IOWA FARMERS
ARE DETERMINED
They Are .Persisting In Their
Plans to Organize Against
the Meat Trust.
TO MEET IN DES MONIES
J. !. Ryan Of Fort oigs Is Push
ing the Project for a State Organ
izatioa-After Railroads and Pack
ers' Trust.

Fit Dodge, Jan. 8.-There has been
no abandonment of the plan OF Iowa
cattle raisers to unite against the
meat trust J. j. Ryan OF this city, q
large land owner and heavy cattle
shipper, Is identified with the move
ment and he is pushing it vigorously
by letters and otherwise. lie urges
An early convention and one will be
held. Des Moines has been agreed
upon for a meeting some date this
month, but the actual day has not
been decided upon
Mr.. Ryan when asked about the
matter, said that such a movement
was on foot, and that a meeting
would be held at Des Moines some
time during the present month. Mr..
Ryan said that he knew of no fight on
the commission men, as they were
generally considered the best friends
OF the meat producers, but that there
were several matters with reference
TO the railroads and the packers trust
that needed attention.
Just what course will be pursued
by the cattle men when they meet
has not been decided upon. One thing
has been agreed upon. however. and
that is that there will be no fight on
the commission men who are regard
ed as good friends OF the meat pro-
ducers.
The movement Is calculated to be-
come general in its character, and
already several other states are or
ganized, and it Is not impossible that
the state organizations may affiliate
with the National Live Stock assO-
citation in their movement to estab.
lish plants at the various markets.

HUSBAND KILLS RIVAL.
Knoxville Is The Scene Of Probable
Murder.

Knoxville, Jan. 11.-Saturday at
about 6 o'clock p. m. F. M. Stallings.
a liveryman of this place. who was
tried and exonerated at Newton two
months ago en- the charge Of being
an accessory to the theft of team
fatally wounded by Charles Bridges,
a young and highly respected farmer
living near knoxville.
The trouble between the two men
was the result OF quarrel of long
standing, it being alleged by Bridges
that several years ago Stallings had
alienated the affections Of his wife,
from whom he has since separated.
Bridges claims that Stallings was re-
sponsible for the ruin of his home.
Saturday shortly before 6 o'clock
Mrs. Bridges and Stallings met on
street corner and stopped to talk to-
gether for a few minutes. AS they
parted, Mrs. Bridges having started
in the direction Of her home, Bridges
himself suddenly appeared, and rush
ing up to Stallings, who was still
standing where Mrs. Bridges had left
him, at once drew revolver and be-
gan shooting. He shot at Stallings
three times, the first bullet taking
effect in the pit of the stomach and
abdomen. The other bullets went
wide Of the mark.
Bridges and Stallirgs had exchang.
ed no words before the shooting &C.
Cured but after he had fired the IA
tai shot, Bridges said to Stallings:
You cur. you ruined my family, and
now I've fixed you for it.
Stallings, fatally wounded, stag
gered into a restaurant near by
where he was taken care of, while
Bridges at once gave himself up to
the police. He was at Clce charged
with attempted murder, but was re-
leased on $4,000 bonds, which he fur
nished Immediately. Stallings is not
yet dead, but his attending physician
says that he has about one chance in
twelve to recover. His death is ex-
pected hourly.
Believing he would die, StallingS
made a statement in which he said
that he was returning to his store af-
ter srpper and met Mrs. Bridges,
purely by accident, on the street.
stopping for a few moments to talk
with her as with any acquaintance
He declares Bridges unjustly sus-
pected him.
Stallngs has wife and daughter.
and is about 40 years Of age. Bridges
is about 80 years old. Both men
are very popular in the community.

Very Great Compliment Paid the r

Des Moines, Jan. 1.-THE demo-
Gratis in the house of the Thirtieth
General Assembly will put up no can
didates for the house positions, but
will cast their votes for the repub-
lican caucus candidates.
This action was taken Saturday nf-
ternoCn at a democratic house caucus,
held at the Savery.
1t Is a courtesy which was extend
ed Speaker Eaton and the house, two
years ago and the same courtesy was
extended this year. A committee OF
three, consisting of Representatives
a. +. Frudden of Dubuque, Thomas
Geneva of Keokuk, and e. J. Sankey
of Decatur, was appointed to inform
Speaker Clarke of the action of the
caucus.
Speaker Clarke responded to the
courtesy by replying that he appre-
ciated the honor and would always
do so and that his appreciation
would find expression in something
more than words and would charac-
terlze all his actions in the house and
in his treatment of members.

small opening Of the duct when he
got out and that he left it in the COM
mittee room No. S when he went
away, swearing positively that he
took the candle out Of the duet.
When it was suggested by Cover
nor Cummins that it would be difficult
for him to find room to draw his body
out Of the duct with the candle on
the ledge, he insisted that this was
possible.
Careful examination of the ruins al
the state house seems to force the,
conclusion that the earlier estimates
of the damage were too high. Cover
nor Cummins' estimate OF 100000
was probably the most nearly cor
rect, while it may be even less than
that.
However this Is basing an estimate
on the actual cost of replacing the
building. AS it will be rebuilt, with
additional improvements and more
complete FIRE protection, the cost will
run close to 100000 or over. The
cost of the waA decorations alone lie
considerable, and will run high.

executive council. At the urgent re-
quest of the council, the commission
consented to take up the work OF ex-
aiming the extent of the damage
done and Of reporting upon plans OF
repair. The report will be ready
about Saturday and will be submitted
to the executive council and by them
given to the legislature.
