BOOM The Tribune wired twenty lead
ing democratic papers in Iowa asking
their views OF Iowa's attitude toward
Parker.
OF fifteen replies received only two,
by John F. Dalton of the Manson Dem
ocrat, and S. A. Brewster of the Ottum-

New Yorker. One favored Johnson
first, Parker second; another named Oh
ney first. Parker as second choice
William Jennings Bryan was also
wired by The Tribune, saying the Iowa
democratic papers We're being polled,
and asked If he could favor the paper
with an expression on behalf of his

his side of the question before the coun-

to it. However after long and thor
ough investigation of the matter and
listening to number of supreme court
decisions cited by Mr.. Funk, motion
was put that the mayor and city clerk
make a certificate as required by law,
certifying the tax to the railway COM
pany. The motion was carried. De-
cisions OF the supreme court We're
brought up in similar cases wherein
the court had held that the railway

q few disgruntled ones contend that
they will fight the matter individually.
Already many have paid the tax and
a large portion of the balance will do

of the city is such that our people are
well satisfied that it is not to undergo
the heavy expense that law suit in
this matter would have incurred.

engineers of the Panama canal, Chap
lain John Masalles and Rodriguez al
legged 16-year-old daughter have been
conducting a correspondence with
George b. Best, a prominent contrac-
tor of this city, for the past six months.
The object of the Spanish correspond
ends has been to secure the advance of
$500 in money to pay for the passage of
the 16-year-old girl to this country,
where Mr. Best might undertake her
guardianship, and incidentally the
charge OF the wealth left her by her
father. Mr.. Best has conducted the
correspondence far enough to secure
discriminating evidence of the fraud
which was attempted on him. This he
will furnish to the authorities in Mad
rid.
Mr.. Best has an uncle in Spain who
was Panama engineer. He has never
seen him nor heard of him, because of
a family quarrel until the alleged Luis
Rodriguez Best communicated with
him. This uncle, self-alleged, asserted
some six months ago in a letter which
-
he said he was enabled to smuggle from
his prison by the aid of his dear chap
plain, that he had converted most of his
wealth into gold and was leaving
France, because he was wanted by the
French authorities because of his im-
portant connection with the Panama
canal. He reached Spain and was there
thrown into prison at the request of
France For resisting his arrest he was
detained for q long term In Spain. and
realizing his hopeless condition desired
to make arrangements for the care of his
