SUSPECTED MURDERER IS ARRESTED Applicants for Certificate sm Mine Hnstlneers Yonntc Girl Hies from Ot enl ml New Courthouse for Talk County. (From a Staff Correspondent.) DES MOINES, Oct. 19. (Special.) The republicans of Johnson county have got themselves In the same fix as tho democrats of Hamilton county and will not have their county ticket on the official ballots. The republican county committee failed to nlo the papers In time to gel In under the law, Tho omission was not known until the county auditor went to prepare the official ballots, when he discovered that the rcpub llcan county committee had utterly ncg lected tho matter ot giving official notice of tho nominations. Johnson county Is a close county and there Is a warm campaign on there, with the changes somewhat favoring tho republican ticket this year, but It Is believed there Is now no way the names of the county republican nominees can be got on the ticket. The republican nominee for representative from Johnson county. Dr. E. F. Clapp, this morning filed withdrawal notice. This leaves a clear field to tho democratic nominee, George W. Koontze, aa It Is understood tho republicans will not flit the vacancy. It is thought In Dcs Moines that the withdrawal of Dr. Clapp Is the re sult of the republicans' neglect to flic the nomination paper for tho county ticket and the probable falling off of the rcpub' llcan vote In the county In consequence of tho mistake made by the county convention officers In not certifying the nominations to the county auditor.

Whltlock bad formerly worked for Duchanan. A reward ot $600 for the conviction of the murderer has been offered by citizens of Columbia and the governor has been asked to Increase the roward, but has not yet done so. Ksnnilne Mine Engineers.

Have You Kver Ileen Thus Deceived The ability of "shrewd" (we should say dishonest) merchants to palm oft Imita tions of articles which have gained a repu tation and are demanded by name Is well known. As a glaring Instance of what can he done In this connection we namo ono well-known article of household use, As long ago as 1S82 the Michigan Stove com pany of Detroit, Chicago and Buffalo placed upon the market a complete line ot cook ing and heating apparatus for all kinds of fuel and of the highest possible degree of merit which they marketed under the namo of "Garland" Stoves 1 und Ranges, This name was applied to but the highest gradn or quality of each typo ot atovo or range and tho namo "Garland" has always stood ns the symbol of goods of first grade only, and are today tho only goods of their kind sold under any trade name which are not made In several qualities. Other stove makers commenced to apply a trade namo to lines ot goods varying In quality from very good down to the cheapest and most Inferior grades. Imitating the shape and stylo of the "Garland" trade mark, oven to the shape and arrangement of the let tering and copying the colors in "Oar land" posters, with the rosult that third and fourth grade Imitations of "Garlands" havo been sold as "Just as good," etc. Tho courts havo closed the factories of some ot these Imitators, enjoined others, and yet there aro those who escape the pale of the law and continue to dupe the public who are themselves to blame for not Insisting upon having a "Garlanr" and nothing else, Chicago Times-Herald.

Vet It Is (lenrrnlly Un derstoud In lip n Public ' rlner. Who owns Syndicate park? This Is a question which a committee ot taxpayers Is now trying to solve. Recently efforts have been made to sell this park to the city for $25,000 and the suggestion has beon made that bonds In this sum be voted for tho park. Tho scheme was briefly spoken of Ust winter when the new charter , was be. nit framed and a section Inserted permitting the city to vote bonds for park purposes. Since the charter has been In force the matter has been talked ot Informally, but no steps toward buying tho park from III J South Omaha Land company have beoli ir-l'.cn. Certain property owners now contend that the park belongs to the city and that the land company has no right to keep the park fenced. It Is asserted by those who pur chased lots along Twenty-third s r ot flout ing the park that at the time of the pur chaso the agent ot the land company as sured all buyers that Syndicate park was public park, and this statement alone Induced many to Invest. Along about 1832 the land company placed a high board fencj around the park, nnd thts fence remains. Access to the park can be obtained onlv by applying to the secretary of the land company or to the custodian. Some real estate dealers assert that when the land company placed property adjoining the park on the market maps and plats wcro lisucd showing that Syndicate park was a public park. A search of the real estate offices ytsterday for there old maps failed, as thay rave disappeared within the last fow months. One property owner whose residence faces the park said ho bought two lots with the understanding that the park wns public one, as was shown on the plats at that time. He, along with others, aro new working quietly to sec If tho land com pany cannot he forced In some way to fulfill Its promises made years ago and open Syn dicate park to the public. Just what stem) are contemplated cannot be made public at tbls time, but some Interesting develop ments are looked for before lone. Railroad Iniiirnveinenls. The big stone pier tor the Klkborn road located at the boulevard near Thirty-second street has been completed and work on tho other piers Is being rushed. This cast pier was constructed once, but the ground set tled and It was necessary to take off the stone and blast out the roncrcto In order that piles might be driven. All of the piers for the viaduct across Thirty-sixth street are completed and tho workmen are now ready for the Jron and steol. As this material Is so slow In arriv ing It Is doubtful If the bridge will be opened for travel this year. The south ap proach to this viaduct Is completed and graders are now working on tho nor.h -ap proach. This will be quite a task, a 30.000 yards ot dirt will havo to be moved to construct the approach according to the present plans.' Mannsier nnd Secretary Nnined. Republican headquarters have been opened In the Murphy block on Twcntv fourth street 'and commencing Monday the rooms will be In chargo of Joseph Koutsky, who has been appointed secretary. Ffrucc McCulloch has been tendered the position of manager and It is expected that he will accept. Both Mr. McCulloch and Mr. Kout sky are well versed In local politics and thev will doubtless carry on an aggressive cam paign. Clerk Prepnrlnsr Noticed, City Engineer Deal has completed tho work of compiling a list ot property owners on Q street who havo not compiled with the ordlnanco requiring tho laying ot per manent sidewalks. Walks of a permanent nature must be laid on both sides of Q street from Twenty-fourth west to Thirty third ttreat. When Engineer Beal checked up tho route ho found about fourteen pieces ot v;alk not yet laid. Notices will be sent to the property ownerj by the city clerk and unless the walks are laid within twenty days the city contractor will do the work and charge the cost to the abutting prop erty. Tho samo action has been taken on N street from Twentieth street west to Twenty-seventh street New Physical Director. Secretary Marsh of the local Young Men's Christian association announced s few days ago that ho had engaged Charles H. Wilson as physical director for the asso ciation, but a delay In the message sent caused Mr. Wilson to accept another posi tion. The secretary and directors now an nounce that W, G. T. Baker ot Glasgow, Mo,, has accepted the position and will arrive here on Tuesday ready for duty. Serious Clinrgri, Chief of Pollco Mitchell proposes to ft hi charges of burglary and robbery against Charles Glover and Theodoro McNumee for brisking Into the room ot John Andrews nnd robbing blm of $50. As was mentioned In Tho Bee of yesterday, Andrews was not seriously Injured by tho ussault mado upon him, but this fact will not, It Is stated, lessen tho seriousness of the offense. The chief expects to secure tho services of one of the assistant county attorneys on Mon day tor tho purpose of filing the necessary complaints. In tho meantlmo the mon sus pected ot the crime are being held on sus picion. City's Statement. Tho records In the office of tho city clerk show that of the 1901 levy, which amounted to $106,416, there has been ridded a balance of $6,017 from tho 1900 levy, $497 from the county road fund and $S92 from the Inter section paving fund, making a total of $113, 828 available for warrants. Of this total there has been 'drawn up to date the sum of $80,372, leaving a balance available for warrants of $33,445.
