WITH HER SICK MARINES
The Panther Reaches Hampton
Roads, Where They Get Attention.


Newport News, Va, Dec. THE
United States steamship Panther,
Commander ]. C. Wilson, reached
Hampton Roads from Colon to-day,
bringing the fever-stricken marines
who have been protecting the railroad
property on the isthmus for more than
a month.
Aboard the vessel were $50 men.
Thirty~four of them, of whom two are
officers, were taken to the naval hospi-
tai at Portsmouth Immediately on the
Panther's arrival. These cases are un-
derstood to be serious. The other
stricken marines are not very Ill, and
they will be granted shore leave until
they can recuperate.
Orders from Washington are await
led. The Panther had an extremely
rough voyage up from San Juan,
whence she sailed last Monday after
noon. The storm delayed her arrival
about two days and made the sick ma
rines more miserable.

Information has come to the state Of
ficials that there is quarreling in Des
Moines county over distribution of the
funds which the governor has allowed
for paying for the return home to
Burlington of one Bishop, an alleged
defaulter, who is under arrest in Eng
land. 1t has been figured out in Bur-
lington that the man who goes after
the accused person will get about $1,000
from the state treasury while in fact
the trip will cost much less. The man
first selected to do the job failed and
another has been sent. But it Is Gus
tomary in such cases. especially where
large sums are involved, to compel
the claimants to make showing Of
actual expenses on the journey and not
to pay out indiscriminately. This plan
will be followed in the present case.

BANKER AND MONEY GONE.
II. e. Christensen Believed to Have
Absconded With $4,000.


Special to Times Republican.
Council Bluffs, Oct. 30.-The depos-
itors of the Farmers and Mechanics
bank, private institution at Sharps-
burg, in Taylor county, are in con-
siderable state of excitement. The
president of the bank. II. E. Christen-
sen, is out of town and has been since
Sunday. 1t Is said he took $4,000 to
$4,000 with him and that by far the
greater part of the money belonged TO
the depQsitors. He told the cashier. ;.
L. Bundy, that in order to get a higher
rating for his bank he had been re-
.quested to take the money to Omaha
and make showing. He left Sharps-
burg some time before noon Sunday.
drove to the main line of the Burling-

heard from him.

the bank, was heavy deposttor. as
was also his father-in law. NJ. II. Glenn,

besides his wife babe but one month
old. Christensen has been in the town
about six months, coming from Scott
City, Kansas. He is said to have had
good habits and was generally well
liked. Sheriff McGinnis, of Bedford
left late last evening for Omaha where
he will make an effort to get some trace
of the missing man.
A meeting Of the depositors was held
and steps were taken to realize on their
deposits and at the same time to get

decide them to have been true, as the
defendant contended they were.
After quoting from the magazine ar
ticle, Cali of Victor Herberts written
to order comic operas are pure and
simple plagiarisms," the justice said:
THAT is libelous statement in it
self; 1t is libelous unless proved true,
and the burden of proving that Is on
the defendant in this case"
In considering the amount of dam
ages said the justice. the jury must
consider the injured feelings of the
composer. If the criticisms of the mu-
steal magazine were found untrue. then
he should give Herbert enough dam
ages for what he had suffered. II it
was found that the criticisms in the ar
ticle had been malicious libels, then the
jury must add enough compensation to
act as deterrent, which would prevent
the libeler from repeating his offense.
AS to the question of malice, it must
be taken into consideration that the
plaintiff had demanded aretraction of
the magazine, but the latter, instead of
retraction. had repeated Its unfavor-
able assertions.
Mr. Blumenberg's lawyers moved for
new trial. This was denied. The
lawyers have sixty days in which to
take an appeal to the appellate division
OF the supreme court.

IN MID STREAM
Waterloo May Settle the Library Loea.
tion Question.
~ d

Special to Times Repubilcan.
Waterloo. Oct. %. A movement
which will bring joy to Waterloo if it
succeeds and which, by the Elserest
which has developed In IT so far gives
great promise of a successful culmina-
ton, is now well under way, looking to
a satisfactory settlement of the public
library question.
This movement has been carried for
ward by friends of the library who are
favorable to the location Of the build
ing In the middle of the river. believing
such a solution Of the problem would
eliminate all present objections and
that the building would prove not only
a credit to the city, but an ornament
of which all could be proud.
It is said the committee of the coun-
Gil and citizens recently named by
Mayor Martin have been giving the
question considerable thought and that
they have decided on the mid river site
below the Fourth street bridge as the
most suitable. 1t is said engineers have
Investigated the matter and that they
claim the erection of the building is
feasible. It could be placed on a found
alton made by extending the two CEN
ter piers Of the bridge. Such founda-
ton would not be expensive, and the
engineers say 1t would have no more
influence on choking the channel OF the
river than the piers have at present.
The committee is now engaged In
securing details of the proposition and
will doubtless put the same before the
city council as soon as practicable.
