IMPORTANT DECISION.
Judge shiras Passes on Mooted
Point in sioux City Concerning
Partnership in Bankruptcy.

Federal Judge Oliver P. Shiras, of the
Sioux City district, has announced an
important decision relating to the man
ner of bringing bankruptcy proceed
ings under the present law. The ruling
was made on the case of John L. Russell,
former member of Russell d Offel.
The petition was filed by Russell ask
ing for the adjudication of the claims
against the partnership. This the
referee granted and sent the case up
to Judge Shiras for approval. The lat
ter, in remanding it for further pro-
ceedings, calls attention to the fact
that Offel was not a signer of the petit
ton and that nothing appears to show
that he had notice of the case. Russell,
he adds, should either have asked only
for the discharge on his personal liza
bilities or for an individual release from
the partnership debts. The safest plan
would be, however, concludes the de-
cision, to give notice to Offel and have
the firm declared bankrupt.

The Sensible Apparel They VIII De
Well to Wear.

A loose, fluffy style of Embarrassing
is unsuitable for cycling. The horse
woman coils her hair firmly and neat

would be well advised to do the same.
Then she will -regardless of veils-re-
tain her trim appearance in even the

This energetic body is completing ar.

country free of duty.
Be sure your cycle is adjusted to the
correct reach. A badly adjusted ma
chine is the cause Of many ills. 1t is
a very simple matter to make sure
that you can comfortably touch the
pedals with your heels. Riding too
far will cause the leg to ache above
the knees. If in doubt about the po-
sition Of your handles give the bene-
At Of the doubt to an inch higher.
For the saddle, the reverse.
1t cannot be too often impressed up
on women that there is right and a
wrong way of hill-climbing on cycle,
and that the difference between the
two ways often means the capacity or
incapacity to ride up hill at all. 1t
is Of little use to trust to the legs
alone To lean forward and drive
down foot after foot, with labored
swayings Of the body from side to
side, is a proceeding useless as it is
ugly. The best position for hill climb
ing is good upright seat; instead of
pushing forward, pull backward from
the handle-bars, and, above all, try to
keep the pedals moving evenly. 1t is
mistake to suppose that when the
pedal has been driven down, all that
Is possible has been done. The instep
| should then be thrust forward, and the
toes kept pressed to the pedal, so as
to pull it up. A little practice will en-
able a rider to apply pressure round
the whole circuit of the pedals revolu-
ton, and the result will be uniform
driving power instead of succession
of jerks. The pull upon the handle-
bars is the necessary counteraction to
the thrust of the leg. If the body is
thrown forward also, half the strength
is wasted in preserving equilibrium.
By sitting well back, rider is able to
use all the strength Of the body, as
well as the strength Of the leg, for the
pedaling. And the rushing" of hills
is not altogether wise course. 1t al
ways sounds an easier method of get
ting over the difficulty, but as mat
ter of fact 1t generally ends in far
more violent effort, followed by far
more breathlessness, than steady
straight riding tactics. ALI of which
might really be replaced by the excel
lent advice, do not ride up hills at all.

Shall We Have Gear, or Some
Honest Man?

The Republican county convention,
made up chiefly of farmers, voted
down a resolu ton to endorse Senator
Gear for reelection to the senate,
because his devotion to the interests
OF the railroad corporations, is such as
to lead him to do an absolute injustice
to the public. Railroads have rights
that should not be destroyed: they
also have duties which they should be
as strictly required to perform, as
should individuals. In the case of the
Union Pacific the government donated
an empire of land in alternate
sections, and in addition to this
loaned the road sum ofmoney almost
equivalent to the cost Of its. construc-
ton. AS security for its payment the
United States held a mortgage upon
It's line of road, which was ample Sc
curity for the debt, principal and
accumulated interest. When the debt

Massachusetts Democrats.

The Democrats of Massachusetts
met in state convention in Boston ten
day ago and elected full delegation
to the Democratic National Conyen-
ton of 1900, instructed for the nomi-'
nation of VIM. Jennings Bryan for
president. Among the resolutions
adopted, without dissenting voice is
the pointed declaration touching the
financial question, every word of which
is potent, with truth:
Particularly do we reiterate our be-
lief in the financial plank of the Chi
cago platform. and renew our demand
for, the free and unlimited coinage of
both gold and silver at the ratio of 10
to 1. Heavy and unexpected discover
les of gold, and of new processes for
extracting that metal, together with
the other supplies, have resulted, since
1896, in an increase in the volume of
money estimated at SAL, 100000 for
the United States alone. The imme-
date revival of prices and trade ac-
companying this increase, demonstrate
ed the Democratic contention that
evils from which the nation suffered
so gravely in the five years prior to
1897 proceeded from contracted cur
rency for which Republican financial
legislation had provided no form OF re-
lief. But the benefits Ola rise in the
price level under the gold standard are
of necessity unequally and unjuStly
distributed The farmers OF the West
and South being compelled tosell their
products in the worlds markets in
competition with silver using coutries,
are condemned to low prices for what
they sell, while the rising scale of
prices at home, due partly to the in
creased volume of money, and more to
the intervention Of the trusts results
in the eXaction from them of higher
prices for all they have to buy. The
prosperity of New England rests upon
the prosperity of her customers, and
Massachusetts, in pleading the cause
of the farmers OF the West and South,
advances her own industrial interests,
and no system which decreases the in
come and increases the outgo of the
farming community can afford safe
foundation for a sound commercial
fabric.

FIFTY-FIRsT IOWA.
Will Arrive in Council Bluffs from
Manilai In Body md Will BE
Heartily Welcomed.

The mayor of Council Bluffs has is
sued the following proclamation rela-
tive to the return of the Fifty-first
Iowa:
To the Citizens of Council Bluffs-Greet-
ing: The Fifty-first Iowa regiment, which
has so greatly honored the state and ma
ton. is about to sail for home from the
Philippines They will land at San Fran
cisco the latter part of October, and will
first set foot on Iowa soil about November
/. Adjt. Gen. Byers announces that the
regiment will arrive in body in Council
Bluffs, and from this point.will proceed to
their respective homes The arrival of the
troops in this city will be the signal for
such an expression Of welcome and out
burst of patriotism as the state of Iowa has
never known. Thousands of people will
come to Council Bluffs to extend greeting
to the returning volunteers. as in all prob
ability the entire regiment will remain in
the city during the day of the arrival, and
1t will be the only opportunity of seeing and
greeting the boys before their final disper-
sion. 1t is the general desire and purpose
to make this one of the great historic days
in the annals of this grand commonwealth.
In order to prepare for this ovation and to
give royal welcome BETTING the heroic
service rendered by our boys on the field of
battle, 1t will be necessary to take imme-
date and vigorous action.

became due and the government was
seeking to obtain its payment, a
powerful railroad lobby consisting of
the shrewdest men that money could
obtain were in Washington, thronging
the halls of congress, pleading for the
discharge of the government lienupon
the road, upon partial payment of
its debt, securing its discharge for
$64, 600, 900 less than was due, the pay
ment of every cent of which justice,
equity and good conscienc required.
With this lobby working for this I'M
just REIMBURSEMENT of the just claim
of the government, was Senator John
III. Gear, of Iowa, and in the final
settlement he cast his vote in the
senate for the Union Pacific instead OF
for the government: voted to accept
from the wealthy corporation $64, OO0,-
600 less than was due, for the discharge
of its mortgage, held by the United
States. Geo. e. Roberts, in the Dcs
lLoines Meas of the 10Th of September,
in an editorial review of the senatorial
situat ton in the state, so far as repre-
sented by republican candidates for
the legislature, says:
ssHoward county held its convention
yesterday, which resulted in a victory
for Gear. DR.. e. e. Overheld, repre-
sentative from Howard county in the
last legislature, was renominated.. He
is claimed by the Gear managers, who
state that they have him on record
for their candidate"
There are yet other branches of
that system upon which the govern
ment has made large advances in
money as well as lands, and in their
settlement John III. Gear cannot be
trusted; nor is Mr.. Cummings, his
rival, any more safe and reliable, as
the servant of the people. They are
but the representatives of rival lines
of railway across the state of Iowa,
but either will vote to release the
corporation west of the Missouri, from
the full payment of the money
advanced by the government.
The situation is such that the
farmers of Howard county, unless
they are willing the corporations shall
have the United States senator, should
vote for representative who will not
favor sending representative of the
railroads to the United States Senate
from Iowa. This they have an oppor-
tunity to do in voting for one of their
own class to represent them at
Des Moines this winter, for Chas. III.
Wallace, of Saratoga.
