(From a Staff. Correspondent.)
DES MOINES, March 11 (Special.) The
committee on the Bruce-Emmert contest
from tbe Cass-Shelby senatorial district
today filed a revised and complete report
on that case. Including with the report a
transcript of the evidence taken and tbe
dissenting rplnon of a minority ot the mem
bers of tbe committee as to tbe law In tbe
esse.
Wbed the report was first filed the com
mittee made no specific statement of tbe
case or any explanation of tbe reason for
finding that Bruce, the contestant, waa en
titled to bis seat In place of Emmert. Tbe
minority opinion raised a question as to
the case and the report was sent back to
the committee for a revision.
This revision shows that there waa no
dlssgreement as to tbe main facta in the
case and that Bruce received fifteen more
votes than Emmert. The contention is
wholly as to whether tbe ballots in Pleas
ant township, Cass county, ought to have
been recounted. Tbe democrats claimed
that there was such Irregularity In tbe
procedure before tbe election board as to
render the ballots no evidence.
Tbe committee's report shows that at the
time tbe ballots were counted election night
three persons, a republican and two demo
crats, were In the room at the time to
watch the count and that afterward two
or three other persons were permitted In tbe
room and some of them were permitted to
touch tbe ballots during the count. There
waa no evidence to Indicate that there bad
been any tampering with the ballots and
only inferential evidence that the ballots
might bave been tampered with at that
time. The committee further finds that
the law does not provide that where there
have been Irregularities by the election
board the vote must necessarily be not
considered or counted.
On this report it is probable that tbe work
of seating Bruce will take but a short time.
Senator Emmert Is absent now In Ohio at
the bedside of a sick sister and tbe case
will not come up until bis return.
Railroad Boad Bill.
A bill by Senator Molsberry to practically
remove the limit of Indebtedness of rail
road corporations In Iowa consumed a great
deal ot tbe time of tbe senste today. Tbe
present law limits Indebtedness to $1S,
000 a mile of the railroad property of
Iowa corporations or to two-tbtrds of tbs
capital stock. To add to tbe bonded Indebt
edness of tbe companies more stock must
be Issued.
As a matter of fact Iowa railroad cor
poratlona, evade the law and tbe property
Is bonded in excess ot the limit and ths su
preme court has sustained such Indebt
edness as legal, ', .
The primary purpose ot the pending bill
Is to permit tbe Burlington railroad to
Increase its Indebtedness tor tbe borrowing
of money to acquire, other properties.
An amendment' was' offered by Senator
Healey to provide that none of the money
borrowed shall be 'used to purchase the
stock of other corporations or to acquire
and retire stock from circulation. This
amendment was debated at length, being
favored by Healey and opposed by Mols
berry and Hubbard, but pending discus
sion the senate adjourned and the bill re
mains the special order for tomorrow.
Mast Post Time Cards.
Tbe eenate passed a bill to require ra't-
roads to post tlmecards at all depots, and
a bill to authorise an edition of 7,500 of the
Code of Iowa. The supreme court reorgan
isation bill was made a special order for
next Tuesday.
Tbe bouse passed a bill in regard to cer
tifying and collecting road taxes and a bill
to rectify an error in regard to sheriff's
fees for bosrdlng prisoners. Tbe bill to
permit htghwsys to be established through
orchards, gardens, etc., waa defeated.
Jaaket to Iowa State College.
The legislature went to Ames by special
train this afternoon to pay the visit to
the Iowa State college. Governor Cum
mins accompanied the legislature. A good
program was given and ths legislature
reported a pleassnt trip.
Tne coirege is asking for an appro
priation to rebuild the burned main build'
lng or for a special tax levy to provide a
building fund for the same purpose. These
bills will come up very soon.
Removal of Penitentiary.
A committee of bouse members Is making
a thorourb Investigation of a proposition
which has come before tbe appropriations
committee looking to tbe removal of the
penitentiary of the state from Fort Madison
and abandonment ot the institution at Fort
Madison.
Tbs penitentiary was located there In ter
rltorial times and the buildings are now so
out ot date and so dilapidated that It la tbe
opinion ot members of the Board of Con
trol that they ought to all be torn down
within a few years. At the earns time tbs
legislature Is planning for a state reforma
tory and It Is recognised that the buildings
st Anamosa are not exactly aulted to this
purpose. So It Is proposed to abandon tne
penitentiary at Fort Madison, making Ana
moaa tbe only state prison and build a re
formatory at some point in tbe central or
western part ot tbe stats.
Tbe committee has secured from tbe
Board ot Control definite statistics on this

Dyspepsia Gciipq
Some people wonder why pepsin preparations don't
help their dyspepsia. They probably suffer because
they can't aigest foods that pepsin does not affect.
The reason is, pepsin digests only nitrogenous foods,
while different substances are required to digest the
variety of other foods necessary for proper nourishment.
Kodol Dyspepsia Cure contains all the digestants, and
is capable of completely digesting every kind of food.
That is why it digests what yon eat and allows yon to
eat all the variety you want; and that is why it cures
indigestion, even after everything else has failed. As
it is the only preparation of the kind known, the de
mand for it has become enormous. Its use affords in
stant relief from all forms of stomach trouble.
It can't help but do you good

The convention of coal miners and opera

mittees locked horns this morning, and
differed radically as to the bill before the
legislature, for employment of special per
sons to do the shot firing In mines, and
tbe expense of Inspection of blasts. Tbere
are other disagreements.
It is probable the scale committee will
reach no conclusion, but force the con

wsge-ecale direct.
