Special to Times Republican.
Belle Plaine has just won al, important
victory in the supreme court of Iowa,
the decision of Judge Burnham Of the
district court being sustained in the
water-works bond case. The decision
means much to the city. as 1t will en-
able the city to construct water works
system and sewers. In June 1904 the
city had a special election at which
the proposition to bond the town for
-the> purpose of building a water works
and sewer system was Carried The
purchasers of the bond, however, rails
ed the question of the limit OF indebtv.
edness under the new law and ques-
toned the validity of the act passed
by the assembly.
The decision affects some twenty
five or. thirty cities in Iowa, as the new
law for school buildings is the same as
the water works and sewers law. In
several places bonds for water works
and school houses have already been
sold under this law. But in the case OF
Belle Plaine the amount of bonds IS
larger, so Halsey & Co., the purchasers
of the bonds, wished decision on the
constitutionally of the new law.
The constitution of the state of Iowa
fixes the limit of Indebtedness of cities
at five per cent of the value OF taxable
property, and the legislature reduced
that to one and one-quarter of the
value of taxable property, directing the
manner of determining the value. Ihen
there was change in the basis OF
taxation, in that taxes had been as
sessed upon the full cash value Of the
property. which was altered to one
fourth of the value of the property. tho
present system. AS many cities III
the state were unable to incur the M
debtedness for necessary improvements
such as school buildings, water works,
and sewers, the last legislature In.
creased the limit of Indebtedness for
cities of this class, from one and one
quarter per cent, to two and one-haf-
per cent. The bond company contend
ed that the basis of Indebtedness
should be based upon the one-fourtn
of the value of the property while the
new law provided that the basis
should be- upon the full value of the
property. The supreme court has de-
cided that the new law is constitution
al.
1t is expected that about $4,000 will
be spent for the water works, CT
which about forty per cent or $4,000
will.be paid for labor. The remaining
$1,000 will be spent fora sewer outlet,
and8there will be assessment sewers In
addition, making the entire sum spent
for sewers possibly $4,000, of which

FOB MooDYs STRANGE CASE
Wealthy But Somewhat Eccentric
Character of Benton County E's-
came Violently Insane and Reason
Returns After ParaIytic Stroke -
Was Well Known in Benton County.

Special TO Times Republican.
Waterloo, July 15.-Bob Moody, a
wealthy, but somewhat eccentric
character, who recently become vio-
lantly insane, has had his reason res
tored by stroke of paralysis. Unfor-
tunately, however, the paralysis Is
likely to prove fatal. Moody lived not
far from vlnton, and was worth close
to 100000.
When the sheriff brought Moody
here while on the way to the hospital,
the patient became violent while con-
fined in a cell in the city Jail. He is
a powerful man, weighing 200 pounds,
ture of health. He tore his garments
and tugged at the walls OF the Jail un-
til the cage ratified as In the grasp OF
ten men. Moody, few days ago.
while at the Independence hospital,
suffered a stroke of paralysis. Strange
ly enough when Mr.. Moody was seized
with the paralytic stroke his reason
was restored and he has been sane e'Ir
since. His vocal cords are paralyzed
and he is unable to converse.
Mr.. Moody is a unique character. He
is about so years of age and Is worth
in the neighborhood of 100000. He
began life without penny. starting as
a newsboy on a train. He early de-
veloped remarkable business talent
and 1t was not long until he began to
amass considerable property. He has
made two fortunes. but the first, which
was gotten in California, was lost.
The second was made in Canada lands,
Mr. Moody was twice married. His
second wife is living, but he has no
children. He has wide acquaintance
throughout Benton county and has
many friends because of his generosity
and genial good nature. This is said
to be the second attack Of insanity
which Mr.. Moody has suffered, the
first one having been caused by relig-
ious excitement.
