Whereas his majesty. the king. has

accordance with Norway's constitution
and existing laws with those changes
which are necessitated by the fact that

King Oscar sent "a telegram to
Premier Nicholson as follows:
Have received the communication
of the council of state and record the

An address to the king was adopted

Illinois Central Experiencing Consid :
cradle Trouble at Webster City.
Special to Times RepuL lican. N
Webster City, May 16-The recent
rains have made the Illinois Central
in this city a great deal of trouble. The
high grade east of the bridge over the
Boone river has been the scene OF
many slides during the past few days
and no less than total of five hun
dred feet of track has been loosened.
A large force of section men are at
work repairing 1t and keeping watch
of the track over the grade.
All trains over the line have slow
orders and come over the track at a
creeping speed The grade east of the
bridge in places is as high as thirty
feet and for some distance east of the
bridge approach will average twenty
feet in height. The filling on this
grade is the dirt removed from the
deep cut west of the city by the Nc
Arthur gangs and is Of a sandy forna-
ton. The hard rains of the last few
days have caused large portions of the
grade to slide down the embankment
from under the tracks, leaving the line
in a dangerous condition. The con-
slant work of the section men, how
ever, has averted any accidents and
with slow running, traffic has thus far
been kept moving. A constant watch
over the line, however, has to be kept
to avoid an accident.

DROUGHT AT AckLEN,
Pump Tubing and Cylinder Fall te
Bottom Of 1000 Foot We'll. I

Snecial to imes-Republican.
Ackley, May 16.-The town of Ack-
lev is undergoing drought at the
present time. The pump tubing and
cylinder at the city pumping station
have fallen to the bottom of the we'll,
and the we'll being 1000 feet deep, "
cannot be pulled out without the
proper tools wherewith to do such
work The town was without water
all of last week and from the present
outlook it seems as tho the pump will
not be in running order before the
end of this week. Part of the repairs
have arrived, but the cylinder has not
been heard from. This is the third
time that the pump tubing has fallen
to the bottom of the we'll, but as the
well is so deep it does not impair the
flow of the water Ackley at one time
drilled for an artesian we'll and drilled
to the depth of 1000 feet but failed
to get flow.
The city is now using this deep well
from which to draw it's supply of
water.
The lot recently purchased by j. HI.
Scales, east Of his brick store building,
has been cleared. The old buildings
formerly situated on the lot have been
been moved to the west part of town.
Mr.. Scales is going to erect a one
story building on the lot, into which
he will move his printing office. The
building will be built of cement blocks.
A cement walk will also be placed in
front of the new building and in front
Of his brick building. This will greatly
improve the appearance of the north
side Of Main street.

Citizen OF Bayard Now Wants a
Minneapolis Firm Investi-
gated by Federal Court
w. H. eARNEs COMPLAINANT
Literature Sent Out by Edward A.
Vaughan in Hands Of Marshal With
View Of Considering An Indictment
For Fraudulent Use of the Mails
Iowa News.

| Des Moines, May 16.-United States
day morning received from W.. III
Garnes of Bayard, Iowa, circulars, let
tiers and communications from Edward
A. Vaughan, of Minneapolis, to present
to the federal grand jury in session
here with the purpose of considering
an indictment for fraudulent use OF
the mails. The last letter mailed by
Garnes to Vaughan to Minneapolis was
returned with the postmaster's stamp
upon it Fraudulent matter
Mr.. Garnes claims to have been VIC
timized to the extent of $3.50, which
amount he claims he sent to Vaughan
to be used in specializing on wheat
with the board of trade. He says the
claim was made to him that margins
ate up his money.
When Edward A. Vaughan started up
his alleged bucket shop scheme" in
Minneapolis, he sent out elaborate Cir
culars setting forth his personal stand
ing and his purposes to make several
millionaires during the next few yeas
of those who had few dollars to IN
vest. He called attention to the fact
that his father was formerly mayor OF
Council Bluffs and had fought in the
civil war. He claimed his forefathers
for over century had been very sue
cessful in making money, and that he
proposed to bring success to his pat
rons with great rapidly.
$n how a
standing of the wheat situation and
how to invest money on the board.
He agreed to take patrons money ana
invest it on wheat, retaining for hlm-
self on % per cent of the profits for
his commission. He had testimonials
from some who had received large
amounts. Recently some of the invest
ors were informed he had been al
fault in his judgment and the money
instead had been lost. Then COM
plants commenced to be made The
postmaster at Minneapolis received or
ders to refuse to deliver his mail and
letters sent Vaughan from Iowa have
come back marked fraud"
In his literature Edward A. Vaughan
printed testimonials as to his business
abilities, character and reputation by
such men as Congressman Walter l..
Smith, of Council Bluffs; ex-senator
William z. Mason, of Chicago, brother
to f. r. Mason, of this city: William
]. Bryan, often times democratic cam
didate for the presidency of the United
States, and other men of national
reputation. None of these testinon-
ials, however, referred to the business
in which Vaughan has been engaged
and possibly were secured before he
launched forth in the illegal "get-rich-
quick, scheme.
The federal grand jury here reas-
sembled this afternoon and then the
matter was laid before them.
