RAILS ACROSS RIVER.
The Burlington Running Trains
over the Des Moines.

Tracy, July 21.-The rails across the
Des Moines river on the line Of the
Burlington Route were connected Sat
urday evening as the last bent was
completed. Two gangs of men had
been hard at work all week to com
plete the driving of piling so that a
crossing could be made. 1t was
thought that the work would be com
pleted earlier in the week but the task
was by no means slight one and 1t
was Saturday evening before the rails
were connected and it became posi-
BILE for trains to cross the river
The two gangs of men, one working
from the west bank with the large new
pile driver with the latest mechanism
and the gang working with pile driy-
er on the barge from the east bank
with an old fashioned machine, stirred
up considerable competition in their
work. The barge men declared that
the new machine was no better and
could accomplish no more work than
they could with their old style ma
chine, and they proceeded to demon.
strate the correctness of their claims.
The barge men on days work could
succeed in driving more piling than
could the more modern machine. 1t
was a pretty big triumph for the gang
on the barge and resulted in not a lit
tie sport during the week.
Now that connection has been made
over the river 1t will be possible to
hurry material along with which to
build the switch to the Bolton-Hoov
mine. The building of this spur, which
is about three miles in length, will oc-
cupy perhaps twenty days and when
completed will give the road, connec,
ton with coal supply.
The work on the bridge Will be
pushed as rapidly as men can be
placed on the job. The next thing is
the completing and strengthening of
the false structure and the building OF
the several piers upon which the steel
structure is to rest. The ballasting OF
the road will be commenced In the
near future and will be pushed to com
pletion. Yet by using all Of the men
that can be secured for the work, it is
not likely that the piece Of work will
be turned over to the management and
operating department before October
first.

The little girl is a daughter of Mr.
and Mrs. James Holden. Mrs. Newton
was formerly Mrs, Holden, from whom
she was divorced to marry this man
Newton.
The evidence is pretty strong and
corroborative. The officers have been
quietly working up the case until the
evidence was deemed complete and
the arrest was made before he realized
that he was under suspicion.

MARRIAGES,
Lawyers of Iowa Opposed to Pro
posed Legislation.

Des Moines, July 17.--After siren
uous. session, in which a majority Of
the lawyers present led by Judge Wal
ter I. Smith, of Council Bluffs, express
ed themselves as opposed to restrict
ing marriages, the Iowa State Bar as
ISOLATION to-day went on record as op
posing the marriage of mental, physI
cal or moral degenerates, but at the
same time refused to pass a measure
restricting marriages so that persons
of weak or unsound mind could not
procure license. "..
The matter was brought up by the
law reform committee, the report Of
which was presented by Judge l.. G.
Kline. The committee reported fav
oring the restriction OF marriage Ii
cense issuance so that the county
clerk could refuse to issue licens
to any person whom he knew or be
lieved to be of weak and unsound
mind. Judge H. M. Remley, of Ana
mosa, was the author of the measure
and championed it; while it was op
posed by Walter I. Smith, of Council
Bluffs, Judge c. L. Nourse, of Des
Moines, Mr.. Maybury, CT Centerville
George H. Woodson, of Oskaloosa, and
other attorneys, members of the state
association.
Judge Walter I. Smith led the oppo
sition, declaring that the great menace
to society is not from people living to
gether, in marriage, but from people
living together, outside of marriage;
and that any such measure of restric
ton as proposed by Judge Remley
would lead to iiegitimate unions, if il
prohibited the parties from living to
gether legally. Judge Nourse, Of Des
Moines, then spoke in favor of restrict
ing physical, rather than mental, dis
abilities and said if any thing should
be done it should be the appointment
of a medical commission to examine
the would-be' bride and groom, physi
cally, and stop physical degeneracy
and mismatement.

FELL IN A HOLE.
Bob Peiffer Could Not Drag the Hole
in After Him.

Hedrick, July 21.-A funny accident
happened out on theOliver Helm farm
Bob Peiffer was digging a big corner
post hole and had sat down on the
side of the hole to rest. In some man
ner he slipped and dropped in with his
knees doubled up against his chest
He slipped down very easily, but could
not in any way raise himself. The
hole was almost four feet deep and
there was no other way but for Mr.
Helm to dig him out. 1t was a hard
task and took almost three hours to
free the captive. He was somewhat
cramped as a result of the close quar-
tiers, but is now none the worse for the
affair.
