railroad .men of Iowa today that a much

blockade the 'roads. It was recognized
that the roads are much easier stopped
now than the were a week or two ago.

Commission Makes Defense.
W. L. Eaton, th lawyer member of the
State Railroad commission, started for
California today,' where his wife will spend
the winter. He again announced that be
would not be a candidate to succeed him
self. The commission has prepared a state
ment In defense of its position in regard to
the case before 'the Interstate Commerce
commission on the live stock rates, clear
ing up some matters not before under
stood. It appears that the commission un
derstood that the action taken wlthdraw-
ng as to hog rates was Intended to be
secret, but was Inadvertently tipped off to
an attorney for the companies by one of
the members and this caused all the
trouble ' The commission, however, has
never asked for reduction on freight rates
for hogs to points outside of Iowa.

The attorney for the Men's league of

Fori Doditt Division Point T V
FORT DODGE, la., Jan. 13. (Special.) It
seems assured, as nearly as it can be with
out official announcement, that Fort Dodge
is to regain the division point of the Great
Western, which was moved to Clarion by
Stlckney. Fifty families at Clarion alone
ar preparing to move back to this city this
spring or summer. Just as son as round
house accommodations can be made here.
It is the natural arrangement for Fort
Dodge to be the division point, as it Is
almost exactly half way between .Council
Bluffs, or Omaha and Oelweln. The long
division between Chicago and Dubuque, It
is understood, will be reduced by making
Stockdale, III., the division point
It Is said that the blueprints for these
changes are out of the engineering depart
ment now and that the general offices have
them under consideration, and have secured
options on the denlred land for roundhouse

NOW TALKING. .OF BOILING
WATER AT PUBLIC SCHOOLS
I)r. tonnell and Davidson Dlsens It,
Admitting Problem Is a Lit
- tie Difficult.
' Health Commissioner Connell and Super
intendent Davidson tf the Omaha achools
have had a consultation on the need of
boiling the 'water' Which children drink
during the sessions of school. At present
all drinking water tot the1 schools I taken
directly from th hydrants. '' .
The health commissioner believes the
water should be boiled as' a' precautionary
measure, but Just' h6w this ' can be don
at, the schools Is a' puzzling . proposition.
And if a way Is' found to boil the water at
the public schools,' then It will' be up to
other public Qf' quasi-public institutions
to get busy .along' the same line.
'There Is noij an"epidemln of typhoid
fever In Omaha at this time," says the
health commissioner, "and It Is hardly
likely there will be, JSut every precaution
dictated by good sense should be taken to
guard against such, .a possibility. , For
many miles above Omaha and Florence
the river Is solidly frozen. This Is an ex
traordinary condition,, as everybody knows
la recent years, at least. With the water
low. and the river frozen we must take
steps to beat out any chance that exists
of a spread of typhoid. What cases there
are may or may" not come from the water,"

JOSLYN WINS CASTLE SUIT
District Court. Pinch Against "Clinton
Joy Sutphen. '
CASE WAS NOT BEGUN IN TIME
Millionaire Not Guilty of Any Fraud,
Says Court Snlphen Will Ap
peal and Bring: Another
Salt.
.PEKING. Jarr, 13. The story, which
originated in Shanghai yesterday and found
its way into a portion of the American
press, to the-effect that China had ad
vised Russia and Japan It would not agree
to Secretary .Knox's proposal for the neu
tralization of the , railways, of Manchuria,
Is declared here to be absolutely without
basis, ' China' has not as' yet made public
her attitude. v
"I, was ne'er able to use
my real ability to advantage
until I learned to distinguish
between what was good and
what was bad for me to eat
and drink leaving the bad
alone and using the good.
P0STUM
solved the question of what
to drink."
'There's a Reason"
George A. Joslyn is victor in the suit
In district' court brought by Clinton Joy
Sutphen for possession of the five-acra
tract on which the Joslyn "castle" stands.
The opinion of the court, which consisted
of Judges Troup, Sears and Estelle, was
read by Judge Troup, who set forth the
following findings:
There was no actual fraud in the
' procuring of the lawsuit of lb9J.
Tnere was not constructive fraud.
Judgo Ferguson erred in holding
that the rule in Shelley's case holds
In Nebraska and consequently erred
in holding that the fee to the prop
' erty lay In Dewltt Charles Butphsn
and Charles D. Sutphen and not In
the minor heirs.
Despite the fact that the fee did
1 lie In the minor heirs, the decree of
1893 in favor of Joslyn cannot be
vacated and set aside because Clin
ton Joy Sutphen has not begun his
case within one year of the time he
reached his majority, as the atatu.e
' says must be done,
Win on 111 Last Point.
It is therefore on this last point alone
that Joslyn wins at the present time, for
with the law as the three judges hold it
to be, Charles D. Sutphen could not legally
give title to Joslyn, because the title was
vested in Charles D. Sutphen's heirs.
Had Clinton Joy iSutphen begun this
present suit four years, ago he would have
won. It is this part of the decision in
which the losing side is taking most com
fort, for there is the opportunity yet to
bring an identical suit in favor of the
third child of Charles D. Sutphen, Earl
fcutphen. Ear Sutphen Is now 17 years of
age and from all appearances will have an
excellent chance to win. It is the expressed
Intention of the counsel for Clinton Joy
Sutphen to start such a suit. Meanwhile
they will appeal to the . supreme court.
In the court room at the time of reading'
the decision was' the defendant. Mr.
Joslyn listened apparently unmoved to the
whole decision even to the paragraphs
which exculputed him, Henry D. Esta
brook and D. V. Shole from - actual or
constructive fraud. Hut after th court
rose, Jaslyn said:
"I uni greatly pleased that the court
holds unanimously that there was no fraud
practiced. I don't suppose so far as the
rest of It Is concerned that this re illy
ends the litigation." John C. Cuwln and
J. J. Sullivan of defendant's oounsehwere
present as was Kdson Rich for the plain
tiff. Clinton Joy Sutphen was not at hand,
neither was W. O. Gilbert, chief counsel
for plaintiff. Mr. Gilbert has been In the
cast for some time.
CALLS-ROOSEVELT "LATE
v LAMENTED," IN'SPEECH
Politics Is Injected Into Debate on
. Destruction of Thousand Tons of
Public Documents.
WASHINGTON, Jan.,U-Polltlcs, includ
ing democratic references to former Presi
dent Rosevelt as "the, late lamented" and
"the absent one," was Injected Into a de
bate In the house today on a resolution
which was adopted providing for the de
struction of 1,000 tons of "worthless"' public
documents.
Mr. Fitzfjeraia (N. Y.) declared that in
th 1,000,000 or more pamphlets were ap
proximately 19,000 copies of messages of
former President Roosevelt, "documents,"
Mr Fitzgerald, added, "that are both illum
inating and precious and were highly prized
but a short time ago. They are message.sJ
of one who, though absent, can never be
forgotten In this august assemblage."
Replying to a suggestion that there were
many copies of President Cleveland's mes
sages' still undisturbed, Mr. Fitzgerald said
he supposed that at some time the demo
crats must have entertained the "sume sin
cere affection" for Mr. Cleveland as the
republicans' entertained for the "absent,
lamented president whose presence in Africa
is so pleasing , and his return so much
feared."
