Rains Damage Streets.
The members of the cky council, meeting
as a committee of the whole yesterday
afternoon, decided to. grant-the request of
"Fire Chief Nicholson that the fire ibmrl.
ment be permitted to send a team to the
state firemen's tournament to lieM
ths last four days of July In Clinton.
The councllmen took a ride over the
city and viewed the flooded districts, hut
reached no deelHlon as to the best means
of affording relief to the residents of these
sections of the city.
On Woodbury avenue they found - the
rain had caused a deep gully which evi
dently was exceedingly dangerous to traf
fic. Aa the waaliout Is partly over the
line of the city limits, the councllmen de
cided to lay the matter before the Board
of County Supervisors, with a request
that the rosd be repulied out of the county
road fund.
The damage caused by the recent heavy
rains has wrought havoc with the fund at
the disposal of the streets and slleys com
mittee. 6tre Commissioner Flood has
been compelled to employ a force of fifteen
to twenty men and 'number of teams to
clear away the mud washed onto the paved
thoroughfares from the hill streets. In
addi'.lon to this work there have been
been many washouts on the dirt streets
to be filled, and this has Involved considerable-
expense.
The appropi iatton for the afreets and al
leys fund this year was only $H.0iX. Last
year the cost i.f maintaining the streets hi
condition wits over fc'o.OtO, id Indications
are that the fund for this year will be
exhausted long before the txplratlon of the
f.sial year.

WESTERN UNION MUST PAY
Father-in-Law Not Notified of Death
. of Daughter-in-Law.
SPLIT HAIRS IN WILL CASE
HnlPs Lead In Seventh District Cot
Down to Three and Most of
Polk Conntr Yet to Be
Canvassed.
(From a Staff Correspondent.)
DES MOINES. June 11. (Special.) A
man Is entitled to damages for Injury to
his feelings if a telegraph company falls
to deliver a message telling him of the
death of his daughter-in-law, according to
the supreme court of Iowa. The decision
war given in a case which involved the
failure of the Western Union to deliver a
message from W. J.. Foreman of Wausa,
Neb., to his father, James Foreman of
Independence, Ia., tailing him of the death
of Mrs. W. J. Foreman. The death oc
curred September's?, 1906.
The district court of Buchanan county.
at the close of the plaintiff's testimony,
directed a verdict' for the plaintiff in the
sum of $1. the cost of sending the mes
sage, which the son had paid, on the
ground that the relationship of James
Foreman to his daughter-in-law being by
affinity was not such aa to presutr.c pain
and suffering in case of failure to deliver
the message. The supreme court reversed
the case and sent it back for retrial.
Other Supreme Conrt Cases.
The supreme court today decided that
the evidence was not concluslvo that
Thomas D. Connell committed suicide, and
reversed the case of his widow against tho
Iowa State Traveling Men's association
for insurance In favor of the widow. lis
was found dead in the north part of this
city with a revolver in one hand and two
empty cartridges in the revolver. The
Traveling Men's association has a clause
against suicide. The court holds that it
U for the association to prove that he
committed suicide.
Judge Weaver of the supreme court, in
a dissenting opinion, claims that "confu
sion worse confounded" has been added to
the Interpretation of the Jaw in relation
to wills by the opinion of the majority of
the court in relation to the will of Lars
Welen of Shelby county. Welen and his
Wife each made wills bequeathing all the
property to the other. The wife died
first, and after Welen died both wills
were probated. M. J. Larson claims to be
a son of Welen, but not of Mrt. Welen.
He claims that the will to Mrs. Welen Is
during her natural life only, which would
give him a share of the estate. Tho opin
ion of the court was written by Judge
Deemer and says that the will of Welen
was absolute. The will gives her the
property to be used "precisely as I my
self might do if living," giving her the
light to sell or trade or transfer, and says
"to be used and disposed by her during
her natural life," Judge Deemer argues
that she could do nothing with the prop
erty after she was dead, and aa the will
of Welen gave her power to will H away
the property passed to her absolutely.
Judge Weaver says If this is tho Interpre
tation, there must be still more hair
splitting In the opinions of the -ourt In
the future to sustain this view.
Martha M. Chlrurg and her Russian
nobleman husband will not get any of the
Kossuth and Palo Alto county land left
by her deceased husband. His will gave
her a two-third interest In the estate. Her
mother sent her to Wellesly, Ratcllffe and
for a post-graduate course la Athens,
Greece. When she returned they moved to
Boston, Mass., and the daughter married
a. Russian nobleman. Her mother, Mra.
Abbie S. Ames, claimed he wss bogus and
the daughter then aued for her share of
the estate, claiming her mother was with
holding it becauae of not approving the
marriage. The court holds that the daugh
ter has already received her two-thirds.
Garst Spent tLa Most.
Of the candidates for the more Important
offices. Lieutenant Governor Garst speni
more money than any who have thus far
filed expense accounts with the secretary
of state. His account shows 11,177.50. Us
wss a candidate for governor on tSa re
publican ticket. Bernard Murphy, -candidate
for lieutenant governor, spent tSa.St.
Anders, the defeated candidate for the dem
ocratic nomination of congressman in the
Third district, spent t1X.3i. Dsn Hsmilton,
nominated by the democrats In the Sixth

pat candidate for elector-at-large, spent
$125 and George Whittemore. the demo

GET THE GENUINE
DeScIoira Wbolesoma-TiMrst-Qacnchins
were placed about the court house all
last night and the county auditor placed
strips of paper across the vault doors and
sealed them, tt was discovered today that
the poll books for Crocker township were
not In the vault and were nowhere to be
found. This added further complications to
the contest between Congressman Hull and
Judge Prouty for the republican nomina
tion. The contest was resumed again at i
o'clock this afternoon before ' the super
visors, who are making the official count.
At thst time Hull's majority of thirty-one
had been cut down to three. This was due
to a change of ten votes In favor of Prouty
in Story county, a change of five In his
favor in Dallas county, a gain of six votes
for him in Marlon county and the discov
ery of an error In one precinct in Polk
county, giving him seven more.
Story Is the only county that completed
the canvass yesterday. The real fight is
thought to center about Polk county's can
vass, where the real fight began at 2
o'clock, all of yesterday being spent In pre
liminaries. COMVEXTIOX OP LIQUOR DEALERS
