In the district court yesterday the case of the State of Iowa against Isaac Dlcker- fion was continued by stipulation In definitely and the prospects arc that ho will never stand trial again. Isaac Dlckerson v.ns vice president of the defunct Cass County bank of Atlantic and the criminal ihargo against him was In connection with the failure of the bank. At the former trial held before Judge Thornell two years ngo the Jury failed to agree. Since then Dlckerson , who Is now living in Missouri , lias rapidly failed in health and It Is very doubtful If he will ever bo able to como Into court again. James Snodderly was granted a divorce from his wife , Mary Snoddorly , on the grounds of Inhuman treatment. The suit of U. J. Morgan against C. R. Nicholson was dismissed at plaintiff's cost. Among the Indictments returned by the Brand jury was ono against Mlko Kgan , a fraloon keeper on South Main street , who had omitted to pay his license. Ho was ar rested and gave bonds for his appearance. Another Indictment was against W. C. Ut- torback , the well known livery man on Bry- nnt street. He la charged with obtaining property and money under false pretenses from Pat Fccney. In 1895 Fecney owned a half Interest In the livery stable In the old Dohany block on Bryant street and ho claims that Uttcrback Induced him to trade Ms Interest and glvo $500 cash additional In exchange for ICO acres of land In Mis souri which the latter cfalmcd to own Fcency charges Uttcrback with defrauding him and alleges that there Is no such land ns that which Uttcrback traded him. Ut- iferback sajs that the land cnrao to him through another trade , but that ho had never looked It up and was not certain whether thcro was such land and claims he eo Informed Fccney when making the trade. The case of the state of Iowa against Weeks and others was dismissed. The suit was Instituted for non-pnymenl ! of liquor license about a year ago , but the defendants lia\o since compiled with the law and paid nil the costs of the action. The defendants against whom Indictments \\cto returned and who arc In custody were arraigned yesterday and all took time to plead. In the superior court yesterday the suit of E. C. Smith against C. W SmaUwood and the First National bank of Manchester , la. , was commenced. The suit ) Is to decide the ownership of a note for $52422 given by BmaTlwood to A. L. Wellman Wellman as signed the note to Smith , but the bank se cured possession of It from II. J. Wellman , n brother of A. L. AVellman's , who depos ited It with the bank ns security. Sniall- need Is willing to pay the note and has deposited the amount In court and the suit Is to determine who Is entitled to the money.

TERMINAL GROUND FOR ILLINOIS CENTRAL llnlril Derilfl llio Properly in the1'orl Ilmlur A. Oninlin Itonil WlilHi linn Jnnt lloon Chariot-oil mill Will Soon llnllil. Indications now point to nn almost cer tainty that within the near future another railroad will bo running In here. Less than two weeks ago L. P. Jtidson of this city conveyed to William Balrd 374 acres of land situated north of the city along the river. The consideration named In the deed filed for record here Is $14,272.60. This set the people guessing and nt the time It was thought that the land had been purchased by Batrd for some railroad. Yesterday William Balrd filed n deed for record In the county recorder's ofllco here which conveys the 374 acres he purchased from Judson to the Fort Dodge & Omaha Railway company , the con sideration named being $14,973.60. The Fort Dodge & Omaha Railroad com pany but a couple of days ago filed articles of Incorporation with the secretary of state nt Des Molncs. The articles of Incorporation place- the capital stock at $5,000.000 nnd state that the Intention of the company Is to build a railroad from Fort Dodge. la. , to Omaha , vl.i Council Bluffs. John F. Dun- combe Is named as president of the com pany and the fact that for years he has been the solicitor in Iowa for the Illinois Central lends coloring to the supposition that the new road will bo a branch of the Illinois Central. Julius L. Rinne nnd Otto F. Nau are named ns secretary and treas urer , respectively , of the new road. Dubuque - buquo Is the principal place of business of the new company and this lends encourage ment to the Idea that the Fort Dodge & Omaha road will he but a connecting link for the Illinois Central. The articles of Incorporation state that the road will be built from a point on the Dubuque & Sioux City railway , somewhere In the neighbor hood of Fort Dodge. The opinion among railroad people In this city Is that the Fort Dodge road will enter Omaha over the Terminal company's bridge. Other 1'urclinnco. In addition to the Judson trnct which Is now definitely known to have been pur chased for the Fort Dodge and Omaha road , It would appear that other purchases of large pieces of property within the city lim its were made for the same company. The Rohrer property , comprising half a block duo west of the Northwestern depot nnd facing on Broadway , Is believed to have been purchased for this company for a depot site. It would glvo the road close connec tion with the Terminal company's tracts on Union avenue , also with those of the Union Pacific and would mean direct connection with nil the lines running Into the trans fer depot. Another purchase of city property made was cloven plaitted blocks on Noith Thir teenth street , extending from Broadway and about n mile of unplatted land extend ing to the city limits. This Is believed to have been purchased for the same road , as the same party who engineered the other deals effected this sale. The purchase of these properties Is hollered to Indicate ihdt the now road will establish shops at this point. John L. McCaguo of Omaha is be lieved to be the party who Is back of these purchases for the Fort Dodge and Omaha road , as ho has been in this city a great deal of late. None of the purchases , how ever , he been made In his name , moat of them being made to William nnd E. G. Balrd of Omaha.

Jones of the Fifty-first Iowa regiment writes his parents from San Francisco that every precaution Is taken to Insure the men nt the camp at Presidio the best food obtainable. Ho brands as a canard the story that the men have been compelled to eat bad meat. The letter says : The papers had a story about our being very dissatisfied and ha\lng to eat spoiled beef and wormy bacon , but if you see such stuff published you may set It down for a mado-up btory. "Wo have hnd some bacon that was not very good , and It was con demned before \\o \ had time to cut It. An other time wo got some beef that had not been bled or something else was the matter with It , anyway , the commissary olllcers seat us word not to use It , and some fresh meat was hent up at once. In e\ery respect the rations are good , and wo have plenty to eat. I say this because I know that some of the boys have been writing some stories that would load one to belle\o that wo were be ing half staned and th.U what we did eat was unclean. The most of thesa stories were started by fellows who presumably want the women and girls to bring them lunches of cake and pie , so when they get a chance they rnako their stories as bad as they can. I have been to several dinners and lunches , but I never asked for them nor made any suggestions that would make ono believe I was In need of anything to eat. EX-ciovunMMi noinsox SII.VEU.
