Latest in the Burns Murder Case.

LINCOLN, H., Nov. 23.-New excite
ment was created here to-day by the
arrival of William II. Burns from St.
Elmo, in answer to kilograms reported
to have been sent him by the sheriff and
states attorney of this county. Anoth-
Ell and more startling rumor was circu-
leted to the effect that a number of resi-
dents of Fayette county accompanied
the father of the murdered girl to wreak
their vengeance on Carpenter, the ac-
cused. The idle reports, together with
the presence of several detectives and
the actions of the county officials, gave
additional color to the sensational
rumors. This evening your cores
pendent found Mr.. Burns at his hotel,
where he has been in seclusion all day.
When met he was in far more cheer
full humor than he has been since the
murder was committed. He was inter-
rogated concerning his presence in
Lincoln, and frankly said that he was
attracted here through curiosity, to as
certain what progress had been made
toward strengthening the evidence for
the state. When told that reports had
been sent from Vandalia and other
places that he was summoned here,
and came accompanied by a number of
his neighbors. he characterized such
statements as base canards, and re-
marked; you are tine first cores
pondent with whom | have talked since
left home"
The real object of Mr.. Burns pres
ence here is TO visit Clairvoyant, who
pretends to know where Zura's satchel
and contents are. He will return Sat
urday morning to his home, and will
remain until the trial, which occurs in
January. The state is working with
commendable zeal. The theory that
the girl was drugged by a physician has
been abandoned. Since Carpenters
release an intimate friend of his has
said that he can give the officials infor-
nation which will throw light on the
case and completely exonerate the ac-
cused, but refuses to do so by advice of
Carpenters attorneys. Carpenter comes
down town every day, but spends most
of his time in his private Office. Even
to his lifelong friends he is averse to
talking, and his remarkable reticence is
causing widespread comment

Railroad Notes.

Death OF Gen. Dodge.

General Augustus G. Dodge, one of
the most prominent and honored of
Iowa's citizens, died yesterday after
noon, at his home in Burlington, in that
State. He was born in st. Genevieve,
Mo-, January 2, 1912. Early in life he
emigrated to the State of Iowa, and his
life is, it may be said, history of that
State for the last fifty years. He was n
delegate in Congress when Iowa was
still a Territory. He was the first
United States Senator from Iowa after
its admission into the Union. He was
once a candidate for Governor, and at
its recent semi-centennial at Burlington
he was one of the very few persons
present whose residence in the State
covered half a century. He was the
son of Henry Dodge, who served with
great credit in the Black Hawk war, was
Governor of Wisconsin Territory, n
Delegate to Congress and a Senator
from Wisconsin from 1918 to 1855.
Subsequently he received from Presi-
dent Pierce the appointment of Minister
to Spain, an honor which he resigned.
He was a delegate also to the Chicago
Democratic National Convention of
1864, to the National Union Convention
at Philadelphia of 1866, rs well as the
New York Democratic National Con-
vention of 1868. OF late years General
Dodge has lived quietly at Burlington,
where he was greatly respected and be-
loved

The New Time.

The change of time was made on
Sunday afternoon and evening without
jar or friction, and now the clocks of
the Atlantic time-belt show the time of
the seyenty-fifth meridian. The rail-
roads issued their corrected timetables,
based on the new standards, on Mon
day. Hereafter watch that shows
New York time viii show correct rail-
way time on any road in any Eastern
State from Maine to Florida, and in this
latitude as far west as Pittsburgh.
Each time belt is about 600 miles wide
and as the difference between two sue
cessive standards is just one hour, even
the transcontinental traveller can keep
the time without disturbing his time
piece. Time-pieces in Boston have
been put back Is minutes, and in New
York, minutes. jS:0I seconds; in
Philadelphia the time is Sc seconds

'CiN ~ 10 boN htuS " CHUCK Il. III. In
San Francisco, ten o'clock a. m. in
Denver, eleven O'Clock a. m. in St.
Louis, and one p. m. in st. Johns, New
Brunswick. The trsveer will simply
have to add to the Standard time for
this city just an hour for every 10 de-
grees he moves east or deduct one hour
for every Is degrees he moves west;
then he can always tell the exact clock
time wherever he may be. An Ameri-
can bound for Europe would find his
watch exactly fivehours slow when he
arrived in London. England. 1t would
De exactly three hours fast if he went
across the continent to San Francisco.
The principles of the new system were
first suggested by Prof Dowd, of Sara
toga, N. Y, in 1869; the change itself
is due to the untiring efforts of w. +.

War Sure t0 Come.

LONDON, Nov. 23.-The Marquis
Tseng, the Chinese Ambassador, has no
tilted Earl Granville, British Foreign
Secretary, that war between France and
China is sure to occur. A Shanghai
dispatch says the North China Herald
publishes secret imperial document,
appointing Lun Generalissimo of the
black flags in Tonquin. The Chinese
Government will supply funds and mu-
nitions of war to the force now raising
in the province of Yum Nan. These
troops will assist the black flags in re-
polling the French forces should they in
wade the Southern Province of China,
but must not cross the frontier.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 23.--At the Chi
nese embassy it is said that all hopes OF
avoiding war have been abandoned.
The recent circular note of the Chinese
government is interpreted as the last APP
peal TO the civilized powers for sympa-
thy.

How Watch Cases are Made.

In 1875, thirteen men comprised the
entire working force used in the manu-
facture of the james Boss Gold Watch Case.
Now over fire hundred are employed, and the
number is constantly increasing. The rea-
son of this increase is this: In the james
Boss Gold Watch Case all the metal in sight
and subject to wear is solid gold, while there
mainder, which only lends strength to the
case, is of stronger metal than gold,
giving gold where gold is needed, and
strong, elastic metal where strength and
elasticity are needed, a combination pro-
ducing a watch case better than solid gold
and at oNE-HALF the cost. ~
Over 100000 Of these cases x q
have been sold, and every jeweler in the
country can testify TO their quality and
merit.

Legality of State Ranks.

Dies MONIES, Nov. 24.-An important
question is now before the Supreme
Court. the argument having been filed
yesterday, in which is involved the le-
gality of banks organized under the
laws of this State. The Attorney GEN
eral maintains that the statutes under
which corporations or associations, with
banking powers, whether of issue or de-
post, or saving banks, are incorporated
are null and void. and in contravention
of Article Z. Section .. of the Constitu-
ton. which requires all acts of the legis-
lature authorizing such corporations to
be submitted to the people, to be APP
proved or rejected by them. lie further
maintains that stockholders of all such
banks are subject to the same liabilities
as members of an ordinary partnership.
There are eighty State banks in Iowa.
