Indianola, Nov. 3-The stock ship
pers in this vicinity are planning a
boycott" on the Rock Island railway
because OF the poor service they have
recently been giving here. For some
time the service on the branch between
here and Des Moines has been such
that shippers are unable to get their
stock into Chicago until a day late,
which means a big shrinkage in the an
FINALS. The accommodations train be-
tween Winterset and Des Moines is
supposed to leave Indianola at o'clock,
which would enable them to make con-
nections with the fast service into
Chicago. but 1t does not arrive here
until after O'clock. and in consequence
OF the delay in switching, etc. does
not make the connections The stock
men are now shipping their stuff to
Chicago on the Burlington via Chart
ton. The poor service, 1t is said, Is
also damaging to the packing house at
Des Moines, as shippers are sending
the stuff that would go to them to the
packing house at Ottumwa. The out
come of the stock shippers fight on the
Rock Island is awaited with interest.

Erection of Permanent HON e
For Presiding Elder of

Special to Times Republican.
Council Bluffs. Nov. 3.--The Metro-
dists OF southwest Iowa are planning
something new in church circles-the
erection OF permanent home for the
presiding elder of the Council Bluffs
district The movement Is already UNI
der way, and IL the plans do not fall
there is every prospect THAT a hand
some $4,000 residence Will be built in
this city next year for the use OF the
districts presiding elders.
The project was discussed at con-
ference of ministers at Hamburg last
week. and committee appointed to
take up the work, with THE following
members: Presiding Elder Griffith,
Rev. A. E. Buriff. Rev. w. j. Stratton
and Rev. Graves. representing the min
listers OF the ddStrict and c. c. Clifton
and c. H. Parks. of Council Bluffs, and
L. w. Pierce, of Denison. representing
The laymen.
The board OF trustees has been Civ
en- full power to act. and 1t will soon
hold meeting to devise plans for the
formation OF 9 building fund. 1t is
likely that a per capita assessment
will be favored. There are between
5000 and 10000 members Of the Meth
odist church in the Council Bluffs dis
trict. and 1t is believed an assessment
of 81 each could be made and easily
collected without working any hard
ship ON the church people. This fund
OF $4,000 Is estimated to ba ample to
build suitable home for the presiding
elder in this city. The erection OF the
building, however, would not be com
menced until considerable portion of
the tax has been collected.
The idea of permanent home for
the presdd ding elder Is new one in the
west. and II the Council Bluffs district
decides to build one 1t will be the first
in the state. However. in the older dis
tricts OF the east the presiding elders
are frequently accorded permanent
houses at the principal city in the dis
trict 1t Is argued that the presiding
elder as the head of the district, Is as
much entitled to and In need Of per-
manent and suitable home as any Of
the pastors under him.

Instituted In Justice William A. This
been given by Miss Ruth Richardson

West, keeper of a lying-in hospital in
northwest Des Moinea Miss Richard
son is asked to pay $3.50 for the adop-
ton Of the baby, which was born in
the home several months ago. 1t so
happens that Miss Richardson, after
giving birth to the child, so loved the
baby that she would not part with It,
Her shame was made known to her
parents who reside on a farm near
Rockwell City, and the mother immedi-
ately declared that there was no use
giving up the child. Mrs. Richardson
came at once to Des Moines and took
the baby. Efforts We're made by Mrs.
West to secure the child, who she
claims is her own property until the
$3.50 is paid.
Miss Richardson has addressed a let
ter to the Humane Society setting forth
her side Of the case and asking what
she shall do She admits having agreed
with Mrs. West to pay $3.50 to have
the child adopted dnto some home after
Its birth. She also claims that Mrs.
West is Indebted to her for a sum equal
to $40 or more for work done in the
laundry at the home, and for other
duties performed in the capacity of
domestic at the home.
The child is now an possession of Mrs.
Richardson, who insists that she doesn't
charge anything at all for its care or
adoption. Mrs. Richardson has adopted
the baby as her very own and says that
she took the step Of her free will and
was not Influenced by Mrs. West to
take the baby. The note calls for the
payment of $3.50 for certain services
and the Richardson's claim that Mrs.
West has not performed the service.
The note was sold by Mrs. West to
her attorney, Harry holland, and by
him to man named Rogers who brings

". H. UPTON IN TACOMA
Would Like to See Puget Sound Get
Share of the WaIIa WaIIa
Trade.

Attorney w. H. Upton, of Walla
Walla, arrived in the city last night
from Olympia en- route home, says the
Tacoma Ledger. Business connected
with Masonic work brought him to
Tacoma but Mr.. Upton makes it a
practice to call on his friends here be-
fore returning to the grain city. He
is an enthusiast over the subject of
distributing the trade of that part of
the state in which he resides but
does not believe in giving it all to
one city. Especially is he opposed to
giving it to a city outside of the state,
but he thinks it is the duty of the sec
ton that gets it to do something in re-
turn.
Il want to see Puget Sound get the
trade of Walla Walla, and by this
mean all cities on the Sound, because
| don't think there is any necessity for
its going to just one place and being
centered there. The people Of Taco
ma, for instance, have been altogether
too busy building up a city at home
to think Of their neighbors, and they
have not been sociable with Walla
Walla. What we say to you is, give
us a call. Come at any time of the
day or night. The latchstring is al
ways on the outside, and you will
find a hearty welcome wherever you
go in Walla Walla. Come and sample
us that you want our trade, and we
will show you that we are glad to
give it to you. Outside sites, and
by this 1 mean cities not in the state
of Washington, have taken quite an
interest in Walla Walla, as you know,
and 1t behOOves Puget Sound to look
to its laurelS. When a girl gets new
beau, it's up to the old boy to spruce
up and think over things. with a view
To winning back her favor, and that's
just the situation in Walla Walla
There are many ways in which the
Puget Sound country might benefit
by cultivating the Walla Walla coun-
try, but if the people here don't pro-
tect their own interests it seems as
If some outsiders will come in after
all and carry off the cake"
