We pass over the fve years succeeding the
close OF the Civil War. during three Of which
Mississippi was treated as conquered territory
and held under military government. After
ratifyins the Fourteenth and Fifteenth amend
ments OF the Federal Constitution and elect
ing United States Senators, the State was
readmitted to tho Union by an act Of Congress
signed by President Grant on Feb ~, 1870.
IL was restored. however. under conditions
which materially impaired its sovereignty
and left II by no means on an equality with
the original States Of the Union. MIR. Garner
reminds us that Congress. In assuming the
power to deprive Mississippi of the right to
change its Constitution in certain particu-
lars. arrogated TO itself sovereign authority.
and. had II been able TO enforce It's command,
the principle Of tho Federal system would
have been destroyed. and a league inter dis
pdrdies would have been substituted. Some
Of these limitations. however. have been dis
regarded. and the belief prevails that the
Others may be act aside in the same way.
In his seventh chapter Mr. Garner shows
that the organization Of civil government in
Mississippi under the reconstruction Con-
sttuton did not differ materially from the
ante-bellum type. II WAS more democratic

KILLED At A CROSSING

Hartley, Dec. 1S.-A fatal accident
occurred at the crossing of the c. & st.
P. tracks here yesterday. Herman AS
mus is dead and his wife severely in
jured as a result of collision with the
east bound passenger train while on
their way home two miles from town.
The accident occurred about block
and half from the depot. There is
steep grade at this point.
Asmus was driving in buggy with
his wife and child. A blizzard was pre-
vailing and prevented a clear vision OF
the track. The train was forty-tive
minutes late and Asmus, apparently
was aware OF this fact. He did not see
the approaching train until it was up
on him. The engine struck the buggy
squarely, carrying it to the depot en- the
pilot Mr.. Asmus' skull was crushed
and he died a few hours later. Mrs.
Asmus was thrown thru the air for a
distance of several rods and picked up
unconscious. 1t Is thought, however,
that she will recover, unless injured in
ternally, which so far has not been as
certained. The child miraculously es-
capped apparently unhurt.

Icy Rails Prevented Stopping Of the

Special to Times Republican.
Tama, Dec. 1S.--The cause of the
wreck yesterday at Potter on the Mil
waukee, FIVE miles west OF here, APP
pears to have ben icy rails on which
the engineers were unable to stop their
trains.
The trains had been ordered to meet
at Potter. The freight came into the
town under control and was to have
headed onto q siding for the passenger
but the slippery rail would not hold the
train and she slid past the switch. Be-
fore they could get the train back past
the switch No. rounded the curve east
of town and came bearing down upon
the freight, her brakes set, but the rails
were frosty and the trims literally slid
into each other. All the engine men
jumped and. with the exception of
Giles, were uninjured, but the force of
the conclusion threw mail clerk Car
penter against one of the iron frames
of his car and instantly killed him.
Both engines had their front ends
broken in and the forward trucks of
the freight left the track. The stills of
the mail car were broken, but no fur

James E. Carpenter. the railway pos
tai clerk who persisted in the wreck,
was resident of Cedar Rapids for sew
eral years, but recently shipped his
personal effects to Council Bluffs,
which he intended to make his head
quarters for the greater convenience
that 1t afforded him. His route began
and ended in that city. Chief Clerk
Wilson at Cedar Rapids received tel
egram from William Van SAINT, who
was Carpenters co-laborer in the mail
car, announcing the death of Carpenter
which is understood to have been in
Simultaneous. From the receipt of this
| dispatch ii is inferred that Van SAM
himself was not injured, or at least no,
seriously.
James E. Carpenter was born in 1868
and was reared in Columbus Junction

The improvement will extend from Chi

double tracked or the old line be used az
an extra track remains to be decided.
But the Great Western is preparing to

A COMMON TROUBLE.
Thousands Suffer From II Without

gan to be looked after
Nervous dyspeptics often do not have
any pain whatever in the stomach, nor
perhaps any of the usual symptoms OF
stomach weakness. Nervous dyspepsia
shows itself not in the stomach so much
az in nearly every other organ; in some
cases the heart palpitates and is irregu-
lar; in others, the kidneys are affected;
in others, the bowels are troubled, with
loss of flesh and appetite, with the accu-
mutation Of gas, sour risings and heart
burn.

Atlantic, Dec. 18-At a meeting Of
the republican county central committee
in Atlantic a set of primary election
rules has been adopted and Cass county
republicans will hereafter name their
candidates for county Office, delegates
to the state, congressional and judicial
convention, also the members of the
county central committee by direct vote
instead of thru the old delegate conven-
ton plan.
The rule governing Cass county pri-
maries is copied from the many now in
use in other counties, the best points Of
several different sets of rules being
adopted, while several new features Of
an original nature are added. 1t is
thought by the party leaders thruout
the county that the primary system will
add much strength to the party in the
county and will assure such nominees as
the rank and file Of the party will sup
port and prevent such general wholesale
scratching Of tickets as the party has
had to contend with for several years
owing to the combinations made in the
conventions and the nominating of can
didates who could not poll the party
vote at the election.

10 EXAMINE RECORDS

Eldora. Dec 1S.-The recent action OF
the board OF supervisors of this county
in passing a resolution to employ ex-
pert accountants to examine the records
and work of the various county officers
gan is causing almost as much talk and
excitement as the tax ferret resolution.
A telephone message received yesterday
from member of the board stated that
Skinner and Hedges had been employed
at a salary of Sc day each. These are
the men who made an examination of
storm among the newspapers of the
state and with what result? Just one
official was indicted and there is but
little doubt as to the final outcome of
this case. 1t is estimated that il will
take the experts six months to the work
here at an expense of $1,000 to $4,000
The question arises who will pay this
money?
If the board expect to pay this out
If they attempt to pay it out of the
county funds, where do they get their
authority for suc;Saxpen61ture? Surely
not in the code. There is but little
doubt but what in case the board at
tempt to pay this expense out of the
county funds and injunction Will be
served to restrain payment and the
matter will be taken into court.
1t now appears that the county Off
Gals did not petition the board to pass
such resolution. but that the resolu
ton was passed and the auditor then
asked certain officials if they were will
ing to have such an examination made.
The officials had no objections, but the
tax payers object to this useless ex-
penditure of money to investigate Off
Gals who have never had the shadow
of suspicion as to their honesty and ca
pability raised. A general remark Is:
If any one thinks there is anything
wrong or crooked let all such get to-
gether and raise the money to pay for
such an examination and let the ex
perts be employed by the men who are
prosecuting the search, instead of hav
ing the interested parties do the hiring
and pay for same out of county funds.
1t seems as tho the board and their
advisers are like the Irishman who ev
cry time he opened his mouth got his
foot into 1t.
The final outcome will be awaited
with the greatest interest by tax pay
ers and officials.
