Extor,,op Cnscs dismissed.

SIOUX CITY, Ia, Nov. 8O.-(SpecIaI TeIe-
gram THE extortion cases Of the members
of the Grain Dealers Association of North
west Iowa against the Chicago, Milwaukee &
st. Paul Railway company, involving several
hundred thousand dollars, have been settled
out of the federal court, whore they have
been pending for nearly two years. This will
probably mean the dismissal of the cases
against the other railways in this section of
Iowa all of which involve nearly 81 900 OO0
The various defendants have come to the
conclusion that 1t costs too much to litigate
the questions and the Milwaukee cases have
been dismissed. Il is probable that the Inter
state Commerce commission will be appealed
to for lower rate on grain.

Tho descriptions that arc given out Of the

Worlds fair at Chicago. The group will

Already most Of the states in that wide
region. including some of the mountain
states, have appropriations at the hands of
their legislatures for state buildings and
exhibits on the Omaha fair grounds. Calf
fornia would gladly follow the example thus
set had the last legislature done it's duty.
But this state should not for that reason de-
spair Of being fully represented.
Thousands Of recent settlers In southern
California are from the states in the Mis-

Crnyy Horse Killed.

The question whether loco weed has gained
a foothold in this vicinity and is being mixed
with the hay that is sold on the market
was again brought forcibly to the attention
of the officials yesterday when the porud-
master was clllei upon to kill horse that
had been attacked by the malady that has
caused many deaths among the horses.
The owner of the animal has not yet been
found. 1t was a fine looking young bay
mare and had evidently broken from its
stable, as a short piece of halter was still at
tached The animal appeared to be insane
and was suffering from frightfu convulsions.
1t suddenly appeared in the vicinity of the
trlnsfer, where it went through the yard
fences that protected a number OF lawns.
Women aud children were greatly frightened
by the charges of the desperate animal as 1t
came crashing through fences and running
into houses. Poundmaster DobsOn was sent
for and found the horse endeavoring to break
through the side of a wo9dshed. 1t was
found TO be almost impossible to lend the
suffering creature and great deal of trouble
was experienced in getting 1t to the city
pound, where its miseries were ended by a
revolver bullet. postmortem examination
will probably be held on the horse that was
killed yesterday.

OPENING OF THE CHICKEN SHOW
Excellent Collection of Poultry of All
Varieties.

The chicken show opened yesterday after
noon, with over 300 entries and prospects,
for another 100 today. The exhibit covers
three floors Of the building where it is being
held. The entries come from well known
fanclers within a much larger territory than
ever before, and covers the entire western
part OF the state and eastern Nebraska. The
Nebraska breeders Of fine poultry are better
represented than at any previous exhibit.
The local fanciers are not as well repre-
sented as they we're last year owing TO the
fact that chicken diseases had invaded the
pens OF some Of the largest breeders, and II
was not deemed safe 10 bring any Of their
birds to the show, for fear Of communicating
others. Altogether 1t is one OF the best ex-
hibits the association has ever made
The lower floor is devoted to the coops Of
the hnest prize birds and Instead OF the
usual pairs each pen has a family OF sew
eral members. One OF the greatest objects
OF interest TO all Of the visitors Is County
Auditor Matthews strange fowl, which he
calls his "popocrat." II Is a cross between
a guinea fowl and white Plymouth Rock,
with the distinctive characteristics OF both
even to the voice. which has about four times
the volume OF the ordinary guinea bird, and
is mixture OF the cackle OF the happy
biddy and the monotonous tones OF the Afri-
can fowl. II Is the first cross OF the kind
on record
The second floor houses the greater portion
OF the FairmOunt park ZOO. and all OF the
fancy ducks, geese, pigeons snd pets. The
third floor will be used today for the ex-
hibtion Of all OF the fancy breeds OF pgeone.

10 is The first time In the history OF the

sued are about the same as followed by the
regular state examining beard which meets

GONE TO HER REST.
Death of Mrs. Rosa Mathews on
SATURDAY. Last.

Mrs. Rosa Mathews, relict of the late
Amos Mathews and daughter of the
late Tan" Woods, died in this city on
Saturday evening at the residence of
her mother, Mrs. Emily Woods, 617
Fifteenth street.
Mrs Mathews passed her early girl
hood and married life in this city The
loss of her gentle presence will be felt
by everyone who came in contact with
her, but more than all by those who
daily ministered to her comfort. She
was a Past Worthy Matron of Mar
shall Chapter, o. E. s, and in her
death the order loses one who had ever
tried to advance its interests.
Hers was a beautiful influence, which
has not ended, but will deepen as the
years roll on. Her patience. her cheer
fulness, her ready sympathy and low
ing tenderness for those in trouble has
made the burden lighter to many sor-
rowing heart. She leaves a mother,
four sisters and an only son to mourn
her loss
Friends and acquaintances may view
the remains To-day from 1870 a. m. to
II m. The interment will be private
