AS a result Of this investigation a

offense against the government than
a breach of trust on the part Of a
public official, or the dishonest man

every effort must be exerted to bring
such offenders to punishment by the
utmost rigor of the law. The dis
trict attorney of the District OF Col

Iowa Falls, June 24.-President e.
s. Ellsworth Of the Des Moines Short
Line states that he Is confident that
his road will be OpeneN to Dss Moines
for regular traffic by August l, and
will be in shape to handle the state
fair traffic from this part of the state
very nicely. 1t appears to be the de-
sire Of the management to put the
road in the best shape possible before
putting on regular train service south
Of Cambridge, to which point trains
are operated daily except Sunday. The
roadbed is now graveled between this
city and Nevada and Is In excellent
condition. South of Cambridge some
of the heaviest work on the line has
been necessary, much of the grading
and cutting having to be gone over
with this spring on account Of the in.
completeness of the roadbed which
was completed late last fall. The
heavy rains and high water this spring
affected the roads line on the south
end and the repairs necessary are
taking much time Midsummer will
see the opening of one of the best
equipped roads in Iowa, both in point
of roadbed and rolling stock, for no
expense has been spared in securing
the best Of everything for the line.
