CITY COUNCIL
Lets CONTRACT


have the matter settled in some way
So that Hattiesburg could have a depot
and if we couldn't get a union depot
for us to go ahead and take what we
could get
Then Mr.. Lassiter falling in with the
union depot idea suggested that the
whole matter be deferred until the
council could open correspondence
with the railroads. all of them, and
get their opinions as TO union depot,
with the understanding that if the rail-
roads were against the scheme the
council was to agree with Mr.. Curran
and let the depot go to the east side.
To this suggestion Councilman Dill
said that it was the keynote Of the
whole business and he favored the
idea so strongly that the citizens left
the hall with the understanding that
the council would adopt motion to
| that effect.
When some one put the motion and
| it was seconded Mr.. Hightower
shocked the whole business worse
than an electric battery, with the
startling information that motion
had been lost some time before, at
the very opening Of the meeting which
had for its object the taking up Of the
! depot matter.
And then the members of the coun-
d.
Gil were at sea for moment until 1t
all came back to them and there we're
: the minutes to prove it.
4 So all that time went for nothing
} except that 1t had put a light on the
J matter that had not been considered
: before.
However no time will be lost fol
; it is said that the mayor and CLERK
/ Farley will take the matter up with
! the various railroads and write then
: a joint letter asking what stand they
will take in the union station agita
ton and the replies to these will b.
asked to be immediate that they ma,
be submitted to the council at tn,
earliest possible date.
| The meeting Of the council then ad
journed until next Tuesday night.

unqualifiedly wrong and that the tes-
timoay of both Snodgrass and Rough
for the state showed that the defend
ant was on the car coming to the
North Side after the time fixed by the
state as to the time when the crime
was committed and that the car on
which he rode arrived on the North
Side while the officers were at the
Ball house investigating the crime.
These facts you will find from the
reading of the states testimony with
out reference to the defense.
Your report states that Officer Peter
son found scratches on the defendants
face. 1t makes no mention Of the fact
that DR.. Pascoe examined the defend
ants face with magnifying glass
and testified in direct opposition 10
Peterson, saying that the only mark
was a razor mark several days old
and that it was not discernable to the
naked eye.
That part of the report referring to
the shifting of the defendants position
from that of Mistaken identity" to
"Alibi" is not only entirely without
foundation, but discloses deplorable
facts of the case. That there was a
crime committed is conceded. We
proved by the states witnesses and
our own that the defendant was in
South Ottumwa when the state said
the crime was committed. This Of
course involved an alibi and also
necessarily involved case Of
mistaken identity. think that you
will see that there was no shifting on
the part of the defense. l have not at
tempted to quote testimony but refer
you to the minutes which are not a
subject of controversy.
Up to this time it is of course true
that the public has been mainly de.
pendent upon you for Its knowledge
of the case and your paper is respon-
sible for the public impression. can
not see that any good purpose is serv-
ed by giving any other statement than
those substantiated by the evidence
and assume that you desire the facts.
therefore take this means of calling
your attention to the perfectly OBJ
vious error Of your report l am
not attempting to convince you of the
defendants innocence though the con-
clusion to be drawn from the facts in
evidence is perfectly inevitable. All
desire to say is that an examination
of the minutes of the testimony will
disclose to you that your report of the
case has no foundation in fact.
Yours truly,
E. G.. Moon.

CORN is SAFE
SAY BANKERS
ACREAGE is FULLY UP TO LAST
YEAR BUT CONDITION OF THE
CEREAL IS NOT so GOOD.

Des Moines, June 1O-In response
of Iowa bankers the Journal of Finance
plies as to the actual condition of
crops. With reference to Iowa, the
answers to the inquiries are given be-
low. They will show that Iowa's corn
is not in bad shape by any manner OF
means, and that while the plants are
not as vigorous as they might be still
there is a world of good time coming
and with sunshine the crop will push
forward to ripen into a bumper crop.
j. H. Merrill, Iowa National bank,
Ottumwa-Corn acreage fully up to
last year. Stand good and but little
complaint of seed rotting. Some dam
age from cut worms, which will disap-
pear with warm weather

cent of corn rotting in the field. Acre
age same as last year. A number OF
farmers replanting. They planted

too weak to stand cold, wet weather

J. L. Edwards, Merchants National
bank, Burlington-Acreage larger than
last year. Ground never in better
shape Worms are doing greater dam
age than the cold weather. In many in
stances making it necessary to re-
plant.
Arthur Reynolds, president of the
Des Moines National bank-Best ex.
perts here say the acreage of corn in
Iowa is about per cent more than
last year. Growing conditions, eli.
matte and soil, 81 per cent of last
year Some corn has been replanted
largely on account of lack of vitality
in seed. Very little seed has rotted
Corn is quite uneven.
Ernest e. Hart, president First Ma
tional bank, Council Bluffs-Corn acre
age about as usual in this section. The
stand is good, with less replanting
than is customary. With warm wealth
er the corn should be good.

PEOPLES PULPIT.

Editor Courier,
Dear sir.-I indulge the presumption
that you desire reports of matters Of
more or less importance appearing In
your paper to come somewhere near a
truthful statement of the facts. Bear
ing this presumption in mind desire
to call your attention to the report
of the Phillips case appearing in the
Courier of the 7th inst. l do not quote
the evidence, but merely refer you to
the minutes of the examination which
are quite full and accurate, as l be-
lieve, being taken by former Justice
Berry, who has had good deal Of ex-
perience in this line.
Your report states that the evidence
of the officers substantially agreed as
to the time the crime was committed
and that the time was about 1890,
You will find by reference to the min
utes that no officer was examined as
to the time that crime was committed
and that the only possible knowledge
they could have was and is as to the
time that they were notified. This
is the only point in this regard that
was covered by their testimony. and
your report is therefore unqualif1edly
erroneous.
Your report states that the assault
was committed about 1890 You will
find that the minutes disclose that all
of the witnesses who testified upon
this subject fixed an earlier time and
that while the earlier time might be
referred to as "about 1880" the in
ference plainly drawn from your re
port is erroneous.
Your report states that the testi
mony of the defense that the defend
ant was On the South Side when the
crime was committed was torn dowI
by the state, by showing that the de
PENDANT was seen down town at tina
time. You will find from the minutes
that this statement is absolutelY an
