One of the important matters to corns
before the Pythian grand lodge at Its meet
ing here this week is the proposition to
establish a sanitarium at Colfax for the
exclusive use and benefit of members of
the order. The committee having the mat
ter In charge, consisting of Frank L. Locke
of Sibley, 1. L. Stuart of Hampton, W. E.
Petersen of Davenport, D. W. Telford of
Mason City and A M. Stayner of Colfax,
will report favorably on the proposition
and urge Its establishment. The report
formulated by the ' committee and which
will be presented to the grand lodge la as
follows:
Favors laaltsrlnni,
We, the committee on Pythian sanita
rium, beg leave to report that we have
inveauguiea as to ms auviHaoiniy or local- i
lng and building a Pythian sanitarium at
Colfax, la., and ilnd the location admirable. '
Colfax Is centrally located; It has two
lines of railroads and electric line connec

service. The curative properties of its :
mineral waters are generally recognized
as equal to any in the united States.

OPTION ON PINNEY PROPERTY
Library Board Awaits Federal Court
Baling; on the Pnsey Homestead.
Trie only action taken by the library
board at Its regular monthly session last
night in regard to the Carnegie building
site was to accept an option on the PInney
property for one year. The question of
whether Frank Pusey's Interest In the W.
H. M. Posey homestead, selected as the
site for the library building, was exempt
or not from his liabilities Is to be deter
mined by the federal court In New York
today and this being the case no action
relative to accepting the title was taken
last night.
Chairman Stewart of the committee to
which was referred the abstract of title to
examine stated that as administrator of
the Thomas Officer estate and on behalf
of the creditors of the Officer & Pusey
bank he had filed In the federal court In
New York In the Frank Pusey bankruptcy
proceedings an objection to his Interest In
the property being declared exempt. If
the court held that the property was not
exempt then he expected It would be or
dered sold by a trustee and Frank Pusoy's
share of the proceeds of the sale distributed
among his creditors.
The option given by Mrs. Pusey on her
property adjoining the Pusey homestead
entitles the city at any time within one
year to purchase the houses and lots for
15,200. In the event of a new sidewalk
being laid before the purchase the city
is to assume thnt tax.

SEEKS TO ENJOIN DITCHES
2egaa Crawford Asserts Cost Will
Mean Confiscation ol Abut
tins; Land. -
The petition In the suit in which. Logan
Crawford of Missouri Valley seeks to en
Join the supervisors of Harrison and Pot
tawattamie counties from constructing the
proposed drainage ditches was filed in the
district court yesterday. Crawford asks
tat a permanent injunction against the
supervisors of both counties and' it is un
derstood that the suit will be tried at the
September term of district court.
Logan Crawford, the petitioner, is an old
time civil engineer and is said to be thor
oughly acquainted with the conditions ex
isting In the section of country proposed
to be Improved by the construction of
large drainage ditches by the authorities
t. the two counties. He takes the stand
that the proposition according to the plans
decided I upon Is impracticable and further
that the cost will be enormous. The cost,
lie contends, will far exceed the estimate
made by the engineers appointed by the
commissioners and will prove such a bur
den on the abutting property that It will
practically confiscate It.
Regarding the cost of the proposed
ditches Mr. Crawford asserts that It will
reach 1250,000 in place of 1100.000 as esti
mated by the county authorities. The ex
cavation alone, he insists, will cost $90,000,
while the levees) will entail the expenditure
of 170,000 more. Then, he Urges, no account
has been taken of the expanse of con
structing bridges, culverts and floodgates,
which, he says, will mean the outlay of
yet 130,000 further.
Mr. Crawford also contends that the pro
ceedings of the county authorities In es
tablishing the drainage dlstriot and order
ing' the improvement made have been Ir
regular from start to finish and not accord
ing to the law provided In such cases. He
further insists that no proper survey of the
district to be drained has been made and
In support of this assertion alleges that
Engineer Tostevln, according to the report
of the commissioners, was appointed March
14. 1903, and that on March 17, three days

their families to be charged from $1 to
Il.tO per day. Above charges to include
baths, medical attendance and nurse, when
necessary. All other persons to be charged
the usual sanitarium rates.
After careful inquiry and from the best
Information obtainable, your committee
finds the cost will not exceed 60 cents per
capita per diem. This estimate la based
upon reports received from similar lnstltu
iinm tha pnmt nf maintenance of which
varies from 3fi cents to 60 cents per capita J
per diem. This committee has not deemds
It advisable to formulate any rules lor me
erovernment of the sanitarium, for the rea
son that we are of the opinion that that
matter must ultimately be left to the
board of control.
We recommend that a board of control,
consisting of three members, be appointed
by the grand chancellor, one to serve one
year, one two years and one three years,
after which one shall be appointed each
year, whose term of office shall be three
years. The expenses and per diem of said

Contest for Representative.
The contest between Bernard Murphy
of Vinton and Carl F. Kuehnle of Denison
over the ofQce of representative to the
supreme lodge Is waxing warmer, and
seems to be practically the all-absorbing
toplo among the delegates now here. Mr.
Kuehnle arrived yesterday morning with
his campaign manager, Ben I. Balllnger
of Carroll, and lost no time In looking
after his fences. The genial editor of the
Vinton Eagle Is equally busy. This con

(From a Btoft Correspondents
DES MOINES, Aug. 10. (Special.) It Is
confidently believed by those who are In
terested In the Grand Army excursions to
San Francisco that at least 1,000 Iowans
will register at Ban Francisco headquar
ters during the next week. This afternoon
a train of ten sleeping and one buffet car
started from Des Moines over the Rock
Island, and It was expected It would be
more than filled before the borders of the
state were reached. Similar trains have
already gone over other roads and headed
for the west through Omaha. Several ot
the delegates to the encampment were on
the train which left this afternoon. Among
others who accompanied this train was
Assistant Adjutant General Newman, who
on the authority of the department en
campment itself designed and placed on
sale the official Iowa badge for the ex
cursionists, which has caused a storm In
Grand Army circles. The offense consisted
In placing on the badge the portrait ot
the governor of Iowa. A great many of
the Grand Army men labored unter. the
impression that it was to be a Grand Army
badge, and protested, but quite a large
number who made complaints did so on
the ground that It was honoring A. B.
Cummins, when they were unwilling to be
a party to this. Factional political feeling
still runs high In some sections of the
state, and for a time It looked like It might
be necessary to prepare a new badge, else
only a few would be seen: but as soon as
It was known that there was being waged
a bitter warfare against Adjutant Newman
because of his design for a badge the de
mand for them suddenly Increased, and
large numbers of them have been sold
The badge was designed to sell to help
defray the expenses of the department
officials to the enoampment. It Is now be
lieved that there will be a larger number
of the Iowa people at Ban Francisco than
at Washington last year, and that the
corn-colored Iowa badges with portraits
of the governor of the state, will be seen
all over California,

CLARK CONFESSES, HIS CRIME

Taken Back to Scene ef
Assault.
CENTER VI LLE, la.. Aug. 10,-(Speclal.)
Frank Clark, the negro who Is charged
with assaulting and nearly killing- Miss Ol
lie Hess at Kahoka, Mo., on July 15, Is
under arrest at Oklahoma City. He Is said
to have admitted the assault. If taken to
Kahoka Clark will be In great danger of
lynohlng. Miss Hess has been bedfast since
the assault, and her relatives and friends
have made repeated statements that Clark
would be strung up or shot.
Sheriff Hunolt of Kahoka was advised of
the arrest late Baturday night and started
for Oklahoma City. He says he has no
doubt that Clark will be turned over to him
at once, the formality of securing requisi
tion papers being the only thing that will
cause any delay. It Is said that Clark
hopes to get his case taken to some other
county, as the feeling Is too bitter against
him around Kahoka. The negroes In that
section, while urging Immediate trial of
Clark, say that they do not think the of
ficers will be so lax in vigilance as to alio
any mob to take him. They want the law
to take Its course, though declare that If
Clark Is found guilty he should be made
to suffer according to the dread crime for
which he has been held.
DAKOTA DIVORCE QUESTIONED
Decree Is Granted In Bnglsmd With
out Recognising the Amer
ican Proceeding.
LONDON, Aug. 10. Sir Francis Jeunc,
president of the divorce court, today
granted D. B. Constandlntdt a divorce
from his wife, a daughter of Stephen
Rail!, a member of the firm of Rail!
Brothers, on the ground that Mrs. Con
standlnldl's conduct led to the misconduct
of her husband.
The Constandlnldl divorce suit raised the
question of the legality of Dakota divorces
in England. The husband charged his wife
with blgamously marrying Dr. Lanco, the
family physician.
Mr. Constandlnldl obtained a Judicial
separation from his wife in 1S99. John
Lawson Walton, counsel for the petitioner,
explained tho subsequent proceedings as
follows:
This delicately nurtured lady of Bel-
gravia went to a wild district of the earth,
migrated to the half settled state of Da
kota, became an American citizen, stayed
six months there, fraudulently obtained a
so-called divorce, and married the co-re
spondent there, thus using the lax Dakota
laws for her own purpose.
This," contlnuod Mr. Walton, "was the
deed of civilized Jurisprudence."
The Jury, July 29, found against the re
spondent and co-respondent and awarded
$136,000 damages against Dr. Lanco. It
also found the petitioner guilty on a
counter charge.
$460.02, showing a balance of $1.16 on the games and contests commenced this after-
credit side of the account.
The board adjourned, subject to the call
of the president.

of A. W. Diller, who lives on what Is
known as the Gordon place at the head of
Graham avenue, was held up about 9
o'clock last night and robbed of her pocket
book, containing $5.
Miss Dlller delivers milk to a number
of neighboring families and makes her
rounds In the evening with a horse and
buggy. She had completed her deliveries
and was driving through tho orchard on
the Gordon lace to her home, when a
man sprang from behind a tree and, thrust
ing a revolver in the girl's face, ordered
her to hand over her money. Miss Dlller,
thoroughly frightened, at once complied
with the demand and handed her pocket
book to the robber. The fellow then told
her to drive on, and, running back through
the trees, was soon lost In the darkness.

pers When Trains Carry No
Mall Clerk.
WABHINGfTON, A-ug. 10,-Postmaster
General Payne haa decided to try the ex
pertinent of employing baggagemen on
trains which are not provided with mall
clerks to take charge of and deliver and
open newspaper mall. This decision has
been reached after much consideration, and
in response to a petition filed by many ot
the leading newspaper publishers of the
country, who asked facilities for distrib
uting- open bundles of papers along lines
where trains only carry closed pouches.
There are a large number of such trains.
and as the department Is not represented
by an employe on them the postmaster
general declined to assume responsibility
for papers not enclosed In pouches.
Second Assistant Postmaster General
Shallenberger then suggested the expedl
ent of employing the baggageman to take
charge of the mail In such oases, and the
suggestion has been adopted. The plan
contemplatea that the baggagemasters
shall be sworn In as posted! ee employes
and paid for thlr services. It Is Intended
that they shall deliver the papers to those
to whom they are addressed along the line
from the car doors, thus saving much
time which would be lost in case the pa
pers were enclosed In the pouches, as this
would necessitate their being taken to the
local poatofflce before they could be dellv.
ered to agents. j
It Is estimated that the oost of the ser
vice will be much less than If postofflce
employes were supplied for all such trains.
