SINGULAR FREAK OF NATURE.
A Colt With But Two Lees-WaIk.
Like Man

Oskaloosa, May So. NJ. Steen, re-
siding seven miles northwest of New
Sharon owns perhaps the most pecu-
liar specimen of horsefiesh in the
state.
He has a colt with but two legs. The
front legs are entirely missing. The
hind legs are stronger than they
should be in proportion with the rest
of the body, the shoulder blades are
in place but are not much in evidence,
the muscles of the shoulder are miss
ing. 1t is perfectly smooth from the
ears to the hips, in fact all over. 1t
has sixteen ribs on each side and is
extra strong in the stifie joints. 1t
cannot as yet arise without assistance
but Mr.. Steen Is confident that it will
be able To rise of its own accord, and
walk in this unnatural fashion, up
right like u man. The colt when seen
by q correspondent this week was able
to walk a distance of several feet with
out assistance. 1t is an unusually
smart colt, is healthy and strong and
bids fair to live to a good age.
The colt was foaled April 9Th, the
dam is a pony and the sire road
horse.

Engineers Listen to Such Plan to Inn
prove Navigation.
Keokuk, May S.-The board of United
States engineers met here yesterday
morning and afternoon and listened to
arguments in favor of tie building of a
dam across the entire wi5th of the Mis-
sissippi river at this point.
The dam is proposed as a benefit to
navigation by forming a slack water
lake which will stretch from Keokuk to
Burlington and afford a good stage OF
water over the Des Moines rapids,
which extend for seven miles up the
river from this point and permit of no
steamboats, in the river excepting dur
ing abnormally high water For this
cause the canal was built at this point
fifty years ago at cost of 100000.
Congressman Hedge, of Iowa, and
Congressman Marsh, of Illinois, dele
gates from Warsaw, Hamilton and
Nauvoo, H.. and from Fort Madison,
Montrose, Keokuk and Dubuque were
present at the meeting. The Dubuque
Iron Works sent in written brief in
favor of the dam, as the present locks
are too small for the passage of the
large boats being built by this firm.
The board of engineers We're sent
here by the war department to hear
complaints or favorable opinions on the
subject and will report TO congress In
December. No complaints were lodged
with the board but several lengthy
opinions from rivermen.- engineers aud
others were filed. Engineer Lyman q.

age canal, presented a lengthy report in
favor of the project as part of the brief
submitted by the Keokuk & Hamilton

fit to navigation.

REPORTS OF THE ROADS.
Small Grain Passed the Ordeal With
out Injury.

Sioux City, May S.-The crop re-
port of the Illinois Central railroad from
Cherokee to Sioux City and Cherokee
to Sioux Falls states tina. the freeze and
frosts of last week did no harm to the
small grain crop. However, it delayed
the season of the small, grain and of
corn planting at least ten days. Small
fruit was damaged.
The crop report of the Willmar &
Sioux Falls railroad corroborates these
statements. 1t is said by agents of
this line that many farmers even con-
sidered the ice storm of last week bene-
fetal to small grain. The damage to
fruit was probably confined to plums
and cherries.

| Special to mes-Eepublican
| Creston, May S.-The city of Alton
just east of here, has established rep
utation for lawlessness and crime that
Will be hard to surpass. There Were
eight hold-ups there in one night, the
robber being the same in every partic-
ular, carrying a SO caliber revolver.
The first was reported by Section Fore
man Buckner and his man Klaussegger
While they were being relieved of theil
vaiuables the flagman of a freight train
came along and he too was ordered tc
throw up his hands. This was about
$50 and near the same place about
. o'clock Everett Harlan and August
Swanson were held UP. During the ev-
ening Harley Matter, John Henderson
and Ed Leor were also robbed. The
hold-up man did not get much for his
trouble as he netted only about $40
from the entire haul. He would accept
nothing but money and returned all
watches and jewelry. The affair Gre
ated quite a stir and a posse was or
ganized to search for the robber, but he
escaped.
There will be a complete and system
attic commercial course in the Creston
public schools next year. For a long
time there has been disposition on the
part of the school board to put in prac-
teal studies that would be of use to the
student in fitting him for the path
of life and at their last meeting they
voted to dispense with the special in
structors of music and penmanship and
substitute complete commercial
course, including short hand and type
writing. Professor French will investi
gate the various systems and report
at special meeting to be held May 49,
when the instructors will probably be
selected.
The city of Creston now owns and
controls it's own burying ground. For.
years Graceland cemetery has beer
owned by company and the city has
mad no cemetery of its own. Yesterday
Mayor J. C. Sullivan purchased Grace
land of the company for $1,000 and at
the council meeting last night he sold
II to the city for the same price.
The L. w. Auspach horse sale was the
most successful yet held in this part
of the state. There were 200 head of
horses sold and all brought good prices.
The sale had been greatly adverttssd
and nearly 100 horsemen from tour
states were present. The highest price
paid for one horse was 1858, paid for
d gray gelding. The average price was

sENAroRsH1P FIGHTS SETTLED.
Results of Recent Elections in the
Legislatures.

- Half a dozen senatorships have been
settled which involve the political for
tunes of men Of great prominence in
their party. The nomination Of Rep
resentative Hopkins of Illinois for the
senatorship by the joint republican eau
Gus Of the legislature of Illinois settles a
bitter fight in which Senator Mason made
a strong effort to obtain the control of the
legislature
1t has been fully expected that Senator
Gallinger would be reelected and that has
been done by acclamation by the republican
members Of the New Hampshire legislature
The unanimous denomination of Senator
Platt Of Connecticut was also fully expect
ed. The republican members of the general
assembly Of Connecticut took Just three
minutes to take this action.
The news that Senator Spooner has been
renominated by the joint republican caucus
OF Wisconsin has been received here with
much interest. The situation in Wisconsin
at this time is such 1t is believed as to
assure Senator Spooner against any fur
ther hitch in his election. There has been
bitter fight on him because of his re-
fusal to indorse the state platform of his
work on the part Of his friends to get the
republican forces In such shape as to allow
his denomination.
The nomination OF an apostle OF the Nor
mon Church for the senatorship in the per-
sou of Mr.. Smoot Is likely to lead to all
sorts of difficulties IN the future. Mr.
Smoot's selection by the republicans OF the
Utah legislature for this honor practically
insures his nomination by the legislature.
