THREE RAILROADS INDICTED.
Charge Of Conspiracy Brought A9sips'
Lines Reaching Waterloo.

Waterloo. Oct. Indictments were
found by the grand jury yesterday
against the Chicago. Rock Island &
Pacific, the Chicago Great Western and
the Illinois Central railroads on the
charge of conspiracy.
The cases are brought to test the
new demurrage rules which the com,
panies have Jointly had in force In
Iowa since August /, and II is claimed
that under the state law which for
bids corporations TO combine for the
purpose of fixing the price OF COM
modities the railways can be held
liable. On August / the railways put
in force in Waterloo, as elsewhere In
the state. a rule by which shippers
were to charged 81 per day for each
day in excess of forty-eight hours that
a loaded car was held from the com
pany.
Much complaint has been heard from
the heaviest shippers as to the In,
justice Of the ruling and the matter
was brought to the attention OF the
grand jury last week on complaint OF
& Merrill, lumber and coal dealers OF
Cedar Falls. A charge Of IS for the
holding of car beyond the forty-eight
hours limit was made against this
firm. The system of charging for cars
detained is patterned after the Illinois
car service rules. The question is one
of wide interest ana the decision will
have effect not only in Iowa but in
other states where the demurrage sys.

CHARLES HoLADA ON STAND.
Accuses Mrs. Gallagher Of Plotting
Murder

Iowa City, Oct. 2.-Charles Holada
yesterday testified that Mrs. Gallaugh-
er plotted with him to kill her hus-
band after the unlawful relations be-
tween Holada and the woman began
and had continued for several months.
They planned. Holada said, to poison
him with cyanide potassium, the wo-
man to administer the dose. Other
plans, witness testified, were to kill
him in the woods with an ak and leave
him as though a tree had fallen on
his body; to hit him in the head with
an Ak in the barn or throw him under
the horses, or perhaps HOlada should
shoot him while out hunting birds
as if by accident. Holada swore that
the plans were made by the woman
except the one as to the killing in the
barn. Holada testified that the wo-
man euarreled with her husband be-
cause Of the latter's discovery of her
night meeting with Holada in the barn
three days before the meeting.
Iowa City. Oct. 3.-In the cross ex-
animation Holada was forced to reluct-
antly admit that when he came to the
SallauSueE nome, a stranger, anu was
taken into the home of the benefactor

to escape prosecution on a charge Of
seduction. though he was already a
married man. But he persisted that
he was not to blame for the relationJ
between himself and Mrs. gallagher,
and that she fairly forced her affec,
tons upon him. Mrs. Galiaugher was
seen to curl her lip in scorn. at this
statement. Holada admitted he was
in Gallaugher's yard the night of the
murder. but denied that he entered
the house. He claimed to have fed an
hour before the crime. One witness
testified that he saw Mrs. Gallaughe1
and Holada together on the farm two
days preceding the murder. Mrs. Gal,
Laughter had denied before the coro-
ner's jury that she had met Holada
that day. The state has rested its
case. The general belief here is that
the woman will escape and that Hol-
ada has doomed himself by his ad
missions .

Burlington Jail.

Burlington, Oct 2.-The most inter-
esting part of the proceedings of the
Hendershott murder trial was the ap-
pearance of the prisoner on the stand

DR.. Trent was brutal to the other pris-
oners and that ne was in fear of him.
He said Trent had been talking Of a
scheme to murder the jailor. He fear
ed him because he had mesmeric pow
ers. On the day of the murder Trent
carried out the sentence of the Kan

it. He felt dizzy and weak. He pro-
cured razor and when an opportunity
came he cut Trents throat He de-
clares he did not want to kill Trent.
but was impelled to do SO by a morbid
fear of him. Photographs were intro
duced to show Hendershott before the
murder and afterwards. The first pic
ture shows him as an intelligent look
ing young man, the other as half
crazsd person.

TO Provide Departments at Other Insti-

Des Moines. Oct 3.-The board OF
control is seriously considering the
question of establishing a second de-
partment for inebyiates in another
one of the state hospitals. At the
present rate of increase of inebriates.
the department at the Mt. Pleasant
hospital will soon be filed. Judge
Robinson said yesterday. if the number
of patients committed TO the inebriate
DEPARTMENT continued to grow as it
has been that it would be necessary
to establish departments in all the
hospitals and that all of them would
be filled by the time the legislature
meets a year from next winter.
The board has received the report
for Mt. Pleasant for September. Sep
TENDER 80 there were eightv.fve' pa
tents being treated there under the
new dipsomaniac law. The depart
ment for inebriates was opened the
middle of July. In July ten patients
were received. in August. thirty-six.
and in September forty-four. a total
of ninety. Discharges, deaths and es-
capes have cut down the. total to
eighty five. An examination of the re-
ports on the insane population at Mt
Pleasant shows that in the whole
month Of July twenty-seyen ratients
were admitted. in August. nine. and in
September sixteen. In September ten
insane patients were admitted to Cher
okee. The reports on Independence
and Clarinda hospitals have not been
received. but the board is convinced
the number is as large as the total
number of insane admitted to the four
state hospitals. What to do with the
inebriates become a quandary and the
board is at 4 loss to know to what
lengths the new law is going to COM
pei 1t to go In the way OF providing
room for the dipsomaniacs.

today sent to the chairman of the
committee of acceptance. his letter OF
acceptance Of the nomination. In this
he Celebrates somewhat on the plat
form. He declares that the republi'
can party OF Iowa is now on trial be-
| fore the nation sitting as an impartial
jury and the battle Is to be waged
chiefly In the Third district. He saya
| it is useless to imagine. futile TO hope
| that any one man can be greater than
his party and accomplish great results
in opposition to its principles and
policies. After declaring that the re-
publican PARTY is firmly committed
| TO the principles OF protection to
American labor and throughout its
| history has been a friend and champ.
. ion. he adds:
"The republican party of Iowa does
noe propose to abate one jot or title
! of its faith in the essential principles
or politics of protection. It does be-
lieve that the question of rates is a
practical one to be governed by the
conditions of time and production and
that nothing sacred attaches to mere
table or rates. which should be re-
adjusted to meet the change in condi
tons as they arise.
"Monopolies are born, not OF the
protective policy of the republican
party. but Of the greed and selfshness
Of men.
Trusts exist in countries where
trade is absolutely free. as we'll as in
this country. where the policy of pro-
lection prevails. as witness in Britain.
where hundreds of combinations with
millions OF capital are in existence.
But monopolies. wherever found, are
common enemy or all. The republi-
can party believes in the greatest good
to the greatest number. and will not
permit the policy of protection to be-
come a shield for the greed and ayarice
of man. whether in the form OF trusts,
individuals. joint stock or corporate
existenceSnor a shelter beneath which
designing corporations shall be able
to Cypress the people OF this country.
Iowa republicanism is born OF our
young and energetic civilization that
brooks not self-poliution, that finds Its
prototype in our illustrious president
and in our distinguished governor.
Honestly interpreted there Is no
heresy in the Iowa idea, but, on the
contrary, it is the assertion of con-
scious manhood. Of the determination
that the republican party shall be
maintained and continued as it has
been heretofore, the champion of all
the people in every avenue OF life.
With every line of the platform of the
republican party of Iowa. in this re:
spect, as in all others, am in full and
happy accord.
Il accept the nomination You have
rendered me with the firm confidence
that the republicans of this district
will maintain these principles as es-
sential not only to our preservation as
a party, but to that young and ener-
getic civilization Of which We are ap
integral part"

EMILE lola DEAD.
sUcCUM6S TO GASES FROM I'M
PERFECT STOVE. s.

Madame Zola Was Made Very Sick
but She Has Partially Recovered.
Paris, Sept. 30.-Emile lola, the
novelist who gained additional prom
inence in recent years because of his
defense of the Jews and of former
Captain Dreyfus, was found dead in
his Paris house yesterday morning.
Asphyxiation from the fumes Of a
stove in his room is given as the cause
of death.
NJ. lola and his wife retired at 10
o'clock Sunday night. Nine. lola was
seriously i'll when the room was
broken into yesterday morning. At
about noon she was removed to PRIV.
ate hospital, where she recovered con-
seriousness for short time and was
able briefly to explain to magistrate
what had happened.
To the magistrate Nine. lola eX-
planned that she awoke early with a
splitting headache. She awakened
her husband and asked him to open
window. She saw him rise and at.
tempt to move towards a window, but
he staggered and fell to the floor UNI
conscious. Nine. lola tainted at the
same moment and was, therefore I'm!
able to give the alarm.
1t was reported here during the day
that there was evidence Of suicide in
the death of NJ. lola. Nothing has so
far developed to substantiate this
theory, and the statement made by
Nine. lola to the magistrate seems to
disproye it.
Zuia returned to his Paris home
from his country house at Medan. and
owing to sudden spell of cold
weather here he ordered the heating
stove in his bedroom to be lighted.
The stove burned badly, but Zola and
his wife retired at 10 o'clock Sunday
night. and the servants, not hearing
any movement in the apartment in the
morning. entered the bedroom at $50
and found Madame Zola lying On the
bed inanimate. lola was lying half
out of bed, with his head and Shout
ders on the floor and his legs on the
bed. Doctors were summoned, but
they failed to restore lola to life. AZ
ter prolonged efforts they resuscitated
Madame lola. The rumor circulated
regarding Zola's supposed suicide from
poison was based on the fact that
elections supposed to have come from
his stomach were found on the floor,
Dut the doctors say they came from
Zola's dog, which was also in the bed
room and which did not suffer from
asphyxiation. lola dined with a goo3
appetite Sunday evening, and the
servants of the household ate OF the
same dishes. Nothing unusual was
heard in the bedroom during the night

by her attorney and the county attor.
ney. The crime for which Mrs. Hunt
was sentenced was the shooting of A.
H. Goodspeed in this city last July.
The deed was prompted by a desire
for revenge which was actuated by
jealousy of Goedspeed's attentions to
another woman. She fired five shots,
two of them going wide of rheir mark.
and three taking effect, inflicting scalp
wounds. Mrs. Hunt once since her
arrest tried to commit suicide, but was
saved by hard fight on the part OF
