DES MOINES, Jan. 9. (Special.) A
meeting of the democratic stato commit
tee and lending democrats of tho state was
held nt Des Moines today. The attend
nnco was not as large as was expected, but
some matters wero disposed of In relation
to the policy of the democratic party.
The chief mnttor which caused tho cnll
ing of tho meeting was that of tho dis
posal of tho appointment of A member of
tho phnrmacy: .hoard. Thp law requires
that tho board shall bo bipartisan, , or
have ' representative of moro than one
political party on tho board.
Sovoral years ago Fletcher Howard of
Shc'ldon was appointed as tho democratic
member. Ho has continued to net with the
party, pay campaign contributions and at
tend conventions, but he has nlso.hecn out
spoken In opposition to tho free silver Idea
Ho has thus Incurred tho enmity of many
of the members of the party.
His term Is soon to oxplro and ho Is a
cnndldnto for reappointment. A number of
other candidates havo como out, chief
among them being Conn of Atlantic, and
Douglas of Adcl. The state committee nnd
most of tho regular party leaders nt this
tlmo aro opposed to Howard's reappoint
mcnt.
The stato committee today agreed upon
recommending to Oovcrnor Cummins a list
of candidates who will bo ricceptablo and
this list includes all tho active candidates
except Howard.
A dotonnlncd effort Is to bo made to de
feat Howard. However. It Is acknowledged
oven by the friends of most of the candi
dates that Howard la certain to be nqmi
noted to the position again. The mntter is
stirring up a great deal of strlfo In tho
party.
ltepiinllcnn I,es;lslntlTe Caucuses.
The republican legislative caucuses will
bo held on Saturday evening. It Is prob
able that the Joint caucus of both houses
will bo held tho samo time. Thero Is but
little left to be dono in nny of tho caucuses
becauso of tho lack of hard contests. The
leading positions havo all been filled and
are out of tho way.
Tho slato In tho house is now complete In
every particular nnd tho members aro con
cerning themselves chiefly with chairman
ships. Tho Joint caucus will select the
candidates for senator and name Allison
and Dolllvcr unanimously. It will also
choose a'candldato for editor of tho session
laws and J. R. Carter of Sioux City has no
oDDosltlon for the place Tho democratic
caucuses may not be hold until next week.

To Itehalld Starch Worki,
President Pell of 'tho National Starch

the city water mains be extended to the
site of tho starch plant and also that taxes

It has been learned here through con
tractors who have been working on the
Hock Island cut-off in Missouri that a de

of tho company, nnd Instead of making tlio
Kansas City cut-off from Drakevlllo to
Trenton, the short lino will run from Llno
vlllo to a connection with tho line to Kan
sas City. In addition to this the company
will double-track Its line from West Lib
erty to Des Moines nnd build an extension
from Indlanola directly south to Llnovlllo
nnd divert its henvy traffic from tho south
west through this way. Contractors have
been assured that this Is the present plan

MISSING MAN FOUND IN IOWA
After Five Yenr of Senroli lie Is
l.ncntrtl Xcnr City of
Jefferson.
JEFFERSON, la., Jan, 9. (Special.) C.
J. Carlson of Ithaca, Neb., was In Jeffer-
ton this week, coming on nn errand of In
quiry which will result in remgving the
stain of murder from an old friend nnd
neighbor of his in Snunders county, of his
state.
Tho story Is: On February 28, 1S9C, Mar
tin M, Johnson, who owns n small farm
adjoining Jefferson on tho cast, dlfrnp-
pearcd from Omaha, nnd no trace of him
could bo found. Ho was known to hnvc
had quite a sum of money and suspicion
was at onco aroused thnt ho had been mur.
dcred. Ho had worked for n man named
John Nordstrom, nenr Omnhn, Nordstrom
moving tho yenr before to Saunders county,
settling near Wahoo.
Johnson farmed ucnr Omnfia nnothcr
yenr, ar.d then, being solicited by Nord
strom to come to Wahoo nnd rent n farm, he
Bold off his effects nnd, It whb supposed, de
parted for Wahoo with a team nnd wagon.
Thnt was the Inst seen of him. Inquiry
later chowed that ho had not reached
Wahoo, .at least did not ,takc possession
of tho farm. .
Tho. Omaha papers took Itup and pub
lished .long 'articles about , tho missing mnn
nnd from theso a scandal wu's started
fastening .tho murder upon rW,dstrom. As
no ovldcnco could bo adduced for his con
viction ,he wns nover nrrqstc'd, but sus
picion still pointed to him ns a murderer.
For moro thnn five yenra friends of Nord
strom, who believed him Innocent, have
followed clues to establish the location of
tho missing man.' Through tho Swedish
consul nt Onlnha a reward of $200 was of
fered ,for Johnson, or his body, , If dead.
About a month ngo It wns learned that a
Martin "M. Johnson lived nt Jefferson, nnd
Carlson's coming wns to personally Investi
gate whether It wns tho missing mnn or
not, and, if so, to clear his neighbor of tho
unjust charge.
Carlson had a long conferqneo with John
son, whom ho hnd never known beforo, nnd
from tho tnlk, nnd descriptions he hnd with
him of the missing mnn, thero Is no room
left to doubt the Identity.
Johnson, who Is n slnglo mnn, nnd hav
ing no relatives In Omaha, Is very much
surprised -thnt ho has been tho cauRo of
such a sensation. Ho left Omaha In brond
daylight nnd enmo to Iown, coming to Jef
ferson nnd working for a yenr beforo pur
chasing tho plnco ho now owns.
Ho Is n mnn of quiet and retiring dis
position, and, having no friends In particu
lar near Omnhn, he wroto to no ono ns to
his wherenbouts. Deforo leaving ho paid
all his debts, nnd, concluding ho could do
hotter hero than In Snunders county, ho
camo cast. Not having papers from there
ho wan never awaro of tho great sensation
ho had caused In his move.
Johnson admitted freely that ho was the
man, not only to Carlson, but to Post
master Turrlll, who had somo correspond
ence with Carlson before tho latter .came
east.
In order to clear, up tho unlntcntlonnl
wrong dono Nordstrom, Johnson will leave
for Omaha tho lattor part of this month,
going from thero to Wnhoo, In order thnt
all parties may bo thoroughly satisfied ho
Is alive. Fred Peterson, an acquntutanco
of his, In Omaha, will accompany him to
Wahoo, in order that the Identity may bo
moro complete.

CONVICT LEADS HONESL LIFE
Man Who Itrokc Ills Parole "Works
In Cnnnlntr Factory at
Atlantic.
ATLANTIC, Ia Jan. 9. (Special Tele
gram.) Much surprise was manifested nt
Atlantic when It became known that Gcorgo
Snblns, the cx-convlct wanted In Minne
sota, who was arrested yesterday by Mar
shal Torbusli, was a mau well and favor
ably known at Atlnntlc. This morning
Sablns was willing to talk and freely ad
mitted that bo was the mnn wnntcd for
breaking his parole, stating that when ho
had been released from tho Stillwater pen
ltentlnry under parole he wns so handi
capped by being obliged to keop In closo
touch with tho prison nfflclnls nnd to lot
all know that he wns a paroled convict thnt
ha wns unablo to secure work nt living
wages, heavy farm employment at $7 a
month being tho best ho could find, so ho
decided to break his pnrolo nnd ntrlko for
freedom.
After working for somo months he ran
away, coming Into this ntnto nnd nlmost
directly to this city, whoro for nenrly five
years ho hns remained undetected nnd
leading a blameless llfo under his own
name. For four sensons ho worked In tho
canning fnctory and wns considered nn
cxcollont hand, whllo in tho summer ho
worked with H. S. Thomns, with whom ho
boarded, In repnlrlng gnsollno stoves, nnd
In nil this timo his ono fault consisted In
occnstonnlly taking too much liquor, bo
lug onco arrested upon thnt chnrge, Thero
was ono other strange thing about Sablns,
and thnt was thnt he soemed to shun tho
postofflce, never claiming nny of tho sev
eral letters thnt havo been sent hero to
him, nllowlng all to be returned to tho
dead letter offlco or to tho writers.
When tho loiter enmo yesterday from
Stv Croix Fnlls, however, tho postmaster
met Sablns, who hnd lately returned from
a six months' stay lu the northern part of
tho state, nnd told him n letter nwalted
him at tho postofftco, and ho called for It,
falling into the trap thnt had been sot for
hlra.
Prison Agent F. A. Whlttler of St. Paul
arrived In tho city today nnd took his
man back with him, Sablns waiving tho Is
suing of requisition papers. Ho will be
banded over to tho Mlnnosota authorities
and probably will bo. returned to tho peni
tentiary, though bis five years of honest
llfo hero may work to his advantage.
