Nevada, Dec. 20.--The Des Moines,
Iowa Falls & Northwestern Railway
Company has just been made defend
ant in two damage suits, aggregating
5000 for damages because OF their
grades. The cases will come up at the
January term of the district court OF
this county. M. G.. Pearson of Har-
din county, living just over the line
from Story county says that the
company has constructed Its grades IN
such manner that they have backed
the water up on him and caused him
damage in the sum of $400. He says
that he sold the company a strip OF
land Off of the east side of his farm
for right Of way, and that upon this
land they constructed grade seven
feet high across draw which drained
his farm. In fact, he alleges that this
draw is the natural outlet for the
drainage of several hundred acres OF
land and that every time there is a
rise of water now his farm is pranti-
cally flooded and his crops suffer as
consequence. Attorney d. j. Vinje OF
this city has the plaintiffs case IN
charge
Mr.. vinje has also brought suit a.
gainst the same defendants for John
Sesle, a farmer living near Cambridge.
Mr.. Seske alleges that when he sold a
strip of right of way to the company
they agreed to give him two grace
crossings, and they now refuse TO give
him but one. For this he asks dam
ages of 5000. He also asks the com
pany to pay him $500 damages for their
failure to construct their fence along
the right of way thus depriving nun

Sioux City, Dec. 20. = Statements
from a majority but not all, of the
local insurance agents, revealed to-
tai of $1,395, 900 insurance upon prop
erty burned in last Fridays fire. In
asmuch as several agents could not be
found for statements, it Is certain
that the insurance companies will! have
from s1,5OO,0O0 to $1,750,O0O to pay
Sioux City as a result of the fire.
Insurance men say today insurance
on the buildings and stocks destroyed
Friday night will be greater than at
first expected. Many short time poll
cies were carried by merchants who
took them out for three months to pro-
tect their Christmas goods. These
would have expired the LIST day of jan
uary.
AS the fire burned many records, the
only means Sioux City insurance men
have of telling how much insurance
their companies carried, it will be all
most impossible to make a detailed

$4,000 insurance on his block, which

HOW II HE lILl RICH
WAS WRITTEN.
The way John Phillip sousa Came t'
Write the March For his Famous
Light Opera .El Captain

When sousa was writing s'El Captain, =
one OF the most successful comic operas
Of many years. he studiousiy avoided
any semblance Of march time in tne
music, presumably for the very reason
that the public would naturally anti
cipate march of some cort in Sousa
opera, and that he would demonstrate
that he not only was not overwhelmed
to march time but really avoided it save
when ne saw fit to give to the field Of
band music a special contribution.
Therefore the opero was horn and chris
tened devoid of march time. 1t has q
more or less warlilSe atmosphere, and
there was every opportunity for real
stirring martial ensemble climax, but
,sousa used the chance with otner treat
ment equally effective.
Time came for staging the opera and
the producers were enthusiastic. At
the first rehearsal one OF them suggested
that certain martial scens should be
sung in marcn time. The suggestion at
once created an impression throughout
the company as well as among the pro
ducers, and the latter set to find Sousa,
who was living Mt the Grenoble at the
time
"Loot here, Mr.. soasa,1 said the
spokesman, '.the finale of the second act
OF FL Captain offers a magnificent OPP
portunity for a grand march, and we
have come to ask you to write one es.
pecialIy to fit the spot.''
seNonsensa'' replied Sousa, SHAT il
the very thing avoided doing"
"Ah, but you do wrong! You throw
away a grand chance! Please do it"
For more than a week the famous
composer was obdurate, but so much
pressure was brought to bear that at
last he conented to write a special
march for the opera and not only that
but he put band in the scene and that
scene mas never failed to arouse an
audience tohigh pitch. This is how one
of sousa's greatest marches came to be
written.
