Opposed to Proposed Franchise.
Aldermen Casper, Tlnlay, Huber and
Olson held an Informal session yesterday
afternoon at the city council chamber to
dlncuss the proponed ordinance granting
the Interurban Terminal dt Belt Line com
pany a franchise to occupy such streets In
the city as it obsignated for an electric
railway. Malcolm Green, representative of
the eastern Arm which expects to float the
bonds of the Tabor line, was present psrt
of the time and reiterated what he had
stated to the committee of the whole Tues
day afternoon.
While the tr.e?t!ng was purely informal,
the aldermen present expressed themselves
as being opposed to the ordinance in its
present form, on the grounds that it was
entirely too sweeping and of such a charno
ter as to practically prohibit the entry of
any other suburban line into ' the city,
unless on such terms as the belt line com
pany seemed fit to dictate. One of the
aldermen present at the close of t,he meet.
Ing said: "The city might Just as well
hand over the entire city to this company
for all time to come as pass such an ordi
nance, but as the people would have to
pass on it at a special election there was
not much fear that It would ever be
adopted."

(FYom a Staff Correspondent.)
DES MOINES, Dec. . Special.) The in
spection reports on the work of the Iowa
National Guard for the last year were filed
today with the adjutant general. General
Prime reports that during the year com
panies were mustered out at Independence,
Washington, Oelweln, Marahalltown, Bed
ford, Perry, Hull and the band at Algona;
and companies were mustered In at Cresco,
New Hampton, Independence, Washington,
Des Moines, Osceola, Ida Grovs, Sheldon
and a band at Fort Dodge. It was found
that In nearly every case where companies
fell below the standard it was due to lack
of armory facilities, something for which
there was some excuse when, the support
was small, but with present support from
the state cannot be excusable. The discip
line of the guard is good, but might be bet
ter. The inspector general says this is due
to lack of instruction. Ho would hold the
colonels of the regiments responsible for
the work of the companies snd provide that
they should visit the companies. The en
campments should be used for Instruction
In field work and company officers are
criticised for doing work - at camps that
should be done at home. Company cooks
should be enlisted and provision should be
made for medical inspection of food offered
for sale. The signal corps is commended
for Its work in having "rendered efficient
aervloe snd performed all duty required of
it at the camps In a creditable and sol
dfly manner." The work of the medical
corps Is commended. General Prime would
have the state acquire permanent camp
srotinds. There has been Increased interest
in this since the passage of the Dick bill in
congress.
Permanent Fair Building.
The entire reconstruction of the buildings
owned by the state of Iowa for the Iowa
state fairs Is a policy put forth boldly by
Secretary J. C. Simpson of the State De
partment of Agriculture, before the state
agricultural convention, at the session held
this morning. Iowa has one of the finest
fair grounds In the west, a . tract of 270
acres, about half level land and running
back Into the hills, and the buildings
erected thereon about twenty years ago
were all of wood and cheap construction,
and they have become so much worn that
the cost of repairs Is very important. Secre
tary Simpson reported that while the
grounds were never in better condition,
since two new stock pavilions have been
ructed and brick and other walks have
been constructed, this cannot' be truth
fully said of the buildings. "The time is
soon coming," said Mr. Simpson, "if, in
deed, it Is not already here, when many of
the buildings will have to, be replaced If a
fair is to be held. The only way In which
fireproof buildings can be erected is by ap
propriations by the legislature."
At the last session of the legislature the
board got an appropriation ot $37,000 for the
erection of a live, stock pavilion. During
tne last two years there had been expended
for permanent Improvement and repairs out
of gate receipts a total of $44,312.61. A
serious problem now confronts the board as
to how to proceed to make other permanent
Improvements. Of the fifty-one stock barns
at least fifty are in need of .new roofs, and
thousands of dollars will be needed for
other repairs, new fences, drains, walks,
gates, entrances, painting, etc. Secretary
Simpson recommended that an appropria
tion should be asked 'of the next general
assembly for a combined agricultural, hortl
of Husbandry, Is being held In Des Moines
and Is rather poorly attended. There are
about 1,000 members of the granges In
Iowa in about a dosen counties, chiefly In
southwestern Iowa, . They have main
tained the grange organisation from the
times of thirty years ago, when It was a
power In the state. Steps were taken to
day to give encouragement to those who
are trying to organise In opposition to the
big packing houses and the support of the
grange was pledged.
Big Telephone Company.
' George N. Bandy "of this city, formerly
of Perry, managsr of the Hawkeye Tele
phone company and the last year manag
ing the Mutual Telephone company of this
city, is one of the chief organisers of the
Hanamo Telegraph and Telephone com
pany, organised in Delaware, with a capi
tal of $1,000,000. The company plana to
absorb a large number of the mutual and

LUNATIC STABS IOWA PRIEST
Father Hoseh of Cascade
He Least from the
Altar.
Cat ae
CASCADE, la., Deo, An insane man
made a sensational attempt on the life of
Rev. Father Roach of St. Martin's Catholic
church here Sunday at the close of the
afternoon services. Just as he was about
to pronounce the benediction the man ap
proached the priest as though he had an
urgent messago to deliver. Father Roach
leaned over to hear what the man had to
say,, when the latter made a vicious stab
at Mm with a knife,
The blade struck Father Roach In the
nock, but before the crasy, man could re
peat his blow Roach sprang back and
knocked the weapon to the floor.
There wae tremendous confusion In the
church at once, and from a devout congre
gation the worshiping men and women
were transformed into a vengeful mob.
The c sy man made his escape and was
not captured until later.
A doctor attended the priest and It wnr
found the wound, though a long one, was
only a quarter ot an Inch deep. Several
stitches were put In It and Father Roach
removed to his own residence and made as
comfortable as possible.
He is in no danger and will soon be well
again. He was about 60 years old and
strongly built. In the xcltement the
assassin, Montgene, got away to his home,
whore he was arrested later by the town
marshal and taken to the calaboose. He
is the son ot a baker and was for a time
in .the insane asylum at Dubuqus, suffering
from a sunstroke. He was-discharged sub
sequently and has bean around home for
months, apparently all ; right. A sudden
aberration seised him. at vespers service
Bunday and the murderous assault on the
clergyman followed. A lynching spirit was
for a time abroad, but popular excitement
cooled down and the , criminal vaa re
moved to Dubuque and. lodged In Jail for
safekeeping. ' ."
THE CHILDREN ENJOY
Life out of doors and out of the parties which they play and the enjoy
ment which they receive and the efforts which they make, cornea the
greater part of that healthful development which is so essential to their
happiness when grown. When a laxative is needed the remedy which la
given to them to cleanse and sweeten and strengthen the Interna: organ
on which It acts, should be such as physicians would sanction, because it
component parts are known to be wholesome and the remedy Itself free from
every objectionable quality. The one remedy which physicians and parents,
well-informed, approve and recommend and which the little ones enjoy,
because of its pleasant flavor, Us gentle action and ita beneficial effects, is
Syrup of Figs and for the same reason It is the only laxative which should
be used by fathers and mothers.
Syrup of Figs is the only remedy which acta gently, pleasantly and
naturally without griping, Irritating, or nauseating and which cleansea the
system effectually, without producing that constipated habit which results
from the use of the old-time, cathartics and modern Imitations, and against
which the children should be so carefully guarded. If you would have them
grow to manhood and womanhood, strong, healthy and happy, do not give
them medicines, when medicines are not needed, and when nature' needs
assistance in the way of a laxative, give them only the simple, pleasant and
gentle Syrup of Figa.
Its quality Is due not only to the excellence of the combination of the
laxative principles of planta with pleasant aromatic syrups and juices, but
also to our original method of manufacture snd as you value the health ot
the little onee, do not acoept any of the substitutes which unscrupulous deal
era sometimes offer to Increase their profits. The genuine article may be
