Special to Times Republican.
Iowa Falls, Aug. 22.-Plans have adop-
ted and the location chosen for new
depot to be built here this season by the
Illinois Central raiload company. The
present specifications call for a wooden
structure but since the Des Moines,
Iowa Falls & northern will occupy a
portion of the new building, efforts will
be made by the latter company to Sc
cure stone and brick edifice. In such
an event the plans of the Illinois Cen
trail depot al Denison will be adopted in
surfing one of the finest railroad depots
in the state. Track laying on the d. NJ,
/. F. & n. road is being delayed by the
companys inability to get steel and
While waiting for the next shipment the
road bed will be ballasted and surfaced
so as to be ready for faster running
when track laying is resumed which will
probably be in few days. The Des
Moines, Iowa Falls & Northern Land
and Town Lot company has just been
organized and will control the new town
sites along the new line of road, Of
which there will be several plated in
the counties thru which the road runs.
The following we'll known gentlemen of
this city who are among the promoters
of the new line are the directors OF the
new company: William Weldon, w. v.

Special to Times-Republican
Allison, Aug. 22.-Your correspondent
has information that Louis Busse, who
was suspected of killing his wife and
burning the body last June. now await
ing the action of the grand jury at the
October term of court has confessed his
crime. 1t is reported that he claims to
have had quarrels at different times
with his wife and this time they came
TO blows. He knocked her down, killing
her. Then he tried to burn the house
ard body to cover up the crime. The
confession is probably made to avoid the
expense of a long and losing suit, as the
evidence hunted up by the sheriff and
county attorney would surely convict.
The children by his first marriage have
saved for them most of Busse's proper
ty, but the shadow OF the fathers crime
will rest on them thru life and the inno-
cent must suffer with the guilty. Strong
Grink in this case was the immediate
cause of the crime. The officers refuse to
talk about the confession or confirm it.

THE WATER WENT BAD.
Sudden Change in the Supply at Clear

Mason City, Aug. 22.-At Clear Lake
the state of the drinking water has sud
denly changed from being of the utmost
purity and sweetness to state of ram

of a year old swamp or of a rainbarrel.
The change occurred in one night. A
couple of years ago huge float Of moss
came down from the head Of the lake in
a raft of ice. 1t took seed on the town
side and grew. 1t is supposed that this
same seed. grown to maturity is rotting,
and that 1t is the refuse 1t has thrown
off that causes the present state Of the
water. A serious question now confronts
the city in furnishing fresh water for
the users of the water works. which
comprise over one-half of the residents
and most of the summer resorters
Clear Lake has been making great
preparations for the Marshalltown pic
mic, and will give the visitors the best
that the town affords. Every boat pos
sible has been called in and will be at
the pleasure of the excursionists. The
hotels and restaurants have completed
ample arrangements for the care of the
thousands who are expected. 1t is
thought that the excursion will be the
largest in the history Of Clear Lakes
