SEEKS TO ENJOIN DITCHES Jogan Crawford Asserts Cost Will Confiscation of Abut- ting Lan ‘:a petition in the suit in which Logan wford of Missourl Valley seeks to en- Join the supervisors of Harrison and Pot- ttamie counties from constructing the drainage ditches was liled in the district court yesterday, Crawford asks for a permanent injunction against the supervisors of both counties and it is un- derstood that the suit will be tried at the Beptember term of district court. Logan Crawford, the petitioner, is an old- time civil enginger and is sald to be thor- oughly aoquainted with the conditions ex- fsting In the section of country proposed to be improved by the construction of largo drainage ditches by the authorities of the two counties. He takes the stand that the proposition according to the plans decided upon s impracticable and further that the cost will be enormous. The cost, he contends, will far exceed the estima made by the engineers appolnted by the commissioners and will prove such a bur- den on the afutting property that It will practically conflscate it. Regurding the cost of the proposed ditches Mr. Crawford asserts that it will reach $260,000 in place of $100,000 as estl- mated by the county authorities. The ex- ocavation alone, he insists, will cost $90,000, ‘while the levees will entall the expenditure of §70,000 more. Then, he urges, no account bas been taken of the expense of oon- structing bridges, culverts and floodgates, which, he says, will mean the outlay of yet §30,000 further. Mr. Crawford also contends that the pro- ©oedings of tho county authoritfes in es- tablishing the drainage district and order- ing the improvement made have been fir- regular from start to finish and not accord- ing to the law provifled In such cases. He further insists that no proper survey of the district to be drained has been made and in support of this assertion alleges that Engineer Tostevin, according to the report of the commissioners, was appointed March MU, 1908, and that on March 17, three days later, he made his report. That a proper survey could haye been made of the vast @area to be affected by the drainage scheme in three days Mr. Crawford insists 1s fm- possible, ¥rom Mr. Crawford's attorney it fs fearned that the suit is brought with the full determination to prevent the constryuo- Hon of the ditches acoording to the present plans, If possible, and that if the. distriot oourt rules against him Crawford will take $he case to the supreme court.

CONTEST FOR SUPREME REPRESENTATIVE nk Holds First on of Assembly—Atten: oreases Largely Dur! the Day. Formal One of the important matters to come before the Pythlan grand lodge at its meet- ing here this week is the proposition to | establish a sanitarium at Colfax for the | exclusive use and benefit of members of | the order. The committee having the mat- | ter In charge, consisting of Frank L. Locke of Bibley, 1. L, Stuart of Hampton, W. E. | Petersen of Davenport, D. W. Telford of | Mason City amd & M. Stayner of Colfax, will report favorably on the proposition {and urge its establlshment. The report formulated by the committee and which will be presented to the grand lodge Is as | tollows: BLUFFS. \ | | Favors Sanitariom. We, the committee on Pythian sanita- | rium, beg leave to report that we have | investigated as to the ad¢isability of locat- ing and bullding a Pythian sanitarfum at Colfax, Ia., and find the location admirable. Colfax {8 centrally located; it has tw {lines of rallroads and electric line connec- tlons with Des Mofnes, glving hourly | mervice. The curative properties of its mineral waters are generally recognized {as equal to any in the United States. Thousands of people annually visit Colfax for the benefits of its waters, and the rec- ords for the last two years show that a dally avepage of a trifle more than thirty- | one knights visit the varfous hotels-located % | there, - | | We find that similar institutions in other states are maintained by varlous orders, and are not only successfully operated, but , are a great'benefit to the respective’ fra- ternities. We are therefore heartily in favor of establishing a sanitarium at Col- |fax to be owned and operated by the Knights of Pythlas of the grand domain of lowa, and = herewlth submit a sketch for & modern bullding of forty rooms, the architect's estimate of which s $24,800. We recommend that a statute be passed as- sessing each lodge §1 per member, which assessment shall be payable In seml- | annual payments of 2 cents each, to erect sald building. Plan of Operation. The citizens of Calfax propose to:donate such locatlon as may be selected and pro- vide medical attendance for one year after | | 1ts occupancy. The object 18 to provide a sanitarfum for knights desiring to avail themselves of the benefits thereof at a mominal cost, and we submit the following plan for the operation and maintenance of the sanitarfum: Any knight sent thereto by any subordinate lodge, at its expense, Bhall be ‘entitled to the full benefts of the.| sanitarium at a nominal cost—not to ex- $ per-week. All other knights and ir familles to be charged from $i to 50 per day. Ahox: charges to Include ths, medical attendance and nurse, when necessary. All other persons to be charged the usual sanitarium rates. After careful inquiry and from the best information obtainable, your committee finds the cost will not exceed 60 cents per capita per diem. This estimate is based upon reports recelved from similar institu- tions, the cost of maintenance of which varies from 36 cents to 80 cents per capita| r dlem. This committee has not deemed [ idvisable to formulate any rules for the government of the sanitarium, for the rea- son that we are off the o‘l.umn that that matter rn.\llll \lll!hnllnly left to the board of control. .- ‘We recommend that a boll(genf control, eonsisting of three members, appolinted by the grand chancellor, one to serve one year, one two years and one three years, after which one shall be appointed each bL whose term of office 1l be three ‘ur-. The expenses and per diem of said rd of control to. be fixed by the grand lodge and paid out of the income from the ‘The " Coltax lodge has o large delega- tlon here boosting the sanitarium propo- sition, and is being ably assisted by a strong delegation from Des Moines. From Colfax are G. M. Tripp, J. P. Keipp, B. A. Brown, H. W. Wood, George D. Wood, M. B. Wheolock and A, A. Penquite. Sev- eral more from Colfax are expected here today to push the thing along. The propo- | sition will be submitted to the grand lodge for action Thursday morning, and indications are that it will be favorably recelved. Contest for Representative. The contest between Bernard Murphy of Vinton and Carl F. Kuehnle of Denison over the office of representptive to the supremo lodge 18 waxing warmer, and soems to be practically the all-absorbing toplo among the delegates now here. Mr. Kuehnle arrived yestorday morning with his campalgn manager, Ben I Sallinger of Carroll, and lost no thne in looking after his fences. The genial editor of the Vinton Eagle is equally busy. This con- test, it is expected, will be the bitterest | fight In the history of the Pythian grand lodge. Mrs. Isabelle Quinlan of Galesburg, su- preme chief of the Rathbone Sisters, ar- rived yesterday, as dfd Mrs. F. F, Mer- riam of Des Moines, secretary of the in- surance branch. Mrs. F. L. Ingman of Villisca, president of the insurance brnnrh.‘ was also among yesterday's arrivals. The three held a meeting yesterday afternoon | to formulate a report on the insurance branch to he presented at the meeting of the Rathbone Sisters on Wednesday. W. M, Narvis of Muscatine, grand mas- ter workman of the Anclent Order of United Workmen of lowa, arrived yester- day. He is official reporter of the Pythian | grand lodge. This afterncon the lodge of instruction will be held, and in the evening the vis- itors will be tendered a reception in the ball room of the *Grand hotel.

OPTION ON PINNEY PROPERTY Library Board Awaits Federal Court Ruling on the Pusey Home- Head, Large Number of People Granted Cer- e cates to Practice Medicine by The only action taken by the library the State Board of board at its regular monthly session last Examiners. night in regasd to the Carnegie buflding site was to accept an option on the Pinney —_— property for one year. The question of whether Frank Pusey's interest In the W. H. M. Posey homestead, selected as the site for the library bullding, was exempt or not from his liabilities is to be deter- mined by the federal court in New York today and this being the case no action relative to accepting the title was taken last night. Chairman Stewart of the committee to which was referred the abstract of title to examine stated that as administrator of the Thomas Officer estate and on behalf of the creditors of the Officer & Pusey bank he had filed In the federal court in | New York In the Frank Pusey bankruptey proceedings an objection to his interest in the property being declared exempt. It the court held that the property was not exempt then he expected it would be or- dered sold by a trustee and Frank Pusey's share of the proceeds of the sale distributed among his creditors. The option given by Mrs. Pusey on her property adjoining the Pusey homestead entitles the city at any time within one vear to purchase the houses and lots for $5,200.. In the event of a new sidewalk being laid before the purchase the city is to assume that tax. John M lvin, the newly appointed trustee, to succeed the late Finley Burke, was added to the committee, having in charge the matter of the title to the Car- negie building site, These resolutions on the death 6f Trustes Finley Burke were adopted: Whereas, A great misfortune has befal: len the board of trustees of the publle | Ibrary In the death of Finley Burke, one | because of his design for a badge the de- of its members, be it therefore |mand for them suddenly increased, and esolved, That the members of this board | recognized Mr. Burke as & man of umrun:;’"” numbers of them have been sold. character and exceptional ability, a man | The badge was designed to sell to help of culture and appreciation, broad and dis- | defray the expenses of the department criminating and at all times falr in his 4 fMiclals to the encampment.

(From a Staft Correspondent.y DES MOINES, Aug. 10.—(Special)—Tt is confidently belleved by those who are in- terested in the Grand Army excursions to San Franclsco that at least 1,000 Iowans will register at San Francisco headquar- ters during the next week. This afternoon a train of ten sleéping and one buffet car started from Des Moines over the Rock Island, and it was expected It would be more than filled before the borders of the state were reached. Similar trains have already gone over other roads and headed for the west through Omaha. Several of the delegates to the encampment were on the train which left this afternoon. Among others who accompanled this traln was Assistant Adjutant General Newman, who on the authority of the department en- campment itself designed and placed on sale the official lowa badge for the ex- cursionists, which has caused a storm in Grand Army circles. The offense consisted in placing on the badge the portrait ot the governor of Iowa. A great many of the Grand Army men labored under. the impression that it was to be a Grand Army badge, and protested, but quite a large number who made complaints did so on the ground that it was honoring A, B. Cummins, when they were unwilling to be a party to this. Factional political feeling still runs high in some sections of the state, and for a time it looked like 1t might be necessary to prepare a new badge, else only a few would be seen; but as soon as it was known that there was being waged a bitter warfare against Adjutant Newman Resolved, That a copy of these resolutions be sent to the family of Mrs. Burke and that they be spread on the records of this board.

It will probably be held in Dubuque before the close of the month. General Lincola's Ilineas, It 1s learned here that reports of the crit- lcal lliness of General J. R. Lincoln, mlll- tary instructor of the Iowa State college, were somewhat exaggerated, though he is fll from an old trouble which returns to him occaslonally. He has been many years at the head of the military department at Ames and is the colonel of the Fifty-ffth regiment, which is soon ta go to Fort Riley for an encampment with the regulars. A meeting of the trustees of the state college h: been called for Ames on Au- &ust 19, when the work of the coming year will be gone over with the new president, “rented’ $460.02, showing a balance of §1.16 on the credit side of the account.

Miss Cora Diller, the 16-year-old daughter of A. W. Diller, who lives on what fs known as the Gordon place at the head of Grabam avenue, was held up about 9 o'clock last night and robbed of her pocket- book, containing $5. Miss Diller delivers milk to a number of nelghboring familles and makes her rounds in the evening with a horse and buggy. She had completed her deliveries and was driving through the orchard on the Gordon Place to her home, when a man sprang from behind a tree and, thrust- Ing a revolver in the girl's face, ordered her to hand over her money, Miss Diller, thoroughly frightened, at once ecomplied with the demand and handed her pocket- book to the robber. The fellow then told her to drive on, and, running back through the trees, was soon loat in the darkness. The highwayman is thought to be some one acquainted with the fact that Miss Diller delivered milk every evening and walted for her return. McCreary Charged with Assault, Clyde McCreary was arrested yesterday charged with assaulting Jullus Hirsch, and in default of ball placed at $100 was com- mitted to the county jall to await the out- come of Hirsch'a injurles.

Tho representatives of the interurban raflroads made an argument tefore the executive council in opposition to assess- ing all the property of such lines as in- terurbans, clalming that the part ‘within the corporation limits should not be In- cluded. The council assessed the systems entire. Now the Waterloo & Cedar Fally road has commenced suit to prevent the collection of the taxes on Its line thus as- sessed and the matter will be tekted in the courts.

It is said that Clark hopes to get hls case taken to some other county, as the feeling 13 too bitter agalnst him around Kahoka. The negroes in that section, while urging Immediate trial of Clark, say that they do not think the of- ficers will be so lax in vigilance as to allo’ any mob to take him.

POSTOFFICE AIDS PUBLISHERS to Dellver Newspa- m Trains Oarry No Mafl Clerk. WASHINGTON, Aug. 10.—Postmaster General Payne has decided to try the ex- periment of employing bagsagemen on trains which are not provided with mail clerks to take charge of and deliver and open newspaper mail. This decision has been reached after much consideration, and in response to @ petition fled by many of the leading newspaper publishers of the country, who asked facilities for distrib- uting open bundles of papers along lines whers trains only carry closed pouches. There are & large number of such trains, and as the department is not represented by an employe on them the postmaster general declined to assume responsibllity for papers not enclosed in pouches. Second Assistant Postmaster General Shallenberger then suggested the expedi- ent of employing the baggageman to take charge of the mail in such cases, and the suggestion has been adopted. The plan contemplates that the baggagemasters shall be sworn in as postofiice employes and paid for thgir services. It is intended that they shall deliver the papers to those to whom they are addressed along the line from the cer doors, thus saving much time which would be lost in case the pa- pers were enclosed in the pouches, as this would necessitate their being taken to the local postaffice before they could be dellv- ered to agents, It {8 estimated that the cost of the ser- vice will be much less than if postoffice employes were supplied for all such trains.

The Constandinidi divorce suit ralsed the question of the jegality of Dakota divorces in England. The husband charged his wife with bigamously marrying Dr. Lanco, the tamily physician. Mr. Constandinidi obtained a judictal separation from his wife in 1590, John Lawson Walton, counsel for the petitioner, explained the subsequent proceedings as follows: This delicately nurtured lady of Bel-| gravia went 10 a wild distriot of the earth, | emigrated to the half settied state of Da- | kota, became an American citizen, stayed | #ix months there, fraudulently obtained a so-called divorce, and married the co-re- spondent there, thus using the lax Dakota laws for her own purpose. “This," continued Mr. Walton, “was the deed of clvilized jurisprudence. The jury, July 29, found against the re- | spondent and co-respondent and awarded $126,000 damages against Dr. Lanco, It also found the petitioner guflty on a counter charge.
