The sheriff's fee bill got thru the sem
ate as substitute which covers al
most the same ground as the house bill
and will be satisfactory to the sheriffs.
But the senate spent an entire day on
this bill which was called up by Girls
void early because he supposed 1t would
go thru without any question.
A committee of the house today re-
ported to that body q bill in the mat
ter of regulation of osteopathy which IS
said to suit majority of those who are
engaged in osteopathy in Iowa, put
which, If it becomes a law. Will materl-
ally increase the standing OF the pro-
fession and remove many complaints
which have been made. The osteopaths
asked for law creating an osteopthy
board 70 issue certificates to osteopaths
as such on which they could practice
medicine. AS an alternative they asked
that an osteopath be placed on the
state board of health. The bill report
ed out today requires that the present
state board of medical examiners shall
issue certificates to osteopaths who
have at least twenty months study in
an osteopathy school, and who have
passed an examination in all the sci
ences required for doctors in Iowa. The
bill contemplates that In all respects
osteopaths must be qualified to dag
nose diseases and be competent to prac-
tice medicine. The diplomas of osteop-
athy colleges will be recognized only
for the one branch of osteopathy. If
any bill gets thru it will be this one, for
it was unanimously recommended.
A bread bill will be considered by the
Iowa legislature. 1t is practically the
Delaware law, and provides for one
pound loaves of bread under penalty OF
s25 fine If the loaves do not weigh up
to the limit.
The most that can be hoped for In an
appropriation for the st. Louis expo
sition for an Iowa exhibit Is $l5O,O0O.
The house appropriations committee
has recommended this, and 1T is more
probable that the amount will be cut to
500, 900. Members of the Legislature
believe this will be all that the state can
afford to give, inasmuch as 1t will in
crease a clear debt of the state. The
same committee has approved Of Il bill
to provide for 100000 for completing
the east wing of the state historical
building in Des Moines, the same to be
paid out of the refund on war claims
after 100000 has been paid for an ar
senal building. Thus the arsenal
building is to take precedence over the
historical building.

Peculiar Transaction BY Which Britt
Firm Was Defrauded Out Of Over
s12,oOo-ouestion Of Liability at Is
sue.
.cial to Times.Republican.

Special to Times Republican.
Britt, March 2a.-The Schriver Bros,
a firm of extensive cattle dealers OF
Britt, Ia, recently got into complicaz
ton in handling twelve loads of cattle.
of which the facts are as follows:
On the 9th of February, 1902. one E.
S. Barnes, Of Denison, Iowa, bought
four carloads of cattle at Havelock, Ia,
agreeing to Pay for the same $4,000, and
sight draft on the Bank Of Denison
was drawn for said amount. The
Schriver brothers. not desiring to take
any chances on the draft being hon.
ored, refused to accept the draft until
they received word from the bank on
which the sight draft was drawn. Be-
fore delivering the cattle they received
a telegram purporting to be signed by
the Bank Of Denison saying that the
bank would honor Barnes draft for
$500, and the cattle were then deliy-
cred.
Again, on March IA, 1902. the same
Barnes bought nine carloads of cattle
of Schriver Rrcs agreeing to pay for
the same $4,000, and made a check for
said amount orr the Bank of Den.son.
Schriver Bros. again, in order to pro-
tect themselves, refused to ship the cat
tie until they received word from the
bank on which the check was made
that same would be paid, and before
shipping the same they received .ele-
gram purporting to be signed by the
Bank of Denison that they would honor
the Barnes check for $4,000. and the
cattle were Their shipped.
On March 10, Schriver Bros. received
notice Of protest of the drafts and i'm
mediately, accompanied by their attor-
ney, John A. Se.nneff, of Britt, went to
Denison, and upon Investigating the
facts found that the kilograms pur-
porting to be signed by the Bank OF
Denison were in fact forgeries; that
the same had been telephoned to the
operator at Denison by some person
unknown.
After having thoroughly gone over
the situation they went to Omaha,
where the cattle had been shipped by
Barnes, but found that same had been
disposehd of and the proceeds were be-
yond reach.
Barnes has been arrested and is now
in Jail at Denison, and Schriner Bros
have brought action against the West
ern Union Telegraph Company for $12,-
500 on the ground that the company
by it's agent, was grossly negligent in
transmitting messages, bearing on their
face such Importance, without first as
certaining by whom they We're sent.
Their attorney, John A. Senneff, upon
being interviewed. expresses the opin-
ion that there is no hope for the tele-
graph company to escape liability.
The amount, tho large. will not serl-
ously affect the Schriver Bros, as they
have the implicit confidence of the peo-
pie in their community, and with whom
they do business, and also have ample
means with which to go on with their
business as before.
The case is one which will be
watched with considerable interest be-
cause of the novel question and the
large amount involved.
