ALL POWERS PUCLD IN K CCMMISSrOfl Seeoad Cavalry to Garrison Fort Des Molars, Portloa at Troops to March Overlaad to Their Sew Post. (From a Staff Correspondent ) DES MOINE3. May 25 -,Spec!al.)-Th fight In Des Moines between suporters of the new "Des Moines rian" of municipal g'-'Vernment and the adherdt.ts of the old ward alderman system, now In force, has grown to such proportions as to be tha all absorbing topic of conversation ln the capital city. It is propesed to adopt a form of government, appointing five commis sioners to transact all tha affairs of t'.io city ln place of th system how In force. A great deal of opposition haa developed, much of this from the labor classes who assert that th new form of government Is being backed only by th blue-stocking clasa Were the plan submitted to a vote of the people today It Is confidently ssserted and this too la admitted by Its promoters that the new plan would fall of endorsement by the poople. Put those In fsvor of it have begun a systemstlc plan of education which Is to be pushed forward to the day of election when It Is hoped by them the commission plan will triumph. The greatest argument advanced by those opposing the commission plan of govern ment Is that It Is contrary to the constitu tion and against all Ideas of government promulgated by our forefathers that It Is government without representation. That all the commissioners could be appoint -d from but one precinct. Those favoring the measure assert that politics should be divorced from municipal government and that this Is the only ef fective means of doing so; that the people can be persuaded to get out and vote en masse only when they believe there will be some radical change In the form of ad ministering government In the city, second Cavalry Here. Orders were Issued from the W.ir de partment at Washington today Instruct ing the Second cavalry to move from Ne braska, Montana and Minnetota to Fort Des Moines, there to take the place re cently vacated by the Eleventh cavalry. For years the Scond cavalry has been on of the most conspicuous regiments of the country. One of the officers whose memory th regiment delights to honor Is General Harney, who waa vlth tha reg iment In the old dragoon days, vho was for a time its colonel and whose tomo at Arlington bears the remarkable recorl of a man vho saw seventy years of ser vice. Many distinguished confederate offi cers, among them General Hardee, au thor of "Hardee's Tactics," served before the rebellion with the Second. Among the officers of tffe regiment Is First Lieutenant Clarence A. Scott, who Is a son-in-law of Colonel William F. Cody, best known as Buffalo Bill. The two squadrons of the Second cav alry now located ln Minnesota nd Ne braska will march overland to the post at Des Moines. The squadron coming from Montana will travel by rail. Body Foss4 la River. Thomas Nevlns of Iowa City was mur dered and robbed and his lifeless body thrown Into the Mississippi river at Mus catine, according to the belief of his brother Samuel cf Iowa City, who has gone to Muscatine to push tha Inquiry Into the manner of his brother's death. Nevlns' body vss found floating tn the river, and th finger marks around his throat Indicate that he had been choked to death. He had drawn about $250 from the bank shortly before he disappeared. Hir brothers believe that the sight of a "roll" flashed before th eyes of some one prompted them to pursue and strangle him. Th father of Nevlns waa burned alive ln a fire which destroyed his home ln Muscatine several weeks ago. At that time It was believed by many that the old man had been murdered and that his home had been set aflra to conceal the crime. IOWA MAS' KILLS HIS NEIGHBOR Elsaer Pratt, Llvlns; 5ear Iowa City Shaots -William O'Connell. IOWA CITT, Ia., May 25. Special Tele gram.) William Connell, a farmer living seven miles from Iowa City, was killed by Elmer Pratt, a near neighbor, late last night as the result of a family quarrel of many years standing. Details of the affair are lacking, as Pratt, who Immediately gave himself up to Sheriff Rowland, re fuses to make any statement other than that a man must defend his home. Connell had spent the day In Iowa City and was returning home when be met Pratt near the tatter's house. It Is sup posed that the old quarrel broke out again, as Pratt shot Connell vlth a shot gun on the right side of the chest. Con nell died before medical aid could be sum moned. Pratt Is now lodged in the county Jail, but It Is not expected the grand Jury will act on the case at once. The trial will probably be held at the September term. Iowa Man Write Play. DENTIN. Ia..
