Miss Emma Oliphant has begun suit
in Cedar Rapids against C. Z. Clark, of
Liddle & Carter, for $4,000 damages al
legged to have been sustained by reason
of Clark having tried to eject her from
the firms overall factory. The plaintiff
is colored girl, and recently when the
factory needed additional help the firm
hired her to secure for them table of
colored girls to work in the establish
ment. Miss Oliphant secured the girls
and they were put to work. The white
girls of the factroy then threatened to
strike if the colored girls were permit
ted to work, and the firm could not dis
charge or lose 20 skilled employees to
hire seven unskilled, and was compelled
to let the colored girls go. Miss Oil
plant then put in bill for five dollars
for services in securing the colored girls
for the firm and the firm refused to pay
it. In an alteration she alleges the

PEARL BUTTONS.
Cedar River Clam Shells Responsible
for Factory.

for Factory.
Cedar Rapids will have pearl button
factory. Abuilding has been leased and
machinery ordered. A company with
$4,000 capital is being organized by f.
Stewart and others. A large bed of
clans has been found up the river near
the yellow banks and already great
many have been hauled to the factory.
Sixteen men are at work finding the
CLAIMS. They work in pairs, one finding
and the other cleaning, and are paid rs
cents hundred for sand CLAIMS and 40
cents hundred for mud clans. The
average number of pounds is 500 day.
Already about ten tons have been ex-
amined and accepted. 1t is estimated
that so tons will be needed for the win
ter. After the factory is started it is
thought 12 adults and as many children
will be employed constantly, and it is
expected that from 500 to 1000 gross
a week will be turned out.

NOvAK'S CASE GOES OVER.
Continuance Granted, But No Change
of Venue Is Asked.

Tom II. Miner, the attorney for
Frank A. Novak, the man who is
charged with the murder of Edward
Murray at Walford last February, ap-
peared in court at Vinton and filed a
motion for continuance of the case to
the November term, setting forth that
he had not yet had time to make
preparation for the trial. County At
torney Tobin made no objection to a
continuance and it was granted. There
has been considerable speculation as to
whether Novak's attorney would ask
for a change of venue to some other
county. The fact that continuance
has been asked for and granted would
indicate that no change of venue would
be requested.

The trial of Miss Anna Hammer at
Red Oak on charge of forgery abrupt
ly terminated by the discharge of the
prisoner. Judge Greene took the case
in his own hands after the jury had
failed to agree and declared the evidence
insufficient to convict. 1t is now con-
ceded that the bank at Elliott was inn
posed upon by some clever adventures
who made up to impersonate Miss Han
ner. Miss Hammer says she will sue the
bank for $50,O0O damages.

THE STATE UNIVERSITY.
Large Number of Students Enrolled
A Rush to BE Investigated.

The number of students already en-
rolled in the State university at Iowa
City is somewhat in excess of the num-
ber at the same time a year ago, so
there is certainly going to be an in
crease over the total for last year, which
reached 1881. Laboratories and reci-
tation-rooms seem to be generally well
filed; in some cases too full, as, for ex-
ample, it has been found to be impos-
sible to accommodate all of the students
who applied for places in the biological
laboratory, and about 20 were refused
admission.
Freshmen and sophomores engaged in
a rush the other day. Eight hundred,
including a large number of upper
classmen and town boys took part.
Marshal Chairman tried to stop it, but
was knocked down and thrown off the
grounds. The faculty will investigate.

DYNAMITE EXPLOSION.
MontOur Shaken Up, But No One Was
Seriously Injured.

Seriously Injured.
A terrific explosion of dynamite oc-
CURED at Montour in w. A. Downs ma
chine shop. A pound of the deadly eX-
plosive fell from shelf and in the crash
which followed almost the entire in.
terror of the shop was wrecked.
Pumps and pipes and machinery were
broken into fragments and the build
ing itself badly damaged. Windows in
adjoining buildings were broken and
the whole town shaken. Fortunately
no one was badly injured, though one
man. in a small building near by was
shaken up. A strange thing in con-
nection with the accident is the fact
that there were IS pounds of dynamite
within few feet of the accident which
failed, fortunately, to explode. 1t is
thought that the deadly explosive was
Jared from the shelf by a passing
train.

Inst Cron RuIletin.

The last report for the season of the
state weather and crop service shows:
AS whole the corn crop is remarkably
large and sound in view of the fact that the
season was exceedingly unfavorable dur
ing the time of planting and cultivating,
and since that time the temperature has
been fitful and intermittent. Probably GO
per cent. of the total yield will be sound
and merchantable, and the balance will
possess considerable feeding value. The
roundup of the season will show that
the soil products of the state have been
abundant and greatly in excess of home
requirements.

Des Moines, Ia, Oct. A joint asso-

Settlers association and the Iowa In
stitute of Science and Arts which will
rear monument upon the grave of
Julian Dubuque. This is upon the top
OF majestic bluff mile below Du-
buque and overlooking the Mississippi.
Dubuque's claim to honor rests on
the fact that he settled in Dubuque in
17SS, examined the lead mines, married
Peosta, the daughter of an Indian
chief (another legend is that Peosts
was an Indian chief and that "Debuc"
married his daughter, and third is
that he died bachelor), and that in
September, 1888, council of rox In
dians assembled at Prairie du Chen
gave him the right to mine over tract

THE CIGARETTE LAW.
A New York Firm Says the Iowa
Measure Is Invalid.

F. w. 'Youngerman, of Des Moines,
has received an interesting letter from
the secretary of the American Tobacco
company, of New York, in which that
firm makes the claim that the new
cigarette law, which went into effect
October 1, is void and invalid, in that it
simply provides further penalties to
the old law, which was held to be in
valid by the United States circuit court.
The tobacco company says that it has
consulted eminent counsel and found
that mo end of additional penalties can
give life to void law"

THE HARRISON BILL.
New Provision Eliminating the Union Paci-
fc as Foreclosure Is Confined to
the Central Pacific.


WASHINGTON, D. c., Jan. 2S.-After
being so amended thatit should not inter
fere with the foreclosure proceedings
which the Government has instituted
against the Union Pacific Railroad the
Harrison bill to settle the inde b edness of
the Pacific railways to the Government by
a commission consisting of the Secretary
of the Treasury, the Secretary of the In
terror and the Acknowledgement was con-
sidered at the meeting to-day of the sub
committee of the Pacific Railroad Com
mittee and ordered reported favorably TO
the full committee.
The bill provides that the Government
shall still control the rates of fare and
transportation; that the com mission shall
report their action one year from the pas
sage of the bill, and gives the com ission
full power to settle the debtedness of
one or all the bonded railroads to the Gov
ernment.
There was a provision engrafted on the
bill to-day eliminatin the Union Pacific
Railroad from the commission, because
the foreclosure proceedings limits the COM
mission TO the Indebtedness of the Cen
trail Pacific, the branch line extending
from Atchison, kas., 100 miles west, ana
the Sioux City and Pacific.
The bill will be laid before the full COM
mittee at special session to be held on
Saturday, and Judging from the opinions
expressed at the previous meeting OF the
committee it is not unlikely that favor
able report will be ordered. In this event
Speaker Reed will be asked to set the time
for its consideration. The fate of the bill
is uncertain. Those who are most deeply
interested in it expressed Discrimination
to speculate upon the chances OF its
passage.
