Stctullly.
Oity Engineer Tostevln has reported t
the police department a number of curiou
things In connection with the channel o
Indian creek and Investigations may oventu
ully lead to some Interesting developments
Within the last two years several thousan
dollarti have been expended upon the wor
of widening and deepening the channel c
the creek. Last year nearly $5,000 was cji
ponded upon this work. The success of th
whole sewer system depends upon the con
dltlon of the creek channel below the poln
where the main city sewers discharge Int
It. Last summer , after nil of the sprln
rains had passed , the condition ot the chat
nel was found to bo excellent. With th
exception of the small amount of mud tha
had been gathered and retained by the weed
the channel had not been filled to any ar
preclablo extent. Recently It has been foun
that the water has been backing up and raU
Ing ubovo the level ot the outlets of th
sowers. Au Investigation resulted In flndln
the cause. In the channel on the south lln
of section 10 flvo posts wcro found drive
across the stream and Inwoven thickly wit
barbed wire , effectually closing the chatini
to the height of the posts. At another polr
a largo mass of weeds was leaded down wit
two sacks of rotten fish and earth. At stl
another point a large trunk was dUcovcrc
filled with brick and sunk in the channc
At other places were similar obstruction
evidently purposely placed in the channi
with the object of interrupting the flow <
the sluggish current and filling up the beef
of the creek. The obstructions were cv
denlly placed with malicious Intent , and a
effort Is being made to discover by whom.

DES MOINES , March 23. ( Special Tele
gram , ) The board of control bill came U ]
In the senate again this morning and In i
few minutes was finally passed and read :
for the governor's signature. When the bll
was called up the ways and means commit
tee reported In favor of concurrence In al
of the eight amendments which the nous
had adopted. None of them were Importan
except that giving the board of control su
pcrvlsory authority over the educational In
stltutlons. The amendments were promptl ;
adopted and the bill placed on Its passage
receiving twenty-nine votes , with eight litho
the negative. Trewln and Palmer , who ha
previously voted against the bill , on this rol
call supported It. Several who had prcvl
ously voted In the negative refrained fror
voting.
The bill being finally passed , all Intcrea
was centered In the questions concerning th
ari'olntments to the three places on th
board. Governor Shaw was reported by thos
who saw him on the subject this afternoo
to bo still uncertain whom he would recotn
mend. The only appointment which by gen
ral agreement Is reasonably certain Is tha
f John Cownle of Iowa county. Mr. Cownl
s president of the State Fair association , a
xtenslvo farmer and business man , who las
ear was a candidate for governor and ha
onsldorablc support In hla own district , th
econd. The appointment Is regarded as a
xcellent one.
This morning the friends of Horace M

emocratlo member. Kebok Is editor of th
'ama Democrat and came with excellen
ecommendatlons. His case was prcsente
y Cato Sells of Vlnton , who spent two hour
tlth the governor. In the afternoon It wa
Ivcn out that the governor had dropped Mt
lebok from the list of possibilities. C. II
loblnson of Des Molnes was until yestcrda
cuarded as the leading democratic candl
ate , but today It Is said the governor Is les
avorablo to him and likely to name a ma :
ho thus far has been little heard of , bu
ho It will bo Is not known. The appoint
lent of J. G. Hutchlnson of Ottumwa as on
f the republicans Is still being urged by th
rleuds of the bill , but the governor has nc
idlcatcd whether ho will grant the request

LONDON , March 24. The Vienna corre
spondent of the Dally News says :
Th.o sudden departure from the Rlvcrln
of Princess Louise of Saxe-Gotha Coburg
eldest daughter of King Leopold of Bolglun ;
end wife of Prince Philip of Saxo-Coburj
Qotha , with the simultaneous disappear
ance of Lieutenant Mattachlch-Ki-glevltcl ;
( with whom Prince Philip recently fotighl
a duel ) , Is now developing In such n man
ner that It Is Impossible to maintain th <
original resolution to preserve secrecy.
At Coburg pa'aco ' the wheretfoouts of tht
princess are unknown. She had money ad'
dressed to her butler at Monte Carlo , am'
'It Is assumed that rJio Is now In Purls
Steps have been taken a't ' Gotha , by ordei
of the reigning duke , whoso consent wet
necessary , to obtain a Judicial separation
By the emperor's express wish the proceed
ings will not occur In Vienna.
At the same time It will bo sought to place
the princess under guardianship as a spend
thrift. Prince Philips' advertisement In
Paris that ho would not be responsible foi
his wife's debts was Just In time to prevent
her ralslnc a loan on the security of her
Jewelry.
A curious feature of the case was an at
tempt made to suppress the advertisement
through the telephone by the unwarranted
use of the name of the secretary of the Aus
trian ambassy , Count Bcrchtold.

We learn that the long cabinet council on
Monday was to consider an Intimation from
the marquis of Salisbury of his desire , actIng -

premiership and the foreign secretaryship.
Our novvs Is obtained from a source usually
trustworthy , but the crisis may take a few
weeks to develop , the queen being abroad.
Lord Salisbury's successors are almost cer

PHILADELPHIA , March 23. What prom-
Iscs to develop Into the ugliest political
scandal ever Inflicted on this city was re
vealed In court hero today when one member
of the council confessed the acceptance of a
bribe , another was accused of a like offecse ,
and two others \vero charged with offering
the bribe- ! .
The whole affair grows out of the ordi
nance offered In the council to lease the city
water works to the Schuyiklll Valley Water
company and the alleged attempt by Nelson
Q. Green of New York , representing the
company , to obtain a favorable report from
the water committee by the payment of be
tween ? 1G,000 cud $25.000.
During recent consideration of the bill In
common council , "Walter 0. Stevenson , a
member of that body , charged that $5,000 had
been offered to him by Peter K. Smith , a
member of the republican city committee , to
vote for the bill.
A councllmanlc Investigation committee
waa appointed end Is still at work , but Dis
trict Attoiney Graham promptly took up the
case , and Smith was held In $10,000 ball , and
today's sensational developments came at his
hearing before Judges Gordon and Bregy. of
the common pleas court. As a consequence
of this hearing Smith's ball In thu same
amount was continued , and his trial has been
set for next Tuesday.
Another councilman , L. J. Walker , de
clared that he and Councilman Edwin E.
Smith had each accepted ? 5,000 from Coun
cilman Charles Segcr to vole for the bill In
committee. He also averred that Couicllman
J. E. Uyram had previously offered him
$5,000 to vote for the bill In chamber , but
he had refused the money acid voted
against It.
The court will resume the Investigation
next Monday. The exposure has created a
profound sensation.
THE WHEELS OF HEALTH.
There is no better exercise for a young
woman In thoroughly good health than
bicyclingOn the contrary , if she. Buffers
from weakness or disease of the distinctly
feminine organs , if she rides , at till , such
exercise should be very sparingly inelulRcd
in. Women arc peculiarly constituted and
tlicir Rcneral licalth is peculiarly dependent
upon the health of the specially feminine
organism.
It is the health of these delicate and im
portant parts that "makes the wheels of
general health go round. " Their strength
and vigor arc as important to a woman ns a
mainspring to a watch , or a sprocket and
chain to a bicycle. Dr. Picrce's Favorite
Prescription is the best of all medicines foi
delicate women. It makes them strong-
where they most need strength. Taken
" interval " it banishes
during tlie "interesting ,
ishes the usual squcamishncss and makes
baby's admission to the world easy and al
most painless. It fits a woman for in-dpor
work and out-door sports. Honest druggists
don't advise substitutes.
" I cannot say enough In praise of Dr. Tierce's
Favorite Prescription , ns U has undoubtedly saved
ray life , " writes Mrs. Florence Hunter , of Corley.
Logan Co. , Ark. " I miscarried four times ; could
get no medicine to do me any good. I tried the
' I'ax-orlte Prescription' nnd after taking several
bottles , I made my husband a present of a
fine girl. I think it is the best medicine in
the world. "
