City
.Solicitor wiulsnnrth Declare
Prohibition luvnllil
Section 2 of tho city ordlnanco, known as
tho wide-tire ordinance, provides that It
shall bo unlawful for tho owner of -any
traction engine or vehicle with cog whosls.
with or without, load, to drive or allow or
permit tho samo to bo driven on any of
tho streets which aro paved with brick.
macadam or asphalt. Tho ordinance, so far
ns this section was concerned, was never
onforced and now tho ordlnanco has been
declared Invalid by City Solicitor Wads-
worth on two grounds
Tho first Is a technical ono and Is that.
Inasmuch tho substance of the section 2
was not embodied In the title, the measure
Is consequently of no effect. Secondly, City
Solicitor Wadsworth holds, that tho city
has not tho authority to prohibit the haul
lng of traction engines over paved streets
although It haH undoubtedly tho right to
regulato tho manner in which they shall bo
named.
Property owners on Sixth avenue, which
ls paved with brick, aro up In arms, as one
or tho largo Implement firms on Main
stroot has been continually hauling traction
engines with cogged wheels over tho pave
mcnt. They attempted to have the drivers
of tho machines arrested, but tho city
authorities declined to iutorfcre on tho
grounds that tho validity of the ordinance
had been questioned, and It wns understood
that tho city solicitor was drafting n now
ordlnanco to tako tho place of tho alleged
defectlvo one. As the property owners
failed to get any protection from the city
they asserted they would appeal to the
courts.
Attorney Aylosworth has been retained
by the property owners on the paved streets
and avenues In tho vicinity of Implement
row, and he stated yesterday that ho In
tended at tho next meeting of the city
council to Introduce an ordlnanco which w U
provido reasonable regulations fov tho
hauling of cogged wheeled traction engines
over paved streets. Property owners on
theso paved streets Insist that unless they
nro afforded some relief by the city thoy
will refuse to pay for the paving, as they
claim It ts ruined by tho hauling of those
heavy engines.
There Is a question whether the paving
. Is injured as claimed by hauling traction
engine, over It. With a view to ascertain-
J luu " i ' ""en namnge, lr any, tno

Tho county superintendent of Johnson
county has expressed a willingness to be-
como the candidate for superintendent of
public Instruction on tho ticket. Somo
troublo Is being stirred up at Davenport,
which was formerly democratic, on account
of a local flcht over n cas and electric
light contract and franchise. It Is claimed
tho company hag not lived up to Its agree-
ments, that It has dolled the people and is
making itself generally obnoxious as n cor
porntlon monopoly. Tho nttorncy for tho
company, who has become suddenly con
spicuous because of this local fight, has
been selected by the democratic state com'
mltteo to be temporary chairman of tho
stato convention and to deliver the keynote
address.
It was also decided nt tho meeting of tho
state committee that tho campaign Bhould
bo mado on state Issues, so ns to unite the
two branches of tho party, and to raako
much of alleged corporation Infiuenco In
Iowa rf publican politics. It was planned
that tho tcmpornry chairman should mnko

causo of tholr alleged subserviency to cor-
porntlons; but tho democrats of the eastern
part of tho stato nro now demanding that
another bo selected to make tho opening
speech In view of tho fact that tho mnn
selected to bo tcmpornry chairman is
closely Identified with a corporation which
is cngnged In a bitter tight with the people

purt of Spcclnl Committee
In Adopted.
DES MOINES. Juno 5. (Special.)
Tho most Importnnt action takon by the
synod of tho Evangelical church at its
Des Moines session was that taken this
afternoon In virtually deciding upon aban-1
donmcnt of tho mission field In Africa
ud concentration of missionary efforts at
homo and especially among the negroes
of tho south. Tho question of the relative
Importance of tho mission work In various
places has cnuscd a sharp division from
he first. It was upon thlx question that
ho synod divided when the matter of
election of a president ennut up. There
was u demand on the part of tho minority
that tho mission ork In Africa should
io extended and that an additional secre-
ary for that workk should bo employed,
Thn conservatives won In tho election and
have controlled the syno.d.
Today tho synod, after considerable dls-
cusslon, mlopted tho report of the spe
cial committee appointed by the moderator
to Investigate thn foreign mission field
and mnko a report and recommendations,
This report was presented by tho chairman,
Dr. Oiorgo H. Miller of Baltimore, this
morning, ond Is ns follows, having been
signed by all members of tho committee;
Hi-port of Spprliil Committee.
That recoKlilzlnir thn fnel nf thn lone
continuance of an effort made for the
evangelization of tho west const of Africa,
and realizing ns fully that the scene of
our operations there Is solemnly sacred
nvvnunu in me sacruico oi nonie, unseinsn
and hemic liven, us' well ns the cheerful
expenditure of viiHt sums of money; yet
recognizing at the same tlmo the dend-
llnesH of that I'lllnnln ntul Ihu mlili.rl furl
that we ns n crenprnl uvxn.l nf fh T.uhrnn
cnurcn novo no work among African in
in r own mnn ami nnnrn u-i. n.nnnnt fur
nish other than white men nnd women to
do that work nf Africa's cvangellzntlon;
And. nlso, being ronsclous that the en
orouchmuntH of civilization and tho pres
ence of other Christian ngeneles have
changed tho conditions of our mission field;
itemizing, aiso; unit to penetrate the in
tcrlor would neWKs!tntn nn immmllnrn nut
lay of vast sums of money In the construc
tion oi mans, wuicn noes not seem prac
ticable, the rude huts nf thn native nnd
their nnmodtc lives precluding this; there
fore, bo It
Ileolved Flrsti that we. ns n church, ex
press our fullest nntireclitlnn of nur work
nnil noble workers In their efforts thero
and realizing that our labors In the Dark
i. oniinoni nave achieved great good in tno
uplifting of that race, believing ns we do
nun u was lion h worn; yet in view ot mo
previous considerations, wo
Resolve. Second, that nur Hnnrd nf Fnr-
elgn Missions be authorized, If Providence
snail ho indicate, to tnKc such steps as
thoy may deem wlest nnd best ns to
tho tlmo nnd manner looking to the con
cluding of our missionary operations In
Africa, and placing tho same In such hands
ns may best carry on the same.
Kesoiven, i nn t a judical committee ue
creited with whom thn foreign board may
confer If they so desire.
Tho members of the synod confess that
tho mission work of tho church In Africa
has been n failure and that It would bo bet
ter to havo It brought to an end ns soon
an possible. While thero has been a fac
tion desirous of continuing the work, all
have acquiesced In tho report and action of
tho synod.
Tho synod devoted this morning to dls
ciitBlon of tho eighth annual report of the
Board of Education. A motion was made
to glvo oue-thlrd of the apportionment of
funds to trie board for tho ensuing blennlum
to Carthago collego at Carthago, HI., and
was diseased at length. Dr. Bnnnon of
Rockford, III., pleaded for allowance, for
tho collego, calling attention to the fact
thnt $2,900 had been pledged at the last
biennial, but bad not been paid. "It does
not mntter so much what theso newspaper
men say, that we nro a body of scrappers,"
ho said, "but don't let tho report go out
that wo break our faith."
Tho synod expects to adjourn Thursday
evening.
Kdnciitlnnnl Money Divided.
After a warm discussion this afternoon,
lead hy Prcsldont Ztugmund of Carthage
collego, at Carthage, Mo., It was decided to
devote one-third of the' apportionment for
education ($1,000) to that Institution the
next two years, the other $2,000 to he di
vided between Midland collego and Western
Theological seminary at Atchison, Kan.
It was nlso decided to mako the edu
cational apportionment 12 cents per capita.
It was decided to transfer tho property of
tho German Theological seminary at Chi
cago to George If. Kuollonbcrg, treasurer
of tho German seminary board, In considera
tion of n claim of $6,131 which ho holds
against It.
The report of tho treasurer of the board
of education showed thnt the apportion
ment for tho biennial period was $47,271,
but of this amount only $22,702 had been
received from tho synods. Tho report of
tho commltteo on colleges nnd seminaries
showed Midland collego to bo greatly In
need of funds. Western Theological sem
inary is In good condition, Wittenberg pros
porous nnd Carthago greatly Improved.
Nothing equnl to Prickly Ash Bitters for
removing that sluggish, bilious feeling, so
common In hot weather. It creates
strength, vigor, appotlto and cheerful
spirits.
