Farmers Ask Dnmsiei o Account of
Maintenance of Dams.
The outcome of the suit of E. M. Clark
against the Omaha & Council Bluffi Street
Railway company, now drawing to a close
In the district court, means a great deal
more to the motor company than the $t0J
damages asked by the plaintiff. An adverse
verdict may mean the motor company
being compelled to abandon" the mainte
nance of the dama or dikes which now
protect Lake Manawa and keep the water
In It to a depth sufficient for boating, etc,
Clark, who Is the renter of a farm In the
vicinity of Manawa, sues to racover dam
ages placed at $400, alleging that by reason
of the dams constructed by the motor
company at Lake Manawa his crops were
flooded and ruined during the wet season

last yesr. A number of other similar suits
are pending agalnat the motor company
and In the event of an adverse decision In
this case it will be practically Impossible
for the company to maintain tha dams and
the lakt as a pleasure resort will to all
Intents and purpopes be ruined.
Evidence furnished during the trial
showed that since 1888 over $23,000 had
been expended In maintaining the water
stage of Lake Manawa by the construc
tion of dams or dikes, levees and by dredg
ing. If the dama cannot be maintained
the water In the lake will subside to Its
original level and the lake will then cease
to he a body of water suitable for the
purposes for which It Is now maintained.
Is the statement of an official of the motor
company.
Mrs. Augusta Keellne filed an amend
ment to the petition In her suit In which
she Is seeking to set aside the deed to
A. A. Clark of the property known as the
'W. C. Keellne place" on East Broad
way. In the amendment Mrs. Keellne
alleges that the property Is the family j
homestead and valued at upward of J8.000 j
and that the consideration said to have
been given by Clark for the property Is
grossly Inadequate and further that she
signed the deed under duress.
Charles Qundram has brought stilt

William N. Coffey, northweaurn repre
sentative of the Central Howard associa
tion. Is in tha city, the object of his visit
being to seek employment for discharged
and paroled prisoners from stats Insti
tutions, prisons and reformatories, who are
without homes and friends able and wil
ling to aaslst them to secure honest em
ployment and afford thom an opportunity
to live good Uvea. Mr. Coffey's work Is,

the. man thus (eund eroploymeat U knows)
only to the association, the employer and
the man himself.
The Central Howard association, which
takes its name from John Howard, the

stage of consumption and that his Illness
rr.ade him Irritable, with a tendency to
suicide, but not to such an extent as to
warrant him being adjudged Insane. He
was accordingly discharged.

lorra Mar Debate with Nebraska.
IOWA CITT. Ia.. Feb. 26.-Speclal.)
The Iowa State university debating team
which was to have met the Wisconsin team
In the forensic arena within the next
few months, will probably meet a team
from the Cniverslty of Nebraska Instead.
The refusal of ; tha Wisconsin team to
meet the representatives of Iowa this year
put the men In a very peculiar position i
They had been chosen to meet someone,
but who they wefeonaBle to find out. Since
that time the president of the Debating
league, H.' C. Ivens of Orundy Center,
has been In communication with several
other schools Nebraska was among the
number, and It Is probable that they will
take on the debate. The Nebraska men,
In their letter to Mr. Ivens, even sub
mitted a question relative to the Monroa
Doctrine, Inviting them to take their side.
A time for ttw two teams to meet has not
been definitely settled, but It is presumed
to be some time In May.

Republican Kdltora Ask to Have
Chance Made In the Date of Hold
In ST the State Convention,
Set for Mar IS.
(From a Staff Correspondent.)
tES MOINES, Feb. 2fi.-Srcla1.)-The
legislative sessions for today were rudely
broken up by a terrible nccldent which
occured In one of the elevators of the
state capltol, resulting In the death of
two women. Mrs. Ir. Charles It. Foun
tain, aged about 3S, and her mother, Mrs.
A. Houik, hged about T2. were the vic
tims. Tlx- legislature adjourned as soon
as the nccldent became known.
There wns very little legislative work
done In the two houses. The house bad
Just got through with the morning pre
liminaries and had pnssed the bill to In
crease the punishment for chicken thieve
from a Jail sentence to two years In the
penitentiary, a bill which had been left
over from the previous day. There wns no
further debate on the bill. Mr. Cheney
railed tip his resolution memorialising
congress on the bill to repeal the bank
ruptcy law and this wis before the house
when adjournment was taken.
In th senate one bill was passed, that
providing that live birds shall not be used
as targets In gun tournaments. This pnased
without serious opposition. The resolu
tion coming over from the house providing
for an Investigation of the voting ma
chine proposition and for a report on the
advisability of adopting such machines
In Iowa, was taken up and adopted. A
few bills were Introduced, the only nota
ble one being a bill to establish a bureau
of marriage reform and to provide for
publication of books at state expense on
this subject, the bill Introduced by Senator
Bleakley nnd similar to the one which was
condemned in a house committee by Mr.
Dashlell.
The senate committee reported favorably
on the bill Increasing the pay of and classi
fying turnkeys and guards at the state
penitentiaries. Favorable report was also
made on the bill Increasing the salaries
of country recorders.
State Convention Date.
It Is probable that the date for the re
publican stato convention of Iowa will be
changed from May 18, which wns the dato
fixed upon In the committee meeting re
centy. It Is found that the date will In
terfere" materially with the plans of a
large numtier of the editors of the state.
The executive committee of the Iowa Press
association hnd called a meeting of the
association for the Iowa building at St.
Louis for May IS or 17, and that the offi

State t'olleae Desire.
Representatives of the State college at
Ames appeared before the way and mean
committee of the house bi.'t evening to pre
sent their views in regard to the mlllugp
tax proposed for the college. President
Storms was there to talk on the ma'.ler
with others, but so many of the members
were absent that the bearing w is nt off.
Ono strong argument In its favor among
the members that I hi Ing u-e! with tell
ing effect at this time Is that with the
mlllage tax fixed the sum which are an
nually appropriated for the state educa
tional Institutions will he lessened to tlint
extent and the sum total of general and

State Oris the Land.
The state of Iowa did not got che-itel
out of the land for which an appropriation
was made at the Stnte Orphan' home
near davenport. It was In fact bought
by the state at nuctlon. The state ap
propriated Ifi.noo for the land. H was known
tho Hoard of Control was determined mi
having the land, nnd a scheme wa put
up to compel the stnte to pay over tho
full $'1,0(10 Instead of doing so Chairman
Cownle stopped short with n bid of $l,:91
and let a milkman take the land at that
price. A the milkman wa a son-in-law
of a farmer who owned land adjoining It
wns supposed he desired to retain the
land at nil hazards, but no sooner did
he get hi deed than it wa transferred to
the stnte for $4.fion. Now the Hoard of
Control will have turned back Il.teO to the
state treasury as money saved by re
fusing to be taken In by a scheme to
bleed the slate. The land purchased lie
between tho Orphan's home ami a pHrt
of the land already owned by the state
and completes the state farm.
