REAL ESTATE
MEN KICKING

Real estate dealers are uniting
to combat Mayor Pratt's opposi-
ton to the city buying water main
extensions for new additions, ex-
pressed through the vetoing of
such an ordinance yesterday. A
number of them came to the city
hall today to demonstrate, but the
mayor was out with the Governor
Johnson party and will not be
back on the job until Monday. He
took some time to think over the
ordinance and as he is convinced
that the plan is wrong, 1t is not
likely that he will recede from his
position.

A MILLION DOLLARS LOST
One Days Delay in Arrival of Liners
Costs Importers Large Sums

New YORK, Aug. 7.-One little mes
sage from Washington closed dramatic
scene at the, custom house Thursday, o
scene which reached its climax with the
passage of the tariff bill and the signing
of it by the president. At $50 o'clock
Collector Loeb was called to the tele-
phone. Washington wanted to talk to
him. Customs brokers were crowding
his room, the corridors and cashiers Of
fee, and more brokers were swarming
about the street doors, which had been
closed against them at 4:30 o'clock. III
the treasury department gave permission
to keep open until midnight the 5000
tons of freight on the Hamburg Ameri-
can linerPennsylvania might come under
the Dingley act and the importers thus
save about $4,000. That was the stake
But, on the other hand, other dealers
saved large sums when the tariff on their
goods is lower.
Collector Loeb sauntered leisurely into
the room. He at least was not excited
I'VE close, he said laconically.
There was q brief stiffness, and then
the brokers though disappointed, cheered
Word was sent to the brokers outside,
and they cheered, and in ten minutes
the massive building in lower Broadway
where the duties on machandise are col
lected was tenanted only by the usual
force of night watchmen.
The brokers had everything ready for
night wait for the Pennsylvania The
Battery Park National bank, with which
most of them do business, had arranged
for night session, which was declared
off when the final word came from
Washington.
The Dingley act went into effect on
the day it was passed and signed, July
%. 1897, and applied to all entries made
on that day. 1t was Saturday, and
three large steamers came in, the Paris,
the Umbria and LaTouraine The Paris
came early, and the duties were paid,
but the assessed duties on the cargo,
nearly $3.50, 900, had to be under the
then new law.
1t was estimated that importers lost
81 100000 by the failure of the three
boats to get in the day before.

A SPLENDID PROGRAM
A Fine Week Promised By The Inter-
state Live Stock Fair At Sioux City


The Interstate Live Stock Fair, which
this year will be held at Woodland Park,
Sioux City, the week of September 20th
unquestionably furnishes the best pro-
gramme of its history. 1t is well bal
anced programme, one in which every
person may find something of enjoy
ment The programme more than full
fills the title of the fair, for the exhibit
of live stock includes the blue bloods
from the breeding farms of half dozen
commonwealth. While live stock and
agriculture are first in importance in
this programme, the racing and amuse-
ments have been given great deal of
attention, as also have the departments
of fine art and household, pantry and
kitchen, children, machinery, dairy
products and implements, plants, flow
ers and fruit.
The star racing event of the week
will be the contest of speed between
Dan Patch, 1.55, the greatest PAGER the
world has ever known, and his great
son, Minos Heir, 1854, the fifth horse
in the world to pace mile in two min
utes.
A 22-car discus well be an attraction
on the Midway. The free vaudeville
attractions in front of the grand stand
will be the best that money can buy.
The fair will be clean in every respect.
No immoral shows will be allowed and
the sale of intoxicating liquors on the
grounds will not be tolerated.

UGLY RuMoRs UNFouNDED
But Little Truth In Stories Concerning
Three Audubon Boys

The sins of the transgressor will find
him out every time and, incidentally,
some more will be added TO the alleged
evil doings of those unfortunate enough
to get blacklisted socially in the com
munity in which they are known That
this is true is demonstrated in the case
of Bert Freeman, Jesse Parsons and
Berle Carper, three young fellows well
known about Audubon, who left
here a couple of weeks ago, the former
under n cloud for the commission of
minor otfense. Since the trio left town
all sorts of rumors have been in circula-
ton regarding certain escapades in which
they We're alleged to have participated
in towns ut which they have stopped.
The rumor which was most industri-
ously circulated was To the effect that
they had done up man in IA saloon
brawl ut Walnut and that their victim
had died from the effects of the treat
ment he had received during the melee.
This rumor was so persistent that an in
vestigation was made by this office and
the mayor of Walnut communicated
WIN ny "Htll ~ "tiN
that the boys had engaged in mixup
ut Walnut and man residing near Kim
ballton had been rather rudely assaulted
in n row which started during game
of cards in u saloon. The Kimballton
man and Carper were placed under ar
rest and fined for disorderly conduct,
the fines being paid and the parties per
mitted to go their different ways. Car
per is now at work in town not far
from Walnut, so the mayor informed us,
and is making good.
The Walnut authorities, however,
would like to get Freeman and Parsons
into their hands, for il il alleged they
sawed off the paddock from the door of
the lookup and permitted prisoner to
escape. As this is an indictable offense
the boys will in all probability keep
away from Walnut as well rs their
home town for some time TO come in
the hope that the affair will blow over
without any action being taken against
them. From reliable source IL IL learn.
ed that Parsons has secured work with
painter in an Iowa town and is straight
ening out and making an effort to quit
the strenuous life altogether. Freemans
whereabouts are unknown.

poLLrvER WELCOMED HOME

With Central avenue, the principal
street of Fort Dodge ablaze with mean
descent and arc lights and the buildings
gaily decorated with flags and bunting,
Senator Jonathan +. Dolliver was es-
corted with great enthusiasm from his
home to the public square Tuesday
evening, where grand demonstration
and public reception i'm honor of his
work and homecoming had been arrang-
ed by his fellow townsmen without re-
gard to political affiliations.
Senator Deliver was greeted with a
deafening shout rs he mounted the plat
form and was publicly welcomed home
by crowd of $4,000 friends and neigh
bors. Never was such demonstration
accorded him on u previous home coming,
though il has grown To be an annual af-
fair. .r
Among those in the crowd and on the
platform We're many distinguished
lowans, friends from many parts of the
state being present TO greet the senator
on this his most suspicious homecoming
The unknown out of town delegation was
larger than was anticipated
Owing To the uncertainty which sur
rounded the return of Senator Dolliver
the plans for his reception were neces-
sarily limited and simple Enthusiasm
made the gathering more impressive and
enthusiasm prevailed.
