the Des Moines Short Line when
shown the report in Des Moines pa
per to the effect that President Brad
ford Of the Des Moines, Iowa Falls &
Northern had gone to New York to
play the Rock Island against the Mil
waukee in an effort to sell the Short
Line property to the best advantage.
The officials Of the road here deny the
report in toto and state that there Is
nothing whatever in the proposed bid
of the Rock Island for the Short Line
property. 1t is cited that President
Bradford is at the head OF the; Wis

the Milwaukee interests and that while
having no direct connection with the
Milwaukee system in an official capaci-
ty, yet Mr.. Bradford is in close touch
with the Milwaukee management, and
will further the interests Of that sys-

longs to the Milwaukee road for 1t fits

Special to Times Republican.
Waterloo, May 1S.-John Emmick,
who died at the Presbyterian hospital
on Wednesday after brief Illness OF
pneumonia, seems to have been a very
peculiar character Tho the amount
of his property, estimated at $4,000,
is believed to have been exaggerated at
first reports, if he still owns his farm
in South Dakota, this amount would be
greatly increased AS he died interstate
the several heirs will no doubt hasten
to announce themselves and will put
in their respective claims for a share
in the old mans estate.
At present two nephews, two
nieces and one second cousin are
known while a number Of other rela-
tives mentioned in letters from the
nephew and niece in Ohio, would in
dictate that the heirs may be numer-
Gus. III
The heirs as learned up to date
are George w. Shipman, a nephew,
Mt Gilead, o.. believed ,at first to be
the only surviving heir; Virgil Ship
man, another nephew. living at the
same place; Mrs. Elizabeth J. Chase,
Mt. Gilead, niece and mother of
two children; Miss Ella Newsom, an-
other niece, Upton. Iowa, and Jim
Emmick, second cousin, of Shell
Rock.
Mr.. Emmick showed his peculiari-
ties in many ways. One was in his
extreme, secretiveness regarding his
personal affairs and his conflicting
stories regarding the events of his
life
To some people he said that he was
never married and it was generally
believed that he was an old bachelor.
However, it is recorded in the court
house records in this city as a
transcript of a record in the Linn
county court house that al divorce was
granted in Linn county to Jennie a.
Walmer May /, 1890, from John EN-
mick and the case was settled by the
court awarding her her maiden name
and the sum Of $4,000, Mr.. Emmick
paying the costs. 1t is believed this
marriage was performed in Cedar coun-
ty and it is understood that they lived
together a few years.
Others who have known him for
years believe that Mr.. Emmick was
married previous to this time to a
young woman who worked in hotel
in Kimball, S. D. This marriage must
have taken place about thirty years,
ago, for 1t was about that time that he
was on farm near Kmball. It is un-
derstood that he secured divorce and
gave the woman his farm TO settle the
matter satisfactorily to her.

Wheat Mentioned
In the Bible
Z Highly Esteemed by Ancients-knoWn
as "Corn''-Maize Was Unknown.

= Highly Esteemed by Ancients-known
as "Corn''-Maize Was Unknown.
Wheat is often referred to in the
!. Bible and other old literature In such
terms as to leave no doubt of it's value
in those days.
He malSeth peace in thy borders and
filleth thee with the finest of the
wheat. z Psalm CXLvII, verse Ia.
He should have fed them also with
the finest of the wheat. "-S1st Psalm,
verse 16.
The finest of the wheat today, Is
Malta Vita. in which the strength
giving carbohy drates are predigested-
that is, converted into maltese ready
for immediate absorption by the blood.
Wheat has been since the earliest
ages the natural food Of mankind.
Scientists class it as a force pro-
ducer'' and prove it the only food
grown which supplies every food ele-
naent required from infancy to old age.
In this age of rapid eating, people
al, not thoroughly chew their food and
thus mix it with saliva to convert its
search into maltese, ready for assimi-5
lation, as nature requires. This is
done In Malta Vita by mixing pure
malt extract with the cooked whole
Wheat when the food Is made. Malta
Vita prevents and often cures stom-'
sach ills. For people of all ages 1t pro-
duces greater vigor Of mind and body
than any other food. Sold by all
grOcerS.

depreciation put on the bill by some
of the workingmen.
Section II Of the bill, provides for
the regular meetings of the mayor and
councilmen. One sentence of this Sec
ton is as follows: "All meetings of
the council, whether regular or special.
at which any person not a city officer
is admitted, shall be open to the pub
lie" AS interpreted by the opposition
to the bill and more particularly as
studied out by the union labor men
this section specifically provides for
star chamber. sessions. The council
can hold secret sessions behind closed
doors as long as it wishes to and all
the time. 1t can admit city employees
and officers to these meetings. The
only provision for open meetings is
that IL any person not connected with
the city administration is admitted
then everybody must have the same
right. OF course the city council now
has star chamber meetings but the OPP
position to the bill objects to the new
plan having that provision when it is
intended to correct present day evils.
Still another provision is that the
members of the council fill vacancies
on the commission There are only
five including the mayor Now il the
corporations should elect two by some
chance they could get one more either
by purchase or by finding him good
job at big wages in some other city
such that he couldn't afford to reject
the offer. Then the council would
be. a tie at least and the two corpora
tion men could dicker for terms in
the matter of filling the vacancy
Whatever the merit of these argu-
ments they are some that the oppose
ton to the commission plan propose
to lay before the public in their fight
against its adoption.

getting to be too much OF dress pa
raGe affair. Women can't change their
costumes two or three times day
and attend to business, that's GER
tainty."
In the above characteristic state
ment Mrs W. F. Mitchell. president
of the Des Moines Women's club, set
forth her criticism of the notable cor
vention at Oskaloosa.
THE shirt waist woman, the woman
of plain dress was much in the minor
ity, and the whose convention sug-
gested nothing more than a dress pa
rade. have attended the past four
conventions Of the state federation and
I regret that they have been gradually
growing dressier.. Women can't pos
sibly give the time and thought to
dress that they did at Oskaloosa and
give proper thought and attention to
the business of the convention. The
work Of the federation must suffer II
this continues further.
1T isn't any more appropriate for
woman to appear on the platform at
a morning session Of federation con-
vention in an elaborate evening gown
than 1t is for man to go parading
the streets at the same hour of day
In an opera hat and evening suit. Yet
that is just what happened at the con-
ventfon.
I'm marked contrast to this general
tendency of the delegates was the APP
pearance OF that splendid woman, Mrs.
Florence Kelly, whose address on the
child labor question was the feature
OF the meeting. She was plainly
CARRIED and an embodiment of plain
living and high thinking principles.
The earnest and sincere women from
some of the smaller cities and towns
also showed their eminent good sense
by appearing in plain costumes.
IT couldn't help thinking about the
poor husbands at home and their m
ward groans as they contemplate the
bills, that all, this dressing must bring.
IT think it's time for the women TO
leave their fiuffs and ruffles at home"
