THE, NEW in IOWA
RAILROAD ORDERED soLD.5

Minneapolis & Sc. Louis Advertised by
3a tho sheriff Of Ixossnth County.
Fort Dodge, Feb. go. In response
TO an execution issued by Attorney
George Il. Clarke of Algona, Sheriff
Christensen OF. Kossuth county has
advertised that the Minneapolis & St.
Louis railroad will be sold at sheriff's
sgle to satisfy a Judgment OF $4,000
against the road held by Mr.. Clarke.
The Judgment was one granted
against the road in the celebrated
German case, which has been before
the courts i'll northwestern Iowa for
the past fifteen years. The case grew
out of the death of brakeman
1,amed German, resident OF this
CITY, as the result of an accident at
Luverne, Iowa, and of the attempt
made by his mother, Mrs. Bridget
German, to recover damages from
the railroad corporation. The case
has been up several times, and recent
w Mrs. German was given a judg-
ment of 5000. This sum the railroad
corporation refused to pay, on the
ground that the company ut the time
when the accident occurred which re-
suited in Germans death was known
as the Minneapolis g. st. Louis Rail-
way company. whereas now it goes
by the name of the Minneapolis & st.
Louis Railroad company, q new cor
poration having bought out the old.
The company claims that this fact re-
licves them from responsibility for
any debts which We're aecruing to the
old company, while the attorneys for
the plaintiff are of the opinion that
the present corporation, when it
bought the property of the Minneap'
oils & st. Louis Railway company also
incurred the liabilities accruing to
that company at the time of the pur-
chase. The present step has been
taken by Mrs. Germans attorneys
with a view to securing settlement
af the matter

Des Moines, March THE new cleo.
S,ric railroad for which company
with .sl50,0O0 capital was organized Q
few days ago in Charles City, seems
to be very ambitious enterprise.
The organization as it is being per-
fccted by s. 4. Kern of Charles City
and George w. Dawson OF Waterloo
is only small part Of the plans the
company has under consideration.
The new company expects to come
into Des Moines with it's electric
line, and the company, when fully or.
gn fized, will have a backing that will
render it easy to float the bonds to
carry the gigantic deal to completion.
Messrs. Kern and Dawson, the promo
tors of the scheme, claim to have the
hest of assistance. They are moder.
ately wealthy men themselves and
have promoted number of big deals
that have been paying investments
and have the confidence of capitalists.
They number in their present back
ing considerable amount of capital
il. Des Moines.
The proposed route of the new road
is in jumps OF ten to twenty miles
from Charles City to Greene, then
south through Allison, Parkersburg,
Grundy Center, Conrad, Marshall
tows, Van Cleve or laurel, and then
to Newton, where the Charles City
line will meet that being proposed by
the Cleveland syndicate i'll which a
large number of people are interested.
None Of the cities named have north
and south lines except Marshalltown.
and the scheme is one Of the most
plausible ever brought out in the way
OF an electric line. The plan is simply
the operation of a series of local
railways. Between each of the towns
men toned there are a number of in
land towns that would welcome a
railroad and will pay handsomely to
get it,

Clinton, Feb. 2s.-Early yesterday
morning tramp confined in the city
jail at Maquoketa in some manner
set fire to his bedding and was burn
ed to death before assistance reach
ed him. The city Jail is in the base
ment Of the court house. and it was
with some difficulty that the building
was saved. The tramp appeared at
the Office of the mayor the night be-
fore and asked for lodging. His
identity is not known and there was
nothing on his person by which he
could be identified. On one of his
arms was the tattoo of monument.
and the words: "In Memory of

Des Moincs Feb. 27.--A deal has
been closed by Messrs. Il. S. ELS
worth, W. II. Courtney and j. w. Ship
ley of Iowa Falls, who are the back
bone of the proposed Des Moincs,
Iowa Falls e Northern railroad,
whereby they will be able to procure
terminal grounds of the Des Moincs
Union Railway company. The nego-
tiations for the Des Moines Union
were conducted by President +. M.
Hubbell, and the only act that re-
mains to make the contract IRON
bound is the ratification by the board
of directors. Terminal facilities have
been the stumbling block in the way
Of the enterprise advanced by Iowa
Falls capitalists. The same trouble
Blocked the work of the old Duluth
& New Orleans road, to which the
new venture is the nominal successor.
The encouragement given the road
by the contract which it's promoters
We're able to make today practically
insures the building of the road. The
question of right-of-way will be the
next consideration. Messrs. Ellsworth
and Courtney and =. Schreiner, the
latter consulting engineer for the
road stated that in addition to the
assistance given the enterprise by
voting tax as a bonus, which had
been done in many townships south
from Iowa Falls, Representative Will
liam j. Ventman of Story county is
personally taking an interest in Or
der that Nevada and other good
towns of the county may be given a
north and south outlet. 1t is moro
than likely that the county will vote Il
substantial bonus to the road. 1t has
been agreed that the southern ter
minus for the present shall be Dcs
Moines, but the promoters have an
ambition to open other territory over
the Missouri line that remains unoc-
cuDied.

NO IOWA DISPLAY AT BUFFALO. O
State Will Not Participate, but Indivldu-
ais May Send Exhibits.

Des Moines, Feb. 2S.--Iowa will not
be represented in any way except by
individuals at the Pan-American eN-
position in Buffalo. 1t appears that
the state board of agriculture and the
State Horticultural society declined
tc use any Of their funds for this pur-
pose for two reasons--frst, because
they could not spend money enough
to make an adequate showing for the
state, and, second, because neither or
ganization was given an opportunity
to be represented in the expenditure
of the funds it was asked to appro-
pirate. The board Of agriculture took
the position that inasmuch as the
board was dependent somewhat up
on the good will of the legislature
and the Legislature had refused to
make an appropriation for this pur-
pose it. might be considered in bad
taste for the board to use it's funds
for show which had been turned
down bv the legislature. l-...

No Dissatisfaction With Minister Con-

Washington, March IA misunder-
standing appears to exist in Euro
pean capitals as to the conditions
under which Mr.. Conger was replaced
at Picking by Mr.. Rockhill, in charge
Of the negotiations for the United
States. The impression seems to have
gained currency that the change was
made by the state department be-
cause of dissatisfaction with Mr.. Con.
gers action. .--
1t is said at the department that
Mr.. Conger was relieved at his own
request, and his cable message of
last week strongly urged that he be
allowed to come home for sixty days,
not intimating any purpose on his
part to remain longer in the United
States. 49,. -f.at.....,.

VETERANS DECLINE TO PARADE.
VIII Not Participate In the Inauguration
Ceremonies.


Washing ton, Feb. 27.-Veteran Or
CARNATIONS of the civil and Spanish
wars have officially declined to par
ticipate in the inaugural parade on
March l. The decision affects orga-
nizations in the Grand Army of the
Republic, the Union Veterans Union
and the Spanish War veterans. The
dissatisfaction of the veterans with
tie place assigned them in the pa
rade is rC5ponsible for the action.
1t was their wish to act as the per-
sonal escort of the president. Grand
Marshal Greene, on the contrary, as
signed them to a position in the line
ahead of the civic organizations and
following the National Guard. Cen
eral Daniel Sckles today notified Cen
cral Greene that the veterans had de.
clined to participate in the parade.
and he rendered his resignation as
marshal of the veteran division.
