SCARCITY OF FUEL.
Houses With Stoves in Demand by
Varsity Students.
Special to Times-Republican.

Special to Times RepuDucan.
Iowa City, Dec. 16.-Houses with
stoves are in great demand by the stu
dents of the University of Iowa. There
is very nearly a coal famine in Iowa
City and the landlords who have fur
naces in their houses find it hard to Sc
cure enough coal to burn. The high
price, moreover, conduces to economy
and while the students are not being
frozen, they sometimes believe that
they are being brought nearer to the
freezing point than they desire to go
in an experimental way. Hence the
rush for the houses where wood stoves
can be kept going by the students
themselves.
A rumor found currency at the uni
versity yesterday that the coal supply
of the university would last only until
Friday and that the Christmas vacation
would begin two days earlier on that
account The story caused great re-
ioicing among the students. who regret
being kept until two days before
Christmas. The rumor proves without
a basis, however, as the university has
q large supply of coal on hand and con-
tracts for much more, so that only in
terrupted railroad communication for
month could cause shutdown for
lack OF fuel

FROM ALL OVER IOWA.

Six men wait at the end of the tie
shute and lay them as they come down
the rollers. Two men straighten them,
one marks the position of the coming
rail and eight men put the rail in
place. 1t is fastened by couple of
clamps and the train moves on over
it to another thirty foot of rail. AT
the rear end of the machine train and
supplies come the 'spilking gang" or
the men who spike the rails to the ties.
This track laying machine is one of the
greatest inventions of the age and one
must see it to realize how perfectly it
works.
Clarion.
A short time ago the town council
thru the proper officers certified UP
a large number Of small accounts to
the county auditor who entered them
upon the tax books as liens against
the property to which they We're as

walks which had been constructed by
the town but by far the greater num-
Der We're for shoveling snow from the
sidewalks. There is a town law re-
quiring sidewalks to be kept clear of
snow and making it the duty of the
city marshal to see that they are
kept clear and after twenty-four hours
of neglect to have them cleared at the
towns expense and report the amounts
thus expended to the council who as
sesses said amounts against the abut-
/ ting property and it will confront the
owner as part of his taxes.
Traer.
Here is an Illustration Of how big
trees from little acorns grow, says the
STAR Clipper: Some ten years ago
Fred. Nash was working for Sam
Everett. He had one of Sans teams
out for a drive when the horses ran
away, demolished the buggy and killed
one horse. Everett sued Nash and
/ got 9 verdict for SIS. Fred's mother
and he together gave note for the
amount. The debt was not paid, suit
was brought and judgment obtained.
Later the Nash property was sold at
| sheriff's sale to satisfy the debt. The
matter has dragged along in the courts
until now that Sanford Nash, who in
herited the property from his mother,
! is dead, settlement will no doubt be
effected. 1t is said the $40 debt now
amounts to about $1,000, or all the
property is worth If not more, and 1t Is
doubtful II there will be enough to pay
Sanfords funeral expenses

CLEW TO TUMAN CASE.
Authorities at Muscatine Following
New Lead in Murder Mystery.

New Lead in Murder Mystery.
Special to Tires publican.
Muscatine, Dec. ia slight clew
that may lead to developments in the
famous Tuman murder case has been
unearthed. The rumor is to the effect
that John Milhorn was the man who
told Earl Wright and Ernest Judson
that Jesse Tuman was Ill on that event
full Saturday afternoon after which
they went to the lonely Tuman cottage
in the deep woods and made the ghast-
ly find. There was little excitement
over the affair, but it was not generally
discussed until yesterday. The story is
said to have been circulated by Cross,
the former husband of Mrs. Tuman. He
told yesterday to some of his confidants
that he had found the man who told the
boys that Jesse Tuman was Ill.
He gave as informant man named
Bill Conversion, who is said to have been
intimate with John Milhorn. Milhorn
is said to be button cutter and has
been making his home here for some
time, but this is not his permanent
place of residence. 1t is said that in
some manner Cross succeeded In get
ting the information from Conversion.
The matter spread and in a short time
Sheriff Stuart heard of it. Thinking
that 1t might "go UP in smoke" but
nevertheless anxious to get any clue
that will throw light upon the mystery,
which has been puZzling him for
months, he commenced to make an in
vestigation. When seen by a reporter
he said that the Milhorn he was looking
for and who had been engaged at cut
ting buttons in the factories of this city,
was missing and that he had not To-
Gated him. He also said that he thought
he had gone across into Illinois and
made his escape in that way. He said
that he believed that Milhorn had some
relatives over there.
Sheriff Stuart received word Sunday
night from Burlington to the effect that
a man answering the description of
Williams, the supposed murderer of Mr..
and Mrs. Jesse Tuman, had been ar
rested at that place, The information
states that the man answers the de-
scription of Williams in every detail
with the exception of the hair, which is
claimed not to be as gray as that of
Williams The officers are holding him
until man can be sent to Identify him.
Henry Brimm, who is said to have been
well acquainted with Williams, will be
sent to that place to identify him.
Sheriff Stuart is of the opinion that
this is not the man, but will look after
the matter, however.

Meetings are being conducted in the M.

Rev. G. l.. Barker, of New Jersey, who
came one week ago by invitation of thu

filed nightly and large congregations
come to listen to the gospel from the
lips of the man from the Atlantic coast.
Sunday morning the church was filled
to the doors when Mr.. Barker preached
wonderful sermon on "Consecration."
In the afternoon large audience o.
men listened to the evangelist when he
spoke to men only on sowing wild oats
1t was the c1eanest talk ever given to
men. The meetings will continue all
the week. Mr.. Barker is a forcible
speaker, clean. clear cut, void of any
thing of sensational nature, but a

GAINESVILLE.
A wire was received Tuesday from

Mrs. Rebecca Durham, of this place,
and stating that the remains would
be brought here for burial. Mrs. Dun

that the trip and the climatic changes

| The city of Fairfield owns and oper-
ates a water system which has cost
about 100000, with perhaps five miles
of mains. 1t furnishes an abundant
supply of water, and it is said to be
the best for steam purposes on the line

ways, with the exception of that from

sustaining. The city also owns and
operates an electric plant for the light

treasury of $4,000 to $4,000. This in
debtedness is on account of water

1904. Fairfield had a population in 1900

from the office. Brown was later i'm
peached by the house and tried by the
senate. After long trial he was ae-
quilted and was reinstated. He was
suspended March 10, 1885, and was not
reinstated until January %. the follow
ing year. April 10, 1886, Brown was
again suspended and Charles Beardsley
appointed to take his place. Brown was
again reinstated July IA, 1885, and
served until his term ended in January,

that he did not account to the treasury
for fees eXacted of insurance COM
panies for examinations, that he had
permitted an insolvent bank to transact
business in consideration of a bride and
that he had been otherwise irregular in
the conduct of his office.

from Sioux City to Guthrie Center via

way from Audubon to Manning, If 1T
can be purchased at the right price, it
will give them good start. The Chi
cago & Northwestern is also expecting

WOOD FAMINE AT JEsUP.
Scarcity of Fuel Forces Citizens t

Jesup, Dee. 16.-This place is in the
throes of a wood famine. No hard coal
has reached here this winter and the
supply of soft coal is low The source
of our wood supply is principally the
Wapsie forests twelve miles north, and
the farmers up that way have neglected
to cut wood while their time could be
better spent in making 80 cent butter,
raising hens to lay rs cent eggs, filling
the soil to bring forth SO ton hay
2S cent oats and 80 cent corn. As re-
suit of this rural prosperity the resi-
dents of this place are up against
hard proposition. A farmer brought in
a load of wood couple of days ago as
a special favor, parceling it out among
four friends. Some of our citizens are
In such straits that they have burned
their fences some have levied on pieces
of old sidewalk and even some are
thinking of incinerating their old fur
niture. The rallying cry is, "Give us
wood or we perish"
