Mosquito creek, it is charged that ti rallroad has placed its piling practically square across the roadway, which almost makes the thoroughfare Impassable for even ordinary travel. Stand for Seven Years. The ‘‘temporary” crossings constructed by the raflroad, it is understood, will be left in position for from five to seven will be replaced with girders on stone abutments. At least, President Colt of the Mason City & Fort Dodge road offered to agree during the trial of the case that if the county would agree to permit, the ‘‘temporary” cross- ings to remain, the railroad would at the end of seven years replace them with pe: manent steel brids This Coumty At- torney Killpack, on behalf of the county, refused to agree to. It is possible that the county may ap- peal from Judge Wheeler's ruling, but this will be a matter for the Board of County Supervisors to determine. County Attorney Killpack stated yesterday that he would likely bring the matter before the grand jury at its session in September and try to secure an indictment against the rallroad on a charge of obstructing public highways, which 1s & criminal offense, and In the event of the grand jury returning an indictment it would then bring the matter before a jury for sottle- ment.

The recent encampment of the Forty- ninth regiment has convinced General Byers and other army officials that no bet- ter grounds could be found in the state than those known as the Mullarkey park. High, dry and yet supplied with pure pring water, timber and vacant drill ground, it seeme to meet all the require- ments. Cedar Falls is & temperance town and no liquor can be had here, which re- sulted in & sober regiment during the en- tire time.

(From a Staft Correspondent.) DES MOINES, July 28.—(Special)— There is now reasonable certainty that the republican state convention of this week will reafirm the platform of last year, with only such slight changes as might be deemed necessary by changing conditions. The county conventions held the last weel and especially those held on Saturday, 1 dicated a general desire to have this year's convention reafirm the platform of last year. This is regarded by all as a con- cise statement of the view entertained by the late President McKinley and expressed in the last speech he uttered. It demands reciprocity and a revision of the tariff schedules so as to not afford shelter to monopoly where that is found to exist. For ‘some time it has been evident an at- tempt would be made to have this changed and the platform declare only for protec- tlon, without any hint of removal of pro- tection from monopolles. It is under- stood that Congressman Smith, in his speech as temporary chairman, will take a stand In opposition to anything that would indicate that monopolies have been sheltered by the protective schedules, but Senators Alllson and Dolliver are in favor of a clear expression on the subject. In this district there has been a contest be- tween ex-Senator Berry of Warren county and Lafe Young of Polk county for a place on the resolutions committes. Berry f vors last year's platform and is a candi- date as the speclal friend of Governor Cummins, who very much desires reitera- tion of the platform. Young is opposed to that platform and would leave out the ref- erence to monopolies. In the Fifth dis- trict it s belleved Secretary Wilson will be selected without opposition. George E. Roberts, director of the mint, will be on the committes from the Tenth district. Criag Wright of Sloux City and Senator Funk of Dickinson county are considered in the Rleventh district. Colonel French of Davenport will be on the committee from the Second. Preliminary Work for Candidates. The preliminary work for the candidates is now being done. All of them are on band and have thelr rooms open for vis- Itors. There 1s much talk of combinations and deals. This ie considered possible, be- cause, for instance, in the Fifth dlstrict there is a candidate for clerk and one for raliroad commissioner and the same con- dition exists in the Third district and in the First district. N. 8. Ketchum of Marshalltown clearly in the lead for railroad commissioner and has the best organization, but E. A. Dawson of Waverly 1s confident he will be renominated. C. T. Jones of Wi ngton county is in the lead for clerk, but the fact that he has been in the office for twenty years is working against him, and C. W. Neal of Daven- port is coming to the front as the leadl candidate with the Second district solidly for him. There {s some interest in the candidates for reporter, but it is generally belleved it will be a close race between Salinger and Cornwall. Many inebriates Cared For, The report of Superintendent A of the Btate hospital at Mount ;T:::;l: filed- with the Board of Control, shows that @ great many more inebriates have been cared for there than was supposed. During the last year there were forty-four, of whom six were women, who w sent to the hospital by boards of Insanity and were entered as insane, but who in fact were only inebriates. Besides this, the Board of Control sent three state patients there who were inebriates. The courts sent five to the hospital, two for one year each and three for six months each. This was under the old law. Of the Inebriates the superin- tendent discharged twenty-one as cured, six were taken out by order of court, three es- caped and three died. There were twenty- #ix in the hospital July 1. house here and the bullding of residences and business blocks, including an elevator, brickyard, foundry and possibly a canning tactory, will be begun at once. HENDERSON ANSWERS MILLERS Favors London Dock Bill and Gave It Three Ch: Ho: cen in the DUBUQUE, Ia., July 28.—Speaker Hen- derson in An Interview today on the reports of the grievances of the National Millers' assoclation, on the ground that he prevented the passage of the London dock bill, said: “I had not heard anything of it until Saturday last, when I first saw an article on the subject. 1 was greatly surprised to see anything of the kind from the millers, whose friend 1 have been all the time and I tried to get their bill through. I gave them the floor once and let 1 come up the second time, but members in charge of the measure wanted it passed over, they hoped for a compromise between friends and enemlies of the bill. This was twice that the bill's friends had an opportunity. Later 1 proposed again to have the bill called up by calling upon the committees, but Mr. Tawney, author of the bill, was absent that day and other friends of the measure were unwilling to have it come up in his ab- ce, 80 that s three times that the bill practically had its day in court, and for the reasons named fatled to be disposed of, but in no instance was it any fault of mine. The bill s & just one and ought to pass, and T have no doubt it will pass at the short session of congress. I fear there has been some very thoughtless misreprese ation about this matter, for it is not usual for men to attack their loyal friends. WOODMEN SAVE INSURANCE * Clipping & Vital Point in ST. LOUIS, July 28.—(Speclal Telegram.) ~The validity of a newspaper clipping as evidence was the pivot upon which a case In the United Btates court of appeals has been decided, closing several years of Ii gation, and the Modern Woodmen of Ame fea is saved over $3,000 in an opinion handed down this morning. The court afirmed a verdict in the United States district court of Iowa against Mrs. Jessle Kerr, who sued for $3,000 insurance. James R. Kerr, formerly a clerk for the Modern Woodmen of America, a lumberman, was arrested July 27, 1897, at Manilla, I a charge of bigamy, alleged to have been committed in Missourl. He blew out his brains in an upstalrs room on the day of his arrest while the officers were walit- ing for him below. His widow sued for the $3,000 insurance. A Manilla newspaper, in its account of the tragedy, printed this letter: Dearest Jessle: They are onto this for the money there is in it. The others wre nothing to me. Collect my insurance_and {ake good care of Georgle. Goodbye. Your loving HUSBAND. The Woodmen, whose charter prohibits payment of death polioies on lives of sul- cides, protested, introducing the clipping as evidence, and the defense fought this, but lost today. Floods Interfere with Wedding. CRESTON, Ia., July 28.—(Speclal.)—The high waters prevented the prompt delivery of a letter from J. Berberick of Bedford to his sweetheart, Cora Turner of Greene, and came near defeating the marriage of the couple. The groom waited for two days in Creston for the arrival of the bride In respoi to his missive, byt in vain, and when Miss Turner arrived here a few days later in quest of her flane she was- greatly worried at his absence. The circumstances were finally explained by a newspaper man and the couple hap- pily married last night. Stewart Bra: Rumer F CRESTON, Ia, July 28.—(Special)— Superintendent O. E.

Mr. Stewart s that no such an order has been issued and if it 18 even un- der contemplation he is entirely ignorant. Mr, Fabens of Ottumwa also says there is no truth in the rumor. Find Dead Body in Ho CLINTON, Ia., July 28.—(Special. looking through a vacant housa for rent Soldiers’ Hospital Much Used. The report of Commandant Horton of the Soldiers’ home at Marshalltown for the year ended June 30 last shows that the hos- pital has been much needed. There s an average of over 100 in the hospital at all times. During the year there were 460 treated in the hospital wards, besides the large number who recelved medical atten- tlon in thelr rooms.

The Jackson county repub- licans indorsed 'C. W. Gregory, county at- torney, for the nomination, and the Musca. tine county republicans instructed for Wil- llam Hoffman of Muscatine. The Scott county republicans did not bring out a candidate, but either W. H. Wilson or Colonel Nutting will be preseated by that county. The Clinton county people will likely bring out a candidate also. Dele- gates 10 the city from that district still be- lieve the candidate will be Wiison of Davenport. Capitol Commission at Work.

The city has already donned its holiday dress and the streets are masses of flags and bunting: the Blks colors are everywhere and some of the decorated store fronts are marvels of beauty and fnventive gen- fus. in and Sherman strests will be lit up at night by thousands of electric lights, while across each street are now swinging set pleces, elk heads, symbolic designs and mott, in electric With the opening of the Elks' fair and carnlval Tuesday morning nmext, there will be an end to darkness for the next five | days. The city Is already filling up and there but every house has been thrown open to the strangers and there will not be a lack of accommodations and the city will be able to handle all who come. The commit- tee of the local lodge of Elks, besides the money which It has put into the big show, has collected gbout $6,000 in subscriptions from business men and residents of the city, so the expenses of the falr and car- nival are assured. An elaborate program of entertalnment has been prepared, and besides that which will be §Povided by the Elks themselves attractions from the outside have been brought in, and the midway will contain s many shows did that of the Trans- mississippl exposition, and they will be as varied in their uniqueness. Ferris wheels, mystic mazes, scenic rallroad: magic swings and the usual lesser attractions have been established and are already tak- ing in the nickels and dimes. Fakirs and cheap Indlers are being sent out of the ity soon as they poke their noses in- side of its limits, and a strong force of plain clothes policemen is now on duty. The election for a queen of the carnival took place Saturday night and resulted in the election of one of the handsomest girls in the city to that position—Miss Carrie Tipple—a girl born and ralsed here. 'The wild west show, which will be one of the attractions, has already received a large consignment of Indians from the res- | ervation. Doc Middleton, Captaln Hardy, Big Bat, the celebrated scout of Custer and Crook, cowboys galore and everything that pertained o ths exciting soenes of early days will be here and cavort around the big_arena, The day of days, however, will be when the Omaha contingent arrives, and the Elks will do things to the pligrims from the Gate City, after which the town will be theirs. It is the intention to make that day—Thursday—the big day of the show. Delegations from Denver, Stoux City and as far east as Chicago will be he and the two trunk lines of rallroads entering the city will be taxed to handle the crowds.
