Young Pastor Contemplating Making
Change in Observation-Disclosures
That Field in Friends Church Here
is Limited, and That There Are
Broader Opportunities Open to Him.

Rev. II. William Pilot, for the past
eighteen months pastor of the Friends
church of this city, has resigned his
pastorate, to become effective on May
90 Action on the. resignation will not
be formally taken until the next regu-
lar monthly meeting. Rev. Mr.. Pilot has
decided on the change because he feels
that his work in the Friends church
here is limited. He is a young man
and while in the strength and vigor of
his young manhood, is anxious to
forge ahead. He thinks that there are
broader opportunities open to him
elsewhere, and has in serious con-
temptation a change in denomination,
and an entrance into the Baptist
church.
Rev Pilot is a self-made young man,
and has risen to his position in the
ministry by his own efforts. He has
known poverty, what it meant to be
hungry and without friends or home.

Mioht Have. Boon Bad Fire.

What, with the wind blowing from
the north, might have proved dis
astrous blaze, was prevented Thurs
day night by the prompt work Of the
fire department, which responded
shortly before IL o'clock to box
alarm from 1872. 3. E. Downing's barn,
located on the alley between First and
Second avenues, had caught fire in the
hay loft, and was ablaze before dis
covered. Mr.. Downing and family had
just returned from the theater, and
with others in the neighborhood
smelled the smoke. No blaze could
then be seen, but It was only mo-
ment before the flames shot upward
thru the roof, and were famed into
terrific heat by the wind. The crews
from both central station and No. 2
soon had streams playing on the
building, but it was the work Of two
hours before all of the fire in the
burning hay was extinguished. Only
the upper part Of the barn was dam
aged, and Mr. Downing says his loss
will not be severe, not exceeding a few
hundred dollars, and fully covered by
insurance. Three horses and a COW,
which were In the barn, were removed
by Mr.. Downing as soon as the fire
was discovered. The origin Of the fire
is not known.

A LINE ON THE PLAYERS.
Something of the Character of This
Years GraYs.


AS the time draws nearer for the
team to report in this city, more def
mite information regarding the play
ers is obtainable 1t is now certain
ty that Wilson, Hurst and Corkhill
will not report. Wilson will stay IN
Des Moines, and Hurst has gone to
Davenport. Corkhill. a Clinton out
fielder, will play with that city's in
dependent club
OF the catchers Blanford, the Sioux
Falls man, is probably the best of the
bunch, but it is more than likely War
ner will not be able to hold him thru
out the season, as he has business con-
nections in Sioux Falls which may
make it impossible. He, with Brugge-
man, are the most likely candidates.
With link, Warner, Middleton and
Williams, the infield is complete, as 1T
now stands, and will compare with any
other team of the league. In some
ways link is better than Metcalf, and
in others not SO good. link is the
heavier man, and not SC active, but he
is q good fielder, and if he hits up to
his usual form, will surpass Metcalf
with the stick. Two years ago link
was wanted by Philadelphia, of the
National League The deal fell thru
owing to a squabble over terms.
In the outfield two of the positions
left and center will undoubtedly go
to Will Disch and Hoy. There will
be scramble for the third place, with
Bennett, from the defunct Northern
League, and little man named Gale,
from Warner, ILL.,, after it. Both are
good, but more is known OF Bennett
who made reputation both for field
ing and hitting while with the Super
Tor team. Those who have seen Gale
work, say he is very good. Disch and
his brother George, the latter Of the
pitching staff, will not report until
early in May, and until then Bennett,
Gale and Hoy will probably be in the
field.
In the pitching department the work
of selection becomes more Of puzzle.
Disch, johnson and Greene will probab-
" all stick, with Pomeroy, Spoerl and
Petty as the three other most likely
candidates. Pomeroy, early last year.
signed with Des Moines, and began to
work out, but cold weather and inju-
dicious use of his arm caused it to go
lame, and spoiled his chances. Spoerl
is Sioux Falls boy with base ball
future in case he continues to develop
as he has in the past two years. while
playing amateur ball. Petty comes
from the west and not so much is
known of him, altho he is said to be
likely material.

FARMERS FILE CLAIM.
Homestead Claim in the County Con-
tested by Hauser and Fiscus.

Homestead Claim in the County Con-
tested by Hauser and Fiscus.
Matthias Hauser and Lem" Fiscus,
two we'll known farmers liv-
ing in the neighborhood of
Liscomb, and Albion, have filed at
Des Moines petition in which they
claim prior right to homestead land
in >the northern part of the county,
which was entered in 1892 by Miss
Florence E. Anderson, of Des Moines.
The Des Moines News, announcing the
filing of the petition, says in it's issue
of Thursday evening:
1.-TWO Marshall county farmers, M. A.
Hauser and L. w. Fiscus, have filed
with Land Registrar Howard a petition
in which they assert that by prior
right, they should have the land upor
which Florence E4 Anderson Of this
city filed homestead entry in Novem-
ber,, 1892.
"From the fact that Miss Anderson
who is the daughter of former Land
Registrar Kuntz, and now Is employed
at the state house, was resisted with
shotguns when she went onto the land
to stake out her claim, the case will
doubtless attract much attention. Miss
Anderson has many friends in Des
Moines.
upon whether the land was swampy
in 1850, the decision of Registrar How
ard largely depends, and he has or
dered a hearing to determine the ques-
ton. Miss Anderson has been notified
to attend, as have both Hauser and
Fiscus.
"The land is eighty acres in north
Marshall county. The old Cedar Rap
ids & Missouri River Railroad Com
pany claimed the land by grant. Haul
err and Fiscus claim that by convey
ances they have titles to the tract thru
means of a swamp claim. Moreover
they assert that they have quit claim
deeds from the railroad company, but
as they can claim only one cause, they
will try to prove up the swamp allega"
lions.
"The records in the laid registrars
office were vacant and it was this fact
that prompted Miss Anderson to make
homestead entry Her attempts to
erect small shanty on the ground
were resisted by armed force and at
the time the case created much atten-
ton. If the swamp claim is made
good, it will take precedence over her
entry and she will be forced to give up
the title"

MIL DAN CASE
UP ON A MOTION
Judge Burnham Hears Argu-
ments on Motion In City's
Injunction Case
COURT ADJouRNs TOMORROW
JUDGE casweII Will Finish Up Work
and Adjourn Until Some Time in
May-Decrees in the Hoekersmith,
Hanes and Inman Cases for Divorce
Are Rendered.

In the district court late Thursday
afternoon Judge Burnham heard argu-
ments on a motion of the defendant
in the city's injunction case against
G. w. LaPlant, in which the city seeks
to restrain Mr.. LaPlant from remov-
ing the Iowa river dam at Center
street. AS is well known, the city's
object in restraining the removal, Is
to prevent any damage to the water
supply, the stage of which, the city
maintains, would be seriously affected
if the dam is taken away.
The counsel for the defendant hled
a motion for more specific statement,
ana to strike certain portions of the
plaintiffs petition which the defendant
claims irrelevant and redundant. The
ar uments were not completed until
this morning, and Judge Burnham took
the papers in the case with him to
Vanton. While the court did not give
any decision he intimated that so far
he was unable to see just what the
defendants counsel was objecting to.
Judge Burnham left this afternoon
for Vinton, and Judge Caswell will be
OH the bench tomorrow, for the pur-
pose of making a few orders in pro-
bate cases, and looking after any mat
tiers of business that may come up.
Judge Caswell will adjourn the March
term tomorrow until some time in May,
probably the 22d.
DEGREES in Divorce Cases.
DEGREES in three divorce cases were
entered by Judge Burnham late
Thursday afternoon In the Hooker
smith cases, which were merged, Mr..
F[ockersmith, defendant in one, and
plaintiff in the other, was granted a
divorce from Mrs. Demaries Hooker
smith on the ground of cruel and in
human treatment. The separate main
tenance relief Of Mrs. Hockersmith
was denied, but in the decree Of d.
vorce she was granted alimony con-
sisting of an equity in a house and
lot, and other considerations. Mrs.
Hockersmith was given custody of a
minor child, but the father is to be
allowed to visit the child. The costs
of both actions were taxed to Mrs.
Hockersmith.
A decree in the case of Mrs. Melva
Ida Inman VS.. j. L. Inman was also
entered. At a previous term of court,
Mrs. Inman was granted divorce
and given $500 alimony. Mr.. Inman,
it appears, gave his note for the
amount, but later transferred his
property to his present wife, Mary O..
Inman. The action before the court at
this term was to make the note a lien
upon the property of j. L. Inman and
Mary o. Inman, and this was done.
In the case of Lottie Hanes VS..
James N. Haines, the plaintiff, was
granted deere Of divorce, given the
custody of her minor daughters, Eva
May and Mildred Ann and $50 per year
alimony.

ATTORNEYS MUCH INTERESTED.
Des ,Moines Lawyers Watching DeveI-
opments in Local Paving Gases.

Des Moines Lawyers Watching Oevel-
opments in Local Paving Cases.
Des Moines attorneys, especially
those who study municipal law, are
watching with interest the paving
cases in this city, in view of the re-
cent decision of Judges Caswell and
Burnham. The Des Moines Capital,
in speaking of the decisions and the
interest created in Des Moines, says:
Local attorneys, who make spec
ial study of municipal law are greatly
interested in two opinions that have
been handed down at Marshalltown, In
which the Barber Asphalt Paving
Company was defeated Judge Burn
ham and Caswell heard separate cases
which were brought to resist payment
of assessments. Each decided that the
assessment was illegal. They reach
the same conclusion thru different
channels holding that the paving is
not up to the specifications and also
that the assessment itself was irregu-
lar If the paving is not according to
specifications, the asphalt company
must make it so or suffer the conse-
quences, but if the assessment is reg
ular the defect can be remedied by re-
assessing the cost in legal manner.
Judge Caswell held, In this connection,
that it was erroneous to estimate the
benefits accruing to the side Of a cor
ner lot as high as the benefits to the
front of the lot. The front foot rule
Of assessment has long ago been rem
dered illegal and all assessments must
be proportional according to the bene-
fits accruing to the property which is
improved. Neither may any assess
ment equal more than one-fourth the
actual value of the property. The city
as whole must bear any expense
above this amount. But great latitude
is allowed as to the manner of deter
mining the benefits to any lot, and. as
general rule, the front foot rule
is practically safe. The effect of the
decision of Judge Caswell is to render
it necessary to reassess the property
in dispute so far as the benefits are
concerned, but it does not have any
general bearing on any other property
in that or any other towns.
Judge Burnhams opinion also at.
firms the we'll established principle
that special assessments, such as sew
er and paving assessments, cannot be
construed as city indebtedness in the
sense that would include it in an es-
innate to determine if the city exceeded
the constitutional limit of indebted
ness"

sourHERNER's GOOD FORTUNE.
Sam Hoover Finds Something Better
Than Gold Mines.

Than Gold Mines.
There is no happier man in this
whole wide world today than Sam
A. Hoover, of Greensboro, N. c., who
is receiving the congratulations OF
his friends upon his fortunate find OF
something better than gold mines or
oil wells Mr.. Hoover, in letter to
a friend in Marshalltown, writes: /,
"Three months ago I was greatly
distressed by nasal catarrh, and en-
tire deafness in the right ear. The
labor of hawking and scraping to get
my throat and nasal passages free
from foul secretions deposited
there, mi ght be about equal to that
of six-raule team with a road scrap
err to get the earth from the roadside
to the center.
I purchased an outfit of Hyomei
and Hyomei balm and as a result of
its use my head, throat and nasal
passages are all free from secretions
of any sort, only as nature designed,
and my hearing in both ears is near
" as acute as it ever was"
There is no disagreeable stomach
dosing in using Hyomei; just breathe
It and it's pure fragrance will kill the
catarrhal germs in the head, throat
and lungs. Hyomei balm, used in con-
nection with Hyomei will cure the
worst case of catarrhal deafness.
The complete outfit costs but 81,
and extra bottles are only SO cents.
Ask Mcbride & Will to show you the
strong guarantee under which they sell
Hyomei. 1t costs nothing unless it
cures.
