Smallpox has appeared at Redfeld,

1t is learned that the company OPP
Grating the wooden mills at Maquoketa
has decided to close the same and offer
the machinery for sale. The mill is
an old institution and has long been
noted for its excellent work. Improv-
ed machinery of the later and larger
mills has left it without profit for
several years, and the stockholders
have decided to quit.
A body found few days ago
along the Milwaukee road, at the end
of the bridge near Sabula, was iden-
tilted as the remains of ]. L. Smith, of

murdered by some criminal he was
pursuing, as he was a member Of the

Agreement Regarding China Has Been
Reduced to Definite Notes.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 25.-The success
of the negotiations instituted by Sec
Rotary Hay with view Of insuring the
"open door" for American trade in
China. may now be regarded as assur-
ed. The last phase Of the negotiations
was the reduction of the arrangements
reached informally to the shape of
what are known as definite notes.
This work has been going on for some
weeks, with the result that every one
of the powers that participated in the
negotiations has returned to the state
department the written agreement,
with the exception Of Japan and Italy.
There Is not the slightest doubt in
these cases, for Japan was one Of the
first Of the nations approached by the
United State 10 welcome our overtures,
while Italy voluntarily entered the
negotiation without waiting for ad-
vances from the United States. The
non-receipt of their formal undertake
ings Is believed to be due to delay in
the mails, for intimations have been
given to the effect that they have al
ready been dispatched.

THE NEWS In IOWA
THE IOWA FALLc RAILROAD.

This Year.

Looks Now As Though 1t WIN BE Built
This Year.
DIES MONIES, Jan. 2S.-A meeting Of
the executive board of the Des Moines,
Iowa Falls & Northern road was held
In Iowa Falls at which it was reported
that President Ellsworth has tele-
graphed that he completed arrange
ments for financing the road and that
funds will be at the disposal of the
company this season for the construc-
ton of the road from Des Moines to
Iowa Falls. The board decided to
make another survey and engineers
will be placed in the field at once to
run a second line to Iowa Falls, the
first survey not proving satisfactory.
The first survey passes through Cam
bridge, on the Milwaukee; Nevada, on
the Northwestern; McCallsburg, on
the Iowa Central, and Hubbard, on
the Northwestern. tits intended that
the second line shall pass east of Hub
bard, and through the towns of Gear
ing, Colo and Maxwell. 1t is thought
that on this route easier grades and
lighter work will be encountered and
there will be no increase in the mile
age. Speculation continues as to the
backing this company has. In some
quarters it is regarded as an Illinois
Central line, but generally this is not
believed and the impression prevails,
because Of Ellsworth's connection with
the project, that it is Burlington, Ce-
dar Rapids & Northern project Els
worth is a director OF the latter road
and one of the incorporators of tn Q
company that built its Iowa Falls d.
vision. He is the senior member of
Ellsworth & Jones, brokers of Boston
and New York, commanding q great
deal Of capital and for a number of
years has been one Of the most success
full promoters In Iowa. His connec-
ton with the road and the fact that
considerable money and care are being
expended in securing a survey. lends
to the impress sion that there is good
reason to believe the road will be
built

Dies MONIES, Jan. 2G.-In the case of
John Herriott, state treasurer, appel
liant, VS.. Seldom Bacon, executor of es-
tate of Sarah F. Ransom, from the
johnson county district court, the
opinion of the lower court has been
reversed by the supreme court. The
estate paid an inheritance tax on all
requests TO collateral heirs less 81 900,
and the treasurer brought action to
recover the tax on the 81 900 deducted.
His view is sustained by the supreme
court, which holds that "the intention
Of the legislature must have been to
exempt all estates Of less value than
81 600, and when exceeding in value
such sum all property passing to col
lateral heirs should be subject to the
inheritance tax"

Prior to 1872 the worlds produc-
ton OF beet sugar had never reached
100000 tons; in the present year 1t
Is, according to latest estimates. $780,
600 tons, while the cane sugar crop,
which in 1872 was 1899 900 tons, Is in
the present year 1904. 900 tons. Thus
dane-sugar production has scarcely
doubled during the period under con-
federation. while that from beets has
more than quintupled. Meantime the
price has fallen more than one-half,
the average cost in foreign countries OF
all sugar imported into the United
States In the fiscal year 1872 being 2.37
cents per pound. and in 1899 2.39 cents
per pound. No instance Of the worlds
production Of foodstuffs has been more
rapid or striking than that with refer
ence to beet sugar. In 1876 the total
beet-sugar crop OF the world was but
ls2. 900 tons; in 1885 1t was 2,545, 900
tons; in 1915, 4,792,793 tons, and in
lS99-1900, $4,000 tons. In 1855
beet sugar formed 10 per cent of the
worlds total sugar crop, and in 1899
1900 1t formed 66 per cent Thus the
sugar-producing area Of the world has
in less than a half-century been shifted
from the tropics northward. and the
farmer OF the temperate zone, through
the aid of science In the remarkable
improvement Of a plant, has success
fully competed with the low-priced
labor OF the tropics and has also re-
duced by One-halt the cost of the a.
ticle produced.

Kiiian seibel Addresses the Commercial
Exchange About Them.
Dies MOI.Es, Jan 25.-Kilian Seibel,
representing the company which pro-
jects the erection Of a battery of coke
ovens in Des Moines, addressed large
~ attended meeting of the Commercial
Exchange with reference to the pro-
iect. The company proposes to invest
SIS, 900 in a coke oven plant, standing
ready to bring in an outside company,
which shall erect 5000, 900 gas works
to distribute and sell cheap fuel gas to
down town plants. The plans now
contemplate that the coke ovens shall
be built during the summer. About
ninety Des hoin es laboring men will
be required, much skilled labor being
brought in for the construction of the
plant. Mr.. Seibel said that for many
years it had been thought western coal
could not be cooked. but the new pro-
cess, called the Hemingway, which
is used by the Universal Fuel Compa-
ny, which Mr.. Seibel represents, will
enable the great state OF Iowa to coke
all of its immense quantities of coal.
The gas will be used for fuel only.
1t is the intention, said Mr.. Seibel. of
the company to furnish fuel for all the
manufacturing industries in the city.
The liquors arising from the manufac-
ture will be sent east. The ovens to
erected in Iowa will be built in the or
der named: One hundred ovens in OF
tumwa, 100 in Des Moines, 100 in
Council Bluffs, 100 in Davenport, and
100 in Dubuque. Owing to the great
interest taken in the matter by the
people of ottumwa, Mr.. Seibel said
that the company would build the first
ovens there
