action and she has not forgiven or for
gotten. In former years, too, she had
hoped TO be able at some time to secure
the county seat for herself. When this
question of relocation was first breach
ed here, last Tuesday evening, 1t was
stated by those who We're supposed TO
have direct and positive information
on the subject that the feeling of an
tagonism had largely passed away. and
that assurances from some of the lead
ing men there promised the co-opera-
ton of that town in the plan of sub
people of the county. hence the devel
opments of yesterday We're surprising.
But this matter does not In the least
dampen the ardor of the managers or
of the workers in this brief campaign.
Reports last night, by phone and by
person brought the aggregate vote up
to 1900 outside the city of Grinnell. In
this city are nearly 1000 more votes in
favor of the proposition. And all this
has been accomplished in two days and
a half of bad weather and eXecrable
roads. And reports from the most re-
mote parts of the county are as en-
couraging SIS those in this immediate
vicinity. 1t is confidently predicted
that Tuesday night Will see a majority
SO large as to be in no danger from the

Ames, April 2.-P. c. Parks, colored
student who is a member of this year
graduating class in agriculture, has just
been appointed head of the agricultural
and animal husbandry work of the Ag-
ricultural and Mechanical College for
Colored People. located at Normal, Ala.
He will remain at the State College UNI
til he completes his work and will en-
ter upon his new duties about June l.,
1904. The position has Just been Gre
ated with the view of teaching the
southern negroes some of the underly-
ing principles of scientific agriculture
and live stock work
Mr.. Parks expects to devote most of
his time to the development of the live
stock industry among the colored peo-
pie. He sees a great opening for
profitable work along these lines. The
southern states have been Impoverished
by the continuous growing OF cotton
and the use of commercial fertilizers
Live stock husbandry seems to be the
only possible means of restoring the
soil fertility.
Mr. Parks has been most faithful
and conscientious student during his
four years at the State College He is
man of good personality and an able
speaker. His liking for his work and
his enthusiastic manner of expressing
himself will be of great benefit to the
colored people OF the south.

proceedings. The creditors OF Worth
are fighting hard to have the claim of
Receiver Ady. of the Sheldon State
bank. set aside and the attorneys are
fighting for every inch Of ground. The
attorneys for the creditors are endeav-

Wortti's indebt edness to the bank rep
resents Browns interest in the part
nership and therefore that in reality
Brown is indebted to the bank for the
money borrowed by the firm of N. F..
Worth, and therefore the Indebtedness
to the bank Is private obligation of
Browns and not OF the partnership
OF N F. Worth. Objections and mo-

Des Moine., April "A good deal OF
9 stir has been created Just at the close
of the session of the legislature by the
passage thru the senate of the bill to
| limit the life of consent agreement
| In regard to saloons in the state. Early
| in the session the bill was introduced
to fix limit SO that after three years
some method could be devised for COM
polling the saloon men TO secure a new
petition of consent or quit business; or
in other words a requirement for re-
opening the question of saloons at ir-
regular periods. The lobby went quiz
city to work on the measure and Sc
cured an absolute pledge from
majority of the members of the senate
that they would not permit anything of
tent. But there are always trades to
be made and deals to be considered and
before a session is over the situation
frequently ch,tnges; and so it did in
this case, and the other day the bill
was slightly amended and passed. The
amendment consists of limiting its OPP
Grafton to cities and towns of less than
5000. Under this arrangement good
many senators who live in cities felt at
liberty to vote for the measure. But
the representatives of the Retail Liquor
Dealers Association are up in arms
ever what they call a betrayal of them
selves In this manner. The bill has
gone to the house and is before the
committee on suppression of intemper-
ence. Consideration has been put off
until next Tuesday, when it is intended
that a report shall be prepared. The
chairman of the committee and con-
siderable number of the members are
favorable to the bin and a good report
is expected. The bill provides that after
three years petition Of 25 per cent of
the voters will be sufficient to require
reopening of tile question and make 1t
necessary to get n new consent petition
and have il 8 cd Oh. III it gets to the
floor of the house there will be lively

IOWA GIRL CREMATED
While Trying to Remove Trunk From

Special to Times Republican.
Mt. Pleasant, April 2.--Whfle trying
to save her trunk from the flames
which were consuming her home, Miss
Matte Fawcett, living near this place,
met horrible death last night She
entered the building against the pro-
tests of the onlookers and few hours
later the charred remains. burned al
most to cinders. were found beside the
steel hoops and bands of the trunk she
tried to save, all that was left of the
girls treasure.
Her father attempted to rescue his
daughter by following her into the blaz-
Ing structure, and was only prevented
by force from throwing himself into the
roaring furnace.
The particulars of the affair were
brought to town this morning by some
little boys who were playing near the
Fawcett home and later Coroner r. X.
Crane went out and brought the re-
mains to this city to prepare them for
burial. They presented sickening
spectacle, burned and charred beyond
all recognition as human corpse.
In fact, so little remained OF the body
that it was gathered UP in basket and
brought to the undertaking rooms
here.
The fire started in the Fawcett home
from the kitchen stove, it is thought,
about 8 o'clock last evening and the
deceased, and her aged and crippled
father, j. ]. Fawcett. Were there alone.
Mr.. James Breshnehan, who was go
ing past the house saw the smoke pour
ing from it and saw the girl rush into
the burning building to save some arti-
cles from trunk which was up stairs,
and he urged her not to CO. but she did
not heed his advice. Mr.. Breshnehan
advised her father not to go, but Mr.
Fawcett was about to rush into the
building and was with difficulty re-
strained by Mr.. Breshnehan and his
life saved.
