TWO LAY CLAIM TO REWARD!
-
Governor Heart Argument, but Withholds
' Decision in Matter.
MONONA DITCH LITIGATION SETTLED 1
Supreme Coart Holds Acts of County
Board In Matter to Hare Been
Perfectly Regular and
Legal.
(From a Staff Correspondent.)
DES MOINES, May 17. (Special.) Gov
ernor Cummins today heard the parties
who have been disputing over the claim for
a reward of 1300 offered by the state for the
arrest of the murderer ot Dr. Fallor In
Newton last fall. One Chester Tyler, who
has since been sentenced to be banged for
the murder, was arrested in Des Moines
after he had wandered about over the state
for a few weeks subsequent to the murder.
The convincing evidence against him was
that be bad brought the murdered man's
watch to the city and bad given it to a
woman who had fascinated him. This was
also the real reason why he was discov
ered in Dea Moines, for she could not keep
a secret. Tyler was arrested by Detective
Hardin and was afterwards Identified and
convicted, but Detective Connelly claimed
to have bad first information as to bts
whereabouts. Both men claimed the re
ward. The governor indicated that be
would decide in favor of Hardin.
Governor Cummins today issued a requi
sition on request of the governor of Okla
homa for taking back to the territory one
John Thomas, alias "Alabama," a colored
man accused of the murder of James Dean,
March 30 laet. The case Is a peculiar one.
Dean was a resident of Washington county,
Iowa, but was working in Caddo county,
Oklahoma, on railroad work when he waa
attacked and killed. Dean has two broth
ers and many friends living In Washington
county. A few days ago the sheriff of
Washington county arrested at Brighton,
in his county, a colored man, who had been
put off a freight train. He suited the de
scription ot the man who was known to
have killed Dean In Oklahoma and admit
ted that be was where Dean was killed
when the murder was committed. He has
since been Identified.
Bnpreme Coart Decision.
The Iowa supreme court today terminated
extended litigation over the building of a
drainage ditch in Monona county. Three
cases were Involved, all brought by Addi
son Oliver to have declared invalid the act
of the county in having the ditch con
structed. The case bad really been adjudi
cated four times before and the litigation
"tended over twelve years, but In the de-
clsion today the court finally disposes of all
questions and declares the acta of the
county legal and regular.
In the case of Hull against Hull, from
Mahaska county, the court declined to offer
any relief in a most remarkable case. The
plaintiff and defendant, both old persons,
were married, lived together a month and
then the wife commenced divorce proceed
ings, and under a contract which had been
entered Into between them claimed all of
the husband's property and brought suit
against those who owed him. She frankly
admitted that she had married him for his
money and tbat the contract to turn every
thing over to her without reserve waa the
chief consideration for the marriage.
The following are the court decisions
rendered today:
C. W. Bwan against I. A. Harvey, ap
pellant, Woodburj county. Judge Oliver,

"ATONE WALL'S" KATALISM.
Jackson Prayed to the God of Dattlea
While Shell Fell.
Stonewall Jackson was as absolute a
fatalist as Napoleon, with this difference
that Jackson was a man with a religious
creed, while Napoleon was not. Jackson
waa a Presbyterian and an absolute be
liever in the tenets of that church, says a
writer In Llpplncott's Magaslne. As on
evidence of his fatalism I once saw hint
standing in a mountain road when the
wheel of a caisson came ofT and was roll
ing directly on him. An officer of hla staff
called to him to move, but he stood still.
The wheel struck a stone, bounded over
the side of tho mountain, and Stonewall
Jackson turned to the officer and said:
"You see, there was no danger. I knew It."
It was Stonewall jncason s naon to pray
on the battlefield. His method waa to re
move his rap. raise his right hand and then
pray to the God of battlee. I saw him do
this on several occasions, notably on the
field of Port Republic, his battle with
Shields, while sitting on his horse In a
road down which a splendidly served north
ern batterv was pouring shot and shell.
General Lawton Informed me that some
times he would give him an Important
order so quickly that It would almost take
his breath away. Notably at Cedar moun
tain. Jackson rode up to him and said.
"General Lawton, advance and drive the
enemy from your front." Lawton replied,
"General, there la a very deep ravine In
the enemy's front." Jackson replied. "I
know It. Advance!" He did not waste
words. Jsckson's practice was to speak
of the northern troops as Mexlcsns. Hs
very rarely called them anything else. Dr.
Hunter McGulre. his medical director, Is
mv authority for this statement.
Stonewall jackeon died In a houae that la
still standing at Guinea station. In Vir
ginia, on the line of the Richmond. Frede.
rlcksburg & Potomac railroad. His left
arm waa amputated at the shoulder, being
taken out of the socket. When he closed
hta eyes In death his little daughter, then
r. nr ihru veara old. lay on hla breast.
with his right srm over her. His dying
words were. "Pass the Infantry rapidly to
the front," "Tell A. P. Hill to prepare for
action, " ''We will pass over the river snd
rest under the shade of the trees on the
opposite side." He was delirious, and. like
Napoleon's, his mind, as It feebly fulfilled
Its last offices, was with his military past.

HATS O OR OFF I! ELEVATORS.
Custom as Hack Honored la Breach as
la Observance.
"Jimmy!" said the mother, sharply, as
the well-filled elevator car in an uptown
apartment houae started skyward, relates
the New York Tribune.
Tho towneaded youth ot seven or eight
looked up in surprise. He waa wondering
what he had been doing to bring forth bis
mother's disapproval.
"Huh!" he grunted, but speedily changed
it on second thought to "What, mother?"
"Take off your hat," said the matron;
"don't you know that there are women in
tbe elevator? I have told you about that
many times."
Ths man who lived on the fourteenth
floor turned around to look at the woman,
but he did not take off hla hat
"But I didn't have to tak off my bat In
tbe hall, and there waa women there," pro
tested the boy. "I don't see no difference
between the hall and the elevator."
"You take off your bat!" she cried, and
the hat came off.
"Tbat kid has more sense than a great
many men I know," said tbs man from
floor fourteen to his neighbor of the floor
above. "This elevator bat-llftlng habit Is
the worst kind ot a farce."
"I think it la a nice little courtesy to
show to women," said the other man. "es
pecially when you are out of tbs business
district."
"Take off your bat aa much aa you
please," said the man who started the dis
cussion. "I have nothing against that, but,
for heaven's sake, be consistent about It.
You walk through a long ball with a
woman and keep your bat on. The minute
you get into an elevator cage it comes off.
You get out with her on some upper floor
and on goea tbe hat. Now, If you should
take off your hat in an elevator, you should
not wear it when walking in the halls.
As for me, I keep mine oo just aa much
as possible. I find some other way of
showing women tbat I appreciate their
presencs, some way that doesn't involve
a cold in the bead."
The men who run elevators in botels
and apartment houses uptown say that tbe
practice of bst lifting is increasing. They
have noticed, though, that in most cases
the bat only remains off ths hesd wben tbe
men are actually in the car. In the busi
ness district very few men psy any atten
tion to tbe elevator hat-lifting ceremony.
Only old men who do It from force of
habit and beardless youths who are trying
to make aa Impression take oft their b'.is
when women enter the csr.
