Tel egrams were sent from De Molnet today by a large number of temperance men to Senator Dolliver at Washington, urging upon him that he give hearty support to the Hepburn "original package" bill which passed the house a few days ago. It Is understood here that Senator Pointer has agreed to push it In the senate. The bill was drafted here in Dos Moines by a com mittee of the state temperance societies, and placed in the hands of Colonel Hep burn. It provides that where Intoxicating or other liquos are shipped from one state or territory In which they may be found the same as If they had been produced or mede there, shall not escape the or- dinary laws of police regulation because of having been imported and sold In "original packages." The bill Is for the assistance nf those sections nf the country where temnernnee sentiment I. strong and reeu- lations to -enforce which are rendered dif ficult by the original package subterfuge. The 'telegrams sent from here today were by J. C. Callahan, Jefferson S. Polk, J. G. Olmsted, A. K. Campbell and other well known business men of the city. They rep resent that the law would be of material benefit In the enforcement of the mulct tax laws of Iowa In a large part of the state, and would be useful In other states.

The Iowa Falls railroad, constructed from Iowa Falls to Des Moines, but not yet in operation the entire distance, will have to fight for the collection of $75,000 in taxes voted In its aid along the route. The tax aid was voted on condition that It would have Its trains running into Des Moines by the last day of 1902. The com pany did, in fact, have its tracks laid Into the city on that day, and ran a train over the tracks Into the city, and announced a time card and schedule of trains. A com mittee from the town ot Nevada visited Des Moines December 31 for the purpose of ascertaining the condition of the road at this end. Since then the city council of Nevada, where the heaviest part of the tax Is to be paid, asked the city solicitor for an opinion as to whether or not the company has compiled with the terms on which the tax was voted. The town so licitor has prepared' an opinion, holding that the company Is not entitled to the tax. If this Is sustained by the council no tax will be levied, and the company will have to go Into court to compel collec tion of the special tax, not only In Nevada, but all along tho line. The total of tax aid was said to be nearly $75,000. The company will not be able to do much real business over the new route until In the spring after the 'ballasting has been com pleted. '" Iowa and Sew Military Law. Adjutant General Byers returned this morning from Washington, where he has been looking after the interests of the Iowa National Ouard In legislation. He is well satisfied that the Iowa claims for money expended in equipping the volun teers for the war against Spain will all be met this winter, a part of the claims through the auditing department and a part by direct appropriation. He Is Im mensely pleased with, the passage of the Dick bill for making the national guards of tho various states a part of the regular establishment and creating of the guard a definite reserve for war purposes In con nection with the army. Before leaving Wa&hlngton he called on the chief of the ordnance department and ascertained that the bureau is ready to do its part In sup plying the guardsmen with guns and equip ment. The chief of the bureau stated that he has already shipped 30,000 stand of nrms to the Rock Island arsenal and from these will be supplied the regiments of the guards in this part of the country. Gen eral Byers believe the effect of the new Idea in consolidating the regulars and the guards will be to greatly benefit the guards. Nothing was done la the matter of deciding what number of the guardsmen will go to Fort Riley to go Into camp with the regu lars next summer. Examine Lieutenant Colonel.
