The plans for the reconstruction and re
arrangement of the yards of the Chicago ,
Rock Island & Pacific railroad In Council
Dluffa have been drawn ami approved and
work will be commenced ( is soon as the
frost is out of the ground. In recon
structing Ita yards , erecting a now passen
ger depot , building a now roundhoufee and
replacing Its present bridges over Indian
creak with flteel structures , the Rock Island
road contemplate * an expenditure of over
$100,000.
The plans which have been received show
that the reconstruction and rearrangement
of the yrdi. with their network of tracks ,
will be decided Improvement over the
present and will enable the company to
handle Its buclnesa , both freight and pas
senger , with greater dispatch and conven
ience.
The new passenger depot , which Is to
replace the fraino structure which has
hitherto done duty an such , will be erected
on the elte of the present building. The
plans show that tt will bo a liandbomc af
fair , substantial and roomy , while at the
same time ornamental. It will be built of
stone and chipped brick , with a , tile roof.
Its estimated cost U between $25,000 and
$30,000 The depot In appearance will be
similar to the one at Iowa City , only larger
and consequently more commodious. For
the convonlenco ot passengers In rainy and
Inclement weather , there will be a vesti
bule on the north tide , enabling parties to
step direct from their carriages Into the
depot without being exposed to the ele
ments.
The present freight depot will Btlll con
tinue to do service , but will be Improved
In several reipects.
The new roundhouse will be located east
of Indian creek. In tbo corner between
Twelfth avenue and the creek. Itwill con
tain nineteen stalls , which will bo eight
more than the preeent one. The round
house will be so constructed that It con be
enlarged at any time la the future If found
necessary.
The coal hutea will bo remodeled and
removed to Twelfth avenue , between Elev
enth and Twelfth streets
Kite New IirlilKen.
Five new bridges , constructed of steel and
resting on stone abuttmcnts , will bo erected
across Indian creek , replacing the present
trestle affaire.
Not only will the yards be reconstructed ,
but they will be brought up to grade. This
In 1U = elf will be a big place of work and
will Involve the outlay of a large sum of
money. The company has bought ground
within convenient distance of the yards
from which the dirt will be hauled and
the grading will be done with a steam
ahovel.
Under the rearrangement , all the workIng -
Ing yards will be west of Ninth street , and
ae the company owns all the land between
there pnd Fifteenth street on which Its
tracks are , the public will not bo Incon
venienced In anyway. One great advantage
of the new arrangement will be that It
will do away with practically all of the
switching over Ninth street , which Is oc
cupied by the tracks of the Lake Manawa
railway
It Is the Intention to have all trains marto
up tn the yards west of Ninth street and
the only switching east ot there that vvlll
bo necessary will be for moving the trains
to and from the freight depot.
The main line track , which at present
runs through the middle of the yards , will
be put on the south side , which will be a
great improvement , as It will prevent pas-
efnger trains being delayed or Interfered
with by freight trams at the switches
Another Improvement that will be car
ried out in the yards will be the paving
of the approach to the freight depot from
Main street. The carrying out of these Im
provements will give employment to a large
number of moo and teams this spring ana
summer.

W. S Moyne , referee In binkruptcy for
this district , has handed down his decision
In the matter of the bankruptcj of the firm
of Qrantz & Glee of Walnut. This Is the
case In which the question has arisen wheth
er the federal court has exclusive Jurisdiction
of the assets of bankrupts or merely a con
current jurlmllcton with the state courts.
Prior to the firm being declared bankrupt
on proceedings brought by several creditors
part of the assets had been attached In the
district court and were In the hands of a
receiver appointed by that court. Under the
bankruptcy proceedings in the federal court ,
W. E. Haverstock of this city was ap
pointed trustee , but the receiver under the
district court refused to turn over to him
the property In his .handti of the bankrupt
firm. Heforee Mayno In his ruling holds that
the receiver must turn over to the trustee
the property In question. The order roads
In part as follows :
It Is found that the property taken under
the bald writ of attachment belongs to the
said bankrupt ostalo and that the suit In
which It was taken was Instituted within
four months of the Institution of the pro
ceeding * herein. It Is therefore ordered , and
the said German bank of Walnut and J. F.
Honim , receiver , nio directed hereby to turn
over to the trustee heroin ( W. B. Haver-
stock ) nil the propel ty taken and held by
them under the decree nnd order of the
said slate court. Alee all moneys coming
Into his hands from the bale of property BO
taken and told by older of court or agree
ment of parties therein That said receiver
tiavo taxed up In Bald state court hlk c\x-
iibcB and compensation as mich receiver ,
not Including nttorncja fees and file a tran
script thereof In thla court , where It will
Ixi treated and allowed ns a preferred claim.
It Is further ordered that the Manning
Mercantile company turn over to the trus
tee heTeln the umount held b > It sough *
to be attached In aforesaid proceeding to
bo held by the trustee subject to the order
of this1 court and that the i > artlcb claiming
priority theieto present and prosecute their
claims thereto herein.
It Is further ordered that the trustee
herein enter hlo appearance In the state
court at Avoca and defend In the replevin
suit Instituted by Deere. Wells d Co ,
wherein certain vvaaons shipped to nnd held
by the bankrupts herein at the time the -Kild
suit in the state court wns instituted by
the German bank of Walnut.
U is not expected that Referee Majne's
ruling will bo accepted as llnal , as the ques
tion is ono of much Importance nnd an ap
peal will , It Is sold , bo taken therefrom
This Is the first binkiuptcy case In this
district In which this question of the juris
diction of the federal over the state couit
has arisen and it Is const quently being
watched with much interest by attorneys and
others.

SIOUX CITY , la , Jan. 27. ( Special )
Tlicro seems to be considerable mystery
about the disappearance from Sioux City of
Mr. and Mrs. Rupert Kurtrrelter. The po-
llco arc looking for them , and so are their
relatives and friends. Just why they have
left so suddenly no ono can explain. Tliey
left no debts , nd so far as known they
had had no trouble. When last seen at their
cosy little homo they seemed to be per
fectly happy and did not appear to have a
trouble on earth. They were only wedded
December 31 at Correctlonvllle , la , Ttien
they came to Sioux City , where the husband
had emplojment and rented a house. The
first thing known ot their going away was
when their landlord received a note from
the man saying ho could take possession of
their house , as he did not need It any longer.
The landlord was told he could take the
furniture and other belongings and he could
sell them If he could get anything out of
them. But just before they left Sioux City ,
their relatives In Yankton , S. D. , received
a letter from the bride saying they would
have to leave Sioux City on account of a
"great falsehood. " No Intimation was given
ns to what this meant , and neither did they
say where they were going. For some tlmo
the husband has been considered "queer , "
but no particular notice was taken of It
until Uie couple disappeared altogether.
The name of the girl before marrlago was
Rose Rothmeler , and her home was at Cor
rectlonvllle , In Woodbury county. A vigor
ous search Is being prosecuted by the police
In hopes that the mjstcry may bo cleared
up.
up.Lato
Late In the night an explanation was of
fered for the sudden disappearance from
Sioux City of Mr. and Mrs. Rupert Kurt/-
relter. U A. Lang , n shoemaker , reluctantly
ramo to the police station and told how the
man had been guilty for the last jear of
frequent criminal assaults his
upon 10-jear-
old child Kurt7rclter had made another at
tempt since his marriage , December 31 , but
the little girl confessed to her parents that
the man hud debauched her for nickels and
other trilling gifts. Ling did not want thu
story to become public , so ho told Kurt -
rolter that he had better leave Sioux City
at once and never come back. It appears
now that the man left nnd took his young
bride with him , but where they have gone
Is not known. It Is possible that the Sioux
City police now will try to nnd him to make
him answer for the crime laid at his door.

Locke libel suit against the Chicago Chron
icle. The verdict for $1,000 rendered by
Judge Spurrier In the Polk county district
court will stnnd. The case is well known ,
the suit having been brought about bj the
publication In the Sunday Chicago ( Jhronlclo
as u feature story , January 111 , 1896 , o au
account of certain Ion a grave robberies , In
which Edwin Moftlt , living at the home of
the Lockos. was accused of being Implicated
and carrying the bones of certain corpses to
the back > ard of the Locke resilience and
boiling them. Mr. Locke sued the company
for $100.000 and secured a Judgment for
$1,000 , which the supreme court nlllrms. The
Chronicle company admitted the publication
of the article , but denied the right of the
plaintiffs to sue U as a corporation of Illi
nois , asserting It had no ofllce In Iowa and
that the agent who represented It In this
Etato at ttie time the article In question
was published was not Its agent and the
service of the notice on him did not affect
It. The court satisfied Itself that the agent
In question , ono Shannon , was authorized
by the company to do business In Iowa , and
therefore the company was responsible for
his acts. There was some objection to the
admission of the testimony of Judge Steven
son and of J. K. Macombcr , but this was
overruled.

The state Grand Army of the Republic
department today Issued an order for the
benefit ot assessors and Boards of Super-
vi'xirs In regard to the statute which cov
ers exemptions from taxations of home
steads of widows of union soldiers and
sailors. It is In line with an opinion
which Attorney General Remley has given
the department. He holds that under the
statute the widow of. a union soldier or
sailor who died during the late war , while
in service or since , should bo entitled to
the prescribed $800 exemption , regardless of
her financial standing or what property she
has. This exemption Is held not to affect
the assessment for the years 1897 and 1898.
but becomes operative only when the real
estate Is assessed In ISIO. The $ .100 exemp
tion under the old lavs Is held to be applic
able to these years. In order to bo entitled
to the exemption the attorney general holds
that any soldier or Bailer who comes under
this provision must bo unable to perform
manual labor and must he dependent on the
exemption for the support of himself nnd
family. If he has other property which
produces him an Income he would not bo
entitled to the exemption , even If ho were
unable to perform manual labor. The sol
dier who comes within the class entitled
to the exemption Is entitled to have $ SOO
deducted from the value of his homestead
and the balance should be assessed to him.

sioner Mason Issued a subpoena for the de
fendant to appear February 6 to plead. If

right of Judgment In federal court.

The woman
who truly loves
her husband
will keep a
watchful eye on
his health. She
will remember
that if liit health
, is neglected , any
telephone call
from the office
may be a message
that he has been
stricken by death.
The average man
does not feel that
he has time to fool
away about trifling
indispositions. He is too busy making
money. He says he leases sickness to the
women folks.
That is the way men commit suicide
tens of thousands of them. A woman can
stand between thisdangcrand her husband
if she mil. A little watchfulness a sng.
gcstion now and then and a little of a good
general remedy always at hand may save
her husband's life. Dr I'icrce'h Golden

OSTEOPATHY
The science of osteopathy was discovered
by Dr. A. T. Still of Klrksvllle. Mo. Dr.
Still reasoned that a natural llovv of blood
is lualth ; and disease Is the offcd of local or
general disturbinco of the blood ; that to
ff
excite nerves causes muscles to tontiact and
compress venous flow of blood to ttio heart , K'
and the bones could be used as lovers to
relieve pressure on ncrve.s , veins and ar
teries.
A Might strain or a sudden jolting may
easily cause a displacement of bone , muscle ,
tendon or organ , and a consequent pressure
on the nerves , thus breaking thn nerve wave
between the bialn and the part Injured ,
and wo then may hive as a it-suit any of
the numerous nilmcntn caused from lack
of noi vo htipply to parts. Seldom IH there
a permanent euro until the machinery Is
righted. Ilenco wo treat headache ( all
kinds ) , weak eje'S , catarrh , hay fever , en
