HOGAN CASE DISMISSED
AND ALSO THE HEADINGTON CASE
The September Term of the District Court
Rapidly Clearing the Docket at
the Court House.

The regular September term OF the
district court for Winnesheik county
opened at the court house on Monday
afternoon, Judge L. E. Fellows pre-
siding. Upon examination of the
docket he found that it contained
twenty criminal causes, eighty three
old causes and thirty-nine new causes,
besides fifty matters in probate court,
making in all total of one hundred
and ninety-two causes In criminal
matters three are only two cases of
Importance, being the retrial of the
case of the state VS. John Hogan for
burglary, sent back by the Supreme
Court of the state, and the state VS.
Herb Headington, for assault with
intent to commit great bodily injury.
On Monday the time was taken up
with the calling of the criminal and
probate dockets. In criminal matters
the case of the state VS.. Hogan was
called, and it developed that the state
had failed to secure the witnesses for
its side, who are living in Minnesota
and Wisconsin, to come to Iowa, they
having refused. AS the case depend
ed upon the testimony of these wit
nesses, it was dismissed and John
Hogan discharged This was the
famous burglary case, in which four
were charged with the crime, and
three others are now serving sentence.
The Supreme Court sent Hogan's case
back for retrial on an error in the
former trial, and the above is the
result Also in the case against Herb
Headington for assault with intent to
commit great bodily injury the prose-
cutting witness was absent in South
Dakota, and this case. like the other,
was dismissed. In the probate court
a contest in the matter of the will of
the late S. o. Wilson has been insti-
tuted by one of the heirs. The law
docket was opened yesterday and the
case of Kewley VS.. Kinney called, a
jury being secured before the close of
court. This case is being tried today.

MR.. TESLA'S LATEST.

NICOLA TESLA believes there is
~ enough power going to waste in
the air to run ali the factories, the
railroad and steamship and other
transportation lines in the world.
Moreover, Mr.. Tesla declares he has
found a method of utilizing this power
and of transmitting it without wires
to any who desire it
The inventor says that he will soon
be able to run railroad trains at rate
of 100 miles an hour without half try
ing, and he hopes to cut down the
time between New York and Liverpool
TO about three days. He is not making
public any of his plans just now, but
expects 10 give out a complete an
nouncement before very long. Recent
~ he said
by means of the current which will
DC sent between the different stations
I viii be able to draw power for almost
any purpose. That we win be able to
get force with which TO operate rail-
roads and steamships from currents
passing through the air between power
houses. you can say is an assured fact.
All my experiments so far have proved
successful and / am devoting all my
time now toward getting things on a
working basis.
My plans have passed away beyond
the merely speculative stage, and in a
very short while will be in thorough
working order. The whole idea, in a
nutshell, is simply an extension of the
plan TO send wireless telegraph mes
sages."
This sounds like very big talk, but,
In this day of wonderful inventions and
wonderful Improvements OF old ideas.
he is brave indeed who says anything.
is impossible.
Perhaps Mr.. Tesla has solved the
problem of cheap and rapid transpor-
tation. If he has he will deserve TO
rank among the greatest of the twen-
ueth century inventors. Electrical
transmission for railroad trains and
steamers means. not only speed. but
cleanliness and comfort. With ocean
going vessels it means a vast saving
In space, for the room which is now
occupied by coal bunkers can be utiI-
lied for some other purpose.
The railroads will be free from the
soft coal SCOT ard cinders, and travel
VIII be made more luxurious than ever
before. For the sake of the great pub-
lie it is to be hoped that Mr.. Tesla has
not overstated the possibilities of his
invention.

MR.. MEAD THE MAN.

THERE ARE INDICATIONS Of jeal-
Ousy between the agricultural and
the interior departments on the ques-
ton of national irrigation. Both
branches of the government desire to
supervise the expenditure of the money
provided for at the last session of con-
gress, and it is feared that the pre-
liminary work may be seriously nam
pered because of this fact.
All friends of irrigation win earnest
- hope that the promised friction will
not occur. Speaking for the people
who know Elwood Mead, irrigation ex-
pert in the agricultural department,
The Herald is willing to say that he
would receive their unanimous en-
dorsement. Mr.. Mead is absolutely
without a peer in the science of irriga-
ton, especially such irrigation as the
west win require. He has made life
study of the subject and he knows it
thoroughly.
Above and beyond that, Mr.. Mead is
a thoroughly honest man. There is not
the slightest doubt that any money ex-
pended under his jurisdiction would be
honestly expended, and that absolutely
no favoritism would be shown in the
selection of places to begin operations.
Up to this time the interior department
has had full sway in the matter. While
no doubt exists as 10 the integrity of
the interior department officials, ii
cannot be denied that no man in the
department is as well qualified as is
Mr.. Mead to look after irrigation The
Herald feels that the question is of
such vital Importance to Utah that ii
cannot refrain from urging the selec-
ton of Mr. Mead to take the work in
charge.
On the success or failure of the pre-
liminary plans depends the future of
irrigation under national control. The
importance, therefore, of having them
in charge of a tried expert is obvious.
1t is to be most sincerely hope1 that
Mr.. Mead will be given charge of the
work.
