At the special session of lnlted Btatea court- in this city yesterday Judge Smltn McPherson made an order confirming the sale of the Muscatine North tt South rail road made last December. The purchasers are the bondholders, represented by a syndicate of Philadelphia capitalists. In court the syndicate was represented by Henry Jayne of Muscatine, while Arthut Hoffman, an attorney of Muscatine, ap peared for the receiver. The road Is about thirty miles long and runs from Muscatine to Ellerick Junction, where It connects with the line of the Iowa Central. Mr. Jayne stated after the order confirming the sale had been made that It was the in tention of thw purchasers (o extend the road north to Davenport and eventually to make a trunk railroad of It. The motion to modify the Injunction In the case of John A. Crelghton and other owners of property In East Omaha against Charles K. Hannan and Secretary of Btate Martin was submitted. This Is the case which Involves the title to about 1.000 acres of land lying In the semicircle bounded by Cut-Off lake and which It Is claimed by Hanuan belongs to the state, from which he desires to purchase It. The proposed sale by the state was checked in October by the Issuance of an Injunction from Judge McPherson's court, restraining the defendants from continuing with the survey and the secretary from giving the applicant a deed. Judge McPherson, while not mak ing any order yesterday, mated that he would modify the Injunction Insofar as to permit the completion of the survey, but that It would continue to restrain any steps to acquire title to the land In question until the Issues had been fully determined In court. In the suit of the Ferd Heir Brewing company of Kansas City agulnst B. F Parker of Des Moines, the motion on be- ni oi me uerenoant for a new trial was I overruled.

TAXPAYERS CAN BRING SUIT Entitled te Protect TuemgeWei fro Ex traTtganee of Officials. BOND OF STATE BINDER IS APPROVED John R. Kaae of Weather Crop Bureau Service Defends the Accuracy of Ills Flgorr. on the Corn Crop. (From a Staff Correspondent.) DBS MOINES. Jan. 10.-lSpeclal.)-The supreme court assembled today for the January term and handed down ne ue clslons. Perhaps the most Important was the decision respecting a case at Cedar Rapids of John A. Reed against F. M. Cunningham. The city council of Cedar Rapids, by resolution, offered SO per cent of all taxes recovered by tax ferrets. The money was paid to the county treasurer for services In discovering property omitted from the assessment roll. Cltls.-ns brought the suit to recover the money for the city. The district court dismissed the case. Tho supreme court holds that rltliens are em powered to bring such suits, otherwise the public treasury could be plundered with Immunity by city officials so long as they stood together. The case against Joseph Vsher for the murder of William Oarrlty, also from Cedar Rapids, Is remanded for new trial and reversed. Usher shot Oar rlty May 28, 19(i3. Garrity was his hired man. Usher at first covered up the crlmu and later, after the trial began, admitted the killing, but claimed self-defense. He appealed from the Judgment of tha court and his appeal was granted by the supreme court on errors of the lower court. The lower court was reversed in holding N. A. Carmean of Marshalltown, la., criminally liable In the assignment of the Rhodes Carmean Buggy company of that city. Tedford's Bond Approved. Howard Tedford of Mount Ayr has filed his bond of $2,000 as state binder and the governor has approved the bund. This ends a little fun at the expense of the state binder. When it was discovered, a few days ago, that the state binder had allowed tho legal time to pass for filing his bond the word was allowed to go out that the governor was considering applicants for the position. Mr. Tedford came to Des Moines post haste. He has filed a certi ficate from his physician to the effect that he had a cold and was threatened with pneumonia. Some of the extreme antl-stand-pat element were anxious to have the governor appoint one of his supporters, as he had a legal right to do. The governor would not even think of It and If Mr. Ted ford had been unable to qualify for the position to which he was appointed by the legislature the governor would have appointed him. Defends Crop Flanres. John R. Sage, director of the weather and crop service of the state, claims that his estimates and figures on the corn crop of the state are' not too high and refutes the claim made in telegraphic dispatches that the crop reporters pad the estimates In or der to raise the value of their land. Di rector Sage, in an Interview today, says the estimates may be too high In some Instances, but tire balanced by other, that are too low. The estimate of the corn crop for the entire state was 325,000,000 and Mr. Sage argues that of the 9,000.000 of acres planted to corn last year, 6.000,000, with an average yield of fifty bushels, would make 300,000,000 bushels, leaving the other 3,000,000 acres to produce but an average of eight and one-third bushels an acre. Organ to MltrhellTllle. The fine pipe organ costing $10,000, which was given to the state by ex-Governor Lnrrabee and Is to be placed in the In dustrial School for Boys at Eldora, Is to replace & very fine reed organ which will now be transferred to the school for girls at Mltchellvllle. The equipment in the musical line at both school, will then be of the fintV- This element In the reform and education of children Is believed by the State Board of Control to be one of the greatest factors. Investigate Poison Case. The poison murder case from Osceola, In which John L. De Long Is claimed to have been given strychnine In his whisky, will, It Is believed, turn on whether the strychnine found in the body was crys tallzed or aedlmentlzed. If the first, it is claimed It will show It was taken In life, but ,lf It Is found to be sediment It wlli show that it was glvia in the embalming fluid after death. Xot Worrying; Inspectors. John Caldwell of Seymour, la., a mem ber of the Board of Examiners for Mine Inspectors, was In the city today. He declares that the members of the board are not worrlrd over the charge of un fairness in making examinations and do not fear the investigation of the governor. "The examination papers are on record " said Mr. Caldwell, "and will show for themselves. When the bottom Is reached It will be shown that some correspondence school guaranteed Its pupils to pass the examination and they failed. It Is trvlna to protect Itself." Governor Goes to Chlraaro. Governor Cummins have, tonight for Chicago, where he will addres. the Chi cago Press club as Its guest and will also be one of the guests at a luncheon to be given by Joseph Medlll McCormlck.

Ia the fall of 1895 I contracted that fear ful disease, Blood Poison. It gained aucb headway that I was compelled to resign my position and seek relief at Hot Springs. After spending all the means I had I went to Memphis. In less than three weeks I was in a hospital, and after nine weeks of suffering I was discharged as cured. In less than a month every bone in my body seemed to be affected and felt as if they would break at the least exertion. Again I was compelled to resign, and I returned to the hospital for a seven weeks stay. When I came out I was advised to try fanning. When I first went on the farm I prevailed on the only firm who handled drugs to get me one dozen bottles of S. S. S. At that time both of my hands were broken out with blisters and I was covered with boils and sores. In the meantime my druggist had gotten two dozen bottles of S. S. S. lor me and I began its use, and after taking the thirteenth bottle not a sore or boil was visible. R. B. Powell. East 9th St., Little Rock, Ark. Of all human diseases, Contagious Blood Poison is the most hideous and hateful. The victim is tortured with eating' ulcers, sores and abscesses, unsightly blotches, eruptions and other symptoms of the mis erable disease. S. S. S. has been used successfully for nearly fifty years for Contagious Blood Poison. It con tains no mercury, potash or other mineral. Our home treatment book gives all the symp toms of this dis ease.
