gathered together in one conglomerate

tribute few broken bones. NO
corpses could be added to the football
morgue from this section and none OF
The fifteen deaths could be attributed
to Iowa football. This may be due to
some charm which protects the play
ers of the game in this state or 1t may
be that Iowa colleges put up cleaner
game than others. Be that as 1T may.
there are in this county alone several
crippled young men nursing injuries
more or less serious and in other parts

The w. c. T. u. of Waterloo has

GREAT WESTERNS TROUBLES.
Finding Difficulty in Securing Grounds
at Council Bluffs.


Council Bluffs, Dec. 4.-The chicago
Great Western is having considerable
trouble in securing terminal grounds in
Council Bluffs for the new Fort Dodge
Omaha extension. Other roads entering
Council Bluffs have endeavored to block
the c. G. W., and litigation is likely.
1t is announced that the company has
expended $4,000 in purchasing and
securing options on Council Bluffs
property during the past few months.
The fight is with the Wabash road,
which owns the property the Great
Western is anxious to secure for ter
minals. The Great Western now holds
options on all the ground surrounding
the Wabash depot and yards. They
recently applied to the Iowa railroad
commission to have condemned a por-
ton of the Wabash companys grounds
upon which the depot is located. The
Wabash company secured an injunction
preventing the railroad commissioners
from acting in the matter.
The Great Western has also applied
to the interstate railway commission to
compel the Union Pacific to allow them
the use of the iatters bridge across the
Missouri. This matter is now pending

Eldora. Dec. 4-The annual meeting
of the Hardin County Agricultural so
cietv was held at the court room yes
terday. The reports of the secretary

The treasurer's report showed that the
last of the Indebtedness of the society
had been paid and the society now
owns its grounds and buildings free
from all debt, the first time in the his
tory of the society in it's present loca-
ton. The matter of charging the
present grand stand and erecting ad-
ditional building was discussed at some
length but left for the board OF dl-
rectors to decide at their meeting IN
January. The excellent management
of the fair by it's officers and CO.

C. e. Greet was elected delegate to
attend the annual meeting of the var
ious secretaries of the county and dis
trict fairs to be held at Des Moines,
Dec. 9. One of the important matters
to come before this meeting will be
an effort of the officers of the various
fairs to agree upon a schedule of dates
for holding the fairs so that fairs in
the same part of the state may not
be held at the same time. Such an
arrangement would insure b ter ex-
hibits, more entries in stock and speed
departments and better attendance.

The date of the execution is Dec. Is,
