Injury by Rip Saw to Waterloo Man
Likely to Prove Fatal.

Spec1al TO 5l1llleS-TtepupilSsiii.
Waterloo, Dec. 12.-There is but lit
tie hope now for Il. d. Clark, who re-
Gently sustained serious injury while
at work on rip saw in the Nauman
company plant. He was employed in
the frame work department, but had
voluntarily stepped to the saw and
started to run it. The saw revolves at
a high rate of speed and the. wood be-
ing cut is pushed ugaints it. Ordinarily
the blade passes thru the wood
quickly and saws it smoothly, but on
this occasion something caused 1T to
stick and the force of the swiftly NOV
ing blade caused the wood to rebound.
AS it did so Mr.. Clark was struck
In the side. AT first the injury appear
ed to be quite trivial, but as time wore
on the pain increased and 1t was nm
ally decided an operation would be
necessary. When an incision was MADE
in his side the doctors discovered one
of the intestines had been ,punctured,
and for a distance of two feet the orr
gan was in a discolored condition. the
wound was dressed and several stitch
es taken in the intestines.
Mr.. Clark is a married man, and mas
four small children, the Oldest of Whom
is not over ten years of age.
An accident almost Identical to the
one of Friday happened about two
years ago at the Nauman company's
plant, and resulted in the death OF
young man by the name of Wolfe.

Waterloo. Dec. 12.-The case of G. IA.
Woodward VS.. Bertha c. Hughes and
b. Il. Hughes of Des Moines, in the
courts of Black Hawk and Webster
counties, is brought for the double pur-
pose OF recovering on notes and set
ting aside title to property SO that a
writ of attachment may be served. The
case In question Is one in which 1t is
alleged the defendant traded stock of
goods belonging to plaintiff on East
Fourth street, which was looked after
by a relative of plaintiff, and securing
therefor house and lot In Linden
which was decided to defendants wife.
Defendant then gave his note for the
purchase of the stock of goods in the
sum of $1,000. An investigation has
since been instituted disclosing that
defendant had no property on which
to secure the notes.
The action in Black Hawk county
courts is to set aside the deed to prop
erty traded for in Linden place anc
the action in Webster county is to re-
cover on note of $1,000 given February
%, 1904, at per cent interest, amount
ing in all to S1,174.16.

Proposal to Place Power of Law Max

-Byrkit's Novel Idea.
Special to Times-Republican.

Special to Times-Republican.
Des Moines, Dec. 12-"Abolish the
legislature, elect a commission Of If
teen or twenty men which could meet,
not once every two years, but when
ever occasion demanded. and meet with
the attorney general and governor to
make the laws" Such is the course
advocated by c. S. Byrkit. formerly
deputy secretary of state
Mr.. Byrkit does not expect soon to
see his idea carried into actual prac-
tice. but he sustains his position that
1t would be better than the present
method by means OF many arguments.
He calls the present method OF max
ing laws cumbersome and unwieldly.
1t Is necessary now, says Mr.. Byrkit,
to run long gauntlet before you can
get a law passed.
Suppose you are interested in a
bill. You must appear before a COM
mittee OIL the house. A committee COM
posed OF as many men as the entire
commission would be. After you have
won that committee you have to win
the house. Then you have to win the
senate committee and after that the
senate. BY the time your bill has gone
thru these four channels 1t is probably
emasculated beyond recognition and
you are no longer in favor of 1t your
self. 1t goes to the governor and he
has to be won over to favor it.
"A modest man shinks from trying
to work bill thru. II he does at
tempt 1t he can appear for 1t only in
committee. On the floor OF the house
or senate he Is not privileged to say
word for it.
suppose there was a commission OF
fifteen or twenty men to make the
laws. They could be in session here
whenever need be. An enormous ex-
pense of committee clerks and house
and senate employees would be dispens-
ed with. Any one favoring a bill could
meet here with the commission, sit
down to table with the commission
and go over the points Of the proposed
law in detail. Arrange that the at
torney general and the governor sit
with the commission. Even the SUI
preme court might be called In to pass
on the constitutionality of the act be-
fore 1t is passed. Under the present
arrangement after bill goes thru all
the process and becomes law it sonne-
times takes several years to discover
that it is unconstitutional"

The stranger said Morris was wanted

at the officers visit, but asked permits

rest to go to an upper room and se-
cure his overcoat. The fellow was so
obliging that he succeeded in complete

After waiting considerably longer
than 1t was thought necessary for a
man to ascend flight of stairs and Sc

to investigate. They did, and found
their man had flown.

Special to Times Republican.
Council Bluffs, Dec. 12.-The Iowa
State Grange, Patrons of Husbandry,
is in session here today, this being
their thirty seventh annual meeting.
There was but remnant of a once
formidable organization represented at
this meeting, there being now about
twenty five subordinate lodges of the
order in the state, one of the largest
grain producing states in the union. A
feature of the grange no longer in evil
dence in this state is still in vogue in
New York and several other eastern
states. 1t is that of cooperative buy
ing and selling grain and other farm
products
The order is one that is little heard
or In later years. 1t was organized at
the close of the civil war when the
agricultural interests OF the southern
states was In languishing condition
due to poverty, the ravages of war, diff
hculty in securing labor and the abb
sence OF mixed husbandry. In order to
secure relief President Johnson an
pointed o. H. Kelley, of the bureau of
agriculture, as agent of the department
to collect statistical information with a
view of encouraging immigration to
that locality.
It was while on this mission that
Kelley conceived the idea of an assoc
citation that would bind the agriculture
al interests Of the country into one
great brotherhood. He laid his plan
before friends at Washington who ac-
'cepted them with favor and at con-
ference held on Nov. 10. 1867, the pat
rons of husbandry was organized and
the grange was adopted as the name
of its constituent body. On December
4 of that year the ma tional body was
organized.
Not long after the organization of
these twin bodies the grange, in several
states in the west undertook the con-
troll of the railroads, elevators and
other commercial enterprises with in
different success for the time being,
but later succeeded in bringing abou.
legislation favorable to the agricul-
turists.
Thirty years ago the grange was an
institution of great Importance. In no
place was this true more than in Iowa.
In almost every town, there was local
lodge, while in many of the rural dis
tricts there were lodges.
Now the remnant of the order con-
ducts its affairs SO quietly and unob-
trusively no one outside the reporters,
whose business it is to know such
things, realize such a meeting is on.
