, Matters In District Conrt.
All of the evidence for the defense In th
$.16,000 personal Injury damage ault of Rail
way Mall Cleric Louta.A. Weber against th
Rock Island Railway company was In when
Judge Thorneli adjourned district court for
the day lust eveDlng. The plaintiff, It Is
understood, will Introduce two or three wit
nesses In rebuttal this morning, after which
counsel will begin their argumepta. It Is
doubtful, however. If the case will go to
the Jury before Monday. , ,
On reconvening court yesterday morning,
Judgo Thorneli handed down his ruling
denying the right" of the defense to Intro
duce the confession of Erlo von Kutzlebon,
the young man charged with causing the
wreck at Homestead, la,, in which Wober
was injured. The court, however, ruled that
certain statements made by Kutsleben rela
tive to the wreck should be admitted, pro
vided they contained nottrlng with reference
to his own connection with the wrack. This
gave the defense a loophole through which
by the testimony of several of the employes
of the railroad company much of the story
of Kutsleben's alleged connection with the
wreck was presented to the Jury.
The second trial of Roy M. Stevens, th
linotype machinist, charged with attempted

(From a Staff Correspondent.
DES MOINES. Feb. 16. (SpeclaU-The
State Board of Railroad Commissioners this
morning took actlorl which they regard as
the mist Important ever taken by the board
in the matter Of commodity rate under tha
Iowa classification. Some time ago the
board Introduced what Was for the Iowa
board an Innovation, In placing fouc articles
under a commodity rate. These were furni
ture and Implementa In various forms. The
board established a distano commodity rate
which would give the Iowa shippers within
the state a slight advantage over the inter
state shippers. But In the working out of
the rate as put In It was found by the rail
roads that it virtually forced the road
having the longest lines between the Missis
sippi and Missouri rivers to cut rates and
to thus disturb th interstate rates. The
railroads got together and today presented
a unanimous request to the board to modify
tills so that the shortest line be taken as a
basis botween the rivers and all above that
bo the flat rate of the short line. This
will put the roads all on a par as to business
across the state. The railroads all agreed
to this modification and tho commission
ordered It mado. This will make the com
modity rate effective and prevent disturb
ance with Interstate rates. . v
It was also brought out In the conference
with jthe railroads today that this move
ment on the part of the commission is but
the forerunner of a movement to establish
commodity rates as against class rates on
a large number of things and that the
principle once established In Iowa will lead
to a great many material changes of ad
vantage to the shippers within the state as
against those on the outside. In fact, It Is
the Intention of the board to begin at onca
adding to the number of commodity rates.
Xha Importance of -the order lies chiefly
fn the fact that this Is the first time under
tho Iowa laws commodity rates have been
recognized and they have been put In with
tho full approval and consent of tho rail
roads, so theie will be no contest of their
legality.
Marshal Bill Still Alive.
W. R. Rankin, teniperanje orator and
author of the stato marshal bill, is spend
ing soma time In the city. He has been
doing temperance work In the state and de
clarea that never before has there been
so much Interest taken In law enforcement
and the strict observance of the Iowa
liquor lawfi. Mr. Rankin has done a great
deal of lecturing In the northern part of
the state, where tho temperance sentiment
Is strong, and he is continuing his efforts
to secure 'the adoption of a system of
state marshals for Iowa, which he believes
to he the only method of securing enforce
ment of the laws. He expects to present
the bill again to the next legislature. He
is not working for a resubmission of the
constitutional amendment.
Overcome by Gaa.
While in bed asleep the entire family ot
Henry Stephen, a farmer living four miles

dition has been quite serious since the ac
cident, though It. is now said all will re

there are four children in the fomlly. One

Nature Fake While digging a well on
the old Auguut RIemcrs fsrm, on the Ne
maha river bottom, northwest of town, last
Friday, workmen employed by M. J. Clarke
struck an inexhaustible supply of puis
water at a depth of twenty-nine feet. But
the most remarkable thing was that lite
workmen, in digging the well, at the Ueh
of twenty-eight feet encountered a vast
deposit of vegetable mold. It waa a layer
a foot thick, composed of partly deconi
jmsed leaves, treu roots, branches ai:d
trunks. These eould be distinctly define 1,
and their presence In such a thick and
rich layer so far underground can only bo
accounted for by the fact that at aotne tlni.)
tho place where the deposit had been found
had been the ancient bed of a lake formed
by tho obstruction of the Nemaha, proba
bly by a Ueuvi r dam. I'nder tho strtua
of vegetable mold wan a deposit' of clear,
