SWEEPING CUT MADE.
Milwaukee and Burlington Roads Re
trenck1ina on Immense Scale.

trenCnlnS OF Immense 0CdIo.
Special to Times Republican.
Ottumwa, May 11.-Twenty-seven
! Milwaukee brakemen Of this city, are
affected by the lay-off until June l.
They are not alone in their plight, as
the car department has received or
ders to reduce the force 10 per cent,
which will mean the laying off of three
men.
The one palliating feature lies in
the fact that it is not permanent and
some consolation may be derived by
men from the fact that they are not
alone in the sweeping cut ordered by
the management of the road. A more
effective reduction has been ordered
by the powers that be and all of the
extra gangs have been ordered out of
commission. This will be a very
sweeping cut and 800 men will be
affected by it. The order to reduce
the forces has been put into effect
and within a few days the entire num-
Der affected by the cut will be idle.
The extra gangs concerned in the
retrenchment are of the entire Kansas
City division and includes the steel
gang put on between Ottumwa and
Laredo the latter part of March.
While the order is indefinite as to
the length of time the men will be off,
it is said on reliable authority among
the officials that July / will see its
termination.

proprietors of tive show, stated that
this wolf was captured In Alaska,
when the show was In that country

is to be erected for three times that
amount. 1t will be five stories and
will be used for offices with mercan-
tile establishments on the ground floor
and the K. C. hall on the whole of the
fifth. 1t is the intention to build it OF
white tile, equip it with all modern
conveniences and make it an ornament
for the city for all time. The plan is to
rent the ground floor to the new bank
and some mercantile establishment,
equip the second, third and fourth
flours with fine offices singly or in suits
and use the fifth floor for the K. c.
hall. If the plan is consuramated the
Improvement will be begun this year.

purchased for the erection on South
Superior avenue, Of an elegant new
apartment house. The building will
stand on the banks of Willow Creek,
which is at this point fifty feet below

Iowa Falls, May 11.-This city, and
probably many others in the state,
is without a legally commissioned
health officer. Under the new munich
pal daw giving the mayor the bulk Of
the appointive power of subordinate
officers. Mayor Bryson named DIR. w.
NJ. Morton as health officer, but under
a ruling just made by the state board
Of health, this appointment of the
mayors is not according to Hoyle,"
so to speak. The ruling states that
the health officer Of a city must be
appointed by the local board Of health.
The trouble will probably be remedied
at the next meeting of the local board,
by appointing DIR. Morton, thus making
his position legal Another interest
ing point is settled by the same rul-
ing, which states that an osteopath
cannot serve as a health officer unless
such osteopath is a recognized prac-
titioner Of medicine.

Des Moines, May 1.-THE state SUI
perintendent Of public instruction yes
terday decided that boy who lives
with relatives in a town, altho his par
ents or natural guardian resides out OF
the city, does not have to pay tuition
at the public schools.
1t is believed by school men that this
decision will be altogether the most far
reaching and important during the ao-
ministration of the office Of Superin-
tenent Riggs.
The case was that of r. L. Todd at
Ida Grove and involved the question OF
whether or not young Todd, whose ia
ther lived in the country, and who
boarded with relatives in Ida Grove
while attending the schools, must pay
tuition. The board of directors decided
that he should pay tuition. The county
superintendent reversed the board. The
state superintendent sustains the coun-
ty superintendent i
The state superintendent holds that
young Todd is actually resident of the
Ida Grove school district tho his nat
ural guardian resides in Silver Creek
township in the county.
The case may get into the courts.

Mason City, May 11.-News from
England, where she is at present, states
thru the country as one of the great
est soprano singers of her day, and at
one time resident Of Iowa, stands a
good chance of becoming an heiress.
The story is that If the countess of
Essex would introduce Lady Muck into
English society, the earl of Essex
would inherit the Meux millions; but
the countess says she would rather
starve, and for that reason the Meux
millions are liable to go to Miss Yaw.
Between the countess of Essex, who
was the lovely Miss Adele Grant of
New York City. and Lady Meux there
was for while most happy relations.
But as time went on a feeling of an
tipathy arose between them which the
tact Of Lord Essex cannot breach
Y Anxious for someone on which to
lavish her money, Lady Meux took \
fancy to Miss Yaw, whose top note is
as famous in Europe as America, and
while the wife of the earl of Essex
was trying to make her fortune by
running a laundry in London. Miss
Yaw was wearing the finest diamond
necklace seen in Paris and appearing
every week in wonderful new gown.
Miss Yaw told her American and Ma
son City friends that she IS not averse
to the Meux money, tho it is tainted
with beer, the founder of the fortune
being a brewer.
Miss Yaw is now in Paris, where
Lady Meux has followed her, and at
frequent intervals is replenishing her
bank account

Des Moines, May 11.-Lamont Fred
ericks, the negro accused of the brutal
assault on Mrs. w. HI. Riser, in
which she nearly met her death, will
soon be released from the Polk county
Jail. Such is the rumor around the
court house at the present, resulting
from the inability Of the grand jury to
get corroborating evidence which
would justify returning an indictment
against the man.
AT the present time only one witness
has testified positively that Freder-
icks is the man, and that witness is
Mrs. Riser herself But her story is
not sufficient to charge a man with so
serious a crime as the indictment will
name So another witness must be
secured Immediately, or County At

released.
