NO U. c. I. HOME
Project Of a Home for Travelling Mons
Widows Abandoned Because Funds
Arc Not Available.

Snccial to Times Republican.
Cedar Rapids, Sept. 1.-The Gazette
Of this city publishes a letter from
Chas. r. Olmstead, grand secretary of
ers. announcing that the Cedar Rap
Ids commercial club had been notified
OF the abandonment OF the project to
build In Cedar Rapids home for the
widows and orphans of deceased trav-
cling men. 1,he letter reads as fol-
lows:
THE secretary of our Father Houck
committee, Mr.. Weidel, is today send
Ing to the chairman Of the committee
cllnation Of the proposition made us on
the Sinclair property and in this con
nection there is ono thing | think
ought to be understood In Cedar
Rapids as matter OF justice to our
order
you will remember that the idea OF
for use upon the definite location of
the Home came as an absolute sur
prise to me after reached Cedar
Rapids, and as there never was any
such fund, 1t was much of surprise to
the rest Of the boys. When we found
how much interest had been taken In
the matter by your people and how
spleMlldly they had risen to what
seemed an opportunity to locate a
Home IN Cedar Rapids, we all felt that
in Justice to our local members and to
the people Of Cedar Rapids, we ought
TO make desperate effort to swing
the matter II 1t could possibly be done.
While there is probably very little
doubt ar to the possibility OF raising
the purchase price OF the property, we
would have nothing with which to
maintain home of any magnitude
even approaching this proposition,
even IL we had enough widows and or
phans to Justify US In, 80 doing. Az A
matter OF fact. there ore very few
widows and orphans Of deceased U. G.
rs who would avail themselves OF n
home of this character and when the
home is started, as It doubtless will be
in good time, 1t must be started along
lines that are reasonable and Within
our means.
II do not know who or what may be
responsible for the various stories I
heard when reached Cedar Rapids as
to the enormous amount of money that
they were ready to turn into the fund
as soon as the home was located. these
amounts ranging as high as 100000.
but the facts are that the fund had In
1t about twenty dollars when the
Grand Council convened at Cedar
Rapids and has at this time less than
a thousand dollars, and It's only def
mite source Of Increase ls the voluntary
contributions Of the various subordi-
nate councils Il has been definitely
dedicated to home along the lines in
dicated, but the presumption is that
this home will have its beginning In
something much less ambitious than
the Cedar Rapids proposition.
II ann very sorry, indeed, that this
wrong impression should have OBJ
tanned and voice the sentiment Of our
entire committee In this, but 1t would
certainly be the rankest kind Of fool
ishness for use to tackle anything Of
this kind at this time.
Every sincerely yours.

Grand Secretary"

across the tracks, not having seen the
train by which his wagon was struck.
The engine struck the horses In tho
side. and both animals were carried for
more than q block on the pilot and
both were instantly killed. The wagon
was swept on for q block and q half
and the harness was carried for several
blocks farther. The peculiar part Of
the accident was that when the train
struck :. the team. the tongue OF the
wagon was snapped off and hurled un-
der the wheels Of the flyer. Az the
coach on the steps OF which Mr.. Krusc
was standing swept by. the broken
tongue caught on the overhangtng steps
and these were torn from the car Mr..
Kruse had not an instant to catch
himself aud consequently was hurled
to the ground with terrible force. be-
ins rolled over and over IN the fall
from the swiftly moving train. Mr.

block or more In the wrecked rig.
The injured men were removed 10
the hotel and attended by the COM
panys physician. from Davenport. The

The Times suggested years ago
 that it would be cheaper in tho
 long run, and certainly much more
 pleasing to the eye and pride of every tax payers, If the county
 Judge could get his consent to
 build an iron fence around the new court house. But a wire fence
 was thought to be sufficient, tenn porarlly, and accordingly one was erected. The posts of this fence are now rotting, and the gate post at the front is now rotted off. Either tnIs fence has got to be re- paired at considerable expense or a new fence built There IS no economy in repairing that insight ly affair, and none in building any other kind of a cheap fence. The best is the cheapest always, and we believe Judge Folbre will stlll luther endear himself in the hearts of his constituents by building a handsome and substantial iron fence-one winch will be in keep ing with the beautiful building and the progressive spirit and rapid advancement of the city. It may seem extravagant at first, just as It did to build the court house, but when the fence Is built and paid for the tax payers will bless you, Judge, If you build a really first class fence, just as they bless Judge Cowan for giving them the court house. If Judge Cowan had never accomplished anything else during his whole administration, the building of that handsome court house will always cause him to be thought of kindly and en- thusiasticalIy. It will be the same with Judge Folbre, when we get the iron fence and the iron bridges under his Administration.

Gov. Jeff Davis has our profound gratitude for another good act. He sent message to the Legislature few days ago vetoing House Bill No. 3o0, which was measure 10 make counties liable "tor all the costs in all criminal examinations before magistrates, whether the de tendant was bound over or ever convicted or not" The Governor truly said 'sthis would be very bad law and subject to great abuse. Under il the ustices of the peace of the various cities of this state, if they were disposed to do so, could bankrupt thelr several counties with foolish felony investigations in which there would be no merit. The greatest reason now which stands as bar to these foolish prosecutions is that the county is not responsible for the costs. This system has been in vogue for years and has proven very satisfactory to the taXpay CTS.

Cheer upon cheer shook the walls, hats were waved, and prolonged applause greeted the ap pearance of that old war veteran and statesman who has served his state so we'll in state and national halls Tn past years. Never has a president been greeted with more display of loyalty by his people than was shown Senator Berry by the representative as he came slowly down the aisle, leaning on hls crutch. Again and again the cheers broke out, some one shout ing that recess be taken and it was fully three minutes before the hall became quiet enough for the visitor to respond to the cries of Speech, speech, which came from every side of the house. Pausing half way down the hall, the distin- guished statesman raised hls hand and with strong feelings of emotion showing upon his face, said:
 "Mr. Speaker and Gentlemen: No words of mine can express my great appreciation of this kind re- ception, but l feel that this is not the time or place for a speech. 1 am not here to instruct you. 1 have always felt it was my privilege to receive instruction from the legis- lature.
