FOOT BALL SQUAD TRYING OUT
Many of the Old Men Return to
Amea.
AMES. Ia., Sept. 6. (Special. 1 Foot ball
Crnctlce began at the Iowa State college
ist night and tonight about forty men
reported for duty, a large per cent of
whom were old men. A number of the
'varsity squad of last year are missing,
but there are enough to form a nucleus
shout which to build a strong team. Clyde
Vv'llllama returned from his summer spent
at base ball Monday and he has the men
busy punting and catching. He will be
assisted hy Sioux Jones this fall, besides
tlie regular training work of Jack Watson.
CHplaln McElhlnnry Is back, but was not
on the field tonight. Jobby Jeanson and
Hubbard will be the prominent candidates
for quarterback and opinion Is divided as
to which will be the star marf. Bruggcr
of the last year's 'vanity Is back, as are
Thayer, Lampman, Guy and SI Lambert.
While the old men are not those who
formed the 'varsity squad Ust season, many
are good men and were kept off the 'varsity
last season because of the freshman rule.
The schedule haa not been announced
definitely as yet, but It will Include games
with Mornlngslde college of Sioux City.
Iowa college of Grlnnell, Coe College of
Cedar Rapids, Cornell college of Mount
Vernon, State universities of Iowa, Ne
braska, Minnesota and South Dakota and
Drake university of Dea Moines. The first
game probably will be played about Sep
tember 28, It coming on excursion day at
the college and the date not being defi
nitely set.
Just give the league eight tennis and a
decent schedule next year and watch It.
Why wouldn't It be a good Idea for the
National commission to make a special dis
pensation and clip off two or three yards rf
the Cuts' lead and lack It onto the Sox's?
It would at lesst be an altruistic thing to
do, If not popular, though there might be
some question h to the regularity of It.
Without ' -.ilng bad for Denver, fans
fenerally hull with delight the success of
'uehlo. wnlch had Denver tied Thursday
morning. Selse'a team has made one of
the most gsllant fights, starting the season
greatly handicapped. It has tunged Its way
from last place up and Is due to finish
fourth.
No one lias stopped to think why the
Rourkes have not been hitting the watch
sign out at the fence this year. The reason
Is not that they find It difficult, but that
Pa told them at the outset that watches
ruined good batters, pointing to Stone's
example, and forbade them to send the
ball In that direction.

TEST OF BABY FARM LAW
Woman Refused a License and Is
Then Arrested by the
Authorities.
(From a Staff Correspondent
DES MOINES, Ia.. Sept. 6.-lSpocial.)
At the Instigation of the State Board of
Health. Hattle Clary was arrested today
on a charge of operating a maternity home
tn opposition to the law. She made appli
cation to the board for a license, which
was refused after the official Inspection,
on legal grounds. Mrs. Clary continued to
operate the home and the filing of the In
formation In Justice court was the result.
It Is understood that Mrs. Clary will re
sist the suit on the grounds that the law Is
unconstitutional or otherwise defective and
If so this will be the first test of the law
enacted by the last legislature for the spe
cific purpose of u'flving the "baby farms"
out of the state. Able lawyers have grave
doubts as to whether the new law will hold
water If It Is tested In the courts.
Garst for Governor.
Lieutenant Governor Warren Garst Is In
the city and called on Governor Cummins at
the state house and on other state officers
and friends. While no formal announce
ment Is made, It became an open secret
today that he Is a candidate for governor.
Automobiles on Incrrnse.
Records In the office of the secretary of
state show that the number of automobiles
In Iowa has enormously Increased since
July 4, 1904, when the state law requiring
registrations went Into effect. July 4, 1905,
there were 1,331 registered; July 4. 1906, 3.231;
July 4. 1907, 3,873, and at the present time
4,306. Since January 1 this year there have
been 1,634 registered. Op an average valu
ation of $1,000 for each machine, which la
considered low, there Is $4,806,000 of Iowa
money tied up In automobiles.
Lower Minimum Weights.
The gypsum mine owners of Port Dodge
are the last to complain about the raising
of the minimum weight on carload lots
from 24.000 to 30.000 pounds. They claim
that shipments of stucco can very rarely
be arranged for such large amounts as
SO. 00 pounds and that even 24,000 pounda Is
a large shipment. When a merchant buys
small amount and has to pay freight on
30,000 pounds It Is a hardship. Commis
sioner Ketchum said today that he was dis
posed to take the view of the Fort Dodge
people and was of the opinion that an ex
ception would have to be made In the case
of stucco, flour and lime if not In a number
of other articles.
Commission Will Build It.
The commission will build the new city
hall in this city after all. It was discov
ered after the city council had ordered the
Board of Public works to proceed with ad
vertising for bids that the city does not get
control of the site till April 11 next and the
commission plan of government goes In In
March, so the commissioners will build the
city hall It It is built.
, ' Had a Dig; Roll. '
G. H. Brlce was arrested today with
$20,000 of bills In his pocket. There was
about $1.00 In United States money and the
rest was In confederate money. That waa
the cause of liis arrest. Brlce says he Is
an old soldier and that he came to Des
Moines from Sioux City. He tried to pass
the bills on tho East side.
Justice Get the Feea.
Last winter, at the instigation of Des
Moines parties, the legislature was Induced
to ensct a law that put Justices of the peace
in large cities on a salary instead of a fee
basis, so that they would not be Induced
to be promiscuously active in order to
make a living. It applied to Des Moines.
Now Justice of tho Peace Livingston of
Saylor township, where business is light,
has opened an office In Lee township. In
East Des Moines, on Court avenue, the
tenderloin district of East Des Moines, and
is doing a fee business. He is a justice
in Saylor township, where fees apply. The
supervisors were asked to allow his fees
and at first refused. On advice of their
attorney they allowed the fees, and Des
Moines has Just as much trouble as ever
with pernicious activity. The trouble was
that ten or a dozen policemen got wit
ness fees for every case and now they
still continue to get such fees.

Iowa News Notes.
SIDNEY The Fremont County Herald,
published at Sidney by George Waterman,
Is no longer a semi-weekly, but returns
to the weekly form after a four years' trial
of the twice-a-week experiment. The Bun.
published, in the same town, has also
changed from a semi-weekly to a weekly
after a year's trial of the twice-a-week.
ATLANTIC-Cass county and its exhib
itors at ths recent state fair at Des Moines
made an enviable record in the matter of
exhibits. Every Cass county exhibitor suc
ceeded in landing some of the prise money,
and the county won first prlxe for the best
county exhibit.
ATLANTIC Fire completely destroyed a
large bain belonging to Wilson Pratt on
his farm southeast of town, together with
all its contents. How the fire originated
Is a mystury. Tho barn contained 700
bushels of oats, 15 tona of hay, some har
ness, buggies and farm Implements. Loss
will be about $4,000 with but $b00 Insurance.
IOWA CITY Faul Schmidt, a member of
the I ase ball team of the Knights of
Columbus, is lying at his home In Iowa
City with a fractured skull. A baso ball
thrown during the flight of a player to
the home plate struck Schmidt In the fore
head, midway between the eyes, and

he will recover. .
ATLANTIC With the city water plant
pumping 300,00 gallons of water per day,
or enough to supply forty gallons each
to every man, woman and child in the
city, yet It is Impossible to supply the de.
mand.'Our people who live on the hill In
Ihe south part of the town are compelled tn
go wunout water ror nours each day. They
have complained to the council, which la
trying to remedy the difficulty. The trouble
seems to lie in the needless waste of water
hy the down-town consumers, and there is
but two ways to remedy It, neither being
at present available because of lack of
funds In the city treasury. One Is to put
meters on an wsier consumers, and the
other to build a stand pipe on the hill.
The officers are endeavoring to stop the
needless waste of water by down-town consumers.
South Omaha made something of a record

hesd were offered for sale. This was a
larger consignment than all the other west

ings were of the feeder varieties. The
market was not In the least staggered by
the big run. Fourteen thousand head of

well cleaned out. Prices ranged about the
same as they have been. Choice lots
brought $7 per 1M pounds. The great bulk
went at an average of $6.50. Fifteen thou
sand head of sheep were received yesterday
and found a ready market at equally good
prices.
. Board of Education Meeting;.
The Board of Education met in called
session last evening. Petitioners from
Highland and West Side schools were
present, asking that an .eighth grade be
established in each of these places. The
Highland pupils of the eighth grade have
to attend the Madison school and the West
Side pupils have to attend the Corrlgan
school. This will require at least two
more grade teachers. Brown Park. High
land rnd West Side each asked additional
teachers on account of congestion In- the
grades. Some of the grades have as many
as seventy pupils under one teacher. There
are at present 111 teachers employed In

tion of grades was referred to the teach
ers' committee, to be reported on Septem

grades will have to get along the best
they can. Superintendent Graham asked
for more teachers.

yesterday morning. The court held that
where there was no contract entered into
a mandamus was not the proper procedure.
FIsher-McGlll will, therefore, bring an in
junction now to prevent the board from
entering into a contract with the Car
penter Paper company and the Stott Sta
tionery company.
Cltr Council Proceeding;.
The city council met In adjourned ses
slon and passed on a few routine bills. The
main purpose of the adjourned session was
to dispose of the West Q paving contract,
but this was not discussed for the reason
the bonds have not yet been sold. It is
not likely that a purchaser will be found
in the near future. The. stringency of the
money' market in the east Is the cause.
The city treasurer Issued his monthly re
port for August The net balance August
1 was $376,676.55. Tha collections for the
month were $83,404.51. The disbursement
reached $139,096.84, of which $34,160 was paid
for park sites and $SS5 for sewer work.
The balance September 1 Is $380,942.48.
Dan Hannon was allowed $1,190 as the first
partial estimate for the grading of S street
from Eighteenth to Twenty-fifth.
Mrs. J. H. Davis made application for the
position of police, malion In the new city
It was expected tHat the furniture for the
city hall would be a subject for particular
attention of the council, but It waa not
taken up. The council adjourned until Mon
day evening.
Preparing- Scavenger List.
The city treasurer' announces that the
lists are being made up for. the district
court and for the county authorities com
prising all people whose taxes are delin
quent to such an extent that they may be
sold under the scavenger law. This list
will be complete September 15. Teople who
have unpaid taxes should not fail to pay
up before that time unless they are willing
to Incur much additional expenae. The lists
will be considerably less than In previous
s-ears and this is an evidence of the pros
perous conditions existing In 8outh Omaha.
Indications of a Flrebnar.
Another mysterious fire occurred nt
evening In the barn of Isaac Levy, near
Twenty-sixth and N streets. This makes
the third fire which has occurred in as
many days, each starting without apparent
cause. Chief Garratt has been of the opin
ion that there waa an explanation other
than that the fire had incendiary origin,
but the repetition of the same kind of a
fire last night haa almost convinced him
that someone is deliberately setting fire
to the buildings. The buildings selected so
far have usually been a small barn or out
building. Whether It Is a boy or a man
who Is doing the work Is unknown. No
horses were in the barn last night. The
structure waa well scorched Deiore me ro
department could extlngulah the flames.
The loss was not very great.

tion appears to have been dulv authorised
at the time by the department; that in
the opinion of the department the arrange
ment had greatly facilitated the indictment
snd conviction of the K'sndsrd Oil com
pany, snd that while eertsln portions of th
evidence mlsht be fairly open to unfavor
able comment, the department regarded the
government as bound In good tslth. and
aln as a matter of public policy, to give
effect to the eareement Mr. 81ms was in
