Rumor That the illinois Central Will
Operate the D. M, L. e. 4 ~.
Waterloo, Aug. There is rumor
among the trainmen here that the rail-
road that is now being built from Iowa
Falls to Des Moines will be controlled
by the Illinois Central. To substantiate
their statements the trainmen say that
nearly all the road that has been built
out of Iowa Falls has been laid by llli-'
nois Central employees and work train
stationed at and near Iowa Falls is
chiefly employed in handling material
for the new road. It has long been
known that the Central would like to
have connections with southern and
central Iowa, but for a long time there
has been good prospects of obtaining the
Iowa Central which would practically
serve this purpose, but as this deal has
failed to materialize, arrangements were
made for the building of the new line.
1t is being built thru a rich farming
country, nearly bisecting the angle
formed by the C. G. w. and Northwest
ern ana which, as yet, has very poor
railroad connections with the outside.
Illinois Central officials when asked in
regard to the matter, stated that the
trade connections between lne new liHe
and the Central must necessarily be
very close. but that as yet nothing had
been done by the latter to secure control
of it. All the lines OF the Central that
have been built in this same manner
on account of the stipulations of the
charter of the Central which only allows
1t to own and control a limited amount
of line. To avoid this barrier. the lines
are built by companies under a different
name and are absorbed by the Central
by leasing them for a period of years.

The Dubuque and vinton.

Dubuque, Aug. IA meeting of the
directors Of the Dubuque, Vinton &
Southwestern Railway Company was
neld yesterday afternoon in the Office of
Secretary McVan, of the Business Mems
League. Maj. w. H. Day, who presided,
spoke of the outlook of the enterprise,
saying that necessarily any efforts to in
crease Dubuque railroad facilities would
be attended with difficulties, but he
hoped that by earnest effort they might
be overcome. The encouragement the
enterprise has so far received indicated,
he said, that success would be achieved
in the end. Then followed discussion
OF the outlets from Dubuque for the pur-
pose of determining which is the best to
adopt. The matter was disposed by dele
eating the power Of selecting a course to-
the executive committee. The tenor OF
several letters received by the executive
committee indicates that much interest
is bling taken in the proposed road.
On motion of Mr.. j. w. Conchar an
executive committee of nine was ap-
pointed to act with the president in
carrying the project forward. This
committee consists of w. H. Day, chair
man; d. D. Myers, B. w. Lacy, ]. n.

Between Des Moines and Nevada.
Des Moines, Aug. THE work of
grading the first eighteen miles of the
interurban company's road to Nevada
has been commenced and large forces
are at work in the vicinity OF Ankeny
throwing up the grade. 1t is expected
1t will take at least thirty days to COM
plete this work. It is the intention,
pending an adjustment of the differ
ences between the Interurban and Des
Moines Union over right of-way along
the river north of the city, to prosecute
the work in both directions from An
keny, and much of the bridge and track
material now on hand, will be unloaded
there. In all probability the first track
laying will be done from that point.
AS soon as the work of relaying the
down town street car loops with heavy
steel is completed, the track laying
gang will go to work relaying the road
between the city and Flint Valley with
heavy material,

SAMPLES OF oRN.
They Show Poor Outlook for Good
Yield.

Des Moines, Aug. 1.-THE grain men
OF the city are busy collecting samples
of ears OF corn from fields in this vicin-
ity and express themselves .as convinced
that there will be little marketable corn
in Iowa this year. They declare that the
ears that have thus far been sent in by
their agents as fair samples will none OF
them make good corn. It will be partial
Sly filled In some cases and in other cases
there will be a crop Of cobs. That is
the way the grain men look at the PROS
poets for crop OF corn. They declare
that every day makes things worse, as
in only a few sections OF the state has
there been enough rain to do the corn
any rail good. It is admitted that there
may be fair crop in some places, but
the general opinion is that there Will not
be to exceed half a crop.
Mr. r. w. Harper said: "a few days
ago said that the corn crop OF Iowa
this year would not be to exceed half Of
the normal. Today I think 1t Will be-
less than that. Every report receive is
more discouraging, and I see no hope OF
relief. In some places the corn Is past
help now. A foot of rain would no good
when the tassels and silk are dead. In
Their places the ears will have some corn
on them. This will betin the late corn,
however, as 1t was not far enough along
to be as badly hurt by the drouth as
that planted earlier. Rain in a few days,
might help the late corn some, but do
not think it would make good crop"
Mr.. Layton, of the firm of B. "A. Lock-
wood & Co., was more optimistic. IT do
not believe the corn Is as badly hurt as
some are inclined to believe" said he.i
"Of course. it is badly damaged in some!
parts OF the state. Yet believe there
will be three-fourths OF = crop. The cool
waether Of the last. few days, and espe-
cially the cool nights are favorable. It
gives the corn chance to grow, and
even tho there may not be as much rain
as needed, the corn is not being burned
up at any rate. That Is the great
thing. I think that good part OF the
crop Will be saved. Leaving the crops in.

GRAFTON, think there will be good corn

kota to the effect that corn in that part
Of the country is going to be, better this
year than ever before. n that is the
case we may have large amount. Of

Gravel Train Rushes Across . Burning
& Bridge Near Fort Dodge.

Fort Dodge. Aug. AT about 4
o'clock Monday afternoon the gravel
train No. "a, on the NJ. & st. L. road
made daring rush over burning
trestle this side of Kalo that threatened
to crash thru at any moment and let
train and crew drop to fearful death.
But the bridge was crossed in safety
and the engineer reported the same to
the railroad authorities In this city.
Two engines were dispatched to the
scene Immediately and served as odd
fire engines, squirting the water from
their tanks into the flames and rushing
back to the city to refill their tenders.
It was necessary to send the Des
Moines passenger around over the Rock
Iisland tracks or delay 1t for an ex-
tended time. After forty feet of the
sixty-five foot trestle had burned, the
fire was extinguished and the men i'm
mediately went to work to build a
temporary trestle. This is now COM
pleted and Strains are running regularly.
The fire probably originated from an
engine spark. :.

The object Of the organisation y not
50 much to nominate county ofncers az
1T Is to nominate candidates for the leg
sislature. Chairman Campbell u conf
dent that there will be q candidate for
the legislature in every district in the
state, and that good vote will be polled
IN some sections where the prohibition
sentiment is strong. 1t will be necessary
to hold joint conventions in the districts
that are composed of more than one
county, and, while 1t is hardly probable
that any of the candidates will be
elected unless combinations are made,
yet q great deal Of enthusiasm will re-
suit from the meetings. The object 10
to get the members Of the party togeth-
Ser and make them more accustomed to
organization.
/ The work of organiza ton is IN the
hands Of the district chairmen. They are
held responsible for all the counties in
their district and are urged to see that
each one is organized as soon as possi-
Bile. Active work will commence soon
after all the conventions are held, and
in some parts OF the state 1t has COM
menced already. A county organization
is a good basis to work upon and the
county organizations are expected to be
Of great assistance in arranging dates
for meetings and generally looking after
the campaign.
The headquarters Of the party in this
city are now open all the time, and
Chairman Campbell is to be found there
most Of the day. From this on he will
devote more time to the work, and,
while he does not expect to go out in
the field himself. he will have charge OF
all the speakers. More organizers will
be placed in the field as soon as the
proper men are found.
