The preliminary hearing of O. W. Schaf

his IS-year-old sister-in-law, Eda Olden
burg, was begun before Justice Ouren yes
terday. Owing to the large number of wit
nesses, there being fifty-two subpoenaed
for the defense alone. It was found neces
sary to hold, the bearing In the south court
room of the county court house.
The evidence of Schaffer's alleged little
victim was of such a character as to be
unfit for publication, She testified that he
first, assaulted her In June, 1902. and on
. frequent occasions up to August last. She
aid he had threatened to. kill her If she
told anyone of the assaults. An elder sis
ter, aged IS years, testified that 8chaffer
had attempted to assault her, but she had
fought him off.
On behalf of Schoffer, It la claimed that
the charges against him are for the pur
pose of ruining his character, his wife
having sued him for divorce before these
charges were made or even hinted at. A
long array of witnesses will testify to
Schaffer's good character.

l suit Imi iht in th district court veateir-1 lng tournament on February .

defendant compnnlea.
It Is allegert that the gas company has ,
been guilty of a misuse of Its charter in ,
that It has "failed, neglected and refused 1
and dots stlil full, neglect and refuse to i
furnish to the plaintiff and to the citizens j
or Counct: muffs good commercial gna
suitable for Illuminating, hentlntx and me-,
chanlcl purposes- and further that it has ;
"failed and does fall to furnish the same .
.. .
latloni of said obligations on its part are
open and flagrant."
Where Company Is Derelict.
Another allegation Is that the defendant i
company fails to keep In repair Its gas
mot era and electric meters, or to properly
measure lu gas and electricity to con
sumers, thus working a fraud upon the
public and compelling it to pay for gas
and electricity which they do not use and
consume; that It al'.ows its electric meters
to c"ep and register when no current Is on
or no electricity being consumed, thus
K ... bk-""'.
It Is also alleged that the company has
failed to furnish the city the light as pro
vided for In its contract, although It col
lects from the city the full amount of the
consideration provided for In the contract
for the lights) of a greater power than thorn
furnished, by which It Is alleged the city
Is defrauded of a large sum of money.
Technical Objections.
Technical grounds are also alleged for
the nullifying of the charter. One pf these
technical grounds Is that the charter Is
void for the reason that after the people
had voted on it in October, 1900, and by a
majority vota approved It, the city council
failed to pass the ordinance as the. law re
quires. The failure of the olty council to
pass the ordlnanes, subsequent . to the
vote. It Is claimed, left tho charter inopera
tive and without effect, force or virtue.
Another technical defect Is claimed in
that the ordinance contained more than one
subject as shown by the title and tn the
body and therefore the city council had.no
authority to pass same.
The charter which was granted to the
Bluff City Electrlo Light and Oas com
pany, was sold to the Citlsens Gas and
Electric Light company, which Is now un
derstood to be controlled by the New Thomson-Houston
company of Omaha.
In addition to declaring the franchise or
charter null and void the court Is asked to
Issue a writ of injunction restraining the
defendant company from using or occupy
ing the streets of the city or from exercis
ing any of the rights or privileges conferred

(From a Staff Correspondent.)
des MOINES, March I. (Special.) A
nam was made In the house aide of the
..-iuiature today in the direction of put-
tlng enj Ul uglalutiim and bringing th;
business to a close. Three important mcas
urea were Klitoti oil ana in l v.w
of the forenoon session a resolution was
lntruducej by Mr. Langan (dem.) ol Liin

w iwMng to a further cutting off of
-xoen- Mr. ingan s resolution recites
thMt ,Hjt le.,lB,ttture appropriated 2W.OOO
for the cnl,ltol lmproveinent and $125,000 for
o exhibit at St. Louis; and that
thore has been no accounting of the funds
to the legislature and demands a report on
these commissions and especially as to the
duties and compensation of the secretaries
and employes and as to whether or not
the employes were selected for political
rett-.ons or on merit. This was recognized
os a movement to curtail the work of the
commissions, for Bt the same time It was
j announced the' bill to appropriate $20,000
! for the exposition commission hnd been
' held up after passing both houses, and in
' V. i. ....... n K unl a V,v whlph It r)HHfi
I was reconsidered. It Is expected an effort
' will 1 made to defeat the appropriation en-
,jrelyi ,
Thi nfternoon in tho house a motion to
recongider the vote by which the Louisiana
purchase commission bill was adopted was
carried. It was explained that the purposa
was to have It reconsidered and the ap
propriation mado so that the commission
might use It for any purpose the commis
sion may deem best. A sharp colloquy
took place over a report In a local paper
to 'he effect that Governor Larrabee, presi
dent of the commission, had stated In the
commission meeting that the money was
not needed. Mr. Whiting, member of the
commission; denounced the statement as
false.
i Factory Inspection Killed.
The house spent a large part of Its time
considering the bill to provide lor enforce
ment of the factory Inspection law by
authorizing the appointment of two factory
inspectors to work under direction of the
state labor bureau, and then refused to
pass the bill, the vote being 48 to 87, the
necessary fifty-one not voting. The main
support of the bill was by Messrs. Calder
wood, Carstenaen and Langan. and It was
shown that while the state has provided
for factory Inspection, It has not provided
the means by which, It can be done, and
as a result factory ' Inspection In Iowa Is
of little value. The opposition came from
Bealer, Dow, Head, McAllister and Jepson.
The house reconsidered and passed by a
two-thirds majority, which was deemed
necessary, the bills for appropriations for
the Benedict home and the Dubuque Rescue
home.
Mr. .Cross Introduced a bllV to. provide
that the governor'sall appoint ftn osteo

The bill to allow city councils In cities
of the second class to levy a 2-mlll tax for
fire protection purposes was taken Up and
considered at length. Opposition developed
and the bill suffered the fate of Its two
predecessors.
The house in the afternoon took up a
bill by Weeks to provide for a good roads
and drainage commission to survey the
state and prepare "for systematic good
roads in the state, and It was defeated.
Mr. Head withdrew a bill, recommended
for passage, relating to sales of Intoxi
cating liquors.
A bill by Mr. Buckingham In relation to
method of deciding on damage done by
dogs was passed.
Two bills by Wise to provide for report
ing for assessment real estate owned by
railroads were passed.
Inebriate Hospital Pavored.
Senator Smith's bill establishing a hos
pital for dipsomaniacs, which was called
up for passage yesterday, was under dis
cussion during the entire forenoon session
of that body today. The bill will carry
an appropriation of $125,000, and provides
for the use of present buildings owned
by the state at Knoxvllle, and the addition
thereto of the necessary structures to
carry out the law. While the considera
tion of the measure brought out many
amendments to the . bill as presented by
the committee, they were entirely of a
strengthening nature and were adopted
mostly without division on motion of a
friend of the bill.

Warm Political Situation.
Local politics are st fever heat In ex
pectancy of the republican county con
vention of tomorrow. An effort is to be
made to hav the convention endnrs Gov
ernor Cummins and send htm to the state
convention as a candidate for delegate-at-large
to the Chicago convention, or, on
the other hand, to pass resolutions con
demning the Iowa republican platform as
unrepubllcan, especially as It relates to
reciprocity, and to send to the state con
vention a deiegatlun of the governor's
bitter personal enemies. It Is not known
how the convention stands on that subject.
It is almost entirely in the control of Con
gressman Hull, who secured a large ma
jority of th delegates to th convention.
Some of his friends are demanding that
the convention take radical action to
humiliate the governor of the state be
cause Gcverner Cummins was personally
In favor of Hull's opponent. But ther
was a compact entered Into between Hull
and Cummins by which there was to be
no fighting between them, and many of
the Hull people Insist on having this ad
hered to. It Is understood both sides are
trying to secure proxies and control th
convention tomorrow, which, in addition

Cashier Catches Thief.
J. C. O'Donnell, cashier of the German
Savings bank, on Fifth street, exhibited
wonderful detective ability by cleverly en
gaging a confidence and general holdup
man In conversation In the office of the
bank while a boy ran for a policeman. The
man, who gave his name as Joe Bunck of
Lincoln, Nob., Is about 23 years of age. He
was taken to police headquarters by Officer
Bennington. Mrs. C. W. Rosene, wife of a
partner In the Des Moines Plumbing com
pany, who resides at 1900 High street, had
a handbag snatched from her arm in front
of the Iowa I-oan and Trust building
Thursday afternoon by a strange young
man. In the handbag was a check drawn
on the Oerman Savings bank for $10. Mrs.
Rosene telephoned to the bank stopping
payment.
Today a young mnn entered the bank and
produced the Identical check stolen from
Mrs. Rosene. D. Aldrldge, poylng teller,
reported at once to O'Donnell, who carried

which promises to be one of the most
Interesting ever tried In the state. The
action Is a damage case brought by Mrs.
Margaret Hlsoocks, In which she seeks
to recover $15,000 from Clarence Baxter,
Adolph Woodward, Clyde Murnan and
Anthony Morton for the death of her hus
band. All the parties live In or near
Lewis, and the action Is the result of the
death of plaintiffs husband, who Is sup
posed to have died from the result of
drinking too much whisky, which was
given him at the lyceum held at Ellsworth
school house In Washington township one
night last week.
Hlscock was the man supposed to keep
order at the lyceum and the boys say they
thought to have some fun by getting him
drunk and they admit having given him
the liquor, but say it was not drugged' In
any manner. A post mortem by the coro
ner disclosed no. drugs and the coroner's
Jury brought 'tn a verdict stating that he
died frotn the effect of the liquor upon
