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.

The sale by Reel A Friend of LaBarge,

displayed In Wyoming and Utah has been
great and the selling firm has been deluged
with letters requesting them to sell the cat

purchasers have been . requer sd to view

County bank at Valley Springs early yes

and are now In custody of the authorities
of this county. Two were captured at

two men were supplied .with money and
hsd redeemed the knife. '' i
It Is said the two men took an Omaha
train for Valley Springs Friday night, ar
riving there at about 11 o'clock. The rob
bery was committed- about three hours
later. Sheriff Huston Is confident the en

were concerned In the Valley Springs raid.
This number, he thinks, la exaggerated.

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

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.

A Great Iowa Meteor.
Wiseacres In Red Oak are trying to solve
a problem that came to their notice Thurs
day night. A big, fiery ball, supposed to
have been a meteor swept northward over
the city about 11 o'clock and aa they
looked It burst and millions of pieces
seemed to scatter In all directions. The
explosion was terrific. It wo):e many
sleepers and some concluded an earthquake
Before you go home
WITH the issuance of the October nurriDer, now on the
news-slands, is answered squarely the question of
supremacy among the magazines for woman and home.
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. . .
THE PARTIAL LIST OF CONTENTS BELOW
can only hint at the interest underlying every line :
The Evolution of a Club Woman, by A rne Surbridge, begin in this number. Il is
an autobiography and is the predicted success of the year.' J j. C. Hemment, ihe
world-famed camera expert, begins one of ihe most remarkable series of photographic
articles ever presented. They relate to his personal adventures at home aod in foreign
lands. J The Silent Partner, by Lynn Roby Meekins ; A Florida Cracker, by Virginia
Frazer Boyle, are prominent among the fiction features, while the departments are fuller
than inual of good things, with especial interest centring in the children's pages.
If the "most necessary" of the magazines for Woman is that
one which helps most in every hour of "her" day and brings its
after-hour of fascinating leisure-reading when the day is over, '
then, surely, "JUST GET THE; DELINEATOR " Of
your newsdealer or any Butterick agent at Fifteen Cents a
copy, or of the publishers, One Dollar for an entire "year.
