LYNcHERs STILL AT LARGE.
Feeling Stronger Than Ever That No
Indictment Will Be Returned.

Feeling Stronger Than Ever That No
Indictment Will Be Returned.
Special to Times Republican.
Charles City, Jan. 15.-It is conceded
nv County Attorney Rue, who has. re-
turned from his home at Nora Springs
to resume the grand jury grind, that
the state has gathered no important
evidence during the recess, and the
feeling is stronger than ever that no
Indictment for the Cullen lynchers will
be returned The term of court Is a
regular one and several other matters
are to be brought before the jury.
Citizens Of Charles City are satisfied
that Cullen murdered his wife because
Of quarrel with her over property.
About six hundred persons attended
the mass meeting of citizens here to
protest against the lynching OF James
Cullen. The meeting was held In the
German Methodist church and was ad-
dressed by Rev. Nathaniel Pye of the
Methodist church, Rev. Wilson Denny
of the Congregational church and DIR.
F. E. Hirsch, president OF Charles City
college.
DR.. Hirsch declared that too many
murderers were declared insane, and
dealt with too leniently. This leniency
and the delays on the part of the courts
results in many citizens becoming in
censed beyond reason and leads to mob
rule.
In the Charles City case he said that
altho he could not speak a good word
for James Cullen, he deprecated the
lynching because mob rule leads to an
archy and general disregard Of the law.
No resolutions were passed.

The following menu was served:
Two new lights have been placed on
North Broad street, just in front of
Simmons & Sawyer's grocery and A.
P. Pierce's grocery. These lights add
greatly to the comfort and convenience
Of the people using this street, as just
north of Pierce's the sidewalk takes a
sudden slump, making it dangerous in
winter, on account of the sleet and ice,
and in summer on account of holes
and bumps in the board walk, which
has been kept in poor repair for some
years.

general policy that the legislature has
attempted to apply to express COM
panies should not also be applied to
telegraph companies. If 1t is equitable
to ascertain the value Of express routes
by ascertaining the value of the pro-
perty as whole, and then taking
mileage proportion of it, it would be
no less equitable to determine the
value of the telegraph lines in the same
manner. The mere cost of constructing
telegraph line is no criterion OF us
worth for the purpose of taxation. l
recommend the passage of a law that
will set up the same criterion for tele-
graph property that you have estab-
lished for express property.
Il have long believed that both ex-
press companies and telegraph COM
panies should be brought within the
jurisdiction of the railroad commission,
and that the commission should be CIV
en- the same authority to prescribe
rates for Geographic messages and for
the carrying of express matter, and to
supervise the management of telegraph
and express companies, that 1t now has

DIES OF STARVATION.
Sad Destitution Of Dubuque Widow
With Three Small Children.


Special to Times Republican.
Dubuque jan 15.-An unusually sad
case of restitution was discovered here,
too late to save the life of Margaret
Sullivan, widow with three small
children. Too proud to ask for aid,
and with her body distorted with
dropsy, she was found dying in a mis-
cradle shack, her emaciated body coy
cred with rags. The woman, it is
learned actually died Of starvation, and
had been suffering with an attack Of
dropsy for weeks. She was buried
yesterday.
Friday her 14-year-old son appeared
to the master mechanic Of the Mil
waukee shops, and begged him for 5
cents with which to buy his mother a
loaf Of bread The man went with the
lad and found a terrible condition of
affairs,
Lying on a set Of springs rusted and
worn with age and evidently taken
from the city dump was the form Of q
woman. Over her were spread thread
bare coverings, and the body was drawn
cold, and in great cracks in the roof
and walls the snow had sifted in with
the biting winter blasts. There was no
fire in the miserable howell utterly de-
void of furniture, and there was no
place for a stove to make one in.
Two small children were in a pitiful
condition. Funds were raised among
the workmen of the shops to aid the
family but it came too late, as the
woman passed away Sunday.
