LIBRARY FOR INDlANoLA.
Carnegie Give. $4,000 for a Public Ii.
brary BUILDING.

1ndianola, Jan. 22.-Word was re-
ceived yesterday that Andrew Carnegie
has responded to the request of the Ii
brary trustees OF mdianola with an
offer to donate &c. 900 for the constitute
ton of a library building provided the
city furnishes a suitable site and guar
antees 81, 900 a year for the maintenance
of the library. AS the city is now
spending nearly that sum annually on
the present library there would seem to
be little doubt that the conditions will
be easily met. Miss Babb, the city Ii
brarian, said this evening that the Ii
brary needed $1,000 a year. and that,
considering the work 1t was doing, the
city could not afford to spend less than
that amount. The negotiations with
MI. Carnegie have been carried on very
quietly, and the result will come as a
great surprise to most of the citizens.

MCKNIGHT. MUST SERVE.
Supreme Court Refuses to interfere In
Wife Murderers Behalf.

Des Moines, Jan. 22.-Ben Mcknight
the Woodbury. county wife murderer
will have to serve twenty-five years In
the state p%enitentiary unless the par
doning power of the state is invoked In
his behalf. which is unlikely. The SUI
preme court considered his case today
and ar opinion has been handed down
affirming the judgment in Judge
Dewey's court where Mcknight was
tried.
The crime of which Mcknight was
accused was of a most revolving nature.
He was said to have persistently beaten
his wife until he finally inflicted In
juries from which she died. The evil
delce against him was furnished larEe-
ly by his wife a short time before her
death. She told the physicians and at
tendants who attended her bedside the
details of the assaults, and these as
dying declarations We're admitted In
evidence.
In the appeal the defense made a
strenuous but Intellectual effort to have
these dying declarations stricken from
the record. The court held that the
testimony was competent under the
rule laid down in the Phillips and
Brooks case and that there was no
doubt that 1t the time the woman made
the statements she believed herself to
be in the presence of death.

The plaintiff, a we'll known resident

damages in the sum Of $4,000 for al
legged injuries received in getting off
La train at Clifford last fall. About a
dozen witnesses We're examined In all
when the testimony was concluded last
evening. The attorneys will make their
argument today. The witnesses for
the plaintiff testified positively as to
the train not stopping long enough to
permit plaintiff to get off the train and
that the trainmen neglected to give
any assistance in getting her from
the train by reason of which neglect
she fell and sprained her ankle and
received severe injuries. The witnesses
for defendant could not testify as to
this particular case because they could
not remember such case but wore as

Some Interesting Contests Now
Brewing in Political Circles
in johnson County
BOTH PARTIES EXPECT TO ELECT
Republicans Gaining Strength in That
County and Will Make Strong Effort
to Elect Representative-Dave Brant,
Mayor stebbins and George W..
Swords Are Possible Candidates.
snecial to Times-Repuhlicaa.

| Special to Times-Republica1.
Iowa City, Jan. 22.-The interest in
the nomination and election struggles
OF those who hope to be legislators
from johnson county this fall will be
greater than it has been for some years.
Both republicans and democrats eX-
pect to elect their nominees this fall.
The republicans have been growing
stronger in johnson county for several
years and expect this year to wipe
out the couple hundred votes h a now
constitute the normal democratic plur-
atty. The democrats, however. point
to the majority of eight hundred re-
ceived by Judge Wade this fall and the
one thousand majority of Judge Bying-
ton in the county, and argue that their
party will be able to elect everything.
The republicans will probably IN
cede the senatorship to Iowa county
out of a desire to equity with the Iowa
county republicans. who wished h jul
dicial nomination in the district last
fall but were denied. There are a num-
Der of strong candidates in Iowa county
and johnson county republicans will
probably stand aloof until a caucus of
the Iowa county men has determined
their choice In the matter.
Hon. David Prant, editor OF the re-
publican: Mayor Frank Stebbins, and
Hon. Geo. w. Swords, the present u
ty chairman, have been suggested for
the nomination for representative. Mr.,
Swords. however, declines to be a cam
didate against either Mr.. Brant or
Mayor Stebbins. Mr.. Brant has made
mnay friends since coming here a year
ago to build up the Republican and
from his long legislative experience
would make an excellent representa-
tive. Mayor Stebbins would make a
very popular candidate for the position.
He is now serving his third term as
mayor. aitho on any other question
than Stebbins' election Iowa City is
democratic.
Hon, George w. Koontz, the present
representative. will probably be nomi-
mated by the democrats to succeed
Senator Ball this fall. Mr.. koontz
services to Johnson county and the
Second congressional district are many
and his friends will probably insist that
he be accorded the senatorial nomi-
nation In recognition of them.
For representative, a number of men
are spoken OF. AL r. Obi, recently re-
tired as supervisor, would make an ex-
cellent representative in the opinion of
many. Hon. Chas. Baker, secretary of
the Code Commission of 81 and part
ner Of Senator Ball, is another sugges-
lion. Fred Stevens and w. j. Mcdonald
are two attorneys who have been sng-
gested by the younger element of the
johnson county democracy.

The council met again on Monday
evening, but sad to relate, they We're
again unable to agree on the bowling
alley proposition. The majority of the
council favored licensing and governing
bowling alleys in the city, but the min
GRITTY would have 1T thai such a step
would be ruinous and they accordingly
voted against it. ID. w. Norris brought
up the soft water proposition, which 1t
seems needs some attention. When the
bonds for the pond were being solicited,
the Spaulding Mfg. Co. agreed to furn-
ish one-third of the funds necessary,
the Grinnell Electric & Heating Com
pany agreed to pay another third, and

scribed from the other firms and citi-
zens in town. Morrison-M Mcintosh & Co.

the funds has not yet been subscribed.
All action in both these matters was
postponed until the next council meet
ing, when they will be taken UP again
and something done about them. Mr..
Norris presented a proposition that the
city buy in advance soft water for a
term of years On terms favorable to the
city, the price of this water to be APP
piled to the citizens one.third Of cost
of soft water plant.
The Republican County Central Com
mittee held a meeting yesterday at the
Office of Secretary r. j. Bray, and de-
termined to hold the primary election
for the nomination of county officers on
Saturday March 21st. The committee
decided to submit to the voters at the
primary the proposition of whether or
not the republican party should dis
the primary system and re-
turn to the convention system of nomi-
nation officers. The primary system has
been very unsatisfactory in this county,
and the smallness of the vote which has
been polled at former primary elections
indicates that there is not a very urgent
demand for the continuance OF that
system, and the members of the COM
mittee are strictly in favor of returning
to the convention system.
