excursion steamboat Susan, which recently
sunk In the Mlasourl river on Its trip from
Omaha to Sioux City, still lies almost sub
merged In the Big Muddy about two miles
east and half a mile south of Desoto Sta

there is little hope of saving' the vessel.
The wrecking crew of the dredgeboat re

Howard Fish Story At the risk of
being attacked by President Roosevelt and
other nature-fakers I am determined to
tell a true fish story. Sclentlflo writers
have long contended that no species of
snake ever eats fish. I am In position to
refute the claims of the scientists. One
evening recently I was fishing In a little
lake near Columbus, with. Judge Reeder
as my Instructor. We had anchored our
poles and were eating supper. Suddenly
there was much agitation of the water
near one of the poles. I ran t the spot
and drew in the line. There was some
thing on 'he hook, and It fought like a
four-pound bass. But It wasn't a bass.
It was a big black snake, about four feet
long. The snake had swallowed a four
Inch minnow, hook and all, and the hook
had fastened In his belly a foot below his
head. That's all there Is to this fish' story.
Snakes do eat fish, no matter what the
dentists may say. At least this one did,
and so certain am I of the fact that I
hall repeat the story en every occasion,
as long as Judge Reeder shall stand by
me, no matter If the emperor of all the
fakers shall laaue an order of banishment.

OMAHA, Sept. 24. To the Editor of The
Bee: If the Information given by the news
papers about the matter Is correct, the offi
cers of the juvenile court, or some of them,
have entered upon a course of removal of
families from a certain section of the city
where the surroundings are such as to make
a very Immoral atmosphere and vitiate the
children of these families.
Now, I call attention to the fact that, aU
though this matter haa been publicly men
tioned repeatedly. It seem not to have oc
curred to anyone that the sane, sensible.
legal and practicable thing to do Is to re
move the evil, Instead of driving people
away from It.
Think of It, a large number of children.
perhaps 200, subjected to that deadly moral
poison, and the matter publicly dtscussed,-
and everybody accepting the Idea that the
only thing to do Is to try to drive away
the people who have a right to stay there.
and let those who have no right to a habita
tion anywhere In the state of Nebraska con
trol the region, and remain.
No court has any more right to require
these families to move than I have to go
down there and drive them away with a
club, because there I abundant authority
for removing the evil.
What a sickly and disgusting notion, that
through illegal and unauthorised action of
the city officers the devil ha an Indefeas
ible title to a certain part of the city and a
seat on the bench beside the judge of the
juvenile court. t
Now, perhaps, some moral mossback will
read this, and set up a whine about "moral
spasms." A moral spasm Is the effort of
nature to cast out of the body politic the
poison that the mossbacks have put Into it.

IOW TO SUE FOR PENALTY
Attorney General Will Commence Suit
Against Western Union.
WILL TEST INCORPORATION LAW
Defect Found la Child Labor Lave
Which May Render It Inef
fectiveGovernment Paper.
(From a Staff Correspondent.)
DES MOINES, Sept . (Special.) Early
this week, probably Tuesday, th attorney
general will file the suit of the state of Iowa
against the Western Union Telegraph com
pany for violating the law of the state by
doing business In the state without first
having filed with the secretary of state a
certified copy ot Its articles of Incorporation.
This suit, when started, will be one or tne
most Important and Interesting the courts
have had for many years, because or the
fact that the amount Involved Is so large.
The penalty Is S109 a day. In the case of the
Western TJnJoh Telegraph company the
total amount run Into the vicinity oi
11,000.000.
In It statements to the executive council
the Western Union claim to be losing
money on Its Iowa business. Last year it
claim It took In J28,000. and It expense
were $4,000, and the year before It ex
pense were 1374,000 and it receipt but
S318.O0O.
The Postal Telegraph company la an Iowa
concern, with It article of Incorporation
filed here.
The policy that ha been followed by ome
former official In relation to foreign cor
porations may not be followed by Attorney
General Byers In relation to the corporation
laws. Lawyer disagree a to the meaning
of the statute requiring foreign corporations
to file in this state and pay the filing fee,
or be subject to the penalties of $100 a day.
Aa Interpreted by some, section 1637 of the
code exempts all corporations doing busi
ness In the state before September 1, 1886.
One sentence In that section ay:
"Any corporation transacting business In
this state prior to the first day of Septem
ber, 1888, shall be exempt from the payment
of the fees required under the provision of
thl section."
Bom lawyer Interpret thl a a ort of
Immunity hath for all corporation doing
business in the state at the time the law
was. passed. They interpret it that corpor
ations doing business before that date not
only are exempt from paying the filing fee,
but are exempt from all the provisions ot
the law; are exempt from filing certified
copies of their article of Incorporation and
from paying any fine of $100 a day If they
don't.
Other lawyer interpret It that while they
are exempt from paying the original filing
fee, they are not exempt from filing certified

' In the report of Prof. Loo of trie Iowa
child labor committee to the national com
mittee Just Issued, it Is stated that the one
weakness In the Iowa child labor law Is
the Insufficiency of proof al to the age ot
a child and It Is understood that the next
legislature will be asked to strengthen the
law In that respect. The report states that
while the weakness was known before the
last legislature met, it waa thought best to
ask tor no changes at that time as the law
was new and It waa thought best that It
have a thorough trial first
The question aa to the age of a child
la the one recognised difficulty In every
state, according to those having Informa
tion on the subject It 1 difficult for the
factory Inspector to tell whether the child
I telling the truth or not, and parents,
otherwise very truthful, think it no crime
at all to Instruct, their child to say that It
la two or three years older than it is.
When a factory inspector enters a factory
he Is adsolutely certain to find that every
child there I over 16 year old according
to th word of th child and that of it
parent a well. Th factory owner fall
pack on the word of the child and th
word of It parent, and otherwise truth

make sworn affidavit to false age aa to
their children. Th .law become thus a
sort of Immunity bath for th factory
operator. He refers to th statement of
the child or Its parent and that relieve
him.

pretty good guessers on the age of chll -
aren. They resort to the records on file
with
the city clerks and often are able
to find the real age of the child In that
way. Practically all of the prosecutions
brought have to be based on some such
Information as that. In some states re
sort has been had to a provision of law
that requires a certificate from the city
clerk or other official with whom the birth
statistics are filed. This would still be an
Immunity for the factory operator, but It
would be quite likely to be accurate. With
a law requiring that every birth be filed
with the city or township clerk, and a
further law, requiring that before a child
can work In a factory there must be filed
a certificate from the clerk giving the. date
of Its birth the work of the factory In
spector would be much easier and It would
be possible to guard against children work
ing in violation of thn age provision.

f Municipalities will ask that the law rf
latlng to railroad assessments be changeisr
Thls subject haa been agitated before. .It.
Is probable, however, that at the nexf
session the question of taxation generally
will be gone Into quite deeply, either to
provide for commission to study the prob
lem or else 'to amend the law during the
session, and this proposition will be handled,
with the rest. '
The action of the league grows out of
the address of Mayor Macrae of Coun
cil Bluffs, at the last convention of the
league, In which he maintained that the
cities should have all the benefit ot the
railroad property In them. Under the pres- .
ent system the executive council assesses
the entire railroad property and then dl-
vldes It by the number of miles of road
In the state. Each county then gets as
much as the mileage- In its own borders. ,
But the property Inside of cities Is worth .
more per mile than that In the country
and the country districts thus gain whlla , .
the cities lose.
