Charles Owenby was bound over to the
grand Jury yesterday by Justice Cook on the
charge of stealing a wheel from B. M-
Williamson. The claim of the de-eiibe that
the crime , If any , was committed In No-
braska and therefore out of the jurlsd ctton
of the Iowa courts was ruled uut by tlm
court. Owenby was unable to furnish the'
J225 bond required and was oommlt'cJ to
the county Jail. W. S. Balrd , hla attorney. '
says Owenby Is In very bad shape phys
ically , having been suffering from heart dis
ease for a long time past. He was taken with
a paroxysm yesterday out on the street and
fell on the sidewalk In a dead tnlnt. The
bond required by the court was somewhat
lower than IP Usually required for orteiws
of that class , due probably to the fact that
Owenby , at a tlmo when no one Itnaw his
whereabouts , coolly gave himself up to the
ofllcers and wrote a letter with his own hand
to the Council Uluffs police , telling them to
come after him , and also where they could
find the stolen bicycle. He had been slrk 2nd
out of work , his relatives had rjdned to
help him and he had become desperate. He
gave himself up , apparently thinking that he
would be allowed to hunt for a job and cnrn
money to pay back the amount due Mr.
Williamson.

William Balchelor , one of the conductors
on the Manawa line , claims he was done an
Injustice In the articles that appeared in
some of the local papers with reference to an
episode that occurred a few nights ago. In
which he pulhd a gun on a young man named
WJnd and two of his companions. The fuss
was over the payment of fare , as It generally
Is on the Manawa line. He says the three
men refused to tell him what sort of work
they had been doing for Colonel Reed , and
ho therefore refused to carry them wltlnut
pay. They applied abusive epithets to him
several times , and when the train reached
the corner of Broadway and Ninth streets
they came toward him. Thinking he w.is on
the point of being whipped , he drew a pun
from his pocket , and , pointing It In their
direction , invited them to "git , " and they
promptly "got. " He denies that he was
frightened , however , for ho says that If lie
had been frightened the weapon would have
been sure to have exploded.

court yesterday asking for a reopening of
the caso. Ho claims he had been told
by the attorneys that tha court would payne
no attention to his wife's evldenco because
she was not a resident of Pottawattamle
county In good faith , but of Linn county ,
only coming here for the purpose of getting
the divorce. The court was deceived In her
evidence , he says , and he was deceived , too ,
for ho did not know that her claim would
be allowed until June 26 , when ho heard
that the divorce had already been granted.
He says be has a full defense to all her
charges.

Literary enterprise > io always precarious
ones. Dally newspaBejfs publish the newt ,
they are made attf'fictjvo to the general
public by editorial , , itocal , telegraphic and
general features , but Jltbrary papers are only
appreciated by the 'nW6 Intelligent people
who can be Interested "In stories , gossips ,
poetry , fine arts , descriptions of travel or details -
tails of fashion or flrcalrlMl performances.
If they are kept up tb a1 high standard they
are compelled to expend a good deal ot money
to employ first-class ptefary writers or story
writers. For thla reason the eastern mag
azines have been able to maintain their
popularity by employing well known writers ,
and by embellishing the articles by wood
cuts or photo-engravings. But this article Is
devoted to the matter of western und not
eastern enterprises.
The first venture was made In 1S30 , at
Vandalla ( then the capital of Illinois ) , and
the magazine was called the Illinois Monthly.
It contained fifty pages and was filled with
Interesting sketches of western life , Inter
spersed with poetry , articles on steamboat-
Ing , mineralogy and geology. James Hall ,
the publisher , moved his ofllco to Cincinnati
In 1831 , and the magazine showed an Im
provement In style and typography , but the
number of subscribers dIJ not Increase , and
Mr. Hall sunk all his spare money and was
compelled to stop the publication. The only
copies that , so far as the writer knows , were
preserved , were at the Mercantile library of
St. Louis.
In 1S4G Mr. L. A. Illne , a gentleman of
considerable literary ability , started a quar
terly magazine In Cincinnati called the Jour
nal and Review. It was devoted to articles
on wealth , mineralogy , geology and the like ,
and contained sketches of western life and ,
adventure and a few poems from western
writers. This magazine lived one year , and
a few copies can be found In the Cincinnati
libraries.
At that time no literary papers or maga
zines had been published In Chicago , and
those who had made attempts In St. Louis
were so chagrined at their failures that
they did not care to say much about them.
The first attempt that can be learned of
was \ made by Alphonse Wetmore & Sons
oii St. Louts , who started a weekly paper
iiT 1844 called the Saturday Evening Gazette.
The most Interesting articles were entitled
"Remlnlscenpes of the State of Missouri. "
In 1818 Mr. M. Tarver , a gentleman of some
literary ability , and T. F. Risk , a young
and prominent lawyer , started a monthly
Issue I : called the Western Journal. This
magazine was conducted with considerable
ability and attained a circulation of 1,800

pages , and the printing was done by Charless

streets. The Western Journal was devoted
BI t agriculture , manufactures , mechanic arts ,
Internal I Improvements , commerce and gen
eral literature , and contained some realiy
valuabls articles and descriptions of all the
manufacturing rI establishments at that time
In I St. Louis. But on the tombstone of this
magazine ! must be written the history which
tells that the publishers lost all their money.
Between 1850 and 1S65 several literary pa
pers were started , but they all failed or
were changed to represent some manufac
turing Interest. One of them was started
by J. W. Boonfleld , another by a gentle
man named Kennedy , and'another by Colonel
Charles E. Moss , lit tile fall of I860 Cap

J. L. Tracy was appointed editor and Charles
Spooner wrote the fine art articles and Miss
Jessie Wonnaee tne WoetrV. The Hesperian

never made any money. Sn Captain Allen ,
who married a daugHte 'Hf Captain McCune ,

Idea was to follow _ the _ , plan ot the New
York Homo Journal ! ln society matters , anc
fo publish articlea 'wrjttcn by western men
and women exclusivity. " * _
They engaged. PfoLV''L' Tracy as editor ,
Charles Spooner as literary and dramatic
critic and the following well known contrib
utors : Philip L. Ferguson ( "Jenks" of the
Democrat ) , John L. Bowman ( "Hans Patrick
Le Connor" of the old Republican ) , Myron
L. Coloney ( then financial editor ot the Dem
ocrat ) , William A. Thompson ( city editor o
the Republican ) , R. S. Elliott ( the sage e
Klrkwood , Mo. ) , Dr. Sam Illsbee ( a prom
Inent literary man of Cincinnati ) , Miss Jessie

Mrs. Annie Robertson Npxon ( who at thai
time edited the fashion department of the
Republican ) , D. Ivan Downs ( a promlnen

( who was well known as Jerusha Squires )
Mine. Maesene ( a Creole writer from Louts
lana ) , A. De Menll ( who now publishes thi e
Hesperian Monthly ) , Miss Ella Fttzpatrlck
and many others. With thls talented corpi
of contributors the Home Journal wai
launched on the sea -of journalism , with i
Sunday Issue of 4,000 copies ( a big Issue Ii
1SCT ) . But the expenses were too heavy
The Journal was twenty years In advance o
Its time , and the publishers lost $5,000 th' '
first year. After that it was run In the styli
of the New York Ledger , and paid falrlj
well for five years , when It was changed t' Q
a commercial paper , and Is now known a g
the Ago of Steel.
Then the ladles'tried their chill , and Mb-
Margaret L. Johnson published a slxty-pag
Illustrated magazine , fully equal to Godey'
at that time. The contributors were /.iini
R. Noxon. Ellen M. Mitchell , /lev. Carlo
Martyn , W. C. Cook , C. C. Elliott , Enrlqu
Palmer , Mrs. E. S. L. Thompson , Mrs. H. B
Crane , Mrs. A. O. Grubb and Mary E. Murt
feldt. Miss Johnson published the Ladles
Magazine until January , 1872 , and then tel a
out to Miss Julia M. Purlnton , who con
ducted It for two years.
In the fall of 1871 Mrs. Charbtte Smlt
started a magazlno called the Inland Monthly
assisted by L. U. Reavls , M. II. Housekeeper
Enrique Palmer , Belle Bush , Mrs. Mile
Sells and others.
This monthly lasted a yea
or two.
In 1880 the Weekly Spectator was starte
by Messrs. Jones , Page & . Beal , and attract :
considerable attention. John H. Reavls
Henry Moore and John A. Dillon were th
principal writers , and It was a pleasure t
read It. F. B. Knlphei and many other
wrote for it , and the dramatic and soclet
news were a special feature. Afterward
was run more as an advertising sheet , an
lasted about twelve years. *
But these hard days of literary failure
are , happily , things of the past. There
now a noticeable sign of Increas'ng tnteres
In literary work and publications In th
west , and the early etruggles of those ven
tures that previously literally "fought , bit1
and died" have paved the way to success fo
those now In existence , which are by n
means few In number or lacking In papula
Ity , not only In their own western homelan
but in other parts of the country as well.

DES MOINES , July 6. ( Special Telegram. )
Scenes of political activity In the republican
camp have been transferred to this city from
the country districts , and for the next few
days the leadlnc politicians and delegates
will swarm about the Savcry house and work
all sorts of schemes In the Interest of their
respective friends. The contest on the gov
ernorship Is the most remarkable the state
has seen for many years , there being no less
than seven distinct and avowed candidates ,
with several others who will receive the com
plimentary vote of their county delegation on
the first ballot. It Is definitely known that
no one can be nominated on the first ballot ,
and it Is more than probable that half a
dozen ballots 'will not settle the contest.
General Drake Is the leading candidate In
the point of delegates known to be for him
and Senator Harlon Is close second. Both
arrived today and established headquarters.
Both are In good spirits and hopeful. General
Drake this afternoon had 3f > 0 delegates figured
out as certain for him for the first ballot , and
Senator Marian counted on DOO , and each
hoped for more. Rooms have also been en
gaged by Colonel Ormsby , Senator Harsh ,
Secretary McFarland. Senator Conaway , Sen
ator Parrott and ex-Senator Kamrar , all can
didates for governor.
Judges Given and McCreary will contest
for the supreme Judgeshlp , and also have
rooms. Others who have engaged rooms at
the same hostelry and will arrive soon are'
H. G. . McMillan , James E. Blythe , John N.
Baldwin , S. T. Meservey , Congressmen Dolll-
ver and Henderson , Senator William B. Alli
son , F. C. Letts and G. B. Pray.
The latest figures on the governorship were
given out this evening as follows : Drake ,
360 ; Harlan , 290 ; McFarland , 181 ; Parrott ,
185 ; Harsh , 58 ; Ormtby , 38 ; Kamrar , 20 ;
Letts , 18 ; leaving ninety-three not placed , in
cluding" most of those elected today. An estl
mate , made by another calculator in the
city , puts a different face on the matter. He
gives Drake , 328 ; Harlan , 332 ; McFarland ,
243 ; Parrott , 175 ; Ormsby , 44 ; Kamrar , 23 ,
and Harsh , 68. All estimates , however , are
at fault as not taking Into account the un
known quantl'y ' of unlns'.ructed delegates , who
will really hold the balance of power.

From returns , based on reports from frlenJs
In each county , It was developed that Harsh
will have many more votes In the convention
than any estimate yet sent out has credited
him with. It Is significant that ho has
more instructed delegates than any other can
didate and has a majority of the votes tn his
congressional district , which Is also Drake's
district. The senator was seen tonight and
was Very 'hopeful. He opens his headquar

WATER POWER.
American and European Method * of
It In a Large Way.
The standard American method of utilizing
a large amount ot water power , says Cassler's
Magazine , has hitherto been to distribute the
water to the several consumers or mill own
ers by means of a system of head-races , so
called , with facilities for Its discharge at a
lower1 level , to be utilized as the owner or
lessee saw fit and generally on his own prem
ises. This led to long head canals and to
Insignificant tall-races , whereas the Niagara
plant consists of a common tail-race , a mile
and a half long , with comparatively Insignifi
cant head-races. The old-time water power
company sold or leased the right to draw a
definite quantity of water at defined times ,
with the privilege of discharging It at a
lower level and ttie mill owner did the rest :
whereas at Niagara Falls the right Is leased
to discharge a definite quantity of water Into
the tall-race tunnel , with the privilege of
drawing this quantity from the head canal ,
or from the river. But over and above this
the product power may be contracted for at
Niagara Falls , delivered on the shaft.
To create a large group of mill sites of
the older sort there was necessary. In the
first initance. a large , continuous body of
land , properly located for the purpose. If
this could not bo bought up secretly and In
large blocks the whole water power enterprise
would fall to como to fruition. In Europe ,
however , several such enterprises came Into
tolng In spite of the Inability of the pro
jectors to primarily buy tracts of land such
as have been described. This was done by
establishing central power stations near the
dam , or head canal and then transmitting the
power produced , Instead of the water to produce -
duce it. to the consumers or tnl.l owners ,
Up to within , say five years , this had always
been BCComplU'ned by means of wlro rope
transmission of power and It Is easy to see
that the Inventicn of the electrical transmis
sion of power would give this form of the
utilization of a large water power a great
impetus. Many such plants are , therefore.
already In existence , many are building , but
among them all no one Is probably so cele
brated and Is attracting the attention of all
Intelligent men as theone _ at Niagara Fulls.

DEATH WAS RELIEF TO HIM

Hnclv Whan iroiiml.
In a ramshackle cottage at Seventh and
Martha streets an old man breathed Ills last
jreatli some time yesterday amid surrounil-
ngs In comparison to which the grave must
have appeared a palace to him.
Ho was found with tlio lower part of Ills
liody stretched out upon a dirty apology for
a bed , the upper portion of his body leaning
agalntt tlie wall. He was perfectly naked ,
except for a blanket which wag spread oven
ills lower limbs. Flies were having an un-
lioly feast upon the exposed part of hla
body , which , appeared to ba only "a bony
frame , overspread with a tight skin , and
below the blanket vermin feasted. The Iious9
was almost bare , and what furnishings tliero
wore were of the scantiest , dirtiest and
filthiest.
While the old man apparently quietly came
to his death In such a place his son , accordIng -
Ing to his own statements , was hanging about
the saloons In the central part of the town.
He left home at 7 o'clock In the morning
and did not get back until 10:30 : last night , to
find his father dead , although he was not at
his work. He started at once for the police
station , and , half Intoxicated , he tumbled In an
hour and a half later and reported the death.
The coroner was notified and the body was
removed to the morgue. Death seemed to
