GOVERNOR wITnHoLDs sa75.
The Union Pacific Caused Unnsc essary
Delay,

Des Nioines, Nov. 20.-Governor Shaw
and Adjutant General Byers have de-
cided that they will withhold from the
Union Pacific $275, the amount of ex-
ira expense to which the state was put
by reason of the delay of the third Gee
ton of the train that brought the Fiji
ty-first regiment from San Francisco.
The $275 is the money that was paid
out for two meals for the soldiers
aboard the train that would not have
been required had the Union Pacific
delivered the third section in Denver
on schedule time, or had that road
consented to run the belated section
Directly east from Cheyenne to Omaha
1t was generally believed at the time
that the Rock Island was responsible
for the third section being brought
home by the way of Denver, but Cen
eral Byers, who made the contracts
with the roads and personally super
vised the return of the troops, says that
this is not the case, and in that belief
the governor pow shares. The delay
OF the third section was the result of a
wreck on the Union Pacific, but not
withstanding that it alone was respon-
sible. the Union Pacific would not run
the section east from Cheyenne and ac-
cept in payment therefor the actual
cost of performing the service. This
was the only means by which the third
section could be landed in Council
Bluffs in time to participate in the re-
ception to the regiment, and, although
the Rock Island could and would have
delivered the section in the Bluffs had
the Union Pacific delivered it to them
on schedule time, that road consented
10 allow the Union Pacific to run the
train over its road from Cheyenne pro-
Iyided the moneWabov the actual oper-
ating expenses be paid into the Rock
Islands treasury. These are the. facts
as given by the state officials who had
the business in hand, and it is because
of these facts that the Union Pacific
is to be held responsible Tor the extra
Expense to which the state was put by
reason of the delay. The state made
no contract with the Union Pacific di-
rect, all the business being done with
the Rock Island The money for the
return of the troops has not vet been
paid, but will be turned over to the
| Rock Island shortly. If the Union Pa.
cifici does not see fit to accept the
amount allowed, it can bring suit. in
which case the state will probably at
| tempt to prove damages and locate tho
responsibility. 1t was believed for a
itime that the governor would claim
damages in considerable sum, but
| that official decided in view of the safe
and happy return of the regiment, that
the state would ask only that the extra
expense incurred by the delay, be paid
by the, Union Pacific, and let the mat
ter drop there.

Error iu Tho Courts.

Burlington, Nov. 15.-The board Of
supervisors was in session Monday,
canvassing last Tuesdays ballot. In
going over the figures they discovered
that glazing error had been made in
the returns of the Fifth ward, where
127 votes We're credited to Jaeger and
LAT to Mckee, whereas the count should
have been just reversed, jaeger receiv-
ing the 147. This gives Jaeger total
of 1859 and Hawkins a total of 1886
votes, electing Jaeger to the Office with
a safe majority of thirteen votes. This
makes both the Des Moines represen-
tarives democratic.

Denison, Nov. 15.-Leslie, the 2-year-
old son of Mr.. and Mrs. Andrew Pier
son, fell into a boiler of hot water and
was so badly scalded that the child
died after few hours of great suffer-

ing and set the boiler outside the
kitchen door with the lid on and re,
turned to the house to attend to some
work inside. In very few minutes
the mother was attracted by the noise
and looked out to see only the feet
jerking above the top of the boiler.
1t had fallen in head first and its body
was entirely submerged in the hot VII
ter. The flesh on the face and hands
was literally cooked on the living
child. Death followed in a few hours.

CHlsIsTENED A BELL.
Interesting Exercises Mt the Catholic
Church at StHcyyillc.

Abba, Nov. 19.-The members of the
Catholic church at Stacyville had IL
christening of bell last Wednesday,
and the exercises We're watched and
listened to by 4 great many people. IN
the WI. of the late James AcFadden
he made provision that $500 was to
be set aside for church usage. He had
not stated for what particular thing
the money should be used, and the
reverend fathers, who have the church
under their control, thought it would be
a nice thing for the parish to have a
hell. A meeting was held and the mat
ter was definitely settled that the mon
ey should be used in the purchase OF
one of the largest and best bells that
could be made. A large tower was
erected on the south gable of the
church and there the bell will rest and
peal forth three times each day, and
twice before mass on Sunday. AT 10
O'Clock Wednesday morning the bell
was rung for the first time and the
people congregated in the church to
listen to sermon by Rev. Father
kempker, of Houghton. He dwelt up
on the subject OF the newly purchased
bell, and told the congregation it
showed an appreciation of the house
of God. He made very interesting
sermon and at its conclusion the CON
greaation filed out of the church and
to the bell, which had not been placed
in position. Then the chritening oc-
Cured aud il was much the same as the
exercises gore through when a child is
chr;stened. The candles We're lighted,
the incense was burning, and Rev.
Father Nodler, of Fairfield, rend the
first psalm with exercises and five
prayers. William z. Judge and Mi S
Kate Whnlen WEI the sponsors.
The bell was washed inside and out
with holy water. and The closing Pray
ers were made. The inscription on TX,

The Catholic church was built at
Stacyville in 1866 and 1857, and the
rock work was finished during The
early part of 1865. The rock was all
hauled from quarry about four miles
east of Georgetown. In July of 1868
lightning struck the editice and the
south wall was torn loose and fell to
the bround. II WAS stated that there
were several herd of sheep seeking shell
ter from the storm beneath The wall
and when it fell over 100 of them were
killed. The wall was rebuilt, the yard
was heau,itied with trees and sod, and
during all these years they have been
without the use of bell. The church
is one of the largest, ii not the very
largest building in the county. 1t has
recently been remodeled throughout
the interior, and now has some excel
lent pews, with large and well placed
gallery. The congregation numbers

A New Firing Machine.

A New Firing Machines
burlington fremen who have watch-
ed the marvellous advance OF me-
chanical appliances for dispensing
with labor, will read with some alarm
that Pennsylvania Central employee
at Indianapolis has devised ma
chine which Superintendent Mansfield
is sanguine will revolutionize the firing
OF locomotive engines. Its work is to
throw the coal into the fire box with
an even distribution. The fireman now
does the work with shovel, throwing
nineteen pounds to the shovel on an
average. The machine is so devised
that the engineer, by simply turning
little wheel, can place the coal in the
lire box at speed OF twenty-one cubic
inches per second. 1t is claimed that To-
connective tiremen will not be needed.
Immediate tests will be made.
Holders of Passes Exempted.
Holders of passes can no longer
stand on an equal footing with the
purchasers of straight tickets in case
they are hurt, and Bostonian has set
the pace. He decided that an employe
of railway company, who is injured
while riding on pass given him by
4
compensation for his services, could
not recover damages. The case was
that OF a baggageman against the New
York, New Haven and Hartford. The
plaintiff claimed that he was seriously
injured in wreck, and sought to recov-
er $4,000 damages. The Judge in his
decision said: "One of the conditions
on the employees pass being that the
employe expressly agrees that the com
pany shall not be liable under any cir
cumstances for any injuries of per-
son, it follows that the plaintiff
cannot recover in the present action"

pitfalls has been for years decreasing.
From 1891 to 1897, the per capita al
lowance per month was SIG. After
wards it was reduced to $14 and since
July 1, 1898, it has been $12 at the hos
pitfalls at Mt. Pleasant and Independ-
ence, and $13 at the hospital at Clar-
linda. And it will be observed from
the reports, that at neither hospital
has the per capita allowance been fully
used. It is said that no further ma
terial reduction in the cost of support
need may be expected.
"The board believes the people of
this state expect it's insane to have the
best medical skill and attention, the
best care that can be given them,
pleasant surroundings, and good die
tary, and to this end, they have con,
stantly labored, and will always main
tain the highest standard of care for
these unfortunates."
Girl school at Nlitchellville.
Much interest has been expressed as
to the recommendations of the board
for the future management of the
Mitchellville reform school for girls.
The board finds that there has been
considerable increase of population
here during the biennial period. There
are 176 girls of school age and only
two teachers to instruct them. There
is no room in which to operate addi-
tional schools. Another cottage is nee
essary. This should be provided with
kitchen, dining room, dormitories and
school rooms, and suitable for home
for little girls, SO that they may be re-
moved, SO far as possible, from the bad
influence of those older and more vi
cious. A new steam plant is also need
ed, and new bake oven.
The appropriation for the extension
of water works and for building water
closets has not yet been expended. Ar
rangements have been made to deepen
the well, with the hope of securing an
abundant supply of good water. Ref
erence is made to the various sections
of the code providing for admitting
girls to this institution, and to the bad
effect of retaining girls here until they
are 81 years of age, and it is suggested
that if it is desired to keep prostitutes
and other vile and deprayed characters
in this school, prison facilities should
be. provided.
The recent outbreak is spoken OF
and the action of the board with refer
ence to the girls. The damage to the
buildings and property of the state,
which was reported in the newspapers
as being about $4,000, has all been re-
paired for less than $500. The board
thinks, if the law is amended as sug-
gested in former chapter, there will
be little danger of an occurrence OF
such a disturbance in the future.
Superintendent Miller is exonerated
from any indiscretion or dereliction in
the matter. The cause originated be
fore his appointment, and Superintend-
ent Leonard expressed a fear tina,
there would be trouble on account OF
SO many vicious girls in the school.

c. F. Saylor, beet sugar expert of the
United States department of agricul-
ture, started last night for the Hawaii
an islands, where he will spend the en-
tire winter in investigating the posi-
bility OF the sugar industry in the is
lands. The purpose OF his visit is to
find whether or not the industry may
be further developed in the islands, or
whether it has reached its limit there.
His report will be complete and final,
and will be of immense importance.
M. L. Temple, representative-elect
from Clarke county, was in the city
yesterday receiving the congratulations
of his friends over his election to the
house, and on account of the fact that
the republicans of Clarke county did
not allow little personal disappoint-
ment over their failure to receive the
senatorial nomination when they con-
sidered themselves entitled to it, inhu-
ence them to vote against the nominee,
Senator Berry. Clarke county was, as
every one knows, loyal to him.
