FISHER LANDS ON TOP.
Middletown's Mayor Gets Even With
 the City Attorney.

Middletown, Feb 5.-The meeting of the common council last night proved to be of unusual interest. The much talked question of the re-elec- tion of City Attorney Curtiss <. Ba- con was settled In surprising way by abolishing the office. Councilman Myron $. Burr introduced the motion and it was carried, s to .. Council man Allison not voting. The read ing of the motion created a big sur prise among the spectators and brought present City Attorney Bacon to his feet with fiery speech.
 Mr Bacon said that the proposed abolishiug of the office was direct blow at him by the mayor because he had refused to give the mayor a written opinion regarding the draw ing of cash and other prizes at the Elks' fair. He also said that the mayor had told him to-day that if he would give him a written opinion he wouh assure him of sixteen votes to- night. Mr Bacon refused to give the opinion.
 Before the vote was taken there were some sharp speeches but the motion finally prevailed by one vote. If the mayor wants any legal advice now he can go to any lawyer for it.
 Mayor Fisher was authorized to pc tition the general assembly In the name of the city to amend the city charter so that the salary of the judge of the city court shall be reduced from q o0 to x50o The mayor was authorized to petition the legislature for an amendment to the charter ts change the hour of voting at the city elections from 2 a. m- to 6 a. m.

NEW SIX STORY BUILDING.
Fort Dodge to Have Edfice in Spite
of Efforts to Break Smell Will.

Special TO Times Republican.
Fort Dodge. Oct 3.-Fort Dodge is
assured of another six story building.
Notwithstanding an effort will be made
to break the will of the late Thomas
Smell According to provision OF
the will s150.OOO was set aside for the
erection of the building here. but the
greater part of the immense fortune
left by the deceased was to be held
as trust fund until the death of the
youngest grandchild, probably for
ninety years to come, should he in
herit the vitality of his grandfather.
This part of the will proved unsat-
iSfactory to the heirs and Il combined
effort has been made to break the will.
However, Richard Smell. the only liv-
ing son. and who was practically dis
inherited, being cut off with a gift of
$50. stated while in the city yester-
day that even If the will was decided
to be invalid the building would be
erected here. as such an investment
would be considered one of the best
which could be made by the heirs.
The corner on which the building is
to be erected is one of the most valu-
able in the city, and altho occupied in
part at the present time by the En-
pire theater, a moving picture attrac-
ton. a long lease of the same has been
refused, which leads to the belief the
Improvement will be made in the near
future A decision as to the validity
of the will will be made by an Illi-
nois court during the early part OF
November and the work on the build
ing will commence soon after.

Cedar Falls, Oct "a statement OF
more than ordinary interest as an ex-
hibit in the trouble now going on in
st. Patrick's church parish at Cedar
Falls, has been issued by committee
of the parish. This is taken as means
of stating Rev. Father Donlon's side
of the matter in that he is now under
an injunction restraining him referring
to the matter in any way The COM
mittee consists of John McGreevy, Ed
Gallagher, D. j. Wilson and F. b. La
Valley who are now in temporal charge
of the affairs of the parish.
The committee maintains that Thos.
B. Casey had not paid his pew rent
and that action taken to stop use or IL
was a means to collect the rent justly
due. There are others interested In the
controversy who insist that the affair
will result in Rev. Father Donlon be-
ing transferred from the parish as his
continuance would be very distastefui
to him. The parish is spoken OF as not
a large one nor growing one and that
there are places where he might be
transferred where his services would
be more appreciated.

Mr.. Jochim Strellner, of Big Grove
township has proven the falsity OF
Governor Boies' New York speech, In
which he said the farmers OF Iowa
We're losing IS cents an acre on their
land. Mr.. Strellner came to Fig
Grove township in 1869 with only $40
in his pockets. In 1870 he rented a
farm. He went in debt for the horses,
harness and farm utensils and machin-
cry. After renting awhile he pnr-
chased the John Il. Houran farm OF
240 acres agreeing to pay about 52S
per acre. In due time he had that debt
worked out and in 1893 he bought rhe
Page farm on ten years time. but it
paid out in six years. For this farm
he paid $50 per acre. The last farm
he purchased was of 400 acres from
Aett-and VarRey. For this farm he
