HAPPENINGS IN IOWA
NEWS OF THE WEEK THROUGH.
OUT THE STATE.
Rsprieve Granted to Louis Russe, Who
Was to Have Been Executed
for the Murder of His
Wife.

Governor CumminS, at the conclu-
sion of a hearing, granted reprieve to
August 10 to Louis Busse of Butler
county, Ia, who was under sentence
to have been hanged at Anamosa at
the penitentiary at o'clock last Fri
day morning. The hearing before the
governor continued Thursday until late
in the evening. The decision being
reached about twelve hours before the
hour set for the execution. Word was
at once telegraphed to Anamosa m
the hearing before the governor, e. A.
Dawson of Waverly, attorney for
Busse, for the first time in the history
Of the state raise the point that in
criminal case the decision of the SUI
preme court must be unanimous in Or
der to affirm the decision of lower
court, and that the statute providing
that in case of an equal division of
opinion of the six members of the SUI
preme court the decision of the lower
court is affimed is unconstitutional. At
torney Dawson also showed that the
supreme court had failed to certify to
the governor the judgment of that
court affirming the decision of the low
er court, and that the action of the
governor In fixing a new date for the
execution was illegal. He held that
the governor had no concern with the
merits of the case, however, as he had
appealed to the supreme court his ap-
plication for writ of habeas corpus
and that time should be granted to al
low the court to try the case. Louis
Busse was convicted of numbering his
wife, Lena Busse, June IS, 1901, soon
after they were married. The evil
dence showed that they quarreled fire.
Quently. He set fire to the house in
order to cover up the crime, but the
body was only partly burned.

Electric Plants Don't Pay.

Iowa electric power and light plants
are losing venture, according to the
report of George g. Carson of Iowa
City, secretary of the Iowa Electric
Power Plant association, in his report
to the state meeting at Des Moines. He
contends that, as whole, plants have
not paid good net two per cent on
the investment. Gas and gasoline are
held largely responsible for this fact,
as gas in large degree has displaced
electricity in lighting, and gasoline in
power. The electric men are discuss

To Have Mineral Fountain.

Des Moines is to have a novel foun-
tain in front of the city library, which
faces the river there. 1t will be in
stalled in the next few weeks and will
be monster design cut from one
piece Of rock. 1t will supply water to
thousands from the natural mineral
spring. The spring which is to sup
ply the fountain has mineral proper
ties and it has been said that 5000
jugs day are filed at this fountain
and carried to offices and homes. Peo-
pie suffering with rheumatism go to
the springs on crutches and drink as
much as they can. 1t does them good
and 1t seems possible to drink more Of
this than ordinary water. People are
permitted to fill jugs and deliver them
about the city at a delivery price. The
fountain is being erected by the Des
Moines board of park commissioners
and is to be set in an artistica1ly de-
signed niche of cement work with
steps leading from the fountain base

appearance caused excitement and a

finally was abandoned and the man
was given up for dead. His property
was sold and his supposed widow re-.
moved to Grinnell with her family.
Last week Lamont reappeared there,
almost as mysteriously as he disap-
peared. He said that he had been in

there are no evidences of this much
advertised feud outside the heads of
certain addle pated Republicans. The
wish in their case is father to the
thought. Why should there be feud
betwiXt the Nebraskan and the New
Yorker? They are working for the
same end-the emancipation of the
masses from the iron yoke of the
classes. Each pursues his own METH
cd, as is natural. Each desires to be
president, as everybody knows. They
are both young men, and there is plen-
ty of time for both to be president
By working together they are much
more likely to reach the goal for which
all statesmen pant as the hart panteth
for the water brook than by fighting
each other. Neither is considered lack
ing in mental acumen by men in posi-
tion to judge, and what others see they
probably will see-that in unity there
is strength. So, on the whole, it may
be well for our Republican friends to
disillusionize their minds of the Bryan
Hearst feud delusion and to search for
another peg on which to hang their
hope of winning in 1908. That hope
becomes less and less as dissensions
in the Republican camp multiply and
the unity of Democrats becomes more
patent and more pronounced.
