Miller of Bedford, Taylor county, was this afternoon appointed by Gov ernor Cummins to be Judge of the, dis trict court In the Third Judicial district to succeed Robert L. Purrlsh, who has resigned to enter the practice of law In this city. Miller Is about 35 years of age ond has been twice elected county attorney In Taylor county. He was ti candidate for the nomination when bis predecessor was named and on one ballot It is asserted that he had an actual majority of the bal lots, but before It was announced changes were made that deprived liim of the nom ination. Miller was born In Davenport, when his father. Rev. Emory Miller, well known In the Methodist ministry, was postor'of Grace church. Dr. Miller after wards had the First church In Des Moines and young Miller graduated from the West Des Moines High school, afterwards tak ing the law course at the State university.

Miller will hold until his successor is elected and qulifled, about a year hence, but he will be a can didate for the nomination himself. ' Offers a Reward. Governor Cummins this afternoon Is sued a proclamation offering a reward of 1;!00 for the arrest and conviction of the person who killed a farmer boy In Audu bon county last month. Richard Robson, aged 16, was left by his father at work In tho cornfield gathering corn on the afternoon of November 11, when the father went to Exlra. eight miles away on an errand. On the father's return the boy could not be found, but the horses were found late In the evening. Search was made for the boy by the parents and by neighbors, but no trace of him could be found and the conclusion was reached that he had run away from hla home. But on December 8, Mr. ICllne, a neighbor, cros sing the cornfield, came upon the dead body of tho boy lying only a short distance from where he had gathered some corn on the fatal day. There was evidence that he had been struck over the head and killed, but all efforts to locate the criminal have failed, hence the offer of reward made today. The affair Is mysterious, since it was not known that the boy had an enemy. v Closed the (.anibllna; Houses. 1 Information against the gamblers of Des Moines was filed today by Constable Dalley, one of the constables Indicted some time ago for corruption, and about a dozen well recognized gambling houses were shut UP.

A delegation of the gamblers called on John McVlcar, one of the candidates for mayor and demanded of him that he call Dalley off or they would defeat him for the nomi nation. McVlcar told them that they were known to be already working to defeat him and" gave them no comfort. They therefore closed a!l their houses and they will probably remain closed for a time at least.

IOWA FRUIT MEN ARE ANGRY Complain that Railroads Are Giving; Eastern Apple Growers a Great Advantage. GLEN WOOD, Ia.. Dec. 21 Southwestern Iowa fruit growers are up in arms be cause they believe the railroads of the west are discriminating seriously against them. They insist that under existing con ditions it is Impossible for Iowa apple grow ers to enter Into competition with eastern growers, who have In every way the best of it. These matters were discussed at some length at the meeting of the Southwestern I own, Horticultural society in Glenwood re cently and at that time a rpecial com mittee, consisting of D. I.. HeinKhelmer of Glenwood, J. p. Hess of Council Bluffs and W. M. Bamberger of Harlan was ap pointed to interview the various western railroads upon the matter and get a read justment of rates if possible. The com mittee will take up the matter at once and make a vigorous' campaign to estab lish more equitable conditions fur western fruit men. Especial complaint is made of the western rate on apples. It appears that the rate on apples is about three times that on grain and other produce. The apple men of Iowa say this stands In their way mere than anything else. They can't compete with the apple growers of Mki gan and New York, who have only to pay about half the freight rate that Iowa growers do. For instance. It oidy costs I1U on a car of apples from New York to Omaha, while from Glenwood to western Nthraska, a third of the distance, the rats is -) a car. MEASLES IS J00 PREVALENT Epidemic at Webster City "aid to Alarm Residents Itecnnae So Aavravated. WEBSTER CITY, la.. Dec. 2R.-(Sprclnl ) The epidemic of measles now raging In the city Is becoming serious. There are about twenty-five homes quarantined. The disease is not prevalent in a mild form, but an aggravated type. Unlike the smallpox and other "hrraklng-out" tlls easea, the meoslcs are given out in their worst form while the patient Is still In the catarrhal slate or before any breaking out occurs. In other diseases of this kind con tagion Is not present until the breaklng out period. The city authorities are mak ing every effort to check the run of tho disease. Like all children's complnlnts, however. It is a hard matter to check. The mumps are still raging also. The authori ties make no attempt to quarantine for the bitter disease, hence It will run its course before the city will be rid of It. In measles no definite quarantine Is mnde. The red card is put tip and taken down at the dis cretion of the physician attending the cuse.

EXTENSION S'ockmen in Vicinity of Ifoetee: Rare a Largely Attended Meeting. INSIST PROPOSAL MEANS RUIN TO THEM Remonstrances to He Irenlated In Wyoming;, Idaho ami Montana and Forwarded to Keuresentntl vea In Washington. MEETEKTFK, Wyo., Dee. 28. (Ppeclal.) The initial meeting of what is intenduil to be one of the strongest protests ever made was held here yesterday. It was a mans I meeting called to inaugurate a general protest from the people of Wyoming, Mon tana, and Utah over the proposed incorpor ation of the Yellowstone and Teton forest reserves into the Yellowstone National park, recommended to congress by the sec retary of the interior In his message of December 15. The recommendation of the secretary of the interior contemplates un nexlng to the National ptirk nearly 3 0o0 square miles in Wyoming, thirty square miles In Idaho, and 2ii square miles in Montana. It Is proposed to Incorporate this vast tract Into the National park, subject to the same restrictions and discipline. The meeting wa largely attended by cltlsens of every class, and some very strong speeches were made against the proposed legislation. The meeting adopted resolutions denouncing this attempt to Incorporate over S.O'iO.MO acres Into what would be practically a game preserve; de clares the withdrawal of this vast area from the available ranges would utterly ruin the livestock Industry of a territory several hundred miles square; declares the proposed legislation would force settlers who now have highly Improved ranches within the Yellowstone and Teton forest reserves to abandon them and their Im provements and take up lieu selections from what is left of government land sub ject to entry; denounce this as number attempt on the pait of eastern sportsmen to create a vast game preserve for theii" enjoyment, to the exclusion of the settlers who huve reclaimed and civilized this country and who are rightfully entitled to Its njoynienl; urges Wyoming senators and representatives in congress to use all means in their power to prevent such legislation, and calls upon the people of Wyoming, Idaho and Montana to publicly pretest In a similar manner. This community is entirely of one mind In this matter. It la the furt-st reserve fight of last summer greatly liitvnsltUd. The strongest, most appealing, most engaging short story that has come from the hand of 'this undisputed master of fiction is his contribution, "The Christmas Peace" Mr. P age is undoubtedly one of the ' foremost short story writers of the day, and this delightful Christmas tale, in which he has woven the charm and pathos of which ho is, master, will ap peal to hundreds of thousands of readers. This story, beautifully illustrated with drawings by Blendon Camp bell, appears in the for Stones R. H. RUSSELL, PUBLISHER, 3 WEST In that contention those directly concerned wire largely sheepmen and ranchmen. in this vast area thousands of herds and flocks iind both winter and summer range, and should the secretary's recommendation become a law grazing would be prohibited and many large ciutlit.s would be compelled to go out of business. In the present cae nil stockmen ure menaced alike and are thoroughly determined to win out In this as they did In the forest reserve tight with the department last summer. At thut time meetings of protest were he'.d in all parts of Wyoming and a petition sent to the picidciit signed by nearly 2.0'j'j citizens re tiding on or near tho reserve, praying for the restoration of the open lands to the grazing lnter.-sts of the stare. In this the people succeeded In having nearly I.miO.ijoO acres testored to them, and the hheepmen secured valuable grazing concessions tli. ru tcforo denied. The present struggle means life or death to the live stock Industry of a largo territory, and it consequent evil r fleets upon general business conditions. It la hoped by this early action to airangle the proposed legislation In its Imiplency, but should the measure be brought before congress the stockmen will Invoke the aid of the National I.lve Stock association and spare no expense to prVvent Its passage. Klml'ar meetings are being arranged for In all pans of norlhwestern Wyoming, mid in ten days it is predicted several thousand petitions will be on th'cir way toward Wash ington to be, used by the congressional dele gations. Today at a called meeting of the West Pig Horn stuck association, an organisa tion representing a large percentage of fattlemen ranging east of the National park, similar rfolutlons were passed and forwarded to Washington. The associa tion protests against any enlargements of the National Park. COUNCIL BLUFFS BOY INJURED Has Lev ('rushed by t ars lu Kanaai and Is ftot Likely to survive.
