It was on Sunday noon that Mr. g ilpsrt
ID. Bailey looking from a window of his
house ON Carleton street, saw bird
perohed on the back fence. he looked
again for at first g lance he could not be-
lieve that his eyes did not deceive hi IN.
The bird on the fence was large and
plump partridge. Mr.. Bailey rushed from
the window. A minute later he apps AIRED
at the back door with small air rifls in
his hands The gun was raised to his
shoulder. his hand was on the trigger. II
looked dutious for this partridge which
still sat on the fence. Then 1t flashed into
the mind of Mr.. Bailey that the law of
the state makes Sunday close time oil
all game. Rslunctantly he lowered the
gun ami then watched the partridge until
1t lsisurely tapped its wings and flaw
away. ''I n,ver thought Of the game
laws" sail MIR. Bailey afterwards, "until
I had almost violated them" 1t has been
susgestet that the partridge kept the
laws In mind and came into town on
Sunday because he knew that on that day
he could not bs disturbed.

SAY GEAR Is YET GAINING
Assertion of the supporters of Rivals
in the Iowa Senatorial
campaign.

DIES MONIES, Dec. 2S.-(Special. y
Friends of Senator Gear, with almost a per-
feet political organization, say they have
made decided progress during the week in
his candidacy 70 recollection. This, like
wise, applies to the candidacy of DR.. Bowen
of Allamakee county for speaker. 1t is as
serted that he has secured five votes that
were in the Eaton-Cummins camp one week
ago, while Eaton and Cummins have Sc
cured but one which the Gear friends have
recently supposed were in their column.
The interview of c. T. Hancock. former
chairman of the state central committee,
has greatly disturbed the rank and file
of the Cummins organization and has set
the stalwart republicans over the state to
thinking. Hancock lays the blame of his
defeat at the door of Cummins and states
emphatically that be himself had no ambi-
ton for the senate, but consented to run
that he might possibly represent his county
and cast a vote for Senator Allison in 1902.
A Gear supporter said today:
Il have seen it stated by a Des Moines
Cummins paper" said he, that it doesn't
look fair to have both United States SEN
ators from democratic counties, but surely
it would be much better for our state and
inspire more confidence in our citizenship
than to force upon the people as a United
States senator from a republican county one
who once bolted his party and a recent
convert from the democratic ranks in the
speakers chair from a republican county"
1t is charged that there Is a combination
among Des Moines papers in favor of Cum
Minis.
The Gear people still assert that they
have a decided majority both in the house
and senate-at least twenty-four out of
thirty-ive in the senate, with three doubt
full, and ffty-one out of eighty-one in the
house.
The speakership fight is very lively; both
sides are claiming that their man will win,
the Gear-Bowen people having decidedly
the better organization. Dr.. Bowen and
Eaton left for their homes yesterday to
spend Christmas and will not return until
the middle of next week.

Of the committee City Solicitor Wadsworth

derman Casper submitted a form of contract
practically the same as the one that Erwin
Dryer, the Chicago bidder, had consented
to accept. He insisted that a provision be
added requiring Bowman to build a plant
in this city from which the electricity was
to be furnished for the lights. This proved
a stumbling block and the meeting closed
without a form of contract being agreed
upon. The contract as drawn up by Casper
and approved by Atkins, with Johnson dis
s%enting, was referred to the city attorney
to prepare. The council will meet Tuesday
night next, when the contract will be sub
mitted for it's approval.

Fight over bridge Tax.

SIOUX CITY, Dec. 23-(Special)-An-
other legal fight has been opened up in Sioux
City over the combination bridge tax, which
was voted in 1894 by the citizens of Sioux
City to assist in the building of a bridge
over the Missouri river, This time the
bridge company has filed mandamus pro-
ceedings TO compel the county treasurer to
pay II 100000, which he has withheld. Al
ready this company hiss been paid about
1925 600, and the reason the rest has not
been turned over IS because of injunction
suits now pending TO restrain the collection
Of the tax on certain lots and lands. One case
involving this bridge tax has been to the
supreme court of Iowa, and here it was de
clared that the tax is legal and that the
people must pay it, Now other suits are
pending in which large property owners seek
to have the tax set aside on grounds not
heretofore set out in other cases,

1t developed yesterday that ]. S. Smith,
arrested Friday night on the charge of being
a fugitive from justice, is Paul Getz and
he is wanted in Denison, Ia, to answer TO
the charge Of beating a board bill and in
Chicago for the larceny of a quantity Of
clothing from a hotel. Getz is also wanted
by the Northwestern Railway company to
answer to a charge of obtaining money
under false pretenses. 1t appears that Getz
has been, in police parlance, ''stringing"
the Northwestern officials, He led them TO
believe that he could give them some reli-
able information as to the identity of the
robbers who a short while back held up
a train close to Chicago. On the strength
of his representations he secured several
sums of money and an annual pass. He
gave the company a number of tips but
when the clews were run down they were
found to have originated in Getz' fertile
brain. When taken into custody here it
was found that he had disposed of the pass.
He was turned over to Special Officer Riley
of the Northwestern Railway company, who
took him TO Denison last evening. From
there he will be taken to Chicago.

M'KlNLEY AND ROOT THE MEN
National committeeman Payne ns a
ProphCt-rrcdicts Republican
N"ominntions for I0OO.

MILWAUKEE, Wis, Dec. 2S.-That
President Mckinley will be the choice Of the
next republican national conventions; that
he will be nominated by reclamation, and
that Secretary of War Root will be his
running mate is the opinion of National
Committeeman Henry c. Payne, who re-
turned from an extended tour Of the east
today.
Mir, Payne says the feeling in the
east is strongly in favor of the nomination
of Mckinley by reclamation and that Root
is the choice Of the Washington people for
the vice presidency. Root is very highly
thought of in Washington and all through
the east, and he has the confidence of the
people in every respect. AS to whether he
also would be nominated by reclamation
is uncertain, as there may be complication
in New York sufficient to upset any such
idea.

number Of saloons and in one received the
spurious dollar in change. He decided to
pass it off on some one else and yesterday

each place it was refused and Garrigan
warned that the coin was a bogus one. The
last place he attempted to pass it was Chris
Larsen's store on South Main street, where
he rendered it in payment for . cents worth
OF meat. The police We're notified and Gar
rigan's arrest followed. When taken into
