LABOR MAKES A HARD FIGHT
Expects to Be Able to Defeat the Railroad
Legislation.
SENATE is ALMOST EQUALLY DIVIDED
Great Struggle over the Temple
Amendment Limiting the Liability
of the Companies for In
jurics to Employees.

DES MONIES, March 6.-(Special Tele-
gram.)-The Temple amendment fight is get
ting hotter than ever in the legislature.
The labor organizations of the state are
taking up the fight for the measure and
joining their petitions to those of the rail-
road brotherhoods. The Des Moines Trades
Assembly, which includes representatives Of
all the labor unions in the city, has called
meeting at which the matter will be
taken up and resolutions adopted The Off
GERS are also writing to similar declarations
all over the state to send in their petit
tions.
In the senate, where the measure Is now
pending, 1t is said that the vote will be
so close that tie is very possible A list
of the senator's, as nearly as it could be had
today, showed twentysfour votes for the
amendment and twenty-four against 1t,
with two doubtful. The representatives of
the brotherhoods claim to have ffty-two
votes pledged for the measure, but can
not name the members who will vote for
them.
The Chicago, Burlington & Quincy rail-
road, which is making the fight against the
amendment, is keeping a strong lobby dill
gently at work The democratic senator's, of
whom there are only seven, are opposed to
the amendment and the story in senate cir
cles in that they propose to defeat the meas
ure If they can and then make political
capital out of the fact that a republican
legislature showed itself inimical to labor
organizations by refusing to pass the
measure.
The new revenue bill has been made a
special order in the senate for next Wednes-
day, and the fight of the session will then

DANGER IN SODA,
Serious Results Sometimes Follow
Its Excessive Use.

Common soda Is all right IN its place and
indispensable in the kitchen and for cook
ing and washing purposes, but II was never
intended for medicine, and people who use
1t as such will some day regret 1t.
We refer to the common use of soda TO
relieve heartburn or sour stomach. habit
which thousands of people practice almost
daily. and one which is fraught with danger;
moreover, the soda only gives temporary re-
lief and in the end the stomach trouble gets
worse and worse.
The soda acts as a mechanical irrltant to
the walls of the stomach and bowels and
cases are on record where 1t accumulated in
the intestines, causing death by innamma-
tion or peritonitis.
DR.. Harlandson recommends as the safest
and surest cure for sour stomach (acid dys-
pepsia) an excellent preparation sold by
druggists under the name of Stuart's Dys-
pepsia Tablets. These tablets are large 20
grain lozenges, very pleasant to taste and
contain the natural acids, peptones and di-
gcstive elements essential to good Digestion
and when taken after meals they digest tho
time to ferment, sour and poison the blood
and nervous system.
Dr. Wuerth states that he invariably uses
Stuarts Dyspepsia Tablets in all cases of
stomach arrangements and finds them a GER
tain cure not only for sour stomach, but by
healthy appetite, increase flesh and strength
en- the action of the heart and liver. They
are not a Cathartic, but intended only for
stomach disease and weakness. and will be
found reliable In any stomach trouble ex-
cept cancer OF the stomach.

HendinrOG the Measles.

Special Health Officer McCrary, appointed
on Friday evening to look after the numerous
victims Of the measles from the Pierce Street
school, put in the entire day yesterday max
ing a house to house canvass. He is re
ported to have found number OF cases that
had not been reported, as the law requires,
but the report made to the mayor was not
made public last evening. The prospects
for a serious epidemic were not quite so
good yesterday, only four new cases being
reported, against eleven on the previous day.
The belief, however, is prevalent that but
few children in that portion of the city, who
have not had the disease, will escape 1t, for
1t has been most thoroughly scattered.
In accordance with the orders OF the Board
of Health yesterday the Pierce street school
building was thoroughly fumigated. The
disinfectants used were those provided by
the state board and consisted chiefly of sui
phur.
The new cases reported yesterday were:

Bill Fails on n Technically.

CHEYENNE, Wyo., March 6.-(Special.)-
1t has been discovered that the bill passed
by the recent legislature to regulate the
conduct of building ana loan associations
in this state cannot become a law. The bill
was duly passed by both branches of the
legislature and taken to the governor for
signature on the last day of the session
After the legislature adjourned, when the
governor came to examine the bill. he found
that it had not been signed by the speaker
of the house, and as this is a constitutional
requirement the bill cannot become law.
The bill was designed to keep irresponsi-
BILE associations from transacting business
in Wyoming and was drawn with great care
by those interested in local associations.
The failure to have the speakers signature
is due to the inadvertence of Senator Will
liams, who was chairman of the enrolling
committee

PARTIES ARE BADLY SPLIT
Both Democrats and Republicans Oppose
Party Nominees.
HARD CONTEST FOR THE SCHOOL BOARD
william Moore and Jacob Sims Are
Receiving Much Outside support
Australian Ballot Will
Not BE Used.

The indications are that one OF the hardest
fought school elections in the recent history
of the city will occur tomorrow. There are
SO many antagonistc interests involved that
fight of large proportions has resulted.
Many OF the democrats are opposing their
party nominees, and an even greater number
of republicans will do the same thing. There
is no particular reason for this opposition,
and it can only be traced to the personal
differences that grew out of the strong fac
tional fight over the election of the superin-
tendent of schools last summer Although
it is generally believed that the result of the
election on Monday will determine whether
or not this factional fight shall again be
reopened there is really little ground for
the belief. 1t the democrats should elect
both of their men they will still be one
short Of majority in the board, and conse-
quently unable to make any change in the
school superintendency, and If one repub-
lican and one democrat are elected they will
be still further away from power. The
withdrawal of A. Whiteaw, nominated by
the democrats, made 1t necessary for the
party leaders to get some other strong man,
and they naturally turned to William Moore,
who consented to make the race only after
the most persistent urging. He served one
term with honor to himself and credit to his
party and got all the experience he wanted.
Nc amount of urging could induce him to
consent to take the vacant place on his
party ticket until his former colleague, w. II.
Thomas, Joined in the request. His reluc-
tance to run will not give him his full party
strength. but this weakness will be more
than compensated by the aid he will receive
from republicans who have selected as their
candidates, Moore and Jacob Sims, the second
republican candidate. They freely predict
their choice of candidates indicates the result
of the election
There is no just reason why DR.. Snyder, the
other republican candidate, should be slaugh-
tered, for he has made an excellent. though
somewhat aggressive member of the board
HIS attitude on several matters connected
with the public schools will cause a number
OF democrats to vote for him, and his friends
hcpe that this will fully compensate. for the
loss of the republicans who are opposing
him.
Mr. Tyrell, the other democatic candi-
date is new man iri the city, and is COM
paratively unknown. although he is said to
ne an old school teacher. amply qualified for
the duties of a member of the board. There
is no party objection to him, and he will
poil the tull party strength.
A careful review of the situation last night
indicated that there was a great probability
OF the republicans electing both of their
men. The Australian ballot will not be
used. and the voting will be easy and sim
pie, like 1t used to be-

Sues the Rank,s Receiver.

the appointment was on request of a creditor.

TROLLEY WIRE THIEF ACQUITTED.
Joseph Buck Gets Free for Lack of
AdmissibIe Evidence.

Joseph Buck Gets Free for Lack of
Admissible Evidence.
Joseph Buck, arrested as the chief Of
fender in the raid upon the motor COM
pany's property in the driving park. was
discharged and eXonerated in Justice Vien's
court yesterday. The result was accom-
plished partly by the application of a some
what novel theory, and chiefly by the fact
that the evidence submitted by the state
was confined to the confession of Stamey
and Bates, the two boys first arrested. The
Iowa criminal law does not recognize the
confessions of criminals duplicating each
other as being good evidence, and it Is only
admissible where 1t is corroborated by other
testimony. The novel theory was evolved
by the attorney employed by Buck. He
moved for the discharge Of his client upon
the grounds that the information was de-
tectiVe and that the crime charged against
him' even II true, was not one recognized
by the criminal code. His theory was that
the stolen trolley wire was not personal
property, but realty, which could not be
stolen. 1t was not on the earth where 1t
could be picked up and carried away, but
was attached to poles planted in the ground.
and this made the property realty. The
court, however, held that if it was realty
while suspended in the air the thieves
would have to show that they had wings
or used balloon in cutting ii down and
carrying 1t away without permitting IL to
touch the earth, for when 1t came into con-
tact with the earth it became personal prop
erty. To tear Ii down constituted mali
cious mischief; to carry it away after it
was down made 1t larceny. The theory of
the attorney helped to increase the weak
ness OF the states case, and the wide yari-
ance of the stories told by the boys left
the court no other course than to discharge
the prisoner.

gram I'm the house resolution was pre-
sented ordering an inquiry into the defalca-
tion of State Treasurer Rankin some fourteen
years ago. to ascertain how much the Ag-
ricultural funds lost by it, and whether the
state has reimbursed the institution. A dis
cussion of how to prevent members absentng
themselves from sessions ended in the decla-
ration of the speaker that the sergeant at
arms would hereafter be required to enforce
attendance of members. A motion to deny
pay for sessions not attended was held out
of order, as the law fixes salaries. Merriam
and Porter were named as house memberc
of the committee to investigate state nsti,
tutions. The geological survey and drainage
and levee bills were passed.
The senate devoted the forenoon in the
main to fixing salaries of county clerks. 1t
took a long discussion and all kinds of test
votes. The agreement is that for the smallest
Counties of 0,000 or less, the salary shall
be fixed by the supervisors, not exceeding
81 100. From this it shall be 500 moro for
each additional 5000 population, up to coun-

CHARGE OF COERCING EMPLOYEES


Grand Jury Inufcts d. ID. STOCKTON oil
Clifton Coal Mines.
DES MONIES, March 6.-(Special Tele-
gram.)-J. D. Stockton was indicted by the
grand jury on a charge of coercion Of en-
ployes. He is manager Of the mines of the
Clifton Coal company and the charge is that
he compelled employees of the mines to buy
their goods at the company's store. The
testimony before the jury was that he told
miners they must buy their goods at the
truck store, and if they failed to do so they
were discharged. The miners brought the
complaint, and it was investigated at much
length. The company has been for some time
suspected of evading the state law by oper
ating a store and practically forcing en-
ployes to patroniZe it. Other mines in the
vicinity are under the same suspicion, and
the miners propose to expose the system.
Tho state law makes the offense punishable
by fine, Imprisonment in jail or penitentary,
but very few cases have ever been carried
to the point of conviction.
