REEDS HEALTH NO BETTER.
Hard Work and Disappointment in
Politics Telling on Him.

Washington, Oct. 22.-Thomas b.
Reed, ex-speaker of the house of repre-
sentatives, who is in Washington to ar
que case before the United States su-
Ipreme court. has aged perceptibly since
he laid down the gavel of presiding Of
ficer of the house of representatives.
Hard work, incident to his large law
practice in New York. is telling on him.
He is not the robust appearing man
Washington knew few years ago. Mr..
Reeds friends say he has lost none of
his bitterness over the fortunes of presi-
Dental politics and that his conversa-
tion has in 1t tone of disappointment
and resentment. He has no sympathy
whatever with New York politics and
keeps away from the politicians there.
When several reporters called upon him
at the Shoreham he greeted them court
eously and then said:
Please do not quote me. never
talk for the newspapers now
Mr.. Reed was 62 years old Friday.

Des Moines, Oct 22.-It is probable
that an effort will be made in the legis-
lature next winter to have the treasurer
OF state employ special agent In charge
OF the work of collecting the collateral
inheritance tax. 1t is believed that such
special agent, giving his entire time to
the collection of the tax, having corre-
spondence with all the county officials
and going about from place to place to
see that the law is enforced to the let
ter, could easily make for the state a
great deal more than his salary and ex-
penses. Not that there is any laxity in
the enforcement of the law now, but the
collateral inheritance business Is only
one of many matters that must be at
tended to in the office of the treasurer
Ct state, and reliance must be had large
ly on the county officials for enforce
ment. The total amount of the tax col
lected for the two years ended June 80
last, as shown by the books of the treas
urer. was s196 6,464.54. The showing for
the next two years will be much better.
Since the meetings of county attorneys
tention is being given to the subject.
The tax is sure to be an increasing
source of revenue to the state. The
largest single collection of the tax dur
ing the period mentioned came from
Jones county. where $4,000 was received
from the estate of George w. Lowell.
The county which has contributed most
to the fund is Scott, with S19,S95.S7 in the
two years. Dubuque county contributed
S17, ,321 .49, and Polk county S12, ,544.72. The
contribution Of Linn county was only
S3,074.39; Marshall countys contribution
amounted to S365.19; and Woodbury.

The celebrated Cedar Rapids water
works case was argued to the supreme
court yesterday The case is of more
than Cedar Rapids local intereot from
the fact that it involves a roundabout
method of city trying to pay for wa
ter works system and some unusual pro-
visions in the charter. There is a ques-
ticn about the change of the ordinance
by which essential portions were struck
out surreptitiously, but the main fea-
lures of the case are of general applica-
ton. The council granted a charter to
j. H. Brown for the construction of wa
ter works. He was to receive rental Of
s3S, 900, a year for twenty-three years
for fire hydrants, after which the prop
erty was to belong to Cedar Rapids.
While the annual payments were to be
ostensibly for fire protection, they We're
to be in fact pay for the property Brown
organized company, capitalized at
$4,000, in which he was the chief stock
holder and borrowed $4,000 on bonds.
The case for the water company is
largely on the theory that paying for
water works system under the guise of
paying water rent is contrary to law.
But another question was presented by
Mr.. Clark in his argument. The ordi-
rance provided for furnishing water free
to the schools public buildings. hospi-
tails, churches and parsonages. BY
what process" asked Mr.. Clark. who ap-
peared for the Cedar Rapids Water
Company. which is fighting the ordi-
nance, "can this court be brought to ap-
prove contract under which the people
OF Cedar Rapids are to be taxed for sup
Lying the water for parsonages, or for
the churches, for the baptismal water of
the Protestant churches or the holy wa
ter of the Catholic churches? Yet that
is what the contract contemplates." The
case has been hard fought all thru. The
water company won In the lower court.
Major John f. Lacey was In the city
last night. He reports having had eX-
cellent meetings in the state. One
change has been made in his dates
from Relnbeck to Sioux Rapids for
Thursday evening, on account OF con-
dieting meetings at the former place.

list committee, did not get his paper

THE. NEBRASKA CAMPAIGN.
lPopuIists Are strainins to Regain Con
troll of State.

troll of State.
Lincoln. Neb., Oct. 22.-With blare
of trumpets, and the persistent blinking
of the limelights the populists are try
ing to regain control of Nebraska. while
the republicans are working to keep in
power by means of skiful organization.
The spectacular effects are all with the
populists; the skilful aligning of forces
and shrewd plotting are being done by
the republicans.
The first sensation of the campaign
was created when an Omaha paper un-
der the direction of the populist state
central committee charged III. l.. Goold,
who was candidate for regent of the
state university, with borrowing money
from Joseph Bartley and forgetting to
return it. Furthermore, he had voted
fore the expiration of the sixty-day pars
ole granted by Governor Savage.
One week later in the campaign the
report would have undoubtedly floored
the whole republican ticket and doomed
lit to defeat. but the flank movement
was premature. Chairman Lindsay at
once called Mr. Goold to Lincoln and
advised him to give up the race. E. G.
Calkins was nominated by the commit
tee instead Of Goold, and thus the re-
publican party made a bold stand for
..clean politics" as the leaders eS-
pressed it,
The populists are relying almost enc
tirely upon the partisan press and cam
paign orators. They have carefully as
signed their speakers and will canvass
the entire state in this way. The state
central committee is short on funds and
can not do anything in the way of or
ganization.
The republicans have polled the entire
state. What the result is Chairman

PUSHING Annexation Plans.

Havana, Oct. PA petition asking
that Cuba be annexed to the United
States is being circulated among Cuban
business men, and every effort is being
centered upon annexation, as business
men generally, 1t is alleged, believe the
reciprocity movement will amount to
nothing. A meeting has been arranged
for next Wednesday, at which. 'altho
held under the guise of reciprocity. it is
said, the first gun in the campaign for
annexation will be fired by Cuban ora
tors, Senors Desvernine and Lanuza,
and the MARQUIS De Mont0ro.

The official board in charge of the
election ballots decided late last night
that Mr.. Hufshmidt. of Allamakee
county, was not entitled to have his
name placed on the ballots, because of
the objections raised by republicans as
to the regularity of the proceedings. The
position of the republicans was shown
Z to be strong one. The law was vio-
lated. at least technically, and the stat
ute is one of those which require living
up to in the strictest possible manner.
If it could be stretched little 1t could
be stretched a long way. To have per-
n,itted the nomination papers from AL
lamakee to have been filed when it was
clearly shown that they could not have
been brought from Allamakee county
by the regular process would have get
a precedent which would have come up
to bother the board and the state Off
cials in the future. There are other
ways, in all probability, in which the
name of Mr.. Hufshmidt may be got on
these official ballots. The law permits
amending a certificate of nomination,
and 1t permits the filling of a vacancy
where it is caused by some defect or
irregularity. The democrats Will re-
sort to one or the other of these meth
DDS of getting the name on the ticket,
and there will be an election in Allama-
kee lust the same.
