BREVITIES.

1t is reported that the indict-
ment of w. A. Elliott, superintendent
of the poor farm of Pocafontas County,
by the grand jury for alleged cruelty
and malfeasance of duty, has created
a sensation. The evidence before the
grand jury, it is claimed, revealed
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 it's insane patients
from the care of the state at the Indi-
pendence hospital and tried the exper-
iment of keeping them as a local
charge. The recent report of the state
board of control revealed multiplied
cases of cruelty and recommended that
the Legislature enact measures making
the maintenance of insane at state
asylums mandatory.

DEATH OF JUDGE wooLsoN.
He Had Been On the Federal District
Bench Since 1891.


Dies MONIES, Dec. 5.--John Simson
Woolson, United States district judge
for the southern district of Iowa, died
at his residence in Des Moines yester-
day, after an illness of about five
weeks. Judge Woolsons death was
unexpected up to Sunday by the at
tending physicians and the members of
the family, and was a complete sur
prise to his many friends and acquain-
tances in the city. Five weeks ago,
while holding court in KeolSull, he was
taken suddenly i'll and was compelled
to adjourn the term and return imme-
diately to his home in Des Moines. At
that time he was suffering from II
nervous breakdown, the result of
overwork. Acting on the advice of
his physician, he gave up his work and
arranged with Judge Shiras, of the
northern district of Iowa. to hold his
November. Almost from the time he
returned to DeS Moines until last
Thursday he continued to improve, and
had gotten along so well that he was
able to walk about his room and to sit
up for considerable periods at time.
Judge Woolson's home prior to his APP
pointment to the federal bench was at
Mt. Pleasant. where he was in the law
business with his brother-in-law.
Judge Walter |. Babb. He elected
to the senate from Henry county in
1876 and served that county in the
upper house of the legislature contin-
uously until 1891, when he was APP
pointed to the federal bench. He was
chairman of the senate judiciary com
mittee for a number of years and was
regarded as one of the strongest ana
most able members of the senate and
a Legislative leader practically the en-
tire term of his service.

DISEASE SPREADS.
Smallpox Reported From Lyon County
with One Death.

Dies MONIES, Dec. 9.-In an interview
DIR. Kennedy, of the board of public
health, said: "Unquestionably the
smallpox epidemic in northern Iowa is
spreading rapidly. l am in receipt OF
n telegram from Dr. Il. f. Conitf, who
has charge of the epidemic, stating
that there has been one death from the
disease at Alvord, Lyon county, and
several exposures. Besides this, l
have reason to believe that the disease
exists in Worth, and perhaps other
counties in the state, where it has not
been reported. A letter from DIR. II.
NJ. Bracken, of the Minnesota board of
health, intimates that there have been
several cases in Silver Lake township,
Worth county, which correspond with
similar cases diagnosed as smallpox in
Freedom county, just over the Mime
sofa line, but where the patients are
undergoing no restraint"

More Trouble at Mitohellville Reform
School.

Dies MONIES, Dec. 1O.-Rev. Father
Straven of Des Moines went to Mitch
ellville with pardon for one of the
girls in the institution whom he de-
sired to place in Roman Catholic
school. Superintcnd ent Miller re-
fused to turn over the girl to him.
Father Straven refused to deliver the
papers to Miller, who then had the
priest arrested by a deputy sheriff
acting as guard. Father Straven com
planned to the governor and board of
control, and Miller explains that he
had no authority to turn the girl over
to the priest; that when once pardoned
she was free, and she refused to go to
a Roman Catholic institution, saying
she would rather commit suicide. The
whole proceeding will be investigated
by the board of control.

The use of track tanks by which To-

trains may take water without stop
ping is almost universal on the larger
Eastern roads, where fast expresses are
the rule. The B. & o. r. r. has a
number between Washington and Phil
adelphia and intends to equip the en-
tire Main Line IN the future. This de-
cisior was recently arrived at through
the use of passenger locomotives,
equipped with water scoops, on fast
freight trains. 1t was found that much
time was saved, danger from stopping.
being reduced to a minimum and cost
of running lessened. The extra stops
for water take much time and the wear

matter. If the experiment on this part
of the road proves successful, track
tanks will be installed on every divi-
sion between Baltimore and Chicago.

fenced to be hanged Tuesday morn

they could find why their execution
should not take place on the date
set. Each o. the condemned men was
convicted Of murder, but Broadnax,
1t appears, was able to convince the
Governor that there were circumstan-
ces in his case that justified delay In
executing the sentence OF death for the
Governor before leaving the prison de-
cided to grant him stay Of 80 days.
The Governor declined to interfere in
Caldwell's behalf and he will be hang
ed unless the pardon board, which
meets intervenes. Broadnax was not
informed OF the stay up to 8 o'clock.

brains and saved a passenger train
from running into two derailed cars.

train coming and believed that it was
not under proper control. He sprang
into his cab, opened the throttle and
started his train. The other engine
struck the rear car, but it was not a
hard blow and Hagerty's promptness
saved ten or dozen lives.
