MAY SWELL IT'S CAPITAL STOCK.
Report That Northwestern Railroad
Will Issue $1o,ooo,0o0 Additional.

New York, Nov. 12.-According tc
statements which were semi officially
made yesterday. it is the intention OF
the Chicago & Northwestern railway to
issue additional capital stock to be sold
to the stockholders. The amount of the
new issue was not definitely stated, but
it was roughly estimated that an addf-
ton Of about Is per cent of the present
outstanding capital stock will be au-
thorized. This will be sold to the stock
holders at par.
The total outstanding capital stock
of the Chicago & Northwestern amounts
to S61,509,S3S. If it is the intention of
the directors to issue is per cent addi-
tional capital, the new stock will
amount to about $10,000.0OO. North
western stock is now selling at $21S a
share.
1t was stated in well-informed quar-
tiers yesterday that the proceeds of the
new issue will be used to reimburse the
treasury for capital OUTLAWS now
charged to operating expenses and car
ried in other accounts. 1t is asserted in
other quarters that the projected issue
is due to desire on the part of the
management to give the shareholders
an opportunity to obtain dividends in
the shape of valuable rights.
Wall street has heard many rumors
regarding the cutting of melon IN
Northwestern. 1t was on the eXpecta-
ton of obtaining these rights that the
common shares advanced to III this
summer.

LACK SPIRITUAL GROWTH.
Waterloo and Cedar Falls Ministers
Alarmed Over Church Situation.

Special to Times Republican.
Cedar Falls, Nov. 12.-The ministers
of the Protestant churches of this city
and Waterloo are greatly exercised over
the lack of spiritual activity in their
churches. These ministers have long
been associated together in what is
known as the Twin City Ministerial As
ISOLATION. At their last meeting at Wa
terloo Monday the subject of revivals
was discussed, the discussion being a
continuation of a former meeting. The
talk was delivered by DR.. Bissell, of
Grace NJ e. church, Waterloo, and he
talked SO earnestly and so to the point
that the ministers present were sent to
their knees in prayer, led by Rev. j. u.
Snowden, of this city. They firmly be-
lieve they We're led by providential
guidance to that meeting and that now
is the time for revival of the old-time
religion, when men shall cry out for sal
walton. They do not want the services
of travelling evangelist, but will inau-
gurate a war against sin and worldli-
ness themselves. There is very
lack of spiritual growth in the
churches and the ministers are becom-
ing alarmed at the outlook. Either the
church is not doing it's duty and is fall
ing to accomplish the purpose for winch
Il was organized as whole, or else the
people are growing more and more
worldly

cult to restrain these people. that un-
der the rules which apply to insane
they are allowed much freedom, and
escapes are common. No way has been
devised for preventing this. But about
all that the superintendent has been
able to do is to notify the officials in
the various counties, and they have
done little to secure the return to the
hospital of the escaped inebriates and
morphine fiends. Governor CummiIs
will address letter to the sherifTs anS
others, calling their attention to the
fact that these persons have escaped,
and asking that they use their energies
to have them returned. 1t is probable
that some of the governors contingent

MANY TITLES DEFECTIVE.
Lawyers Find Imperfect Records Re-
uardinq Land Transfers.

Des Moines, Nov. 10.-Lawyers who
are engaged in the abstract business
say that it is amazing how many titles
are imperfect and how often it is neces-
sary to quiet title in order to make a
transfer of property. In fact 1t is very
seldom that a piece Of property is
transferred nowadays that some flaw
is not found in the title unless it has
been transferred previously in the last
few years. People did not used to be as
careful about titles as they now are.
When land was bought and sold for a
few dollars per acre it did not make so
much difference. Now when the prices
range from s75 to $125 per acre more
care is exercised. A man does not care
to invest small fortune in farm I'M
less he knows that he is going to be
able to hold it without any trouble
Hence the greater care with which IT,
ties are examined.
The most common flaw in a title is
where a man transferred property
without the deed stating whether he
was single or married. If married it
was necessary that the wife should sign

Country in Northwest Iowa Troubled
With Migrants.

Special to Times Republican.
Fort Dodge, Nov. 1.-THE country

ly over the influx Of Migrants and other
specimens of the class known as tramps
1t seems that the tramps are just now
leaving the green fields and haystacks
for the warmer country to the south
and the larger cities. From reports re-
ceived here they enter towns not large
enough to have effective police protec-
ton and become impudent in their be-
havior, especially towards the women
and children left at home alone. In the
larger towns, where the tramps are ar
rested, they are an expense to the COM
munity for the reason that they have to
be fed, and even if set to work accom-
plish very little.
