ORGANIZATION IN FINE SHAPE FOR TRIP piinv FIND ANTHRACITE IN WYOMING Mellef cusalon at the meeting of the city council tonight and some action towards accom plishing the desired end Is looked for. Hundreds of lots In the districts which were flooded at the time of the recent heavy rains and the overflowing of Indian creek are full' of stagnant water and are a menace to the health of the neighborhood. There Is no way of draining them and the water must remain there until It finally seeps Into the ground unless the lots are filled. Heretofore whenever the city has undertaken to' fill low lying lots and then charge up the cost to the owners, It ha resulted In litigation, the outcome of which has Invariably been adverae to the city and the result has been that the city In the long run has been compelled to stand the expense. It Is now believed that under the health laws of the state the local Hoard of Health, which consists of tha mayor, aldermen and city physician, can take hold of the mat ter and order the lota filled on the ground that they are a menace to tho public health. It has been suggested that where the own ers refuse to bring the lots to grade tha city health authorities can order It done and the cost can then be taxed up against the owner and certificates for the amount Issued against the property. These cer tlflcates would then become a lien against tha property and remain as such until paid. The matter has been In the hands of City Attorney Snyder, who was requested by the city eouncll to examine Into the law On the subject and report at the meeting tonight. Mr. Snyder Is of the opinion that tho city has the right to Issue certificates against property for the cost of filling lota which have been declared by the Board of Health a menace to the public health.

DK8 MOINES. Sept. 13.-(Speclal.)-It Is learned that Le:ie M. Shaw, secretary of tho treasury, has made arrangements to attend the sessions of tl)e Des Moines dis trict conference nt Indlanola. which opens Tuesday in charge of Bishop Mallalleu. but the announcement made some time ago to the effect that Secretary Shaw would again for a fifth time be selected as one of the lay delegates to the general con ference of tho Methodist church is subject to some modification, for It is learned that If he gets the coveted prise It will be after a contest In the conference. A few weeks ago it was announced that Secretary Shaw would probably be unanimously selected as a lay delegate. On four previous occa sions, covering a period of sixteen years, this conference has chosen Secretary Shaw when he was superintendent of the Denl son Sunday school and later when he was governor of the state, to attend the general conference. His eminent fitness for the position and conspicuous ability among the great . men of the Methodist church were shown on many occasions. On one memorable day he measured logic with the powerful Dr. Buckley of ' New York and so badly worsted the distin guished editor that there has been a coolness between them ever since. In view of all this It was expected that the selec tion of Shaw as a lay delegate woi!d be without question. hen he retired from the governor s office In January, 1902, Mr. Shaw took out his church letter from the First Methodist Kplscopal church of Des Moines, with the Intention of tsklug membership In a church In Washington as soon as he had got himself settled In the Treasury de partment. In view of -this the First Methodist Episcopal church of thte city again presented the name of L. M, Mann as candidate for lay delegate. Mr. Mann Is head of the Iowa Methodist hospital association and has previously been a lay delegate and as such an associate of Mr. Shaw In representing the Des Molnea dls trlct. Others also came out as candl dates and the field now contains at least fifteen, four or five being Des Moines men. There are six of the lay delegates to be selected. The prospect of a spirited but friendly contest Is good and as a consequence the conference at - Indlanola will be doubly Interesting. Deposits His Letter. ' After announcement had been made that Secretary Shaw would again be a candidate for lay delegate to the general conference his fflends looked about to discover If he mas eligible. As a result they found that Secretary Shaw had carried his church letter In his pocket the . two years and a halt and had not taken membership In Washington, aa planned, nor deposited the letter anywhere. A few days ago Dr. A. B. Storms, .paetor. of 4 he i-First churoh,' and newly elected president of the State col lege, was surprised to receive from Secre tary Shaw a communication enclosing his church letter taken out a year and a half ago, with the request that It be re-deposlted In this church. Under the church rules there was nothing to 'be done but accept the membership In good faith, and Secre tary Shaw Is therefore at the present time a member of tho First Methodist Episcopal church and eligible aa a candidate to repre sent the Des Moines conference at Los Angeles In May next. It Is learned that some of his friends advised him, at the time, against taking out his church mem bership from this dlstirct. But the return of the church letter leaves Dr. Storms and the First church In some thing of a predicament. L. M. Mann Is a candllate for lay delegate, and It Is too much to expect that any one church shall nave two delegates. Mann has gone too deep to get out without humiliation. Then there are other candidates from Des Moines churches, including Dr. J. F. Kennedy, secretary of the State Board of Health. The unexpected return of Shaw to the dis trict and aa a candidate from the First Methodist Episcopal church Is not pleasing to them. In fact, some of these candidates hint that they are quite ready, to give the secretary of the treasury a run for hla money this time. They say that Inasmuch as he has been out of the distlrct a year and a half and has escaped contributions to the church anywhere by carylng his church letter about, they feel that he Is not en titled to ask any favors. If he should come as a delegate from his old church at Denl son and be credited there they would not so much object, but his return to the Des Moines church disarranges the entire pro gram. They also feel that Inasmuch as he has had the honor for sixteen years it la time to pass It around. In short, there is a good deal of feeling aroused over, the aud den change In the situation here Incident to the return of Secretary Shaw to member ship in ihe First church of Des Molnea. Outside of Des Moines the sentiment Is said to he quite favorable to the selection of Shaw as a delegate, on the ground that hla presence on the delegation would mske it one of the most conspicuous and Influential at Los Angeles and he would greatly honor the dlatlrct by his presence. The matter will be settled some time next week. CHEYENNE. Wyo Sept. 13.-t8peclal.V- An elghteen-lnch vein of anthracite has been developed In the large vein of coal near Thayer. Sweetwater county, owned by the Union Pacific. The streak gives promise of widening with depth and It Is believed that here the first anthracite mine in Wyoming will be developed. Small seams of anthra cite have been located In other sections. but have not been of sufficient size to war rant development. The Thayer anthracite occurs In a large vein of soft coal which Is to be opened up In a short time. Recently a test was made with this coal and Rock Springs coal. Seven, tons of Thayer coal generated steam iuf flcient to carry a l.fl)p-ton freight train as far as twelve tons of Rock Springs coal will do, so that even though the anthracite streak does not turn out aa expected tho vein will be worked for the, high grade of soft coal. The Union Pacific Is preparing to lay a line to the new field and will open tip at least one large mine, locating about Its mouth another coal camp like those at Spring Valley and Cumberland, Uinta county. An attempt has been made to keep the news of the anthracite find quiet, but Information has leaked out and considera ble excitement has been created in the coal fields of the western part of the state. Wyoming Cattle Go to Coast. CHEYENNE. Wyo.', 8ept. 13. (Special.) The sale by Reel A Friend of LaBarge, Uinta county, of 8,000 head of steers to San Francisco buyers recently may result In a Pacific coast commission house being estab lished In Wyoming. The interest In the sale displayed In Wyoming and Utah has been great and the selling firm has been deluged with letters requesting them to sell the cat tle of the writers on commission, while the purchasers have been . requer sd to view herds In several sections. Unless there Is an improvement In Omaha market condi tions, Pacific coast buyers can secure all the cattle they need In Wyoming. CAPTURE THE BANK ROBBERS Five Men Sow la' Custody Whom O ra cers Are Confident Are the Right Men. SIOUX FALLS, S.. D.. Sept. IS. (Special Telegram.) Five men whom there Is every reason to believe were implicated In the sensational robbery of the Minnehaha County bank at Valley Springs early yes terday morning have been apprehended and are now In custody of the authorities of this county.

Sheriff Huston Is confident the en tire gang haa been captured, notwithstand ing It was believed as many as nine men were concerned In the Valley Springs raid. This number, he thinks, la exaggerated.

Tomorrow Colonel Hois will leave Cinc innati for the field of work. nad occurred, (From a Staff Correspondent.) DES MOINES, Sept. 13. -(Special.) Colonel James Rush Lincoln, commandant of the cadets at the Iowa State college al Ames, Is preparing to lead the Fifty-fifth regiment,' Iowa National Guard, to Fort Riley, Kan., about the middle of October to participate In the army maneuvers there. It was reported some time ago that Colonel Lincoln was 111, but this proved unfounded, as he is lu excellent her.Kh, but even If half dead he would not glvj up the pleasure of leading this Iowa regiment Into camp with H.flnO others, chiefly regulars. The regiment Is the one which waa taken to the Philippines and which saw much hard cam paigning there four years ago. A goodly number of the boys who went to the Phil ippines are In the regiment now. Three or four of the companies are comparatively new In the service and untrained, but they all have excellent officers and there Is no doubt that the regiment will mske a fine showing among the others at the maneu vers. I Especial pains has been taken to put the regiment In the best possible condition for the trip. The selection of regiments was by seniority of the colonels. The Flfty flfth also lies nearest to Kansas In the southwestern part of the state. There Is perhaps not another regiment of guards men In any western state so nearly equipped In exact accord with the latest army regulations. All the rifles and equip ment have been secured new from the War department at Washington. The men have canteens and meat cans and rubber blankets and both the blue and the khakl uniforms. They will go Into camp - as though prepared for an all-winter cam paign In actual service. A perfectly equipped hospital corps will go along and there will be hospital accommodations equal to that needed In actual service. The guardsmen In the big camp will be divided, some going Into the division of the Blues and some with the Browns. The Iowa regiment will be part of the time with one and part of the time with the othetf, as 'the commanding officers may designate. Regiment la Good Condition. It is not certain that Governor Cummins will be able to. go to the camp at Fort Riley. The event comes on late In October, at a time when he will be very busy In the campaign, and will find It hard to get away. He has attended all of the camps of the four Iowa regiments since he was Inaugu rated and has planned that he would be In fact the head of the guardsmen of the state at all times. He had hoped that the camp at Fort Riley would be In September, so that he could accompany the regiment with his' military stif. Adjutant General Byers Win go and all the regimental offi cers, and perhaps others from Iowa. The Fifty-fifth regiment will have to be some what enlarged to meet the requirements of the War department of about 800 men. There are over BOO In the regiment now. To fill up the companies to the required sixty-five enlisted men ' each guardsmen from the three other regiments will be accepted temporarily. It Is found that there Is great rivalry among the men to get this assignment. About five to eight men will be accepted from each of the other com panies of Iowa, possibly a few more. They will be taken from all the other companies, as there are men in every one who desire to go. In a few weeks a report will be secured from the regiment as to how many will be needed. It Is felt by the military officers that this Iowa regiment, with goodly number of Philippine veterans, with excellent officers, commanded by the ex perienced Colonel Lincoln, who held a com mission as a brigadier general four years ago, with all the latest equipment and per fect uniforms, will do great credit to the state of Iowa at Fort Riley. The camp there will last for ten days and the govern ment pa'ya all expenses. It will be the first time state troops have encamped with the regulars. Machinists Get Better Wages. By reason of a conference recently held between the officials of the Milwaukee rail- j road and the machinists' union a concession ' has Just been made to the machinists all along the Milwaukee lines and there will be a slight Increase In wages. The former minimum wage of 32 centa an hour has : been changed to a maximum wage of 34, cents un hour for all work in Iowa, with 34H cents in Minnesota and 35 cents In 1111 1- rr-L. 1 n,.-ilM , n a)l machinists nrt the ' 1IU1B. w m. ...- ..... - system. There are aeveral shops In the state that are affiliated somewhat with the Milwaukee business and negotiations are now pending for a change In these shops. This affects the shops of the Des Moines Union, which Is a terminal system merle use of by the Milwaukee company. It is. ex pected the increase will be granted here. Fail to F.ffeet Reforms. The republican county committee has been making an effort to. introduce some reforms In methods to meet possible fraud at the primary elections in this county. In view of the allegations of fraud made at the last primary election when congress men were selected and the demand for a recount of the ballot In certain precincts which waa refused, a resolution Is pending before the committee to provide specifically for thla recouDt. But the friends of the movement have thus far failed to secure the necessary votes for the reform and It will lay over until another time. Superintendents to Confer.

In your selection of a magazine you may choose from two classes those you need and those you read for recreation or else you take THE DELINEATOR and combine both. If the word "necessary" is susceptible of a superlative, THE DELINEATOR is beyond all question the "most necessary" of all the magazines published for Woman. Nine hundred thousand families . proved this to be so last month; and each month brings its new thousands of members into the ever-growing DELINEATOR FAMILY. Among the fashions it is the "most necessary" because it is all the fashion magazines in one, with their mistakes eliminated their exaggerations corrected, and the really successful novel ties stamped with the seal of authoritative approval for if it is pictured in THE DELINEATOR it is "good form." It is equally the "most necessary" in the Nursery, in the Sewing Room, in the Kitchen throughout the whole house and out of doors in city and in country. . .
