The beautiful island OF Krakatba. in the
Strait of Sunda, might have remained COM
paratively unknown to the remainder OF
the world had not the fearful eruptions Of
1888 drawn to 1t tragic notoriety. The
shock was heard for 400 miles, and the
lights were seen for 1000 miles. An after
result, the famous red sunsets. when Tor
hoqp the sky was red to the point OF blood
just before night came, were results OF this
explosion that were noted In every bart OF
the world.
Krakatoa had not the many visitors that
go to such places as the bay of Naoles.

as had stopped at its shores were enthusiast

The most terrific Of hurricanes the new
world ever sees are those which sweep
across the West Indies and move along the
Gulf Of Mexico. Compared to these, such
blows as those which devastated st. Louis
are mild. The recent hurricane that did
such damage along the gulf tore its way
across thousands Of miles of the most raw
ishing, beautiful tropical landscape.
The fates seemed to guide its course as
they pick out the places for earthquake and
volcano. For the beauty OF the Arcadias,
a baneful price is paid.

FUSS is ALL HOT AIR.
Fort Dodge Excited Over Suit Filed by
Minority Stockholders Of N. e. N.

Special to Times Republican.
Boone, Jan. 15.-The fuss raised in
Fort Dodge over the suit filed by the
minority stockholders of the Newton &
Northwestern is mostly hot air. The
Newton & Northwestern company and
the Fort Dodge, Des Moines & South
ern Company are owned by the same
capitalists, and the suits filed are caus-
ing many laugh in this city. The
minority stockholders, including S. 7.
Meservy, Of Fort Dodge, and Hamilton
Browne, the interurban promoter, have
brought suits against the N. & N. W..
Company asking that the company be
enjoined from leasing portion of it's
line, leaving two ends useless to the
Fort Dodgej Des Moines & Southern
railroad for interurban purposes. The
petition cites that the object of the
majority stockholders is to lease the
paying part of the line and leave the
minority stockholders out in the cold
on the profits This is ridiculous, as
the members of the company would not
think of injuring one property to ben
eft the other. The suit is regarded at
headquarters in Boone as being huge
joke and play on the part Of the mi
nority stockholders to force sale of
their stock.

libel suit yesterday, started by the

concern had circulated handbills de-
rogatory to the business of the Ne
braska company.

tached to the petition, intimates that
the Beatrice company is a trust, and
asks the question. Aren't you glad you
are not at the mercy of the trust?"
would you continue to milk COWS If
you were forced to take cents per
pound under the market for butter
fat?" is another statement that ap-
pears in the bill 1t is declared by the
suing company that the defendant tried
to create the impression that it was
q trust.
1t is claimed by the Beatrice COM
pany that the handful was circulated
thruout many parts of the state, and
that as result of a comparative state
ment the prices paid, in which the far
mers' company was always represented
as paying 4 higher price than its com
petitor, many of the Beatrice companys
patrons have refused to sell it their
products.

ment of the defendant, alleging ille-
gality in the drawing and empaneling
of the jury which returned the indict-
ments. The counsel cited ten counts in
which it was shown that the whole
proceedings were illegal. The objec-
lions in the main were in effect that
there was no general election IN Iowa
in 1905 from which the county auditor
could draw list of jurors; that the
supervisors drew the names, each SUI
pervisor drawing from his own dis
trict and placing after each name the
letter c.; that there is no record of
return of these in the election book
of the county auditor; that the court
erred in dismissing Grand Juryman e.
r.. Hubbard because he was drawn
while a resident of Mason township.
and when summoned to duty was
resident of Mason City which act on
the part of the court disqualified the
entire panel; therefore the counsel
moved that the indictment be set aside
as the defendant was not lawfully and
properly indicted. The hearing Of the
motion is set for January q.
Mr.. Barlow appeared in court this
morning. He looks pale and haggard
from the effects of the worry and the
