of Importance to the city.
In closing hla report Mr. Kimball says:
I am rlessed to report thst. as shown
by the foregoing statement, the city has
had no money Jndgmenta rendered against
It for personal Injuries or Injuries to prop

cases whkh have been settled. The settle
ment of these cases has been, in my Judg
ment, to the sdvantage of the city and for
small sums com r red with the amount In
volved in the suits. The city has had two
verdicts at the hands of a Jury and one de
cision in Its favor In which the Jury was
waived. From the foregoing it will be ob
served thst claims against the a-lty aggre
gating over tl'S.Ort) have been settled by an
expenditure of slightly over 11.100. From
this condition of the litigation of the city
It is evident that the Judgment fund will
not be drawn upon very heavily during the
next year.

(From a Staff Correspondent.)
DES MOINES. Aug. 30. Speclal Stories
of the whit slave trade that rival anything
enacted In the east. In Chicsgo or San Fran
cisco, were made public today In affidavits
by fifteen of the proprietresses of resorts
in thla city that have been placed In the
hands of officials. The affidavits were ec
cured by the police department working in
conjunction with the Iowa Humane society
and It ia proposed to lay them before the
grand Jury at once and It la expected that
many Indictments will follow.
The disclosure ot the conditions comes
through the change In the police manage
ment by the change to the commission form
of government. The affidavits charge that
the former police department waa hand In
glove with certain men of th: city, who
conducted the white slsve business.
The affidavits allege that the men lease
bouses on long time leases and then sub
lease them to the women. That the con
tracts call for (30 and 4t a month, but
that In reality they lease them for from
S2.M to 16 a day for rooms that are in the
squalid part of town and not worth more
than $1S a month. Working on the constant
threat to have them arrested and sent to
the penltentisry these men are charged in
the affidavits with selling them diamonds.
Jewelry and fancy dresses at exorbitant
prices; of keeping the glrla constantly in
debt and 'of depriving them of any street
dresses In order that they cannot leave and
reform, and that they are arrested and run
out of town if they do not do aa bidden.
Stat Fair Over With.
The state fair for 108 is over with and
the only visible evidence now consists in
a few stranded visitors to it who spent
their money and are unable to get back
home. Tlie total visitors were over 200,
000 and the totsl receipts were I1J6.09.
which is nearly $32,000 more than last
year. The railroads brought 11S.S66 peo
ple to the city on state fair excursion
tickets this year, which considerably beat
the record of last year. The state fair
grounds all day today have presented a
scene of great activity while the ex
hibitors have been leaving with their ex
hibits. The expenses for the fair this
year will amount to about 95,000, ot
which one-half will go to the exhibitors
In the way of premiums and the balance
will be for expenses In amusement fea
tures and running expenses of tho fair.
The total profits this year will be about
$40,000.
Legislators Arrive.
At noon today not more than a doxen
members of the legislature were, tn the
city. Tonight quite a number more had
joined the crowd In the lobby of the
Savery. Tomorrow It Is expected that
practically all the remaining members
will arrive to be on hand for the opening
of the session Monday afternoon at 2
o'clock. Discussion is all turning on the
question of how to arrange the primary
vote on senator ao that' the democrat
csnnot help to select the j republican can
didate. It ia conceded generally that the
organisation of the two houses as at last
session will be adopted for the permanent
organisation for this session.
Attorney General Byers said today that
there was no question In his mind but
that Representative Bergeson of Palo Alto
county would not be entitled to a seat
In the house. He served the last session,
but since then is understood to have
moved hia family to Sioux City and to
have voted at Sioux City. It Is claimed
that he will not seek' to take his aeat
and that Palo Alto county will be "rep
resented at the special session. "
MrHenry Xasne Delegates.
Judge W. H. McHenry of this city, at
the county republican convention thla af
ternoon waa authorised to select the forty
three delegates from this county to the
state judicial convention at which time he
hopea to be nominated for the supreme
bench vacancy. The delegates are, with
a few exceptions, lawyers of this city.
' Coaatr Con veatloas.
County conventions were held in every
county in the state, but two or three which
have already been held fjr the put pose of
selecting the delegates to the state conven
tion of September , when a candidate for
the supreme court to fill the vacancy
caused by the death of Judge Bishop will
be selected. On the action of the delegat e
selected today the nomination will turn.
It is believed tonight that the bulk of the
counties have riot Instructed their dele
gates to the convention though a great
many have. It ia known that many in the
Fifteenth Judicial district have Instructed
for Judge Green and it Is understood that
he will have the support ot every county
In that district
Oppoaed! by Father and Daaghter.
George William Toole, who Is serving
life Imprisonment for the murder of Mi
wife because ahe refused to go to chur.h
with him, has applied to Governor Cum
mins for a pardon and the governor baa
submitted the . mstter to the state brari
of parole for recommendation. Toole has
before this applied to the legislature for a
pardon. His father, N. B. Toole, and hli
daughter, Cora Toole, have Joined in a
letter to the governor asking that he refuse
the pardon. They claim that If parioned
he would have to com and live with them
and that they are unable to support him
further that the relatives of the dead wife
would resent the pardon and woula almost
certainly cause trouble. For there reaaons,
based on the claim that all will be better
if Toole remains wher he is, they ask the
governor t refuse the pardon.
