When arrested Saturday on the COM
plant of Charles Curtis. negro, she
was living at 40 Sherman street. She
gave the name of Elizabeth Cody, but
it occurred to no one to connect her
with Colonel Cody's famous daughter
in-law. Yesterday, however, when
brought before Justice Caverly she ad-
mitted her guilt.
Il plead guilty your honor, but 1
hope you will have pity on me-" she
begged. can uncomfortable appetite
for drugs has brought me here. be-
gan the use of it years ago to steady
me under the strain of the life was
leading and now it has lost me every
thing. Please give me chance to
pull myself together"
The striking beauty Of the woman
whom the crowds at the worE fair
admired is now entirely gone. Al
though she is but twenty-eight years
old she looks almost forty. Hers, in
fact is one of the extreme cases which
have come up in the Harrison Street
police court.
Today she will be taken " the bride
well"to serve out sentence of $45 and
costs. "a good long stay in the bride
well will do you good,' said the court.
The prisoners husband. Sam Cody,
died in England. Their son, Vivien, is
now with Col. Cody at the latter's
ranch on the North Platte. The mother
left Buffalo Bill two years ago and
since has been drifting around the
country with stray shows.

IOWA CORN CROP GOOD.
w. c. Brown of New York Central Rail-
road Optimistic.

w. Z. Brown OF New York Central Kali
road Optimistic.
w. G. Brown, brother of Capt. c. P.
Brown of this city, and third vice
president of the New York Central
Railroad company, in charge of the
operating department, who has just
returned from personal inspection
of the crop situation in Iowa does not
share the pessimistic view of the corn
crop which was generally expressed
last week. In recent Interview he
said:
II can speak personally only of
Iowa." said Mr. Brown, "but have had
wheat belts, and acting on their fore
casts Of large harvests, the New York
Central and Lake Shore have ordered
1000 cars for early delivery and 1000
additional cars and los locomotives
for delivery before the end Of the year.
This was done to avoid, if possible,
trouble from freight congestion similar
to that which handicapped us to such
an extent last year. Practically every
car and every locomotive on our lines
between New York and Chicago is now
in use, and car famine next fall will
be unavoidable unless facilities are in
creased. From personal observations
1 should be willing to say that every
acre of ground in Iowa planted with
corn this year will yield three times as
much merchantable corn to us as it did
last year. Much of the corn last year
was worthless except for fodder. do
not believe the conditions in the other
producing states are so favorable.
From Kansas, Nebraska and Missouri
look for about an average yield, per-
haps a little more, perhaps little less,
depending largely upon conditions from
now until the harvest. think the stor-
les of an absolute corn crop failure and
of disaster from hot winds can for the
most part be traced to self-interest of
persons who are interested in the grain
or stock market"

st. Louis, Aug. 12.-Behind closed
doors the taking of dispositions in
connection with the suit instituted
against the Cleage Commission com
pany by S. P. Tressler of San Francis
co is being continued. Thomas
A. Cleage, who admits that he is the
sole proprietor of the company, stated
on the stand that he could not remem-
Der the name of single man who
executed an order for the company.
At former hearing before the com
missioner Cleage is said to have
stated that his books showed who ex-
ecuted all the orders. Attorney
Collet for the plaintiff said II exam
ined such books of the concern as
were placed at my disposal in the
interval since taking the first deposit
ton, but was unable to find record
giving the desired information. The
statement made by Cleage is taken
by us to mean that no orders were
issued, consequently none could be
executed. In other words, l believe
that the firm played against it's Gus
toner's accounts. and that when the
market went the wrong way the com
pany closed out the investor" The
taking of deposition will be continued
Wednesday afternoon.

CUTOFF TINE CARD.
TRACEY EXTENSION OF THE BUR.
LlNGToN WILL SOON BE
IN OPERATION.
VIII Give a Direct Route Between Des
Moines and BurIington-Cut-Off is
TWentytseven Miles in Length
Time Card Soon to Be Made.

A meeting Of the officials of the Bur-
lington will probably be held in Chi
cago within few days to arrange a
time card for the Tracey extension of
the Burlington & Western branch,
which is to connect Des Moines and
Burlington on an almost direct route.
The line will be in operation Septem-
Der 1.
The new cutoff is about twenty-five
miles long. The line from Burlington
to Oskaloosa was last year completely
rebuilt and transformed from a narrow
guage to standard guage road in
one day.
With a completion of the cutoff
there is an entire new line from Des
Moines to Burlington through Oska--
loosa, Hedrick, Wayland, Brighton and
other good towns. The new line will
form practically new route from Des
Moines to Chicago and it is expected
that the Des Moines business eastward
will all be routed over this new line.
1t will be shorter and more convenient
and will relieve the main line Of the
Burlington to that extent.
Bridge Engineer is Here.
G.. H. Cartilage Of Chicago, bridge
engineer of the Burlington, arrived in
the city this morning on Burlington
No. 3. Mr.. Cartilage and Daniel Law.
Ter, superintendent of bridges and
building on the Ottumwa division, left

where they will inspect the work of
the new Improvement at that place.
The construction of the new steel an.
proaches and new pier is progress
ing, although the recent high water
caused little delay in the work.

Newport, R. l., Aug Hover 5000
American beauty roses woven into
single decoration and the presence of
Miss Alice Roosevelt were the features
of the grand ball given last evening by
Mrs. William Astor. AS in many years
past, this was the gayest and most
brilliant event of the season.
Mrs. Astor took the daring step of
breaking down the time-honored tradi-
tons of the society, crushing barriers
which have been supposed to exist be-
tween cliques and sets and inviting
everybody. Her ball, therefore, virtu-
ally created a new society.

craftsmanship King Edward himself,
