Rumors were current yesterday among local railroad men of probable changes In the near future In the management ot tbo Omaha & St. Louis road. These rumors are due to the fact that A. K. Stlllwell has regained control ot the Omaha & St. Louis and the Omaha , Kansas City & Eastern. A few days ago President Stlllwell sold to John W. Gates of Chicago , president of the Steel trust , $500,000 of the bonds of the Missouri Railway Construction company. This Is the company which built the gap between Trenton and Pattonsburc. result ing In the consolidation of the Omaha & St. Louis and the Omaha , Kansas City & Eastern , While A. n. Stlllwell was nominally presi dent of the two roads he was not In con trol , the roads being operated under the direction of the executive committee with headquarters In Now York City. H. S. Rlor- den , the recently appointed general man ager , reported direct to Theodore Oilman of Now York , chairman of the executive committee , but since President Stlllwell has regained control ho has been ordered to report direct to him. As General Manager Rlorden Is an appointee of the executive committee , local railroad men expect to see a change shortly and a now man placed In the position by President Stlllwell. It was rumored yesterday that B. S. Josselyn of this city would probably be Mr. Rlorden's successor. The $500,000 paid by John W. Gates for the bonds of the Missouri Railway Construc tion company Is to bo expended on the Im provement of the two roads at the rate of $100,000 uer month. Chnrncter of Grand I'lnxn. Colonel R C. Reed , who before ho be came financially involved owned the pleas ure resort known as Lake Manawa , takes exception to the manner In which the Grand Plaza is being run this season by W. W. Cole , and yesterday filed a petition in the district court. In which bo asks that the contract existing between Cole and C. R. Hannan , receiver ot the Lake Mnnawa Rail way company , bo ordered canceled. Colonel Reed , in addition , asks that Cole and Re ceiver Hannan bo restrained from con ducting any Illegal business In the Grand Plaza and from selling or offering for sale intoxicating liquors there. In his petition Colonel Reed sets up that Mr. Hannan as receiver of the Lake Manawa Railway company has charge and control of the park known as the Grand Plaza ; that on June 1 of this year he leased to Cole the park for the season under a written con tract which provided that Cole was to fur nish a vaudeville entertainment In the park "of nn entertaining and moral character" and to provide an orchestra of not less than eight pieces. The contract further provides , so Colonel Reed contends , that Cole should conduct none but a lawful busi ness In the park. As grounds for his complaint , Colonel Reed alleges that Cole has failed to live up to the terms of the contract to perform the conditions therein Imposed upon him. The colonel alleges that the character of the entertainment provided by Cole Is "unfit and inappropriate for the Grand Plaza and in no manner suited to the tastes of the regular and established trade of the park. " Further , Colonel Reed allegea that Cole has operated the park as though It was de signed and Intended as a beer garden , offerIng - Ing for sale beer , according to the custom adopted by the operators of beer gardens. Also that he has conducted the business in an unlawful manner and in such a manner as to greatTy Injure the reputation of the park as a high class resort for the good people ple of the community and thereby catering to a class of patronage that greatly injures the business of the park and street railway. Colonel Reed also complains that Cole has failed to provide the orchestra of not less than eight pieces , as provided In the con tract , nnd to properly advertise the ad vantages and heautlos of the resort.

TAX LEVY FOR 81 ATE OF IOWA Council I-Mxcn It nt 2.O Mill * Total ANMCNNcd Vnlnntlon Will Hcach About $ B25OOO,000. DBS MOINES , Aug. 11. ( Special Tele gram. ) The etato executive council today fixed the state tax levy at 2.9 mills for the ) last year of the biennial period , beginning July 1. The Twenty-seventh general assem bly fixed the amount to bo raised by state taxation for the last half of the period at $1,500,000. The total assessed valuation of the property of the state this year Is ap proximately $525,000,000. The levy will yield $22,500 In addition to the required sum if all taxes are collected. But it Is anticipated that there will be a surplus In the state treasury by January 1 , which will equal the average ot extraordinary appropriation made by the general assemblies. The new levy la three-tenths of a mill less than the levy fixed lost year. In addition to this reduction there has been a reduction of about $20,000,000 in the assessed valuation of property of the state. Every kind of property has been assessed at less than last year , except ono item of personal property , corporation stocks. It is probable that the total reduction in state taxes win amount to fully 10 per cent.

The real estate has decreased about $15,000,000. The personal property has decreased about $5,000,000. The telephones and telegraph corporations bavo increased about $100,000.

Clinncc lo Sell Feeder Stock. PIERIIE , S. D , Aug. 11. Special. Now that the rorn crop of Iowa is practically assured , the corn raisers are beglnnlnc to show un as purchasers of feeder ptock. A dozen from different Iowa points came In last evening and others are making Inquiries as to prices. The craze for such stock two years ago , when almost any price asked was paid , forced a number of buyers out of this market last season , the owners of feeder stock thinking they had another such a snap as that of the year before. If the holders of cattle are willing to take market prices they can dispose of a large amount of feeder stock hero this fall again , but If they keep prices in the clouds they will fall down again , as they did last year , and later In the season take a much lower price or be compelled to carry them another year.
