attorneys for tho appellant mado a Ktato
ment that the attorneys on the othor sldo
were In fact representing tho owners ot tho
Oakland property and their appearance for
tho board was simply a secoudary considera
tion. Attorney Kimball, one ot thc counsel
for tho appellant, attempted lo get Into the
record a certain written contract with tho
attorneys for tho board, but was overruled
by the court.
Another uparrlng match occurred between
counsel at tho afternoon session when tho
attorneys for the appellant attempted to
Introduco as part of their caso tho records
In tho former appeal, claiming that tho par
ties to tho appeal were tho samo as in tho
former and that thu cose had once bcn
adjudicated. This was disputed by tho
board's attorneys, who proved that the ap
pellant In this caso was F. J. Day, whereas.
T. L. Smith was the appellant In the former
suit, and further that Day did not appear
as ono ot thc par lien Interested In tho
former appeal. This being tho caso tho
attorneys for tho board contended that tho
appellant could not claim a former adjudi
cation and that tho present appeal must
stand on lt.s owu nundts. Tho county su
perintendent upheld tho contention of tho
attorneys for tho board.
Pint. H. W. Sawyer, former county su

UKS MOINES, May 21. (Special Tele
gram. ) "Ilavo no fear that tho National
Congress of Mothers wilt take any stand
upon tho question of equal suffrage," said
Mrs. Theodore W. Blrucy, president of tho
congress, this morning. "There has never
been a year since tho congress organized
that an effort was not mado to secure tho
endorsement of tho congress for the move
ment of equal suffrage. But o have never
taken action upon it, and wo probably uover
will, and I think thcro Is no reason to be
lieve that tho resolutions committee will
bring such a resolution In upon tho floor
of the congress. You sec, we aro a con
gress of mothers, all tho mothers of the
nation, and could we afford to champion a
causo which nil tho mothero of the land do
not advocate? Thcro arc some mothers
who believe In equal suffrago and some
who do not. We could not afford to divide
our strength and our purpose by digressing
upon these lines."

FORT DODGE, la., May 21. (Special.)
A warrant was lately Issued to search tho
prcmlbcs of Charles Conling, a farmer liv
ing four miles went of Rockwell City. Tho
information was tiled for the purpose, of
discovering if possible tho whereabouts of
his lS-ycar-old eon, who mysteriously dls.
appeared about a year ago, since which time
nothing has been heard of him. Thcro
were ugly rumors afloat nt tho time, hut
suspicion was partially warded off by the
mother, who claimed to receive letters from
him, intimating that tin wan awny from
homo. Although tho matter has In a
measuro passed from tho attention of the
community, nothing would luve been done
toward finding him but for thc death of
thn mother a short tlmo ago. Beforo death
she realized that her tlmo on earth was
short and tho pangfl of conscience could not
longer bo tolerated. Sho took advantage
of tho llrst opportunity to unload hcr bur
den of guilt which sho had carried during
the tlmo ut his ahaenca and confessed that
she had no knowlcdgo of hln present where
abouts, which is taken as a truo state
ment. Tho warrant was rdaccd In the hands
of an omcer, who made a careful and
thorough search of tho place, but found
nothing to throw any light upon tho my'
tcry. The father was Btied lust year by a
Miss Orris for tho support of hcr child,
claiming that ho was lt father. Thc caso
was decided In' favor of the defendant.
Kvcry effort has been made to find bomo
trace of the missing young man, but up to
tho present time nothing has been found.

At a meeting of tbo directors of tho
Union Stock Yards company held on Wednes
day General Manager Kcnyon was authoilzed
to continues the paving of the puns and
alleys with brick and this work will be
pushed as rapidly as possible. During tho
last few months a considerable portion of
tho hog divisions havo been paved with
vitrified brick and It Is the Intention of
tho management to continue this work. Old
planking will bo torn up and replaced with
solid brick pavement laid on n bed of rand.
This kind of pavement is easily kept clean
and can be flushed after each day's business,
which makea it far more desirable than
wood, besides, there is practically no wear
out to the brick pavement as laid at tho
stock yards.
