Sioux City, Sept. 24.-For the first
time in forty-one years the large brick
and tile plant of A. M. Holman & Bro,
of Sergeant Bluff, has quit operating
during the brick making season
Last week the doors of the plant
We're closed and fifty-tive men thrown
out of employment. According to A.
M. Holman, the plant will remain
closed for at least year and business
there may be entirely discontinued
unless the coming hearing before the
railroad commissioners regarding all
legged rebating and discrimination
against the Holman company results
favorably for that concern.
Not anywhere near enough brick has
been sold this year to pay the run
ming expenses of the plant, says Mr..
Holman. and the yards are now piled
full o9 the finished product for which
there is no market.
Mr.. Holman is unwilling to say just
what the loss by closing means in dol
lars and cents. but states that he would
lose $4,000 this year. The brick bus
mess is in such a state at Sergeant
Bluff at the present time" said Mr..
Holman, that would like to dispose
of my interests but can not find a buy
err for a plant whose product has no
market
The closing was not caused by the
inferior quality of the material. but
because of conditions that are said to
exist that make 1t considerably more
expensive to handle brick thru Sioux
City from Sergeant Bluff.
In the complaint filed before the
state board of railway commissioners
two months ago, Holman e. Bro. stated
that they had to pay according to the
Iowa distance tariff for brick trans
ferred thru Sioux City They allege
that Sioux City plants. including the
North Riverside works, shipped to
Sioux City on a switching charge.
which made 1t cost practically $150 per
car more for the Holman company.
According to Mr.. Holman. most OF
the companys output goes thru Sioux
City and out over one of the five rail-
roads. In making estimates the addi-
tional charge had to be taken into con-
sideration and as a result the company
has not received even one large bid for
some time.
Announcement that the petition had
been received and filed was received
some time ago from the railroad COM
missioners, but no date has been set
for the hearing.

tee system is the improvement in the
condition of the state farms. The farms
were badly run down and were being
farmed by politicians rather than far
mers. The superfftendents OF the
state institutions being doctors mostly
and uninformed on farming, were help
less and the men given the jobs of SUI
perintendents of the farms were more
intent on getting their wages than in
making the farms pay. There is now
40 better corn or grain raised dn the
state than on the state farms and In
every instance the state farm is now a
model in the community In which 1t is
located.
The state board of railroad commits
sioners have passed a resolution to
send Chairman Eaton and Secretary
Lewis to the national meeting OF rail-
road commissioners In Washington
Oct. 6. Chairman Eaton is a mem
Der of the committee on car shortages
and car distribution and Secretary
Lewis is a member of the committee
on statistics.
For the first time in the history of
Iowa, it is believed, n political state
convention will meet at night instead
OF in the forenoon or afternoon. 1t is
because of the lack of business for
the democratic state convention Of to-
day to transact that it will meet to-
night at the Auditorium, and the con-
vention will be transformed, as mat
ter of fact, into a political rally.
Hon. w. III. c. Jaques of Ottumwa,
has no opposition for nomination as
supreme judge, the sole business be-
fore the convention, and that matter
can be disposed of in a very few mo-
rnents after the convention meets this
evening. He was the man who received
the third largest number of votes at
the recent state convention of his party
In Sioux City, being then candidate
for a supreme judge nomination. SO
that no opposition to him has devel-
oped.
John A. Atwood, of Kansas, will
speak before the democratic state con-.
vention tonight. He Is said to be one
of the finest orators among all of the
democratic spell binders. He is
member of the democratic national
committee from Kansas and Is spoken
of as the ingalls, Of Kansas.

most young men. he loved a young
lady and the report at the time was
that he expected to marry her in
short time.
But when the trouble came on Baker
was taken to Independence, and then
returned to the county as an incur
able, the intended wife fell In love with
another, was married, and is now the
happy mother of a large family of
children. About the first inquiry that
was made was concerning this girl,
and when he was informed that she
was long ago married and was now ait
the head of a happy home. his heart
was broken. And then he inquired
about his parents, and death had tax
en- them away Friends of his early
manhood had scattered and gone.
Many who knew Baker before the
trouble. came to him have called to
see him. but he has no recollection of
them, other than their names.
