ONLY TWO CASES BROUGHT BEFORE IT Civil Docket Contains Little Business and Two Days Will Wiad Up the Business of the Term. ‘With the opening of the September term of United States court yesterday morning the federal grand jury convened and ad- journed without returning a single indict- ment. This is said to establish a new Tecord in the history of the federal court Hev. W. H. Cabie is transierred | in Council Bluffs. But two cases were presented by George B. Miles, United States prosecuting attorney, the jury ignoring both. In one case Mrs. Annle Lemkle, wife of a farmer living near Griswold, was charged with the improper use of the mails. In the other case L. P, Fisher of Red Oak was charged with concealing property in bank- ruptey proceedings, it being alleged that he concealed the fact that he had a fifth interest in certaln property in which his mother had a life estate. In the interventign sult of W. H. Wil- tong in the receivership of the Omaha & St. Louls railroad the plaintiff ‘was given a judgment for $850, interest and costs. The afternoon fon was taken up by the arguments in the suit of the city of Davenport agalnst Willlam Russell Allen and other property owners. In this suit the eity of Davenport sought to recover from the defendants about $20,000, the cost of paving in front of their property. state court had held that the for the cost of the improvement wi and vold, as the contract between the city and the contractor who lald the paving constituted an indebtedness of the city beyond the constitutional limit. In the contract the city of Davenport specifically agreed to pay for the Improving instead of providing that the cost of the work would be pald by special assessment against the abutting property. The city of Daven- port then brought suit to recover the cost of the work and the defendant property owners, several of whom are non-residents, secured a transfer of the case to the fed- eral court. The case was brought here from the Keokuk division. Judge McPher- son took the case under advisement. The hearing on the application of the Towa Telephone company of Des Moines for an injunction against the striking employes will not be had here, as previously ar- ranged. The hearing has been postponed to October 16 in Des Moines. With this case out of the way it is expected that the ‘business of the term will be completed to- day, making the lightest term of federal court in this city on record. As the term of court at Creston occurs on the third Tuesday ia October, the same date as in Keokuk, Judge McPherson an- nounced that the Creston term would be adjourned to November 6. Clerk Mason of the United States circult court and other federal officials returned to Des Molnes last evening. Davis sells glass.

DES MOINES, Sept. 16.—(Special.)—The Anti-Saloon league met here today, the at- tendance being about twenty-five all told, much smaller than usual. L. 8. Coffin of Fort Dodge, presided. The secretary, Rev. Mott Sawyers of Centerville was not pres- | ent. The feature of the meeting was a lec- ture by Rev. Father Lenihan of Dubuque on temperance, and this is the first time there has ever been any afliation of the Catholle clergy with Protestants in tem- perance work in the state. The report of Rev. H. C. Marshall of Sloux City on the work of enforcoment during the year was read. Mr. Marshall reported that hie work had consisted largely of educational work. He recommended that the state be divided into eight or ten districts and a superintendent be named for each one to have charge of the work of enforcement. He also urged more agitation and educa- tion, that the league adopt a better sys- tem of financing it; that law enforcement should become more general, etc. In clos- ing he announced positively that he would not accept the re-election for an- other year. That he had col- lected for his work $1,120.52, and had expended $277.04. ' During the year a mulct petition had been obtalned on one county and in five counties had been freed from mulct petitions.

The committee was organized at the time of the state convention by the election of A. E. Jackson of Tama as chalr- man to succeed 8. P, McConnell of Bloom- field. It i{s probable that Jackson, who is an anti-silver democrat, will have charge of the headquarters most of the time. A majority of the members of the committee were present today. The literary work of the committee will be confined almost ex- clusively to the ecirculation of speeches of ihe ieadlug candidpies for congress, espe- clally those of Bolse and Wade, Some tention also will be given the campaigns for Craig and Reese in the First and Sixth dis- tricts.

Towa Crop Bulletin, The weekly crop bulletin for Iowa, is- sued by Director Sage today for the week ending September 15, does not indicate that corn sustained damage by reason of the recent frosts and what damage was suffered was confined to lowlands. The report fol- lows: The past week was one of the coldest on record for the first half of September. The average dally defictency was about seven degrees. The rainfall was very light and widely scattered. The conditions were fa- vorable for threshing, plowing and general farm operations. Frosts were reported at all stations on the morning of the 12th and 13th, with temperature below freezing in the northern districts. It was generally killing to tender vegetation in exposed lo- calities. Reports indicate that corn in the northern half of.the state, situated on flat or lowland, suffered considerable damage, but the full extent of injury cannot as yet be estimated. It is probable that this un sonable frost will materially increase the amount of soft and light welght corn that will be harvested. With favorable weather in the tuture, the early planted upland fields give promise of a large output of sound corn. A large portion of the crop in the southern Ralf of the state was too far advanced to be seriously injured. lowa's Dipsoma Colony.
