GAS COMPANY WINS in COURT.
Eagle Grove Restrained From Enfore,
ing Ordinance Ordering Reduction.

Eagle Grove Restrained From Enforce
ing Ordinance Ordering Reduction.
Special to Times-Republican.
Eagle Grove, May 26.-The Citizens
Light, Heat and Power Company, Of
this city, has just won a case in court
over the city of Eagle Grove. Not long
ago the city council passed an ord
nance reducing the price of gas from
s1.50 per 1000 feet, to SIPS. The gas
company went into court. and asked
that the city be restrained from en-
forcing the ordinance, and the district
court has granted it a temporary in
junction.
The gas company claims it can not
furnish gas at s1.25. The late decision
of the supreme court in Iowa no doubt
had much to do with the decision of
the district court in this case. This de-
cision was in effect that where the
council has set the price of gas too
low, and objection is made, it must be
proven that the old rate was too high,
or in other words. if the new rate is
too low, the council shall be restrained
from enforcing, pending an investiga-
ton. 1t Is not known just what course
will o be pursued by the city.

Slightest Injury Resulted from

Most Positive WayNIngredients Of
CUTICURA PROVEN PURE

A New York friend OF C%utioura writes
the following interesting letter:
"My three year old son md heir,

room and located a box OF graham
crackers and q box Of Cuticura ONT
ment.
when a search was made for the
box, it was found empty and the kid
admitted that he had eaten the con-
tents Of the entire box spread on the
crackers. 1t cured him OF n bad cold

No nor conclusive evidence than
the above could be offered that every
ingredient Of Cuticura Ointment is alb
solutely pure. sweet and harmless. II
it may be safely eaten by a young child,

be expected to attend its application to
even the tenderest skin or youngest

torturing and disfiguring humors OF the

they have thus ~alleviated among the

OVER ROAD.
Tama County Supervisors Not LikeI
To Reconsider Appraisement.

~" SSN'Sy SdPST ViSOES MOT Likely
To Reconsider Appraisement.
Special to Times-Republican.
Traer, May 26.-The opening of he
John NJ. Beckett school road, south Of
town, is to be the cause of considerable
litigation, unless the board of supervis-
ors reconsider the appraisement which
it is not likely to do. The road is to be
forty feet in width and two miles long,
extending from j. M. Buckets to the
Stormy Point schoolhouse. The matter
has been under controversy for several
years, and was recently ordered es-
tablished by the supervisors, the Perry
township electors having voted to open
it. 1t requires about seven acres of
land, and the farmers along the way
ask almost an average of $3.50 per acre.
Appraisers were appointed to appraise
the land, and appraised it at a con-
siderably lower figure, and the board
of supervisors will no doubt act largely
on the appraisers figures. Counsel has
been employed by several of the claim
ants, and they will appear before the
board at their June session. If they
don't give them more money for the
land, they will take the matter into the
district court.

TWO YEARS IN ADVANCE
Petition of Consent Long Be-
fors Existing Ono Expires-Anti.
Saloon League Decides on New Plan
of Attack and Will File Withdrawal.
-Evade Date Technicality.

Special to Times-Republican,
Council Bluffs, May 26.-The anti
saloon league have decided upon a
new plan of attacking the general con-
sent petition in circulation here, to
which nearly all the required $500 sig
natures nave been secured. The plan
of the league is to secure withdrawals
from the consent petition. r.. c.. F.
Chambers, district manager of the
Iowa anti-saloon league has charge of
the work. Mr.. Chambers says that no
effort will be made to circulate a pro-
test or petition asking that the state
ment of consent be revoked. Effort will
be confined, he said, to the circulation
of statement of withdrawal. 1t is the
intention to file statements of with
drawal as soon as the consent petit
ton is filed with the county auditor.
With this in view the statements of
withdrawal are written with a blank
space for insertion of the late when
the statement. of consent is filed. the
latter being referred to as "the petit
ton of general consent filed on the
I" day of -, 1909"
1t is claimed by those who have
been circulating the consent petition
that those who sign it can not with
draw their names, and that the sole
recourse of those opposed to the state
ment is contest before the county
board of supervisors and subsequent
appeal to the district court, or the cir
culation of a petition of revocation OF
the statement of consent. Mr.. Cham
bers contends that any person who has
signed the petition can withdraw his
name by signing a statement of with
drawal. Interest turnout the state in
the success of the plan adopted by the
saloon men here in preparing a con-
sent petition two years in advance of
the expiration of the consent petition
in force, is manifested in many in
quiries being received concerning the
progress of the movement and of pub
lie sentiment On the matter. The rap
idity with which the petition has been
signed indicates that the circulators
will have no trouble in securing the
requisite number with several hun
dred to spare.

Special to Times-Republican.
Council Bluffs, May 26.-A snug leg
acy of $4,000 in cash besides consider
able real estate awaits Mrs. Julia Mar
tina Sanford, who can not be found by
the executors, Naomi Dewey and
Emily D. Rishton of this city. For
twenty years not a word has been
heard from Mrs. Sanford, who was
the married daughter of Mrs. Anna E.
Whitaker. The last letter came from
Ell Paso, Tex, and in it Mrs. Sanford
asked that no more mail be SEN to
her there as she and her husband were
the score of years hat have elapsed
since then the relatives have had no
trace of her. About six years ago Mrs.
Whitaker died, leaving half Of her
property to Mrs. Sanford. All efforts
to find the missing heir have been I'M
avaiiinS. Inquiries IN Ell Paso have
proved fruitless, in that no one has
been found who knew the woman or
her husband. Likewise no information
could be secured az to the place in
South America where they intended
going. 1t is likely now that the state
department at Washington will be
asked to find Mrs. Sanford by sending
inquiries to the consulates in the way
ious South American ports. Each year
the executors make report OF their
stewardship, the sixth report having
just been filed. The real estate is rap
idly increasing In value and has more
than doubled since the decease of Mrs.
Whitaker.
