iowa GIRLS DROWN IN
SPITE OF RESCUER

Humboldt. Aug 25.-Struggling in
the roaring waters with two victims
of an overturned boat, Pauline and
Ida Metzner, graphing with death
just beyond his reach, Charles Mel
son was forced to witness the sicken-
ing tragedy. but powerless to render
aid. The two girls sank before his
very eyes.
Death and the elements combined
against the little boat load of prec
ious human freight and won the
weak, defenseless fight made for life.
Nelson and the two girls went for
a row upon the river While some
distance from shore the storm came
up, overturning the craft and throw
ing its occupants into the water. The
binding rain which followed, together
with the inky darkness that settled
down upon the Inflated crew, rem
dered Nelson powerless to save the
girls who. unable to swim, were easy
victims of the waves.
The girls, sisters, were 25 and 80
years of age.

A GOOD FELLOW;
NOW D|SGRACEO
David 7. Stubs Of Council
Bluffs is Now
in Jail.
is ARRESTED FOR SHORTAGE
Was Cashier OF Citizens Gas Co. Of
Council Bluffs - Overgreat Gener.
osity to Family and Friends Has
Brought Him to Present Position

Council Bluffs, Aug. 25.--David T..
Stubs. once popular and admired,
once trusted by everyone and with
the brightest of prospects in life, now
penniless and in miserable cell at
| the Pottawattamie county jail, owes
his downfall to the fact that he was
too generous with his family and
friends and too needless Of his own
welfare. He never gambled, never
specialized and seldom drank, yet he
has been found short nearly $4,000
in his accounts as cashier of the Citi-
zens' Gas company. Stubs was
prince of good fellows, and being
good fellow ruined him, 1t plunged
him in debt and led him to take mon
ey which was not his own to main
tain himself socially and keep his
family in the style which he thought
was their due.
Up to last Tuesday. everyone who
knew Dave" Stubs would have de-
Tended any attack upon him as a
man who was never otherwise than
square" simultaneously with the
shortage becoming known, it has been
learned that he is deeply in debt for
household expenses. 1t is the old
story of man who has lived beyond
his means, and so complete is the re-
versal of popular sentiment that
Wednesday night, when Stubbs' own
son went among those who have
been his friends, not one could be
found who sign his name to bond.
The cashier found how cruel the world
can be when it turns upon man.
1t was by the most simple method
that Stubs was able to carry on
system of making the gas company's
accounts balance while he was appro-
priating the money for his own use.
He made reports daily to his super
iors showing cash collected and de-
posted. A great deal of the money
which he reported to have been
placed in banks was not in fact put
there When comparison was made
between the company's books and the
bank records, the discrepancy was at
once revealed.

TO BUILD NEW ROAD.
Official Of Mordaunt Road Says Bonds
Have Been Placed.

Des Moines, Aug. 24.-European
capitalists are coming to Des Moines
to construct the recently planned st.
Joseph, Albany & Des Moines rail
road.
One of the Des Moines officials in
the proposed railroad company stated
yesterday that the $5,500,000 bond is
sued for the construction of the new
railroad has been floated in Europe.
There they found ready market.
AS soon as the details Of the issu-
ance and sale Of these bonds can be
perfected, the work of building the
system will be commenced That it
will be started within the next few
months is confidently predicted.
The road is bonded for 100000 per
mile The proposed track is in the
region of 1875 miles in length. The
bonds therefore aggregate $5,50000O.
THE surveys have been completed
showing that the project is perfectly
feasible said the official The in
vestigation shows that the building Of
the road in the southern section of the
state. Ringgold county for instance,
will be fraught with much labor and
expense. The grades are steep there
and the construction will entail a
| large expenditure" ...
! The field that it taps is rich and
wealthy. Its promoters are confident
| in its ultimate success and the secur-
| ing of the European capital assures
| rapid progress from this time forward.

Latham. confession of the murder of
Fritz Westbrook has been made by
Albert Latham and Wllnam Den Bur
ger, two men now under arrest at the
city Jail, charged with the crime
which resulted in Westbrook's death.
My God, we've done something
awful We had to kill man tonight"
was the statement made by Trump
Latham to his wife, Rose Latham, at
l o'clock in the morning of July &,
within few hours after Fritz West
brook was fatally shot at Twelfth and
University avenue.
Statements as discriminating were
later made to the two men who Will
also be witnesses against the two Sus-
poets when they appear for trial.
The two men were arrested at an ear
" hour Saturday morning, as the re-
suit Of the investigation which has

THE ASSEMBLY
IS GRANTED
Car Of Russia Issues the
Long Awaited
Manifesto.
DOCUMENT IS NOW ISSUED
Will Be Read In All the Churches Of
the Empire-Hopes to Co. Ordinate
Elective Public Institutions With
Machinery Of the Autocracy.

st. Petersburg, Aug. 19.-Russla's
rational representative assembly, the
fruit of decades of stress and striv-
ing for reform, which endows the Rus
sian people with the right of being
consulted through their chosen repre-
sentatives in the suggestion, prepar-
alton and repeal or legislation, today
takes it's place among the fundamen-
tai institutions of the empire.
In solemn manifesto Emperor
Nicholas announces to his subjects
the fruition of his plans summoning
the representatives of the people, as
outlined by him in a rescript issued
on March last. and fixes the date
for the first cOnvocation as mld-Jah'
uary. and in a ukase addressed to the
senate formally orders that body to
register, as the imperial will, law
project formulating the nature, pow
efs and procedure OF the new gov
ornamental organization. e.,
The manifesto, ukase and project
are published this morning in spec
ial editions of the Official Messenger
III o. ISlCl SbulS anu AhoSSoN' nv
will be given out for publication at
noon to all the newspapers through
out the empire, many OF which are
preparing to issue extra editions, to
signaliZe momentouS historical
event, overshadowing in importance
the liberation of the serfs in 1861.
The date Of the occasion has been
happily chosen with due regard to
the symbolism so dear to the Rus
sian heart, for on this day is cele-
brated the great religious feast of
the TRANSPORTATION of Christ, with
the bringing to the church OF the first
fruits of the new harvest.
The national assembly will be a
consultative organization in connec-
ton with the council of the empire
and not legislative body. The pow
ers of the emperor remain theOretic-
ally absolute. AS the emperor is the
supreme law giver and autocrat, the
decisions of the douma have only a
recommendatory and not binding
force, though the rejection of any leg
islative measures by two-thirds
majority of both houses is sufficient
to prevent that measure from becom-
ing a law.
The representatives of the people
will have not only the right to be
hard on any legislation proposed by
the government, but also can voice
their desires on new laws and will
have the right to exert a certain sup
ervision over budgetary expenditures.
The suffrage, though wide, is not
universal. 1t is based on property
qualification, the peasantry having a
vote through membership in com
munal organizations.
A considerable portion of the resi-
dents Of the cities possessing no
lands, together with women, soldiers,
civil functionaries, ETC., are without
suffrage.

It is said the Turks were the first

A rubber paint has been devised for
the use of surgeons, instead of rubber
gloves. The paint seals the surface

measure for surgeons is said to be
preferable to working with rubber

MAJOR CONCER TENDERS
f.. HIS RESIGNATION

Oyster Bay, Aug. 23.-Edwin H.
Conger of Iowa has resigned his post
as American ambassador to Mexico,
to take effect Oct. 10, next, and Pres
ident Roosevelt has accepted the res
ignation.
Mr.. Conger's retirement from the
diplomatic service was foreshadowed
in the dispatches last week. It was
indicated then that he might be sent
to Picking as special commissioner
of the president to adjust, if possible,
the differences which have arisen be-
tween this country and China over
the boycott Of American goods by
some of the Chinese commercial
guilds.
While no official statement Is OBJ
tainable here regarding that mission,
there are reasons for the statement
that it either has been abandoned by
the president or it has been declined
by Mr. Conger. At any rate, it is
believed Mr.. Conger will not go to
China as a representative of the gNv-
eminent.
In rendering his resignation Major
COnger said:
"It is with feelings of regret that
I leave a service the duties of which
have found so interesting and in
which I have received so many evil
dences of your confidence and such
invariable kindness and courtesy at
your hands, of which I shall always
cherish most valuable and pleasant
recollections, for all of which thank
you, Mr.. President, with all my heart
In. reply the president wrote as
follows:
In zeal, efficiency and singlemind-
ed devotion to public duty, you have
been the kind of official Of whom
Americans have right to feel proud
and congratulate the country on
having had your services" ->-r..
