The executive committee of the Commer
cial club Is anxious that all property own
ers and others Interacted in devising; some
practicable plan wherrhy the periodical
overflows of Indian ere ok can ba prevented
attend the meeting tomorrow evening; at
the club rooms, when the question of Im
proving; the drainage facilities of the city
will be discussed.
The proposition most favored is to turn
the course of Indian creek to Big; lake,
aa under an act passed at the recent aes
alon of the state legislature the city Is
empowered to levy special assessments and
Issue bonds to defray the expenses of such
an Improvement
City Engineer Etnyre in his annual re
port to the city council dwelt at length on
the question of providing some other outlet
for the waters of Indian creek than by
the present channel. After reviewing a
number of. propositions he said he was
convinced that the plan of the proposed
cut-off from Bryant street to Big lake and
thence to the river was the only practical
one. Of this plan he said:
Contemplates Closed Sewer.
This plan contemplates a closed sewer
from the creek at Bryant street running
northwesterly west of the Washington
Avenue school, along Scott street, along
the east side of Sixth street to Avenue
F; thence by ditch on the east side of
Blzth street to KohrerW park; thence
across the southwest corner of Rotifer's
park to the west side of ICIghth street at
Avenue I; thence northwesterly on the
west side of Klghth street to the Chicago
& Northwestern nil I road; thence north
westerly across the Northwestern yards
and levee near the crossing of the Illinois
Central railroad; thence on the west side
of the Illinois Central railroad to the lake.
The old outlet from the lake to the river
to be enlarged so as to cause but little
raise or tne normal level.

nomal stages Is nearly seventeen feet and
twenty-two feet respectively. In a dls-

us a rate of fall of between three and
four times the rate of fall of Indian creek
below Broadway and sufficient to prevent
tne depositing or sediment.
This plan also contemplates the construc
tion of a storm sewer in the old creek
bed below Bryant street to take the sur
face water that flows down Broadway and
Washington avenue that cannot be carried
Into the creek. The old creek can then
bo filled in as this Sewer Is extended.
But three city bridges will be necessary
on this cut-off. whereas there are now
twenty-one olty and twenty-four railway
bridges between Bryant street and Six
teenth avenue. As this cut-oft will dis
pose of all the surface drainage east of
Main street, our sanitary sewers which
empty Into the creek at Nineteenth avenue
will be free from back water, and with
the creek dredged from Nineteenth avenue
to the river, as now proposed, will Rive
the much needed relief to the property
owners In the sanitary " dlstriot west of
Main street, . '

Crippled Girl Has Xerve.
Miss Hart, the crippled daughter of A.
A. Hart. 21S Eleventh avenue, by a dis
play of remarkable nerve, saved her?elf
from serious injury and possibly, worse
during a runaway yesterday afternoon.
With Miss Shugart she started for a drive
In a buggy, but on turning Into Main street
at Sixth avenue the horse became fright
ened at passing motor. Miss Shugart
succeeded in Jumping from the buggy, but
Miss Hart's crippled condition prevented
her doing likewise. She held to the reins,
but the horse got the bit between its teeth
and dashed north on Main street. The
Jolting over the stone pavement made Miss
Hart fall from the seat to the bottom of
the buggy, but she still held to the reins
while the horse continued Its flight north
to Washington avenue. Horrified bystand
ers expected to see the buggy dashed to
pieces at the bridge over Indian Creek,
but Miss Hart succeeded In guiding the
horse as she did again at the turn on
Washington avenue. At Benton street the
horse, which was nearly played out, was
caught and Miss Hart rescued from her
dangerous position. She was taken to her
home by Mr. and Mrs. A. M. Hutchinson,
who had followed the runaway In their
carriage. A young lad whose name was
not learned, followed the runaway on his
blcycje and attempted to stop the horse
at North First street. The boy was dragged
from his bicycle, but he clung bravely to
the horse's head for a while until forced
to release his hold. The buggy passed
over him but beyond receiving a few
bruises he escaped Injury.

(From a Staff Correspondent.)
DES MOINES, June 5. (Special.) The su
preme court of Iowa will meet again on
Tuesday for the last session of the first
half of the year and after about ten days
of submissions will take a recess until In
the fall. The cases to be submitted at
that time will be the first from the Tenth
district, or northeastern Iowa, and follow
ing In order will come the cases from the
Eleventh to Eighteenth districts Inclusive,
The submission of cases will complete the
call for what is technically the May term
of the court. At the January term there
were four periods and at the May term two
periods. This Is under the new law which
Is found to work to excellent satisfaction,
and under It the Judges have expedited bus
iness. The cases from the Fifteenth and
Sixteenth districts, which are of western
Iowa, are In the list to be called this week,
It Is probable that the argument will be
made for a new hearing In the case of
Burns against Doyle, involving ownership
of- the Portland Mining group In Colorado,
but this has not yet been fully determined
Have Faith In Con are r.
The Iowa friends of Major E. H. Conger,
United States minister to China, have great
faith that he will retain his place at I'e
king, despite the efforts which ar all th
time being made to get him out. The le
cent agitation in, regard to the matter is
regarded here A a part of the general
scheme of agitation against him com
menced several years ago. At one time the
New York Herald cabled Conger to secure
from him the opinions of the dowager em
press of China on some matter. The re
quest was so contrary to propriety and
aw mat tjonger merely cabled back a
statement citing the paper to the section of
the revised statutes referring to the case,
This brought on the enmity of the New
York paper and It has been making trouble
for Conger ever since. It Is learned by
Conger's friends here that this Is all that
the agitation at this time means and that
there is no real intention to supplant him.
The Iowa delegation In congress has In
terested Itself In the matter and will do
what It can to put a stop to the talk.
May Bring; Out Another Candldnte.
mere are persistent rumors that the
stock shippers of Iowa may bring out
another candidate for state railroad com
missioner. There are six In the field now,
but It Is stated that none of them la satis
factory to the stock shippers and they feel
that they ought to be represented on the
board. There has been talk that they
would favor Frederick Larrabee, of Fay
ette, eon of the ex-governor, but It is be
lieved he would not develop sufficient
strength for himself to be the successful
one. W. O. Payne, of Nevada, Story
county, Is said to be a possible candidate
for the position, as this district has no
candidate for the place. A. C. Smith, of
Buena Vista county, has been strongly
urged to be a' candidate, but, has not 'yet
consented to do so.
Armstrong; Is Candidate.
It Is learned through private sources
here that Robert Armstrong, one of the
assistant secretaries of the treasury under
Shaw, will be in fact a candidate for the
position which Secretary Cortelyou will va
cate should the latter take charge of the
national republican campaign. It had been
supposed that the talk to that effect was
merely complimentary, but his friends here
where he was formerly In the newspaper
business as a reporter on several different
papers, say that his candidacy Is In earnest,
and that he will be strongly backed for a
place In the cabinet. Should he succeed
he would be the youngest cabinet member
In history.
. Dawson for Congress.
It Is now practically agreed that Albert
F. Dawson, of Jackson county, will be the
republican nominee for congress In the Sec
ond drlstict In opposition to Judge Wade,
the present member. All others who have
been considered In connection with the
place have practically withdrawn or refused
to allow consideration of their ramea, and
Mr. Dawson is an active candidate for the
place. He Is private secretary to Senator
Allison and has managed the speaker's bu
reau for the state committee for several
campaigns.
May Come to Iowa.
It Is claimed at Muscatine that the head
quarters of the Ancient Order of United
Workmen may be moved from Battle
Creek, Mich., to Muscatine, because of the
death of William C. Miller, supreme master
workman, which leaves Will M. Narvls, of
Muscatine, to become head of the order In

JfOTHITtO TO DO WITH Ml RPIIY CASE
Denial that Cardinal Satolll Has fnch
Mission.
LINCOLN. June J. -To the Editor of The
Bee Sir: I am directed by the right rev
erend, the bishop of Lincoln, to write to
your paper and to beg your readers not to
give any credence to certain fake dis
patches which purport to -come from Rome
and which have appeared recently In some
of the Lincoln and Omaha newspapers
relative to the Murphy case.
In the aforementioned dispatches it was
said, among other things, that Cardinal
Satolll wo coming to America to investi
gate and to finally determipe the Murphy
controversy. There Is absolutely no truth
In the statement and the report Is sent out
Just at this time for a purpose which it Is
not expedient to mention In this rlace.
Your renders will doubtless remember
that the same ruse was resorted to during
the hearing of the cae In the district court
of Seward county. It Is well known to all
the bishops of the United States that Cardi
nal Satolll has no official mission to this
country, and that his iemlnence Is coming
solely for recreation and to renew the
friendships which he had formed during
his stay among us some years ago.
Permit mo to say In conclusion that tho
Murphy case was pj.vpd upon In the su
preme tribunal of the church at Rome some
years ago, and that it shall never be re
opened. I am. sir. your faithful servant,
GEORGE AGIUS. Secretary

The brick business has grown to be an

Idea of Its magnitude and the reputation
of the brick may be gained from tho fact
that the yards of Table Rock frequently

orders received can be filled, and the de
mand so far this season Is unprecedented
Improvements have been constantly made
In the two plants here until the united
output of the two yards for the pant
season was between 10,000.000 and 12,000,000,

about 200 buildings In various ottles and
