Buffalo and Panther in Iowa.

Goodeu, May 11.-Editor Times-Re-
publican: Seeing the articles In your
paper from different parties doubling
the existence of buffalo and panthers
in their wild state in Iowa, will say,
that in a number of conversations
with Arson Avery (the Oldest settler
of Hancock county,, he told me that
at different times he came down early
in the morning from his dwelling to
the hill where the Amsterdam school
house now stands and saw quite a
drove Of buffalo lying down In the
river bottom below the hill where the
village Of Amsterdam now stands. AZ
ter viewing them while they would get
up. stretch themselves, cross the Iowa
river and go west on the prairie to
feed during the day, then come back
in the evening to the river bottom.
This was in the years Of 1854 and
1855. He also told he that he saw
large bands of elk here. Mr.. Avery's
widow. who is now living in Goodell.
Iowa. told me today that she saw lots
of buffalo and elk here and ate buff
falo steak.
w. o. Butterfield, an old resident of
Hancock county. Iowa, living at Good
ELL Iowa, has IN his possession Dull
falo skull that he picked up on the
Iowa river. 1t Is good specimen.
AS for panther, I will say that had
very narrow escape myself from
one when boy, in the year 1867, in
Clayton county, Iowa.
And one that has ever heard the cry
of a panther will hardly ever forget
it, as it is very loud and piercing. I
have heard one twice in my life and
in Iowa.
Yours truly,
e. j. BAUMAN.

Mystic Milling Company, Of
Sioux City, Brings Up I'm
portant Case In Court
ROADS ARE REFUSED SERVICE
Question of Whether Railroads May
Be Compelled to Switch Cars On
Private Tracks to Be Decided by
the Courts of Iowa-News of the
State
Special to Times Republican


Sioux City, May II. = Whether or
not railroads have the right to refuse
to put cars on private tracks is the
important question to be disposed OF
in the case of the Mystic Milling Com
pany VS.. the Milwaukee & st. Paul
railroad and the Western Car Service
Association, called in district court
yesterday morning. The milling COM
pany sued the car association and four
Sioux City railroads for total OF
s150,O0O damages because the rail-
roads, on request of the car associa-
ton, declined to switch cars on the
milling company's private tracks until
a bill for demurrage had been paid.
This suit originated over bill for
$25 which the car association claims
the milling company owes 1t. Starting
with this small sum the case gradu-
ally developed until this large sum Is
involved.
The Western Car Association, which
Is an association formed by railroads
to handle demurrage charges, has q
rule which makes it necessary for It's
cars not to be kept on private tracks
longer than twenty-four hours. Ii cars
are kept longer than this time, 1t
charges 81 a car for every twenty-four
hours. The association claims the
Mystic Milling Company kept twenty
five cars on it's private tracks longer
than the time limit, and a bill for S25
was sent in.
The milling company refused to pay
the bill, disputing it's accuracy, and
the car association in turn refused to
allow cars to be placed on the private
tracks OF the company.
This, the milling company claims.
interfered with it's business. and claims
it had been damaged to the extent OF
$50, 900 and brought suit in the dis
trict court to recover this amount.
Suits were brought against the sep
arate railroads, Jointly with the assoc
citation and the one which came up
today is against the Milwaukee and
st. Paul.
Attorney Farnsworth defended the
railroad company, while the Mystic
Milling Company was represented by
w E. Can't. The greater part of the
morning was spent In preliminary
sparring and it was some time before
the taking of evidence began.
H. j. Hutton, manager of the milling
company, was put on the stand by the
plaintiffs, and testified as to the facts
as stated, and the manner in which
the company had been injured finan-
cially.
1t is expected that the case will
hinge on a point Of law as to whether
or not the railroads. being common
carriers, have the right to refuse to al
low it's cars to be run on tracks. The
Mystic Milling Company claims that
the bill was questioned, and that the
railroads had no legal right to refuse
to run the cars on the private tracks
while the question was pending. The
railroads take the position that they
cannot be compelled to serve private
tracks. The cases are important be-
cause they will test the right of the
railroads to enforce payment Of de-
murrage charges by withdrawing SER
vice.

$4,000 in Form Of Loan for Com
pietion Of Fine Hospital at coun-
ell Bluffs,

Council Bluffs, May Ill. D. Ed
mundson of Des Moines, formerly a
resident Of Council Bluffs, has made
it possible for the Women's Christian
Association of this city to build a $780,
600 hospital and work will be COM
menced as soon as site can be Sc
cured and the plans drawn.
Mr.. Edmundson's assistance comes
in the form of $4,000 loan to the
association, with interest at 5 per cent,
but at his death the debt will be can
celled and the property will pass free
of encumbrance, into the hands OF the
hospital organization.
1t has been agreed that the new In
stitution will be known as Council
Bluffs Memorial hospital, and also that
Mr.. Edmundson's lot in Walnut Hill
cemetery will be cared for by the Wo-
mems Christian Association.
This generosity on the part of Mr..
Edmundson enables the association to
carry out a long cherished plan. 9th
err funds will be added to the $4,000
provided by him and building to cost
at least $4,000 will be erected. There
is now $4,000 on hand in the treas

been arranged and will be played be-
tween the Fort Dodge league team
or either Waterloo or Marshalltown.
This game will be played after the
dedication exercises which are to be
held at 100 O'clock in the afternoon.
Also there will be refreshments served
on the school grounds or in the build
ing.
These additional events are for the
purpose of raising more funds for the
school, as new seats and furnishings
must be bought and the school fund is
running short.
The date on which these events are
to take place will be announced later,
as it is not yet sufficiently advanced
to permit the making of any definite
time.

great women's convention to attract
those outside of it's ranks. The stage
presented an even more beautiful ap-
pearance than during the day, the
lights showing off to advantage the
background of scenery. and other fur
nishings. Three very delightful nu-
steal numbers were enjoyed as the OPP
ening numbers. These were given by
the Womens Choral Club, composed of
twenty seven ladies', besides the leader
and accompanist. The selections were
(a) "Water-lily" (abt), (b) Charity"
(HowelD. Miss Coreyell and Mrs.
Bateman, featured as soloists. This
musical organization is one of much
merit, and after the days events, in
teresting but necessarily tiresome
their appearance was greeted with
great delight.
The first address Of the evening was
made by Mrs. Sarah Platt Decker
Denver, Col, president of the General
Federation Of Women's Clubs. It was
one looked forward to by the biennial
, and did not fail to charm with Its
sparkling wit and clear, ,forcible man
ner of presentation. Mrs. Decker came
to Iowa in response to urgent solicita-
ton, by Mrs. Fletcher In behalf Of the
Iowa federation. Feels it is much
more important, however, for her to
see the federation than for it to seq
her. which she illustrated by clever
story Mrs. Decker confined her re-
marks principally to answering the
question: rs Federation Worth
While?" showing conclusively, by
various arguments, that it is. She
said federation means fealty. friend.
ship, and faith, principle, progress and
patriotism. That federation does not
mean simply belonging to an organi-
cation, but loving it, believing in it,
and giving ones best to 1t without hope
Of glory or reward. Mrs. Decker gave
three reasons why women are slower
than men in coming to the true idea
Of federation, which are, first, intoler-
ance; second, because we are afraid
of publicity (the day for worrying
about publicity is past. Besides, pub
licity in federation work is glorious),
and third, have not realized fully the
obligation of federation. Mrs. Decker
address was replete with bright, illus
trative stories, and she closed with all
enumeration of the development of the
women's faculties and the work she Is
taking up. If $4,000 noble men could
stand shoulder to shoulder with the
5000 club women Of Iowa. we should
have just what we want, in expressing
her wish that the men might come and
work with the women. She told Of

Further Researches to be Made in the

Mounds at Okoboji.
Special to Times Republican.
Cedar Rapids. May 11.-Discoveries
that have swept away traditions Of
early Iowa and prefaced ancient his
tory Of the state with an epoch lost
in mystery until the explorers spade
uncovered relics of an unknown race
In mound at Okoboji, are to be sup
plemented with systematic ethnologi-
cal research. Fred and Allen Pearson
of Cedar Rapids will this summer pur-
sue further the exploration they be-
gan last September. Eminent ethno-
logi>ts declare that the ancient history
of Iowa is. to be rewritten, as relics
taken from the mounds give evidence
of a race unknown to tradition or lore
Of the state. New light will be thrown
on the mystery of the early ages of
Iowa by the Investigations now at
hand.
Ancient Algonquins.
That northern Iowa was inhabited
by the Algonquins centuries ago is the
conclusion formed by ethnologists in
light OF recent discoveries. History
has 1t that this race had never touched
the shores of Spirit Lake and Okoboji,
and attributed the presence of the
mounds to other tribes who had erect
ed them for lookouts. But it has re-
manned for the explorer to overthrow
legends and tradition and resurrect
relics of an epoch hitherto unknown to
writer's of ancient Iowa history.

agricultural state Miss Adams said
that insofar as Iowa is a manufacture

ture We need to find out what the
condition of children is in the various
states and then see what the clubs can

impression, upon child labor legisla-

removed from the shoulders OF the
parent to the child. She said she rec

that the women will heroically CRAP

children.
Child Labor Report.
Mrs. Baily, chairman of the commits
tee, gave her report as such, which
was very important as showing the
results of efforts to obtain legislation
and educate the people to struggle for
the same. Mrs. Baily also included
In her report her knowledge OF what

Household Economics.

Household Economics.
The first part of the afternoon ses-
sion wednesday. was in charge of the
household economics committee whose
chairman, Mrs Matt Parrot, OF Wat
erloo opened the program with her
report, prepared in conjunction with
Mrs, C. q. walner, Of Atlantic, and
Mrs. Cora E. Chambers Of Massena
In this report the federation was con-
graduated upon the growing success
in this branch. Following this, Mrs.
Parrot, who presided over this part Of
the meeting, introduced to the b1en-
NAL. Mrs. Evelyn Foote, Of Des Moines,
who gave a most helpful talk on
..Dressmaking in Education" The
speaker, a woman Skilled IN tne oress-
making art, advocated placing upon
higher basis, the art OF constructing
dresses and many things Of feminine
wear. Her theme is largely a new one
and after showing what handicap is
the lack Of practical knowledge, she
pointed out how dressmaking can be
nut on q practical, economical basis.
Mrs Foote, with many others, believes
the day is not far distant when the
educational system will see the ne
cessity Of placing household science
in the school curriculum. Mrs. Foote

ating the cost and construction of the
