Tho city council decided last night that
tho motor company should be required to
live up to Its provisions of the ordinance
granting It the franchise under which It

made that the company had neglected to
replace crossings on South Ninth otreci,
where it had taken up the rails of the
old Mauawa line, and on South Sixth btrect
and Avenue C, where it had torn up the
tracks laid by the Suburban company last
year. These streets, it was reported, arn
almost Impassable nnd the crossings taken
up by the motor company have never been
replaced. Complaint was also mado thai
tho company since commencing to replace
its rails ou Avenue A with heavier steel
wau puttlug In twelve-foot plank crosslugs
whereas Its franchise provides that It
should plank the crossings the entire width
of the street, The name conditions are
said to prevail on Upper Ilroadway, where
the compeny Is laying new rails,
After considerable discussion the city
marshal ui instructed to notify the motor
company to replace the crossings on South
Ninth street without further delay nnd
the council will meet as a committee of
the whole Wtdnesday afternoon to go over

DES MOINES, May 13. (Special. )-The
charitable designs of a wealthy Iowa farmer
which nt flrtt seemed destined to bear no
fruit nro about to bo realized by reason cf
the wisdom of his sole surviving daughter.
Nine years ago N. Fojcrvary, a wealthy
farmer of Scott county, turned over to a
commlttco of three trustees his home and
a largo amount of property for the purpose
of establishing what Is known as the
Fcjervny Home for Old Farmers. Mr.
Fojcrvary desired especially to nsBlst farm
ers who had grown old and needed nsslst
nnco nnd he made It a condition of en
trnnco to the homo that the applicant must
have been born In the United States, nevtr
havo been convicted of crime, be over GO
years old and to have been engaged prac
tically for twenty years In farming In Scott
county, Iow.i, He died before It hecamo
evident to him that tho requirements mado
tho home almost useless.
Only six persons have ever sought the
comforts of this home nnd ns they were
nil advanced In life the number has been
reduced until at the present time there
Is but one old man lo enjoy the comforts
of the home Mr. Fejcrvary provided for
old fnrmers. The fact has long since been
renllzed by ihe trustees that nny native
American who has farmed continuously In
lown for twenty years doesn't need a
home provided by charity. The tole hair
of the estate is Miss Fojcrvary, now liv
ing In nuda I'esth. end she has forwarded
to tho trustees a modification of the tru'it
to the extent that they may ndmlt to tho
homo such old persons, residents of Scott
county, ns they may deem proper, provided
thnt n proference shnll nlwnys ho given to
nppllcants who fulfill the conditions pre
scribed by Mr. Fojcrvary.

The Union rnclflc Railroad company to
day filed Its ntnended articles of lucorpor

I capital was Increased to $103,160,100, March
1, 1899, the capital was Increased to $196,
' 178,700 and no feo was exacted. Now an
other $100,000,000 Is added nnd $2,000 Is
chnrged. The failure to exnet a fee on one
occasion was duo to the misapprehension of
tho law at that time. There is much com
plaint In Iowa over tho excessive fees re
quired for tho filing of articles of Incor
poration. Fire In Northern limn.
