DES MOINE8, June 8.-8peclal Tele
gram.) Governor Cummins today refused
a requisition to Sheriff Lund for Frank
Shercllffe, on tha grounds that the show
ing of evldenoa that he was a fugitive from
Justice waa Insufficient. The Indictment
was presented without any of the evidence;
on which it waa baaed. The governor held
that under the Iowa, statute this was In
sufficient. Elmer Thomaa waa Mked by the gov
ernor If he thought there was warrant for
holding Shercllffe in Iowa so long merely
to have him for a witness, Thomas thought
warrant and precedent could be found.
Governor Cummins expressed grave doubt
on that point and snld all requisitions had
been refused before because of insufficient
evidence thak Bhercllffe was a fugitive.
Sheriff Litind waa unrepresented by an at
torney and In his own statement said a
tnere indictment was sufficient In California,
Montana and many other states where he
had gone, and thought it should do here.
In case Lund perfects his papers Thomas
was promised a hearing on the pretense
that the Indictment was Inspired by Den
nlson and his friends.

The contract for the big Monona-Har-
rlso. ditch, the largest drainage ditch In
Iowa, waa let today by the Joint boards of

of the Little Sioux river, was let to the
Chicago Onne.1 Construction 'company ' for
13H cents per cubio yard. Sections two and
three were let to the Farrls-Kessel Con
struction company of Boise City, Idaho,

county man, at 11 cents. There Is estimated
to be 8,272,712 cablo yards In the work. The
Job will amount to nearly $400,000 and Is
thought to be one of the most Important
Improvements ever undertaken In Iowa.
Seventy-six thousand acres of land is ex

CURRENT LITERATURE.
The Harpers announce that the second
set of five volumes In the Important scries
of the American Nation will not be pub
lished all at one time, as were the first
Ave. Instead, the volumes will sppear a
the rate of one a month during the com
Ing summer. The next In the series, volume
vl, will probably be Issued In June. It Is
written by Prof. Evarts B. Oreene of the
Illinois State university, and bears the
title of Provincial America. The single
story of a nation, wrought by a quarter of
a hundred pair of hands, is an event of the
utmost Importance In the literary world, In
which all Intelligent persons must feel
lively Interest. The excellence of the re
sult, however. Is assured by the fact that
the authors of the separate volumes are
specialists In their respective subjects
Unity Is given to the series by the able
editorship of Prof. A. B. Hart of Harvard
university.
Among more than 200 distinct contrtbu
tlons to the Touth's Companion's five June
Issues will be articles by Carroll D. Wright,
Prof. Dudley Sargent, Helen Keller and
David Buffum, the authority on the care
and training of horses; stories by Mar
garet Johnson, Winifred Klrkland, the
writer of college stories; Fisher Ames, Jr.,
Carroll Watson Ilankln and others, who
are always to be counted upon to delight
the Companion's audience.
The World Today has surpassed Itself
In the June Recreation number In variety
of topics and illustration. It would be
hard to find a 25-cent magazine that would
appeal to as cosmopolitan taste and divers
likings as this 10-cent periodical does in
this latest Issue.
It Is now sixteen years since the Outlook
began Its annual practice of publishing
about the 1st of June a special Illustrated
number having to do with out-of-door
life, vacation experiences and recreation
generally. As usual, the Recreation num
ber for this year contains a large variety
of articles and several scores of pictures.

The Garden Magazine for June Is a
superbly Illustrated number of this most
practical of all out-door publications. From
the "Gardener's Reminder" on the first
page, telling the actual things to do, to
the many departments on "Hardy Borders,"
"Annual Flowers," the "Bulbs," "Water
Gardens" and the like, it covers t)r sub
ject of planting and of growlnr flowers
vegetables and fruits during the month, In
the most adequate ,way,
The June Issue of Country Life In Amer
ica Is the annual vacation number and is
the strongest outdoor Issue of , the maga
zine in Its history. It gives 100 vacation
experiences, ranging from deep sea yacht
ing In a small boat to an automobile In
the wilderness of the Canadian mountains.
And the 100 first hand experiences are so
many hints for each reader of the methods
In which be can plan his own vacation.
"Personal Magnetism and Auto-Sugges-tlon"
Is the title of the leading article In
Suggestion for June, a magazine of the
New Psychology for thinkers (Chicago).
The magazine advocates the theory that
correct mental attitudes have far-reaching
effects on every condition of life, and
that all have Inherent psychic powers
which may be cultivated with great profit.
The Reader Magazine for June contains
the first Installment of Meredith Nichol
son's new story, "The House of a Thou
sand Candles," which will ' run through
seven numbers of the magazine. The
story is conceded by those who have had
an opportunity of reading it to be by far
the most vivid. Intense and virile novel Mr.
Nicholson has produced.
Mayor Dunne of Chicago, General O. O.
Howard, Charles Warren Stoddard and
Dallas Lore Sharp head the list of con
tributors to the" June National Magazine.
Mayor Dunne's theme Is "Chicago and
Municipal Ownership," and he declares
there are 890,000,000 of water In the stocks
of the Chicago street railways that will
never be paid for by the city.
The June number of The Booklovers
Magazine is particularly full of timely and
well Illustrated articles. There are four
beautiful pictures in color. Including Mels
sonler's celebrated portrait of himself, now
in the Louvre. There Is also a most Inter
esting group of full-page pictures of
famous American illustrators In their
studios.
A' glance through the beautifully Illus
trated pages of the June Housekeeper Is
sufficient to show why this up-to-date pub
lication has come to be known as the
"Magazine of Helpfulness." In one or
other of the many practical departments,
edited by experts, the busy housewife will
find solutions for all of her dally problems.
In addition to help and Instruction there
Is much of entertainment In the number.
Emerson Hough's recent ' a resignation
from the editorship of "F1..M an a. .,.

Peruna Wins a Salt.
The question of a comninv h.vin. . ,
tract with a patent medicine house to
handle their goods and sell only to drug
gists who are not cutters, has been de

Treaanrer Howe Sends Oat Distress
Warrants In Kleven Cases and
la Esprctlnat K.arly Re
turns from t'onrt.
Thursday afternoon E. E. Rldgeway,
personal tax collector In the employ of
City Treasurer Howe, served eleven dis
tress warrants at the Live Stock exchange.
These warrants were served for the pur
pose of bringing about a friendly suit. The
personal taxes declared delinquent by the
city treasurer are for the years 19i3 and
14. In a number of cases those who are
claimed to be delinquent assert that the
property has been overvalued. It Is un
derstood that those who were served with
the distress warrants will hold a meeting
and secure an attorney to replevin the
property, supposed to have been taken un
der the distress warrants.
City Treasurer Howe expects that by
Monday he will be served with an order
from the district court preventing him
from selling the property listed In the dis
tress warrants. About $1,000 In taxes Is
Involved In the elevnn cases.
At the city treasurer's fflce It Is stated
that by taking this procedure the persons
owing personal taxes wilt be given an
opportunity of going Into court and prov
ing, If possible, that the assessments for
the two yearr mentioned Is too high. There
Is no feeling In the matter and this course
was agreed upon some days ago by Treas
urer Howe and some of those on whom
distress warrants were served. Mr. Howe
is very anxious to have the courts pass
upon this question, as he has no desire
to go ahead with distress warrants unless
he has a perfect right to do so under the
law. This question is one which will be
closely watched by those who are still
In arrears In the payment of personal
taxes. The understanding seems to be
that every effort will be made by both sides
to secure an early hearing of the cases, In
order that the treasurer may know what
action to take in the future.

Want More Information.
W. J. Hayes & Sons, who purchased the
870,000 city hall bonds, are now after ad
ditional information. Thursday City Clerk
Glllln received a letter from these Cleve
land bankers asking for a certified copy of
the amended South Omaha charter. Clerk
Glllln has written to Lincoln to see if It Is
possible to secure a certified copy of sen
ate roll No. 188. As soon as this codv la
received it will be forwarded to Hayes &
Sons. There Is liable to be some delay In
securing this copy and the presumption is
that the time limit on the bonds will be ex
tended a few days as the Hayes bank has
shown eo much Interest In the bonds, and
the securities are now being lithographed.

Russell's right leg was amputated above

CHINNY WILL BE SAFE HERE
Cigarette-Smoking- Monkey Need Not
Fear Law When lie Comes
to Omaha,
Chlnnr, the cigarette-smoking monkey of
the Forepaugh-Sells Bros, show, which ar
rives In Omaha Sunday and exhibits Mon
day, will not have the trouble he did re
cently In Indiana, for the anti-cigarette
law enacted by the last Nebraska legisla
ture Is not yet In effect.
The wit of a practical Joker and the re
fusal of an Indiana constable to be bluffed
caused considerable trouble recently for the
managers of the show. The Joker, giving
his name as John Jones, swore out a war
rant before the city Judge for the arrest of
C'hlnny, an employe of the show, on u
charge of smoking cigarettes. The com
plaint was later transferred to another
court and placed In the hands of a consta
ble to serve.
On his arrival at the grounds the consta
ble drew his revolver and, displaying his
badge and the warrant, demanded of the
gatemnn that he be shown at once Into the
presence of the offending Chlnny. Consid
erable trouble was had In gaining entrance
to the tent, but after finding tha manager
and securing the aid of two patrolmen, the
constable finally was admitted to the main
tent, where he was Informed Mr. Chinny
would be found.
Vpon entering the officer was startled by
a loud and angry cry directly In front of
him. HO took a step forward and halted,
looking squarely at the offending Chlnny.
Considerable surprise was manifest on the
constable's face when he was Informed
that Chlnny was no less a personage than
the large, black monkey In the cage before
him. who even at the time held a partially
smoked "coffin tack" between his teeth
The constable stared at the placard on the
money's cage, which read:
"Mr. Chinny, the Monkey that Smokes
Cigarettes."
l ne constable Insisted, however, that
Chlnny go to Jail with him, claiming that
even if he were a monkey he should have
better Judgment than to smoke cigarettes
In defiance of the new anti-cigarette law in
Indiana. The manager of the show expos
tulated with the Insistent upholder of the
law, but to no avail. The monkey was
"pinched." Finally, however, the constable
said that if the manager would pay tho
fine for Chinny the Justice would be satis
fied.
