Public Opinion on Iowa Subjects as

The News Of Iowa From Hundreds
Of Different Towns and Com
Munities.
ELIMINATE THE GANG.


When a boy refuses to be amenable
to parental authority and grows into
p young man who totally disregards the
decencies incumbent on him as q mem
Der OF "a respectable family, must soci-
ETY. tolerate his lawlessness and en-
courage its agents, the authorities, to
n be blind to his lawless acts and shield
him from the consequences out of con-
eideratiom for his respectable relatives
and friends?
The authorities of Iowa City have for
years acted upon this theory and the
result has been the development Of a
gang OF worthless young men and boys
who take as their pattern certain others
who brag that they can cut up any ca
per and the officers dare not arrest
them because of theh family connec-
tions. If there is a mistake and one of
the latter happens to get caught In the
i clutches of the law pull" squelches the
: affair and wards off merited punish
ment.
This community is becoming tired OF
Z the depredations of this gang, and is
! getting into a frame of mind that Won,
\ put up with it much longer Az the
Republican suggested the other day, tbs
gang should be eliminated.

Will NOT GUARD CARS.
Sheriff. Posse In st Louis Il Used for Pre-
serving Order on the sereee-RiOting
Bec0ming More FreQuent.

st. Louis, June 5.-The citizen MEM
bers of the posse comitatus had their
first experience with active service
Monday, when several companies were
assigned to guard duty at the Park
avenue, Easton avenue and Southern
Electric powerhouses of the Transit
company. ms were given out to
about 900 of the deputies yesterday,
and the day was spent in drilling
them. AS result the deputies pre-
scented a military appearance as they
marched away to their respective
rendezvous with guns at right
shoulder. A barrack has been pro-
vided for those already sworn in and
there men will eat and sleep when off
duty. None of the deputies will be
sent out to guard the cars, the police
being retained for that service.
All but two or three of the divi-
sions of the Transit system are oper-
ating cars and good schedules are
being maintained on most of the
zlines. The interference with passen-
gers in some sections of the city by
sympathizers is becoming serious. It
is as much as persons life is worth
to get off a street car along South
Broadway. Men, women and children
join in the assault on any one caught
riding on the cars, sticks, stones and
fists being used on all alike.

WAS 1T AGUINALDO7
Belief That Maj. March's Men Killed or
Wounded the Famous Filipino 100
Miles Northeast of Vigan.

Vigan, LuZon, via Manila, June s.
Maj. March, with his detachment of
the Thirty-third regiment, on May 10
at La Cat, about 100 miles northeast
of Vigan, killed or wounded an officer,
supposed to be Aguinaldo, whose body
was removed. by his followers. Maj.
March struck Aguinaldo's outpost
about a mile outside Of La Cat, kill
ing four Filipinos and capturing two.
From the latter he learned that
Aguinaldo had camped there for the
night, although exhausted and half
starved, Maj. March's men entered
La Cat on the run. They saw the in
surgents scattering into the bushes
or over the plateau.0 A thousand
yards beyond the town, on the noun
tain side, the figures of 25 Filipinos,
dressed in white, with their leader on
a grey horse, were silhouetted against
the sunset. The Americans fired a
volley and saw the officer drop from
his horse. His followers fed, carry
ing the body with them. The Amer
leans, on reaching the spot, caught
the horse, which was richly saddled.
Blood from a badly wounded man
was on the animal and on the ground.
The saddlebags contained Aguinaldo's
diary and some private papers, in
Guiding proclamations.

taken yesterday toward the forma-
ton OF new political party in Mis-
souri,. A meeting was held at 90s

future, the new party included.

DATES FROM PRISON DAYS.
Mayor Frank f. Moores, of OmSha, Re-
pays . Debt Contracted While In LIB
by Prison 35 Years Ago.

Omaha, Neb., June 5.-Mayor Frank
E. Moores to-day paid debt which
has been standing for 35 years. In
January, 1885, Mayor Moores, then a
captive in Libby prison, accepted a
loan of $225yin confederate scrip from
Rev. T. v. Moore, of Richmond, Va.
AT the conclusion of the war he made
every effort to locate his ebehefactor,
but failed. Last week clergyman
named T. v. Moore was installed at
the Westminster Presbyterian church
in this city, and the name came to the
mayors attention. Upon investiga-
.Siun the executive found the newly
arrived clergyman to be the son of
the pastor whose heart was touched
Mt the soldier boys suffering. At the
close of the war the elder Moore re-
moved to Nashville, where he died in
1871. His loan had enabled the young
Ohio captain to survive an attack of
fever. The debt, which amounts to
$50 in gold with interest, has been
paid by the mayor.

Riding q Street Car.

st. Louis, June 5.-The Sunday
calm in the neighborhood of Ninth
street and Geyer avenue was broken
by bowling, hooting crowd of 1000
people, who assaulted defenseless
woman, simply because she rode on a
st. Louis Transit company car,
knocked her down, tore from her body
every shred of clothing, beat her
about the face and body, and robbed
her of her pocketbook containing SIS.
Women and men living in the neigh
Eorhood where the assault took
place refused the unfortunate woman
shelter and it was only after she had
been the butt of the mob's treatment
for 10 or Is minutes that she at last
found refuge in the cellar of the
house at 91S Allen avenue, where
she covered in the darkness until
supplied with clothing and rescued
by the police.

ATTACKS PENSION SYSTEM.
Senator Petdgrew Says Special FavoIs Are
Being Granted for Political Effect
Challenged by Gallinger.

Washington, June Sin the senate
Monday Mr.. Allen asked that an hour
be set aside for the consideration of
pension bills. Mr.. Pettigrew objected.
He said there were many bills on the
calendar which were more meritorious
than the pension bills. The pension
laws, he thought, were defective and
unjust and that special favors were
being granted for political effect.
Further, he declared that more pen
sion bills has been passed at this ses-
sion than at any session for years.
Mr.. Gallinger, chairman of the coin
mittee on pensions, challenged Mr..
Pettigrew's statement as to the num-
Der OF pension bills passed.
