Suit Which Brings Up the Eoom Days oi
Lake Monawa.
WESTON DID WELL IN SELLING HIS FARM
Nevertheless lie Object * to Pitying Sonic
Notes Which ISeprcKfiit HII Agent's
Cuiumlfislnn Ovules Ills
'H Klgniiturc.
A case was tried In the district court yes
terday which was reminiscent of the boom
days , when the prices of property around
Lake Manawa flew to the moon and a man
could sccuro no surer stopping stone to
enormous wealth In his mind than a few
lumps of dirt. It was the case of the Citi
zens' bank against James Wcston , In which
the bank Is trying to collect three notes
of $37G each , given by Weston as security
for the sale of a forty-acre tract of land
between Manawa and the School for the
Deaf to Minneapolis parties , one of whom
was Charles P. Draslan , well known aa a
real estate speculator In this city.
The sale was engineered by E. II. 03ell In
1883 , and the prlco agreed upon by Weston
and Odell was $5,000. Hut Odcll found that
ho could get $ G,000 from the Minneapolis people
ple , and ho took It , the extra $1,000 being
regarded by him as a commission. In spite
of the apparently exorbitant price charged
the Minneapolis parties for land which In
anything but boom times would not be worth
more than a half of the $1CO an acre charged
them , they were not suckers after all , for
Draslan Immediately hlcJ himself oft to Eng
land , and Milling a cockney Englishman
named Watklns , with more dollars than
ense , unloaded the forty-acre farm for the
modest sum of $25,000.
Dut the Minneapolis syndicate was not so
prompt In making Its payments to Weston
as It might have been , and when Odell
struck Wcstnn for his commission Weston
could not pay. So he executed three notes
of $375 each and gave them to Odell as
security. Odell turned the notes In to the
Citizens * State bonk. Dut when the bank
presented the notes Weston refused to honor
them. Draslai had paid him a visit
and paid off the whole $ G,000
at one clip. In thinking the mat
ter over , Weston had decided that If there
was any one. entitled to that commission It
was himself for having had the good sense
to buy the farm sen many years before. His
wife's signature was appended to all three
of the notes , and he claimed that she had
never put It there , and consequently the
notes were Invalid. He enjoined the collec
tion of the notes , but the Injunction was dis
solved by Judge McGee about a year ago ,
The bank Is now trying to collect the face
of the notes.
When they bought , the Minneapolis peopl <
looked around and noticed that Manawc
was situated to Council Bluffs and Omaht
about the same as Lake Mlnnetonka tc
Minneapolis and St. Paul , and they ptcturec
to themselves , by the aid , of their powerfu
Imaginations , Manawa ten jears from tha
tlrno would bo a prosperous and populoui
watering place , with land throughout tin
vicinity worth $500 or $600 an acre jus
like the land around Mlnnetonka , and the ;
decided that they must have the lam
whether or no. Dut as time passed aw a ;
their dreams failed to become realities , am
the $25,000 watering place site Is now rente <
as a cow pasture , and Mr. Watklns , csq , , o
England , receives as rent the sum of $ :
per acre. H Is very doubtful If the farn
could be sold for $40 an acre now. /
large part of It Is taken up with a slough
which Is not worth anything , even for pas
turage purposes.

RAILROAD WINS A' BIG CASE
Iowa Supreme Ocurt Decided dh Important
Point in Commercial Law.
STATE'S ' POWER TO REGULATE CARRIER :
Hlcht Wns Never Confrrrcil by the Con
stitution with Heferenec to Inter *
Into AfTulrJ-tongrcsi 'Con
tests this Exclusively.
DnS MOINCS , la. , May 28. ( Special Tele
gram. ) The Iowa supreme court today de
cided on important Intcrstato commerce case
of which the following Is the title and main
points of opinion ; Isaac Gallon , appellant ,
against the Chicago , Rock Island & Pacific
Railway company ; action to recover over
charges for freight hslppcd over defendant's
line ot railway. Judgment on demurrer
against plaintiff , and appeals. The question
presented by the demurrer was whether
overcharges by n common carrier on Inter
state shipments made prior to the taking
effect of the Interstate commerce act can be
recovered. Forty typewritten pags are dc
voted to proving this point , that there Is no
national common law that the state cannot
regulate Interstate commerce In the absenct
ot congressional action , either by express
statutory enactment or through the medium
of the common law , which may be revised as
In force In such state ; that the right claimed
In this case would amount to a regulation
of commerce between the state as defined
by the federal supreme court , and hence Is
In controvontlon of the federal constitution.
The demurrer was properly overruled and the
decision below is affirmed.
The demurrer was properly overruled and
the decision below Is affirmed. The court
holds that before congress legislated on the
subject of Interstate commerce , no state
statute could effect charges or discrimina
tions made by a carrier In respect to such
shipments ; that right Is to be given by the
constitution , the laws ot the United States
or its treaties , but remedies for such rights
are to be pursued In accordance with the course
of the common law. The constitution does
not confer on the courts of the United States
full common law Jurisdiction , in a national
sense , as claimed by appellant. The common
law Is the common law of each state , as It
was of the cojpny before the revolutionary
war. The power to regulate all commerce Is
given exclusively to congress , and the com
mon law right , If any , Is thereby taken
away. The states In any event have no
power to regulate Interstate commerce.

of Billings In order to gain entrance Into the
northwest country. When J. M. Hannaford ,
general traffic manager of the Northern Pa
cific , was In Omaha a fortnight ago , talking
to a friend , he Is represented to have said
that the traffic ; arrangements with the B. &
M. were of such a diameter as to give his
company considerable annoyance. And to
know Just what to do with the contract was
bothering officials not a little. This un
certainty grows out of the inroads which the
Burlington has been making on the freight
haul for Puget Sound points , much of which
has heretofore gone by way of St. Paul. Now
that Jim Hill has obtained a footing with
the Northern Pacific and will virtually dic
tate Us policy , the knowing ones believe that
the contract with the Burlington will be an
nulled. But the Burlington has already rea
lized the Importance of a line between Chicago
cage and Puget sound , and It Is understood
a corps of surveyors are already In the field
running a line west from Billings. Whether
the objective point Is Seattle , Is hard to de
termine , but It Is pretty thoroughly settled
that the B , & M. will not be placed at the
mercy of a northern lino.

PREVENTION OF DISEASE.
Keep ilio ftutnncli Illclit.
It Is surprising what a safeguard a healthy
stomach Is against disease. And again It Is
not so surprising when It Is remembered
that the only way wo get pure blood , strong
nerves and firm flesh Is from wholesome
food , well digested. It Is the half digested
food that causes the mischief. When the
stomach Is weak , slow , Inactive the foot
lies In the stomach for hours fermenting ,
forming gasscs which poison the blood am
the whole system , causing headache , pains
In the back , shoulder blades and chest , loss
of appetite , palpitation , bllllousness.
The safest cute for Indigestion Is Stuart's
Dyspepsia Tablets , composed of vegetable
essences , fruit salts , pure pepsin and Goldcr
Seal. Dissolve one or two of these tablets
In the mouth after each meal. They ar
pleasant tasting and mingling with the food
so assist the weak stomach that the food I
perfectly digested before It has time to fcr
mcnt.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets cure Indlges
tlon and Increase flesh because they dlgeii
flesh forming foods like meat , eggs , etc.
