PLUlYld b UrtHH I tii A PAkOLE
1'raseeutlug Witness Makes Affidavit
the Prisoner Is laao
cent. John Plumb, a young man of respectable
parents, who at one time resided In In
dianapolis, waa sentenced to tnree years'
Imprisonment In the penitentiary at Fort
Madison on his plea of guilty at the March
term of disuict oourt In tills city of ttie
charge of holding up and robbing an aged
German, named Fred Uulh, In tha yards
of the Milwaukee ral'road In this cliy.
Yesterday Clerk Reed oi the district court
received offlcttU notice from Des Moines
that Governor Cummins bad suspended
Plumb's sentence and that he had been
released from the penitentiary.
Plumb and two companions, ' Mike Shee
han and Mike Fahey, were arrested on
complaint of Goth, who charged them
with beating and robbing him in the Mil
waukee yards. Goth, who waa employed
aa section hand by the Milwaukee, mad
the trip from Marlon, la.. In a box car,
In company with the three men arrested.
On reaching the local yards they beat
him Into Insensibility and robbed him of his
savings. At the time he Informed the au
thorities that Plumb was the man who beat
him ao badly.
Sheehan and Fahey succeeded with four
others in making their escape from the
county Jail in the summer of 1902 after
overpowering Jailer Martin. Sheehan has
never been recaptured but Fahey returned
to hla former haunts In Chicago and waa
arrested and brought back to Council
Bluffs. Like Plumb he pleaded guilty to
the robbery and was sentenced to four
years in the penitentiary, whloh he la now
serving at Fort Madison.
The notification received here yesterday
that Plumb had been released on suspen
sion of sentence created considerable sur
prise, as Goth in his statement to the
county attorney accused Plumb of being
the principal in the assault and Plumb,
rather than stand trial, entered a plea of
guilty. His parents did everything In their
power to secure thetr son's release, but the
authorities here declined to assist them
In view of the fact that Plumb had pleaded
guilty and the evidence clearly Indicated
his guilt.
The notice received by Clerk Reed yes
terday conveys the Information that
Plumb's release was granted on an affi
davit filed by the prosecuting witness,
Fred Goth, that Plumb "was Innocent of
the crime."
Plumb's parents lived at the time of his
arrest In . Indianapolis, but since have
moved to Chicago and the young man's
parole provides that ha cannot leave Cook
county, Illinois, without permission of
the governor of Iowa.
RAILROAD PILING UP COAL
Union Pacific . Has 200,000 Toms
Stacked I'p In the Transfer
Yards.
-.'.
The Union Pacific railroad, In anticipation
of a possible strike among th bituminous
coal mlnera, haa taken stepa to lay in a
goodly atore of coal at thla point. At the
extreme south aide of thf company'a yards
at tha transfer depot over 200.000 tons of
soft coal are stacked up alongside of the
tracks.
For a half mile each aide of the farthest
track south coal la stacked up to a height
of between eight and ten feet, while cn
each side of the adjoining track for over a
quarter of a mile la to be seen the same
coal heap.
The greater part of. thla coal haa been
brought from Novlnger, Mo., over the
tracks of the Burlington road, while a
small portion is said to be from Colorado.
Not a pound of this Immense amount of
coal, however, it is said, came from tha
Union Pacific's mines at Rock Spring and
Hanna, Wyo. It ia aald that the Union Pa
cific la sailing all the coal It can mine in
Wyoming to the United States government
for shipment to the Pacific coaat and that
by so doing and shipping from Missouri and
Colorado It oan make a handsome profit.
For some time the Burlington haa been

NEW BUILDINGS FOR FAIR
Legislature Will Be Aiked for Appropria
tion for Fire Proof Etructnra,
REPUBLICAN LEADERS IN CONFERENCE
tat Candidates and Congressmen
Meet, with State Committee to
Talk Over Coming Cam
paign. (From a Staff Correspondent.)
DES MOINES. Aug. SI. (Spcelal.)-Presl-dent
Morrow of the State Fair association
has returned .to his home in Afton, but
before going Mated that in all probability
the fair management will make an effort
at the next session of the legislature to
secure an appropriation for the erection of
a new agricultural hall with a dairy build
ing In connection, the same " to be thor
oughly modern and fireproof. The build
ings on the state fair grounds now are all
wooden structures that have been In use
fifteen years or more and are unBUlted to
the purpose. The state must begin to re
build them and do it better. The fair
managers desire that the next step shall
be the construction of a building such as
that Indicated, and large enough to ac
commodate all the purely agricultural ex
hiblts. An appropriation of $10,000 or 150,000
would make a good start In this direction
Tho association has directed that work of
making improvement shall go on steadily
with the surplus funds available now, and
that this shall be done with the expects
tlon that there will be a state fair next
year. It Is the intention not to again omit
any year on account of expositions or for
other reasons. It is probable that Presl
dent Morrow will retire next winter and
will be succeeded by C. E. Cameron of
Buena Vista county, the present vice presl
dent of the association. J. C. Simpson, the
secretary, is sure of re-election to his
present position.
Political Conference.
A number of the republican leaders of
the atate and men in official position have
arrived In the city to attend the conference
with the republican state committee on
Tuesday and opening of the campaign
headquarters. The entire state committee
will be present and all the candidates for
state office and the members of congress.
It Is unusual that the members of congress
should be called Into conference at a meet
ing to start a purely state campaign, but
owing to the Importance of the campaign
and Its bearing on the situation In the
state next year, Chairman Spence invited
all the leading officials here, and It Is ex
pected that the work of the campaign will
be started In, perfect harmony. All are
confident and hopeful and express the be
lief that the republican majority will be
normal in Iowa thla year. The state com
mlttee haa been organised, with a finance
committee and an executive committee to
attend to the personal detalU of the cam
palgn. The democrats have rooms engaged
also and are ready to open the campaign,
which will begin about the middle of the
month. r
Appointed a Receiver.

day appointed Senator C. C. Dowell
receiver of the. German Mutual Insurance
company and continued in foroe the re
straining order to prevent B. F. Loose and
others from doing 'business as an insur
ance company under this name. The ap
plication was made by the state auditor
and insurance commissioner, and the al
legation was made that the company was
never legally organized and never in fact
had a charter from the atate authorising
it to do business. It was commenced and
partly organised In Council Bluffs and then
moved here and sold to a Arm of Insur
ance agents who have been doing business
aa an insurance company, and it la stated
that they were writing policies in the
company and selling them to persona by
misrepresentation. The receiver will pro
ceed to wind up the business already done
and close It out -

about, but no plow has turned Its soil.
Chief Red Cloud will die with reminders
around him of the freedom of the one-time
unfenced plains, with this little spot of
wildernesa to recall the fair and limitless
domain of which he was once lord.
The government built him a house. But
as old age came on he forsook It to abide
In a tent. His only companion Is his
aged wife, who Is his ruler and the real
chief of the Sioux. When the squaw over
bears so haughty a chieftain, then Is hu
miliation complete. Now he seeks only to
look out upon hls,en-acre kingdom and
meditate upon the past.
What a tragedy ia represented by this
old man, and what a retrospect can he
summon to mind! He knew the rich north
west when the buffalo roamed there. . He
knew the rolling plains and th silent for
ests before the white man trod them. He
witnessed the white man's coming. Ha
understood that the white man's domina
tion meant the gradual extinction of his
race. By bravery and superior sagacity,
In oonfllct with other ed men, he became
a chief. By his determination to fight the
whites' while yet any hope of victory re
mained, he became chief of all the Sioux.
And he fought desperately no man ever
fought more desperately for thirty long
years. Then he saw that he could do no
more. His struggle meant only other and
still other of his braves sacrificed. He
buried the hatchet He signed the peace
paper. That was In fact the end, for he
kept the peace agreement His continued
existence, doubtless, was a torture. If his
life could have gone out when he signed
away his title to his wide stretching prai
ries, he would have been better pleased.
The passing of the Indian was Inevitable
But the wells of sentiment are stirred in
contemplating how the red race was ground
under the heels of civilisation. It Is such
silent commentaries aa the dying Red Cloud
that cause us often for brief moments to
regret the cost of progress. But we know
that regret Is Illogical, and that in fact
the expiring gasp of tha aged chief will be
a faint echo of the Indian problem whloh
ao long perplexed the administration of the
west.--Bt. Louis Republic.
PROFESSOR HAD HIGH TIME
His
v Honeymoon Waa Not Paaaed
Strictly According- to Pro- .
gram Planned. '
Although this little sketin may sound
like pure romance, Ita truth can be at.
tested. The professor and his family are
old Brooklynltes and this small comedy
was played here not long since. The pro
fessor, although still a young man, haa
gained eminence in hla profession and a
comfortable portion of this world's gooda.
For many years he admired women en
masse, but one fatal day he lost his equill
brlum and was captured by a very pretty
girl, whose summer prey he became.
The engagement proved a brief on. After
a visit at his house and a glimpse into his
quiet methodical life the young woman
decided she could not live his way and they
separated mutually pleased. If truth were
known. Now, the professor has a very
pretty sister, hardly out of high school,
whom he loves far above th love of most
brothers. Indeed, his fiancee had been
openly Jealous of pretty Joan. Therefore,
when the professor found himself once
more a free agent and guiltily complaoent
under the offered sympathy of friends and
relatives his heart turned to Joan and
that light-hearted young damsel became
tho owner ot the solitaire and then of all
the other gifts returned from the fair one.
Going on from this a great plan formed
Itself within the head of the professor and
he doubtless thought out th details while
gravely demonstrating the Intricacies of
Euclid to a respectful class at college.
When the high school closed and Joan
was "finished off" with honors he bought
her the most bridal-looking outfit procur
able at short notice, had her taught to do
up her long braids and they started off on
what he called a honeymoon. No lover
ever gloated over his new treasure as the
professor did over Joan. He beamed upon
her through his glasses at every turn. And
Joan met him half way. They took the
bridal suite of rooms everywhere and he
presented her with flowers every morning
and sat In dusky corners at every oppor
tunity. He enjoyed to the full many. of
the pleasures of the honeymoon plus his
freedom. Little' Joan had the great time
of her life, for as yet her brother Is to her
the most congenial companion the country
can produce. As they stepped demurely
from the Pullman when their train reached
the Grand Central they were aa happy a
couple aa every undertook a real honey
moon. And the professor's life has been
vowed to Joan- from that time on. Brook

DECIDES IN MOORES; FAVOR
County Attorney and Predecessor
Hold Judgments Cnnnot Bo Kept
from tha Mayor.
County Attorney English holds that the
county has no legal right to refuse to pay
Judgment secured by Frank E. Moores, and
George W. Shields, special counsel in the
suit against the mayor for unclaimed wit
ness fees, concurs In the opinion.
The contention set up waa that the county
might withhold settlement of the Judg
ment, now held by the Merchants' Na
tional bank, because it has a suit pending
against Moores. The county attorney
found that the suit of Moores against the
county had been decided. In favor of the
plaintiff In 1901, whereas the counter-suit
has never been reduced to Judgment. A
representative of the Merchants' bank waa
present at the meeting of the county
board this morning "and urged (that the
claim be paid.
He was told that It waa out of the ques
tion at present, as ' salaries for the re
mainder of the year will be $60,000, and
there la less than half that amount of
available money to pay them.
The opinion was referred to the commit
tee on finance.

Shocking Howe of Death.
The report that Marcue L. Hurd, for a
number of yeare assistant claim agent of
the Omaha A Council Bluffs Street Railway

"Mark killed In Chicago yeaterday."
Th muHm did not reach Mrs. Hurd.
K,,t wa delivered to Miss Ethel Hurd, a
daughter, who Is employed In one of tho
downtown telegraph officee aa an operator.
She waa prostrated by the newe. though
friends Immediately Insisted that there
must be some error In the measage. On

message waa written and should have read:
"Mark still In Chicago yesterday."
As there la very little almllarlty in tha
code for "still" and "killed" the error Is
