SURPRISED AT HIS WORK IN ALL PLACES Geta Away with His Instance: His Nightahirt a Other Place. Two burglaries and one attempted bur- glary were credited up last night to the lone burglar who has been giving the po- lice so much worry t tew, days. The residences entered Tuesday night by this unwelcome visitor were those of Fred Johnson, 545 Fifth avenue; Owen P. Wick- ham, 616 Seventh avenue, and Mrs. Dyar, 8§08 Sixth avemue. At the first two places the lone robber succeeded in securing val- uable booty, but at the Dyar home he was frightened away before he could lay his hands on anything. Mr. and Mrs. Johnson wen ‘Tuesday evening, and on rel ing Mr. Johnson, after taking his horse to the barn, went to the Elks’ club house, leaving Mrs. Johneon to enter the house alone. Mrs. Johnson had several:parcels in her arms and in consequence took some time to open the hall door. Entering the hall she heard a nolse in the back part of the house, but for the moment supposed it was made by their two dogs locked up in the summer kitchen. On lighting the gas in the dining room, however, she at once no- ticed the window wide open and one of the curtains badly torn and hanging out- side. Summoning a neighbor Mre. John- son proceeded to investigate, and discov- ered that all the silverware had been taken from the dining room table and sideboard. The thief was evidently surprised by Mrs. Johnson and overlooked a quantity of sil- verware and a pocketbook contalning a considerable sum of money in the top drawers of the sideboard. In a sliver pickle jar which the thief secured Mr. Johnson had placed - several articles of Jewelry. for a drive Runs the Ganatlet. At the Wickham residence the lone burglar secured a gold watch and chain and pocketbook belonging to George ‘Wickham, who had only returned that day from Salt Lake, where he attended the Elks' meeting. Tho pocketbock, rified of its contents, wasefound yesterday after- nogn in a neighboring yard. thiet en- tered by a window on the first floor and went up stairs to Georze Wickham's room, where be was discovered 'by Mrs. Wick- ham, who slept on the first floor, and *had been awakened by the man ascending tho stairs. Bhe closed the door on the thlet and awakened a young man rooming In the house. The burglar, however, suc- ceeded In dashing down the stairway and out ‘into the stoeet before the young man, who had armed himself with a revolver, could get a shot at him. The thief bhad, after ering the house, taken the pre- caution to open the front door to provide an avenue of escape. At the Dyar residence he .pursued the same tactics, but in opening the hall door aroused Mrs. Dyar, who called to her son, who slept up stairs. The eon, seizing a revolver, lost no time in making after the thief, and was just in time to take a shot at him as he jumped the fence ‘into a neighboring yard. Not being clothed In anything but his nightshirt Mr. Dyar did not continue the pursuit. The police are of the opinion that the burglar who visited the three residenc\ Tuesday night is also responsible for th robberies at the Brown and Van Dervere homes. The buyglary at the Wickham home Tuesday night makes the fitth time this year that the family has been visited by thieve: Wiring for the Street Fair, Emmet Tinley, exalted ruler of the Coun- cil Blufts lodge of Elks, has issued an off- clal call for the members to assemble at the clubhouse Monday morning at 9 o'clock to take part in the Labor day parade. In his call he asks that at least 400 members be in line. The Elks will be distinguished in the parade by cap, tle of the colors of the order and canes bearing small triangular fiags of purple with the letters E” In white. The street fair and carnival will be opened a} 1 o'clock the afternoon of Labor day and the several committees are Hustling day and night to get everything in read- iness for the festiVe occasion. Indications are that with favorable weather the street fair will be the greatest success of any- thing of its kind in this eection of the country. Work on wiring the streets and park was begun yesterday. It ‘is planned to make the fair one blaze of electric lights. The vote in the dlamond ring contest for the most popular young woman in the eity last night was: Bdna Keellne, 12; Georgle Mitchell, 7; Adah Sargent and Bdith Butler, 6 each; Marion Benton, §; Alice Bonham, 4, and Miss Aten, 2. Merging of Ofices Considered. Owing to the streets and alleys fund being practically exhausted many of the aldermen are in favor of merging the offices of strest and remainder of the fiscal year. At the city hall yesterday if was given out that this would ln all probability be dome, as >ver $400 could be saved by consolidating the two offices. When the streets and allers fund becomes entirely exhausted ft is the opiajon that in a case of emergency the contingent fund can be drawn upon to repalr streets which may be damaged by rain or other causes. Unless thie contingent fund can be resorted to the city will not be ib a positirn 425 |to do any work on the streets during the 'mor or next spring, when it will be most zeeded.

OLD PLATFORM TURNED DOWN BIOUX CITY, 1a., Aug. 27.—(Spectal Tele- gram.)—The democratic congressional con- vention which was held at LeMars today refused to reafirm the Kansas City plat- form. There were only twenty-four dele- gates present and of these the delegation from Clay county, headed by Earl Bronson of Spencer. was the only one that wished to stand by the Kansas City declaration. It was decided before the convention was called to lgnore all reference to the plat- form. So great was the fear that it would | be mentioned that a motion to appoint a committee on resolutions was dispensed with upon an amendment to the motion made by Judge VanWagenen of Sloux City. T. M. Zinks, a LeMars attorney, who was not present, weas nominated after an in- effectual attempt had been made to nomi- nate someone from among the delegates present. J. H. Quick of Sioux City, W. C. ‘Whiteing of Whiting, J. M. Parsons of Rock Rapids and J. T. Montgomery of Ida county were urged to accept the nomination, but all these men were busy. They hed other business when an adjournment without nomination stared the convention in the face. After mysterlous caucussing it was finally decided to nominate Mr. Zinka, who ‘was absent and could not refuse. It is not known whether or not he will accept. The judicial convention of the Fourth ju- dicial district decided to name only one candidate and E. J. Stanson was nominated.

SHOWS WHERE 10WA SHINES — @Governor Oummins Quotey Some Figures About the Gress Btate. FIRST IN HOGS. AND FIRST IN CORN (From a Staft Cofrespondent.) DBS MOINES, Aug. 27.—(Special)—The attendance at the state falr today was en- tirely satisfactory to the management. After the bad wéather of the first of-the week the sun eame out today and gave the falr a per- fect day. This was appreciated by perhaps 30,000 persons who visited {ha falr. The feature of the day was the formal dedica- tion of the new pavillon and the address of the governor, but during both forenoon and afternoon the great pavilion ‘was crowded all the time with visitors, as the stock judging was in progress. In the afternoon there was a great crowd also at the races and the track was in excellent condition. The receipts up to this morning for the fair amounted to about $15,000, but when the re- turns are all in for today's work this sum will probably be doubled. A serlous acci- dent occurred in the stock judging ring m- morning, A. W. Truman of Bushnell, IIl, prominent horseman, recelving a kick trom one of his own horses which may end fa- tally. He was-struck in the ribs and it is feared Internal injuries will develop to cause his death. Pavillon Dedicated. The dedication of the stock pavilion was tormal affair, but was attended by thous ands. President Fraiser of the fair assoca- tion presided and there was & bpief address by Senator Harrimgn, who has long been identified with the falr management and who pushed the bill through the legislature ap- propriating for the stock pavilion. He was followed by Governor Cummins, state and its reso Interesting res showing that United State] there is employed as fixed capital in manufactures a little more than .| $5,000,000,000, while in agriculture there is invested more than $20,500,000,000. In Iowa the proportion is even more startling. In 1850, according to the reports of that ti there was farmed in Towa & total of 824, acres of land. Now of the 35,300,000 acres in Towa there is under cultivation a total of 34,674,337 These figures illustrate as no other figures can the fact that there s very little waste land in Iowa and very little that bas not been made use of. The value of this land 1s more than $1,700,000,000. The number of farms is 228,662, and the num- her operated by their owners is 147,306. lowa farm products have been increasing enormously in value in recent years. Aec- cording to the reports of the crop bureau the actual cash value of Towa farm products in 1899 was reported to be $356,411,528, which was $20,000,000 1 excess of the value of the products in any other state of the unfon. Ot this vast amount the lowa farmers fed to thelr livestock at home $102,023,040. This |fairly filustrates ur commanding position among the states, for Illisots fed $§1,000,000 worth, New Yorlk: §63,000,000 and others fol- lowing along with smaller amounts. The comparison’ 18 dédply gratifying to the peo- ple of Towa, but’there is another still more pleasing (o the pride of the people of the state. With all this agricultural wealth we find that condition in other industries is good. Wai the rewards of industry in all lines are ex< cellent. Farm Incofes Cor ed. The total gross income from faims is greater in Jowa than in other states. The figures for the best of the states, whioh figures include additions to farm property, are: lowa, §326,745785; Illinols, $316,408,- 202; Texas, $263,896,328; Ohlo, 201,144,284. There were no others approaching these in the total value of farm income, In another way may this supremacy of Towa be shown. The following figures show the value of all domestic animals in the states that led all others for the year 1900: Towa $271,814,034| Nebraska. ml.'m.fl Tex 226 770 Missourt .. 1ok Tilinof 1 & Kanoas /212, 186317548 Tndrans 106,048, All the other states fall below the $100, 000,000 mark.

In the number of 2-year-old steers Iowa leads, In the value of meat cattle in 1900 Towa stands well, being a close second to Texas, but the value per head in Iowa was $26.55, against the value of $17.31 in Texas. The livestock is not all on the farms, elther, for statisties show that in the citles of 50,000 and less than 100,000 Des Moines leads all in the union in the number of dairy cows, having 4,458 to every 100,000 In cities under 50,000 Stoux all others, with Council Bluffs So aleo in the statistics regarding horses we find Iowa with 1,392,573, Illinois second and Texas third, with the it not in the reckoning. In hogs lowa had 9,723,791 with Tllinois the closest rival, with less than 6,000,000. lowa had 15% per cent of the total number of hogs in the union snd 18.9 per cent of the total val Towa led in chickens with more than 18,000,000 and in ducks with 487,000, Jlowa turned out 99,621,920 dozen eggs In 1900, which was more than any other sta So in corn Tows had first place, with 228,000,000 bush- els, second place in oats, with 175,000,000 bushels, and fourth in barley. These figures but briefly indicate the dominance of lowa in all agrigultural mat- ters and afford sufficient reason why the Jows state fair is one of the great insti- tutions of the midland country and why Jowa is so conspicuous among the states.

The attendance was large. The chief phase of the or- ganization which was emphasized in the meet! y. was how best to Increase the Jdney and add jo the dignity of the serviee of the rural mall carriers. The object of the assoclation, s set forth in the coastitution drawn up in the meeting held in Des Moines November 13, 1901, was to develop In all mail carriers an interest and pfide n their work and to increase their efficiency and influence by coming to- gether at the annual meetings.

Carriers. the KEOKUK, Ia., Aug. 27.—In a legal fight for the possession of her 1l-months-old baby, which is seriously ill, Mrs. Vina Kellar caused the arrest of the infant to- day on & charge of vagrancy and had her- self appointed a special condtable to take charge of the diminutive prisoner during a continuance of the ¢ase. This was & vic tory over Secretary Elmer Park of the As- soclated Charities, who was landed in jail for nearly an hour for contempt of court in Ris attempt to deprive the mother of her child. Today's Incidents followed the action of a local court in declaring unconstitutional the recently enacted state law) providing for the taking of childrqn, from dissolute or incompetent parents. Secretary Park appealed from the de- clsion and refused to obey the order of the court to return the baby to its mother. He was then arrested on a bench warrant for contempt of court and sent to jail. His lawyer then routed Judge Hughes out of bed and filed a petition for & writ of habeas corpus, which had a hearihg today. In the meantime the mother of the baby had a neighbor file information in a jus- tice of the peace's court, charging the baby, 11 months old, with vagraney. A big constable soberly arrested the baby at the hospital, where it was being treated, and brought the infant prisomer to court. The vagrancy case wae continued to Sat- urday and the mother was made a spectal constable and ordered to keep the baby prisoner safely till the case should be called again. The mother took the baby and hid It somewhere in the city. County Attorney Marshall said tonight that the next move would be the prosecution of the justices and thé lawyers for the mother on a charge of conspiracy in the vagraney case. In passing upon the habeas corpus peti- tion today Judge Hughes construed the law to be that if the mother is found competent by a trial court and the child be given back the flling of a notice of appeal by the Assoclated Charities stops the execution of the order to return the child to the mother, the effect of which ‘would be to keep the child away from the acquitted mother until a long series of ap- peals through all the courts tc the su- preme court could be'finally decided, tak- zn' gefierally two years. The attorney for ry Park said in open court that this ‘was the intention of hie client. Judge Hughes 15 & jurist of the highest reputa- tion in Towa and Missour!, and his decision rendered in the habeas corpus proceedings has caused a wave of Intense indignation over the new law. Judge Hughes says it 1s true that the new law makes it possible for anybody to file an information against anybody's child, and after acquittal keep the child from the parents for a long time by a serles of appeals to Jigher court DIES FOR HIS CHICKENS' SAKE Nelghbor Would Cause Fowls MUSCATINE, In., Aug. 27.—(Special)— Because his neighbor thr ed to get out an Injunction to make him keep his chick- ens at home, Herman J.

MONTANA MAN LIKE TRACY Eacapes from Prison ud Defies Officers from Mountain Fastness. SENDS LETTER TO A BUTTE NEWSPAPER Declares His Only Purpose in Seekin, Liberty Is to KiIll Witness Whose Testimony Made of Him a Felon. BUTTE, Mont,, Au ‘With officers of the state penitentiary upon his trall, as- sisted by Dbloodhounds, Conviet Tom O'Brien, who last Friday made a daring escape from the state prison, has sent a communieation to ihe Miner, pleading for & public statement of his alleged crime and vowing the death of Under Sherift Dave Morgan, whose alleged perjured testimony, the convict declares, sent him to prison and wrecked his home. The document received by the Miner bears the postmark of Ahaconda. The writer dates his communication from a mountain in the surrounding hills of Anaconda and says that he wrote his story behind a rock, dividing his time between his Winchester and his pen. The communication is a literary freak and there ls: no quéstion as to its au- thenticity, as the handwriting Bas been tully identified by the warden of the peni- tentiary and others acquainted with the criminal. O'Brien declares his sole object in escap- ing from the prison is to kill Deputy Sherift Morgan. O'Brfen was sent up for robbery in 1001 STEEL TRUST FILES ANSWER Makes Sweeping Denial of All the Al- legations in the Bill of Par- ticulars of Plaintiffa. TRENTON, N. J, Aug. 27.—The United States Steel corporation today filed in the court of chancery an danswer to the amended bill of complaint of J. Aspinwall Hodge, Bernard Smith and Willlam H. Cur- tiss to restrain the proposed conversion of $200,000,000 7 per cent preferred stock into $200,000,000 . 5 per cent second mortgage ‘bonds. The answer denles that the books of the corporation show Curtiss to be the owner of any stock of the concern. Bmith, it is averred, did not own any stock of rgcord until June 2, 1902, after the plan of conversion had been adopted, and that the stock now recorded in Smith's name was voted In favor of the plan. Hodge, it is admitted, owns 100 shares of stock, but it s alleged that he was not present at the stockholders’ mecting when the plan was submitted and that his stock was not voted, either by himself or by Pproxy. It is denled that fifteen or more of the directors of the steel corporation are mem- bers of the syndicate through which the preferred stock was to be converted into bonds. It is announced that some of the directors are members of the syndicate, but that this fact was communicated to every stockholder in the circular of April 17, 1902. The answer says the directors in the syn- dicate are a minority in the board of di- rectors, but that they are lawge stockhold- ers and favored the conversiofi plan because elieved it would be advantageous to them as stockholders. It is denled that any stockholders had been offered special terms in connmection with converting their pre- fetred stock into bonds, in order to secure their afirmative votes for the plan. It is denled that the $50,000,000 of addi- tional capital which it was proposed to obtain ‘was ceded for purposes that were chargeable to the earnings of company. The ai swer then takes up the line of the argument made in the aMdavit of George W. Perkins, chairman of the finance committee, filed last week, in which Mr. Perkins claimed that this additional $560,000,000 was needed to pay for improvements and o give the company a larger surplus, to permit it to do a cash busine: nd be protected against a money stringency in the event of a bus- iness depression. The answer says thé earnings of the cor- poration for the year ending March 31, 1902, were $111,603,054; for the month of April, 1902, $12,320,666; May, $13,120,390; June, $12,220,362; July, estimated, $11,800,000, or at the rate of $160,000,000 & year. An inven- tory is filed to show that the company's property is worth $1,400,000,000, more than the combined par value of the preferred and common stock. It is stated also that the company's sur- plus is now $65,000,000. The answer em- phasizes the point ra by Mr. Perkins to the effect that the conversation plan would reduce the fixed charges of the company and be advantageous to all stockholders, both preterred and common.
