HAD MANY VICTIMS.
New London Merchants Imposed Upon

Special to Times Republican.
New London, Ia, Aug. 7.-G. w.
Kernahern, left town about ten days
ago, leaving numerous small creditors
in hte city. He was indebted to the
Bell Telephone Company for about $50
as their local agent. The presumption
is that he was not able to meet his
obligations and decided to drop out OF
existence, so far as New London and
vicinity might be concerned. "A chi
cago firm is said to have mortgage
on his stock of jewelry and other mer-
chandise. He is also said to be short
in his accounts with the Singer Sew
ing Machine Company, for which COM
pany he was county agent.
Mr.. Kernhern dropped into town
few years ago about as mysteriously as
he recently dropped out. Not much OF
his history was ever known, but he
had evidently seen better days. He
was a watch maker and opened a re-
pair shop in town, and -endeavored TO
occupy a broader field by engaging In
business. Mr. Kernahern was a hust-
Ter, but had ideas that only man OIL
means could indulge in in booming
business.

Missouri Grand Jury Investigating
Passes for Legislators.
Jefferson City, Mo, Aug. 7.-Colonel
William n. Phelps. attorney for the
Missouri Pacific, and Colonel John c.
Carroll, attorney for the Burlingto ton,
We're witnesses yesterday before the
Cole county Doodle grand jury. AS
the affairs of this grand jury are being
carefully guarded, it is impossible to
state positively what the two big rail-
road attorneys told, but is is safe
presumption they were questioned con-
corning issuance of free passes to state
legislators, and it is asserted that they
stood on their constitutional rights and
declined to answer questions.
The grand jury is investigating re-
port that an attempt was made to Sc
cure money from brewers to effect the
passage of the beer consumption bill.
by which brewers were released from
paying fines for violation of the beer
inspection law.
Former Lieutenant Governor John a.
Lee was again a witness. 1t is believed
he identified the Lee Kelley kilograms
and told of the transactions to which
they related. He broke down while in
the jury room. and wept. and 1t was
some time before he could continue
his testimony.

by the time the Legislature meets SO
that there will be more or less of an
noyance by reason of the contractors
at work on the building. The new roof
will soon be out of the way. and the
elevators will be in place. But there
lis a vast amount of work going on in
the building in fixing up the heating
and ventilating apparatus that Will
take many weeks. Obstacles have been
encountered at many places that could
not have been foreseen and the workmen
are being delayed In much Of the work
A large force is now employed but II
the work is delayed until cold weather
it will be more difficult to carry 1t on
with convenience to all. The capitol
commission is here now engaged IN
looking after the contracts and attend-
ing to many details that are neces.
sary.
Quite a little storm has been caused
by a few members of the G. A. r. here
and in number of other places in the
state because the official badges of the
Iowa department, as selected and ar
ranged by Adjutant General Newman.
contain portraits of the governor OF the
state. Until it was published here
that the grand army men at Waterloo
were making kick about the matter,
no attention was paid to it by the
grand army men, but since then they
have taken 1t up and especially those
who have been conspicuous in politics
have carried on heated discussion
of the matter. 1t may be said on be-
half Of Dr. Newman, the adjutant gen
eral, that he had no thought of any
political discussion of the matter or
any stirring up of factional differences
when he selected his design. for he
would be the last man in the world
to do anything OF the sort. But 81
large element are insisting that it was
done for the purpose of giving undue
prominence to Mr.. Cummins and not
because he is governor of the state and
commander in chief of the national
guard Of the state. However, the de-
mand for the badges has been great
and the c. A. r. department will real
ize a handsome sum from their sale
and that was the prime object in hav-
ing an official badge selected.
The case of DR.. Repp, the discharged
veterinarian at Ames, is attracting
some attention from the fact that he
refuses to accept discharge. His pay
ceases Sept. /, however, and it is be-
ieved he will then regard himself as
not Of the college faculty. The trou-
BILE is Of long standing. There had
been friction between Repp and Cur
tis and McNeal, and when DR.. McNeal
was made dean Of the department the
trouble became more acute. The mat
ter was carried to the last meeting OF
the state association Of veterinarians
and resolution was passed intended
to help DR.. Repp in his effort to get
to be head of the department. This
was discussed some months ago. The
board Of trustees found that the only
way to have peace was to separate the
persons engaging In the controversy.
