. Two burglaries and one attempted bur

lone burglar who ha been giving the po
lice so much worry the last. few. days. The
residences entered Tuesday night by this
unwelcome visitor were those ot Fred
Johnson, E45 Fifth avenue; Owen P. Wick-
ham, tit Seventh avenue, and Mr.. Dyar,
808 Sixth avenue. At the first two place,
the lone robber succeeded In securing val
uable booty, but at the Dyar home he wa.
frightened away before he could lay hi.
band on anything.
Mr. and Mr. Johnson went for a drive
Tuesday evening, and : on returning; Mr.
Johnson, after taking ' hi. horse to the
barn, went to the Elk.' club house, leaving
Mrs. Johnson to enter the house alone.
Mr. Johnson had several- parcel, in her
arm and in consequence took some time
to open the hall door. Entering- the ball
.he beard a noise in the back part of the
house, but for the moment supposed it wa.
mad. by their two dog. locked up In the
summer kitchen. Oa lighting the ga. In
the dining room, however, .he at once no
ticed the window wide open and one ot
the curtain, badly torn and hanging out
side. Summoning a neighbor Mrs. .John
son proceeded to investigate, and discov
ered that all the silverware had been taken
from the dining room table and sideboard.
The thief wa evidently surprised -by Mrs.
Johnson and overlooked a quantity of sil
verware and a pocketbook containing a
considerable sum of money in the top
drawer, of the sideboard. In a .liver
pickle Jar which the thief secured Mr.
Johnson had placed ' several article, of
Jewelry.

At the Wickham residence the lone
burglar secured a gold watch and chain
and pocketbook belonging to Oeorgo
Wickham, who had only returned that day
from Salt Lake, where he attended tho
Elks' meeting. Tho pocketbook, rifled ot
its content., wa. .found yesterday after
nopn In a neighboring yard. The thief en
tered by a window on the first floor and
went ntrs to Hmtria Wickham'. room.
where be wa. discovered 'by Mrs. Wick
ham, who slept on the first floor, and 'had
been awakened by the man ascending the
stair. She clo.ed the door on the thief
and awakened a young man rooming in
the bouae. The burglar, however, suc
ceeded In dashing down the stairway and
out Into the stneet before the young man,
who had armed himself with a revolver,
could get a shot at him. The thief bad,
after entering the house, taken the pre
caution to open the front door to provide
an avenue of escape. -
At. the Dyar residence be .pursued the
same tactics, but in opening the hall door
aroused Mr. Dyar, who called to her son,
who slept up stair. The eon, selling a
revolver, lost no time In making after the
thief, and wa. Just in time to take a shot
at him a he Jumped the fence "Into a
neighboring yard. Not being clothed in
anything but his nightshirt Mr. Dyar did
not continue the pursuit.

Merglag of Offices Considered.
Owing to the streets and alleys fund being
practically exhausted many of th aldermen
are In favor ot merging the office, of atreet
supervisor, and sidewalk Inspector for the
remainder of the' fiscal year. At the city
hall yesterday It was given out that this
would In all probability be done, a. vr
$400 could be saved by consolidating the two
offices. When th. streets and alls:', fuud
become, entirely exhausted t 1. the opinion
that in a case of emergency the contingent
fund can be drawn upon to repair utreets
which may be damaged by rain or other
causes. Unless the contingent fund can be
resorted to the city will not be In a poiltlin
to do any work on the atreet during I he

to stand by th Kansas City declaration.
It wa. decided before the convention was

be mentioned that a motion to appoint a
committee on resolutions was dispensed
with upon an amendment to the motion
made by Judge VanWagenen of Sioux City.

not present, waa nominated after an In
effectual attempt had been made to nomi
nate aomeone from among the delegate,
present. J. H. Quick of Sioux City, W. C.
Whltelng of Whiting, J. M. Parsons of Rock
Rapid, and J. T. Montgomery of Ida county
were urged to accept the nomination, ' but
all the.e men were busy. They bad other
bu.lnee. when an adjournment without
nomination .tared the convention In the
face. After mysterious caucus.lng it wa.
finally decided to nominate Mr. Zlnka, who
wa. absent and could not refuse. It 1 not
known whether or not be will accept.
The Judicial convention of the Fourth Ju

Interesting figure, showing that In the
United Stateii there la employed a. fixed I
capital in manufacture, a little more than I
$5,000,000,000, while In agriculture there i.
Invested more than $20,500,000,000. In Iowa
the proportion Is even more startling. In
1850. according to the reports of that time,
there waa farmed in Iowa a total of 124,633
... of und. Now of the 85.SO0.000 acres
In Iowa there la under cultivation a total of

number of farms Is 228,662, and the num

Iowa farm product have been Increasing
enormously In value In recent years. Ac-
enormousiy in vaiuo m rrctui ;,
cording to the report, of th. crop bureau th.
actual cash value pf Iowa farm product, in
1899 wa. reported to b. $356,411,628, which
was $20,000,000 in excess of the value ot the
product, in any other state of the union.
Of this vast amount the Iowa farmer fed
to their livestock at home $102,023,040. Thi I

In dairy cows we find tbat Iowa is cond

the number ot 2-year-old steer Iowa lead.
In th value of neat cattle In 1900 Iowa
standa well, being a close second to Texas,
but tbe value per head In Iowa wa $29.55,

Tbe livestock is not all on tbe farm,

court or cnancery an answer 10 in
amended bill of complaint of J. Asplnwall
Hodge, Bernard Smith and William H. Cur
tis to restrain the proposed conversion ot
$200,000,000 7 per cent preferred stock Into
$200,000,000.5 per cent second mortgage
bonds.
Tha answer denle. tbat the book, of the
corporation ahow Curtis, to be tho owner
of any stock of th concern
Smith, it ia averred, did not own any
stock ot record until June 2, 1902, after the
plan of conversion had been adopted, and
tbat the stock now recorded in Smith'
name wa voted In favor of the plan,
Hodge, It 1 admitted, own 100 .hare, of
stock, but It- la alleged that he wa. not
present at tbe stockholders' meeting when
the plan was submitted and that his stock
wa. not voted, either by himself or by
proxy.
It is dented that fifteen or more of the
directors of the steel corporation are mem
bers of tho syndicate through which the
preferred stock waa to be converted Into
bonds. It 1 announced that aoma of the
director are member of the ayndlcate, but
that thla fact wa communicated to every
stockholder In the circular of April 17. 1902.
Th answer say the director In the ayn
dlcate are a minority in the board of dl
rectors, but that they are lsexe (tockbold
era and favored tha conversion plan because
they believed It would be advantageoua to
them a stockholder. It 1 denied tbat any
stockholders had been offered special term
In connection with converting their pre-
feYred stock Into bonds, in order to secure
their affirmative votea for the plan.
It U denied that the $50,000,000 of addi
tional capital, which If wa. proposed to obtain
wa. oeded for purposes that were chargeable
to tha earnings ot the company. The an
swer then take up th line of the argument
made In the affidavit of George W. Perkins,
chairman of the finance . committee, filed
last week, . In which Mr. Perkins claimed
that thi additional $50,000,000 wa needed
to pay for Improvement and to give the
company a larger surplus, to permit It to
do a cash business and be protected against
a money stringency in the event ot a bus
iness depression-
The answer say tha earning of tbe cor
poration tor tbe year ending March SI, 1902,
were $111,603,064; for the month of April,
1902, $12,820,666; May, $13,120,390; June,
12420,362; July, , estimated, $11,900,000, or
at the rate ot $150,000,000 a year. An Inven
tory Is filed to show that the company's
property 1 worth $1,400,000,000, more than
the combined par value of the preferred and
common stock.
It is stated also that the company'a sur
plus 1. now $65,000,000. Tbe answer em
phasizes the point raised by Mr. Perkins to
th effect that th conversation plan would
reduce the fixed charges ot the company and
be advantageoua to all stockholders, both
preferred and common.
