Despondent over his failure to make a

Dallas Center. Ia, as his home, attempted
to commit suicide at the KEEL hotel last
evening by the laudanum route. He said
he drank the contents Of a one ounce bottle
Of the drug and would probably have sue
ceeded in his attempt had he not become so
sick as to attract the attention of one Of
the employees OF the hotel. who heard him
vomiting in his room.
The hotel management summoned DR..
Cole, who gave Stewart an emetic and pre-
vented the drug getting in it's work. After
DR.. Cole had brought the would-be suicide
out OF danger the latter was taken to police
headquarters, where later in the night he
was attended by City Physician Tubbs.

Advertise Iowa and populate the state.
That Is TO be the way which will stop the
movement from iowa out to the newer

state that will more than offset all the

Simpson of the state department of agricul-
ture is ollowe In his annual report

presented this thought. 1t is notorious
that Iowa's rural population has been
steadily decreasing, Mr.. Simpson would by
advertising Iowa resources and opportuni-
ties not only attract desirable citizens, but
prevent migration to other states. He
urged an appropriation for commencing
this work and carrying It on thoroughly
and systematically. The state institute APP
plauded his proposals.
Agricultural education has made great
progress in Iowa under the appropriations
made for extension work and short
courses are now held in a good many
counties of the state. The last year eighty
five counties of the state held farmers

BOYS CONFESSED
TO THREE RODBtRIES
The Three Youthful Burglars Who
Robbed Baptist Church Also
Robbed u Store,

At one fell swoop yesterday, Chief
OF Police Thos. McMillin arrested the
thieves who a week ago today robbed
the Wilson rooming house on the
Highlands of $50 in cash, who Satur-
day night broke into the Anderson
grocery on the Highlands and stole
S1.05 and Sunday stole the contribu-
ton box at the Baptist church con-
tanning $1S. The thieves are the
small sons of well to do and respec-
table families living on the Highlands
and a small boy who is making his
home on Goal avenue.
The boys confessed TO the robberies
this morning after a severe sweating
and told the chief of police what they
did with their Ill gotten spoils. The
bought fancy lunches at the Alvarado
and dined out at other places down
town quite frequently, purchased a IS
skating rink ticket, took in the pic
ture shows and bought a bracelet at
the Harvey curio store. When arrest
ed one of them had 50, all that was
left of the forty odd dollars taken.
The parents of the boys reimbursed
the church for the money stolen there
and 1t Is understood that the money
taken from the Anderson grocery
store and the Wilson rooming house
will be returned also. The boys were
given a severe lecture by the chief of
police and then turned over to the

MANY CANTALOUPES

Growers Flood Local Grocery Stores
With Products This Morning.

Owing to the fact that many of the
cantaloupe growers of the territory
send their products to Albuquerque.
the local market was flooded this
morning with the melons and prices
dropped considerably as a result AL
the melons are of good variety.
Cantaloupes from various parts of
the territory have been coming IN
during the past few days and local
growers added to the influx this
morning with dozens OF crates. AS a
result the grocers. wholesalers and
fruit dealers stocked up and prices
went down.
C. E. Gleckler, who owns a large
tract of land west of the city. brought
in some especially fine melons this
morning and was surprised to find
the market overstocked.
"The growers of the territory ought
to get in communication with each
other" he said this morning. land
arrange a method by which each
would be assured of a good market
Instead OF all shipping to one market
some of the shipments should be
made outside the territory where
cantaloupes are scarcer and where
they command better price. That
would even things, and every grower
would then be assured of a market
and good prices"

.HIGHlANDERS ARE
ANGRY At COUNCIL
They Want the Streets Improved and
Demand Resignation of Street
Commissioner

Mayor Lester and the Democratic
members of the city council evidently
stirred up hornets nest at the last
meeting when they decided to assess
all street improvements against prop
erty in the face of the fact that $4,000
of the peoples money had been spent
on the streets of the Fourth ward.
Twenty-Five irate property owners
of the Second ward met at the resi-
dence of F. C. Pratt, 419 East Iron
avenue, last night and gave vent to
their injured feelings very freely. The
action of Alderman Learnard, who
protested the proposed action of the
city council, was endorsed and Alder
man Wroths street committee report
was given severe arraignment.
Street Commissioner Tierney was also
criticised very severely and it was
recommended by the meeting that his
resignation be accepted by the coun-
cil The morning paper made a mis-
take in reporting the meeting with
reference to this action. 1t was the
resignation OF Martin Tierney that the
meeting recommended and not the
resignation of DR.. Wroth as chairman
of the street committee. However. the
fact that nearly all street improve
ment since the coming OF the present
Democratic administration has been
made In the Fourth ward, which is
DR.. Wroth's ward, was the subject of
considerable discussion.
There hasn't been a dollars worth
of work done In the Second ward
since 1898, except the filling of few
holes here and there" said one prop
erty owner. I'VE are not meeting for
the purpose OF devising some means
to save Iron avenue. It's the whole
Highlands that we propose to i'm
prove. And everybody on the High
lands knows that II will be easy
enough to turn the water on Iron
avenue. We are opposed to Street
Commissioner Tierney because we do
not believe that he Is capable"
The meeting appointed several
committees and a mass meeting of
the Highlands will be failed, the time
the Highlands will be called, the time
olutions will be adopted, according TO
plans and the city council will be ask
ed TO act or get out.

NEW YORK BROKERAGE
FIRM ANNOUNCES
SUSPENSION
o. A. Brown and Company.
One of the Largest Hous-
eS Is Badly
Tangled.
HAD LITTLE EFFECT
ON MARKET PRICES
Affairs of the Company Are Mixed
up and Suspension Was NeCeS-
Sary to Strdighten Them Out.
Figures Are Expected
to be Large.

New York, Aug. 25.-A. Q. Brown
and company, one of the largest brok-
erage houses in this city, announced
their suspension on the stock ex-
change this afternoon. Transactions
of the firm in the remarkable stock
market last Saturday have been un-
der the investigation by the authori-
ties of the stock exchange and today
1t was announced that transactions
had been made for the firms account
under the rule which provides that
where a firm is unable to deliver
stock sold another broker. the pur-
chaser may buy in the stock ex-
change at the expense of the firm
waiting delivery.
ID. w. Noel has been named assig-
nee for A. o. Brown and company.
No statement of the assets and La
bilities is available as yet but 1t Is
presumed that the figures will be very
large as the firm was generally sup
posed to have had a heavy interest In
the market. A representative of the
firm stated that its affairs are badly
tangled and 1t was felt necessary to
suspend to straighten them out.
The effect of the suspension upon
the stock market was not so violent
as anticipated by those who knew
how large an amount of stocks Brown
and company owed other firms. At
the height of the boom of the market
several years ago, A. O. Brown and
company did enormous business, said
to have been larger than any other
brokerage house at one time. Theirs
were five branch offices in this city,
and many others throughout the coun
try, but after the panic of last fall
many out of town branches closed.
f. F. Buchanan, a member of the
suspended firm, today denied that
heavy operations on the stock ex-
change Saturday were for Thomas w.
Lawson of Boston.
