BIENNIAL ELECTIONS URGED.
Organization to Further Cause Of
One Reform.


One Reform. a
Des Moines, June 29.--It is learned
that persons who are interested in
the biennial elections amendment to
the state constitution of Iowa, are
preparing to perfect some sort of an
organization, probably at the time of
The next state convention, for the pur-
pose Of furthering the cause of the
amendment which would do away with
half the elections in the state. They
fear that a large body Of politicians
will! oppose the amendment because
it. would lessen the chance for polit.
ical activity and in view of the small
vote for it two years ago the amend.
ment might be beaten.
The amendment comes up for a
vote in November. It Is substantially
the same as the amendment offered
four years ago, and it would abolish
all general elections in odd numbered
years. aW..r.
TIE belief prevails that unless there
is some aggressive work for the amend.
ment it VIII not carry this year.

THINK HAVE MURDERERS.
TWO Desperate Characters Arrested
Near Lincoln for Gallup Murder.

Near Lincoln for Gallup Murder.
Lincoln, Neb, June 29.-The mar
shall of Waverly, village twelve
miles east of Lincoln, made two ar.
rests last evening of suspects who
are held on the theory that they were
the murdarers of George Gallup, near
West Liberty, Iowa, last week. At
Waverly the prisoners held up and
robbed telephone lineman from Lin
coin, securing $40 in money. They
were chased into wheat field and
captured after show Of resistance.
The description of the prisoners
tallies almost infinitely with the West
Liberty murderers and they will be
brought to Lincoln tomorrow by the
sheriff and held until the Iowa otfic.
ers can come here to complete the
Identification.
Gallup's murder was fiendish af.
fair. After being robbed, his slayer
drove catsup bottle through the
navel into his abdomen, leaving him
unconscious by the road to die. Gal.
lup recovered his senses, but was so
weak that it took him over day to
crawl to the nearest farmhouse, a
mile and a half distant. A surgeon
removed the bottle by making an in
cision. but he died from blood poison.

ment.
RUSSIANS ARE FALLING BACK

Mountain Passes General Oku is
Pressing Forward On Heels of tho
Retreating Russian Forces.

st. Petersburg, June 29.-The Asso.
ciated Press is informed on good au-
thority that General Kuropatkin has
decided to wl.-draw northward.
Seoul, Korean, June est is ru.
mored here that the Russian Vladi-
vostok squadron has again left that
port.
London, June "a dispatch to the
Central News from Toxic says 1t IS
reported that another Russian battle
ship has been discovered stranded Off
Tiger rock. 1t is presumed she was
wrec ed while returning to Port Ar
thur after the recent naval engage
ment.
St. Petersburg, June 29.-No fur.
Their advices from the front had been
received up to midnight, though news
from General Kuropatkin and Rear
Admiral Without Tin command OF tn
naval force at Port Arthur was
eagerly awaited The usual rumors
of heavy fighting pervaded the city,
but they were based wholly on the
fact that the armies are in close
touch. -H
Though it appears now from Cen
eral Kuropatkin's tactics that heavy
engagement may be deferred for
some days, it is possible that the Jap
Hnese may rush matters, but 1t is not
generally expected here that General
Kuropatkin will give battle until he
reaches a position of his own selec'
ton.
1t may clarity the military situation
to explain that the country in which
the armies are now coming into con-
tact consists of series of mountain
chains running parallel with the rail-
way along side of which the Rus.
slams are falling back as the japanese
advance Fen Shut, Mo Tien and Da'
lin are all passes which take their
names from the mountains over which
they run. General kurOkl, who has
heretofore been east Of these noun
tans, is advancing to the westward
| from Stu Yen through very rough
country and his columns must tray
erse the passes named before emerg'
| ing into the more open country along
| the railway, approximately abreast OF
| Ia Tche Kiao, Hal Cheng and Lilac
Yang. The Russian outposts and the
| Japanese advance are now in close
| touch at all these passes. The Rus
SLAMS after harrassing the japanese
advance from each of these positions
are falling back on General Kuropat
kin's main body, which is supposed
| to be somewhere between Lao Yang
and Ia Tche Kiao
General kuropat1in is now moving
slowly northward along the railway
| and wherever he makes his stant
there will be precipitated what is ex
oected to be the decisive battle of the
campaign. DE-
In the meantime General Oku Is
advancing along the railroad on tn,
heels of the withdrawing Russians
| He is backed by powerful army
| How large portion of this army he
has detached to join General Kurok
! has not been developed, but it is pos
sibly large enough to add materia
severity to the fighting before the
Russians finally abandon the noun
! tains.
There is the greatest eagerness fol
news from Port Arthur, but nothing
concerning the situation there was
known up to midnight.

STRIKES AT STANDARD OIL.
George Rice, Foe For Thirty Years
Sacks It's Dissolution,

George Rice, Fee For Thirty Years
Seeks Its Dissolution.
New York, June 29.-Tak!ng heart
from the decision of the United States
Supreme Court in the Northern Sc
curities case, George Rice of Marietta
Ohio, who has been fighting the Stan
dard Oil Company for thirty years, has
begun an action in New Jersey to dis
solve that corporation and distribute
it's assets among its share holders
This proceeding marks a new and
possibly the final chapter in con
test which has cost Mr.. Rice a for
tune and has occupied large part
of his life. The fight began in Ohio
and first attracted public notice IL
1879 and 1880 Mr.. Rice appeared be
fore legislative committees seeking
relief from the alleged discrimina
tons which he charged threatened te
put him out Of business
Mr.. Rice years ago went to the
United States Court for relief, bu'
found none. He pressed his charges
vigorously before the interstate com
merce commission, but the plea 0,
lack Of jurisdiction prevented sub
stantial results. One hundred rail-
roads were involved directly or indi
rectly in his proceedings. In 1892 he
secured an order from the Ohio courts
for a dissolution of the corporation
but he charges that this has been
evaded. Now, when he is nearly "
wears of age, he sees hope Of success
in the decision Of the United State;
Supreme Court in what he regards
as a parallel case-that OF the great
railroad merger. -
Mr.. Rice declares he will never
give up his fight until he succeeds OF
physical or menta4 infirmities remove
him from the business world.
