DIES MONIES. Jan. 31-CSpecial. AN et-
fort was made today to end a big damage
suit which was submitted to the supreme
court only a few days ago. Sophia Olsen
had sued S. J. Anderson for damages for
breach of promise Of marriage and had OBJ
tanned in the district court at Fort Dodge
a judgment for $40, 900. This week Senator
Healey. representing Mrs. Olsen. and R. NJ.
Wright. representing Anderson, appeared
before the court and submitted his appeal
from the verdict. Today the couple ap-
peared before Chief Justice Bishop with a
marriage license and asked him to marry
them. She also presented to him a state
ment in which she made accusations against
Senator Healey, alleging that he alone was
responsible for the lawsuit and that she
had never intended to sue Anderson, etc.
incidentally, 1t was stated that Healey was
TO get a 5000 fee II he won his case. They
asked that this paper be filed with the rec
ord OF marriage and It was evident that
they expected 1t would be the basis for re-
fusal to pay the attorney fees in The case.
But Chief Justice Bishop refused to marry
the couple or receive the statement in
which accusations we're made against the
attorney. II is expected they will get a
Justice Of the peace to marry them and
;hus escape, II possible, payment Of the at
tCrneys in the case.
Iowa to Send a Regiment
1t is probable that Iowa will have a reg
iment of the National Guard at St. Louis on
the occasion of the dedication Of the
grounds of the st. Louis exposition, April
80 next. Adjutant General Byers and Gov
ernor Cummins had a conference today and
both are earnestly in favor of sending a
regiment. It is probable that the regiment
with the ranking colonel will be selected to
go and this would be the regiment com
manded by Colonel Lincoln of Ames. The
governor will go with his full military
staff and will be accompanied by state on
GERS and others. The Iowa commission will
meet at st. Louis at the same time.
Miners on a Strike.
About 1853 miners went on a strike Friday
noon at the Gibson coal mine near Altoona.
They are still out and will probably so re-
main for several days. The cause OF the
trouble is said to be that the mine boss,
Mr.. Gibson, refused to permit a young man
named Smith to work in a room by himself.
He said he considered Smith too inexperi-
enced and incompetent to have the respon-
sibility of a room. The pit committee OF
the miners insisted, and when Gibson re.
fused they ordered the men to quit work
as they alleged 1t was a case of unjust and
prejudiced discrimination

Candidate for Commander.
Information was received in this city TO
day by members of the Grand Army o
the Republic that the H. NJ. Powers pos
at Scranton will present to the encamp
ment the name of P. A. Smith of Scranton
for department commander. II had beef
generally supposed that l.. B. Raymond o
Hampton would be selected without oppo
sition. P. A. Smith is editor of a news
| paper at Scranton and a few years ago wa
in the house Of representatives. He wal
a private in the Eighth Iowa infantry AM
was captured at Shiloh and served SOM
time in a prison. He carries a ball in hi
neck which was received in 1864. Boil

New Members of Bar Committee.
The supreme court today appointed ]. II
lthu'l VI luulhuOld anu W - htuyOl
of Fort Dodge to be members of the Bal
Examining commission. Both are forme.
district judges.
The supreme court decided for a secont
time today that the tax ferret law so fal
as il gives the county auditors power t
go back and correct assessments by plac,
ing on the tax lists the property which ha.
been found By tax ferrets TO be omitted
gives that power no further than the cur,
rent year. This was in a case from Black.
hawk county. The county auditors hav,
been going back several years to perform
the act of correcting the tax lists. Tn,
court holds this is wrong.
