POOR MAN NOW MILLIONAIRE itisen of Webster City, lowa, to Famous Estate of Many Millto: WEBSTER CITY, Ia., Sept. 11.—(Specal.) ~Mr. and Mrs. 8. H an of this city left last night for Troy, N. Y., to claim an in- terest In an estate valued at $250,000,000. The estate In question consists of 266 acres of land within the city of New York. The interest which the Mans have in this immense fortune is an eleventh share, which is due to Mrs. Man through the death of an aunt. The estate comes to the Man family through Mrs. Man's great grandfather. This great grandfather, Van Schuyler by name, was a Dutchman direct trom New Netherland stock. He came into possession of the estate by Inheritance through three generations. The land came into original possession of the Van Schuy- lers through the Duteh ‘“patroon” system of colonization. After this manner did the anclent Van Schuyler come into possession of a por- tion of these vast estates. In 1762 he leased the land for a period of ninety-nine yeéars. New York was then but a good sized vil- lage and the land lay far from fts out- skirts. The country town grew until now this then almost valueless land has be- come worth millions upon milllons. The lease expired In 1861 and the original heirs are now seeking a settlement through the courts. The settlement has dragged along over forty-one years on account of the in- abllity fo locate many of the heirs through subsequent generations. The matter, how- ever, Is now In the final stages of settle- ment and Mr. Man, who, while a resident of Webster City shoveled clay at the brick and tile factory, will become a millionaire. EX-SPEAKER FUNK KICKS He Refases to Go on the Stump with Alleged Bolters and Profes- onal Agitators. JIOWA FALLS, Sept. 1L.—(Spectal)— Mayor J. H. Funk, who is well known over the state as a stump speaker and prominent in polities in Towa for several years as well as a prominent member of the Iowa legislature for several terms and later speaker of the house, has declined to enter the campaign now opening in Towa and has 50 advised the managers of the campalgn. In stating his reasons for refusing to take the stump this fall, Mr. Funk sald: “While 1 would be glad to take part in a political campalgn conducted by republicans, I can- not consent to take any part against the aativiial adwinisication. The eugagement of that prince of buffoons and bolters, W. E. Mason, {s an insult to every loyal re- publican in the state. In a campalgn run along these lines, I would suggest that the management might secure Edward At- kinson, Semator Hoar, Carl Schurz and others of that ilk. Candidly, I can see no place in the present campaign for loyal re- publicans under the present management. Rankin, fighting the republican party nine months under pay, and working for us two months In the year for pay is bad enough, but when Mason is added the dose becomes too nauseous for any republican of welf-respect to take. Wil Blythe of Treynor at the head of our party manage. ment, there would be no encouragement of such chronic bolters as Mason."” NOT SHERIFF STRAIN'S SLAYER Tda Grove Authorities Make Arrest, but Not the Right Man, ONAWA, Ia., Sept. 11.—(Speclal Tele- gram.)—The Ida Grove authorities tele- phoned that they thought they had BA Carns.

NEVADA, Ia., Sept. 11.—(Special)—At- torneys representing the Des Motnes, Towa Falls & Northern rallroad bave just eon- concluded a conference with the Board Supervisors relative to an overhead cross- ing at the junction of the mew road three miles east of Nevada. The county had se- cured injunctions against the compan: stopping work on the bridges, and these injunttions will now be dismissed by agree- {ment. The company agrees to connect its { steel bridges with the bridges to be erected by the county on the present plers and to provide a safe temporary crossing.

NO INTEREST IN STATE TICKET Facts and Statistics Show the Republicnns Will H Serfous Contests and Do Thelr Best. (From a Staff Correspondent.) DES MOINES, Sept. 11.—(Special.)—The political icontest in lTowa this year will be mainly centered in four congressional dis- tricts—the First, Second, Third and the Sixth. The democrats, of course, have no thought of carrying the state. In thelr convention there was no interest mor con- test for place on the state ticket. It em- braces the name of no first-class man, but 1a filled out with unknown and obscure persons rather as & matter of form. Likewise In most of the congressional districts the demooratic predicament s ut- terly hopeless, In the Tenth and Eighth districts the democratic nominees have de- clined to make the race and withdrawn from fhe ticket. The republican pluralities in the last election two years ago in the districts which will not be serlously con- tested now were as follows: Fourth, 10,- $63; Fifth, 0,868; Seventh, 12,143; Eighth, 5,451; Ninth, 6,947; Tenth, 15,938; Eleventh, 12,152, But the other districts which will be serlously contested this year have all been carried by the democrats or by fusion of the democrats with the popullsts except the Third, which is the home of Speaker Henderson. For two decades until four years ago that district was normally demo- cratic and was only saved for the re- publicans by the personal popularity and campaigning efficiency of Speaker Hender- son, but always by slender pluralities and once by a plurality of only 267. His plural- ity two years ago, however, ran up to 11,3%. The immense German vote in all the counties on the Mississippl river came over almost In a body to the republicans on the money issue, having previously acted with the democrats for a decade dur- ing the prohibition epoch, and this in large part accounts for the landslide in the speaker's district in the last two or three electlons. _Similar causes have operated in the First and Second districts, both of them “river Qistricts,” and both solldly democratic on the liquor issue. For twelve years the late ex-Governor John H. Gear was the only re- publican who succeeded in carrying the PFirst, and he was repeatedly defeated. The Second district was purposely mads a de | ocratic district by assigning to it strong democratic counties in order to make sure of republican districts elsewhere, and in twenty years the -republicans have eon- trolled 1t for only three terms. In the last election the republican plurality was only 1,465 and the majority over all was only 364. In the First district the republican majority was only 2,630. The Sixth district has, until recently, been carried as often by the democrats and fusionists as by the republica the stronghold of the greenback successors - were ‘the populists, and since the Bryan regime they have coalesced with the democracy. Two years ago Comgress- man Lacey, whe: has always had to fight for his lite, carried the district by only 2,743 republican fpajority. In these four districts the democrat either have or will put up strong candidates. Judge Cralg in the First, Judge Wade fn the Second and ex-Governor Boles in the Third are probably the strongest leaders that it {s' possible for the democrats to choose. They will make energetic contests. The real alm is to break the now Towa republican delegation in congress, to that extent the republicans should know that there is a real fight ahead. Charged with Abusing a Ch! A lite tragedy, culminating in inhuman cruelty to a babe, came to light in De: Molnes today. 1. N. Thompson of Dall Center was In the city about two weeks ago making inquiries about his wife, who had come to Des Moines. It appears she bad de- serted him to live a life of shame. He could not find her. But he left with friends his child, a boy about 23 years old, and today, baviog heard that the child was not well treated, he came here again. He found that his child had been in fact shamefully treated. He brought the little one to police headquarters and its body was found to be covered with stripes and brulses, showing that it had been subjected to an unmercitul beating at the hands of someone. He swore out an lnformation at once accusing Mr. and Harry Lloyd, who live on Twenty-sec- ond street, with assault upon the child, Mrs. Liloyd is a stepsister to Mrs. Thompson.

EXTENT OF BUCY FORGERIES More Notes A Found and It is Likely that Still Others Wiil Come to Light. 10WA FALLS, Ia., Sept. 11.—(Spectal.)— There s considerable speculation as to the extent of the Bucy forgeries, as invastiga- tlons have brought to'light more bogus notes than were found when the man's forgeries were first detected. He has been on trial in %he district court this week, having béen indicted for forgery cn five ecounts. Beveral other notes are reported to have been found since the young man's incarceration and speculation 1s rife as to whether or mot numerous other notes of the young man's handiwork may not be in the hands of private Investers in small amounte. The clever manipulation of the pen in the hands of this young man appears to have permitted wholesale currency of his bogus paper and it will be strange it more notes are not found in the hands of innocent purchasers who relled on the worth and integrity of the man back of the note rather than on the genulneness of the man's sig- nature, Bad Fire at Ackley.
