The annual meetlnc of the Iowa Stoto
Library association will bo held In this city
September 20 to October 1 , Inclusive. The
sessions will bo held In tbo rooms of the
public library In the Merrlam block nnd the
librarian , Miss Peterson , and the members
of the board of trustees will assist In pro-
vldlng accommodations and caring for the
delegates who may attend. Miss Petcreon
has been In correspondence with A. H.
Johnson ot Fort Dodge , president ot the
state association , but as yet 1ms received no
definite information as to the number ot
delegates who will bo present at the annual
meeting. The membership of the assocla-
tlon comprises the librarians and other oflla
ccrs of the public libraries throughout the
stato. The last covernmcnt report shows
that there are In the nelehborhood of 100
public libraries in the state , although hardly
that number of delegates is expected to be
In attendance at the meeting. The National
Library congress meets In Omaha at the
same date and this will probably attract a
larger attendance at the meeting of the
state association than usual.
The meeting of the state association here
will be a purely business one and the
greater part of the three days It Is expected
will be spent by the members attending In
Omaha taking In the congress and the at-
tractions of the exposition.
Miss Ella McLonoy , librarian of the public
library In DCS Molnes , Is secretary of the
state association. Officers for the ensuing
year will bo elected at the meeting here.
The Crown piano artist will be here by
Thursday. Watch the announcement of the
Bourtclus music house on that day ; 325

UENEFICIA11Y GETS UtlT LITTLE.
Kcvr Point In Inanrniioc Lnvr knlil
Down lijr JiulRp Smith.
Judge Smith of the district court , before
leaving for Sidney to open , the August term
of court there , handed down an Important
decision In the matter of the defunct Coun-
ell Bluffs Insurance company. The decision ,
which sustains the demurrer of W. W. Loo-
mis , the receiver of the company , to the petl- '
tlon of Intervention of R. M. Barkcley ,1' ,
Vail , la. , is particularly Important , not because , - '
cause of the amount involved , but because
the question passed upon is practically a ,
new one. i
Barkcley , the intcrvcnor , Insured a hotel I
nt Vail , la. , with the defunct Council Bluffs ;
Insurance company , September 22 , for
$2,000. One-fourth of this amount was re j.
insured by the Council Bluffs company In
the Dubuque Fire and Marino Insurance
company. The hotel was partially burned on
April 4 , 1895 , and the damage was appraised , j
at $850. When W. W. Loom Is was appointed i
receiver of the Council Bluffs Insurance
company he , aa s'ich , collected from the j
Dubuque company one-fourth of the ap
praised loss on Barkeley's hotel , $212.50.
This amount , however , waa not paid over
to Barkeley and he received nothing from
his Insurance. He intervened in the recelver-
ship suit , claiming that the sum collected
from the Dubuque company ought to be paid
over to film. Receiver Loomls demurred on (
the grounds that this amount was part of
the general assets of the Council Bluffs In-
surnnce company and not a trust fund and .
that therefore Barkeley should take his
chances with the other creditors of the defunct - j l
funct company. In his decision Judge Smith
J
tak.es the receiver's view of the case and | ,
sustains the demurrer. The case will likely
be taken up oq appeal to the supreme
court
Hefore. .lutlu - Aylemvorth.
In the superior court yesterday Judge
Aylesworth heard the motion for a writ of
error against Justice Vlen In the case ot i
James McCalmont against Klnkald & Push. j
McCalmont sued Klnkald & Pugh In Justice
Vlen'a court for $15 , which ho claimed as i I
/ages due him. The defendants tendered
nnd paid Into court $8.85 , which they nsi i
sorted waa the full amount they owed him. I
A Jury found for jieCalmont in the sum
tendered by tli d fonAant , but Justlco VJen
held the money paid tn by them for the
costs , which were taxed to McCalmont. The
latter took the case to the superior court
on a writ of error , on the grounds that
Justice Vlcn had no right to hold the money
for the costs and Judge Aylcswortb sus
tained Ills position.

American Trading and Transportation com
pany. The amount consigned to the Cana
dian Bank of Commerce Is $600.000.
A majority of the passengers were men
who went to Dawson In lost year's rush.
They hav no gold , but lots of experience.
Tbo fortunate- passengers numbered about
seventy-fivo. Of these probably twenty-five
had uraba'oly $16.000 each. The amounts

George Carmack was the discoverer of the
Klondike. He located the first claim on

glsh" Charley are full blooded Indians. 1
An unusual incident attending the arrival
of the Roanoke was tfie holding and searching -
ing of the passengers and the baggage for

William Folmer. $9,000 , nnd Dr. C. F.
Adams of Chicago , $900. The gold was
taken from a state room on the Roanoke
while It was lying at St. Michael. There Is
no clue to the thief. A search of the vessel i
was made nt St. Michael before It left , but :
with no better success than was achieved
today. I
Another robbery Is reported to have oc- |
currcd on the river steamer Cudahy between
Dawson and St. Michael. Some one got hold i
of a sack belonging to "Stlcket" Jim , on

DBS MOINES , Aug. 30. ( Special Tele
gram. ) The Fifty-second Iowa , 850 strong ,
under command of Colonel Humphries , ar
rived this afternoon on a train of thirty-
six sleeping cars run In three sections. Ono
hundred were sick , thlrty-flvo of them bor
dering on the seriously sick. The latter
were taken to the College hospital , while
the other sick were taken to the hospitals
altl Camp McKlnley. The regiment traveled
three days and three nights through a hot
and ; dusty country and this afternoon the
day hero was the hottest and dustiest ot the
summer. The boys all seemed glad tp get
back to Iowa. Largo crowds met the trains
at the depot , but because It was known
atl
that 12 per cent of the men were sick no
great .demonstration was made. The regi
ment 'will bo mustered out within a month.
The city Board of Health this afternoon
quarantined Camp McKlnley.
In the federal building this morning fifty-
three filings were made In fifty-four minutes
upon a tract of 1,230 acres located In Palo
Alto and Clarke counties. Some eight or
ten persons took their station last evening
and remained at the federal building all
night , among the number being one woman ,
Miss Bally of Palo Alto county. The
greater number of these persons reside In
the district that has been opened and they
appeared anxious to get the first file on their
land , although they strenuously assert that
they virtually own the land , having squatted
on It prior to any others. The opposing
clement asserts the claims of th original
squatters will be declared null and void
under the law and all given an equal show.
The strip of land which has been opened to
homestead entry was formerly erroneously
Included with Lost Island lake. This
error being discovered , a new survey wns
made In the spring of the present year by
special order of the commissioner of the
general land office. The land ofllco has
not as yet Riven any decision or opinion
and It Is probable the question will be con-
tested.
Governor Shaw and a largo number of
promlncnts left for Dubuque this evening to
attend the republican state convention.
NOVEL SUIT TO 1JE THIED IN IOWA
TTVO Women Coiitemlltipf for the
K In-lit tn Te n Demi Mnii'H AVIilotv.
ADEL , In. , Aug. 20. ( Special. ) There are
some true stories that surpass novels In
their strange circumstances and develop
ments. Qne of them was to have been trlei
a the next term of the district court In
Adel , beginning next week , though It Is non
likely to bo postponed until another term.
In the early 50s Henry Lawrence nnd his
wife , Sophia , were living together in n
southern state. There life was very happy
for a considerable time , but after a few
years 3 difficulties arose and he finally de
serted her about 1S57. He kept out of sigh
till t the war broke out and enlisted In the
service , remaining till the close of the con-
test. Then he settled In Kentucky and mar-
I .
rled a young woman who , as Agnes Lawrence -
rence , Is defendant In the present case. They
!
lived together in peace for many years
, none ! of their neighbors , nor , Indeed , th
wife herself , suspecting that their marriage
was Illegal. But ono day the bolt fell. Wlfi
No. 1 appeared In Madison , Ind. , wneretthi
couple resided , and assorted her claim to bi
the , legal wife of Henry Lawrence. Ho de
nled , It and denounced her as an imposter
Nevertheless the second wife refused ti
longer live with him unless ho would clea :
himself of the imputation of bigamy. Si
ho left Madison and came west , locating
first In Dubuque , and afterward near Daw
son. In this county.
While hero ho secured a divorce from
wife No. 1 and then No. 2 came on from
Madison and they were married again. HI
health failed and ho soon returned to Mad
ison and lived there till his death , twi
years ago. His widow applied for a pen
slop nnd it was granted. Afterward , wlfi
No ! 1 applied also , but was informed by th
pension agent that she was no longer th
wife of Henry Lawrence. This was new
to her , so she claims , and she cmployei
attorneys ' to Investigate the matter. Th
result : is this suit asking that the divorc
secured | by Henry Lawrence from Sophia
Lawrence be declared void on the groum
that ; it was secured by fraud and mlsrep
: resentatlon. Ordinarily the court would do
cllno ' to decide which of the women Is en
titled to be considered the widow of a deai
man i , but In this case It Is different. Law
renco left no estate , so that it Is not now
the subject matter of the controversy. Thi
reason : each woman IB so anxious to bo de
dared i the legal widow of the much marrlei
man : Is that the widow la entitled to the
pension i during her lifetime , unless she
marry i again. The controversy Is apt to be
n i warm ono nnd some Interesting thing

the situation as to the republican candi
dates. Merrlam practically had things bis
own way for auditor , but Hartshorn's
friends arc trying to array the Gear and
Cummins factions against each other , ex
pecting to draw enough from the other two
to land the nomination. Mcrrlam's friends
arc still claiming his nomination on the
flrst or second ballot. Remley for attorney
general has suffered a decided slump , many
of his votes , especially in the Third dis
trict , having gene to Sims of Council Bluffs.
Mowry , for railroad commla loner , made
some gain because of Chairman McMillan's
declaration in his favor. Sammls Is confi

slightly and that his chances have Improved
today. It Is likely that either Congressman
Cousins or State Senator Funk will be per
manent chairman. The general desire to
have Senator Gear at the head of the plat
form committee makes it Improbable that
he will preside , though ho has been promi
nently mentioned for the place.
