Fort DoDGE, Dec. 6. The indict-
ment Of ". a. Elliott, superintendent
OF the poor farm Of Pocahonta County,
by the grand jury for alleged cruelty
and malfeasance Of duty, has created

shocking abuses in the treatment of
the inmates Of the poorfarm and the
insane ward, especially the weak-mind
ed Women. Some time ago Pocahontas
county removed its insane patients
from the care of the state at the Indi-
pendence hospital and tried the exper-

board of control revealed multiplied
cases OF cruelty and recommended that

able to walk about his room and to sit
up for considerable periods at time.

Its Atlantic Terminus May Become
St. John.


MONTREAL, March 29.-Negotiations
are now being carried on in this city be-
tween officials of Intercolonial and Ca
madam Pacific railways, which are like
ly to result In a cancellation of the run
ming powers now enjoyed by the latter
over the Intercolonnial roadbed between
st. John, N. B., and Halifax, N. s. BY
reason of these powers, conferred years
ago by political DEAL the Canadian Pa
cific has been running its through trains
between Montreal and Halifax over the
Intercolonial tracks, doing the bulk Of the
business, on account of the shorter haul
without paying cent of rental, but re-
ceiving an annual subvention of $50 600
from the government for destroying the
revenue of its road. The government has
given notice that the agreement must
cease on June 80. On that date the Off
cials Of the government road want to re-
tain for their own road the large traffic
between these two points. Against this
the Canadian Pacific is making a hard
fight, and as the company wields great
political influence, it may prevent the en-
tire cancellation of the arrangement. In
the event of the government upholding
the officials of the Intercolonial in their
attitude, it will mean that the Canadian
Pacific trains will not run beyond St.
John, N. B., which will thus become it's
Atlantic terminus"
