served with notices yesterday that suit
woum bo brought In the district court at
tho September term to recover S1.712.CK. nt.
leged to be duo tho county by Morgan nt tho
nine no retired trom the otUco of sheriff.
At the expiration of Morgan's term of
olflco tho Board of County Supervisors em
ployed Thomas Bowman and Spencer Smith
to make an Investigation nnd examination
of tho books and accounts of the sheriff's
office. The results of their investigation
showed that Morgan was Indebted to the
county In the sum of $1,712.65. Of this
nmount $1,170.99 was alleged to be fees
wnicn Morgan hud collocted, but had failed
to turn over to the county treasurer. The
remaining $536.66 represented the nmount
paid In salaries to the sheriff and his dep
uties over nnd above the receipts of the
office. The law provides that the salaries
paid the sheriff nnd bis deputies shall not
exceed the receipts of the offlee.
Yhen the result of the examination of his
accounts wns ciado known to Morgan he
claimed that he bad paid every cent that
was due from him Into tho country treasury
and that a mistake must have been made
somewhere. He Intends to fight the suit
and will employ an expert accountant to
go over his books and accounts.
Morgan has been seriously 111 for several
months and for this reason tho countyboard
delayed In bringing this action. It was also
hoped by the county supervisors that a set
tlement could have been effected without
taking tha mutter into the courts, Mor

DOLLIVER SUCCEEDS GEAR
Governor Shaw Makes His Appointment to
United Stitcs Senato,
CUMMINS WILL GO BEFORE LEGISLATURE
Ills Friends Hny They Will .Unite it
Wiirm 1'lKut nml Foci fture
tluit They Will Win Out
In the i:iitl.
DES MOINES, Aug. 22. (Special Tele
gram.) Governor. Shaw has appointed
Congressman J. P. Dolliver of Fort Dodgo
United States senator from Iowa to suc
ceed John Henry Gear. Tho appointment
wis announced at the cxccutlvo office thlj
cvtnlng. Governor Shaw seat tho following
telegram to Mr. Dolliver:
"To J. P. Dolliver, Fort Dodge, la.: Have
ordtrcd commission inado out appointing
you United States senator. As soon as
the 6a mo Is prepared It will bo signed and
forwarded. LESLIE M. SHAW."
Mr. Dolliver was eugaged In Joint debate
with Champ Clark at Allcrton, Wayne
couuty, today nud is expected in the city
tomorrow. Mr. Dolliver is ix resident of
his own district, tho Tenth. Tho appoint
ment of Mr. Dolliver will preclude the
liOBslblllty of Shaw ever attaining to n
scat in the senate, which has been bis
ambition. Tho appointment, the gorcrnor
believes, will bo satisfactory to tho whole
of tho Tenth district.
While some ot tho members ot the pres
ent legislature from towns In that dis
trict havo been friends of A. B. Cummins
In his contest for the placo of tho late
John H. Gear, tho appointment of Dolliver
will put a new faco ou tho situation tor
them In the opinion of tho governor, and
whllo they might have voted for Cummins
formerly they will hesitate beforo they
ote against Dolliver to throw him out
ot tho federal srnatc. Mr. Cummins will
make tho light beforo tho legislature.
McCiirthj'H View of Appointment.
C. G. McCarthy said tonight: "If Dol
liver and Cummins had been In each oth
er's places and the governor had appointed
Cummins Mr. Dolliver and his friends
would not havo laid down and they would
havo been Justified in declining to do so,
Just so with Cummins. He Is urged by his
friends to mnko tho fight, for it Is an hon
orable contest and they are certain ot
victory. I procured flfty-slx members ot the
legislature who asked Governor Shaw to
appoint Cummins. That is throo less than
a majority of tbo republican caucus. 1
offered to get seven more It tho appoint
ment was delayed. Mr. Cummins can do-
foat Dolliver in tho legislature and la.
side of a year and a half It will bo United
States Senator Cummins."
Tho friends of Mr. Dolliver Insist that
there la no way In which he can bo de
foated. They ridicule the claim of tho
Cummins men that there are even six mem
bora of tho legislature who como from
dlstlcts in tho Tenth district that will
vote for Cummins. They Insist that the
appointment Is satisfactory to tho entire
district. They believe that tho governor
ascertained tho actual deslro of tho whole
legislature beforo he made the appoint
ment. They nro well satisfied with tho
situation.
The appointment leads to a complication
on congressional' affairs In tho Tenth dis
trict. While he' onventlon that nomi
nated Dolllvcr'nivo tho central committee
power to select his successor, It Is be
lieved that a convention will be regularly
called. There, will bo many candidates,
Senators Healy, Finch, Garst, Judgo J. P.
Connor, Fred Kuchnle, Gardner Cowlcs
and maybo others. Judgo Connor Is from
Denlson. He is tho original Shaw man
and It Is believed that In tho appointment
of Dolllvor Judge Connor's chances for
congress woro greatly Improved. This is
merely political gossip.
Call for People' l'nrty.
Chairman A. W. C. Weeks of tho middle-of-the-road
people's party today tBsucd a
call for the state convention, which ho
says will bo held Tuesday, August 23, in
this city.
Tho committee of Des Moines citizens
who have been investigating tho Mabol
ScoQcld caso for several months past to
day completed tbo work of raising an ad
ditional reward of $2,000 for the convic
tion of tho murderer or murderers of the
dead girl. Citizens ot Macksburg, tho home
of tho Scofleld family, Lorlmor, Wlntorsot
nnd other neighboring town contributed
liberally to the reward, and Treasurer
Fagen will, within a few days, publicly
offor the amounts subscribed for the con
viction ot tho guilty parties. This will
bo In addition to the governor's reward ot
$500 offered on n showing of evidence in
possession ot tho committee
John Cownio ot tho Stuto Board of Con
trol returned today from Mount Pleasant,
where he went to Investigate tho case of
John W, Stone, the superintendent ot the
industrial department, who is charged with
selling state Institution supplies. Mr,
Cownio found that tho man, who Is a
graduato of the Instituto for Fccblo Minded
at Columbus, O., Is guilty, but that this
la his first offense and tho goods sold
amount to only something like $100. He
secured a complcto confession from Stono.
Stone, it seems, Is weak minded and his
attorney says that a Des Moines detective
and a Des Moines crook, who recently
served n term in tho asylum, are morally
responsible for leading him into the gamo.

any of them will finally vote to eject htm
from a seat in tho senate, which ho will have
held for over a year, nnd retire him to
private llfo. Mr. Dolliver will resign his
I seat in the house immediately In order
'that his successor may be chosen at the
coming election. Little attention has been
given hero to the district's successor, as
all posslblo Fort Dodgo candidates have
voluntarily laid aside their ambitions to
advance the cnuso ot Mr. Dolliver. It has
been thought probablo that Crawford, Car
