(From a Staff Correspondent.)
DES MOINES, July 2. (Special.) The
contract with the Burlington railroad In
regard to the crossing of state land at the
State Feeble-Minded Instltue near Glen
wood will be closed up early next week.
The executive council will exact no cash
indemnity from the company tor the right-of-way,
taking the view that it 1. of Just
as much Importance to the state that the
city ot Glenwood should have a railroad a.
It 1. to maintain the ground, of the Insti
tution. The executive council ba. drawn
up a Contract .which the Burlington com
pany Is asked to sign. In which the com
pany agree, to maintain the right-of-way
In pre.entable appearance, to not leave un
sightly pile, ot dirt on the right-of-way,
to fence It with a neat fence, build bridge,
and subways, to construct a conduit ot
sufficient size to allow the Board of Con
trol to place the water and .ewer pipes
therein and to construct a siding on the
institution ground, for a coal dump. The
contract was placed in the hands of Judge
Robinson of the Board ot Control, who haa
gone to Glenwood to consult with Dr. Pow
ell In regard to the same and see that all
the points are covered. Attorney Eaton of
Burlington and Mr Fowler of Fairfield,
right-of-way agent for' the Burlington, have
been In the city several time, the past
week and have consented to this form of
contract for the company In return for the
right-of-way across state land which waa
authorized by the ' legislature.
A Four-Mill Tax Levy la Sla-fet.
It 1. probable that there will be it 4-mlll
levy for state purposes by the executive
council when . the work of assessing and
equalizing is all done. Good estimates are
to the effect that he total of taxable prop
erty in the state will be auch that a 4-mtll
levy will raise the $2,300,000 which the leg
islature ba. required shall be raised by
taxation. Tbl. is made up about, a. fol

If there should be a greater Increase In
the railroad assessment than indicated,
the tax levy would be correspondingly re
duced. Controversy Ended by Death.
A controversy which ha. been going on
for some time as to who should be re
sponsible to the state for the auppo'rt of
an insane patient at Clarlnda hospital ba.
been disposed of by the death of the pa
tient, Guy R. Inman. He was sent to
the state hospital from Woodbury county,
but the authorities of that county claimed
to have discovered that be properly be
longed In Monona county. Another sim
ilar case, Involving Woodbury and O'Brien
counties, has been pending Id the court,
for a long -time, and on the book, of the
state It 1. shown that the bill, for hi.
support are not paid at all and have not
been tor several years. ......
Woald Save Mrs. Knhn.
Another effort U to be made by ber at
torney to save Mrs. -Sarah Kuhn of
Keokuk county from life Imprisonment in
the penitentiary and they have asked for
a rehearing. It was In ber 'case that the
supreme court almost created a sensation
by reason of two opinions diametrically
opposed, not merely on question, of law,
but of fact. When the court held that
the conviction of Mr. Kuhn, for alleged
killing of ber husband, was borne out by
the evidence and Justice Waterman, since
resigned, wrote an Interesting opinion to
that effect. Justice Weaver, newly on the
bench, wrote a dissenting opinion, which
fairly 'swept away the foundation, of the
majority opinion, according to many law
yer. Justice Weaver made It plain that
In hi estimation - the testimony In tbs
case, which Was all circumstantial, fall
far short of being sufficient on which to
base a conviction.
Bold 'Work of Burglar.
During the severe rainstorm between 10
and 11 o'clock last jiight burglar, entered
the Harter-Lowe Barber Supply bouae, 504
Sixth avenue, and carried away good, to
the amount of $160. Every clipper In the
