were in a top buggy and the team
turned the corner throwing the occu-
pants out. catching Mrs. Bailey in the
top and dragging her some distance.
She was removed to her home where
medical aid was promptly summoned.
While no bones were broken, she re-
ceived very severe injuries to her back
and shoulder and 1t is impossible to
tell whether she is internally injured
or not. The team straddled a barbed
wire fence and broke every post down
along line fence until they ran into
a tree ard became detached from the
buggy.
About three quarters Of mile OF
cement walk between Main street and
the cemetery is being put in this week
and it is hoped to have the new walk
completed to the cemetery before Dec
Grafton day. This is largely the result
of the earnest work and solicitation
on the part of Albert Clark, who owns

GRAIN MEN Want Law
Dealers in Iowa Complain That
the Railroads Are Unfair
About Cars i.
WE'RE Disseminated AGAINST
Complaint Made That Railroad. Used
All Available Cars to Carry Thru
Traffic From Omaha and Kansas
City, Leaving Nothing for the Iowa
Observation-Disclosures News.

Des Moines, May 16.-The impera-
tive demand for some law with winch
to control railroad distribution OF cars
was the topic which received most
liberal discussion before the Iowa
Grain Dealers Association convention
yesterday afternoon at the Y. NJ. G..
A. auditorium.
Il know of one road which operates
in Iowa" said George A. Wells, secre-
tary, in making his annual report,
(Which took hundreds of cars from its
from Omaha and Kansas City to the
Atlantic coast at a very low rate in
competition with the gulf lines, and
at the same time supplied Iowa with
but about one third of the cars nee
essary to move the grain in its terri
tory"
This he urged was an unjust and
injurious discrimination against Iowa
grain dealers.
Following his annual report Mr..
Wells presented a number of resolu-
tions for the consideration of the con-
vention. These urged railroads to use
all their power to look after the inter-
ests Of shippers at terminals to prevent
leakage and stealage. A resolution
was also drafted petitioning railroads to
use duplicate instead Of consecutive
numbering on their seals.
The convention was opened shortly
after 2 o'clock by President Jay A.
King of Nevada. Contrary to Gus
tom President King did not deliver an
annual address, but opened the meeting
with few appropriate remarks. The
principal address Of the afternoon was
that OF J. L. McOauu, of Minneapolis,
vito spoke on the grain trade gener-
ally
Last evening the association held its
annual banquet at Gibson hall with
an informal program. The guests of
the evening We're representatives from
the Iowa State Agricultural college
and the Iowa Corn Growers Associa-
ton. who spoke Of their special IN
terests, and representatives from the
boards Of trade at Minneapolis, Chi
cago, Omaha, Kansas City, Peoria and
ST. Louis, who pictured to the grain
dealers the advantages Of their term
inals for disposition Of grain.
This morning George A. Wells made
q report on railroad claims. Hiram N.
Sager, Of Chicago, will discuss grain
inspection and F. D. Babcock of Ida
Grove mutual insurance. Mr.. Wells
will then give synopsis OF existing
state reciprocal demurrase rules. The
election of officers will occur this att
