The council Is also expected to tnke

tion of Alderman lloycr, who believed ho
could secure n better proposition than
i per cent. The bonds cannot be sold
on tho open market, ns such n course
would Increase the city's Indebtedness
nbove tho constitutional limitation. There
must ho n numuul exchange of tho new
bonds for tho obi ones and, this being the
case, city olllclals do nut believe that the
bonds can be Issued for less than 414 per
cent. Somo of the nldermcn hnvc sug
gested that tho bonds be Issued with an
option to redeem at ten years. If this Is
decided upon It Is doubtful, City Treasurer
Truo believes. If tho holders of the old
bonds would bo willing to exchange them
for short term bonds, which such an op
tion would make them.
Tho bonds nro now carrying 6 per cent
Interest nnd to refund them at even 414

D13S MOINES. Aug. (. (Special.) A let
ter received from one of a party of a
dozen Lies Moines girls who arc touring
Kurope together Indicates that they have
been subjected to an entirely unjustifiable
Indignity nt tho hands of a man named
flessnor, who Is United States consul or
vlco consul at n small town In Switzer
land, nnd thnt a complaint is likely to
bo flled with the State department against
him on behalf of the young women. Their
friends declare they will Insist on his
removal from his post.
His offense consisted of writing for a
Chicago evening newspaper a lurid nr-
count of the alleged experiences of tho
party of lies Moines girls In Europe. Tho
story told of their various exploits rep
resented them ns having visited the vile
resorts of Paris nnd to have associated
with tho most notorious roues of tho
wicked city, ns having Indulged In mid
night lunches In questionable restaurants;
as having received the attentions of a
great innny Frenchmen nnd, In general, in
dulging In scandalous conduct. The ar
ticle nsscrted thnt It was represented to
tho Europeans that the girls were heir
esses and ns a consequenre many of them
had received proposals of marriage from
unknown dukes and titled men.
A letter from Miss Margaret Jones, ono
of tho party, states that there was no
foundation for tho article, but that Gcssnor
met them nnd they had n few minutes' con
versation with him, and he made the story
out of his Imagination and sold It to tho
Chicago paper. Tho party is being
chaperoned by Mrs. Macombcr, who has
had experience In travel In Europe, nnd
nt tho time tho article nppeared tho rela
tives of the girls were much concerned
about It.

Another controversy over a printing bill
for tho state of Iown hns Just been added

Tho printing hns Just been finished. Tho
bulletin is a folio volume of 300 or 400
pages and tho hill for printing, amounting
to over J1.300, was presented to the secre
tary of stuto for approval about two weeks
ago. Ho refused to approve tho bill. He
took tbo ground that tho law providing
that tho geologic board might print bulle

was Intended to cover cases where great
hasto was needed and where tho bulletins
were smnll and comparatively inexpensive.

but It Is not certnln the stnte auditor. In

tho subject of "grasses" and In the opinion
of somo of the stato officials the stnto
geologic board hns no authority to enter
Into such a subject.
Troop to He Mnateretl Out.
It now seems probable that Troop A of
tho Iowa National guard, which was to
have gono Into camp nt Council Muffs with
tbo Second brigade, will be mustered out
and not attend the encampment. Adjutant
General llyers has been anxious to hnvo
tho troop go to tho camp and tho Inspector
general hns dono nil in his power to en
courage the troop, which Is the only ono
In tho gunrd, to prepare for tho encamp
ment. Tho troop had not been Inspected
nnd Inspection day was set for next Tues
day, but anticipating that tho troop will
fall below tho required standing and bo
ordered mustered out, tho captain has writ
ton the adjutant general requesting tho
mustering out. If this Is dono It Is un
likely tho process of dlsbandmcnt will be
delayed until after tho encampment. '

wns for the recovery of alleged back taxes,
due on tho estate of Ellas Cadwell, for the
years 1S95, 1S96 and 1897, which wero claimed
by Dallas, Webster and Kossuth counties.
The suit was argued at Adel last February,
all three counties being represented by Ipgal
talent. The further claim waB put forth by
Webster county, nnd was argued at the
some time, that back taxes for the years
1894 to 1899, Inclusive, were duo the county
on account of Cadwell's having mado his
rcsldenco within tho county lines during
that time.
Judge Applegato's decision sustains tho
constitutionality of tho tax forret law lu
this respect, coinciding with tho decisions
previously rendered by Judges Weaver and
Prouty. Ho differs trom theso two Judges
before mentioned, however, In his con
clusion that tho legislation permitting the
collection of taxes omitted from assessment,
does not apply to taxes which were omitted
prior to tho time when tho statute wns
yustcd. la Ostobcx. Ml, but oujy to .taxes
which wero omitted since that time. In
other words, he holds that the statuto Is not
retroactive, which Judges Weaver and
Prouty grant, but that It is prospective only.
This ruling destroys the claim of Webster
county ln the case, as back taxes as far
back as tho year 1894 were claimed. Tho
decision will be appenlod by both Webster
and Dallas counties and possibly also by
Kossuth.

MI'MCIPAIi GAS IN ITAIjY.
.Severnl Cltlei liml Profit nnd Other
lleiielltx In It.
During recent yeare the municipalization
of public services has gained popularity In
Italian cities, says the New York Journal.
Tho old-tlmo notion thnt tho city was tho
worst posslblo administrator has been dis
carded, i
Numerous cities In Italy havo recently
assumed the management of the gas supply.
Padua, Como, Spczla, Vicenza, Voghera,
Astl, Viticclll, Udlno nnd Itczzlo-Calabrla
havo established municipal service, whllo
other cities have the mntter under coti3ldtr
ntlon, notwithstanding tho hostile attlludc
of nationnl legislation. All of theso cities
are of medium size and Importanco. Tho
larger cities, such as Naples, "Home, Milan,
Turin nnd Venice, which by tnklng over
theso undertakings would open a plentiful
source of Income, aro bound by long-term
leases with corporations.
In Padua, with over 00,000 Inhabitants,
near Venice, tho financial results hnvo boon
excellent. Uctwecn August 1, 1896, and
September 30, 1897, tho price of gas was
tho samo as charged by tho company. Tho
estimated profits for this period of fourteen
months wero about $54,000. Tho profits
actually realized amounted to about $58,000.
The net yearly profits of the scrvlco are
now, with reduced prices, about $14,000, and
aro used for the liquidation of tho loan.
Within ten years tho municipality will own.
free from debt, a rovenue:produclng plant
and have a relatively large Income, which,
under prlvato management, would have
gono to speculators,
To this net profit may bo added properly
$9,000 saved to tho city In the cost of public
lighting. This expenditure, $18,000 prior to
municipalization, Is now less than $9,000.
Tho laborers of the department have also
benefited by municipalization. A special
fund has been instituted for their benefit.
This is formed from contribution by tho
laborers a 3 per cent deduction from their
salaries nnd a contribution on tho part of
the city of 7 per cent of tho salaries paid.

How the Contest Will Turn.
(From a Staff Correspondent.)
DKS MOINES, Aug. I. (Special.) The re
publican state convcutlon nt Cedar Rapids
on Wednesday of this week, where there will
be nominated a candldato for governor,
lieutenant governor, Judge of the supremo
court, superintendent of public Instruction
nnd railroad commissioner, will havo 1,611
delegntcs, making S21 necessary to choice of
a candidate; and there Is little doubt that
every county will be fully represented nnd
that there will bo many more visitors nt the
convention than delegates therein. Not for
many years has any convention of the party
attracted so much Interest as this one.
Whllo the fight hns been strongest on tho
head of the ticket, thero aro contests fur
ther down the lino that have brought out
tho energies of the republicans of the statu,
and today, with tho convention but three
days off, It would bo Impossible to state
with certainty who will bo on the ticket
savo as to the one ofllcc on which there Is
no contest.
ln vlow of the Interest In tho convention
the republicans arc moving early In tho
direction of Cedar Rapids. Tho Des Moines
candidates and their most Intimate friends
went yesterday to Cedar Rapids, and others
will go today. All of tho lending 'candidates
will bo on hnnd Monday morning nnd ready
to greet friends. Thero aro fourteen of them
In all. Only ono, Major Conger, who Is con
sidered a candidate, will bo absent. A
great many delegates from this part of tho
stato will go tomorrow to Cedar Rapids.
CniifHlntrH fur fSnvernur,
There aro seven pronounced candidates
for governor, but only four aro hacked by
largo delegations. Three of these candi
dates aro old soldiers, veterans of the civil
war; three others aro comparatively young
men; four are lawyers, two aro merchants,
ono an lusuranco man; throe aro or have
been engaged lu farming; ono was formerly
In tho newspaper business; another was a
school teacher; another has been a sur
veyor; ono was a banker, and every ono la
and always has been a republican.
A. B, Cummins of Des Molncs, tho lead
ing candldato. Is a lawyer, a comparatively
young man, has served lu tho legislature,
was a member of tho republican national
committee, was a conspicuous candldato for
senator and is a conservative lu politics,
John Herrlott of Stuart is n veteran of tho
war, n business man, has served In tho state
senate and was stato treasurer for six
years. He drew down upon himself tho
wrath of tho corporations by Insisting on
equality of taxation while a member of the
executlvo council.
W. F. Harriman Is a lawyer nnd farmer,
has served in tho senate and Is a member
of the Stato Agricultural society. J. II.
Trewln is a stato senator and n lawyer. Tho
other candidates aro: Major K. II. Conger,
Major Samuel Mnhon nnd Sidney A. Foster.
At present it would teem that each one will
havo strength In the convoutlon.
nitter Fight Slnde.
Not before for many years has such a bit
ter fight been Indulged In ln Iowa as thla
year. Thero are two factions ln the party.
Ono faction, composed of tho younger men
largely, who opposed tho re-election of
Senator Gear a few years ago and many of
whom have mado much of tho demaud for
reform ln taxation laws of the state or havo
havo been conspicuous In opposing corpora
tion Influence in tho stnto, espoused tbo
cause of A. B. Cummins or took up with tho
candidacy of John Herrlott. The other fac
tion, ln which aro to be found nearly all of
tho old wheclhorses of tho party who object
to power slipping out of their bands nnd In
which aro to bo found the most conspicuous
of the political railroad lobbyists and attor
neys, has steadily opposed both Cummins
and Herrlott. This faction first scattered
its strength nmong several candidates, in
cluding Foster, Perkins nnd Hnrrlman,
finally bringing out Conger and Trowln and
later Mahon.
Betwcsn tho factions thero has been much
bitterness. Tho nowspapors of the stato
havo been largely with tho nntl-Cummlns
faction, at least this Is truo of tho dally
papers, but many of tho moro Influential
weokltcs nnd some of tho moro nggrcsslvo
dallies havo helped Cummins or Herrlott.
Tho whole state has been fought over
thoroughly. When Mr. Perkins withdrew
tho northwest corner of Iowa wns loft an
open field. Resort was had to anonymous
circulars attacking Cummins ln most vir
ulent manner with tho most outrageous
falsehoods. In several conventions hlgh
hnnded methods woro employed ln tho
Interest of ono candldato or another. Cau
cuses wero called on short notlco or at
unseemly times that snap Judgment might
bo taken. Tho newopapcrs havo been filled
with fakes nnd falsehoods and Innuendoes
and bitter Invectives, Old friends hnvo
becomo estranged nnd enemies hnvo hcon
further ombittered by tho mnnner of tho
canvass anil tho methods which bavo been
U3cd to accomplish tho ends sought.
IteNiilt of Convention.
Tho county conventions havo all been
held, quite a number being loft to the Inst
week. The claims of tho friends of tho
respective candidates vary greatly. Mr.
Cummins' managers clnlm about 780 votes
for him on tho first ballot. Ho says ho
will bo nominated on the first ballot. Thoy
claim, also, something over 200 votes which
aro pledged for him for second choice.
Tho nntl-Cummlns faction does not con
cede him moro than CiO votes on the first
ballot and say he cannot come within 100
of nomination nt any tlmo. There are
thirty-six counties for Cummins over which
thero Is no controversy. Thoso which nro
divided or over which thero Is some ques
tion nro Clinton, Kmmet, Floyd, Orundy,
Humboldt, Keokuk, Mahnskn, Mnrlon, Tnmn,
Worth, Black Hawk, Webster nnd Wapello.
Mr. Cummins strongth Is In the Seventh
district, which ho has, except two counties,
which went for Conger; In tho Kleventh,
which he has all but Monona; In tho Tenth,
where ho lost four counties, nnd In the
Second, whero he has nil but two. The
Ninth district Is for Herrlott, except Shelby,
which went for Cummins, It Is the most
nenrly solid district of nil. Harriman has
tho Third district, except one county, but
there are dolegatcs In nearly every county
personally favorablo to Cummins. Tro
win's district Is most broken up. Six of
tho counties nro for Trewln. two for Cum
mins and ono for Harriman. Mahon's name
will be presented by Wapello county with
out nny expectation that he will bo nom
inated, but becnuso the delegates do not
wish to commit themselves on first bal
lot. Foster, who has no delegates known
to be for him. will open headquarters and
expects some votes.
Prnlinlillltle.
Mr. Cummins 1b clearly In thn lead, but
he Is not nominated, His closest friends
do not share with him tho expectation
that he will be nominated on tho first bal
lot. Thoy bellovo ho will bo successful,
but realize that the fight Is still nhcad.
Ho must draw from other candidates to
win. Tholr real basis of hnpo Is that any
effort of tho others to concentrate on u
cacdidklQ will release g nufflgleiU cumber,

In the estimate of good Judges, John
Herrlott conies next on tho list, nnd If
Cummins Is not nominated they believe It
will be Herrlott. Horrlott hns his district
back of him in good shape. He really
holds tho bnlnncc of power. If Cummins
ennnot bo nominated it Is certnln thnt a
great mnjorlty of the Cummins delegntcs
would prefer to hnvo Herrlott at tbo head
of the ticket. Mr. Herrlott's canvuss has
been carefully nnd nbly managed. Ho
will get consldornblo strength In tho First
and Sixth districts nnd elsewhere.
An effort will bo mado to eoncentrnto
tho nntl-Cummlns forces on Senator Ilnr

to this faction of the party. In that event
tbe namo of Senator Trewln will bo
