CLAIM TO FEAR DAMAGE TO VALUES
t'nll .Mci-(liiir for Tursdn,- Mght to
Devise n Wny to I'roleet Any
Hncrnncliinrn t Upon Their
Interest.
Persistent rumors that the Great West
ern proposes to enter Council Muffs In the
vicinity of Third street have aroused tho
property owners In the Third ward, who
fear that their property interests will be
Injured. A meeting to discuss the matter
has been called for Tuesday night at 8
o'clock In the county court house, to lay
plans for tho best means to protect their
Interests.
There is a rumor that the (Ireat Western
will try to Induce the city council to va
cate Ninth avenue from Third to Four
teenth street in order to provide it a right
of way through the city to connect with
the terminal company's tracks. This Is
doubted by thoso who profess to know and
they iay that the Great Western Intends
to buy every foot of Its right of way
through the city.
That persons acting for the Great West
ern are buying property In this section
of the city Is not questioned nnd numerous
optlous on lots have been secured recently
by a Arm of real estate dealers In this city.
Tho purchases of property supposed to be
for tho Great Western Indicate that It will
enter the city limits nt tho Graves' farm
east of tho paper mill and then go through
tho Gordon property at Sixteenth and
Graham avenues and from that point swing
around to Third street and run on the west
side of this street to Eleventh avenue. Tho
lot recently sold by the city at Third
street and Eleventh avenue Is said to have
been bought for tho railroad. Krom Third
street and Eleventh avenue tho line will
run diagonally through tho Rick, Spiers,
Ourelcr and old Hanthorn property lo
Fourth street and Ninth avenue, then run
along the south sldo of Ninth avenue to
Fourteenth street, whero connection will be
made with tho tracke of tho Omaha llrldge
& Terminal railroad. The recent pur
chase of considerable properly along Ninth
avenue is said to havo been for tho Great
Western.
Owners whoso property will not be bought
by the road fear that tho proximity of the
railroad tracks will Injure the valuo of
their holdings.
GIVES HOPE T0 CUNNINGHAM
Mtinrrmr Court's Decision In Tni Fer
ret Case A (Trots Council
lltiiffa.
The supremo court handed down a de
cision Saturday In a tax ferret capo from
Jasper county which has a direct bearing
on the suit brought In tho district court
here to havo declared null and void tho
contract entered into by the supervisors of
Pottawnttamlo county with F. M. Cunning
ham. The ruling of the supremo court
holds (hat tho tax ferret law Is not only
constitutional, but Is retroactive, but
penalties may not bo collected for any time
prior to 1S97, whon tho law took effect,
though tho enforcement of tho collection of
the taxes thomsetves may be made.
Tbo court holds thnt tho law does not
Impair contract obligations or vested rights
If It bo applied retroactively. This poln.
has a direct bearing on the caso at bar In
this country and Is adverse to tho conten
tion of Frank Shlnn, tho nominal plaintiff
In the suit brought to have Cunningham's
contract Invalidated. The county board
entered Into a contract with Cunningham
to ferret out property subject to taxation
which had either been omitted or withheld
from asessment, he to receive a sum equal
to CO per cent of nil money recovered lo
the county through his work. Subsequently
to tho entering of tho contract tho legisla
ture passed an nmendment to the law re
stricting tho remuneration of tax ferrets to
15 per cent of tho money recovered and
declaring null and void nil contracts madn
by counties unless tho tax ferret within
thirty days from the passago of the law
signlflod In writing his acceptance of tho 15
por cent remuneration. This Cunningham
rofused to do, contondlng that tho passage
of tho act could not Invalidate or Impair
his already existing contract. Shlnn In his
suit attnekod tho contract on, the grounds
that Cunningham had failed to aecopt the
15 per cent and that the 50 per cent basis
of remuneration was void and of no ac
count. Tho doclBlon of the supreme court
In the caso from Jasper county sustains
Cunningham and declares that the law as
amended by the legislature could not Im
pair then existing contracts.
At tho hearing before Judgo Wheeler ho
held lhat the county's contract with Cun
ningham could not bo Impaired by subse
quent legislation and In this ho Is sus
tained by the supremo court In Its ruling
Saturday. Judgo Wheeler, however, also
held that the law was not retroactive, but
ou this point tho supremo court revenues
him.
Shlnn also attacked tho contract on tho
grounds that tho remuneration agreed
upon bctweon tho county and Cunningham
was excessive and contrary to public policy.
This point was not passed upon In the ens a
from Jasper county by the supremo court.
In tho Jasper county case the supremo
court also holds that the mere fact that tho
tnxes wore not assessed on the omitted
property docs not defeat the law, for the
obligation to the county Is not a new one.
The subsequent listing of the omitted prop
erty Is merely tho correction of nn error.
The court further holds that the burden of
proof must rest on the county.
Tho decision of the supreme court la re
garded hero as sustaining Cunningham's
contract with tho county b6ard nnd tint
he will bo able to collect hla CO per cent re
muneration on nil money recovered Into
the county treasury unless whon tho Shlnn
suit Is tried before the supremo court It can
be knocked out on tho question of the re
muneration being excessive and contrary to
public policy.

And we shout with a loud volco that ho

Wo point the linger of scorn nt her If cho

"What Is tho latest wrinkle In trousers?"
And tho tailor showeth lilm that the waist
Is half nn Inch looser and the knee ono
Inch tighter and Uie foot Just about tho

And tho price two feel longer.
And tho coat, us tho tailor showeth him,
Is cut swaybacked, nnd hath n bustle of
feet around the tails thereof, and the but
tonholes must be so fnr npnrt or the man
will be out of stylo.
And necessarily deud to tho world.
And man nutteth hlmsolf In the garments
when they are done.
And he putteth upon the top of his head
a hat which huth n rim like unto the llango

thereof hath the appearanco of n dis

For his feet ho gettoth shoos thut are cut

And ho garbeth his feet also with socks
that can bo heard a mile off on a still

Which nlso havo open-work and drop

Also ho wearoth a shirt which hath tho

"Surely, I nm tho warmest proposition

"Verily, thero nro no other stnrters In tho

"And I nm glad In my heart that I nm

DES MOINES, Oct. 1J. (Special.) Fish
Commissioner George It. Lincoln Is en
gaged in Blocking the streams of Iowa with
young fish. Ycstorday .ie was at Ottumwa,
where he placed a carload of llsh In the
Dcs Moines river. A local association of
sportsmen was formed to too to It that tho
fish aro protected until they have scat
tered along tho river. The fish commis
sioner will this week tako a carload to
Perry for placing In the Coon river In tho
samo way. He hns calls lor about twenty
flvo carloads In different parts of the state,
but cannot supply more than half that
number. The fish are rrostly bass and
pickerel, but thero aro all kinds of llsh.
Some yearn ago the state had a suull llsh
hntchcry at Spirit like, but It has been
found that an abundant supply of young
fish can be taken every year In tho bayous
along the Mississippi river nbovo Sabula
and all the fish distributed to Iowa streams
aro from this source. Last year, owing
to high water, It wns almost Impossible
to secure nny fish, but this year they have
been easily taken and the streams of Iowa
will bo better stocked with gamy young
fish than ever before.
Successful Horse Slum.
The success of the Dcs Moines horse
show this year was such that tho promoters
plan for one on a large scale next year.
Thero will be a deficit approaching $3,000
In the finances of the horse show, duo
largely to tho unfavorable weather and
lack of facilities, and to obviate this It Is
proposed that a coliseum be built, bo that
the honso shows and similar entertain
ments can bo given Indoors. The show
brought to the city tho finest lot of horses
ever seen hero nnd It was well patronized
by the homo people. August Busch of St.
Louis, who had a number of fine horses
here, turned over nil his .winnings to tho
Homo for tho Aged In Des Moines.
The midway aggregation loft this morning.
The carnival association had to get out nn
attachment to secure Its shnro of the pro
ceeds of the midway shows, the owners
protostlng that the attendance for the week
had been bo poor that they could not afford
to make the division of gnto money.
State Institution Improvements.
Tho State Board of Control, In Its bien
nial report, now almost completed, will
ask the legislature for about JSOO.000 In ad
dition to the $1,250,000 required lo run the
various state Institutions. Tho JS0O.O0O Is
for permnncnt Improvements nnd Is about
the samo as tho sum expended In the pres
ent biennial period. The board wilt rec
ommend the purchaso of additional tracts
of land at the various state Institutions, so
that there will bo about 1,200 acres at each
one of tho four Insane hospltnta and '.'00
acres at Glentvood. This will uoccssltato
the purchase of .over 3,000 acres at an esti
mated cost of llliO.000. It Is desired that a
number of new buildings be provided for by
the next legislature. There should bo two
new cottages nt Glenwood, a new cottage at
Mltchellvllle, a building for n polytechnlcal
school at Eldora nnd n new chapel at
Marshalltnwn for tho Soldlors' Homo. A
new hosptnl Is Just about completed at
Glenwood, a power plant has been con
tracted for at Eldora, heat and lighting
plant- havo been built at several of tho
stale Institutions this year and a vast
amount of work Is being done nt Cherokee
on tho new Insane hospital. It Is planned
by tho board to establish a homo for epilep
tics, so that those who aro at the Institu
tion for Fceblo Minded, tho Insano hospitals
and In tho county almshouses can all ho
placod In a colony nnd bo cared for after
the manner of some other states.

Train Service Complaint.
Tho complaint of traveling men and
others In regard to the Inefficient servlco on
the Milwaukee railroad between Marlon and
Council Bluffs Is to bo again talton up by
the Stato Railroad commission. An ex
tensive petition to tho commissioners

of tho road on that section was filed with
tho commission last winter, but after con
ferences with the railroad officials the
complnlnants wUhdrow their papers nnd
tho commission dropped tho matter. At
that tlmo an extra accommodation train
was placed on the road. Now the com
mltteo of traveling men In charge of the
