should be done in the church. In fact,
Mr.. Cumrnins stands high with the
leading members Of the church, and
they say he is good enough republican
for them. Any effort to cause a dis
turbance in the church will be met
with condemnation.
The Iowa democrats are still seeking
a candidate for governor. Nobody
wants it, at least nobody the democrats
are willing to trust. The populists are
also searching for material for a ticket.
They will meet the same week as the
democrats, but 1t will not be fusion this
year.
Among the new cases brought to the
supreme court for review at the next
term is that of the state aginst Charles
INewhouse, from Monroe county.
Newhouse was sentenced to three years
in the penitentiary at the January
term by Judge Eichelberger for the
robbery of $500 from Celestine Wal
denis residence January 81, 1900. He
was arrested first in Des Moines and
later in Monticello, Ill. When arrested
in Des Moines he had handful of bills
which he stuffed in his mouth. One of
the chief grounds for appeal is that the
lawyer in addressing the jury said he
tried to chew the money, when in fact
he only stuffed it in his mouth Inn
proper statements by the court and
lawyers are alleged and also some
questions about horse. Another case,
civil suit, just appealed, is that of the
wife of Phil Roland, postmaster at LIE
Mars, against j. j. Tierney and John
Holden, involving title to some land
which was left to Mrs. Roland by will
of her grandfather. Tierney was her
uncle and guardian. The case was
tried before Judge Oliver in Plymouth
county, George Scot, state committee
man, being attorney for plaintiff and
judgment was given to Mrs. Roland
and Tierney appeals. The case Of ].
A. Morrison against the Chicago &
Northwestern, from Marshall county,
has been appealed by the company.

one-half miles west of Marshalltown,
and the company in making the double
track partially closed a cattle run un-
der the tracks. Morrison sued for
value of one bull, who got stuck fast
under the track and was drowned,
value 5000; for horse killed on the
track, $500; and for $110 for cost of
driving stock over the track all sum-
mer. He secured judgment for s445.
Another case recently appealed is that
of Elizebeth Grapes VS.. City of Shell
don, from O'Brien county. This is
personal injury case, the plaintiff hav-
ing been injured on defective side
walk. and she secured a Judgment for
s1,750 on the trial before Judge Hutch
inson.
It has developed tat the money coll
lected as fees by the officials of the
board of examiners for pit bosses, ETC.,
was not turned over to the state until
after the expert examiners got after
them and made 1t plain there would be
an exposure if the money was not
turned over at once.
George w. Clarke, of Dallas county,
who has been renominated for the
house and will be reelected, will not
be a candidate for speaker He had
considered the advisability of being a
candidate this time. but he has received
positive information to the effect that
Willard L. Eaton, Of Mitchell county,
will be candidate again. and Mr..
Clarke will give his support to Eaton.
1t is pretty certain that the house will
be favorable to Eaton, and he will be
the next speaker
