Iliiplnf Infait it Hallway. DAUGHTER CUIUS "WHAT'LL MAMMA SAY?" Jlenil of the lnuno n in lies tn Police ' fnr llrllrf from flonmlnlnnn Per plexity llcterllve Weir Solid Ihe Myaterj, Albert Dlngman, a baker of 2S North Main street, rushed Into tho police station yesterday afternoon In n great stato of ex citement. Homebody had left a strange baby at his bouse and as ho was fn no way responsible for tho youngster ho wanted the police to loso no tlmo In finding its mother or tbo person who bad left It at his home, "Good heavens," he said, "what will my wlfn think when sho comca home? The oaby doesn't belong to me, I am not re sponsible for It and I am sure I don't know why anyone should want to scandalize me so." When Dlngraan became somewhat col lected he told the police that on returning from work yesterday afternoon he found the Infant In a baby carriage In tho hall way of his house. As (here was no one at homo ho took It Indoors. Ills daughter ar rived home ft few minutes later from visit lng a nearby neighbor, She professed to know nothing about the little one or bow it came to ho where her father had found It. To make matters, worse she hinted to her father that her mother would think It strange that a baby had been left at their house. This settled the matter with Dingman and without waiting to put on his hat he rushed' off to the police station. When he lold his story there Dctcetlvo Weir was detailed on the caso with Instructions to locate the owner ot the Infant "as soon as possible. As a Etsrtlng clue the detective decided to get a description of the baby and with that purpose In view went direct to tho Dlngman domicile. Hero he met the daugh ter and she, soclng tho joke had been car ried far enough, Informed him that tho baby belonged to a married friend of hers who had left the city on a short visit and during her absence sho had promised to take care of the little one. She said her father appeared so excited nbout finding the child that sho kept up the Joko just for fun. Deteetlvo Weir was not at all pleased at bolng sent on a wild goose chaso and he almost frightened the young woman Into hysteria by threatening to arrest her. WANTS HALF HIS MONEY Mrs. Kanlgand'a Itlchtcr Mnen John rattrraon for Five Thnnasnd Ool Inra for Ilreack of Promise. Mrs. Kunlguda Rtchter brought suit in the district court yesterday to recover from John Patterson the' sum ot $5,000 as salve for' her feelings and affections, which sho claims have been severely wounded by Pat terson falling to carry out his promise to marry her and wedding another woman lu stcad. Mrs. Rlcbter nets forth In her petition that Ta Hereon began paying her attention and kocping company with her In June, 1300. taking her boat riding and to the parks, also frequently vUltlng her at her homo. As a result, sho says, Patterson asked her to bscomo his wife and on her con senting promised to .marry her during the AK-Sar-Ilcn carnival In the fall of that year. As a proof of his Intentions at that time Mrs. Rlchter relates that while Pat ttrson was paying her attention ho nccora ponled her to a dentist In Omaha and made arrangements for dental work for the plain tiff and there Informed' tho dentist that the plaintiff was his Intended wife and directed the dentist that the work bo done at his expense. On another occasion, Mrs. Rlchter alleges, Tattcrson went to the home of her daughter and there In the presence of herself In formed the daughter and husband of the fact ot tbo coming marriage between him self and plaintiff. Thoro was, however, a slip, 'twlx the cun and Up and the wedding bells when they rang were for another Mrs. Patterson, as according to Mrs. Rlrnter's complaint. Patterson about the time he had agreed to marry her became the husband of another woman. Mrs. Rlchter avers that Patterson worth at least $10,000 and asks the court to give her judgment for half of thU as compensa tion' for her wounded and blighted affep tlens.

GARNISHMENT OF WAGES Constltntlonnllty of I.mw Is to fie Tented In HIkIipsI Conrts ,VrN; of lotvn. Justice Ilryant yesterday sustained the motion of the plaintiff to strike out the inswcr of the defendant, J, Costcllo of Orand Island, Neb., In ono of the Union I'aclflo garnishment cases attacking the constitutionality of tho law and an appeal was at once taken to the district court and from there tho railway company will, It necessary, take it to the United States su premo court. This caso Is one of tho four In which Nebraska creditors assigned their claims In ortior to evade the Nebraska law and take advantage of the garnishment law ot this state. Tho defendants, being tion-rcs-Idcnts of Iowa, are unablo to claim exemp tion as heads of families and their wages wcro accordingly attached by garnlaheclog the Union Pacific. The railroad determined to put an end to this practice It posstblo and directed Its local attorneys to defend the case. The answer filed set out that the claims wcro obtained by Fulton, the person bring ing suit, in tho state of Nebraska for th express purposo of bringing them to Iowa to bilng suit upon them In direct violation ot the Nebraska statute and raises tho question of constitutional right, claiming that tho practice complained of operates to deprive the men thus sued of tho equal protection of tho law nnd to deprive them of their property without due process of law and further to abridge their privileges and Immunities. In the caso of M. Htirke of Grand Island Justice Ilryant released the garnishment, as Hurko showed that the claim sued on had been paid. As to the counterclaim the court reserved Its decision. The two othor cases of B. M. Arnold and J. A. Taylor were taken under advisement. ONE YEAR'S CRIMINAL RECORD Clerk Heed Files Ann tin I Report of Cac In the District Court.

DKS MOINES, Oct. 23. (Special. )-CJIlbcrt S. Ullhcrtson, treasurer of state, surprised 'everyone by making a recommendation In his biennial financial report on tho condi tion of the state treasury placed on file today In favor of the stato taking Interest on the deposits of money In banks belonging to the state. Ah tho law now la tho stato treasurer Is made responsible for tho funds and they, aro placed whero ho designates. For some tlmo an agitation has been going on for a change In tho law so as to havo tho stato designate tho depository banks, assume responsibility for tho safe keeping of tho money and receive tho Interest paid by the depository banks. Mr. Ollbcrtson endorses this plan. It Is tho first time any state treasurer has ever endorsed such a plan. Mr. Ollbcrtson, In his report to tbe governor, states that during tho last bi ennial period the monthly average balances In banks have amounted to about $700,000, nnd he has no doubt the balances will con tinue as largo In the future. The profits to tho stato derived from thin sourco would bo no small amount. It Is expected that with this endorsement of the state treasurer the leglslaturo will change tbo law and give tho slate the benefit of Its vast funds lying Idle In tbo hanks, Itevenne of the Stnte. Tho stato treasurer reports that the gen eral revenues of tho state continue In sat isfactory condition and the financial con dition of the state has steadily Improved. No interest bearing indebtedness has ex isted at any tlmo In tho biennial period and tho floating Indebtedness has been reduced. The revenue has been Increased and yet that derived from direct taxation has been reduced. The revenue receipts from differ ent sources during tho two blonnlat periods ended June 30. 1899,. and tho biennial period ended June 30, 1901, were. as follows: 1st Period. 2d Period. From counties $4,063,767.75 M,339,323.12 Corporation tax 375,596.57 425.133.i6 231,876.36 f ees rrom stnto offi cers 223,554.59 Collateral lnherltaiico tax 52,793.52 Stato Institutions .... 121,828.95 Miscellaneous Re ceipts 2l6.f53.91 196,461.54 181,547.01 95,7(9 72 $5,079,403.29 $3,120,059.54 Notwithstanding the largo decrease In re ceipts from counties and from miscella neous sources there. Is a net Incrcaso shown of $40,636.25. The Increase, In collections under tho collateral inheritance tax aro most noticeable. Tho receipts dtrrlng the last biennial period exceeded tbo disburse ments by $698,885.80 and the balance at tho close of tho period, June 30 last, was $1, 143.888.17. Cnllaternl Inheritance Tax. The receipts frpui tho Inheritance tax for the period closed exceeded tfca roceipts for the previous period by $143,665.02 and the rovenuo fromt1rW Anrce H now fourth In Importance wjben compared with the others given lntMv3 table 'Two years ago it was the sixth.). The law has been amended and, further enactments made so that the collection of this tax Is now ren dered more effective. However, tho law needs complete revision and simplification, so that It will be easier to make the collec tions. The treasurer recommends that It shall be made tho duty of the county clerk to notify the state treasurer of tbe liability on this tax and that ho bo paid a fee for so doing. Political llully In De Moines. The big political rally of the year took place hero tonight, a public meeting being addressed by Senator Fairbanks of Indiana and Speaker Henderson and Congressman Laccy of Iowa.

Tbe Iowa supremo court today decided a caso In favor of the plaintiff who was a' Ufo convict in the penitentiary, but has died within a few weeks. It was tho caso of Andrew Thompson of Fuyetto county, against the banking firm of Nllea & Wat- ters at Anamosa. Tbey had had a deposit of $309 from Thompson, which tbey paid to W. C. Ollbralth, clerk at the peniten tiary, who novef nccounted for the money. Thompson had not authorized Ollbralth to draw the money and did not sign tho cer tificate of deposit. Tho supreme court holds that tho clerk had no right to draw out the money and tho bank no right to pay It to anybody but the prisoner and that the fact Ot hla bolng a convict did not dis qualify him from transacting private busi ness. The bank will, therefore, have to pay the money again. Thompson was 76 years old and had been In the penitentiary for moro than thirty years for the murder of two women and placing their bodies under the Ice In the Mississippi river. Court Decisions.
