Roy Kadel, a young farmer of York town- ship, while hunting Tuesday afternoon near the town of Minden, made the discovery of the decomposed body of & man lying by the side of a haystack. The body was di- vested of all clothing with the exception of a shirt and suit of underwear, and the closest search falled to reveal any other clothing tn the Immediate vicinity, The body was completely eovered with hay, and this fact, taken In conjunction with the absence of clothing, leads to the beliet that the body may have been placed there. The advanced state of decomposition indicated that the mdn had been dead for at least thirty days. An examination of the body falled to show any marks of violence. Justice of the Peace Minnehan and Under- taker Stuhr took oharge of the body and during the evening It was” Interred. The suthorities are Investigating, but up to last evening no ‘clue to the identity of the dead man had been obtalned. Real Eatate. Transters.

Marshalltown Defeats Franchise. MARSHALLTOWN, Ia, Dec. 2.-(Spe- clal)—In one of the most bitter municipal elections this city has ever passed through, which was held Monday, the people by a vote of 1415 tq 007 refiwed to grant to Derling & Schroeder of Chicago, elec- trieity, gas and street railway franchises to run twenty-five years. The principal reason the franchises were defeated was because there wus a well defined bellef that Darling & Schroeder were, in fact, Joues & Hovey, owners of the present tranchises for these utilities. The lattar's franchises expire in eight years. The campaign was mariked by personalities and bitter incriminations. Mayor Ingledue and a majority of the city council favored the franchises.

PIERRE, 8. D,, Dec. 2.—(Special.)—Atior- ney General Clark has given an opinion on request of States Attorney Anderson of Day county, which, if sustained by the courts, will be a hard blow to fllegal liquor selling and other offenses agalnst the law which carry with fines for such offenses, costs of the case. In that county a con- viction was secured In a case of illegal liquor selling and the penalty was a fine of 80 and costs, the total amount being $120.00. The question raised in his query by States Attorney Anderson was the power of the court to include imprisonment for fallure to pay costs as well as for fallure to pay the fine imposed. The attorney gen- eral, In a lengthy opinion on the subject, holds that the welght of authority-on the question 18 that such penalty can be im- posed. He holds that imprisonment for costs would in no way violate the bill of rights in the state constitution, and that such action would be valld. In a great many petty criminal cases In this state the party convicted serves out his fine, but is released as soon as that is done, on the theory that he cannot be compelled to serve Jall time for costs, But this stand of the attorney general puts the situation in a dif- ferent light. Rul Heating New Capitol. PIERRE, 8. D., Dec. 2.—(Special)—The hesting plant at the new capitol has been started, and the structure 18 now heing steam heated. There appears to be a ques- tion whether the state or the contractor is to stand the expenses of heating, which | will be settied at & meeting of the capitol commission next week. In the meantime | the state is paying for the coal. As the heating of the new bullding will make about three months difference in the time of its completion, and all parties concerned desire to get the work finished as early as possible, it is not likely that the ques- tion will be hard to adjust when the com- mission and contractor meet to talk it over.
