Peculiar Bankruptcy Case from, oska-
hasa ~ &be Federal court

Des Moines, April IA peculiar
petition in voluntary bankruptcy was
filed yesterday with Clerk Macarthur,
of the United States court. Charles
Nj. Reisman, of Oskaloosa, a travelling
salesman, according to his petition, has
no assets and no liabili tiies of his own,
altho on account of endorsing notes for
the w. o. Wallace Company, a commits
sion concern of that city, he is liable
for $41,TO4.73. In the summary of the
schedule of the liabilities and the assets,
at the und of the petition, there appears
AT the foot of both columns the word
'none," which means there are no liza
bilities and no assets. In the latter col-
umn the figures '$6, 900" appearas stock
in the Wallace company, but afti:lr this
is the remark that the certificates of
stock are worthless. Reisman was in
the employ of this firm and this is how
he came to sign the numerous notes
which aggregate such a large sum. The
creditors are principally eastern COM
mission men and the notes are all for
amounts up in the thousands, ranging
from one TO five.
Arguments will be heard in the fed
Grad court at Ksokuk .ext Tuesday be-
fore Judge Mcpherson on the demurrer
to the cross bill of the defendant in the
case of the Sattley Stacker Company
VS.. the P:dla Stacker Company. Suit
was commenced on the grounds of an
infringement of a patent. A few days
ago a restraining injunction was issued
against the plaintiff.

be hoped that the misceant or miscre-

whose intrinsic value was much less

GRADING CONTRACT 1T
Work Will Begin Immediately
on Construction of the
Newton & Northwestern
FoRTy.EleHT MILES OF TRACK
St. Paul Firm Will Begin Task of
Grading Between Boone and Metz
Will Be Connection With the Rock
Island and Probably an independent
System.
Special to Times-Republican.

| Special to es-Republican.
Boone, April 14.-The announcement
| that the Newton & Northwestern has
| let the contract for grading the line be-
| forty-eigrt miles, is of first Importance.
1t means that the Inns will be completed
and in operation before the first of Sep
tenber Foley Bros, of ST. Paul, have
the contract and they will begin work
at once at points all along the line.
Their contract calls for the grading of
the line from Boone to Metz a town on
the Rock Island five miles west of New
ton. As the exact line of the new road
across the city of Boone has not yet
been announced. the grading will be-
gin at a point about two miles east of
the city, where the N. & n. w. crosses
the Northwestern. Tie permanent
grade stakes have bd.n set up to
point near the Northwestern line near
the Cordell farm, and the dirt will be-
gin to fly at once. A large force of mbsn
will be required.
Work ON the line from Fraser to
Boone, which has been retarded on ac-
count of the impossible roads, will be
resumed very shortly, and Boone will
be between two grading gangs most of
the summer. The steel gang will fol-
low close on the heels of the graders,
and the line from Newtcn to Rockwell
City will be a fact before SNOW flies. 1t
is not as yet known whether the N. &
n. w. Will construct g. line between
Metz and Newton or use thIsi Rock |
Island tlslckage. 1t is understood that |
the new line will have an entrance into
Des Moines, thus making another route
from Boone to the capital city.
1t is practically certain that the |
street route thru Boone has
been abandoned. The other two routes
which have been mentioned are the
north route and the Fifth ward route.
Which of these will be used is not
known. even to the promoters of the
road themselves, who declare that it
will depend upon future developments.
There is reason to belive than the
Newton & Northwestern road may be-
come a part of the great railroad pro-
ect that will mean that Boone will
nave direct outlet to the c. B. & Q.
IN the south and 10000 miles of trunk
inc ON the north. This is mere spec |
llation, however, and cannot be con-
irmed. Stranger things have happen

turnout the south, and in Pearl River,
Mississippi discovered a 200 mile bed,
which is declared to be the finest that
has ever been found. Negotiations were
at once opened up with the Illinois
Central, and the company assured the
button men that they would give rates
which would warrant opening up the
new fiel6V. Now the button men are
making the complaint that the railroad
company in question is asking IS cents
per hundred for shipping, figure
which northern men consider outrage
Gus, and which. they say, will make the
business Improbable.
The button men ask that the COM
pany ship them for 26 cents per hum
bred, and they say that this is all that
they can afford to pay
Just what the effect of these alleged
excessive rates will be is matter of
conjecture, but prominent button man
of Muscatine says that the pearl but
ton industry, not only of Muscatine,
but of the entire state of Iowa and the
north, is up against serious PROPOSE
