TO the facts set forth by him. There
are many important measures which

LETTERS FROM
THE PEOPLE
VALUABLE TIME LOST.

GulNol " lue evening journal
Sir:--I have recently spent a day and
night in Dover and from my observa-
tion Of the working time of the Legis-
lature there will be much important
legislation fail simply from want Of
ime in which to consider and read
the bills
The members OF the Legislature are
losing valuable time each day in hold
i;g committee meetings during TIM
hours OF the session.
You see members called out of one
body or the other to attend a committee
meeting just when some important
measure is up for discussion. Having
been through the mill myself, not many
years ago. I know just what II means
IL the members do not stay at Dover
and hold committee meetings in the
evening.
They will not be able to finish the
work Of the session with satisfaction
TO themselves or to their constituents
Take my advice, gentlemen, and give
your evenings to the work, at least un-
III you get caught up You will never
regret having down so and your con-
stituents will feel that you are working
for the best interests OF the state.
Yours truly. AN EXMEMBER.

build the Iowa Central railway from
oskaloosa to Dcs Molnos was ofered
as an inducement TO tho city to relln.
quish It's rights in Market square To-
the Minneapolis & st. Louis Railway
In tho council meeting this morning.
The offer was mads by A. II. Clark, OF
Minneapolis, attorney for tho compa.
ny. A committee OF the Commercial
club was present and asked the coun-
ell to grant the request OF the NJ. &
st. L.
Clark made a long argument to the
council setting forth that the compa.
ny has a title and the city has none.
He asked merely for permission to-
erect the depot on Market square.
City Solicitor Bremner made an an
swer to his argument giving the opin-
ion that the city has a title If 1t wishes
to maintain 1t. John MacVicar re-
fused to speak for the Civic league
but as a private citizen denounced the
movement to donate the lands to the
railway company unless a specific
guarantee be made that the Iowa. Cen
trail will be built here.
Extension Authorized.
Continuing, Mr.Clark said: I'VE are
not asking something for nothing.
We are only asking for our rights.
The city has no title to Market place
and never has held any such title.
The only title TO the place is N held
by the Des Moines & Fort Dodge rail
way. II Is based on ordinances which
convey all rights the city Of Des
Molnes ever had. The county Of Polk
Is the only other claimant who has
any rights or claims. The county's
title Is forfeited by an abandonment
| Of the property for SO years. The
railway has a title because OF a pos.
session for thirty years, because OF
the statute Of limitations and by rea-
son OF the color OF title granted by the
| ordinances previous to and In 1880.
| Even IL the railroad had no title IL
would be public policy for the city OK
Des Moines to give this land TO an
enterprise that would mean the termi-
nails OF two railways. Az the last
meeting OF the board Ng directors g
the Iowa Central raiiwfy yspacn y
practically identical with .. s. Mime
apolis & st. Louis railway, q PROPOSE
tion was made to build into Dcs
Moines from oskaioosa. The decision
was postponed because It was not
known that proper terminal facilities
could be obtained here. Already a
freight agreement is made with the
| C.,iB. &c O., by which the Iowa Central
freight cars may come from oskaloosa
to Des Moines. II this terminal is as.
sured the road will be built without
delay"

Eddyyille, May 2.-The workmen
who have been at work tearing down
the old hotel building known as the

Of old papers in the walls OF the build.
ing that are OF considerable interest.
The papers consisted of two copies OF

he will not build a new hotel on the
site OF the old one, but will leave the
