Night Session Held at Sibiey Thurs

Special to Times Republican.
Sibley, March 23.-The noted Rocker

DAMN, L. w. Kuester F.. w. Goster,

that it was very hard to get a jury in
the former trial Adjournment was
taken on Wednesday at $3.50 p. m. and
nothing much was done until Thursday
at p. m. on the arrival of Dora
Schroeder, who was Immediately put
on the stand. A night session of court

time and continued Friday. 1t is ex-
pected that the case will not be fin
isled up the present week The court
room was packed full at the Thurs

ing outside of the doors to hear. A
great interest is manifested in the case.
AS to the outcome of the case there is
great difference of opinion.

Mason City, March ga small me-

beautiful face and worn on the waist
coat of a devoted husband was the in
nocent means of detecting the thief of
seventeen fancy bred Leghorns, the
property of II. L. Fnnegan, a restaur-
ant keeper on Seventh street. The me-
dalton was found in the hen coop
which Mr.. Finnegan has visited to dis
cover If possible, the manner in which
his fowls had escaped. The moment the
medallion was discovered the face was
recognized as the likeness of neigh
Dor woman. During the day Mr.. Fin
negan limited at the loss of his fowls
but at the find which he said partly
compensated him for the loss, in the
hearing of his neighbour. That was all
that was said, and that night, while the
owner slept, the neighbor stole softly
to the coop and replaced the Leghorns.
Mr.. Finnegan insists on retaining, the
medallion as a memento of the affair
and while he will not exhibit it to- his
friends, seemingly enjoys the posses
sior of the property.

Iowa aF'lls, March 23.-While no one
seems willing to affirm or deny the re-
port. it is understood on good author
ity that the cases in the district court
of the State VS.. Charles L. Hancock
and B. b. Bliss have been dismissed.
MIR. Hancock lives at Dubuque. and
was president of the Iowa Lllooet
Gold Mining company when 1t went to
pieces a few years ago. Mr.. Bliss was
secretary of the same company, and
lives in this city. Indictments were
returned against both of these officials,
and it is now stated that ain error in
the drawing of the indictments has re-
suited In its being quashed. 1t is also
stated that on account of the statute
of limitations, no other indictment can
be returned against these men, and the
action therefore comes to an end The
misdeeds with which they are said to
have been charged in the indictments,
were committed some four years ago.

Fort Dodge, March 23.-It is an
nounced by trainmen on lines center
ing in this city, that upon July 4. when
the new 2-cent railroad fare bill goes
into effect the Northwestern branch
running thru this city from Des Moines
to Minneapolis will have fewer passen-
ger trains than now. The Minneapolis
Des ,Moines flyer will be abandoned,
while trains Nos IL and will be made
accommodation trains and carry freight,
They are the Des Moines passengers
running between Eagle Grove and Des
Moines. The change, of course, is en-
'tirely contingent upon falling off in
passenger fares due to the 2-cent rate.
Trainmen, however, have no doubt but
that passenger receipts will show q
falling off under the new rate.
1t Is argued by many that with the
decrease in the rate, there will be a
corresponding increase in the number
of passengers carried, as we'll as in the
distance the people will travel under
the lower date. Old trainmen, however,
say the lowering of the passenger
rates will lower the receipts; that per-
sons who have ridden upon passes will
not ride q tenth as much when they
have to pay fare, while those who have
paid all the time will do no more trav-
cling than before. Travelling men have
been paying but 2 cents, anyway, 80
that there is no reduction in fare for
them.
The extra amount Of travelling that
will. be done by persons who have paid
8 cents, say those who are posted, will
not by any means make up for the cut
ting OF Of cent mile in the rate
Hence it is practically certain, say
trainmen, that the Minneapolis-De
Moines flyer will be abandoned and ac-
commodation trains made of at least
two passengers now running thru this
city.
Similar changes will occur on all
Iowa divisions. 1t has already been an
nounced that the Illinois Central will
abandon several trains and it is also
possible that this road will make ac-
commodation trains OF several passen-
ger trains.

Five Out of Eight FIourshine Socie-

Special to Times Republican.

Baptist church. large and we'll built
frame structure, erected twenty five
years ago. is being torn down by Mr.
Frank Clarkson, who purchased the
property, and who will erect a fine res
idenc5 upon the grounds
This is the fifth church in Ida Grove
to be abandoned in the last few years.
The old Free Methodist church was
a carpenter shop. The Unitarians have
sold their property to Mr.. Reed, who
now leases 1t for club room. The
Friends church disbanded, and the
church building is much dilapidated
and used by the Free Methodists for
an occasional meeting. The Episco-
palian organization has had no regular
minister for years. and parties are try
ing to buy the building to tear it down
for the material in 1t.
AS these five organizations have dis
integrated and practically withdrawn
from the field, about thirty of their
membership have united with the three
surviving churches, the Methodist,
Church of God. and Presbyterian. Ten
years ago these eight churches all had
regular pastors and were well attended,
the old Friends church having the
largest congregation in town. Our
present organizations have had very
unusual growth within the past year.
The Presbyterians have had about
thirty accessions. and have improved
their property, expanding about $4,000
within the year. The Church of God
have doubled their membership, and
the Methodists have added over sixty
members this year. This growth has
come from conversions and letters, and
is not directly due to the disbanding Of
the other congregations.
