wREckAGE WAS GREAT.
Demolished Cars Not Cleared Away on
Northwestern Until Today.

Special to Times Republican.
Cedar Rapids, Sept. 24.-It was not
until late this morning that the
wreckage of the Northwestern freight
cars ditched near Bertram Monday
night were cleared away so that the
south track could be used. The wreck
occurred just at the edge Of the bridge
over Indian creek and the cars piled
up in the creek bed until it was COM
pletely filled. Being situated as they
We're and piled and twisted together
it was an extremely difficult to raise
them with the wreckers. 1t was neces-
sary to drive pilings under the bridge
to strengthen it while the work OF
clearing the wreck away was in pro-
gross. While the work was going on
it was necessary to use but one track
between Mt. Vernon and Bertram and
this delayed to some extent all passing
trains.

MADE MARSHAL QUIT
Charles City Marshal Beat Drunken
Prisoner and Indignant Citizens Com
PEELED Him to .Resisn-Mar Was Toe
Drunk for Trial.

Special to Times Republican.
Charles City, Sept. "a. - Charles
Hoeft, a mason by trade, got beastly
drunk Monday afternoon and brutally
choked and mistreated his wife until
she was forced to give up to him a
purse of $40 which kind relatives had
given her to pay the expenses of con-
siderable sickness in the family. He
was arrested and brought before Squire
Dennis for trial, but was so drunk that
the Judge ordered him taken to jail to
sober off. Marshal Perry attempted to
execute the order, but upon reaching
the sidewalk Hoeft became very violent,
kicking, striking and using very OBJ
scene language, and refusing to go with
the officers. In the tussle which ensued
he was thrown to the ground and the
marshal choked him and placed his
hand over his eyes whilst attempts
ing to get his handouts. This caused
interference and criticism by some of
the bystanders, prominent among whom
was Chef Winterink, who declared that
the man should be taken to jail without
brutality. The marshal succeeded in
putting the handouts on the prisoner
and landing him in Jail. The event
aroused much public Indignation with
people who saw brutal tussle, bur
knew nothing of Hoeft and his cussed-
ness.
{ Tuesday morning Mayor Lackey and
Marshal Perry had a conference over
the matter, in which the marshal ex-
pressed the opinion that it would be
Eetter all around If he would resign.
The mayor seemed to be of the same
opinion and virtually invited him to re-
sign as we understand it. Whereupon,
Mr.. Perry went to his office. wrote out
his resignation and gave it to the may
or, who promptly accepted the resigna-
ton.
Hoeft wac brought before Justice
Dennis Tuesday morning, who ordered
that he should be taken before Judge
Smith In order that he might determine
whether this person was not a proper
subject to be confined under the inc
briate act.
In the afternoon Judge Smith gave
the matter of G. Hoeft hearing and
after listening to all the testimony. or
dered that he be confined in the Mount
Pleasant insane asylum for the period
of one wear.

There is no doubt but that there will
be considerable soft corn this fall in
northern Iowa, which means that there
will be more cattle fed than in former
years and less corn shipped out, says

erage of s25 per head.

cans, and as the corn was in good con-
dition, none too hard, the goods are

Since the frost there has been al.
kinds of talk on the condition of the
corn crop, but the majority of farmers
seem to be of the opinion that there
will be almost an average crop of
sound corn. OF course if the frost had
not come until the first of October we
would have been blessed with one of
the largest crops of corn harvested in
years, but we are all thankful 1t has
turned out as well as it has, says the

Council Bluffs:
Grapes of the best varieties are a
luxury this year. The vineyards OF
this vicinity and in fact of any part
of the country have not been so pro-
life this year as usual and as a re-
suit the fruit of the genus Wits will
be almost an absent quantity on the
pantry shelf of the housewife this
winter. The grape crop in this part OF
the country is not more than a half
crop this year. 1t is said by those in
terested in the culture of this fruit that
the crop this year is the shortest for
many seasons. The shortness in the
crop is due largely to the incessant
rains of the summer. The grape is a
plant that requires great deal OF
sunshine, and hot weather, and these
have not been evident to a very great
extent in the climate of the past sum-
mer. The apple crop here is almost
as short as the grape crop. There have
been practically no apples raised in the
near vicinity of Council Bluffs this
year, out quite a number of the Ne
braska orchards have produced heavily.
A big shipment of southern Nebraska
apples was received yesterday at the
headquarters of the grape growers as
ISOLATION, and are selling from $3.50 to
50 per barrel.

with the special correspondent of the
Louisville Courier-Journal (Henry
Watterson's newspaper Horace Boies
declared that he could almost stand
upon the tariff plank in the republican
platform, the only difference being that
he was more radical. Mr.. Boies

Miss Sarah Wool Moore. who taught
state university a few years ago. is the
secretary of the New York society for
the prevention of cruelty to Italians.
Most of the hard usage which the Ital-
ians have suffered from i'm this country
has been inflicted upon them by that
class of their own countrymen called
padrones.
The padrones advance an Italian
emigrant his fare across the Atlantic.
The emigrant, i'm return, agrees to
work for the padrone a certain time at
a specified rate per day, only slightly
in advance of the wages he receives in
Italy For instance, IL the fare is sixty
dollars the emigrant agrees to work for
the padrone for three months at seven
ty-five cents a day. or course, the
emigrant must take out enough from
the seventy-five cents a day to feed
have one Under these circumstances
the emigrant's bondage is frequently
prolonged to a period of more than a
year. He can not speak the English
language. The padrone hires him in a
gang with other newly arrived dumb

Miss Moore has written an Italian
English grammar for the use of the
Italian emigrant. 1t is a small book of
lis pages. 1t is characterized by
chOicely grouped vocabularies. The
book is written for the Italian laborer
and, instead of taking words from all
departments of activity representing
ideas of use TO more intellectual peo-
pie, she has selected for the immediate
attention of her proteges the words
they must either know or run the
chance of being cheated by one of their
rapaciOus countrymen. The first les
sons are devoted to ordinary occupa-
lions and the utensils belonging to
them. Lesson second, The Gardener
is preceded by a picture of a group of
gardening tools: wheelbarrow. a
lawn-mower and a sprinkling not sur
rounding rose, tree and pumpkin.
The third lesson is on the body. The
picture contains portions of the BODY
and whole little boy and girl. Other
lessons and pictures illustrate the
blacksmith, the stone-cutter, the gar
dener. the kitchen with tools pertaining
to each, ct cetera.

Europe and he has to be taught that
what the Italians call un uomo we call
a man. When once the peasant has
comprehended the idea of two words
for the same thing he has taken per-
cephble step in advance and towards
freedom. The exercises for translation
are especially adapted to the use of
the primitive Italian and to guard him
from the trickery SO often practiced
on the ignorant and foreign.
Tony worked every day for a pa
drone. He worked by the day and the
boss paid him every two weeks. The
boss gave him the money in an envel-

because every laborer had a number.
And below the number was written the
amount of money which the boss owed
Tony as wages. Tony worked hard and
faithfully. Every morning at seven
O'Clock he was at his place with his
pick. his crow-bar and his shovel. and
no man in the ditch dug faster. At
noon Tony rested for one hour. He
ate his lunch and often he sang a song
which was as sad as it was sweet:

the afternoon.
