SEARCHING FOR MISSING MAN
Last Seen oa West Broadway,. Wkea
He Had Considerable Money
wltk Htm.
The police are looking for O. A.'Raack
of Pasadena, Cat., who cams to Council
Bluffs Thursday afternoon, since when no
trace of him can be got. As he had about
1700 on his person, his wife, who asked the
police yesterday to assist In the search for
him, fears that he may have met with
foul play.
Raacke, who Is said to be a former news
paper man. Is stopping at the Vienna hotel
In Omaha. Thursday afternoon he left
the hotel, telling his wife he was going
to see an attorney In. the New York Ufa
building and later would go over to Coun
cil Bluffs where, If he waa wanted, he
could be reached by calling up 'phone No.
691.
' He did not return home Thursday night
and yesterday Mrs. Raacke learned that
he had not been to see the sttorney In the
New Tork Life building. She came to this
city and found that her husband had been
In Crow's saloon on West Broadway about
8 o'clock Thursday afternoon and that
when he left there he stated he was going
across th road to the water works station
to take a look at th machinery. Aj far
as was learned yesterday he never reached
tbs water works station.
Mrs. Raacke Is afraid her husband may
hare met wtth foul play aa he had been
drinking some and had nearly TOO on his
person. It is possible, however, that ha
may have become temporarily mentally de
ranged and wandered away. In 18S6 Raacke
suffered a fracture of the skull, which was
trepanned. He is 44 years of age.

(From a Staff Correspondent.)
DES MOINES. Aug. 2t.-(8peclal.) The
Iowa state fair opened today and tomorrow
will be devoted to placing exhibits. Tha
outlook Is promising for a most excellent
fair. Entries have been made In all de
partments, Indicating that the exhibition
will surpass anything ever before seen in
the state. The live stock departments are
especially crowded and the entries show
a larger number of horses, cattle and hogs
than ever before. A great many exhibitors
are coming from distant places and many
who have never been here before. The
managers have found it necessary to crowd
up the animals In small apaoe and to build
additional barns. The machinery exhibit
will be larger than usual,, also, and much
additional space has been found necessary
for Implements, fences and farm equip
ments. The management has spent about
830,000 this year In Improvements, Including
a new stock judging pavilion for the swine
and sheep departments and brick walks,
fences and new buildings of various kinds.
The method of getting to the fair lias
been Improved by a new street car station
In the grounds, so that passengers will be
landed within the grounds and not at an
outer gate. On the whole the prospect is
excellent for a fine exhibition this year.
Asking" for a Receiver. '
In the district court this morning Judge
Howe took up the matter of an application
for a reoelver for the German Mutual In
surance company of this city, the applica
tion being made by the attorney general
and state Insurance department. The com
pany was originally started In Council
Bluffs, but was brought to Des Moines With
out legal authority and was sold to B. T.
Loose and others, who were doing business
with the company. The claim is made that
the company was never fully organised and
never had any written permission, in legal
form, for the transaction of business and
that despite the protests of the state in
surance department the officers continued
to write policies, which the t-ttorney gen
eral alleges aro worthless. He asks for an
injunction to stop the doing of business
In that name as well as for a receivership.
Owing to the absence of an attorney, the
matter was not concluded, but will be on
Monday next. The case Is one of a number
of similar ones In which Irregular insurance
ia said to be done by companies organised
on the mutual plan.

New Iowa Trolley Line.
Information has been received here In

line from Omaha to Des Moines. It is
believed this will be a Una entirely In

that it will be constructed further south
than this line and possibly south of the
Rock Island railroad. No direct evidence

DON'T OFFEND THE PORTER
Mag-nates of Sleeping Cars Decide to
Assert Themselves and Sbnn
the Tip.
An amailng story, which haa especial
Interest In the season of vacation travel,
comas from Chicago. The purport of It
la that the sleeping car porters In the
Pullman service are organizing a union
to promote the suppression of tips from
passengers. Commit tees are now at work
on the constitution and by-laws of the
organisation, and on the code of rules
which It Is to enforce. It Is gravely an
nounced' that those represented In this
movement feel that their relf-respect
would be safeguarded and life take on a
more roseate hue generally If their atten
tions to the traveler could be divested of
sny mercenary element and they might
feel that they were assisting to make him
comfortable for the pure joy of being
helpful and serviceable. It Is their high
purpose, therefore, to ask the publlo to
aid them In stamping out the' tip custom,
so repugnant to every right-minded
American, Irrespective of race, color, or
previous condition of servitude. There is,
however, a preliminary step to be taken
before this desirable result can be at
tained. The present scale of wages for
sleeping-car porters Is adjusted to the fact
that the opportunities of the position
have been deemed large enough to
make It desirable. Irrespective of the com
pensation it carries on the Pullman com
pany's pay rolls. Hence, it will be neces
sary that the wages of the sleeping-car
porter be increased to a figure represent
ing satisfactory compensation. If this la
done, he will be In a position to cour
teously wave aside the degrading Up
when tendered by the passenger whose
clothes he has just dusted over those of
the passenger who last received the same
gentle ministrations at his hands, and,
touching his cap, say wtth conscious
pride: "Excuse me, sir. Tour Impulses are
Indubitably generous; but my services are
amply remunerated by the corporation
which employs me, and the union of which
I am a member dofs not condone the su
perlmposltlon upon our liberal emolument
of a surreptitious usufruct of eleemosy
nary quarters," or words to that effect.
Such a formula would delight the heart
of the expansive Ethlope In uniform, and
Its effect upon the passenger who had
made the mistake of tendering a tip would
be all that could be desired. His appro
priate reply would be; "Noble fellow.
I'll not give you a cent." No doubt the
establishment of such an understanding
with the traveling public would change
the porter's status quickly and completely.
Thereafter he might with great propriety
resent any expression of impatience If he
calmly Ignored the request of a sleepy
passenger to have his berth "made up
forthwith, and left It until the last aa a
merited rebuke to selfishness. He could
smear one's shoes with the customary
sleeping-car tslxture of crude petroleum,
molasses and plumbago without a qualm
of conscience, sustained and soothed by an
unfaltering trust that what coat the pas
cengers nothing was worth It. He could
make his morning rounds an hour and a
half outside the terminal station with the
customary He that the train Is due to ar
rive In fifteen minutes, and not feel that
hia mendacity Imperiled anything of
greater value than his Immortal soul.
It would seem as If the management of
the Pullman company ' Should regard this
change with great satisfaction, as of pub
lic Interest and calculated to Increase tho
popularity of their service. We under
stand, however, that their natural im
pulse of co-operation with the porters In
their laudable effort at self-elevation is
restrained by a lurking suspicion that
whatever the scale of wages agreed to,
the demand for the customary tip would
continue as Insistent as at present, and
that the traveler classified as intangible,
In the sense that he could not be
"touched," would fare as badly then as
now. This Is unfortunate, but It suggests
a way In which the public can aaslst the
porters in accomplishing their laudable
object, which, like all reforms of ancient
abuses, involves some temporary sacrifice.
Knowing how the porters feel about tips,
let those who il l la sleepers generously
refrain hcrcni'tf-r from offering them. This
will compel the Pullman company to re
vise It wage turlff to retain Its servants,
and very soon the new order would be
established to the satisfaction of all con
cerned. No light-minded person would
vo'-untaiily do anything to humiliate a
sleeping-car porter, hurt his feelings, or
repress his yearnings for a higher plane
of self-respect, and since th tip does all
this th tip must go. New Tork Times.
