portion of the county. The members of the
association w.bo . have been , looking Into the
matter during the week will bo able to make
an encouraging report at the meeting. TSio
belief Is general that the meeting will de
velop a sentiment that will assure the suc
cessful carrying out of the enterprise. The
fruit growers estimate that they have lost
thousands of dollars annually on account of
not being able to ilnd an Instant market for
overripe fruit , such as raspberries and [
blackberries. The fruit cannery would afford'
tiio market by preserving the fruit. Some
of the dealers estimate that their associa
tion alone would be able to furnish the worka
iv 1 Mi material enougli to keep It golns
throughout the fruit and vegetable canning
season.

The three highwaymen who held up the
Manhattan saloon between 12 and 1 o'clock
yesterday morning and robbed the proprie
tor mnilo a previous and unsuccessful at
tempt to do the Eamo thing at tbo Creston
house about ten minutes earlier.
Shortly before midnight n. roughly
dressed young fellow came Into the saloon
attached to the hotel and swaggering up
to the bar demanded to bo given a drink.
Max Mohn , the proprietor , was behind the
bar. Ho refused the drink. The man made
some remark about his ability to whip the
entire crowd , which was composed of n
half dozen Nebraska Implement dealers , and
not getting the accommodation ho asked for
left the saloon , assisted by the muscular
arm of the proprietor , who had grasped
him by the collar. An Instant after ho re
turned with the two other men , one of whom
presented a .large-sized revolver at the head
of Mohn and commanded him to throw up
his hands. The others Issued the same
command to the Nebraska Implement men.
Mohn's lighting blood came up Instead of
his hands and ho denounced the thug who
held the revolver as a coward and dared
him to shoot. "I have got twenty bullets
In my body now , " exclaimed Mohn , "and I
don't care a d d for ono more. You cur ,
you are afraid to shoot. " At this Juncture
ono of the Nebraska Implement dealers
grasped the man with the revolver from
behind and pinioned his arms to his side.
In the struggle that followed the Nebraska
man was getting the bettor of It and would
have wrenched the revolver from the hand.1 }
of the highwayman If he had not been con
fronted by the others. Ho weakened and
let the man go and the desperado turned
to Mohn once more and again demanded
his money. Mohn told him that ho had his
money In his pocket and that It could only
bo secured after ho was dead. The Ne
braska man who-had figured In the defense
slipped through the door behind the bar
and disappeared Into the hotel. The high
waymen saw the movement and ono of them
said "Let's Go , " and nil three broke for
the door , with , Mohn la close pursuit. At
the door the revolvers were again thrown
Into his face and ho returned to the build-
Ing. Mrs. Mohn and her daughter were
standing In the doorway .leading to the hotel
and they witnessed Uio whole scene. Mohn
gave n description of the men and It fitted
exactly with that given by the Manhattan
people.
When the men had been driven from the
Crestoii house they ran up .Main street and
within five minutes had held up the Man
hattan. The men were In the Manhattan
saloon fully ten minutes. The same one
who held the gun used It to Intimidate F.
Smith , the proprietor ; F. M. James , the
cook , and Albert Dowers , who were In the
saloon , and T. J. Foley , a bartender who
came In a moment later. All of these men
promptly obeyed the summons to hold up
their hands ami all were robbed. The man
who searched them carried a club made of
the big end of a billiard cue , and when one
of the men was slow In raising his hands
he struck him a blow on the ribs that
knocked the breath out of him. The cash
register contained ? 37.7G , which was about
all the robbers obtained. Foley and James
escaped from the saloon by a rear door
after they were searched and ian to the
police station , half a block away. The men
left the building by the front door and
started to run across the street. Smith and
the other man in the saloon followed to the
pavement and sounded a lusty alarm. The
highwaymen disappeared In the direction of
the Union Pacific railway yards and es
caped.
The police made ono arrest yesterday on
suspicion , and although the man Is held for
vagrancy ho was not Identified as one of
the young men. The three men were In
the Grand hotel mingling with the crowd
of Implement men attending the banquet
during a part of the evening. At 11:30 :
they were In the Gn nd hotel bar , but made
no effort on nccourt of the crowds to In
terfere with the day's cash receipts. Mike
Sullivan , who runs n saloon on Upper
Broadway , reported that the three men were
In his place during the latter part of the
evening and ho believes their Intention to
rob him was only frustrated by the en
trance of a number of men who began a
game of cards.

After the close of the Implement dealers'
convention the executive committee held a
brief session , for the purpose of electing a
secretary , that ofilco being filled by the
board Instead ; of by vote of tbo members of
the association. Secretary McLaughl'a ' , who
has bold the position for the last three years ,
had announced his determination to retire
from the field and let the work fall upon
the shoulders of a now man. When it wan
shown that the welfare of the association
was largely concerned In his re-election ho
consented to take- the place for another year.
This action leaves the official roster of the
association Just as U was during the past
year.
Tftero was a strong sentiment developed
among the members after the clcso of the
convention favoring tbo Idea that was ad
vanced of holding the next meeting In Coun
cil Blurts In the fall Instead of In midwinter ,
for the purpose of enabling the members
who attend to visit the exposition. It Is very
likely that the executive committee will bo
prevailed , upon to call the convention In Oc
tober , The members of tbo committee , be-
llovo that the next convention .will be a
great one , and that the association will have
a membership that will enable It to send
over 1,000 delegates to the meeting.

_ _ DavoThomas _ , who WBS formerly con
nected with the Council Bluffs police force ,
returned last evening from the Klondike
country. Ho Is visiting his brothcr-ln-law ,
Officer Anderson , and Is cnrouto to Chicago.
Ho left Chicago last summer for Alaska ,
and started In over the Skagway trail on
August 7. Ho reached Dawson City late In
October and started back on November 24 ,
Ho gives n graphic account of his experi
ences on the trail and In the mining camps.
In the latter ho succeeded In securing a
number of good claims , which ho thinks
promise a fortune with proper working. Ho
went Into the country In company with three
other men whom ho met In Seattle. They
started with ten horses , and each took about
1,000 pounds of supplies. The horses all
perished before they had succeeded In get
ting the loads over the forty-ono miles of
Mountain pass. Ho describes the hardships
of this portion of the trip as being some
thing frightful. The horses could only carry
100 pounds at a load , which meant a Journey
of eighty-two miles for each 100 pounds car
ried over. The horsca died from exhaustion
and starvation. The remainder of the trip
was comparatively easy In a thirty-foot boat ,
which they made of lumber which Thomas
and another man whip-sawed In two and
one-half days. The return trip was made on
the Ice and consumed forty days. The pro
visions for the trip were carried on hand
sleds. The remainder of the supplies were
left In the camp for "use nest summer , when
the party will return and work tholr claims.
Thomas weighed 2C5 pounds when ho started
In and when ho reached the seacoast he had
reduced his weight to 203 , but saya ho never
felt better In his life.

The .biennial report Of the State Normal
school , located'in this t'lty , is'an interesting
publication for thce'o Interested in our edu
cational Institutions. Ono exceedingly grat
ifying matter thatt ean'be noted is that thp
school has 'been ' 'advancing continually in
numbers of students and efficiency of work.
The reputation for thoroughness and ability
of the Instructors Is so well established that
many students ore seeking admission. The
number of students is so large that U Is
becoming a serious question with the man
agement as to what Is to Ibo done for room
and 'teachers ' with which to accommodate the
increasing number f students. In each of
the neighboring states there are several otate
normal schools for the professional education
of teachers. Iowa has only ono state normal
school with a capacity of 1,000 or 1,200 stu

WATERLOO , la. , Jan. 14. ( Special. ) For
some time past the merchants of Denver ,
la. , have been active In efforts to secure a
railroad In their own townTheyt prefer the
Illinois Central over any other company , and
a letter from President
Fish has been re
ceived by Guy Farnsworth of Denver , mak
ing Inquiries ea to what Is desired , and the
request Is made that the people in the sec
tion embody their wants in a petition to be
presented January 25 at Now York , when
an important meeting of foreign stockholders
\\1I1 bo held.
Acting upon the suggestions of President
Fish , Mr. Farnsworth and others Interested
with him have been at work for several days
securing signatures to the petition which ex
presses fully what the people want. They
have expressed a willingness to vote a 5
per cent tax in aid of the enterprise and to
otherwise do things that would result In a
material benefit to the line when built.
Denver Is located In JefTenson township ,
Bromer county. Just a trlflo over two miles
from the Blackhawk county line. It is almost
directly north from Waterloo , from which
point a line built would travel through one
of the richest and most productive stretches
of farming country within the boundaries
of Iowa. The distance from Waterloo is about

An IOMII Senatorial Incident.
The Des Molnes correspondent of the
Marshalltonn Tlmcs-Hepubllcan , after relat
ing how the republicans of the Iowa legis
lature rejoiced over the republican victory In
Ohio , told the following In regard to an In
cident In the career of Senator Allison :
Senator Allison eight years ago had nn
experience thnt , while It was not just like
this ono of Hnnnn'Rviis still slightly nkln
to It , Senator Allison was the unanimous
choice of the republican caucus , although
ho had some envious rivals who would hnvo
liked to strike him down , The republicans
hml only two or three majority on Joint
ballot , for thnt was the time of the famous
deadlock , which lasted several weeks. Four
or llvo members of the republican legislature
had to bs watched day and night for fear
they would betray t'helr trust. Those were
anxious times for the friends of Senator
Allison , but they steered him safely through
without a break. Not a man had the nerve
to finally desert him. Hut what hng be
come of those who thought of doing so , and
wbo needed watching ? One of them died ,
holding' the appointment which was the
prlco of his loyalty. Ono of them has be
come a populist , Ono of them has dropped
Into a political grave so deep thnt he can
never be resurrected , and no ono Inquires
for him now. Another ono Is experiencing
a dangerous mental trouble , nnd while he Is
ii brilliant man. bis unstable nature has
come near wrecking him. Those who are
well Informed think thnt the republicans of
Ohio will take care of these Fornker-Bush-
nell-Kurtz fellows us fast ns they come
up , nnd retire them to the depths of oblivion.

Des Moincs Capital : Governor Shaw has
been inaugurated and the entire state ex
pects him to make a good governor. It Is
the duty of republicans and republican
newspapers to give the now governor and
his associates full moral support and to with
hold carping criticism.
Keoktik Gate City : Governor Drake will
lay down the cares and responsibilities of
office today after two years' service. Ho has
made a good official and takes with him Into
private Jlfo the esteem nnd best wishes of
the people of the state. Ho will leave Des
Molnes at once and go to Ccntervllle , where
ho will remain a few days. Then he will
visit Chicago on Important railroad bus
iness , after which he will go to Excelsior
Springs to remain indefinitely.
Des Molnes News : All the people cannot
agree with the retiring governor In many
particulars , but for Governor Drake per
sonally all the people have a high regard.
May his visit to the health-giving waters
icstoro him to his old-tlmo vigor nnd
strength. Governor Shaw comes Into office
equipped with strong common sense and de
cided opinions. It Is believed that his ex
ecutive talents are of a high order. That
ho will bo governor goes without saying.
His Individuality is strongly marked.
Iowa City Republican : Francis M. Drake
has made Iowa a good governor. He did
not secure the position because ho was an
experienced legislator. Ho was recom
mended to the state because he was a bus
iness man , a philanthropist and a Christian
gentleman. Governor Drake has applied the
same principles In the conduct of his ofilco
that ho applied to his private affairs. He
has been honest , conscientious and bold. He
retires to private life with the respect and
good wishes of the people of the whole
state.
'Ottumwa ' Courier : Govenor Shaw has come
to the front In Iowa because he has had the
courage to take an uncompromising stand
upon the great financial question and ad
here to It In the face of the severest crit
icism and condemnation on the part of
these who differ with him upon this matter.
Governor Shaw has that faith In people
which has convinced him that they can be
educated up to realize and comprehend a
right position upon this question , oven
though It Is at this tlmo in advance of pre
vailing public sentiment.

Gateway.
CHICAGO , Jan. U. Many of the western
roads are borrowing trouble over the probable -
able action of the Union Pacific regarding
the Ogden gateway when once It has eccured
control of the Oregon Short Lino. Whllo
there Is a fear In some places that It may
closa the catcwav as It did In the past , the
roads say that they are not looking for any
such action. The Union Pacific is now- con
trolled by the Vanderbllts , and as they have
always treated all of their connections lu
n fair manner , It Is not expected that they
will now try to close the Ogdeu gateway to
the roads which enter there.
