Special to Times-Republican.
Des Moines, Dec. 24.-Taken back to
Mu4physboro for trial on charges OF
arson was the fate Of Milo Cummings,
the evangelist who has been held in
the Des Moines city jail awaiting them
He was shackled and carefully guard
ed by Hansen, the Illinois sheriff, altho
he stated Friday that he was willing
to waive extradition and would ac-
company the sheriff voluntarily. The
latter, however, secured the papers and
latter, however, secured the papers at
the governors office Saturday night
and deemed it necessary to handcuff
his prisoner.
Mrs. Cummings, who has done every
thing in her power to tighten her hus-
bands imprisonment, remained with
him in his cell until so late Saturday
night that she missed the o'clock
Wabash train that she was to have
taken for st. Louis and from thence to
Murphysboro. She had checked her
baggage and bought her ticket, but
after leaving the police station at 10
o'clock Saturday night, has not been
seen by the police. Cummings re-
uuested that his wife should not ac-
company himself and the sheriff and
she had promised him to take the two
children and go on ahead. 1t is be-
lieved by the police that she waited
for the train that was to take her hus-
band back to their old home, occupy
ing another coach SO that he would not
be aware of her presence.
Cummings expressed relief when his
term of imprisonment in Des Moines
was at an end, and said that he was
anxious to return to Murphysboro to
face the charges against him. He still
maintains that he is innocent of any
crime.

IOWA BISHOP DEAD
Lingering illness Fatal to Bishop Cos
grove, of tho Catholic Diocese of
Davenport-Nearly 500 Priests Ex-
pected to Attend the Funeral.

Special to Times-Republican
Davenport, Dec. 24.-Rt. Rev. Henry
Cosgrove, bishop Of the Catholic do
cese OF Davenport. Is dead, having
o'clock, after lingering illness. The
immediate cause Of his death Is said to
have been cancer OF the kidneys, but
he had been ailing for years from dys-
pepsia, which developed into sort Of
general debility. He had been an in
valid Tor the past eighteen months, and
was practically helpless for the greater
part Of that time. Several weeks ago
all hope was given up and physicians
then announced that his death might
occur at any moment.
Bishop Cosgrove long ago realized
this and passively awaited the end. He
did not suffer. but gradually dwindled
away.
The funeral will probably be held on
Thursday, the approach Of Christmas
making 1t impossible to hold 1t earlier.
1t is expected that score or more Of
bishops from all parts OF the United
States and between four and five hun
bred priests will be in attendance In
torment will be In a vault under the
vestibule in the Sacred Heart cathedral
alongside Of his predecessor. Bishop
McMullen.
The Rt. Rev. James Davis. who was
appointed coadjutor bishop Of the Dav-
export diocese about eighteen months
ago, will succeed Bishop Cosgrove. He
has practically had charge OF the do
cese for many months owing to the
sickness of Bishop Cosgrove.
Bishop Cosgrove succeeded the late
Bishop McMullen as bishop of the Dav-
export diocese in 1884 and his adminis-
tration has been one OF the most sue
cessful in the country.

SCHLECKER EXPLAINS
secretary of LiIIooet Gold Mining and
Dredging Company Gives Reasons
Why Enterprise Went to Pieces -
Books Open for Inspection.


Iowa Falls Dec. 24.-Every stock
holder in the now famous 1owa-Lil-
| looet Gold Mining and Dredging Com
pany, Ltd. which had its inception in
this city several years ago, Will read
with interest Secretary Schlecker's
three reasons why the Enterprise went
to pieces. An imperfect dredge, nu-
merous breakdowns as result OF Its
imperfections, and failure Of pay dirt,
sums up the tale that has brought dis
tress, disappointments and even death
in it's trail Mr.. Schlecker is now in
Seattle, where he went to find employ
ment after the legal troubles of the past
few weeks caused him to abandon the
operation Of the dredge. He states
that the books Of the company are
open for inspection, and that they re-
accounts are incorrect. 1t seems that
he issued letter to the creditors OF
the company announcing the insolv-
ency Of the company. Having shown
that he did not disappear" as has
been stated, that his accounts are COR
rect, and that the company is insolv-
ent and tied up in legal proceedings
brought on by John Ames, formerly Of
this state. who claims that the Lii
looet company has been trespassing on
his claims. He states that in 1905 the
trustees here raised $4,000 to pay up
indebtedness against the dredge and
for repairs. All the gold taken from
the river by the dredge and the money
sent out by the Iowa members Of the
company, all went for repairs on the
dredge. The pay dirt continued to
dwindle and the pinch came when the
company could not raise $500 to pay
off indebtedness and move the dredge
to another bar, where better pay dirt
could be found. He says that since
March, 1905, when Schlecker took
charge of the dredge, it has never oper-
ated successfully. Attorney John Lam
preeht,, of this city, is now in Vancou-
yer, B. c., to look after the interests
of the Iowa stockholders. and the next
move will probably not be known until
he returnes and files his report.

Eight Important Measures Will
Occupy the Time of the ses-
sion of the Legislature
INSURANCE REPORT PROMINENT
That Question, Primary and Two Cent

Delivers Reelection Assured-Re-
formatory Bills Will Also Occupy
Considerable Time.

Special 20 Times Republican.
Des Moines, Dec. 24.-Eight meas
ures, aside from the question OF APP
propriations, will consume probably
more than half of the attention OF the
Thirty second general assembly. which
will meet In this city Jan. IA. These
measures stated in the order OF the
amount of time and attention they are
likely to command of the legislators
are:
The Insurance commission report and
recommendations.
The primary election measure.
The two-cent fare bill.
The consolidation OF the boards OF
educational institutions.
The indeterminate sentence and state
reformatory bills.
Uniform system OF accounts for
counties and inspection of county
accounts by the state auditors office.
The tenure of office measure propos-
ing to lengthen terms to four years.
The reelection of Senator Dolliver.
The anti-lobby bill might be added
but IL the idea Of some Of the legisla-
tors is followed Of passing the anti
lobby bill the first week of the session
that measure will not consume great
deal of time.
Probably If the aggregate time which
the legislators are required to give to
any one measure is considered the
woman's suffrage resolution should be
placed at the head of the list for the
women lobbyists for that resolution are
probably more active than any other
and take more of the time of the leg
islators but the time given the meas
ure in the committees and the time that
it takes to vote it down when 1t comes
to vote does not compare favorably
with the other measures before the
general assembly.
The fact that the legislature was In
session for thirteen weeks during the
first four months Of this year and that
only about eight months has elapsed
between the time the last legislature
adjourned and the next one will meet
it is no evidence that the coming ses-
sion will be short one. There are
as many important leading measures to
come before the next session as there
were at the last or more and there are
lust as many OF the smaller PROPOSE
tions that will be up for consideration.
