From a staff Correspondent

DIES MONIES, July 9.-(Specia l.)-Secre-
tary of State w. c. Hayward has consulted
with Senator Thomas Cheshire, attorney
for the Board of Supervisors, to see II the
board will not consent to certify the re-
turns from Dallas county on all offices eX-
cept that of congressman. The Injunction
of Judge Gamble restraints the Dallas board
from recounting the ballots, but does not
restrain the board from certifying the re-
turns as they are II It so chooses. The
board as q matter Of fact had decided not
to certify the returns till after the court
proceedings started by Congressman Hull
had been completed.
Senator Cheshire has taken the matter
under Amusement and may consult the
board II he is satisfied the matter can
be done. There is some question in regard
to 1t certifying only part of the returns
and there Is some question whether GER
tifying part of the returns would not
prejudice the contest between Hull and
Prouty.
While 1t has been known that there was
no restraint on the Dallas Board of Super
visors from certifying the returns. If it so
elected. and though it is known that the
board has decided not to certify the re-
turns till after the court proceedings, there
has been talk on the part of Dallas county
people of bringing injunction proceedings
to prevent the board from certifying such
proceedings till after the hearing by the
courts on the certiorari proceedings next
September.
It is understood that the executive coun-
ell has not definitely determined what ac-
ton to take, but that it is in the minds of
the mer-oers that If the returns from
Dallas are not in by October 10, the last
H. g. Al - a4z4- - al
the nominations to the county auditors,
the council will advise that the nominations
be certified to the county auditors anyway,
es it is known that the Dallas county vote
cannot change the results on state officers.
Courts Findings to omaha.
The military court which tried Major
George and which was ~reconvened by orders
OF the War department finished its work
in one day and mailed the report to Omaha
to the department commander. When a
military court is reconvened it is either for
the purpose of having 1t correct an error or
else to ask it to reconsider it's findings. At
the conclusion of the first trial things
looked favorable for Major George. When
the court was reconvened 1t was thought
to look somewhat bad for him. The fact
that the court finished it's work on recon-
vening in such a short time makes army
men believe that 1t was either for correct
ing an error or else the court refused to
reconsider it's findings. The court will re-
main at Fort Des Moines till the results o.
the trial are announced, which will be in
a few days.
Tranic Agreement with Milwaukee.
A traffic arrangement is about to be made
by the Des Moines, Iowa Falls & Northern
with the Chicago, Milwaukee and st. Paul.
Fred c. Macmillan. general manager OF the
Des Moines, Iowa Falls and Northern, has
gone to Chicago to consult with the Off
Gals of the other road for that purpose.
The Des Moines, Iowa Falls & Northern
Is now completed to Mason City, and it is
expected to have cars running soon from
Des Moines to Mason City. The line
is 260 miles long and is forty miles shorter
between this city and st. Paul by using
the Milwaukee part of the way than any
other route. 1t is the expectation to have
through trains running from St. Paul to
Kansas City and st. Paul to st. Louis
through Des Moines shortly on the traffic
arrangement with the Milwaukee. The Des
Moines, Iowa Falls & Northern will move
Its head offices to Des Moines August l.
SRnitarium Too Small.
During the three months that the State
tuberculosis Sanltarlum at Iowa City mas
been open there have been I76 applications
for admission and sixty persons admitted.
or the sixty admitted, fourteen were found
to be unsuitable patients in an institution
for i~ncipient cases only, and were dis
charged. There have been forty-six under
treatment, therefore, since the sanitarium
opened, and of these one has been dis
charged cured and eight improved to such
an extent that they were allowed to return
to their homes. The large number that
have been turned away because of the lack
of capacity of the institution and because
they were in the advanced stages is leading
the State Board OF Control to recommend
the erection of an institution for persons in
the advanced stages, and also for increas-
ing the capacity of the present institution,
or else erecting others in other parts Of the
! state.
