TO I0WA's GLORY.
hawkeye State Remembers Her
Heroic Sons.

| Iowa has erected a fitting statue in
memory of her sons, who participated
in the battle of Lookout Mountain,
Tenn. Francis Lynde, in telling Of
this in the Chattanooga Times. says
that the Iowa troops consisted of the
Fourth, Fifth, Sixth, Ninth, Tenth,
Seventeenth, Twenty-fifth, Twenty
sixth, Thirtieth and Thirty-first infan-
tries and the First Iowa battery which
had come in from the west with Sher-
man. But in the movements which
placed Sherman on the extreme left
of the Union lines, only General j. A.
Wiiliamson's Iowa brigade of Osterhaus
First division OF the Fifteenth Army
corps remained with Hooker in the
Wills valley. This brigade was COM
posed of the Fourth, Ninth, Twenty fifth,
Twenty-siXth, Thirtieth and Thirty
first infantries, and the first battery
and the other regiments crossing with
Sherman at Browns ferry, became a
part of the force which was to distin-
guish itself in the stubborn fight on the
left.
"The monument, the first of the three
Iowa memorials to be erected in the
vicinity of Chattanooga, is fine gran
itc shaft surmounted by the figure Of
color-bearer, heroic size, also done in
granite. From the sward to the top
Of the figure the height is fifty feet.
The base is fifteen feet square, at the
corners are four round pillars, capped
with piles of granite round shot.
There are three pedestal courses, re-
ceding by regular steps from the wide
base. and on the third stands the die,
a massive cube cut from a solid piece
Of stone, and weighing eleven and one
half tons. On the southeast face of the
die, fronting the road which leads up
from the main driveway of the battle
field park, is an outline map of the
state of Iowa, with this inscription:
Iowa remembers her patriot sons
who went forth at the call of duty to
honor their country in the dreadful
carnage of war +"
A noble sentiment is contained in an
other inscription which reads:
"May the heroism which dedicated
this lofty field to immortal renown be
as imperishable as the union is eternal -
Iowa memorials are also to be erected
on Sherman Heights and at Rossyille
Gap, the total cost of the three monu-
yments being S85,090. 1t is said in the
same article that few of the states have
done better than Iowa in the monu-
ments erected to their troops on this
field

OPPOSES HILLS PLAN
e. II. HARTMAN OBJECTS TO RAT.
ABLE DISTRIBUTION OF Sc
cURITIEs STOCK.

st. Paul. April ga petition for
permission to intervene in the suit of
the United States against the North
ern Securities company has been
served by E. H. Hartman, Winslow S.
Pierce and the Oregon Short Line, as
stockholders in the Northern Securi-
ties company, upon NJ. D. Grover, c.
w. Bum and George 3. Young, attor-
neys for the Northern Securities com
pany.
This action is brought by the plain
tits in order to be heard on the ques.
ton of the method of distributing the
shares of the two railroad companies,
the Great Northern and the Northern
Pacific. They contend that the dis.
tribution of the stock should not be
made ratably, as proposed in a cir.
cular issued recently by the Northern
derstood that Mr.. Hartman signed
the circular.
In their petition they pray that each
shareholder, or his assigns, who sold
shares to the Northern Securities com.
pany. should receive back from the
company the stock that he sold. Those
that sold great Northern to get Great
Northern and those that sold North
ern Pacific stock to get the same stock
back when distribution is made.
E. H. Hartman is opposed to a rat
able distribution of stock because un-
der the system of distribution as pro-
posed in the petition in Intervention
he will secure controlling interest
in the stock of the Northern Pacific,
as he held the bulk of that stock.

KILL THE MESSENGER
MASKED MEN ROB A TRAIN ON
THE SOUTHERN PACIFIC
At coPLEY, CAL.

Sacramento, CAL, April 2.-Three
masked men held up the Oregon
express, southbound, on the Southern
Pacific railroad at Copley, near Kes-
wick, killed w. ]. O'Neil, the express
messenger, and carried off the contents
of the express box.
The train is known as No. Is and
stopped at Copley, small station, for
water. AS the train came to a stand
still three men jumped on and cut the
train in two, taking the engine and
express car down the track a short
distance. They stopped the engine
and demanded that Messenger O'Neil
open the express car. He refused,
whereupon they blew up the express
car with dynamite and deliberately
killed O'Neil by shooting him through
the head. The bandits then robbed
the car of its contents, but it is not
known how much they obtained.

COMMISSION WINS OUT
ANTHRACITE ROADS MUST PRO.
pUcE CONTRACTS WITH THE
COAL COMPANIES.

Washington, April 5.-The case Of
the Interstate Commerce Commission
VS.. Baird, commonly known as the
anthracite coal case, has been decided
by the supreme court of the United
States in favor of the contentious Of
the commission, the decision of the
United States circuit court for the
Southern district of New York being
reversed.
This is the case instituted before
the commission by w. R. Hearst of
New York, who alleged discrimination
by the railroad companies which
reached the anthracite coal mines in
Pennsylvania. During the hearing
some of the witnesses refused to pro-
duce certain contracts bearing upon
the business of the railroad companies
and the coal mines, which action was
upheld by the circuit court of New
York. The United States supreme
court holds that the contracts should
have been supplied. The opinion was
handed down by Justice Day.

Opposition.

in complete possession of Korea and
the first stage Of the campaign ended.
According to the Daily Nails Kobe,

ing the report from Shanghai that
japanese scouts entered Win, Korea,
at II o'clock a. m. Monday and that
the Russians apparently retreated be-
yond the Yalu river, but no further
news of any kind is to hand throwing
light on either land or sea operations.
Everything, however, is regarded as
pointing to the imminence of import
ant developments.
The Daily Nails Seoul correspond

the landing of japanese troops at

BRYAN LOSES ON APPEAL.
Sealed Letter Rejected as Evidence q
Bennett Will Case.

Bennett Will Case.
New Haven, Conn, April Ia find.
ing that the sealed letter by which
Philo s. Bennett expressed a wish that
$4,000 should be given to William
Jennings Bryan and his family was not
a part of the last will of Mr.. Bennett
was returned by the jury in the SUI
perfor court in the trial of Mr.. Bryan's
appeal from the decision Of the pro-
bate court. The finding, which up
holds the decision Of the probate court.
was given In accordance with instruc-
lions to the jury from Judge eager.
who presided at the superior court
trial. Judge Gager's ruling on ques-
ton which has never before come d.
rectly before the courts of Connect
cut. decided that the sealed letter
could not be admitted as evidence in
the trial.
As Mr.. Bryan's appeal was based on
the exclusion of this letter as part Of
the will in the probate court, the de-
cision of Judge eager that 1t could not
be admitted as evidence practically
concluded the proceedings in the su-
perior court, and the Jury was &C.
cordingly directed to bring in YER
dict against Mr.. Bryan. An appeal
viii be taken TO the supreme court.
