DEs MONIES. Ia, Oct. pa Special Tele-
gram to Tue BEE. The trouble in the SEN
atorial district composed of Wright Hamil-
ton and Hardin counties, has reached such a
point that republican interests are jeopardized
and very bad feeling is being aroused, which
may last some time. There are two repub-
lican candidates, each claiming to be the regu-
lar nominee The friends of each one are
making very bitter dght against the others.
All efforts at compromise have so far failed,
but au attempt is now being made by Mr.. r.
S. Ellsworth, of Iowa Falls, one of the can
didates, which may prove successful. He
has offered to submit the controversy TO the
executive committee of the republican state
central committee, or to the following well
known republicans, Senator Allison, Gov
ernor Larrabee, Congressman Henderson,
ex-Congress Wilson, Of Tama county.
and Chairman Pray, OF the state central
committee, for them to decide which is the
rightful candidate, and the other to with
draw from the field. MIR. Ellsworth has
written to his opponent Mr.. W. G. Smith,
of Eagle Grove, making this offer, and it is
hoped by republicans generally that the offer
will be accepted.

The Pacific short Line.

Sioux CRY, a., Oct 22.-lSpecial to THE
BEE. The funds for the construction of the
second section OF the Pacific Short Line,
from Plainview to O'Neill, Neb., have been
secured and the work is now being prose-
cuted. The tracking of the section already
graded and bridged, from Covington to
Plainview, is now just beginning The real
cause OF the two months delay has been the
death of the late Samuel L. M. Barlow, the
millionaire lawyer of New York, who was
not only himself a heavy subscriber to the
Pacific Short Line, but also represented a
wealthy syndicate of New Yark and German
capitalists. He died after au illness of
only twenty -four hours, and the very day OF
his death mad been appointed for the formal
transfer of cash to complete arrangements
for the construction of the second section of
the road. So slowly do such matters move
in New York that it is only just now that all
the formulities, dlsjolnted by Mr.. Bariow's
death, have been completed. 1t has been only
an aggravating delay, not a disruption of
the plans of the syndicate back Of the scheme,
which has not relaxed its purpose to build
through to Ogden, but which could not be
hurried along to keep pace with the western
way of doing things.

Ida May Wilcox Married.

There was modest little wedding
this afternoon at the house of Carlos
Wilcox, the happy denouement of a
most unhappy little romance, of which
the bride is the heroine, says Mime
apolis dispatch. Her name is Ida May
Wilcox and her husband is Henry l.
Mylius, of Genoa, Italy. The adven-
lures of this young Minneapolis girl
have been the newspaper talk of Paris
and New York. Four months ago a
cablegram from New York brought
the news of an alleged elopement
of a young American girl
from Genoa. The only public
answer ever made to the story was the
announcement that Ida Wilcox was
coming home tp,be married. Her future
husband was atrGenoa at the time the
story first became public. He Is a man
of thirty-foursthe eldest OF three broth
ers who are the proprietors of several
banks in Michigan. Mr.. Mylius' nome
isin Genoa, Italy. His parents are
there now, and to-day, when the core-
mony took place, they, with the peas

A RAP AT BOOTH.
Joe Howard Says New York Don't
Think Much Of Him.

Joe Howard Says New York Don't
Think Much OF Him.
New York dOesn 't'take much stock In
Booth, writes Joe Howard.
Not that Booth hasn't Il certain grade
of ability, but he is sOinfernally lazy and
careless that people are very tired. A
Hamlet is not particu-
larly attractive. and a grand d-maternal
Ophelia or Desdemona or Rosalind can
not be expected, in face or figure, to
duplicate the picture of the imagina-
tion. Nevertheless there is magic in
the name of Booth. Very old tuners
remember the great Booth, and as
they look at his performances through
the telescope of memory his virtues are
lnagnilied, while his shortcomings are
forgotten. Then, too, as Jay
Gould said the other day in an
interview, as the mere mentioning
of name day after day, day after day, {,
is the making of the man who wears it,
it will be remembered that, after the
praises of the elder Booth were sung
came the denunciatory curses of Booth
the assassin, and-strange as IL may
seem to people who don't look beneath
the surface, but commonplace and act
ual as it must seem to any careful reader
of atfairs-the reiteration OF the name,
even in that connection, made it still
more familiar and still more potent as
an advertising attraction. Then, too,
Junius Brutus Booth, the husband OF
Agnes Booth, was factor up to a cer-
tain line, and the magic of the Booth
name SO far as Agnes Booth is. con-
cerned will never be denied by her ad-
mirerS in the east and in the west, or
in the metropolis itself.

vent their playing with any other team.
Sralding is emphatic, has half u dozen at

ceived in their mail this morning
notice couched in legal terms
to the effect that a contract
is awaiting their signature under the
eighteenth section of their last years argree-
ment which gives President Spalding the
right to reserve them for the season.
1t is reported that in anticipation of just
such n movement on the part of the brother
hood men as has occurred, that President
Spalding is engaging another lot of players.
He is said to have already secured PITCHER,

live IN the city caused her to attempt self
destruction.
