MONEY OF THE DEAD MAN IS MISSING

HI Person Wnen Body
Taken front River.
Trnest Fodlsch, the eccentric old cigar
maker, whose body wai found In the Mis
souri river November IS. may have met
with foul play and not committed suicide
as was generally supposed at the time.
At leant this Is the theory now advanced
by Mrs. Fodlsch, the third wife of the
dead man, who has stated her Intention
f bavin- the circumstances surrounding
the death of her husband Investigated by
the authorities.
The ' fact that Fodlsch was known to
have In his possession, shortly before his
disappearance S&CO which he had received
S the proceeds of the sale of a farm and
that no trace of the money has been had
since, leads Mrs. Fodlsch to entertain the
suspicion that .the old man may have met
with foul play. Mrs. Fodlsch Is of the
opinion that her husband carried the money
on htm, and that If it had not been taken
from him before he jumped or was thrown
Into the river, it was taken from his
clothes at the time' the body was found.
When the body was takeh from the river
by the police and brought to the under
taker's there was nothing found In the
pockets of the man's clothing. Mrs. Fo
dlsch at the time stated aha was Inclined
to believe that Fodlsch had not tsken his
own life, but as the coroner decided that
an Inquest was unnecessary, the matter
was dropped.
Fodlsch is said to have left an estate
consisting of a cottage and three lots In
this city and a 160-acre farm near Wood
Lake, Neb.
Likely to Call . Rev." Power.
Revv John Power of St. Mark's church,
Hastings, Neb., who occupied the. pulpit of
St. Tsui's Episcopal church yesterday
morning, created a moa,t favorable Impres
sion upon the congregation, and it In likely
that, he will be extended a call to the
church,: which has been without a rector
since Rev. O. E. Walk resigned to go to
Cedar Rapids.
Rev. Power proved himself a forceful and
eloquent preacher. He took for the text of
his sermon, Titus II, 13-14, saying In part:
No gift was of efficient value In any
direction save the gift of a man's self.
Money, land, material, were only valuable
as they made this gift possible. Christ,
when He would save us, made that gift.
Th gift was made to redeem us. We were,
therefore, valuable. Depreciation of hu
manity was rebuked by the price paid to
redeem It. Men sold themselves for mean
r rices. They could only be redeemed with
he precious blood of Christ, They were
redeemed from all Iniquity, Inward and
outward, of .heart, of hand, of life. They
were redeemed, a people for Christ's own
possession. So, coming bark to the orig
inal proportion,' Christ gave Himself for
them thaf they Tnlsrht rve themseveabeK
to Him. r Freed from one slavery they must
become His willing -servants, sealous of
good works.
The person who was lealotis of good
works would consecrate thought, word and
endeavor to their performance, and would
thus devote himself to Christ's service. ,

Exercises In celebration of Louisiana Pur
chase Flag day will be held In all of the
public schools of the city Friday of this
week. The tranafer of the territory In
cluded In the Louisisna purchase took
place December 20. but as that date falls on
Sunday It has been arranged to hold th
exercises In the public "schools throughout
Iowa on Friday, December 18. A historical
leaflet for use in th publla schools has
been prepared by Hon. R. C. Barrett, su
perintendent of publlo Instruction, and these
have been distributed among the teachers.
The leaflet contains over thirty pages of In
teresting data on the Louisiana purchase.
State Superintendent Bsrrett In the In
troduction to the leaflet says:
The Department of Public Instruction In
repaying this leaflet Sims to awaken a.
greater Interest In the history of Iowa and
Its institutions, and of the Louisiana terri
tory. Its discoverers, explorers, early set
tlers end resources, and to call the atten

Th Are department was called at
o'clock last night to the building of the
Orahl-Petersen company on Pearl street,
where In some unknown manner charcoal
stored In the southwest corner of the
cellar was found ablase. The flames, which
were rapidly gaining headway by the time
the department arrived, were quickly ex
tinguished by the chemical engine crew.
Officer J. W. Kirk, while patrolling th
Pearl ctreet beat fortunately noticed the
flames In the cellar and turned In a still

opportune discovery the Are might have
been a costly -one, as the Grahl-Petersen

BITTER FICHT FOR JUDGESHIP
Ftnr Candidate! for Endorsement fot Dis
trict Bench from Vorthera Iowa,
DEADLOCK MAY BE BROKEN SOON
Private later seat Ion gnggeeta that the
Members of the Delegation Have
' Agreed on One Man Who Is
to Have the Prise.
(From a Staff Correspondent.)
DES MOINES, Dec. ll.(8peclal.) The
fight for the prise of Indorsement of. the
Iowa delegation for appointment aa Judge
of the United States district bench for the
northern district of Iowa, on of the two
districts Into which the state Is divided
for federal purposes, hss been dragging
along so slowly that It Is really attracting
little attention. The Iowa delegation com
menced about six weeks ago to do aome
balloting on the question and haa taken a
great many ballota without result. The
balloting Is confined to the members from
the northern pert of the state, seven In all,
as the two senators are Included In the list.
There are now four candidates and three
of them have two supporters eech. There Is
a deadlock which to all outward appear
ances Is one that cannot easily be broken;
but private Information received here Is to
the effect that It will be broken very aoon
and that possibly this week the Judge will
be named.
Have the Winner Chosen.
"The delegation has agreed substantially
on what will bs done." said one man who
has come back from Washington recently.
"The man who Is to get the prlxe Is known.
But the members desire to keep up the
show of a fight for a few days longer, so
as to square themselves with their candi
dates and their constituents, then they will
all lie down and the man will be named."
At the outset there were six candlates
Instead of four, namely: Craig Wright of
Bloux City, Senator Thomas Healey of
Fort Dodge, H. T. Reed of Cresco, F. F.
Dawley of Cedar Rapids, J. C. Longeuvllle
of Dubuque and M. H. Remley of Iowa
City. The two last named have dropped
out entirely. At the beginning It was be
lieved that Wright stood th best chance,
with Healey a close second. Since then
Reed has developed much strength. At
first It was apparently a fight between the
east and west, with Wright and Healey
working somewhat together. Now. to all
appearances, there Is much strife between
Wright and Healey. Senator Dolllver Is
for Healey In earnest and Senator Allison
Is understood to have gone to Reed after
Longuevllle dropped out. The Healey men
hoped they would get Haugen and Blrdso.ll
after their candidates were out of the way
and thus win with Dolllver and Conner.
The, Wright men have pinned their faith In
Allison, who. If he would go to Wright,
might take Blrdeall and Coualns and thus
nominate, or h might take Haugen and
Cousins, for it la oonceded Couslna will
follow Allison when the latter says the
word. I
Railroads Make Fight on Healey. '
The fight has had som elements In It
that were not pleasing nor of good repute.
The roost roPeCuqua . feature., of U has
beea th determined flfc-ht .mad; a 7teal
k h raiirnad men. Healey was in the
movement for revision of the taxation and
assessment of railroad property and had
(uinanlfuouB Dart therein. This Is one
reason he Is being bitterly fought by all
the corporation Interests of the state, i nen
t wee recalled that he called up . and J
pushed through the senate a resolution In
dorsing the Hoar bill to put a stop to "gov
ernment by injunction" In the federal
eourta. Newspaper clippings were gathered
to show that Healey made nimsen very oo
noxious on that measure and said some
things that appeared t6 be derogatory to
the federal courts. He was compeuea to
file counter efflldavtts on the subject and
make a showing to the contrary.
The fight may have some effect also in
state politics. Senator Dolllver is threat
ened wtlh ruin politically If he adheres to
Healey to the finish. It Is being said that
he haa got too many things for Fort Dodge
already and . the town should not have a
federal Judge along with senator, director
of the mint and solicitor of the treasury.
Then th northwestern portion of the state
la also threatened with determined opposi
tion If Wright Is pushed too nara. it is
AaxiereA that ha would make Sioux City
the headquarters of the court and Incon
venience the lawyer, of the rest or ins
state. No matter how the contest goes It
Is euro to leave many heart burnings. Th
candidates have got deep Into It and their
friends are determined. But when the
delegation has united there will be no fight
before the president for overturning the
choice of th caucus. 4
Coal In aonthwestern lown.
Coal operators In th city th past wek
expressed themselves much Interested In
the news of operations In tho compara
tively limited and entirely new coal fields
In Iowa In the southwestern part of the
state. There are four coal mlnea In opera
tion at Claiinda, The Johnson mln Is
said to be working thirty-eight men and
l.Ks) bushel of coal a day la being taken
out, all of which finds ready aale Id the
local market. Another mine la doing nearly
as well. The coal Is said to be very good.
It la easily mined,' 'as the vein Is from
eighteen to ' twenty Inches thick and at
a depth of only 171 feet. But the signifi
cance of It Is that th coal la found at a
point on ths Missouri slop proper, where
tbare haa never been very much coal
mined and the mines are the farthest
west of any mln In Iowa. Operators are
hoping that larger and batter deposits may
yet b found la th western part of th
stat.

Preparations are being made for a large
amount of Insurance legislation the com
ing year la low, and la no on thing is
greater Interest being manifested at this
time. It I now certain that a great many
bills will be presented and poshed hard in
both house and senate. The revelations of
the past two years aa to the weakness of
th law to tho matter of shutting out con
cerns that do a gold-brick bostneas makes
It certain there will be bill for greatly
strengthening the bands of the state efB

Hi other hand, have been organising all

J. R. Sage, head of the Iowa weather and

governor for two years more at the end of
his present term In April. The State Board
of Agriculture has recommended his reap

author of the taw which consolldsted the
weather and the crop service and made one
efficient bureau out of them. He was not a
candidate for continuation n tvie place, as
he stated that he feels he la becoming too
advanced In years to do the best work, but
th agricultural board desired him to con
tinue In the place. Ha expects to do aome
lecturing during the coming winter at far
