WILLIAM KITE MISSING.
Mysterious Disappearance Of Benton
County Farmer.

mysterious Disappearance OF benton
County Farmer.
Cedar Rapids, March 17.-William
Kite, prosperous farmer of Blairs-
town. Benton county, Iowa, is mysteri-
ously missing from his home and no
explanation can be made of his absence.
The whole matter is unacountable. He
was last seen in Cedar Rapids about
noon on last Monday at the union sta
ton by section man from BlairStown,
who recognized Kite, who is unmar-
ried and about 3S years old, and is
strong and vigorous and lives with his
aged mother at Blairstown, who is nat
urally greatly worried over the unex-
planned absence of her son. On
Wednesday last Kite went to Wilton
Junction, Cedar county, where he pur-
chased a farm for $4,000 and paid for it.
He left there at 7:45 o'clock Monday
morning for this city and as stated
above was seen and recognized here
upon his arrival. That is the last that
has been seen or heard of him by his
friends or relatives.
Mrs. Kite, the mother. being anxious
about her son, wrote to DR.. S. S. Spicer,
of this city, en acquaintance. asking his
aid in the matter. The police have been
rotified but nothing can be learned of
the missing man. He did not have over
$50 on his arrival here, or is supposed
not to have had over that sum. Any
one knowing of his whereabouts will
confer favor by notifying Mrs. Kite
at Blairstown.

EVERYTHING FAVORABLE.
Reports From Washington Say Pros
poets for Federal Building Ar

Bright.
Private reports from Washington as
we'll as press dispatches indicate that
Marshalltown's chances of securing ar
appropriation for government post
office building are fattering. Nearly
every member of congress is making eff
forts to secure appropriations for a fed
eral building in his district and the gov
eminent would be bankrupted If all the
demands were acceded to at this ses-
sion butCongressman Cousins is making
a heroic effort to land one of the prizes
for Marshalltown. This city's showing
in increased postal receipts has been AN
aid. The Washington correspondent OF
the Sioux City Journal, in referring to
Iowa's probable prizes, says:
1t is absolutely impossible to give
Iowa anything like what the members
of the Iowa delegation believe is their
just due, and the members are now
pulling all sorts of strings to be among
the favored ones to receive appropria-
tons at this session. After careful in
quiry it seems safe to predict that Iowa
City, Marshalltown, Waterloo and
Boone will receive appropriations for
public buildings and sites at this SEES
sion of congress, while Burlington in
all probability will receive an appropri-
alton of $4,000 for the extension of the
present building.

JOHN w. GATES SUED.
John II. Parks Wants Share of Profits
in Steel Deal


| New York, March 15.-John W.
Gates. millionaire and capitalist, spent
good part of yesterday before Judge
Truax of the supreme court, where
John H. Parks is suing him to recover
a share of the millions that We're made
several years ago with the formation
of the American Steel and Wire Com
pany. The action is practically one
for an accounting and is said to involve
$1E0O0,000. The suit is based upon a
contract made in September, 1898, be-
tween Judge E. H. Cary, formerly of
Chicago, now president of the Federal
Steel Company. representing himself
and his associates, and Gerritt H. Ten
Brock, in behalf of himself and his
associates, whereby 1t was agreed to
form a company and purchase all the
Wire rod, barbed wire and wire nail
manufactures in the United States.
This contract further provided that all
profits of the deal, whether in cash
securities or stock of the proposed
corporation, should be divided equally
between Judge Gary and his associ-
ates and Ten Brock and his partners
Mr.. Parks was one of the five men
associated with Mr.. Ten Brock in the
enterprise. Mr.. Gates Is believed to
have been the only one associated with
Judge Gary.
Mr.. Gates, 1t is alleged, as result OF
the negotiations, realized several mil
lions of dollars. Mr.. Parks insists
the agreement was partnership, and
declares that he mas never received
his share of the profits. He asks tho
court to compel Mr. Gates to render
an accounting Of all the profits realized
thru the transactions and to pay to
him the amount of his share j. p.
Morgan & Co. acted as trustees for
the joint interests in the deal
Mr.. Gates denies that he is In
debted to Mr.. Parks, but admits that
such an agreement was made.
