Special to Times Republican.
Primghar, Feb. A. - The prosecution
of Ed G.. Brown. of Sheldon, Iowa. Iowa
railroad commissioner, for fraudulent
banking. will be tried at this place dur
ing the February term Of court. the
ease being called for February %. Mr.
Brown was indicted after the failure
of the Sheldon State bank, of which
he was president. The OBrien coun-
ty grand fury returned number OF
indictments, each charging that MI
Brown received deposits after he knew
the bank was insolvent. 1t is expected
by those familiar with the case that
the state will introduce evidence to
show that the bank was really insol-
vent at the time of its reorganization
about two ears before failure.
That the case will be warmly con-
tested has been expected and this is
further evidenced by the fact that
n number of attorneys In this part of
the state have been engaged. U. q.
Whitney, county attorney Of Woodbury..
has been employed to assist in the
prosecution. County Attorney Morton
will assist Mr.. Whitney. The defence
will be represented by j. NJ. Parsons,

COMBINE OF PHYSICIANS ENDS,
Dubuque County Physicians Fail to
Stick Together.

Dubuque, Feb. At has just come
to light here that prominent doctors
of Dubuque have for the past week
been trying to effect n combine for the
purpose of forcing up the bids for the
annual contract for furnishing medical
attendance and supplies to the poor or
DUBUQUE county. a large number OF
them agreed to make $4,000 the min
imum bid, but before their compact
was completed the entire project was
given publicity, and now DIR. Weiland,
acting for them. has proposed to the
board of supervisors to furnish medi-
cal attendance free and supplies at
cost.
An informal meeting Of the mem
bers of the medical profession was
held the other day in the office of a
prominent local physician when the
plan to effect the combine was formed.
A paper was drawn up to which fifteen
physicians present affixed their names.
A prominent physician, when inter-
viewed, admitted that he had signed
his name to the agreement and he ex-
pressed the belief that all the physi-
clans in the city would do likewise.
"1'he doctors feel that the work has
been done too cheaply and that 1t is
worth $1,000 a year to care for the
poor and sick and supply the necessary
medicines" he said.
Just what the supervisors will now
do is uncertain.

Special to Times Republican.
Iowa City, Feb 4--Proceedings have
finally been begun in the Iowa county
district court. looking to the dissolu-
ton of the Amana corporation that for
more than fifty years has been one or
the few successful communstic settle
,nents in the United States. During
that time the original settlers or the
colony have seen the value OF their
land increased an hundred fold and
the small capital of Il 100000 which
was originally invested become an
enormous fund. said to amount to
several millions of dollars. But 1t Is
alleged that the colony, which Is In
corporated under the Iowa law as Il
corporation mot for pecuniary profit.
is constantly violating the provisions
of its charter in that 1t Is engaging IN
manufacturing and trade and is annu-
ally making many thousands of dol
lars.
1t is alleged that the motive of the
suit. which will be prosecuted by the
unkonwn parties. is a desire on part
of members of the colony who have
become dissatisfied with their life In
the colony and desire division or
the property which is held In trust by
the directors of the corporation. Un-
der the provisions of the constitution
of the colony, any member upon with
