. . (From a Staff Correspondent.)
DES MOINES, Aug. 10. (Special.) The
Iowa railroad commissioners toda ren
dered a decision in a crossing case which
Is regarded by .them as one of the most
Important ever made because of the fact
that it sets a precedent in a claas of very.
Important cases about which there has
long been much controversy. The board
declined to order a railroad company to
construct ' a crossing wltere landowners
were demanding it, on the ground that
the coat thereof waa excessive aa com
pared with the value of the land benefited,
or. In other words, establishing that the
commissioners have discretion to decide
such cases on the broad ground of equity
and right and without following the strict
letter of the1 law. The case waa brought
by H. N. Griffin and others at Fort Dodge
against the Great Western railroad. . The
land separated was a small tract with six
and a half acres on one side and fourteen
and a half on the other, an unplatted tract
but not used for farm land, and the grade
at the point of crossing Is twenty feet
high. The commission estimated 'that the
land to. be benefited ia worth less than
(4.000, while an under crossing, the only
one feasible, would cost 110,000.
First Use of Kew Law.
The Iowa railroad commissioners' case
came up today against the first applica
tion of an entirely new law In which they
will have s part Ho play. The county
auditor of "alhoun county gave them
notice as provided 'by the new drainage
law, passed at the last session of the legis
lature, to the effect that the engineer In
charge of a certain proposed drainage dis
trict and the engineer of the Rock Island
railroad had failed to reach an agreement
aato the place where the proposed drain
should cross the right-of-way of the Gow
rle line. The law provldca that In case of
such - disagreement the railroad commis
sioners shall view the place In company
With the two engineers and determine
where the drain ahall cross the railroad
track. This is a function never before
exercised by the commissioners.
Object to Some Regalatlone.
The captains and majors of the Fifty-fifth
and Fifty-third regiments, Iowa National
Guard, In camp here, called upon Governor
Cummins today to see if they could not
secure some modification of the regulations
t the guard with reference to the officers.
The new rules were made In accordance
with the requirements of the board at
.Washington and some, features are re
garded as oppressive by the officers in the
guard.
Investment Companies Oat.
The' secretary ' of the state executive
counoil today notified the promoters of
various land Investment companies that
the state executive, council has decided
upon refusing to Issue charters to all such
companies unless their plan of business is
materially changed. The council was given
discretion to appro t he plans- of these
companies and authorize them to do busi
ness. Four or five were organised and
commenced business before" their features
were examined.. ' " f

Iovy Weather and Crops.
Director Sage in his weekly crop report
says:
"The week brought six warm and gen
erally dry, clear days, closing with well
distributed showers and ample moisture
ior tne present needs of Immature crops.
The mean temperature waa below normal,
the days being quiet and bright and the
nights cooler than usual. Conditions were
eapeclally favorable for threshing grain
from the shock, which. Is about completed.
And It was Ideal weather for securing
wild hay and millet, which . yield abun
dantly. The corn crop Is doing very well,
though not ripening as rapidly as may
seem desirable in view of Its general late
ness. The most advanced fields show ears
well filled and dented, while' the. bulk of
the crop Is mostly In the roasting ear stage.
Reports Indicate that with normal weather
about one-third of the crop may be fairly
well matured by September JO, and that to
ripen the full orop tlere Is need of abun
dant warmth and sunshine till October 1.
Good progress has been made in fail plow
ing, and harvesting -potatoes and early ap

HARNESS HACINU AT PROVIDENCE
John M Wins Park Brew, Stake Two
New Marks Made.
PROVIDENCE, R, L, Aug. 80.-Twelve
thousand persons saw the grand circuit
racing at Narragnnsett park today.
Weather and track perfect and the horses
In two Instances made the best marks
made In a-race over any track during the
year.
The big attraction today waa' the Park
Brew stake for a purse of 85,000 for horses
which were eligible to the 2:09 pacing class
last March. There were five entries, but
the event was practically a two-horse race
between Gallagher, the Canadian horse,
and John M.. property of E. E Bmathers
of New Tork. The former waa favorite
over the field. In the Initial heat the
favorite le from wire to wire, with John
M. at hissulky wheel at the finish. In
the second heat the Canadian at the word
raced away to the front, lth John M.
lying close to his sulky wheel. In the
last ten yards Gallagher weakened and
John M. won by a head: This heat prac
tically settled the race, John M. winning
both of the following heats by good lengths.
The first heat of the race made a new
record for the event, lowering the one
made by Direct Hal In 1902 by one-quarter
of a second.
In the 2:iW trotting event Oxanam lowered
the trotting race heat record of the sea
son from 2:0714 to 2:07.
In the 2:08 pacing race Darius waa first
made favorite, but Inter was supplanted
by Pauline G. Ebrlus won the hent
handily. - Paollne G. -made a break at the
head of the stretch by swerving into the
track, causing Johnny Wiseman to amash
Into her, throwing both drivers out, and
Wiseman ran past the wire before he was
caught. Outside of broken sulkies no dam
age was done and the Judges placed both
horses on account of an unavoidable acci
dent. Summaries: '
