Raacke ot Pasadena, Cal, who came to Councll Bluffs Thursday afternoon, since when no trace of him can be got. As he had ahout $700 on his person, his wife, who asked the police yesterday to assist in the search for him, fears that he may have met with foul play. Raacke, who is said to be a former news- paper man, is stopping at the Vienna hotel in Omaha. Thursday afternoon he left the hotel, telling his wife he was golog to see an attorney in the New York Life building and later would go over to Coun- cil Bluffs where, If he was wanted, he could be reached by calling up ‘phone No. 691, He did not return home Thursday night nd yesterday Mrs. Raacke learned that | he had not been to see the attorney in the New York Life bullding. She came to thi clty and found that her husband had been in Crow's saloon on West Broadway about 3 o'clock Thursday afternoon apd that when he left there he stated he was going across the road to the water works station to take a look at the machinery. Aw far as was learned yesterday he never reached the water works station. Mrs. Raacke s afraid her husband may { have met with foul play as he had been | drinking some and had nearly $i% on his | person. It is possible, however, that he may have become temporarily mentally de- ranged and wandered away. In 18% Raacke suffered & fracture of the skull, which was trepanaed. He is 46 years of age.

AWARD SIDEWALK CONTRACTS City Counell Lets Larg Artificial Stone Work., Amount of da Brick The city council at its meeting yesterday morning awarded the contracts for the artificial stone and brick sidewalks. The contract for the artificial stonewalks was awarded to E. A. Wickham on his bid of 14% cents cash, and 16% centa certificates, with 1 cent per square yard discount if permitted to take up and retaln old brick now in walks, otherwise property owners take up and retain brick. The contract calls for about 268,000 square feet of ar- tificlal stonewalk, but this probably will be reduced, as a number of walks will be cut out by the council. In awarding the contracts yesterday the eity council re- ved the right to cut out all walks it might deem fit. The contract for the six-foot brick walks went to L. C. Besley on his bid of 384 cents cash and $9% cents certificates; grad- ing, 20 cents cash and 22% cents certifi- cates. The contract calls for about 6,30 linear feet of six-foot brick, walks. Bes- ley also secured the contract'for the four- foot brick sidewalks on permanent grade on his bid of 2% cents cash and 274 cents certificates. John M. Harden was awarded the con- tract for the four-foot brick sidewalks cn temporary grades on his bld of 2 cents cash and 21.99 cents certificates, with grad- ing ranging from 20 to 33% cents, according to locallty. The contracts call for about 58,000 linéar feet of four-foot walks on per- manent and temporary grades. The assessment schedule for the grading on Third street and Fifth avenue, recently completed, was adopted and the cost or- dered taxed up agafnst the abutting prop- erty. Beginning Tuesday the aldermen will meet daily as a committee of the whole and make an Inspection of all brick walks or- dered replaced with artificlal stone. All protests of property owners against being required to replace their existing walks with artificial stone were referred to the committes of the whole to be acted on after the examination. The question of condemning the two- story brick buflding on Nerth Main street tmmediately north of the alley and owned by a Clifnaman, and the frame buflding on the opposite side of the street adjoining the alley was referred to the committee of the whole. Neal Has a Narrow Escap Charles Neal, a horseshoer in Sam Noble's blacksmith shop on North Main streat, had a remarkable escape from death Thursday evening. A fellow workman in | some manner struck a 22-calibre rifle which was banging muzzle down on the ‘wall, so as to discharge the weapon. The bullet struck a bolt and was split in two plece One plece struck Neal on the right side of the breast and passed clean ' through other plece struck Neal in the abdomen, making only & skin-deep - wound, then glanced down and tore a furrow in the left | thigh. Neal's wounds while painful, are not serfous. —_— FOUND DEAD BESIDE TRACK ers om Man's Person Indicate He Had Lived in Des Moines. ATLANTIC, Ia., Aug. 2l.—(Speclal Tele- —Shortly before 7 o'clock this morn- ing as B. B. Card was on his way to Polk Byrd's barns, west of this city, he found & man lying near the railroad track a short distance west of the river bridge. Think- ing that perhaps the man was asleep, Mr. | Card spoke to him. Receiving no reply, he made a closer examination, and found that the man was dead. Card returned to the city and yeported the fact to the raflroad officlals. Coroner Graham whs notified and in company with Sherifft Marshall and two or three others went to the scene. The dead man was in the ditch a few feet north of the track. He was lying face downward, his right arm under him and reaching toward the reglon of his heart and his head was plllowed upon his coat. There were no particular marks of vio- lence upon his person, though there was a small brulse on the forehead. The posi- tion of the body would indicate that de- ased had either laid down in an easy ttitude as possible or had been onnfully‘ placed as found. The man was of medium bulld, perhaps 30 years old, and dressed as a working man. He was of sandy complexion. When his clothing was examined nothing was found, aside from a few matches, a small looking glass, a scrap of a letter almost illegible, a recelpt from an ifronworkers' union for dues paid, issued to W. M. Kay and a recelpt for § from Willlam Burke for N. A. Crocker, written upon a plumbers’ uition leiterhead sng dated at Des Moines | on August 2, Coroner Graham telegraphed to the local plumbers’ union at Des Moines a short time after the body was brought to the undertaking rooms of J. L. Winne. A reply was recelved that a representative would be in this city to look into the mat- ter. A coroner's jury was impaneled shortly before 11 o'clock, but adjournment was taken pending the arrival of the man from Des Molnes, in the hope that he could identify the dead man, or at least throw some light on the matter.

STATE FAIR OPENING DAY Indioations that Bxhibit in All Lines Will Be Best Ever feen in State. ASK RECEIVER FOR INSURANCE COMPANY Senator T. D. Healey of Fort Dodge Anmounces He Will Not Be a (From a Staft Correspondent.) DES MOINES, Aug. 21.—(Special.)—The Towa state fair opened today and tomorrow will be devoted to placing exhibits. The outiook Is promising for a most excellent fair. Entrles have been made in all de- partments, indicating that the exhibition will surpass anything ever before seen in the state. The live stock departments are especlally crowded and the entries show & larger number of horses, cattle and hogs than ever before. A great many exhibitors are coming from distant places and many who have never been hers before. The managers have found It necessary to crowd up the animals in small space and to bulld additional barns. The machinery exhibit will be larger than usual, also, and much additional space has been found necessary for implements, fences and farm equip- ments. The management has spent about 30,000 this year in improvements, including a new stock judging pavilton for the swine | and sheep departments and brick walks, fences and new bulldings of various kinds. The method of getting to the falr has been !mproved by a new street car station in the grounds, so that passengers will be landed within the grounds and not at an outer gate. On the whole the prospect is oxcellent for & fine exhibition this year. Asking for a Reocelv In the district court this morning Judge Howe took up the matter of an application for a reoeiver for the German Mutual In- surance company of this clty, the applica- tion belng made by the attorney general and state ‘nsurance department. The com- pany was originally started in Council Bluffs, but was brought to Des Moines with- out legal authority and was sold to B. F. Loose and others, who were doing business with the company. The claim is made that the company was never fully organised and never had any written permission, in legal form, for the transaction of business and that despite the protests of the state in- surance department the officers continued to write policies, which the wttorney gen- eral alleges are worthless. He asks for an injunction to stop the doing of business in that name as well as for a recefvership. Owing to the absence of an attorney, the matter was not concluded, but will be on Monday next. The case is one of a number of similar ones in which {rregular insurance is sald to be done by companies organized on the mutual plan. Killed by a Train. B, L. Morris was killed by a train on the Rock Island this morning.. He was driving a peddler's wagon and crossed the tracks on East Fifth street in front of a train being backed up by a yard engine at slow pace.

News has been received of the where- abouts of George Mackown of Webster City, formerly manager of the felt shoe factory there. He departed mysteriously the first of last month about the time the shoe factory burned down, and after com- ing to Des Moines was not heard from again, © He has written a letter from Seattle saylng he will return and defend himself on sults that have been brought against him. It is alleged that he was decidedly irregular in his management of the factory and there is a very bitter feeling against him at Webster City. eting the Cut-Off. About a dozen work trains are operating along the line of the Milwaukee cut-oft from Muscatine to Rutledge. The con- tractors have agreed to have the roadbed ready for regular train service by the first of next month and while many obstacles have been met with, yet it is belleved the trains can start at that time. The work wi delayed early in the year, but has now been progressing finely for some time. New lowa Trolley Information has been recsived h dicating that a company in which members of the Armour Packing company are in- terested will back the projected interurban line from Omaha to Des Moines. It is belleved this will be a line entirely in- dependent of the one that is now being surveyed westward through Dallas Center, Guthrie Center, Audubon and Logan, and that it will be constructéd further south than this line and possibly south of the Rock Island raflroad. No direct evidence has been obtained here of the purposes of the company. The work on the Western lowa interurban, which Is being managed by local financlers, is progressing nicely and they say they will not need to ask for any outside ald for their project. Recelver for Clgar Makers. Judge Howe of the Polk district court this morning appointed B. Dean Fuller of this city, recelver for the clgar manufac- turing business of A. J. Marx & Co.

Hogs Stolen from the State, MARSHALLTOWN, Ia, Aug. 21.—(Spe- clal.)—Fourteen fine Duroc-Jersey hogs have been stolen from the state's pens at the Soldiers’ home in this city. At first it was supposed the hogs had gotten out of the pen and strayed away, but devel- opments Indicate that they were taken by thieves. Commandant Horton thinks the work was done by a party of not less than five men, as the theft was accomplished quickly and without any disturbance. DON'T OFFEND THE PORTER Magnates of Slee Assert Themaselves and the T which has especial interest In the season of vacation travel, comes from Chicago. The purport of it is that the sleeping car porters in the Pullman service are organizing a union to promote the suppression of tips from passengers. Committees are now at work on the conmstitution and by-laws of the organisation, and on the code of rules which it is to enforce. It s gravely an- nounced that those represented in this movement feel that their relf-respect would be safeguarded and life take on a more roseate hue generally If their atten- tions to the traveler could be divested of any mercenary element and they might feel that they were assisting to make him comfortable for the pure joy of being helpful and serviceable. It is their high purpose, therefore, to ask the public to aid them in stamping out the’ tip custom, 50 repugnant to every right-minded American, frrespective of race, color, or previous condition of servitude. There s, however, a preliminary step to be taken before this desirable result can be at- tained. The present scale of wages for sleeping-car porters is adjusted to the fact that the opportunities of the position have been deemed large enough to make it desirable, irrespective of the com- pensation it carries on the Pullman cem- pany's pay rolls. Hence, it will be neces- sary that the wages of the sleeping-car porter be increased to a figure represent- ing satisfactory compensation. If this is done, he will be In a position to cour- teously wave aside the degrading tip when tendered by the passenger whose | clothes he has just dusted over those of | the passenger who last recelved the same | gentle ministrations at hls hands, and, touching his cap, say with conscious | pride: “Excuse me, sir. Your {mpulses are | indublitably generous; but my services are amply remunerated by the corporation which employs me, and the union of which I am o member daes not condone the su- perfmposition vpon our liberal emolument of a surreptitious usufruct of eleemosy- nary quarters,” or words to that effect. Such a formula would delight the heart of the expansive Ethiope in uniform, and its effect upon the passenger who had made the mistake of tendering a tip would be all that could be desired. His appro- priate reply ‘would be: “Noble fellow T'll not give you a cent” No doubt the establishment of such an understanding with the traveling public would change the porter's status quickly and completely, Thereafter he might with great propriety resent any expression of ‘mpatlence it he calmly ignored the request of a sleepy passenger to have his berth made up forthwith, and left it until the last as a merited rebuke to selfishness. He could smear one's shoes with the customary | sleeping-car mixture of crude pelrnlvum,l molasses and plumbago without a qualm | of consclence, sustained and soothed by an | unfaltering trust that what cost the pas. | pengers nothing was worth it. He could | make his morning rounds an hour and a half outside the terminal station with the customary lle that the train is due to ar- rive in fifteen minutes, and not feel that his mendacity imperiled anything of | greater value than his immortal soul. It would secm as if the management of the Pullman company should regard this change with great satisfaction, as of pub- e Interest and calculated to Increase the popularity of thelr service. We under- | stand, however, that their natural im- pulse of co-operation with the porters in | thelr laudable effort at self-elevation is restrained by a lurking suspicion that whatever the scale of wages agreed to, the demand for the customary tip would continue as Insistent as at present, and that the traveler classified as intangible, in the sense that he could not be “touched,” would fare as badly then as now. This is unfortunate, but it suggests a way in which the public can assist the porters in accomplishing their laudable object, which, like all reforms of ancient abuses, involves some temporary sacrifice, Knowing how the porters feel about tips, | let those whn ide In sleepers generously | | refrain herciifter from offering them. This will compe! Pullman company to re- vise Its wage tar!ff to retain its servants, and very soon the new order would be established to the satisfaction of all con- cerned. No right-minded person would voluntarily do anything to humiliate a sleeping-car porter, hurt his feelings, or repress his vearnings for a higher plane of self-respect, and since the tip does all this the tip must go.—New York Times, A Stupendous Enterprise. “Rafferty,” sald Mr. Dolan, “are yez payin’ attintion till the trusts?” “I am that.” | “Do yez think they're going to swallow up the country?" | “I had me suspicions.
