(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

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

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.

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.

very apt to render them susceptible to the pneumonia germ, tending to make
