Chancellor Lewis W. Ross, senior mem
ber of the Pottawattamie county bar and
one of the pioneer lawmakers of Iowa, died
suddenly at an early hour yesterday morn
ing at bis home on Willow avenue. Al
though of advanced age, Mr. Ross had
boon In hla usual good health Friday, when
he was at his office as usual, and his sud
den demise Is attributed to a stroke of
apoplexy.
Friday evening Mr.. Ross complained of
a pain In the region of his heart and re
tired somewhat earlier than usual. About
5:30 o'clock yesterday morning he awoke
and aroused his wife, saying he was suffer
ing from considerable pain. Mrs. Ross at
once assisted him to a more comfortable
position in the bed, but in a few minutes
he became unconscious nnd by the time
medical assistance could be summoned he
expired.
Chancellor Roas was born October 16.
1827, In Hanover township, Butler county,
Ohio, and had therefore Just passed his
seventy-fifth year. He was married In
Lebanon, O., In 1855 to Zoe M. Brown, and
she with their five children, Charles, Hes
ter, Edith, Anna and Dillon, survive him.
He came to Iowa in 1856 and moved to
Council Bluffs in 1861, where be since bad
made his home.
U served as state senator In tbe Tenth
and Eleventh general assemblies, and from
1864 to 1872 served aa trustee ot the Iowa
State university, and from 1874 to 1880
occupied the position of regent of the same
institution. In 1880 be was made resident
professor in the law department of the
university and In 1881 was made Its chan
cellor. ,
Founder of Law gehopl.
It was mainly through his efforts that the
law and medical departments of the State
university Were established. His connec
tion with the unlveratty lasted for seven
years, after which he devoted himself to
the nraetlcA of law In thl, rltv tila inn

tion with the State university, the author
of a number of legal works which were de

A Stove Fnmlne.
Owing to the outlook of the great anthra
cite coal strike there was a big rush for
soft coal and wood heating stoves, and a
famine In this line of stoves looked Immi
nent. Prices on hard coal would seemingly
be out of reach of those with moderate In
comes. However, the great strike was set
tled and there will be plenty of hard coal
for all. We have the best base burner In
the celebrated Radiant Home that was ever
put upon the American market. It Is as
near perfect for a heating etove as has
ever been made. We have sold hundreds
of them and every stove gives satisfaction.
If they did not do this, do you think we
would sell them and thus Injure our repu
tation? You can depend upon our word
that if you buy a Radiant Home you will
be more than pleased with your purchase
and you will have a stove that is worth
every dollar you put In it. Before buying
we want you to come and see us anyhow,
whether or not you buy of us, as we want
you to see that what we tell you Is not
"hot air" by any means. Petersen ft

NEW BUILDINGS AT IOWA COLLEGE
Montana Woman Finally Comea Into
Possession of Valuable Estate as
Result of Supreme Court
Decision.
(From a Staff Correspondent.)
DES MOINES, Nov. 22. (Special.) The
verdict In tho Levtch murder case was re
ceived at tbe opening ot court this morn
ing, the Jury having come to an agree
ment at 4 o'clock a. m. The Jury had
stood two (or conviction and ten tor ac
quittal through fifteen ballots and much
arguing among the jurors, and finally the
two yielded their views and made It unani
mous for acquittal. The announcement of
the verdict in court was received with
great Joy by Harris Levich and his Im
mediate friends and a great crowd of per
sons manifested general approval with the
verdict. A Juror In speaking of It after
ward declared his belief that the state had
undertaken to prove too much, that there
was too much evidence Introduced and It
was contradictory and unreasonable In
many respects. The witnesses for the state
did not agree In many matters and there
were several loopholes not filled. Levich
announced on his being released that ho
would proceed against a number of the
state's witnesses for perjury and make an
attempt to indict them, as he believed a
number ot the witnesses bad been guilty ot
that crime. The members of the city police
force and city officials are much disap
pointed In the verdict as Indirectly It leaves
the administration under suspicion. The
county attorney announced that he would
try the case against John Walker as soon
as It could be reached. It is believed, how
ever, that the state will now find it very
hard to make any case against Walker In
asmuch as he was Jointly indicted with
Levich and Levich was supposed to have
employed him. The state had previously
contended that the case against Levich was
tar stronger than that against Walker.
Bold Holdup In Valley Junction.

house. They found the door to the office
safe unlocked, secured $123.50 and quietly
departed. The men had handkerchiefs over
their faces with holes cut through, but the
cook gave a good description of them
otherwise. They were evidently familiar
with the situation, for the night watchman

Governor Cummins has returned from
Ames and Cedar Falls, where he attended
the meetings of trustees of the Iowa State
college and the State Normal school. Both

large double gymnasium for the men and
women, work on which will be commenced
In the spring. Architects were directed to
proceed also in the preparation of plans
for a new central college building at Ames

structed on the site of the former central
building. This will be the first building
built, though a number ot auxiliary .build
ings will be constructed at the same time.

Claims Valuable Katale.
The supreme court at the last term over
ruled a motion for a new trial In the case
of Brltt against Hall, from Hamilton
county, and issued an order ending all liti
gation. As a result Mr. and Mrs. J. T.
Brltt of Helena, Mont., have come to Iowa
and claimed an estate valued at about
$25,000 to $30,000, left by the late Reuben
Bennett of Webster city. Bennett had been
unmarried and when be died the estate
was about to be divided among collateral
belrs, among them some of the most promi
nent residents of Hamilton county. Then
Mrs. Brltt claimed that she was a daughter
of Bennett and proved It. As she had
never been heard of In Iowa, where Ben
nett had lived for thirty years, her claim
created a great sensation at tbe time. The
court declared her sole heir and she gets
the entire estate.
