TURNER FAIR ENDS.
A Large Crowd in Attendance Sat
urday Evening.

Saturday evening was the last date
of the Turner fair, which has been in
progress in Ottumwa for the past
week. A very large crowd was in at.
tendance and the closing evening was
the most successful one of the entire
fair. Dancing was a feature which oc-
cupied the attention of the majority of
those present.
The contests were brought to a
close and the rivalry between the
candidates was very keen. Several
articles We're raffled, but the principal
contests were on the lady's gold watch
the case of wines and the beer stein.
Miss Lulu Pasnau received the high
est number of votes and was awarded
the watch. Her opponent was Miss
Agnes Griffin. Michael Schwartz won
the contest for the case of fine wines
over John Dittman. John Berkes was
the successful contestant for the beer
stein, his competitor being Fred Wells.
To Herman Miller was awarded the
upholstered couch.
This years fair was very successful
from a financial standpoint. Fair
crowds were present each evening
and especially Saturday evening. The
best of order was kept and no disturb,
ance of any kind marred the pleasure
of the fair.

THE CORN SITUATION
GROWS INTERESTING
Phillips Holdings Estimated to be
Around 100000 Rushels-sut
Four Days Are Left.

Chicago, Nov. 26.-During the fore.
noon today November corn, the local,
visible supply of which has been cor
nered by George H. Phillips, sold
twice at so cents. Phillips having
been sustained by the board commit
tee in rejecting for contract grade,
new corn which had gone thru the dry
ing process, and encouraged by small
receipts Of contract grade, is quo
ted today as asserting his entire con-
tidence that he controls the market.
The market opened one cent higher
ian the close Saturday, at 40 cents
and within an hour and a half went to
so cents. At this figure Phillips sold
100 600 bushels, later selling a small
line at As cents The shorts were
rather nervous today but it is asserted
Phillips has no desire to squeeze
them severely, altho it is generally be-
lieved he could do so if he desired.
Estimate of Phillips Holdings.
The November corn line of George
H. Phillips is estimated somewhere
around 100000 bushels, large enough
holding, it is believed, to control the
market absolutely for the moment and
to make possible during the next few
days any price within reason the bull
leader may name. The situation is
an interesting one certainly, SO much
so that the youthful manipulation is q
center of interest, suddenly the cynos
ure among all the other speculative
| stars.

Physician Killed In Cold
Blood This Morning.
WAS SHOT FROM AMBUSH
Affair Happened at Hamilton, Small
Town Near Albia-Man Charged
with the Crime Under Arrest-What
the Latter Says.

Abba, Nov. 26.-(SeciaD- cold
blooded murder was committed in the
town of Maryville, about II miles
from Abba early this morning, and Is
supposed to have resulted from thein
sane brooding of another Maryville
man over his own domestic troubles.
The murder occurred near a heavy
grove and the victim is prominent
physician. No one saw the deed done
but an arrest has been made on sus-
picion.
Just after breakfast this morning,
shortly after 1880 o'clock, DR.. Hamil-
ton left his residence in Maryville for
the purpose of going to the barn some
distance away where he intended to
care for his horses. The barn is To-
Gated in dense grove. When near
the structure a shot rang out on the
morning air and the physician reeled
but did not fall. He staggered to the
door of his home and just as he reach
ed for the door knob, fell dead. His
horror stricken family gathered
around the PROSTATE form of the hus-
band and father, but he had breathed
his last. 1t was found that large
calibre bullet had penetrated the
skull, probably having come from a
rifle Assistance was at once sum-
| moned and the authorities put on the
case. After a short investigation the
| sheriff of Marion county placed Alfred
Ahn, man about thirty-five years OF
age who is now separated from his
wife,, under arrest charged with the
commission Of the awful crime. Nc
one saw Ahn fire the fatal shot but
it is rumored that Aim said he would
kill the physician. 1t is said that
Aims animus eminates from the sup
position that the dead man separated
/ Aim and his wife, or was the cause OF
4 domestic trouble in Aims family i
is said that Ahn had made threat:
against DR.. Hamilton and. it is sait
i will confess. This latter statement
however, is merely supposition and
is current rumor in Maryville.
Location of MaryviIIe.
Maryville is in Marion county, near
ly on the line between it and Mahasks
county, in the southeastern part O
the former county. 1t is about sly
miles from Lovilia and about II miles
from Abba.
1 All Excitement.
The murder of the physician ha:
caused intense excitement in the littl,
town, where the physician was wei
and favorably known.

Woman Killed In a Railroad
Camp.
WAS SHOT -FOUR TIMES.
Is the Sequel of a Difficulty Among
Graders at Work Near Thayer, a
Small Town Near Creston-crimin-
al Makes His Escape.

Creston, Nov. 26.-(Special.)- A
cold blooded murder was perpetrated
near Thayer Saturday evening, the
principals to which were both colored,
the murderer being man and his vic
tim a woman.
The news was conveyed to this city
in telegram from the city marshal at
Thayer to Capt. Geo. w. Hicks, ask
ing that the sheriff and county coron-
er be sent down at once. Sheriff Mil.
Ter went down on No. IA, and when
Coroner Mckee was notified he secur-
ed an order from Supt. J. Fl. Duggan
for No. 12 to stop at Thayer in order
that he might reach the scene of the
crime. The particulars at that hour
telephone line reaching Thayer was
closed for the night, but it was under
stood that the murder was the result
| of scrap" among the colored peo-
| pie in camp near Thayer, as a Sc
quel to which one of the men shot and
instantly killed one of the colored wo-
men who were at the camp. He shot
four times, each discharge taking eff
| feet in the woman'S breast. After the
shooting the criminal temporarily
made his escape, fleeing, it is under
stood in an eaSterly direction.
Name Is Lotte Holmes.
The name of the deceased woman is
Lottie Holmes, and she has been at
this place upon different occasions,
having sister at present residing on
North Cherry street. The name of the
man who did the shooting was given
as Hugh Dickson, altho he was also
known as Ben Chairman. The real mo-
tive for the commission of the deed
has not yet been disclosed, but it is
the supposition that there had been
trouble between the two upon some
former occasion
.uurderers Disappearance.
The description of the murderer
which was sent to Marshal Hicks was
as follows: Negro, five feet six inch
les, rather yellow, about weeks
growth of beard on his face, new pail
of overshoes, black duck coat, weighs
165 pounds, and is about 25 years ol
lage.
Arrested Non Suspicion.
A colored man was arrested by the
officers last night upon suspicion
of his being the one wanted as he an
swered practically all of the descrip
ton given above with the exception O.
lAe duck coat. However, he was able
to show that he was in Creston be
J tween the hours of 6 anu s, at which
time the crime was committed and hi
was accordingly released.
Known in OttumWa.
[ 1t is said that the woman was known
in Ottumwa, but inquiry at the police
station and among colored people fail
, ed to yarify the rumor

Lashed Into Fury.

Cleveland, o. Nov. 26.-Another
violent storm prevailed on Lake Erie
and thruout northern Ohio today, the
wind coming from the north and blow
ing at the rate of sixty miles an hour,
and was accompanied by a heavy rain
and sleet. The lake was lashed to a
wild fury, no vessels leaving port.
Telegraph and telephone companies
suffered great damage. Hundreds of
poles are down and it will probably be
several days before complete repairs

Agreed-stands Poor Chance.

Washington, Nov. 26.-The state de.
partment is informed of an agreement
or understanding or preliminary treaty
which has been reached by the for
eign ministers at Peking, but it is
not regarded as expedient to give out
for publication at this time any detail
ed inormation regarding it. 1t may be
stated, however, that the arrangement
stands a very poor chance of receiving
the sanction of all the powers repre-.
sented in the Peking conference, un.
less some material amendments are
permitted.

Finances.

One of the satisfactory things in the
financial operations of the last year
has been the successful refunding Of
the national debt. The president will
give the figures to show to what an
extent this has been accomplished,
and will express qualification at the
large and perpetual saving in interest
accomplished in this way. Attention
will be called to the fact that refund
ing operations will cease entirely at
the end of the current year.
Repeal Part Of War Tax.
1t will become the pleasing duty Of
the chief executive to call attention to
the satisfactory condition of the treas.
ury. The reports show steadily in.
creasing surplus, which for the first
six months of this fiscal year will
amount to over .$10,000,O00. Taking
this fact in connection with the es
Inmates of Secretary Gage, indicating
the probability of still larger in
crease in the surplus hereafter, the
president will make a positive recon-
mendation for the repeal of large
proportion of the taxes levied by the
war revenue act of 1898.
He will not recommend its
|entire repeal, because the ex
traordinary expenses of a large
army across the sea necessi
tates unusual expenditures. The pres
ident will, however, indicate bis ides

ing that the abolition of taxes be con

Former Supreme Court JUS
tice Says the Amendment
Means What it Says.
EXTENDS THEIR TERMS.
Judge c. c. Cole Adds Mite to the
Tangle-Said the Constitutional
Convention Proposition Might Not
Have Carried.

Judge C. c. Cole, former supreme
justice of Iowa, has written an opinion
in which he holds that the biennial
e.ection amendment means what 1t
says and no court can tamper with it.
He says that the people adopted the
amendment that was voted for, not
one which some of the interested poll,
ticians are trying to argue was in
tended for the one that was actually
adopted. 1t is so clear that it can
not be construed" or interpreted"
by the courts. 1t extends the terms of
the officers who would otherwise go
out in 1901 for one year, in specific
language. No court can twist the
specific language to mean something
it does not say, after the people have
voted the specific language into the
constitution.
Intent Not Considered.
Intent has nothing to do with it,;
at least, the Legislative intent" The
peoples intent is the determining fac
tor. Their intent is not only discern-
able by the vote with which they
grated the biennial election amend
| ment onto the constitution. No court
can bring itself to say that the peo-
ple's intent was to adopt some otehr
amendment than the one adopted.
The people meant what they said.
| What they did was the best evidence
| of their intent.
| Judge Coles opinion was asked by
I client who holds clerk S office in a
county not 1000 miles from Polk coun-
| ty.
The Convention Proposition.
The error in the figures which had
been secured, unofficially, on the con-
stitutional convention from the differ
| ent counties, has been discovered and
leads to the belief that possibly the
convention has not been called.
The official figures on the conven-
ton and the biennial election amend-
ment can not be known until the
state canvassing board goes over the
returns which they will do today.
