rain during tbe past wcclc has done great
good In this vicinity ; only in a few places Is
rain needed. All seeding is now finished.
The corn is up and In many places ready for
the plow. A better feeling Is entertained
among farmers. There was fear , until lasl

The meeting was opened with an address
y William McNett of Ottumwa , who urged
he bankers to devise and work for the adop-
lon of a new banking system. He predicted
hat It would soon become necessary.
President Doming In his address urged a
ontlnuancc of the warfare on free silver
y the banked He reviewed the work of the
cglslatlve committee appointed to watch the
ntercsts of the- bankers lu the recent extra
csslon , and stated that though there was
no star chamber work attempted by the
ommlttce , ho thought a wrong Impreeslon
if the committee was gained by the people
nd recommended that in the future the
jankers adopt a policy of non-interference
n legislative affairs. He recommended a
irotcctlvo committee to devise a cipher dls-
latch for submitting dispatches relative to
hlpmcnts of currency and movements of
.rlmlnals , also a book to contain the slgna-
urcs of bank officials. He recommended
hat all the state associations or-
; anlze Into a national association
o bo composed and attended by
> ank officers and not by banks , as the pros-
> nt American Bankers' association. This
tarted a lively fight , as he recommended an
effort to secure the discontinuance of the
alter association. The matter was laid over
until tomorrow , when the discussion will bo
\arrn.
The secretary's report showed a member-
jhlp of 201. This afternoon Governor Drake ,
n an address on finance , reviewed the panics
of the past , nnd attributed them to the people
ple themselves. He said ho > was free to state
hat he did not think currency reform would
bring good times ; that the country needed
arevenje that exceeded the expenditures.

The report published in the Des Molncs ?
papers that Hon. E. M. Brady , of this city
is not a candidate for re-election to the.next
assembly docs not qultg put the situation
correctly. Mr. Brady has largo business In

and in that sense his second1-return to Des

Ampng.thfl , other .most prominent gentlemen
whoso names are mentioned for this place
Is J. "II. Wolf , for nearly fourteen years
editor of the Sanborn Pioneer , but who has
recently leased it to S. L. Sage , late ot the
State Journal at Huron , S. D. , and has
moved to Prlmghar , where he will now give
nte entire attention to publishing the
O'Brien County Bell. Mr" Wolf has a strong
following all over the district , and if Mr ,
Brady positively refuses to take a second
term he will probably control the convention
at least aa the outlook now seems.

Don Miilnen July 7.
DES 'MOINES , May 26. ( Special Tele
gram. ) About twenty of the leading sound
money democrats of the state. Including
most ot the members of the state central
committee , met In Des Molncs today for
onference. Among those present were W. E.
Mullln. Cedar Rapids ; T. B. Perry. Albla ;
. T. Beem , Marengo ; C. I ) . Fullen , Fair-
leld ; Samuel Sloan , Charles City ; Max
Meyer , Iowa City ; F. .M. Hunter and R. T.
Shea , Ottumwa ; L. M. Martin , .Manhalltown ;
\ . C. Hutchison. Burlington ; S. H. 'Mallory ' ,
Jharlton ; W. W. Witmer and Colonel J.
Jlboeck , Ds Molncs.
It was decided to call a state convention
> f Bound money deniocrato to meet In Des
Molnea July 7. The call will omit reference
o a state ticket. If the silver democrats ,
vho meet two weks earlier , nominate a
Ickct and adopt a plaform which sound
money men cannot endorse- the convention
will put a ticket In the fiehl ; otherwise they
will endorse the regular- democratic ticket.
As the silver men are determined to make
ree coinage the leading plank In their plat-
orm a sound money democratic ticket seems
assured. Max Meyer of Iowa City and
Colonel Elboeck of DCS Molncs opposed the
action of the majority. They held that the
ound money men should not name a ticket.
They elated that regardless of platform ut-
cranccs only state Issue ? will be Involved
n the coming campaign and upon these
ESUCS the opposition to the republican party
can unite. State issues , they contended ,
are so numerous and important that the
republican party is liable to defeat.

0X13 UKI'OT SUIT IS DISMISSED.
.Indue Scott Ilofuln On Contemplated
Trnimfer to Feilernl Court.
Attorney J. H. Mclntosh appeared before
Judge Scott yesterday and asked that he
be allowed to dismiss the case of Klngman
& Co. against the city , wherein the defendant
sought restrain the city from closing the
alley in the rear of the Burlington's new
depot , without prejudice. The pre
sumption was that this move waster
tor the purpose of clearing the'
ground for the commencement of an ac
tion on the same grounds against tfie B. &
M. in the federal court. The court took this
view of the matter , and an animated dla-
cueslon ensued between the court and the at
torney. The court refused to allow the case
to be dismissed without prejudice after it had
reached such an advanced stage , while the
attorney insisted on his right to sush dis
missal.
To settle the matter , the Judge wrote out
an order and gave It to his bailiff , refusing
to let Mr. Mclntosh see It before it had been
filed. The order rcsltcd the proceedings in
the case. Including the filing of the applica
tion , the hearing of the arguments and the
decision of the court refusing the application
for an injunction and dismissing the case ,
and ended wtth dismissing the case "with
prejudice to another action Involving the
matters disposed of as herein recited , but
without prejudice to another action not In
volving the matter finally disposed of as
above , indicated. "
The effect of this order is to prevent the
bringing of another action in any court ,
based on the grounds urged in support of
the application for an injunction.
The hearing of the second injunction suit
brought by Klngman & Company to restrain
the Burlington railroad from proceeding with
the construction of its depot -will come on ,
Friday morning of this week before Judge
Keysor. The casx > Just dtepo-ied of was
brought against the city , the ril'.road com
pany voluntarily assuming the defence. The
second suit , which was instituted on March
26 , is against tbo Chicago , Burlington &
Qulncy railroad.
The plaintiff asks that the company be-
restrained from digging tbe alley adjoining
its warehouse. It alleges that the railroad
company has so far graded away the prop
erty that itn surface Jurt north of the alley .
IB from six to eight feet below the surface of i
'
the alley. It maintains that If tbe present
plans are completed the usual means of
carrying in and out goads will be destroyed ,
and the north end of the warehouse made of
no account. It is alleged that the alley
would be uceleca and tbe premises made
Impassable by the vertical cut of several feet
from the alley to Ninth ntreet.
General Solicitor Manderson of the B. &
M. yesterday elated that tbo purpose of
the suit was tbo same as that which had
just been disposed of , namely : to compel
the railroad company to put In trackage
facilities crossing Ninth street above grade.
This , General Mondersorf elated , was some
thing tbe company would never do.
Should the Injunction be dented , It Is
believed that the Burlington will then have
clear sailing , and no further Interruptions
will be experienced. If tbe Injunction
should be granted. General Manderoon states
that the company will give up the Idea of
having a $76,000 driveway leading off the
Tenth ctreet viaduct , and will make ingress
and egress possible only via Ninth ntreet.

TO K\OCK : OUT'TIIK scAi.rniis.
Western Itoniln Ailnpt the Selinxtlnn
Kxonrnlon Ticket.
CHICAGO , May 26. The general passen
ger agents of the western roads , who for sev
eral months have been trying to find a form
of round-trip excursion ticket which would
prove useless for scalping purposes , have
finally decided that the ticket invented by
OeneMl Passenger Agent Sebastian of the
Rock Island , and known us the Sebastian
ticket. Is the only one that will answer the
purpose. The chief feature ot this ticket Is
that the purchaser docs not receive the re
turn portion ot his ticket until after he ar
rives at his destination and IP about to
make the return trip. The ticket agent at
the original place of sale detaches the roundtrip -
trip portion and sends It to the agent at
tbo destination ot the traveler and gives the
latter an order for the ticket. In this way
the owner of the ticket VB prevented from
selling the ticket to the broker * for the rea
son that he has not got It and ho cannot get
It until ho U ready to start on his return. "
