SUBCOMMITTEE Is NAMED.
Senate Takes Steps toward Railway
LEGISLATION.

Des Moines, Feb. 4.-For the first
time since the general assembly open
ed there are visible symptoms OF
movement toward the reform OF the
railway assessment laws. At meet
ing of the senate ways and means
committee yesterday afternoon the
subject was brought up by Senator
Healy. He called attention to the
fact that the outgoing and incoming
governors had pointed out defects in
the present laws on railway assess
ments and that Lieutenant Governor
Herriott had done the same thing.
He said that whatever was done ought
to emanate from the senate ways
and means committee, and motion
he made to consider the subject was
adopted.
Senator Healy said further he had
nothing prepared to submit on the
subject and suggested it be referred
to a subcommittee to investigate and
report to the main committee. Chair
man Junkin to be at the head. This
plan was carried out and the sub
committee selected, in addition to
Junllin, consists of Senators Healy.
Lewis and Porter. It is under
stood this subcommittee will make
an inquiry into the need of changes
in the railway assessment laws, and
if they find such necessities exist they
will lay them before the main COM
mittee Out of this may grow the
drafting of committee bill making
reforms in railway assessments.

Des Moines, Feb. 4.-Upon the adj
option of a resolution submitted by
Alderman Dorr to the city council,
sitting as the .oard OF health, Mayor
Hartenbower and committee com
posed of Alderman Dorr, Brereton ana
Hanger have been empowered to en-
ploy "a physicians to enforce com

posed to smallpox. It is further or.
dered by the city that the pupils OF ali

expenses Of quarantine assessed
against them. If more assistance
than that arranged for is needed, it
is the intention to add to the force as

WANTS TIE COMMON LAW.
Hartman Has a ELL Which is Likely
to Meet With Opposition.

TO mGSI WIFI oFPS-HtS'
Des Moines. Feb. Ex-senator Har
riman has introduced bill proposing
to change the law relating to the con-
troll of surface water. senator Hse-
riman wants the civil law which now
governs this matter in Iowa, changed
to the common law, and means to
take a firm stand for such change.
His measure, he admits may meet with
oppostion. but he thinks 1t is right
At present the civil law governing the
disposition of surface water makes II
impossible for the owner OF any lana
to drain it's surface in sucn a manner
that it will be to the detriment OF
neighbor's property. That is, he Is
not allowed to make the drainage IN
such a way that the water will empty
onto adjoining land beyond his own
boundaries.
Senator Hartman wants this law
changed to what is known S the com
mon law, that any owner OF property
may drain the surface in manner to
suit his own convenience, even though
it may be to carry such surface water
onto the land of another. He has OBJ
tanned information regarding the
states which now have the common
law Oh this subject. and has number
of arguments which he considers over
whelmingly in favor of the bill: Among
the states which now have the law
which Senator Hartman is seeking
to get for Iowa, are Connecticut. .lnd1-
ana. Kansas, Name, Massachusetts.
New Hampshire, New York, Rhode
Island, Vermont and Wisconsin. The
measure will unqestionably meet with
onrosition. It was referred to the
committee on public lands.

American Army Horse Expert.
London, Feb. 5.-In the house of
commons Major Arthur Lee (conser-
vative, formerly British attacne with
the United States army during the
Spanish-American war. and later Brit
ish attache at Washington said Great
Britain had been offered the services
of the CHIEF horse expert of the United
States army, as adviser in the pur-
chase of American horses for the Brit
Isl army.
The revelation was made during a
heated debate on the remount ques-
ton, when Major Lee said:
''The accredited representative of
the war Office, Colonel Wardrop, the
attache at Vienna, was given no op-
portunity of showing what knowledge
he possessed of the resources Of the
country, in the same way I, being mill
tary attache at Washington, was not
informed that there was any intention
OF buying horses in the United States.
I learned from the American news
papers that, British officers had been
sent to buy horses, but was not in
formed who they were, nor was I
asked to give them such assistance
as my position implied that I was
competent to give. At the time l had

vices OF the chief horse expert of the
