feetThere
There was considerable discussion ovei
the clause reserving the right on th © par !
ot the city to allow other railroads to crosi
the tracks of the Fort Dodge & Omaha road
Alderman Johnson produced a copy of thi
city ordinances showing that such a clausi
existed In the ordinances under which th <
Burlington and Rock Island roads wen
operating. Mr. Duncombe Insisted that th <
franchise of the Northwestern contained n <
such clause , and thought that to Include i

unanimous vote.
After a waste of considerable time thi
ordinance was placed on the third readlni
and passed , the company agreeing to pa ;

ROOSEVELT TALKS ON MEA1
Suyn Some Kind * nf It Were Good anc
Some Very Hud Evidently
Chemically Treated.
ALBANY , N. Y. , Jan. IS. Governoi
Roosevelt stated today that he had writ'
ton a letter to Major General Miles con >
cernlng the condition of the meat furnlshcc
during the Santiago expedition. Genera
Miles , at Washington , has made rcferenci
to the receipt of the letter. The governor
as colonel of the regiment of Rough Rid' '
ore , submitted a report to the War depart
ment in September last which contalnec
practically the same account of the condl
tlon of the beef as was set forth in hi :
letter to General Miles. The governor li
his letter stated that four kinds of bee
were furnished to the Rough Riders fron
the time they left Florida for Cuba untl
their return. The first of these was cornei
beef. Its quality was good. The salt In th <
meat seasoned the other articles of fooi
and the men found It quite palatable. Th
second kind was canned roast heel
which was without flavor or tast
and would turn the stomachs of those wh
ate It ; . It was stringy and tough and with
out any qualities which would render tt
flt article of food. There was but one wa
In which the men could cat It , and that wa
by making it Into a stew. Fresh vegetable
were not always obtainable and stews coul
bo made only occasionally. When the Roug
Riders left Tampa a large quantity of spe
dally prepared beef was placed aboard th
transport on which they embarked. Thi
beef was In quarters and was stored In th
forward end of the transport. It had bee
prepared by some special process unknow
to Colonel Roosevelt , but supposed to b
with eome form of solution. The transpoi
was out from Tampa but a few hours whe
this beef began to smell. Tiio stench wa
so great that the men avoided the forwar
end of the transport as much as posslbli
The meat could not bo eaten and It wa
thrown into the ocean.
A fourth kind of bpef was served to th
Rough Riders at Santiago after July 25. 1
was of good quality and was brought t
Cuba in special steamers with refrigerate
facilities. Governor Roosevelt's official re
port was accompanied by reports of th
quartermaster and surgeon ot the regimen
and those of several olllccrs.
Governor Roosevelt Is known to greatl
regrel the turn the trouble In the War ilc
partment seems to be taking , as he feel
that it Is not so Important to fix the blam
as it is to prevent the recurrence of th
conditions that gave rise to the controversy

alncd the motion for a dismissal at the

iromlneut young society man who was ar
rested last week upon a ground of obtaining
money under false pretenses , ho having
stolen a pad ot blank but signed drafts and
Using them at his convenience. The judge
sustained the motion upon the ground that
no fraud was shown. The judge , however ,
Immediately issued a bench warrant for
Worthlngton's arrest upon a charge of fov-
; ory and President Robertson of the IONVJ
National 'bank swore out a warrant on a
charge of uttering a forged Instrument ,
Worthlngton was arrested and pleaded not
guilty and Ills trial was Bet tor Thursday ,
Bob CaJlahan , rather a notorious local
character , was arrested this afternoon here
by local detectives upon a charge preferred
by Deputy Marshal L. A. Clearman of Iowa
City , of breaking Into the vault of the Uni
versity of Iowa In that city and stealing ? 500 ,
a few nights ago. Callahan was once
sentenced to serve ten years for stealing

The Fonda line of the Des Molnes , North
ern & Western will bo extended this year tc
either Canton , S. D. , to connect with the
Iowa & Dakota division ol the Milwaukee ,
or to Sioux Palls direct.
"The Milwaukee is going to do a great
deal of railroad building in Iowa this year , "
declared R. . N. Calkins , general passcnget
agent of the Northern , "and the Northern
will come in for the biggest share. "
This is a big thing for Des Molnes. II
Is the best railroad news that Des Molnes
has heard for years. It Is not a stub lint
connection or a branch running in twelve
miles to catch capital trade , but a sound
trunk line reaching into a vast territory
The extension of the Fonda line moans e
great deal to Des Moines. The line will pass
through the best counties of northwestern
Iowa Buena Vista , Pocahontas , Cherokee
O'Brien and possibly Lyons. The new lint
Will reach that country direct , but will hav <
the advantage of connection with the pareni
system which controls the bulk of the busi
ness in Dakota today.
The Milwaukee has in store for this yeai
hundreds of miles of extension. The com
pany has not only made up its mind t (
extend the Des Molnes Northern & Western
but will also extend the Iowa & Dakott
line from Chamberlain , S. D. , to the Blact
Hills country. This extension will pass ovei
the reservation and tap all the cattle coun
try. A bill recently passed the senate per
mitting the erection of a .bridge . over the
Missouri at or near Chamberlain.
This extension has been talked of foi
some years , hut not until lately has it takpr
any definite form. The Northwestern hai
controlled ell the cattle and other shipping
from the Hills country In the past. Fron
the fact that the. Iowa & Dakota divislot
will be extended from Chamberlain it 1 ;
more than likely that the connection ot th <
Northern will be at Canton , S. D.

Action Taken to Ilextore Land , to tin

CHAMBERLAIN , S. D. , Jan. 13. ( Special.
The local United States land officers ar <
sending out largo numbers of notices , notify
Ing the recipients to appear before then
within thirty , days and show cause wh ;
their land entries should not be canceled
The number of notices will aggregate fron
200 to 300. This action Is the result o
personal Investigation In the field by F. C
Crocker , special agent of the general lam
office , who spent about three months It
looking over the Chamberlain land district
When the Sioux reservation was throw :
open to settlement e large number of spec
ulators rushed into the coveted territory anc
as a result a large area of valuable lane
was covered In this way. Many of thesi
claimants have since done but little It
the direction of securing title to the landi
and as the matter stood actual settlers wh (
have since come into the country lookinj
for homes have been compelled in manj
case * to Institute expensive contests in orde ;
to obtain the privilege of filing upon claim :
that were clearly abandoned. The evil wai
so widespread 'that ' the government re
solved upon heroic action , as of late then
has been quite an Influx of settlers am
an Immense number of Inquiries respectlni
government lands. In every case rcportei
by the special agent where the clalman
Is unable to show good faith It Is pre
sumcd that the entry will at once be can
celed by the general land office and th
land restored to the public domain. Nov
settlers will therefore bo able to secur
good claims without being compelled to gi
to the expense and worry of initiating i
contest for the land. As fast as the Urn
set for a hearing In the several cases ar
rives the local land office forwards th
papers to Washington , and about a dozei
caess are now being disposed of dally.

DEADWOOD , S. D. , Jan. 13. ( Special. )
John Duffy has Just returned from tlie At-
lln country , Alaska , where ho has been forever
over a year. Ho will remain in Dcadwood
several days and will then return , accom
panied by his wife.
In Juno of last year it was reported that
gold had been found in now diggings In the
Atlln country. The police ot the city heard
of the discovery two days before It was
known outsldo nnd they rushed into the
country and took up most ot the best
claims. Mr. Duffy and his partner located
fifty claim's and they got from $20 to $50
apiece in gold for them. This is an entirely
now district , which has not been prospected
much. It is very rough and cut up by
glaciers , many beds of old streams being
found on top of the mountains. Lake Atlln
Is soventy-sovon miles duo cast of Skaguay ,
A railroad Is being built from that city
across the range and Mr. Duffy states that
1,000 men are working on the other side of
the summit and the- road will bo completed
by spring. Canadian capital Is building the
line. About fourteen miles of the gold-
bearing belt of the Atlln district lies on
tbo American side and extends fifty miles
across on the British possessions. Mr. Duffy
states that the Canadian government will
soon mnko a radical change In the mining
laws. There has been a great deal of whole
sale land-grabbing , especially among the of
ficials of the government. The new law will
permit a man to have ono bench and one
creek claim along every discovery creek.
The locator must be on the claim in person
from the 1st day of Juno until the 15th day
of September and In case he is found .absent
his claim can bo relocated by anyone else
and the first locator loses his Improvements.
Mr. Duffy states that the law will go Into
effect next June and that there will bo a
great many chances to make relocations , for
It will bo Impossible for those holding sev
eral claims to properly represent them all.

The bearing of children is a duty which is ihe crowning
event in t wife's life. Nature imposed this duty , and it was
never intended to be an occasion of dread or extreme pain.
Many times the expectant mother is not strong enough in the
reproductive ocgans to undergo the ordeal. Other women are
overanxious arid fear takes possession of them. Their state of
mind is pretty sure to be reflected in the child. The period of
pregnancy can bt passed in a serene frame of mind and with an
almost entire absence of distress if Wine of Cardui be taken. Its
good effect will readily be noticed by the patient , and will show
in the little one when it comes into the world. Labor pain *
will be greatly lessened , and recovery will be quick and sure.
The organs will at once resume their normal condition , and
there will be none of the terrible after-effects which often wreck
