The Milwaukee to Extend.

| Des Moines, Dec 22.-It has been
announced from an authentic source
| that the prospects are good for a con-
| siderable addition 20 the mileage of the
/ Milwaukee road in Iowa next season.
Surveys are to be made for two inlpor-
tant feeders, both of which will be
beneficial to Des Moines, and both OF
which will be built if the expense is
not too great.
The proposed extensions are intended
to provide the company with a second
main line across the state. but unlike
its two lines in Iowa at this time, this
will be north and south road, runs
ming from Duluth. st. Paul and Minne-
apolis on the north. to Kansas City
and ST. Joe on the south.
To provide this line it will be neces-
sary to construct about 100 miles OF
new road, but by this construction the
company will have provided the short
est line between the cities to the north
and Kansas City.
1t is intended to build about thirty
miles of road from Spirit Lake north
to Jackson, Minnesota, and about sew
enty miles south from a point between
Des Moines and Give to a point on its
Kansas City division near the state
line The filing in of these two gapea
would give the company direct line
from the Minnesota towns via Jackson
and Des Moines to Kansas City.
The engineering department of the
road has received orders to make the
surveys, and it is expected work on
them will be commenced shortly after
January 1.

Valuable Iowa Pearl.

Washington. Dec. %. Mississippi
river pearls have taken a boom since
the arrival in Washington of Mr.. W. r.
Anthony, of Cafnanche, Iowa. bearing
with him specimen of what Iowa pro-
duces in the way of pearls
The gem in question is one of the
largest ever taken from the Mississippi,
having been found in musseI a few
miles UP the river from Davenport. The
pearl is of pinl1ish white tint, per-
fectly formed and weighs trifle over
forty-seven grains.
Mr.. Anthony was in New York the
first part of the week exhibiting the
gem and experts declared it to be one
of the finest specimens ever seen in the
metropolis. Mr.. Anthony has had the
pearl placed in a satin lined case, sur
rounded by a dozen small diamonds,
producing marvelously stunning,
effect. He was offered S1,500 for the
pearl, but declined to sell, believing the
gem to be worth a much lager amount.
Mr.. Anthony has handled many fine
pearls from the Mississippi, acting in
the capacity of broker for the discov-
erer of the gems.

Schooners Frank A. Palmer

BOTH VESSELS WENT DOWN

Eleven or more sailors were either kill
ed in the collision or drowned, or died
from exposure. After the accident fif-
teen men from either vessel took to a
small boat. Three subsequently went
insane and jumped overheard, two died
from exposure and two went insane af-

were saved. All the survivors were
frost bitten and some probably will have
their feet and hands amputated.

ments. This pleaseS the volunteers who
have not gone into the guard and the
guardsmen who were not in the volun-
teer service. At the time of remaining
the regiments some of the companies
were moved from one regiment to an
other so as to better group the conpa-
MES in regiments on sectional lines.
and these changes have caused no pro-
test, tho an effort to make some
changes of this character last year
raised a storm. General Byers is now
confident the Iowa national guard will
gain pidly in strength and import
aEce and that it will be comparatively
easy to maintain the companies of the
four regiments. There are two vacan-
cies now-one in the SD and one in the
55th, and these will be filled some time
during the winter. General Byers goes
to Washington after the holidays and
will do work with the Iowa delegation
to secure the passage of the Dick mill
tary bill which would enable the
guardsmen to come into close relation
with the regulars.
The recent disgraceful conduct of
some OF the students of the Iowa State
University at Iowa City mas now been
entirely disposed of SO far aus it relates
to the classes as a whole. President
MacLean, of the university, was in the
city last night consulting with state
officers and others. He spoke very
hopefully of the outlook. The students
of one class had practically broken up
a banquet given at a leading hotel by
another class and caused great damage
to furniture and windows. The faculty
demanded that members of the class
pay the damages and settle up the mat
ter. President MacLean states that he
does not know whether the damages
have Leen paid, but the class has agreed
to pay the damages and to make all
matters right. THE affair was very
for all of US" said Presi-
dent MacLean, "and it was very bad,
but it was also greatly exaggerated in
the papers Having dealt with the class
as a whole we are now ready to deal
with individuals and shall do so as fast
as we can discover them. We will not
tolerate rowdyism at the university and
shall certainly wipe out the disgrace
brought upon the university and the
class by this conduct"

FOWLER GETS 5000.
Small Verdict Against Woman in Fa-
nous Breach of Promisa, Suit.

Davenport, Dec. 22.-After being out
for three hours the jury in the Fowler
Mason breach of promise suit late Sat
urday afternoon returned a verdict in
favor of the plaintiff for $500, the Ce-
dar Rapids young man who alleged that
his feelings and his peace of mind had
been injured to the extent of $4,000 by
the failure of Miss Mason to become
his bride as she had agreed. Judge
Boliinger instructed the jury to bring
in a verdict for the plaintiff who had a
clear case under the technicalities of
the law, and stated that the only thing
to be deliberated was the amount of
the verdict. Lawyer G. M. Waterman,
lately justice of the supreme court of
the state, who with former Congress-
man Joe r. Lane, conducted the de-
Tense for the young lady, said in his
closing address to the jury that he had
more respect for a man who would go
on the witness stand and perjure him.
self, than he had for Fowler, who had
brought this suit and exposed to the
world the details of a courtship. 1t is
estimated that the suit will cost Miss
Sadie A. Mason, the defendant, about
$1,000. The verdict came as a surprise
to the public. which expected one
merely nominal. No new trial will be
asked.
When Judge Waterman was making
the opening statement for the defense
in the breach of promise suit of Rob-
ert d. Fowler VS.. Sadie A. Mason. he
called attention to the fact that 1t is
the fourth instance on record in the
United States of man suing a woman
for the failure to perform an alleged
contract to marry. Cases of women
suing men on such grounds We're as
numerous as the sands of the sea but
cases like the present one We're as un-
usual as anything known in the his
tory of the court.
Then Judge Waterman pointed at the
plaintiff in the suit and asked If any
of the jurors could blame Miss Mason
for not marrying Mr.. Fowler. He ad-
ded that he would rather pay $4,000
than have his daughter marry the
Cedar Rapids man.

Believed That President Roose-
velt Will Arbitrate the
Venezuelan Difficulty
WAS THE KAlsER's SUGGESTION
Germany Seems Anxious to Keep on the
Good Side of the United States
Some Of the Reasons Why Roosevelt
Should Accept, in the Opinion of the
Germans.

Berlin, Dec. 22-The notes of Ger
many and Great Britain formally inyit-
Ing Roosevelt to act as arbitrator in the
Venezuelan dispute were handed to the
United States ambassador here and at
London today.
Altho Germany is ready to submit her
case TO any impartial tribunal. she will
prefer Roosevelt for the reason that
Castro is more likely to accept his de-
cision than that of The Hague tribunal.
II Castro refused payment under Roose-
! velt's award the people of the United
States, 1t is claimed here, would with
positive pleasure see the allies compel
him to pay up. The United States is
considered here as emerging from the
affair with all credit. The Monroe doc
trine has been Acknowledged by two of
the greatest powers of Europe and
Roosevelt has been accepted as arbi-
TRAITOR by all the parties concerned. The
South American states have been per-
suaded by events that the United States
Is the only power between them and
Europe. The only annoying thing to the
German government has been the al
legged readiness of America to suspect
Germany of secret designs. 1t is re-
ported that this extraordinary suspicion
has been painful surprise to the
smperor and his cabinet.
washington, Dec. 22.--The United
States government is awaiting recep-
tion of formal answers from the allied
governments to the presidents last
suggestion that the Venezuelan dis
pnte be referred to the Hague. So far
these responses have not come to hand,
but 1t is pretty we'll understood that
they will hold for arbitration Of Roose-
seit himself.
Signs point to the ultimate accep-
tance OF the trust, tho nothing positive
is known on this point. The state de-
partment has learned that Castro
would welcome selection of Roosevelt
MS arbitrator and as all parties inter-
ested are united the pressure will be
hard to resist. Opinion varies as to
the termination of the blockade of the
Venezuelan ports. In some quarters
it is assumed II President Roosevelt ac-
cepts the duty of arbitrator, the allies
will call off the blockade at once. On
the other hand it Is pointed out, GUS
tom requires the terms or arbitration
10 be accurately defined and this viii
consume some time, pending which the
blockade will continue.
