Salt Against Drngulst.
The damage suit of George Ij. Dewltt

divorce from William A. Habbitt on the
grounds of cruel and inhuman treatment.
Mrs. Babbitt was also allowed I to a month

I II '11 II I
Agricultural College at Amea Makes
a Contract with Government (or
Services of Two Experts
for Five Years.
(From a Staff Correspondent.)
DES MOINES, May 14.-(Speclal.)-The
employes at the state house who are tabu
lating the census have been thrown Into a
fever of excitement because of an Inquiry
from the auditor of Appanoose county ask
ing what to do with a lot of census cards
that have been exposed to the smallpox.
The cards are from a small portion of one
township and were kept with one of the
register books in tho home of an enumer
ator whose family became afflicted with the
disease. But though there are very few
of the cards and but one book, every em
ploye is afraid he will get those cards.
Secretary A. II. Davison has written the
auditor to consult a physician and see that
the cards are thoroughly and perfectly
fumigated before they are forwarded to
the census department. Recently one of
the young women employed on the work
had a breaking out on her hands and she
was sure that she had contracted some
disease from handling the cards. Then It
dawned upon the employes that they were
the focus point for all tho diseases in the
state. The cards go into every home in
the state with the enumerators and are
then sent to the census department at the
state house. The great bulk of the work
Is now done, and after all the curds are
in the tabulators will breath a sigh of
relief. The young woman's hands have
healed up, but every one Is on a nervous
strain for fear something else will be
caught and they are all washing their
hands with antiseptics.
From eighteen counties sufficient returns
have been compiled to show some Interest
ing conditions In Iowa nationalities. From
these eighteen counties so far as taublated
the foreign born over 45 years of age repre
sent 31) per cent of the population, while
of the people between the ages of 10 and
IS years the foreign born represent but
1.9 per cent of the total of that age. But
a large number of the children of tender
age are the children of the foreign born
parents. From four of the counties the
returns thus far show more persons of
foreign birth than native born for the ages
over 45 years.
To Cancel Fast Records.
The games committee of the Intercol
leglato Field Meet association at its next
meeting Is likely to cancel all records made
previous to ISL'5. This move Is to be made
because the records before that time were
on the word of partisan timekeepers. More
especially, it Is charged that the records
for the 220 and 100-yard dashes made by
Rush of Cornell and the 440 made by Whit
ney of Cornell, both of whom were Mar
shalltown boys, were never actually made
at all, but were fixed up by schoolmates
of the boys who held stop watches. The
records have never been equalled since, and
It is claimed that they -are impossible.
Flan Dairy Experiments.
According to a five-year contract between
the government and the state agricultural
college at Ames, the government is to send
an expert chemist and an expert bacteri
ologist to the state college to conduct
experiments. The college has Just com
pleted its new dairy building, which, ac
cording to Mr. Webster, who is the dairy
department chief at Washington, is the
finest building of its kind in the world,
and this building is to be open to the use
of the two government experts. There
will be experiments performed especially
along the lines of refrigeration for butter
and cream and a series of tests on the
flavor tit butter.
New School Books.
This is the year for the adoption of new
school books in thlrty-slx counties of the
state, and for this reason the state will be
overrun with school book agents. There
are ninety-nine counties In the state and
thus over one-third of these counties will
adopt new school books and make con
tracts for the next five years. Competition
Is fierce in this direction and the publish
ing houses have been planning for some
time on this harvest. The personal ac
qualntance of the agent with the school
men Is the chief asset, as the trustees of
the counties that make the selections are
as a usual rule men unversed In the matter
of school books and the number of sample
copies of dictionaries that are given out to
the trustees usually lands the contract.
The adoption of the books will be made for
the most part In September.
Favors Miss Allot Ward.
The friends of Miss Alice Ward of WU
Uamsburg are confident that she Is to be
elected treasurer of the Iowa Woman's
Relief corps at the coming convention at
Uskaloosa. They even go so far as to say
that It is all over but the shouting. The
oflice is the only one practically that there
Is a contest over. Even In the Grand Army
of the Republic there Is not the interesting
light there is over this office, for there are
but two candidates for the office of com
mander and the fight vlll be over on the
first ballot. For treasurer, however, tltere
are a large number of candidates. Mrs.
Jennie Trout's friends in this city claim
she is to be elected. The contest by those
who know, is said to be a close one, In
which Miss Ward and Mrs. Trout are the
leading candidates, but neither has the
election.
Blake Ileal Estate Assessments.
This Is the year for the executive council
sitting as the board of equalization, to
adjust the real estate assessments of the
state. This work will begin the first Mon
day in July and will be the first work taken
up by the council. Tho railroad assess

Fourth Attempt to Wreck Train.
This Is the fourth attempt In tho last
four months to wreck passenger trains in
the same place. Previous attempts were
made by piling ties on the tracks, but
without serious results. This wreck was
caused by removing the Bplkes and fish
plates of two rails on the Inside of a curve.
The engine on No. 17 passed over the loose
rails safely, but the mail car left the track
and was dragged 100 ynrds along the em
bankment before the train was stopped.
The next five cars, two express and bag
gage cars, smoker and two day coaches,
went Into the ditch across the right-of-way
fence and lodged In a zigzag line.
The end of tjie baggage car went up In the
air high enough to ground the telegraph
wires. Two Pullman sleepers remained on
the track. The passengers were asleep
when the wreck occurred and became
greatly excited, but soon formed a wreck
ing crew and went to the relief of the
men In the overturned baggage car. A
window was broken and, of seven men In
the car, six were found injured. Stretchers
were made from car doors and the wounded
were carried to a nearby field, where a
hospital was Improvised. An hour after
the wreck a relief train arrived from Em
poria and the Injured were taken to Em
poria. A hundred workmen were put to
w-rk on the track and It was cleared for
use again this afternoon.
There is no clue to the wreckers. Three
men were seen last night near the Howard
branch section house. This morning a
track wrench and claw bar were missing
and they were found in a pool of water
near the wreck.

Ferris Stork Company at th Boyd.
Twice yesterday the members of the Fer
ris Summer Stock company were given
ample evidence of their local popularity,
for at both the matinee and evening per
formances at the Boyd the sale of tickets
was stopped because the capacity of the
theater had been reached by the audience.
It was the most auspicious opening on
record for the summer company in Omaha.
The play offered is well known here. Miss
Grace Hayward's dramatization of the
George Barr McCutcheon novel, "Grau
stark." The welcome accorded Miss Marie
Pavey was most generous. Bhe has the
nt'tractlve part of Princess Tteve, and
makes much of It, the womanly elements
of the character being such as fit directly
Into her own. Her methods are those of
the accomplished actress, and her results
are most satisfying. She has played the
part before, but never better. To Miss
Hattle Carmontelle, also a prime local fa
vorite as well as an accomplished artist,
was given a warm greeting. Other mem
bers of tho company were made to feel
at home, and the production was most
complete and satisfactory. "Graustark"
will be the bill until after Wednesday
night. For the latter half of the week "In
Darkest Russia" will be put on. The cus
tomary matlneea will be given on Wednes
day and Saturday.
Caldwell Stork Company at the Krng.
Two overflowing audiences greeted the
Caldwell Stock company at the Krug yes
terday, the offering being "In the Heart
of the Rockies," a sensational comedy
drama by Clay M. Greene. The strength
of the company was represented In the
cast, and the piece was most effectively
presented. Mr. Caldwell and Miss Eckhart
won new laurels In their parts, and John
Mylla showed that his reputation locally
is not in vain. This bill will continue until
after Wednesday night, with the customary
matinee on Wednesday. For the latter
half of the week, beginning on Thursday
night, "Friends," the splendid comedy
drama, by Edwin Milton Royle, will be
offered.
