CASE GOES ON TRIAL
State Sues to Recover So, 600 from Br.Secre-
tary Mcfarland.
HIGHLY SENSATIONAL IN IT'S NATURE
~Anti-snloon League is ON Hand Ready
to Begin Its Crusade Against
the Drink Dispcnsnrics
of Dcs Moincs.

DIES MONIES, April 19.-tSpecial Tele-
.gram)-The famous case Of the state OF
Iowa against ex-Secretary Of state McFar-
land to recover 50 900 came on for trial
today. 4 jury was selected and the state
began the presentation OF the case, Attorney
General Rcmley representing the state. The
case is one of the most sensational ever
brought in Iowa. 1t grew out of the Ia
nous scandal connected with the %publica-
ton of the last Iowa census. which was the
talk of the town during the winter of 1896.
At that time the newspapers of the state
were filled with the stories Of cx-Secretary
of state McFarland's methods of doing some
kinds of business, particularly the compila-
ton of the Iowa census, in which he was
alleged to have mulcted large sums from
clerks who did the work and not only this,
but that during a portion of the time sew
eral clerks drew compensation as employees
in the secretary of states office as well as
census clerks.
Mcfarland asked that the case be brought
up this week, stating that he desired to
get it off his hands before he leaves for the
KlOndike region, where he is said to be
going within a week or two. A large num-
Der of witnesses have been summoned for
the state. which expects TO prove several
charges against the defendant. Most of the
Witnesses were census CLERKS, Dut q rev
which have been summoned were not. Cap
tain Landers of Webster City, clerk OF the
executive council under Mcfarland, one of
the chief witnesses before the investigation
committee, will be one of the chief witnesses
at the trial.
Superintendent Abrams of the Anti Saloon
league will arrive in the city tomorrow.
1t is expected that within twenty-four hours
the ball against the saloons will be started
rolling. a number of the members of the
league were seen this morning. They are
sanguine and declare that the Inference
given out that they have taken back water
is all bluff. They are determined and from
their talk will at once inaugurute a fight
against the saloons. 1t has been given out
by the saloon men that this fight would
not be started until a decision of the case
against Lorenz Ill, now pending in the
supreme court, is settled. There is at this
time no hope for the case being advanced
on the calendar and the league intends to
| disregard that case and go ahead with the
present one.
Papers in a big damage suit were filed
today. The Chicago, Rock Island & Pacific
railroad is made the defendant in an action
for $4,000 William f. Gordon is Che
plaintiff. He alleges that he sustained per-
sonal damages while in the employ of the
company on or about January 20, 1898, at
MinCo, Indian Territory. The original no.
tiCes were served today.

NEW LONDON, Ia, April 19.-OSpociol)-
w. IL. Jackman, proprietor OF the Jackman
house, was the victim OF a fcrgcr Monday.
who not only beat him out Of several days
board, but secured his Endorsement to a
forged check for S2775 and hastily de-
campcd. The man registered last week as
j. H.. Muir Of Omaha and claimed TO be
representing a life insurance company. lie
was i'll for a few days after his arrival and
was attended by Or. f. c. Mehlcr, whose
professional services are likewise unpaid.
Mr., Jackman's guest went to the bank with
a check for S27.75, drawn upon the First
National bank OF Burlington and purporlinE
to have been made by Copeland 4 Martin
of that city. The cashier would not honor
tt without an endorser. which Mr.. Jack
man consented to become. This occurred
just about the time the landlord was pre-
pairing to leave town for a few hours on
business. When he returned the culprit
had slipped out of town on the afternoon
train east.

Milwaukee, Groders work sunday.

SAC CITY, Ia, April 19.-CSpecial.)-The
Milwaukee Railroad company is now at
work on its proposed line from Rockwell
City via Sac City to Storm Lake. Last Sat
urday morning the company, with a force
of men and teams, began grading on the line
where the survey of the Milwaukee inter
sects the surveyed line of the Northwestern
road, about one and one-half miles north
west of town. Nor did the Milwaukee stop
for Sunday, but kept at work with an in
creased force.
The Northwestern line was first surveyed
and of course had prior rights, but the
Milwaukee was not going to be prevented
from crossing the Northwestern and there
fore while the officials were here last week
bought the land at the place where the two
lines intersect and took possession. and
possession is a good point, even in railroad
law. A official or two were
here Sunday taking in the situation and it
was rather expected that a force of North
western people would come to the scene
of action and delay or disarrange matters
somewhat and the people here rather eX-
pected to see some fun, but the expected
attack has not yet been made; all is we'll
and the work of the Milwaukee still goes on.

b. S. JOsselyn, superintendent Of the
northern lines of the Port Arthur route, ar
rived in the city yesterday from a tour of
the lines, Mr.. Josselyn's tenure of office
as general manager of the Omaha, Kansas
City Il Eastern and the Omaha q st. Louis
roads was a very brief one. Robert Gill
ham, when appointed receiver of the south
ern lines of the Port Arthur system, re-
signed as general manager of the northern
lines. His resignation has not been ac-
cepted and Mr.. JOsselyn resumes lis former
position as superintendent. All the APP
pointments made by Mr.. Josselyn on being
made general manager have been revoked,
and General Manager Gillian has issued
a circular to the effect that the organi2a-
ton of the different departments which
existed on and prior to April II, 1899, is
hereby restored. This means that G.. NJ.
Entriken will not come to Council Bluffs
as general passenger agent of the northern
lines, but for the present at least will re-
main in Omaha as assistant general freight
agent.
Unless the reorganization of the system
will effect another change in the manage
ment of the northern lines, Mr.. J~osselyn
hopes soon to be able to transfer his Of
flee force to this city from Quincy. The
offices in the Woodbury. block are all ready
for occupancy and Mr.. Josselyn has already
part of the requisite Office furniture and
stationery and other necessary supplies.

Supervisor Avery has inaugurated a sys-
tenn of cleaning and repairing at the same
time the streets paved with cedar blocks
that is being subjected to severe criticism.
His plan is to have all the dirt and refuse
matter that has collected during the winter
along the curbing aug out and scattered
over the street wherever there is a hole.
As most of the stuff dug out from the gut
ters is manure and similar refuse, the resi-
dents along the streets so treated are pro-
testing and insist hat the stuff should be
hauled away and not used to fill up holes.
They claim that as soon as the stun be-
comes dry the first wind that comes along
will blow 1t all with attending bacilli and
disease germs into their houses. Complaint
was made yesterday to Mayor Jennings, but
no steps were taken to stop the work,
although the mayor himself stated he
thought the plan was a bad one from a
sanitary view. Alderman Casper, chairman
of the streets and alleys committee, said
he thought Street Supervisor Avery's scheme
was a good and economical one. as it saved
the city the expense of hauling the dirt
away and at least temporarily filled up the
holes in the streets. The streets so far
'repaired' are Bryant and North Main.

FORT DODGE, Ia, April 19,-(Special.)-
Prof. George d. Heron delivered a lecture
here last night on the subject of TRUSTS,
Monopolies and Conscience" The lecture
abounded in the things that have come to
be known as "Herronism.' He fiercely at
tackled the existing order Of society and
indicted the entire civilization of the pres
ent day. He assailed the supreme court
and the constitution of the United States
and impugned the motives of the govern
ment in its acquisition of the Philippines.
He thinks the United States is on the verge
of a revolution, unless the public resources
and utilities are placed in the hands of the
government, which he believes will be a
panacea for public evils.
