BROADWAY MAY BE MENDED
Colonel Baker Starta a Movement for the
Repair of the Roadway.
INSPECTION SHOWS ITS NECESSITY

That the present condition of Broadway
from the Northwestern depot to the motor
company's bridge Is a disgrace to the city
Is generally conceded , especially when It Is
taken Into consideration that Lower Broid-
way Is the main thoroughfare between this
city and Omaha and has to bear the brunt
of 03 per cent of the travel between the
two cities. Colonel W. r. Baker , chairman
of the Board of County Supervisors , nan
taken the matter In band nnd will endeavor
to have some action taken by the city look
ing to the Immediate repair and Improve
ment of the thoroughfare Yesterdiiy after
noon Colonel Baker accompanied a number
of prominent business men and property
owners over the street with a view to securing -
curing from them their opinions as to what
would be the best method to pursue In Im
proving the condition of this much traveled
street.
The condition of I/ower Broadway is at
present almost as bad as when the old vcdar
blocka were In evidence before the slag
macadam was laid. The slag macadam has
not turned out tn be what was claimed for It
and the street Is today as rough as "the
rocky road to Dublin. " Boulders of the
slag are sticking up through the top layer
of gravel and crushed slag and In places
there are holes deep enough to trip nny horse
unlucky enough to get Its feet In them.
Constant tiavel of heavily loaded wagons
has caused the slag to be ground to fine
powder and dust , which In places Is several
Inches deep. On a windy day this makes
driving on Lower Broadway anything but a
pleasure. Then again , as It will be remem
bered , but a strip but alxtccn feet wldo was
paved with the slag macadam , leaving the
old block paving on both sides. This pav
ing Is now wearing away next the macadam ,
leaving deep ruts that are fast becoming
( i source of danger. In all over $11,000
was spent by the county and city for this
Improvement and no care whatever has been
given It. When the city council was asked
to appropriate $75 as Its share of the ex
pense of sprinkling for a year It refused
to spend the money. The contract with
Guanella & Company , who did the work ,
provided that the city should retain $1,000
as a guarantee that the clause of the con
tract providing that th contractor would
keep the street In repair for the terra of
one year should be lived up to. This money ,
however , at the request of the contractor ,
was handed over to him after the work was
finished , he filing In Its place a bond for
that amount. Several times the attention
of the city council was called to the fact
that the contractor was not living up to
the terras of the contract and on a number
of occasions resolutions were passed to the
effect that ho be notified to place the street
In repair according to his contract. This U
as far as the action of the council has gone
and the year during which the contractor
was supposed to keep the street In repair
expired last Juno and Colonel Baker real
izes that It Is now Impossible ot compel
Guanella & Company to do anything In the
matter.
There Is quite a respectable rum In the
count } road fund which Is at the disposal ol
the city , It being that portion raised from
taxation within the city limits and Colonel
Baker's proposition is that this be spent In
putting Broadway In a good condition before
the winter sets In. The business men who
accompanied him on a tour of Inspection
of the road yesterday afternoon are all ol
the opinion that the thoroughfare needs Im
mediate attention.

Decision li > JUIKC Mney.
Judge Mncy yesterday afternoon handed
down hU decision In the suit of Charles J.
Konlgmachcr of this clt > against the Webt-
ern Mutual Life association ot Chicago ,
heard before him at this teim of court , Kon-
Igraacher sought to recover the sum of $7J
paid by him on a policy of Insurance nud
for n reclslon of the contract , claiming
that ho was Induced by the company's agent ,
C J. Wetzell. to take out the policy of In
surance for $5,000 under the representation
that the company was au old line concern ,
when In fact It was a mutual assessment
concern. In his decision Judge Macy or
dered that the contract of Insurance be
rescinded and annulled as prayed and that
the premium note bo returned and sur
rendered and further that Konlgmacher be
given Judgment for the $75 premium paid
by him and costs. U Is said that this case
was n test ono and that several more of a
like character will bo brought.
Judge Macy also handed down his decision
In the case of A R. Prentice et al. against
H. A. Terry et al. , which was argued be-
fora him Tuesday. The suit was brought to
secure the adjustment of the boundaries of
the accreted lands lying along the banks
of Bojer lake and the court was asked to
appoint a board of commissioners to de
termine the ownership of the accreted lands
resulting from the drying up of the lake.
Judge Mncy sustained the demurrer of the
defendants on the ground that It appeared
the disagreement was as to the rule of law
which should bo applied as to determining
the boundaries and not as to the facts or as
to the boundaries themselves. The plaintiffs
were given permission to amend their peti
tion.
tion.The
The defendants In the suit of Alice C.
Stork against the Supreme lodge of the
Knights of Pythias gave notice of appeal.
In this case the plaintiff secured Judgment
for $3.000 and Interest on a contested policy
of Insurance held by her deceased husband
In the order.
The Chicago & Northwestern railway
fifed notice of appeal against the decision
of Judge Macy granting the Fort Dodge &
Omaha railway an Injunction restraining It
from condemning certain land recently pur
chased by the Fort Dodge & Omaha road.

materialize Tuesdn } . Tlie local agents 10-
cetved orders from headquarters calling
them oft until today. It seems to liavo boon
the ncrccment that rach road bliould run
a special train out of IJes Molnee , lca\lng
at C 30 this morning , hut the Hock Island
took time by th * forelock and ran Its 3 30
train as a special , being therefore enabled
to land excursionists In Omaha about
four hours ahead of KB competitors. Thcro
\vcro COO tickets fold o\cr the Rock Island
this morning and the regular trains were
crowded with passengers from the eastern
part of the state. An excursion train of
eighteen cars came down o\er the Hurling-
ton , Cedar Haptds & Northern and was
taken o\er the Ilock Island last night. On
the Northwestern nu excursion train left at
G 30 this morning , carrylmr about eighty
passengers. It was to he Joined at Ames by
another train for excursionists from eastern
Iowa. The Des Molntfl. Northern & West
ern was very much disappointed In the
number of excursionists that graced the
platform In front of the union depot this
morning when It was time for Its special

a march on Its competitors and secured all
the business.
Frank Chlttenden , a workman , fell with
a smokestacks , from a window of the federal
building , thirty feet , this afternoon and
now lies at the point of death. He can live
but a few hours. Ho had been working with
a gang of men elevating a smokestack from
the alloy on the cast side of the building
to the roof of the bulfJlng preparatory to
erecting It there. Pulleys had been ar
ranged to hoist the sections of the stack.
One section of the stack was being elevated
and had been hoisted twenty feet and was
between the second and third floor windows.
Chlttenden went out on the window sill of
a second story window nnd pushed the stack
clear of obstructions. It stuck between the
necond and third floors and Chlttenden
again went out of a. third story window. He
stepped down on a window sill and took
hold of the stack. In some way the pul
leys were loosened and both man and stack
fell to the pavement below In a mass.

CAR THAT LI.1COLN RODn 1ST.
IntrrcxtlnK Rcllu Dlncntcrcil nu the
.MfiN u City & I'ort UoilRe Itonil.
FT. DODQD , la. , Oct. 2C. ( Special. ) This
city has here a railway passenger car with
perhaps moro romance and interest attached
to It than any other car In the couutry ,
and in a few days little trace of Its origi
nal appearance will bo left. It is the car
which Abraham Lincoln , the martyred
president , rode ln when he was on his wuy
to bo Inaugurated nt Washington In 1SC4.
The coach has beat in use ne.irly every day
since It was brought here elo\on years ago.
Recently It was one of a train to go through
a bridge at Lehich , a short distance fiorn
this city. When It lJ taken In It will ha\c
completed Its iiRefulness , an 1 this wei'lc is
Its last for active duly.
The car is now the property of the Mason
City & Fort Dodge railroad. It was bought
by that line about eleven years ago from
the Great Northern railroad. The Great
Noithern people bought it from the Balti
more & Ohio road and used it for man >
years before disposing of it to Its present
owners. It wan while In the possession of
the Baltimore & Ohio line that President
Lincoln used It In that memorable ride to
assume the duties of the chief executive ot
the troubled republic.
The coach Is a very old-fashioned looking
affair now , and IK one which the laziest hobo
would look at many times before attempting
to ride in It. The Interior Is finished In solid
black walnut. The original upholstery wan
long ago removed , and a red plush covcrlnfi
has succeeded It. The windows are little ,
narrow affairs , and It Is , strictly speaking ,
ono of the most antique-looking affaire eve >
seen on a railroad In this state. It Is what
Id now known UH a combination coach , con-
sisttng of passenger and baggage compart
ments. The Identity of the car was not
generally known until Sunday afternoon ,
when Headmaster 13 H. Maute of the Mason
City line told It to a party of friends who
were looking for relics of the wreck which
occurred on that line last August.
Superintendent Grant , whoao office Is in
this city , haa ordered the car to bo taken
off the road the last of the month and re
built. It Is very likely that the historic car
will little resemble Its former appearance
when It Is put Into commission again.

Mrs. Barker , HvlnT In a small unplastcred

some choreb and loft a pleco of cloth hang

The cloth caught flro and when that part
of it next to the stove was consumed the
remainder dioppcd so near the wall , which
had been lathcil but not plastered , that the
lath caught flro and , being as dry as tinder ,
the llames spread with great rapidity. The
mother had left three children In the house
and the oldest ono ran out to tell her that
the 'jouso was on fire. The mother ran to
the house and rescued the youngest child ,
but not In time to prevent Its being burned
so badly that Its life Is despaired of. The
remaining child , who was Just able to walk ,
was so blinded by the smoke that It lost
Its way and , getting behind the door , could
not escape , and was almost completely con-
eumcd , only a small part of the body being

SIOUX CITY , Oct. 26 ( Special. ) Thi
fight made by one faction of the dcmooratli
party In the Fourth Judicial district of lowi
to keep the name of A. L. Bcards'ey of Slou ;
City off the oQlolal ballot for the office o
judge , and In which effort the opposln ;
faction was successful , has cooked the gcosi
of the nonpartisan judiciary in that dig'
trlct for a long tlmo to come. For the las
few jears the Judiciary has been non
partisan the republicans in the last teru
had three Judges nnd the democrats one
This division did not suit some of the ag <
gresslve members of the dcmocratli
party and this year they resolved to mak <
a light for two Judges. They fell by tin
wayside and the next term will see a con'
tlnuatlon of the nonpartisan plan. Ilu
when that Is ended , unless there Is a radlca
change In the situation , each party wll
name Its candidates and It will be a batth
at the polls as It was In years gcno by. Thl :
condition of affairs Is distasteful to man ]
members of both parties , but they realize
that there Is little that can bo done tc
patch up the differences and icllovo thi
future Judges from having to mix up will
the common herd nt the polls. While Mr
Beardsley , who Is a young man , met wltl
defeat before a vote was cast , he will prob >
ably be heard from at the next judicial
election. Ho has many friends and wll
make all duo preparations to secure a prize
next time.

SIOUX CITY , Oct. 26. ( Special Tele
gram. ) It appears that there was semi
fraudulent manipulation In the securing of t
hecond democratic judicial .onventlon In thi
Fourth district of Iowa. Ono faction of thi
democratic party , political enemies of Judsi
F. R. Gaynor of Lcmars , the nominee o
the first convention , wanted a second con-
ventlon held to secure another candidate litho
the hope of defeating Gaynor. To do this
a majority vote of the central committee
was necessary. The commlttceman from Har
rlson county , Robert Harris , a friend am
"supporter of Gaynor , was opposed to tin
hecond convention and his vote was tbi
deciding one. Some man In Sioux City , rep'
resenting himself to be Judge Gaynor , tel
ephoned to Harris at Missouri Valley asklnj
him to vote for the convention , the spcakei
saying it was In Gaynor's Interest. Han is
supposed It was Gaynor talking and vote *
by proxy for the second convention. Now li
appears Gaynor was not In Sioux City ani
the telephone message cmlnatcd from th (
ofllco of ex-Judgo A. VanWagenen , a polltlea
enemy of Gaynor. The aftalr has resultec
in much unpleasant comment in the dis
trict.
