Iowa Falls, June ga very inter-
estng report has gained currency in
railroad circles in this vicinity the past
few days to the effect that Iowa Falls
may be made the passenger division of
the c., r. l. & p. road. Since the abb
sorption of the B., c. r. e N. by the
Rock Island much speculation has been
INDUCED in as to the effect the change
would have on this city, which has
been a freight division of the Burling-
ton ever since it was built. Those who
place faith in the latest report that
Iowa Falls may be made a passenger
division cite the facts that the paSsen-
ger divisions of all western roads are
about 200 miles long, and based on this
it is figured that the passenger run
would be made from Chicago to Rock
Island distance of about 200 miles,
the next 200 miles would bring the di-
vision point here and the third at ELS
worth, MINI. NATURALLY much interest
is manifested in this report, the cerifi-
cation of which would mean so much
for this city.

Cedar Rapids, June 26.-At Fairfax,
near here on the Northwestern three
little children, eight, nine and ten years
old respectively, were struck by a
swiftly moving freight train last night
and all now lie unconscious under the
doctors care, with little hope of re-
covery for any of them. Just how the
accident occurred no one appears tc
know. The engineer states that he did
not see the children until almost upon
them. One of them was found on the
right side of the track and the other
two on the left, the three lying about
fifty feet apart.
One of them, named Alonzo Wells,
will die; as will probably one of the
little girls, Lena Geiger. She has been
in an unconscious condition since the
accident and there is no chance for
her recovery. The skull is terribly
torn and crushed and she is badly
bruised about the body. Her sister.
Rosa, is semi conscious and hel
chances for recovery are slight. The
scalp is terribly lacerated, the upper
jaw bone is broken, the inside of the
mouth and throat are badly torn and
there are many severe bruises about
the face and head. All of the children
have had severe hemorrhages, showing
that there are internal injuries.

motion of appeal was filed imme-
diately afterwards by his attorney and
an appeal bond of $4,000 was set by the

Judge Bank said that the law is very
Jealous of human life and places great
value upon it. He believed that when
a jury was fairly instructed and had
heard all of the evidence, their verdict
should be respected and that when the
jury finds party guilty the judge is
compelled to sentence him.
Regarding public opinion in this case,
Judge Bank stated from the bench that
no one had tried to influence him in this
case. No one had come to him regard
ing it.
The limit according to the statutes is
eigh years Imprisonment and fine of
$1,000, and he thought fair judgment
would be six years and six months and
defendant to be charged with the costs
in this case.
Mr.. Davis then gave notice of an ap-
peal from the decision and the defense
will argue tomorrow for permission to
allow Beird to remain in the county
Jail instead of being taken at once to

Robbery Believed to Have Been Mo

Special to Times Republican.
Dubuque, June 26.-The mystery OF
the death of Matilda Wagner will be
solved today, or at least an attempt
will be made to do so by the jury i'm
paneled by Coroner Hoar. Sheriff HON.
rich of Galena will be the chief witness
and 1t is understood that he has facts
that will prove conclusively that Miss
Wagner was murdered. What they are
he will not announce until the inquest
is held.
The latest theory in the case and the
one which makes murder all the more
probable is report that comes from
F'reeport to the effect that Miss Wag-
ner had large sum of money on her
person when she was last seen in that
town. This amounted to several hun
dred and can not be found. This is be-
lieved to be the cause of the murder.

PauIlina Suffered Severely.

Paullina June 26.-By far the most
disastrous windstorm ever experienced
in the history>of this county, passed ov-
er Paullina and vicinity b<tween the
hours of / and o'clock Wednesday
morning and at about o'clock the
wind must have attained a velocity of
rs to so miles per hour. 1t was simply
terrific, and the damage done in less
than two hours is incalcu!able TO fruit
and ornamental trees in Paullina and
vicinity. 1t is safe to say not prop
erty owner escaped without some loss,
in an adjacent to Paullina. Reports are
coming in of houses, barns and other
buildings being entirely wrecked. and
scarcely a windmill remains standing,
Briefly stated the greatest damage
done in Paullina is as follows:
Hardware store of Cottrell & Co.,
total wreck.
Hardware store of A. Book. partial
wreck.
North end of Wollenberg brick block,
badly damaged.
Opera house wrecked.
Hans Under saloon, partially wreck
II. Sprague, livery barn, partially
wrecked.
Hans Koch, blacksmith shop, badly
damaged.
Commercial hotel badly damaged.
Store fronts blown in and roofs dam
aged and wrecked, too numerous to
mention
John Metcalf had large barn just
west of town entirely smashed and six
horses killed.
The grain elevators and Williamson's
flour mill We're greatly damaged.
J. A. Warner. an extensive farmer one
mile south of Paullina, said this morn
ing that he did not mind the loss of
his buildings, barns and ice house, etc,
including windmill but his orchard be-
ing ruined is irreparable for long
time. 1t is impossible at this time to
give anything like an accurate report
of all the damage.
The Presbyterian and Methodist
church buildings. We're both badly dam
aged, moved from foundation two or
three inches, the roof of the Methodist
church badly damaged and building
twisted some out of shape. Altogether
Paullina has all the appearance of hav-
ing passed thru a cyclone. Nearly all
the people found refuge in their cellars
and caves.
1t is reported that Granville and AL
ton suffered equally with Paullina. All
crops are badly damaged.

Large Quantity of Dope.

Dubuque, June 26.-James Simpson.
q tramp was sent to Jail Tuesday
morning. He was a sallow faced
dreamy looking sort of fellow and did
rot appear as clipper as knights of the
road usually do when being placed in
the bastile. Jailer Rawson searched
him and found what he thought was
new brand of plug tobacco. It was
not tobacco, however, but opium, and
weighed about one and half POUNDS
Simpson said he not only smoked, but
chewed 1t, and that he had been using
1t for years. He was very loath to part
with 1t, but the jailer would not let him
keep it. He intended to have a very
dreamy time of it during the next fif-
teen days, and felt "all broke up" wher
the stuff that sends person floating
on gold-lined clouds was taken away
from him.
