' case now on ' the calendar. Judge

One of the most important personal In
Jury suits ever tried In Pottawattamie
county will be begun today beforo Judge
Thornell. It Is the case In which Louis
A. Weber, a railway mall clerk of this
city, seeks to recover 135,000 from tuo
Hock Island Railroad company for l In
juries received in the wreck near Honie
1 Mead, la., on March 22, 1905. In an
ticipation of the trial . of the case oc
wijy.ia that time, the entire week has
Lcen assigned for it.
The case is Important not only irom the
large amount of damages sued for, but
also from the fact' that the railroad com
pany disclaimed any responsibility on
tbe grounds that the wreck was caused
by Erlo von Kutileben, a young man
residing at Bouth A man a, la. Kutzlebcn
was convicted of wrecking the train, but
the supreme court reversed and re
manded the case. Kutsleben's second
trial has not yet taken place. Weber,
who was seriously injured about the
spine, alleges that the wreck w.vi
caused by a defective truck.
The first criminal case assigned for
trial before Judge Mctcy today Is that
of August Carlson, Indicted on the chargu
of passing a forged check on Saloon
keeper Smith of West Broadway. Carl
son was tried last week, but tho Jury
after being out twenty-eight hours with
out being able to agree on a verdict was
discharged. At the new trial County At
torney Hess expects to be able to product)
new testimony In behalf of the state.
Following the Carlson case the second
trial of Roy M. Stevend. the linotype
maehlnst charged with attempted crim
inal assault on ll-year-o!d. Christina
Chrlstensen, is to be commenced. At tho
former trial Stevens was convicted, but
a new trial was granted by Judge Green

DES MOINES, Feb. 10. (Special.) "The
state of Iowa Is allowing millions of dollars
to float to waste down Its rivers and all It
has to do to get that wealth Is to reach
out and take It " This Is the statement
of Slate Railroad Commissioner N. 8.
Ketchum.
"The fact Is," continued Mr. Ketchum,
"that the rivers of this state could supply
all the light, practically ell the power and
most of the heat In the state If they were
only turned to that end. This state Is
covered with mill streams. Its they used to
say In the old days. Take the Dea, Moines
river. From one end to the other it ought
to be used for power, light and heat. Look
at the Mississippi on - one border and the
Missouri on the other. That water floating
past the state represents just that much
energy ready to b. converted Into power,
light or heat.
"Look at Keokuk and what they are try
ing to do. There (a enough power to be
obtained right there at Keokuk to run
every street car in the state of Iowa and
light all the cities. Give this natter a
little thought and anyone wlll at once
be convinced of the enormity of the propo
sition. There ought to be organised a syn
dicate with j' millions of capital to build
dams here and there along the rivers and
supply the state with power and light. ,
Steam In General Us.
"My attention W'as called to the matter
by traveling about the state and seeing
so many places where steam is being used
when water power ought to be used. Look
at this new electric line up to Fort .Dodge.
That line should be operated entirely from
electricity from water power. The line Is
close to the Des Moines river most of the
way. There at Frazler they have gone and
erected a big fine power plant for steam.
They have It there close to the source of
coal supply. The plant Is directly over -he
coal mine and the coal Is hoisted from the
ground and shoveled. Into the furnaces with
out being transported. This Is a veiy fine
Idea, but that power plant stands almost
exactly where they ought to have a dam
across the Des Moines river and get their
power for next to nothing.
"Over at Peterson, la., there Is a little
mill dam runnn.g a mill. It Is idle at night.
Just when it ought to be lighting the streets
of the town and furnishing electric heat
possible for the homes. There is hardly an
Important town In the atate but Is on a
river or close enough to a river that it
could utilize the water power. It is not
necessary that the dam be at the city. It
can frequently be two miles up or down the
stream. There . is the town of Ackley, a
fine little town It ought to get power and
light from a dam either at Iowa Falls or
Steamboat Rock.
Iowa Dam Syndicate.
"There never was a proposition pre
sented to me that feemed to have greater
possibilities than this. If I was a man of
wealth I would like, nothing better than to
invest In a syndicate to build dams all
over Iowa. Iowa Is full of good rivers.
No need to name them. They are every
where. Electric energy can be trans
mitted almost any distance now, and easily
can be transmitted across the entire state.
But that Is not needed, for here Is the Mis
sissippi on one side and the Missouri on
the other and the Des Moines river In the
middle, with any amount of other streams
In between these.
"Des Moines Is an excellent example of
how money Is going to waste down the
river. The only use to which the Des
Moines river is being put Is by the Edison
Light company. It uses it for electric
light. Then there are some Ice companies
that cut ice from Its surface one month of
the year. There Is enough energy In the
Des Moines river, If rightly used, to run
every factory In town. A half mile below
the Edison dam another dam could be con
structed that would duplicate the amount
of power from the Edison dam, and half
a mile below that another could be con
structed that would do the same thing
over again, and still another could be con
structed above the Edison dart). The Edison
dam, ' furthermore. Is not constructed to
get the greatest amount of power possible
from the stream at one point.
"Marshalltown, Waterloo. Fort Dodge,
Boone, Iowa Falls, Eldora, Steamboat
Rock, Webster City, Ottumwa, Oskaloosa,
Slgourney, Knoxvllle and many other
towns are either on streams or are close
enough to them to utilize their1 power.
Iowa, of course, haa coal In abundance,
and that Is something to rejoice over, but
why not 'utilize the water power and sell
the coal to states that have no water
power T The more I think of the thing,
the more reasonable seems to me the
thought that Iowa Is losing millions every
year from not utilizing Its water power."
Report on the Weeds. x
A preliminary report by the State Agri
cultural college at Ames on the prevalence
of noxious weeds In the atate of Iowa
shows that unless strenous efforts are made
at once, it will cost the state of Iowa
thousands of dollars to rescue the state
from these weeds. Industrially, Iowa Is
barely a generation old, and In that time,
and more especially In the last few years,
weeds that are not native to the state, such
as quack . grass, burdock and cocklebur,
wild mustard and the like, have spread
over the state till In some places .It haa
cost farmers hundreds of dollars in efforts
to kill out the weeds.
Furthermore, when they are killed out
In the fields, they still thrive In the road
sides and the railroad right-of-way and
spread back Into the fields. In the pre
liminary report It Is stated that 160 acres
belonging to H. L. Emmert near Sibley,
la., became Infested with quack grass so
badly that for one entire year he had to
keep the greater part of it plowed under
and continually cultivated with no crops.
Later he was able to plant millet and buck
wheat on portions and corn on others, and
by vigorous cultivation and by going over
the worst portions of the land with forks
and continually keeping the ground stirred,
it wss finally killed out of the farm.
Other farmers have been forced to
cover great patchea of their farms with
tar paper to smother out weeds. Rag
weed, morning glory and milkweed are
native to Iowa, but cultivation of the
land has caused them to spread and be
come more prevalent. The worst of the
weeds, however, are thoae that have boon
Imported by civilization by being spread
In seeds that are sold for planting and by
getting started along the railroad tracks
and highways. They spread ' by being
washed about by melting snows and run
ning streams.

Preliminary Investigations seem, to
show that cockltburr Is the roost preva
lent weed In the state, and the others,

which they are scattered over the state
are: Wild mustard, , squlrrel-tall, sweet
clover, quack grass. Canada thistle, Jim
son weed, smooth dock, curled dock, wild
oats, horse nettle," el vet weed, morning
glory, corn cock,le ,: burdock, cowbane,
clover dodder, ragweed. Russian thistle,
sour dock.
The Investigation ' by the college shows
that the weeds that prevail In the fields
also prevail on the roadsides and along
the railroads and from there are scat
tered to the fields In the two tiers of
counties on the northern border of the
state, mustard weed la very prevalent.
East of Kossuth county to the Mississippi
river and north alsng the ' lino of the
Northwestern railroad is the ' territory
over which quack grass is most preva
lent. Cocklcburr Is found to be partic
ularly common In Jhe southern half of
the state, but in the last few years . haa
been spreading north very rapidly. Horse
nettle, which started In the southern part
of the state, has In fifteen years spread
nearly to the Minnesota line.
The Investigation by the state college
shows that very little effort Is being
made In moat localities to exterminate the
weeds, with the exception of mowing
them down, but this method is not ef
fective. It Is found that there is no ac
cepted method that is a sure cure for the
worst weeds. Quack grass and some
similar weeda spread by means of the
roots and the plowing of. them only scat
ters the roots and increases the number
of weeds. It Is found that by continuous
cultivation, thus keeping the weeds under
ground' for an entire year, they are
killed, but with farm land valued at $100
an acre a farmer cannot afford to allow
a farm to be idle for twelve months.
The Information being - secured by the
Agricultural college Is being secured for
the committee of the State Board of Ag
riculture, which will lay the facts before
the next legislature.

NEW IOWA CITY CHURCH OPENED
Dedication of Fine Structure Erected
br the Methodists.
IOWA CITY, la., Feb. 10.-(Speclal.) The
opening and dedication of a magnificent new
church In this city yesterday marks a
great stride In the advancement of Method
ism In the middle west. In 1R39, a few
months after Iowa City had been named
as the site of the proposed state capital,
while the site was yet virgin forest, Joseph
Klrkpatrlck preached the first sermon in
Johnson county. One year later the Meth
odist Episcopal church of Iowa City was
formally organized. Today, after sixty
eight years, that body dedicated a structure
that in point of value and architectural
beauty rivals' any edifice In the middle
west.
At a cost of $ltX,000 the present building
has been completed. It Is built of rock
faced white sandstone, trimmed with Bed
ford limestone. The architecture is Gothic,
of the fifteenth century. The building la
80x119 feet In general dimensions, and built
In the most modern style. The auditorium
is constructed wtlh a "bowled" floor,
amphltheatrlcally seated; the pulpit, organ
and choir loft are In tho front of the
church, with the two front entrances on
either side. The Sunday school department
Is In the rear of the main amphitheater
and is built on the Akron plan, with the
class rooms radiating from tho main room
like the spokes of a wheel. When these
two departments are, thrown together by
means of large sliding doors the seating
capacity easily exceeds 1,600. Bishop W. F.
McDowell preached the sormon.

GLASSWORKERS KEEP UP FIGHT
Fonda Being; liaised to Carry
Cnae Involving- the Life of
tile Organisation.
IP
CLEVELAND, O., Feb. 10. At a meeting
of the executive board of the National
Window Glass Workers held last night,
It was, decided to fight the recent decision
of Judge Phillips, in common pleas court,
which resulted in the dissolution of the
old union, the Amalgamated Window
Glass Workers of America, of which the
National Window Glasa Workers are the
successors.
It was stated by President A. L. Faulk
ner that funds for the purpose of carrying
the fight to the higher courts, had been
donated by organised labor from all parts
of the country. The fight, he said, would
be waged upon the theory that the decis
ion was a blow at organised labor. Judge
Phillips dissolved the union upon the
ground that the principles were in restraint
of trade. The suit was begun by the Glasa
Cutters and Flatteners, who alleged that
the union did not allow them to use ma
chinery upon penalty of expulsion from the
union, thus depriving them of an 'occupa
tion. The executive board also adopted a reso
lution which will allow apprentices to fill
all vacancies in flattening houses and cut
ting room plants operated under the super
vision of the National Window Glass
Workers. s

COAL LAND VALUEslioT FIXED
Oklahoma Commission. Says Snfflclent
Facts Are Not sui Yet
Available.
GUTHRIE, Okl., Feb. 10,-The report of
the commission authorized to Inquire Into
the exten". and value of the segregated
coal and asphalt lands belonging to the
Choctaw and Chickasaw nation, looking to
wards their purchase by the state, will be
submitted to the Btate legislature within
a few days. The commission is said to
have reached the conclusion that at this
time there is no means at hand to ascertain
the reasonable value of the lands, but that
under no circumstances should a price In
excess of $10,000,000 be considered by the
state. The purpose of the proposal to buy
the lands Is to give the state control of Its
coal and aaphalt resources.
John F. MrMurray of McAlester appeared
before the commission and exhibited a con
tract between the Choctaw and Chickasaw
tribal governments on the one side and
on the other the law firm of Mansfield,
Cornish & McMurray and Cecil A. Lyon '
of Texas, by which the latter were to
negotiate the sale of the lands and to re
ceive a commission amounting to $1,000,000
if the lands were sold to the state.

JLS THE GEHMS
OF SCROFULA
One of the unchangeable laws of nature is that "like shall beget like."
Parents who are related by the ties of blood, or who have a consvmptive ten
dency, or other family blood taint are sure to transmit it to their children in tha
form of Scrofula. Swollen glands, brittle bones, weak eyes, hip disease,
pale, waxy complexions, sickly bodies, running sores and ulcers, etc., are thtfjJ
usual manifestations of the disease. Those who have inherited a scrofulorui
tendency may succeed in holding it in check during young, vigorous life,
but after a spell of sickness, or when the system begins to weaken and lose
its vitality from other causes the ravages of the trouble will become manifest
and sometimes run into Consumption. S. S. S. goes down into the circulation
and forces out the scrofulous deposits, kills the germs and completely cures
the disease. It changes the quality of the blood by removing all impurities)
and poisons, and supplying this vital fluid with rich, health-sustaining:
qualities. S. S, S. is a purely vegetable medicine, and is especially adapted to
systems which have been weakened and poorly nourished by scrofulous blood.
