John (lehrman, until recently a resident
of Ncola, this county, began suit In thn
district court yesterday against S. Mailson,
keeper of a saloon at Hroadway and Bryant
street, and Under & Filter, owners of a
saloon aC Broadway and Tenth street,
$5,000 damages being asked for In each
case. (Ichrmnn alleges that on Juno tl
of Inst jenr his two daughters, Carrie nnd
Hester, both girls being minors, were
served with Intoxicating drinks lu the fc.i-
loons conducted by the defendants, and to
that circumstance ho attributes the loss
of their reputation. In each caso $1,300
of the Amount sued for Is named as ex
emplary damages.
A year or moro ago Mayor Jennings Is
sued an order to Chief of Pollco Albro to
close all tho wine rooms In tho city. At
far as certain saloons wero concerned this
order was enforced, but the order was al
lowed to become a dead letter as to several
saloons, wheru tho wine rooms were on the
second floor. This was especially true ot
"tho Senate," a saloon at Hroadway nnd
Bryant, within a stone's throw of the city
hall nnd pollco Btntlon, Frequent com
plaints were made to tho authorities
about the place, but no notice was
over taken of them nnd tho wlno room
over tho Senate saloon were permitted to
flourish. This place has for several years
had a bad reputation.
When asked a number ot tlnics why ho
permitted thu wlno rooms in tho Senate to
lie kept open after he had ordered all such
plates closed Mayor Jennings Invariably re
piled: "I havo no Information that there
aro wlno rooms there." Chief Albro nlso
denied knowledge of tho conditions prevail
lng there.
Tbo saloon nt Tenth street and Broadway
is a two-story frame building. Rooms on
tho second floor nnd In tho rear of the sa
loon wero used as wine rooms, but the
proprietors deny that they have been used
as such since Mayor Jennings ordered such
places closed. This salocn has never borne
ii savory reputation.

Copies of tho new ordinance providing
for the repairing ot defective sidewalks nnd
assessing tho cost thereof to tho abutting
rioperty wero distributed among the mem
bers ot tho city council yesterday, so they
could Inform themselves as to its merits
when it comes up tdr'passage at the, next
meeting. Tho bad condition ot the side
walks In many parts of the city makes tho
ordinance ncccsiury,
Tho ordlnnncc provides that It shall be
tho duty of tho street supervisor to re
port all defcctlvo or dangerous sidewalks
and tho council may, when deemed ad
vlsablo or necessary, order such sidewalk;

property owner and may nssess the cost
of tho same against tho abutting property.
When tho council orders any repairs to
bo made to any sidewalk tho owner, agent
or occupant of the abutting property shall
be notified, tho notice being signed by tho
street supervisor, or if no such person
can bo found, n notice shall be posted on
tho lot. In cases whern notice Is given
by posting and the repairs nro not mail
within tho required tlmo It shall bo the
duty ot tho city council nt tho expiration
of such tlmo to cause tho repairs to L
mado as soon as possible. The street su
pervisor shall report all expenses Incurred
in making such repairs tq the city council,
giving a full description of tho property,
etc., and tho expense ahull ho paid out of
tho Improvement fund. Tho council will
then lovy tho same, with all coats Incurred,
as a special tax against tho, property In
front of which the sidewalks wero repaired,
Such assessments may bo by resolution
and In form similar to tho assessments ttk-
the construction ot permanent sidewalks
and shall be levied, assessed and certified
to the county auditor to he placed upon the
tax books and collected tho samo as other
special assessments for street Improve
ments. When such assessments aro col
lected they Bhall bo turned Into the Im
provement fund.
Whenever any sidewalk Is In such n dan
gerous condition as to demand Immediate
attention nnd repair the samo may be re
paired by tho street supervisor without
notlco being given to tho nbuttlng property
owner nnd the expenso of same shall bo
assessed up as before.
Tho city has n number of damngo suits
on Its hands ns n result of defcctlvo side

limtou. DES MOINES, March 13. (Special.) The
people of Dcs Molnrs arc to be asked by
two separate groups of railroad promoters
to vote a tax In nld of these separate rail
roads. One 1.1 the projected route of the
Illinois Central from lown Falls Into Des
Moines by way of Nevada, and tho other
is tho project for the construction of a
railroad oast from Des Molnrs to parallel
the Rock Island to Iowa City. The lowu
Falls project is headed by E. H. Ellsworth
ot Iowa Fulls snd the route Is already sur
veyed. It passes through a lino country
and one where rnllroiul construction will
bo comparatively easy. The main value
of the road If constructed Mould be to af
ford nu entrance of the Illinois Central
and tho Cedar Hnplds Hue Into Dcs Molncs.
The eastern railroad Is organized by F.
M. Ilubbcll of this clly, the owner ot tho
new union depot. It was expected when
tho union depot was built that the Rock
Island road would go Into the depot and nn
effort was mado to secure u contract of
this klud. 'nstead, the Rock Island com
pnny constructed n tine now depot for Itself
only hall a block from the union depot.
Now It Is proposed to parallel the Itock
Island In territory which has beeu ex
clusively controlled by the Rock Island
heretofore. Each of tho companies has
planned to ask a 1 per cent tax on Dcs
Moines property. Their conflicting Interests
will destroy thu possibility ot cither com
pany securing tbo subsidy.

Prof. Samuel Calvin, stnto geologist, In
preparing his annual report on tho geology
of lown, makes answer to those who havo
been contending ,that valuable new min
erals will be found In this stntc, especially
oil, gold and gas. Recently there were
extravagant reports made of tho discovery
of oil In northwestern Iowa, near Sioux
City, and gas has been reported nt a num
ber ot places. Prof. Calvin shows from
tho naturo of tho geologic formations in
Iowa that It Is Impossible for nny largo
quantities of any ot these things to be found
In Iowa soil." 'Gis has' been discovered In
small quantities In Dallas county nnd other
portions ot the stntc adjacent to coal
fields, but not in considerable amounts.
As to gold and lircclous metals, theso can
only exist In lown In small surface de
posits. The geologic features of Iowa have
beeu thoroughly Investigated by competent
geologists for many years nnd but llttlo
remains to bo discovered now. Coal Is the
only mineral ot grcnt valuo beneath Iowa.

that Commissioner Jones will visit them
nt that tlmo and investigate tho other nu

Indians seriously complain ot tbo schools

Tho survey of tho new line of tho Milwau

pructlcnlly completed. This Is the line
which Is to ninko a shorter route of tho
Milwaukee between Kansas City and Chi
cago, ho that tho tralim will not go by way
of Marlon. Tho people of Washington
found that the survey leaves their town
out about three mllc3, nnd this week they
hold a meeting to consider the matter. They
sent Colonel D. J. Palmer of the Iowa
railroad commissioners to Chicago In In
terview the railroad officials and to Induco
them to run tho new lino Into Washington.
It Is probable that tho survey will bo

Fear of ll ui-oiiliiililn,
Thero Is a well grounded fear of hydro
phobia among tho furmors of Richland

rabies, made the rounds of tho neighbor
hood ri nd hit seven head ot cattlo and
tv.enty-flvo hogs belonging to E. S, Shad
and killed thlrty-flvo chickens nnd bit one
cow belonging lo Mr. Chapman. Tho dog
nlso attacked and bit a 16-ycar-old daugh
ter of Mr. Chapman hcfoio It wns killed
Thero was no doubt In tho minds of the
farmers that the dog wos mad when It
committed theso depredations. Ab yet tho
only evil effects of tho dog's ravages arc In

est wns exhibited In all of the executive
Icpartmctits throughout the day In thu
reports that came ns lo the condition ot
ex-Presldcnt Harrison. As olik-e hours
had closed for tho day before the end came,
tho first official action regarding the death
will be deferred until tomorrow, when, fol
lowing precedents, President McKlnlry will
Issue his proslamatlon to tho people, notify
lng them of General Harrison's death and
setting out In becoming terms his virtues
and characteristics. He also will order,
salutes to bo fired nt tbo various army
posts tho day of tho funeral and on ship
board when tho news Is received,
The secretary of war and the secretary
of Iho navy will send out special notices
to soldiers and sailors conveying tin
president's directions lu this matter. Llt
tlo moro can be dono officially, as the net
of March 3, 1893, specifically forbids the
draping of public buildings In mourning or
tho closing of the executive departments on
the ocraaan of tho death of nn cxofflclal.
It Is a curious fact that two orders Issued
by President Harrison himself probably
brought nbout the enactment of this law.
Janaury 18, 1833, the president was obliged
to Irstio an order announcing the .death of
ex-President Hayes, closing the depart
ments on the day of the funeral and or
dering nil public buildings to bo drnped
In mourning. Almost leforo this period
of mourning had expired ex-Secretary
nialno died nnd another funeral proclama
tion Issued from the White Houe. The
long rontlnuat Ion of (ho exhibitions or
mourning wns too much for congress, which
promptly passed the act above referred to,
prohibiting mourning display and the
closing of tho departments on the occasion
ot the death of an ex-ofllcl.il.
The lato President Harrison wot per
sonally known to every member of the
cabinet and nil Its members In the city
spoke today In praise of his magnificent
Intellectuality and rugged force of char
acter. Ail in In 1st ration's I'riieliiiiiiillon.
Naturally tho proclamation the president
will Issue netting out the administration's
estimate of General Harrison's character
In a largo measure will Include tho per

and consequently thoy did not, in most
enscs, care to enter Into extended analysis
of the good qualities ot tho deceased. Sec

Postmaster General Smith was expected to
return to Washington tonight.
Secretary of Stato Hay said: "Tho death
of Mr. Harrison. Is u nntlnmtl loss. Inde
pendent of the great official position ho
had held, he was a man ot extraordinary
mental capacity and activity. Mo was a
true statesman, lawyer and orator nnd he
has left few men his equals behind him.
In character, as well as abilities, he was
a man of very unusual force and value."
Secretary Long said: "President Har
rison mado a distinguished record as presi
dent of the United States. He was n con
scientious, painstaking chief magistrate ot
absolute Integrity who maintained the honor
and prcstlgo ot his country, and whoso
highest ambition wns to do his duty toward
and servo the best interests ot thnt coun
try."
Secretary of Agrlculturo Wilson said:
President Harrison was one of our strong
presidents, Ho was "a man of unques
tioned ability and made an Impression upon
lhe country that will challenge tho Investi
gation of the historians."
Secretary ot tho Interior Hitchcock said:
Ex-Presldcnt Harrison wns a descendant
ot nn illustrious grandfather, and their
countrymon will ever recall with gratltudo
nnd admiration tho work ot both In tho
development, and exaltation of our coun
try.
Senator lleverlditeV I'.stliiiule.
Senator Ilovcrldgo of Indiana said: "Tho
death of this extraordinary man is a na
tional loss. His last years wero the most
distinguished and Influential of his bril
liant career. Tbo power of his defense
of the nation's financial honor in 1806 wns
as tremendous as his efforts were disin

though unmarked by any great landmark
ot world-wide and historical concern, iVas
a model of that wise, cautious, conserva
tive nnd firm conduct of government upon
which, after all, the ordinary and continu

I iii'oiiselous,
INDIANAPOLIS, March 13,-Froin one
who was present nt the deathbed II Is
learned that the allegations of cruelty and
Injustice dealt out by England to the Uocrs
In their struggle for liberty had been i.
subject for thought lu the mind of General
Harrison. To his friends he had often
spoken of the pity nnd shame, as he viewed
It, thnt the brave and sturdy farmers or
South Africa should he robbed of their
country, of nil they havo In tho world,
nnd forced lo submit In terrible miseries In
resisting tho oppicssluus of a world power.
General Harrison, It Is staled, would
havo liked notlitnp better than to come out
frankly and strongly say to everyone what
ho thought of England's cruelty. II. wns In
his mind constantly, hut he believed an ex
president should observe tho same proprle
ties of Bpcech which are observed by a
president ot the United Stntes. He was at
all times careful not to say anything which
could be construed Into n seeming disre
gard for tho dignity of the high olllco
which he onco held.
In his semi-conscious conditions, when
tho sentinels of discretion nnd propriety
had gone from their posts and the mind of
tho man was wandering, ho began to sprnk
of the Doers and their hopeless struggle
for national life. His voice wns weak unit
trembling, his thoughts wero not connected,
but the listeners bending over him could
hear words of pity for the dying farmer
republic.
