SLAYER MUST PAY DAMAGES.
Jury Awards $1,000 to the Estate of
Notorious leonidas.

Davenport, Nov. leone thousand
Collars damages for the killing of
Ellsworth Leonidas on the steamer
Dubuque, July 10, 1902. was returned
by jury against Mate Dan Breen
and the Diamond 10 company. The
defendants were sued by p. w. Nc
Manus, administrator of the estate
of Ellsworth Leonidas, who, with his
father, was shot and killed by Breen
while the couple were en- route from
Rock Island to point up the river.
Breen claimed selfdefense on the
trial of the criminal case against
him and this was also pleaded in the
present litigation. The jury finds,
however, that the company is liable
through the act OF its agent, Breen.
There is rumor that the criminal
side of the matter will be brought to
the attention of the grand jury.

CUBAN AGREEMENT REACHED
Programme for Reciprocity Treaty 10
Fully Mapped Out.


Washington, Nov. 12.--An agree
ment was reached last night between
the leaders of the house and the SEN
ate in regard to the Cuban reciproc-
ity bill. The exact language to be
incorporated into the measure was
fixed upon and is generally satisfac-
tory.
The republicans OF the house and
the senate will stand solidly by the
bill which will be in fact the senate
treaty which was approved last
spring.
The bill will be introduced prob
ably today after the announcement
of the personnel of the ways and
means committee, and the commit
tee will report Friday. Monday will
be fixed as the date for the debate
and it is likely tina. the greater part
of the week wAl be consumed in the
discussion. To expediate matters a
bill will be brought in Monday pro-
hibiting amendments.
When the bill is put upon its final
passage certain republicans will vote
against the bill to keep the record
straight, having previously opposed
1t, but the measure will pass by a
large majority; in fact many demo-
Gratis will support 1t. Colonel Hep
burn was the only member of the
Iowa delegation to vote against the
bill when it passed the house last
session, but he will vote for it next
week. The measure will go TO the
senate committee ON foreign rela-
tons instead of the committee ON
finance, and be reported back to the
senate at once exactly as 1t passed
the house. While there will be de-
bate In the senate. undoubtedly the
house bill will finally pass the senate
without amendmant

sa5o,ooo FIRE AT Abba.
Started at Night While Fierce Wind
Was Blowing.

Abba, Nov. 13.--With two fires rag.
ing at once, famed by terrific gale,
Albia's best business section was laid
waste yesterday morning and did not
cease until s250,OO0 damage had been
wrought.
From 2 o'clock until well toward
noon the two fires ragged furiously.
The two local fire engines were re-
inforced by one from Charlton, but
they were utterly powerless to combat
the deadly onward march Of the
flames, supported by the heavy wind.
The first fire started in the base
ment Of Loves dry goods store. No
one knows how 1t started and 1t was
blazing rapidly when discovered. 1t
destroyed everything In its path for
a half block north from the southwest
corner of the square. Two dry goods
stores, one grocery store, bank, q
cigar factory and law Office were
wiped out.
Within a short time after the dis
covery OF this fire another alarm was
received from the big lumber yard
two blocks north of the square. This
fire was the fiercer of the two and
did not stop until the lumber yard, a
livery barn, and a number of resi-.
de0ces for one block in either direc-
tion were a mass of ruins.
Losses, as nearly as they can be
estimated, are as follows:

rier because it presaged the beginning
of his troubles. Long drives through
the country with the thermometer
| lowering near the zero mark are new
er pleasant when taken but seldom,
| but to the carrier of rural route
these are of daily occurrence. With
| the coming of winter the rural car
rier will not be as prompt in his de-

The farmer patrons of the rural

and the country, too. for that mat

the many causes that will delay the
mail carrier in his daily trips between
now and spring. Trains will be delay
ed as they always are in cold weather
and the mails as result will fail to
reach postofiices on schedule time.
The carrier on many occasions will get
late start on his daily trip, and the
! roughness of the roads and the UNI
certain weather will affect his time

not be his fault.
The Carriers Duties.
This is an appropriate time to adj
wise the farmers who are patrons of
| the rural route to observe patience,
/ If that carrier of theirs does not ar
rive at the hour he has been ac-
| custonled to during the past seven or
eight months. The farmer who is
fortunate enough to be located on a
rural route should feel cheerful over
his situation. He should remember
that he has an advantage to be
appreciated which the fellow living
| away off in the baclkwoods, miles dis
tant from rural route, has not had
| the fortune to enjoy. Here are some
things which patrons and carriers
! may do we'll to refresh their memo

itural carriers are not required to
| deliver mail to houses standing back
from the main road except in cases
of registered mail, special delivery
and pension letters.
| The patrons are expected to meet

performance of their duties by keep
| ing the roads open after heavy snow
falls. and by using their influence with
| the proper authority to maintain them
| in good repair at all seasons of the
year and under all sorts of weather
conditions.
Rural carriers must not act as
agents, statesmen or solicitors for ex-
| press companies, wholesale houses,
