Mny lie Called.
Attorney A. S. Hnzclton went to Des
Molnes yesterday evening for the purpose ol
conferring with Judge Dcemer of the su
preme court as to a speedy hearing of the
city ; warrant mandamus case. If the case
car bo advanced so as to be heard within
the next thirty days It wilt bo appealed. If ,
however < , an Immediate hearing cannot be
had < and the case will have to take Us
'cot , which will mean that It will drag
along for two or possibly three years before
It Is I finally disposed of , Mr. Hazclton stated
It would ' not be appealed.
Mayor Jennings and the other city offi
cials realize the gravity of the situation ,
and It Is understood that the mayor will
cat n Kpcclal meeting of the city council ,
probably for some night this week , to take
sonic action In the matter. Around the city
hull yesterday the opinion prevailed that
the only way out of the difficulty Is for the
city ; at once to take steps to fund the out
standing warrants. If this Is done it Is
thought that the bonds could be easily dis
posed of at 4 or 4',4. ' and the warrant holders
will be In a far better position than they
arc under the present conditions. As It ia
now , they receive no Interest on their war
rants , which bear C per cent interest until
they are cashed. If they are funded and
bonds Issued the holders of such bonds
would receive their interest half-yearly. The
outstanding Indebtedness once funded the
city can start on a cash basis and with
proper economy meet its current expenses
out of the current revenues. Under the new
law the expenses of the different depart-
mcnts of the city government cannot exceed
the amount appropriated at the commence
ment of the fiscal year and these have al
ready been provided for.
The , city employes are still holding their
lot month's warrants nnd are much excr-
clsed at not being able to 'dispose of them.
'in the case of these who have families to
support | the matter Is a most serious one , as
oven the storekeepers decline to take the
warrants under the present circumstances.

GOOD SUITSTITIITB FOR ItUIHlEIt.
Glneoiic Trnut Set * Forth the Advan

MARSHALLTOWN , 1ft. , May 11. ( Spe
cial. ) The probabilities that the Glucose
trust may soon engage In the manufacture
from corn oils ot a substitute for rubber at
Its big plant here as Indicated in various
dispatches has aroused great interest
throughout the state and especially In this
city , where the business men nro deeply In
terested.
The discovery of the substance was quite
by accident. The glucose company now has
In the neighborhood of forty different prod
ucts of corn on the market nnd a score of
export chemists are kept constantly at work
making new experiments nnd searching for
now discoveries. In this way was the dis
covery ot tbo new substance made.
In the first place the product Is not rub
ber. It Is a vulcanized oil extracted from
tha waste matter left over after making the
glucose. The only use to which this waste
hns heretofore been put Is to grind it Into
a coarse food for fattening cattle. This
substance under certain treatment presents
the exact appearance of crude rubber and
to the purposes to which It will bo applied
it is certainly as good as rubber. In color ,
texture , odor and elasticity It cannot be
distinguished from rubber. While It Is not
rubber , yet by performing fully 40 per cent
of the functions of rubber It will add that
per cent to the lessening supply of the ar
ticle.
In all finished rubber what IB known as
"filling" Is used for the double purpose of
stiffening nnd strengthening and of ccon-
omlzlng in the limited supply. This "fill-
Ing" frequently amounts to 35 per cent of
the whole. For this purpose many different
materials have been tried , but heretofore
none of them have partaken of the nature
of rubber. The glucose officials say that
their new product so closely resembles rub
ber that no difficulty will be experienced
In using fully 75 per cent of It as a "filler. "
A bicycle tire mndo of 25 po * cent of pure
rubber nnd 75 per cent of this substanceCUE
made from corn will retain all its resistance
nnd durability nnd be
In every respect as
satisfactory as those now made , and the
same may bo said of the myriad other ar-
tides mndo of rubber.
The substance , being made from the waste
material , will add nothing to the company's
purchase of corn , but will in all probability
ncccssitato the employment of more labor.
The company announces that It will put the
substance on the
market immediately as
ono of Us regular products , but at present
no attempt will bo made to go Into the rub
ber business other than manufacture the
crude material. THe company Is now Issu
ing circulars to be sent to the rubber trade
everywhere , describing the new discovery
and naming prices on It. The prices , it is
understood , are far below the actual cost of
preparing the crudest kind of rubber here-
tofore. -

SIOUX CITY , May 11. ( Special. )
Paul Ward Beck , a graduate of the Sioux
City High school , In the class of ' 95 , and
Miss Ruth Everett , daughter of n banker of
Lyons , Neb. , are the principals In a roman
tic story , which Involves a secret marriage ,
a South Dakota raade-to-ordcr divorce and
the reunion of the two young hearts in the
love knot , which had already been once tied
and broken. Young Beck Is the son of Cap
tain and Mrs. W. H. Beck , until recently in
charge of the Wlnncbago Indian agency
across the river. He is good looking , tall
and of athletic build. Ho was popular
among the young women of the school. Ho
was a member of the Civics club , took part
'n ' the athletic events of flcld day and In the
romantic war drama , In three acts , "Be
tween Two Fires , " which was presented by
members of the school. Ho was the brave
young soldier hero" who went through the
fire and smoke of battle to win the heart of
n beautiful girl.
Not long after young Beck graduated In
the summer of 1896 he was secretly married
to Miss Ruth Everett of Lyons , Neb. Dur
ing all this time ho paid frequent visits to
Sioux City , spending his time with friends
ma during his attendance at school. His
ma was kept n strict secret.
. . Young Beck was desirous of following In
his father's footsteps. It had been and still
was his ambition to enter West Point. But
he could not enter West Point as n married
man. The plain fact of the matter was that
his . wife was In the way to the consumma
tion of his ambitions.
Some men would have looked upon this as
a rather serious obstacle to surmount. But
the . ambitious and venturesome young
would-bo soldier was quite equal to the oc
casion. As a stage soldier he had made all
kinds . ' of sacrifices , risking his life time after
time. In order to win his stage sweetheart
and make her his wife. Now the young
,
sacrifices In real life. Ho was willing to
sacrifice the pleasure of his wife's company ,
at least for a time , In order that he might
enter West Point.
South Dakota would furnish the solution '
of the problem and a way out of the dlffl-
culty. And to this haven he hied , himself.
Beck got the dlvorW ? he wanted and was
once more a single-man , untrammeled and
unshackled with suctt'an incumbrance as a
wife. "Jt J.
Young Beck took t'ho examination for
West Point. He secured an appointment as
alternate. However"1-the principal candi
date passed the flnal'jcxumlnatlons ' and de
stroyed all of Beck's enhances of getting into
the academy. ' 1
So he married the gfrl 'again.
Young Beck and Miss Everett were rc-
marrled nt Denver'laVt
month. Beck Is a
member of the staffbf'the' ' Rock Mountain
News , published' in Denver. Ho is about 21
years of age. " '
Lout A t'bli' ' .
* Frank Peterson ofsioAx'Clty says he has
discovered the lost art' ' o'f hardening popper.
Just 'U6\V He made''ttfs ' ° startling' discovery
is not known , but aT'any rate he Is showIng -
Ing f samples of his process' and wonderful
results ' have been noted. Some time ago
S. R. Dawson of Des Molnen claimed to
have rediscovered the art ot making Damas-
cus | steel and
hardening copper. He organ-
zed a syndicate to manufacture his inven
tion , but before anything was done he
murdered his
son-in-law and is now serv
ini a life sentence In the state penitentiary
at Anamosa. Peterson has also served time
In the same prison and it was upon his re
turn from that
place that he showed sam
ples ot hardened copper. He has secured
patent and has a shop in Sioux City in
which be Is turning out some ot the product.
Whether or not this Is Peterson's Invention
it makes no difference with the metal it-
self. It 'Is certainly wonderful. A knife
blade will take and keep a razor edge and
resists ordinary efforts to bruise it. The
composition Is not brittle and Is a perfect
electrical conductor. It is thought It will
be Invaluable for trolly wheels and machine
boxings. Flyjng grains of sand or dirt will
not injure it as in the cose of ordinary cop
per boxes. It Is contended that It Is harder
and more durable than Babbitt or typo
metal , but under the hammer is as mallea
ble as ordinary copper. Peterson says b
will form a company to push his patent
and he hopes to make
himself a rich man.

CHATTANOOGA , Tenn. , M y 11. Camp
George II. Thomas at Chlckamauga park is
rapidly undergoing demolition. At dnybrcnlt
this morning , the work of breaking camp
was begun by a number of the regiments
and in few hours thereafter places which
have been covered with while tcnls for
some lime were again vacant and deserted.
Officers and men of all icglments now in-
malnlng nro giving their tlmu and attention
to tbo preparations for departure and the
regular routine ot camp life hue boon en
tirely suspended. The first ttoopri to go nro
those of the Third cavalry. They wcr J
loaded on special trains at Hossvlllo about
9 o'clock , and started through to Tampa
over the Soulhern railway. The Sixth cav
alry got out n few hours Inter , coins to
Tampa over the same route. The two regi

8. S. Sumncr. The Second cavalry , under
Colonel Hunt , will probably got out for
Mobile late this afternoon , and iho First
and Tenth cavalry , under Colonel Ilaldwln ,
will leave about the same tlmo for Now
Orleans. Two of the Infantry regimcnU will
march nlno miles to Rlnggold and take
cars for Tampa tomorrow morning. The
three remaining will follow as rapidly as
possible. The Indications are r.ow that nil
the commands with their equipments will
bo gone before Friday noon. The .ontract

ceed In Hcfentlnir Him.
NEW YORK , May 11. Captain E. L.
Zellnskl says of the new situation created
jy the return of the Spanish fleet to Cadiz :
the report Is true , it would appear to
indicate that It is the intention ot Spain to
practically abandon Cuba and Porto Rico ,
with the hope of recovering and holding the
Philippine Islands. They would , in that
case , send this fleet , with additions , to the
Philippine Islands by way ot the Suez canal.
Without any possibility of Dewey receiving
any notable reinforcements , except the
,
Charleston and some land troops , the Span
ish fleet would bo much superior to the
United States fleet at Manila. No other re-
. .
[ nforcements are possible. It would seem
: .
that the Spaniards , being hopeless of suc
cess in American waters , are reaching out
Jcl
for ) the only direction In which they can
:
force a success.
"To meet this , the Charleston and the
troops being assembled on the Pacific coast
should be dispatched 40 Manila as quickly
as possible. The expedition should be ac
companied by vessels conveying ample sup
plies of coal , food and ammunition , not omit-
ting an outfit for defending the entrance of
Manila harbor with submarine mines. Ad-
mlral Dewey thus reinforced , could stand
some chance of holding the Spanish forces
In check , acting this tlmo on the defensive.
Our naval forces , heavily outmatched by the
Spanish naval forces , would probably have
a chance to counterbalance this by a more
effective co-operation of the shore batteries
than was given by these last to the Spanish
fleet" .

SAN ANTONIO , Tex. , May 11. Three
hundred and forty cowboys from New Mexico
ice and thlrty-nlno society leaders from
New York arc the latest acquisitions to
Roosevelt's riders. Among the men from
the east are Craig Wadsworth , ono of the
best polo players In America ; Basil Rlck-
etts , a son of the late General Rlcketts , who
has served two years' apprenticeship on a
Colorado cattle ranch ; Hamilton Fish , jr. ,
another noted polo player ; Horace Deve-
rcaux of Colorado Springs and the Prince
ton foot ball team ; William Tiffany of New
York , a social favorite and a leader of
cotillions , but who can boast of a long ex
perience on western ranch and range ; Ken
neth Robinson of the Knickerbocker club ;
Reginald Ronalds , half back In the Yale
foot ball team , and Holllster , the Harvard
sprinter.
There , will be about fifty of these college
and club men In nil , but their wealth and
Influence will secure them no special con
sideration In the regiment. Ono of them
may gpt a lieutenant's commission and two
or three are likely to bo made noncommissioned
missioned officers , but the rest will serve
as troopers on a perfect equality with the
rest of the men.

likewise.

the justice of this declaration , but designated
tbo supposition that England has such In

SANTO DOMINGO , May C. ( Special Cor
respondence of the Associated Press. )
Negotiations for the conclusion of a
political and commercial treaty have
been conducted by the minister of the
United States for some months and now
glvo fair promise ot complete success so far
as the desires of the American government
are concerned.
The correspondent of the Associated Press
hns it from the very best authority that
the terms of the proposed treaty arc Im
mensely more favorable to America than
these of the treaty of 1804 between the
United States and Haytl. The significance
otwl this statement may be partly judged
when It 1 remembered that the Haytlen
treaty gives to America , as agalnSt any
enemy , In tlmo of war , privileges of the
utmost importance.
