OBJECTIONS TO THE WATER Poople South of Broadway Say They Have Encugh Which Belongs to Them. DRAINAGE FROM NORTH IS PILING IT ON Only Three Bids Submitted for the Paving Work Advertised to Be Dome During the Come ing Fall As had been anticipated, residents south of Braodway were present in force at the meeting of the city council last night to protest agatnst the water from the flooded | lonary and | district north of Broadway between Six- teenth and Twentleth streets being drained onto them. They complained that the heavy rains had given them all the water they needed and more too, but that since the channel was cut through Broadway thelr property was completely Inundated. This they did not think just. Alderman Fleming, on behalf of his constituents in the south- ern part of the city, urged that the cut across Broadway be lessened one-half and that 1t this was done the drain to Spoon | lake could then take care of the flow of water from north of Broadway. To this| Aldermen Lovett and Lougee, on behalf of the residents in the submerged district north of Broadway, would not Usten and | suggested as a remedy that the ditch aomn‘l to Bpoon lake be deepened and widened. The matter was discussed for over an hour | but no definite action taken. The aldermen will make a tour o6f Investigation today and see what will be the best to do to relleve the situation. A numerously signed petition was pre- sented asking that the council order the course of Indlan creek changed so as to empty Into Big lake in accordance with the plan suggested by City Engineer Btnyre| two or three years ago. The petitioners | suggested that if this could not be done that the bed of the creek be deepened and widened below Eighteenth street. - The ma ter was referred to the committee of the whole.

Plumb and two companions, Mike Shee- han and Mike Fahey, were arrested on complaint of Goth, who charged them with beating and robbing him In the Mil- waukee yards. Goth, who was employed as & section hand by the Milwaukee, made | the trip from Marion, Ia, in a box car, | in company with the three men arrested. | On reaching the local yards they beat | him into insensibility and robbed him of his savings.

Like Plumb he pleaded gullty to | the robbery and was sentenced to four years in the penitentiary, which he is now serving at Fort Madison. The notification recelved here yesterday that Plumb had been released on suspen- sion of sentence created considerable sur- prise, as Goth In his statement to the county attorney accused Plumb of being the principal in the assault and Plumb, Father than stand trial, entered a plea of | guilty. His parents did everything in thelr | power to secure their son's release, but the | authorities here declined to assist them in view of the fact that Plumb had pleaded gullty and the evidence clearly indicated his gullt. The notice recelved by Clerk Reed yes- terday conveys the information that| Plumb's release was granted on an af- | davit filed by the prosecuting witness, Fred Goth, that Plumb “was innocent of the crime.” Plumb's parents lived at the time of his | arrest in.

RAILROAD PILING UP COAL Has 200,000 Tons the Transfer ards. Union Pacific Stacked Up The Union Pacific ratiroad, in anticipation of a possible strike among the bituminous coal miners, has taken steps to lay in a goodly store of coal at this point. At the extreme south side of thg company's yards at the transfer depot over 200,000 tons of soft coal are stacked up alongside of the tracki For a half mile each side of the farthest track south coal is stacked up to a height of between eight and ten feet, while on each side of the adjoining track for over a quarter of a mile is to be seen the same coal heap. The greater part of this coal has been brought from Novinger, Mo., over the tracks of the Burlington road, while & small portion Is sald to be from Colorado. Not a pound of this Immense amount of coal, however, it is said, came from the Union Pacific's mines at Rock Springs and Hanna, Wyo. It s said that the Union Pa- cific is selling all the coal it can mine in Wyoming to the United States government for shipment to the Pacific coast and that by so doing and shipping from Missour! and Colorado it can make & handsome profit. For some time the Burlington has been bringing into the transfer yards between thirty and forty cars of coal a day for the Union Pacific and stacking it alongside the tracks in the yards at the transter depot.

REPUBLICAN LEADERS IN CONFERENCE State Candidates and Meet. with State Committee to Talk Over Coming Cam- Congressmen (From a Staft Correspondent.) DES MOINES, Aug. 31.—(Special.)—Presi- ssociation has returned to his home in Afton, but before going stated that in all probability the falr management will make an effort at the next session of the legislature to | secure an appropriation for the erection of a new agricultural hall with a dairy bulld- ing in connection, the same to be thor- oughly modern and fireproof. The build- ings on the state falr grounds now are all wooden structures that have been in use fifteen years or more and are unsuited to The state must begin to re- bufid them and do it better. The fair managers desire that the next step shall be the construction of a bullding such as indicated, and large enough to ac- commodate all the purely agricultural ex- nibits. An appropriation of $10,000 or $50,000 would make a good start in this direction | The assoclation has directed that work of making improvements shall go on steadily with the surplus funds avallable now, and that this shall be done with the expecta- tion that there will be a state falr next year, It Is the intention not to again omit any year on account of expositions or for other reasons. It is probable that Presi- dent Morrow will retire next winter and will be succeeded by C. E. Cameron of Buena Vista county, the present vice presi- dent of the association. J. C. Simpson, the secretary, s sure of re-election to his present position. Politieal Conference. A number of the republican leaders of the state and men in official position have arrived in the city to attend the conference with the republican state committee on Tuesday and opening of the campalgn headquarters, The entire state committee will be present and all the candidates for state office and the members of congress. It 1s unusual that the members of congre should be called into conference at a meet- ing to start a purely state campalgn, but owing to the importance of the campaign and its bearing on the situation in the state next year, Chairman Spence invited all the leading officials here, and it Is ex- pected that the work of the campaign will be started in, perfect harmony. All are confident and hopeful and express the be- lief that the republican majority will be normal in Iowa this year. The state com- mittee has been organized, with a finance committee and an executive committee to attend to the personal details of the cam- paign. The democrats have rooms engaged also and are ready to open the campalgn, which will begin about the middle of the month. Appointed a Recelver.

Loose and others from dolig business as an Insur- ance company under this name. The ap- plication was made by the state auditor and Insurance commissioner, and the al- legation was made that the company was never legally organized and never in fact had a chartér from the state authorizing it to do business. It was commenced and partly organized in Council Bluffs and then moved here and sold to a firm of ingur- ance agents who have been dolug business as an insurance company, and it is stated that they were writing policles in the company and selling them to persons by misrepresentation, The recelver will pro- ceed to wind up the business already done and close it out.

S8L—(Special Telegram.)—News has been received from Donnellson, Ia.! in Lee county, that David Blackburn, an ex-marshal of that town, was shot dead in an altercation with the present marshal, Ed. Reuther, today. No facts have been received. Blackburn was drunk in a saloon and Marshal Reuther tried to arrest him. Black- burn refused to go with the marshal where- upon the latter drew his revolver and fired five shots into Blackburn's heart all en- tering the breast within a radius of two inches, any one of which would have been fatsl. Blackburn died almost instantly. He was unarmed and had not threatened the marshal. It is sald the latter's motive was fear of a drunken man. Reuther was ar- rested and taken to Fort Madison for safe keeping.

He out- Tel- | lined the growth and development of oivil law and found no excuse in reason or fact for lynch law in any part of the United States. He complimefited this county with its history of a third of a century that has never had a muftder case before the court or a case of lynch law among the people. Postpone Methodint Conference.

LAST OF THE OLD GUARD Missourt Editor Pronounces syric ua Red Cloud in Sanwset Hou a Pane- His Red Cloud, chief of tha Sioux, Is dying. Hib frame shrunken, his skin shriveled, his arm palsied, his eyes bleared, his spirit broken, his power gone, his race scattered, his empire no more, the old man lies in a little tent one mile from the Pine Ridge agency In South Dakota. How' are the mighty fallen! This Red Cloud's estate now is a matter of a paltry ten acres—ten acres of virgin nature. Farms hedge it about, but no plow has turned its soil. Chief Red Cloud will die with reminders around him of the freedom of the one-time unfenced plains, with this little spot of wilderness to recall the fair and limitiess domain of which he was once lord. The government buflt him a house. But as old age came on he forsook it to abide in a tent. His only companion is his aged wife, who Is his ruler and the real chief of the Sfoux. When the squaw over- bears so haughty a chieftain, then is hu- millation complete. Now he seeks only to look out upon histen-acre kingdom and meditate upon the past. What a tragedy Is represented by this old man, and what a retrospect can he summon to mind! He knew the rich north- west when the buffalo roamed there. He knew the rolling plains and the silent for- ests before the white man trod them. He witnessed the white man's coming. He understood that the white man's domina- tion meant the gradual extinction of his race. By bravery and superior sagacity, in confiict with other ved men, he became a chief. By his determination to fight the whites while yet any hope of victory re- mained, he became chief of all the Sioux. And he fought desperately—no man ever fought more desperately—for thirty long years. Then he saw that he could do no more. His struggle meant only other and still other of his braves sacrificed. He buried the hatchet. He signed the peace paper. That was in fact the end, for he kept the peace agreement. His continued existence, doubtless, was a %orture. If his lite could have gone out when he signed away his title to his wide stretching prai- ries, he would have been better- pleased. The passing of the Indian was inevitable. But the wells of sentiment are stirred in contemplating how the red race was ground under the heels of civilization. It is such silent commentaries as the dying Red Cloud that cause us often for brief moments to regret the cost of progress. But we know that regret is fllogical, and that in fact the expiring gasp of the aged chief will be a faint echo of the Indlan problem which so long perplexed the administration of the west.~8t. Louls Republic. PROFESSOR HAD HIGH TIME Honeymoon Was Not Fassed Strictly According te Pro- His Although this little skerm may sound like pure romance, its truth can be at- tested. The professor and his family are old Brooklynites and this small comedy was played here not long since. The pro- | tessor, although still a young man, has | gained eminence In his profession and a | comfortable portion of this world's goods. For many years he admired women en | masse, but one fatal day he lost his equili- | brium and was captured by a very pretty girl, whose summer prey he became. The engagement proved a brief one. After a visit at his house and a glimpse into his | quiet, methodical life the young woman decided she could not live his way and they | separated—mutually pleased, if truth were | known. Now, the professor has a very | pretty sister, hardly out of high school, | whom he loves far above the love of most { brothers. Indeed, his flancee had been | openly jealous of pretty Joan. Therefore, when the professor found nhimself once more a free agent and gulltily complacent under the offered sympathy of friends and relatives his heart turned to Joan and that light-hearted young damsel became the owner of the sclitaire and then of all the other gifts returned from the fair one. | Going on from this a great plan formed ftself within the head of the professor and | he doubtless thought out the detalis while gravely demonstrating the intricacles of Euclid to a respectful class at college. When the high school closed and Joan was “finished off with honors he bought her the most bridal-looking outfit procur- able at short notice, had her taught to do | up her long braids and they started off on what he called a honeymoon. No lover | | ever gloated over his new treasure as the | professor aia over Joan. He beamed upon | her through his glasses at every turn. And Joan met him half way. They took the bridal suite of rooms everywhere and he | presented her with flowers every morning | ana sat In dusky corners at every oppor- tunity. He enjoyed to the full many of | inm pleasures of the honeymoon plus his | treedom. Little Joan had the great time ( of her life, for an yet her brother is to her | the most congenial companion the country can produce. As they stepped demurely from the Pullman when their train reached the Grand Central they were as happy a couple as every undertook a real honey- moon.
