FIVE HORF.S Bt R. TO DEATH
Barn nf Toller tiroeerr (ompii;
'Destroyed "nntlar Mht.
Five horses wire burned to death last
evening In the barn of the Toller Orocery
company at the rear of 1W1 South Main
street. The fire, which was of unknown
origin, did but comparatively little damage
to the barn, which is of frame construc
tion. .
The barn, which Is .located back of the
company's store on Main street, opens onto
Tenth avenue and onto the alley. When
the fire was first discovered, about 7:30
o'clock, the door leading Into the portion
occupied by the horses and that leading
Into the part In which the wagons were,
were both found to be locked. By the
time the, door leading to the horse stalls
was broken in the flames had gained such
hcadutty that the animals could not be
reached from that direction. The door of
the wagon house was then broken in, but
by the time the horses were reached from
that part of the barn they were desd,
evidently smothered by the dense smoke
which had filled the place.
The firemen had the blaze quickly un
der control and when the smoke cleared
away It was found that the Interior or the
ham had been but slightly burned. The
harness and baled hay In the loft were
found rot to be damaged. It la s'.ippoxed
from the scortched appearance of the wond
that the fire started in or near the manger.-
of the horses.
J. It. Toller, vice president and manager
of the company, said he wss unable to ac
count for the fire except that possibly one
of the drivers before leaving the pUee
after fixing up the horses for the night
had dropped a stub of a cigar or cigarette
among the bedding. He said the loss was
protected by Insurance.
Fire of unknown origin destroyed an old
one and a half story frame dwelling at
1107 Eleventh street about 3 o'clock yes
terday afternoon. The building had been
used for storage purposes by Fred Olson,
a teamster, who occupies the adjoining
house. Olson and his family were not at
homo when the fire started. Some house
hold furniture and a quantity of lumber
were stored In the building.
The company from No. 2 engine house
was called yesterday morning by a still
alarm to the residence of J. W. Klnsey at
219 South Nineteenth street where hot
ashes set fire to an outhouse,
A still alarm at 2:30 o'clock yesterday

HOW NEW SYSTEM WORKS OUT
Men Elected to Office in Dei Moines
Not Conspicuous.
ONE ONLY OF LARGE CALIBER
Friends of Commission Ilnn Think
Trr Mill ot Be Snbservlent
to Corporations School
Ln hi,
(From a Staff Correspondent.)
DES MOINES, April 13. (Special. )-DeS
Moines' new commission form of govern
ment has been In operation Just one
week snd while that length of time Is
lar short of testing It worth and value
It is long enough to determine some few
things. Though disappointing to many of
the friends of the new system of miinloi
pal government the election did not result
In securing men of the highest type of
ability with perhaps one exception. The
new commissioners furthermore seem to
be subject to political Influence, though
thla latter needs more time for positive
proof.
When the new system was advocated the
friends of the system declared that by fix
ing the salaries of the commissioners at'
13,000 and the mayor at 11,600 the city would
be able to secure the best ability in the
city to accept the positions. In this they
were disappointed. A. 3. Mathls, who was
elected mayor was police Judge before
the election and before being police Judge
was a real estate man and not overly con
spicuous In the affairs of the city. Wesley
Ash, one of thecommlssloners, was a coal
miner before he became deputy sheriff,
which position he held when elected com
missioner. J. L. Hamery was alderman at
the time of the election. Before that he
was a painter. Charles Schram was city
assessor and for many years before was a
grocer. John MacVlcar has been secretary
of the League of American Municipalities
for msny years and was mayor of Des
Moines three terms. He Is recognised a
an able man.
When the plan was under discussion Its
friends advocated that such men as Hon.
Jerry Sullivan, one time nominee of the
democratic party for governor, I. M. Earle,
one of the most prominent attorneys ln
Des Moines, Hon. John Cownie of the State
Board of Control and men of that stamp
could be secured. They were not success
ful. Various reasons why they were not
successful may be offered.
Government of Corporations.
But while men of the highest type were
not secured a majority of the board elected
Is recognized as men who believe ln govern
ing the corporations instead of the corpora
tions governing the city. The public service
corporations do not control the new city
council. Commissioners Schramm doubled
the assessment of most of these corpora
tions last time and was not their choice.
MacVlcar and Hamery are both recognized
as "agB-lnst"' the corporations.
As to how the system will work In com
parison with the old system only time,
of course, will tell. A glance at the Hat
of appointments made by the commission
during Its' first seven days leads to
the suspicion that the commission Is mak
ing appointments largely for political pur
poses and not on the high plane of ef
ficiency solely as the State Board of Con
trol does In Its appointments at the state
Institutions. When Commissioner Hamery
'was made superintendent- of . the depart
ment of 'safety, which means the police
and fire department. It was taken as mean
ing that "the lid" would go on In Des
Moines; Saturday the commission, against
the votes of Hamery and MacVlcar, elected
"Billy" Hume, a liveryman, as chief of
police. ,
Friends of the "wide open town" at
once rejoiced, as It Is understood that
Hume believes In a "liberal" policy.
There Is one thing as to the commission,
however, and that Is it will not be used
for political purposes In county and con
gressional politics as It has In years past.
The appointments made hy the new com
mission will neither assist Congressman
Hull nor Judge Prouty, the two republi
can congressional candidates.
Dlscnss Chnnaree In I.arr.
Wherr the county superintendents meet
ln Des Moines at the state house Tuesday
and Wednesday of thla week for the annual
conference aa provided by the state law
they will spend the greater part of the
time' in discussing radical changes in the
state school law. The legislative school law
revision commission la now engaged in its
work of revising the school laws and It la
quite probable that It will listen attentively
to suggestions which the county superin
tendents may have and It is quite prob
able that the superintendents will take a
stand on some of the more important
change that are being discussed. Beyond
resolutions of recommendation the meeting
of superintendents will be without author
ity. Changing from the district to the county
system of school organization; free high
school .education for the rural pupils; abol
ishing the normal institute and establish
ing in its place a short institute during the
school year with compulsory attendance
by teachers with full pay; abolish the sohool
treasurer; make the term of the county
superintendent begin and end with the
school year; these are only some of the
subjects that will be taken up.
The meeting of the county superintend
ents of the state is called by State Super
intendent John F. Riggs, under the pro
visions of section 3622 of the code. Hereto
fore It has been the custom to call such
gatherings In different part of the state
calling three or four such meetings. To
vary the matter In the hope that still
greater good would be accomplished it was
decided this year to bring all the superin
tendents together ln one meeting at the
state house In the house chamber.
The sessions will begin Tuesday morning
at 10 o'clock and the afternoon session will
be held at & There will be a dinner at
:30 that night at the 8a very. Sessions
Wednesday wHl be held at 30 a. m. and
1:30 p. m. Tuesday's discussion will be
largely on the institute and how to make It
more useful, the rule governing examina
tions. School officers reports and methods

To Help- ten a Creameries.
The I'nlted States government has come
to the relief of the northwest country and
will endeavor to Increase the production of
butter. It ha determined to put a man In
Iowa, another In Wisconsin and another In
Minnesota, whose entire time will be taken
up ln traveling about the state making sug
gestions to creameries how to better 'their
product. The Iowa man Is to be F. L. Odell,
wno nas Deen up to tills time connected
with the 8tate Food and Dairy department
as a creamery inspector. Mr. Odell's posi
tion has been taken by J. J. Ross.
The action of the government merely adds
one more man to the work In Iowa and It
la possible that the next legislature will
be asked to add more In the state depart
ment. Mr. Odell has been doing for the
slate Just what he will do for the govern
ment. The government In the past from the
samples of butter Inspected have been writ
ing letters to the creamerleat telling them
what changes to make to Improve their
butter, but these letters have not been very
satisfactory In that they fail to secure the
changes. The government has turned these
over to the State Dairy department, but the
state department has had all It could handle
with Its two Inspectors looking after its
own work.
The United States Agricultural depart
ment, as well as the state department and
the State Dairy department, are anxious
that the dairy business In Iowa should be
greatly Increased. In agricultural circles
the question of how to keep up the fertility
of the soil is a vital one ln western states
and it is desired to preserve It rather than
to replace It after it la once exhausted
Dairy farming Is .recognized as one of the
kinds of farming thst keeps up the fertility
of th3 soil. Iowa now produces annually
about 70,000,000 pounds of butter, but this is
only a small per cent of what the state Is
capable of If Its resources are properly
worked.
Bettering; the Prodnct.
In addition to extending the dairy bust
ness and Increasing the amount of butter
made each year Is the further question
of bettering the product. Oftentimes It la
found that the methods used do not pro
duce the' best bu'.ter. The result Is that
the buiter does not bring the best price
and the creamery cannot then afford to pay
as much for the cream and the patrons stop
supplying the cream. The departments.
therefore, consider that the best way to In
crease the production Is to better the qual
ity fjrst.
Creameries all over the state are to be
asked to put ln septic tanks. The state
food and dairy commissioner has been en
deavoring for years to find some adequate
means of disposing of the sewage from
creameries. The part that Is left from the
milk and cream after the butter and cheese
la made Is thrown away. When dumped
Into a drain and allowed to run out along
a roadside, as it frequently is at the smaller
creameries, it makes a smell that causes
the Inhabitants of that section to remain as
far away as possible. When dumped Into
a stream it pollutes the stream. It has been
found through experiments that septic tanks
will take care of It.. In these septic tanks
bacteria are placed which eat everything,
and nothing but clear water runs from the
tank.
When a man runs off with money en
trusted to him It Is embezzlement and not
larceny, according to the supreme court,
The decision was given Saturday In the
case of the State against C. W. Cothern,
appealed from '- Monroe county. Buxton
union of the t nlfpd Mine .Workers elected
a man named Evans as Its secretary. Evans
was given checks on the bank amounting
to over $700, which he was Instructed to
send to the national organization of that
order aa duo of the local union at Buxton.
Instead of sending the money he paraded
up and down the streets with the money ln
his pocket one night and the evidence tended
to show that by agreement confederates
held him up and took the money away from
him and then divided It with him, Evans
skipped and has never been arrested. His
confederates were arrested for larceny.
The supreme court says It Is not larceny,
for Evans came into possession of the
money legally and that If punished at all
the punishment must be for embezzlement.
MESSAGE IN UNKNOWN TONGUE
Feature of Conference of Latter
Day Saints at Kansas
City.
KANSAS CITY, Mo.. April 13.-The de
livery of a prophecy ln an ' unknown
tongue was the feature of today' meeting
of the world' conference of the Re
organized Church of Jesus Christ of
Latter Day Saints in session at Inde
pendence, near here. The spirit talking
or gift of tongues came during the morn
ing service and in the presence of a vast
sssemblage in the big church of Saints.
Elder W. W. Wight, one of the quorum
of twelve, arose ln his place and while
the Jarge crowd waited breathlessly ho
uttered a few words ln a tongue unknown
to his hearers. Then he Interpreted the
message to the congregation as follows:
"Thu saith the spirit unto my people
now assembled: There are many, many
things done by you pleasing ln my sight.
Many, many things done ty you are not
pleasing in my sight, and for which my
people need to be warned.
"Yea, verily, X say unto you, that Inas
much as my people will put away pride
of heart and pride of life, turn from the
vanities of the world, cease from the
vanities Incident to outward adornment
and become more humble and faithful, 7
will pour out of my spirit upon you, giving
you wisdom and knowledge enabling you
to walk In humility and in faith.
"Yea, be warned, for the time has come
that calamities shall come upon the earth;
yea the voice of the earthquake, of famine,
of pestilence, of thunder and lightning with
calamities stalk abroad and the time la
near at hand when you must needs stand
ln holy places and standing so, my spirit
will keep you from harm and danger. Yea,
my people need to take warning and be
come mere humble and Inasmuch aa they
will do ao I will pour out my spirit upon
you.
"The time I not far distant when from
various parts of the earth will I call my
people together; and the Gentile nations
need to be warned. For soon will I turn
from them. Lo unto my people thst have
been my people In time past. From the
Gentiles will I turn and then my people
sanetlfled unto me through father Abra
ham will come from the four parts of ths
earth, center together' and be prepared
to meet my son when He shall come upon
earth. Yea, thus salth the spirit unto
you in warning voice this morning. Amen."
The meeting continued at the conclusion
of Elder Wight's Interpretation as though
nothing unusual had happened, though
much importance is attached to the gift
of tongues, especially ln the case of Elder
Wight on account of his high standing
la the church, he standing next to the
presidency.
Elder Hutchlngs of Little Sioux. Ia..
also uttered a prophecy today in which God
urges His people, especially the peiisthood,
to exhort and teach His people to purify
their heart tttat the iua be litted to j

he acknowledged their gTeat work, and
to the daughters of Zlon, his hand maidens,
the Lord admonished them to purify their
hearts and carry on the work allotted to
them as God had designed them to do;
that they live virtuous and upright lives
In order that God might use them.' God
would command the angels to surround
them and assist them ln their work and
finally Zion ' would be redeemed and He
would surround them as with a wall of
fire by night and a pillar of smoke by
day.
President Joseph Smith preached to the
conference at the morning service. To
morrow the routine work of the confer
ence will be resumed. The members of
the church expect a revelation concerning
certain mooted questions that are un
solved. PRINCE AND ANNA ENGAGED
Formal Statement of De Stxta Is
Given Ont In 'evr York by
a) Friend.
NEW YORK, April 13. Another chapter
was added to the story of the affairs of
Prince Helie De Sagan and Mme. Anna
Gould, who sailed on different steamers for
Europe yesterday, when tonight G. O.
Netter of thla city made public a statement
given to him, aa he explained, by the
prince and Intended for publication after
the St. Paul, upon which De Sagan took
passage, was well out at sea.
Mr. Netter Is a personal friend of the
prince and was Intrusted by the latter with
the statement that he and Mme. Gould
were betrothed.
The statement of De Sagan follows ln
part:
When trouble developed between Count
Bont and the countess, I sought to aid them
as a friend sincerely Interested In them.
It was at that time that her friendships
were really tested. She stated at that time
that she appreciated my efforts very
much.
Our love for each other began to dawn
only after the divorce decree had been en
tered. Long after the courts had acted, I
chanced to call at her home one day, and
by one of those intuitive divinations a
meeting of the eyes sometimes brings the
knowledge I knew for the first time that
I really loved her and she loved me.
It was on the first day of last August
that the first word about love or marriage
was uttered between us. In the course
of a conversation she suddenly said to me:
"Oh, prince, why didn't I marry a man like
you?" I replied that I was afraid I was
too old, but she asserted that she did not
think so. I had known her well. I had
studied her thoughts, her hopes, her in
clinations and understanding all this, I
realized what a good wife she would make
and I believed It mightily in my power to
make her happy. We became betrothed.
Mme. Gould and I contemplate a quiet
marriage. When that event has taken place
my wife and I will live for some years In
complete retirement In some quiet suburb
of Paris. There we shall remain until the
debts of her former husband are paid. We
are marrying. I repeat, for nothing except
that we love each other.
