CITY LOSES FIRST ROUND
Motion to Dissolve the Motor Company's
Injunction Overrulod.
WILL NOW HAVE TO ATTACK FRANCHISE
Hotillt Mnln Street Suit Is Slowly
hllpplntc Into Ilrep Wutcr mid
Property Owners Aro lle
cmuliiK Itcstlcis.
Tho first round In the district court In
the controversy between the city and tlio
motor company over tho Uttcr's rights on
South Mnln btreet has resulted adversely
to the municipality. Judge Green yester
day ocrrulcd tho motion of tho city to
dissolve tho tompornry Injunction secured
by tho motor company restraining the city
from Interfering with Us work of laying
a second track on tho street In dispute.
Judge Orcca hold that the contention of
tho city that the Injunction could not be
Issued without notice being first sorved on
the city was of.no forco In the caso at
bar, but gave tho city Ieavo to prevent the
riu sluing grounds of tho motlou.
Ir. order to scouro a dissolution of tho
Injunction tho city will now havo to show
that the motor company has no right on
tho street and that the franchlso under
which It claims to havo tho right to lay
u second track Is Invalid. By tho time tho
court gets ready, however, to hear this
pbaso of tho caso the motor company, In
all probability, will havo entirely com
pleted Its work on South Main street and
will, It la expected, dismiss tho Injunction
proceedings on Its own account, Then the
city If It elects to proceed further will bo
placed In tho position of tho attacking
party nnd any further proceedings will
have to be commenced by It.
The fight on tho part of tho city ngnlnst
tho motor company may result In tho mu
nicipality having further litigation on Its
hands, as property owners on South Main
sttect aro seriously talking of taking a
honrt in tho mnttcr. Those property
owners want the money which tho motor
enrpany paid to tho city for the portion
of tho paving between nnd ono foot, out
sldo of the track which It has Just laid.
This money belongs to tho property owners
who originally pntd for this paving and
they arc raising objections to tho city with
holding It from them. Tho amount paid
In by tho motor company wbb $4,09S and
with tho exception of about $G00, which
reverts to tho city for tho Intersection
paving, should bo. divided pro rata among
tho owners of tho property abutting on
South Main Btreet between Eleventh aud
Sixteenth avenues.
There Is talk of theso property owners
bringing mandamus proceedings agr.lnst
the city to compel It to accept the motoi"
company's check for tho monoy nnd to
distribute It without further delay among
thoao to whom In right It belongs.

HULL'S PLAN NOT A HIT POl'ULAH.
Council IllnffN Iteinbllciiii Object to
tlit Dm Main Arrangement,
Advices from Des Moines yesterday wero
to tho effect thnt tho politicians had al
ready outlined a plan for tho readjustment
of the congressional districts of tho stato
undor tho census and apportionment of
1900. The plan as proposed would affect
tho Ninth district materiality and will be
strongly opposed by leading republicans
of this city and county. The census shown
tho population of Iowa to bo 2,231,863 and
It Is asserted that tho congressional dis
tricts must thcreforo bo nrranged on n
busts of a population of 202,1)00 to a dis
trict. This redisricting will come before
tho legislature In Jantinry, 1002, unless n
special session should bo called next year.
Tho plan which hua been proposed In
Des Moines as far as tho Ninth district Ib
concerned Is to tnko Mills, Montgomery
and Adair counties from It and put them
In tho Eighth district, giving tho Ninth dis
trict In their placo Sac county from the
Eleventh district nnd Crawford and Car
roll counttos from tho Tenth district. At
present thr Ninth district Is composed as
follows:
County. Pop'l'n.1 County. Top'i'n
Adair lfi 1W Montgomery ... 17,8ni
Audubon 13,020 I'ottawattnmle.. GJ,n3t
Cnss 21,274 Shelby 17 !I32

bo:

Theer aro many reasons local republicans
say why such rearrangement of tho district
should bo opposed. In the first placo. It Is
claimed It would Imperil tho republican
complexion of the district and In doubtful
years glvo the democratic party a good
fighting chance to elect a congressman.
The removal of Montgomery county would
not bo sanctioned for a moment. It Is
tho strongest republican county In tho dis
trict and is nlwnys looked to. save tho dis
trict In a closo light.
Stato Senator Hazlcton, when ho learned
of the plan being formulated said he
would oppose It from tho very start. In
his opinion there Is no need for any chango
In tho Ninth district, as tho present popu
lation Is about the right ratio.
Postmaster Treynor regards tho rear
rangement as absurd and docs not believe
that It can ever bo carried Into effect so
far as this district was concerned. Ho
said: "We would not for a moment allow
them to take away from us such good re
publican counties ns Mills and Montgomery
and glvo us In exchange democratic coun
ties, such as Crawford and Carroll. Sac
county Is always doubtful nnd on tho
ragged edgo until tho vote Is counted. No;
this plan will never do. Personally I do

not think the committee on congressional
districts would ever sanction any such re
adjustment." Congressman Smith said tho plan was
unsatisfactory from every standpoint.
Such a rearrangement would put Congress
man Conner and himself lu ono dis
trict. Thomas C. Dawson, former chairman of
tho county central committee, said: "Such
n rearrangement of tho Ninth district
would, In my opinion, be suicidal. As tho
district Is outlined under tho proposed plan
of adjustment, I doubt If onco In the last
ten years It would have given n republican
majority except this year, which was a
phenomenal one. It would undoubtedly
Imperil tho republican complexion of tho
district and I do not sea how any such
plan could have possibly been suggested In
good faith, I see, however, by the Dcs
Moines parers that It has been, but beforo
tho matter comes beforo tho stato legisla
ture there will bo many changes. There
Is no reason that I can sco why the Ninth
district should be disturbed, ns Its popula
tion nt present Is tho right ratio under
the recent census."

District Court Note.
Tho fruit tree contract caso of D. J.
Fogarty agalnBt Simon Olson, a yonng far
mer of Harrington, Nob., was brought to
a sudden closo In tho superior court yes
terday afternoon, whon Judge Aylcsworth
took it awny from tho Jury and ordered a
verdict roturned for tho defendant. Tho
defenso set up tho contention that Olson
being a minor at tho tlmo ho Is said to have
entered Into tho contract, under the laws
of Nebraska, tho contract as not binding.
Tho court sustained this contention as it
was clearly shown that the defendant It
ho entered Into any contract nt all, did
so In tho state of Nebraska and not Iowa.
In tho district court a Jury was Impanolcd
yesterday afternoon to try another fruit
treo contract case, the plaintiff being Free

DES MOINES, Nov. 21. (Special Tele

tho lato John Sherman of Ohio, died nt
his home In Des Moines tonight, aged 79.
He was ono ot tho earliest settlers, coming
here moro than fifty years ago and begin
ning publication ot a newspaper cnlled thi
Gazette. Ho was mayor of Dcs Moines In
1854 aud held other city and federal offices.
Ho was aflllcted with paralysis about fif
teen years ngo and the nows of the death
of his brother brought on another Btroko
which resulted fatally. His son, Hoyt Sher
man of Salt Lako City, ono of tho benefi
ciaries of tho will of John Sherman, arrived
today. Tho deceased was also left 10,

J. A. T. Hull, tho Iowa member of tho
republican congressional campaign com
mittee, who has been In consultation with
stato politicians here, declares that tho
membership of tho next congress will not
bo enlarged, but will remain practically as
at present and tho basis of representation
bo increased to 209,042. Ho has figured out
an cntlrn now districting of tho Btato of
Iowa. Inasmuch ns tho last districting of
Iowa was mado when severnl of the dis
tricts wero closo n big Job of gerrymander
ing was Indulged In nnd somo of tho dis
tricts wero awkwardly constructed. Ono
district was carved out to bo a democratic
district so that all tho others would bo
republican, but even tho ono which wns
set npar as a sort of reservation for tho
democrats, has becomo converted aud Ib
now reliably republican. No gerrymander
will bo made this tlmo.
To tho First district will bo added Davis,
Wnpclloand Keokuk counties, and Wash
ington nnd Louisa will ho subtracted.
Theso two wilt bo given to tho Second dis
trict and Jackson will be tnken away. From
tho Third district Franklin and Wright
will b- subtracted and Grundy added,
Franklin will go to tho Fourth and Worth
bo taken from It. Jackson will bo added
to tho Fifth In plnco of Grundy. The Sixth,
having three good counties, will have added
to It Lucas. Wayne, Appanoose, Marlon and
Warren. Tht Seventh will havo Greene,
Boono and Hamilton added to tako the
placo of Madison, Warren and Marion.
Tho Eighth, havlngOost three counties, will
get Madison. Adair, Mills and Montgomery.
To tho Ninth In placo of tho threo last
named counties will bo given Sue, from
tho Eloventh and Crawford and Carroll
from the Tenth. To mako tho Tenth tho
right size it will bo given Clay aud Dick
inson from tho Eleventh, Worth from tho
Fourth and Wright from the Third. Tho
Eleventh will lose Clay and Dickinson.
The present congressmen will not be dis
turbed by this arrangement, except In the
caso of Judgo Conner of tho Tonth dis
trict, tho newly elected member to succeed
Dolllvor. Ho will bo shifted over Into tho
Ninth district. All of tho districts will
be reliably republican under this arrange
ment and tho weak districts will bo ma
terially strengthened, so that In tho next
ten years thero will bo small chanco for
the democrats to break Into tho solid dele
gation. Captain Hull Is reported to ba
very much In favor of a redisricting of
the stnto along the lines Indicated. The
work cannot bo dono until Just beforo tho
congressional elections of 1902, as tho leg
islature will not meet next year.

Iowa cigarette smokers had almost for
gottou that Iowa has a stringent law for
bidding tho sale of cigarettes or cigarette
wrappers until they were reminded of the
fact by un agent of tho tobacco trust this
week. Tho agent went quietly about among
tho dealers nnd notified them that tho
Amcrlran Tobacco company would no,
stand back of the dealers In enso they got
Into trouble over selling clrarettes con.
I trary to law. Hcretoforo tho dealers have
felt securo becauso the tobacco makers
wero willing to stand tho expense of any
suit that might bu brought. But a do
cislon by tho federal supreme court in n
Tennesseo cbbo In which a law similar to
the Iowa law waB held to bo constitutional
and regular, compelled tho tobacco people
to glvo up. This decision is to the effect
that tho tobacco dealers could nnt
the penalties of tho stato lutv by pleading
sales In original packages. Tho Iowa law
requires payment of a feo of $300 a year
for tho privilcgo of selling cigarettes.
Nono of tho dealers feel like paying this
sum and nil of them stopped selling
soon as tho support of the tobacco trust
was withdrawn. Tho users of clgarottos
aro In a great stow ever tho unexpected
action, but It Is Impcsslblo to buy, beg or
steal n cigarette In Dcs Moines. Presum
ably tho Bamo action will bo taken in
every towi of tho state.

Tho epidemic of typhoid fever at the Iowa
Stato college, which a few weeks ago caused
much harsh criticism of the college man
agement, may now be considered at an end,
the full board of trusteca having met at
Ames nnd unanimously approved tho meas
ures taken to end the epidemic and tho
care given patients. Thero aro now no
cases remaining. At ono tlmo It was ro
ported thero wero more than 200 cases
among tho students at tho college, and un
doubtedly a very lurgo number of the stu
dents wero affected moro or less. Tho cause

purchased for use In the kitchen at tho col
lege. This Impure milk was tho result of
carelessness on tho pnrt of a farmer in
providing a water supply for his llvo stock.
When tho cause wns discovered tho epidemic
was soon ended. Now tho board has ordered
that tho milk used by tho college Bhall bo
