Special to Times Republican.
Grinnell, Jan. 1S..rhere Is quite
little talk on the streets concerning the
money that was raised in this town for
the San Francisco sufferers. 1t will be
news to some that this money mas not
yet been forwarded to San Francisco,
and the custodians of the fund seemed
to have acted wisely IN delaying the
transmission Of several hundred dol
lars given by the generous people OF
Grinnell for the earthquake sufferers.
The reason of the delay in sending the
money promptly was the reported dis
closure Of improper use Of money by
the officials OF San Francisco, and the
condition today Is, whether there are
people in that city who should be fur
Their objects OF charity: but the money
is here and is raised. 1t is impossible
to return 1t to the donors for not all
are known and many Of them would UNI
doubtedly object to such disposition
OF the money raised for charitable
purposes. but it is white elephant on
the hands of the holders Of the fund
and a serious problem for them to
solve. The suggestion has been made
by some of the givers to this fund that
the money be given to Iowa college,
but this is not an altogether satisfac-
tory solution of the problem.

Special to Times-Republican.
TT. Dodge, Jan. 1S.--Many are OF
the firm belief that FIT Dodge has a
haunted house, in which a family
named Wilson lives downstairs, while
the upper part is occupied by Mrs. DIR.
Lloyd and her three children. Mys-
terious raps, loud enough to be heard
all over the house, coming three at a
time, now In one room, now in another.
have terrorized the occupants of the
place. 1t was first thought that the
children were responsible for the rap
pings hut this has been disproved.
The residents Of that part of the city
are all excitement. One night crowd
of not less than one hundred people
gathered within the house and stood
without. Nearly all heard the rap
pings.
The occupants Of the house state
that they are not often heard In the
daytime, tho sometimes this oc-
ours. Usually they start about seven
thirty o'clock at night and come about
every five minutes until midnight
when they cease.
Sometimes they will not be heard
for an hour at time. The children
have been watched and it is practically
certain the noise is not made by them.
Three policemen and representatives
of the newspapers will visit the house
in an effort to solve the mystery.

| Des Moines, Jan. 1S.-The supreme
court in deciding the LATE Young case
went even further than had been ex-
pected, at least by the attorney gener
al, who had charge OF the case The
decision was one Of the most sweepinl;
| in which a state official was ever in
volved.
| In effect the court decided that tina
| bills allowed by George Dobson as Sec
rotary OF state were overcharges, that
both Dobson and Young knew the law
and that they must have known that
they were violating the law, that there
was no possible excuse for the taking
Of thousands Of dollars from the state
under such pretenses. that the money
still belongs to the public tho wrong
fully transferred to another, and that
there is no estoppel because one of
fetal audited bills which he knew to be
wrong.
1t will stand everlastingly to the
rotary of the state executive council.
that he uncovered these transactions
and kept at 1t until the state is now
in a position to get back the wrong
fully converted money. Mr.. Dawson
had great deal more to do with it
than appears on the surface. It will be
recalled that 1t was after an examina-
ton by an expert, Mr.. Skinner. that
the facts Of the overcharge were dis
closed. Mr.. Skinner counseled with
Mr.. Dawson at all times and in fact
they worked together. 1t will also be
remembered that 1t was Governor
Shaw who sought to discredit the Skin
ner report and finally forced him to
amend the report In many ways, but
not until the facts became public, and
these facts formed the basis of the
suit.
rection Of the state executive council.
In the lower court the judge virtually
held that the payment of the bills pre-
sented was an estoppel from recovery.
This view is held to be erroneous by
the supreme court. The supreme court
decision shows, in fact, that the trial in
the lower court was good deal Of a
farce and that the court apparently
was biased against the state. The case
now goes back to the court for sec
ond trial on its merits 1t is more pro-
