Gus in the ranks Of the membership Of

DIES MONIES. Nov. T-(Speclal)-T
state Railroad commission today received
a petition from the mayor and others Of
Lake City asking that steps be taken to
secure on the line OF the Northwestern
from Jewen to Lake City an early morn
ing train eastward. The people OF the
town complain that they have been badly
treated by the railroad company, for they
gave $4,000 worth OF land for shops and
these have been removed, and now they
set poor train service.
Complaint also came from Garden Grove
that the Burlington refuses to keep a
night operator at the station, though there
are important night trains.
The railroad commission has received
word from the National Petroleum assocl-
alton that the Burlington has agreed to
carry oil in less than carload lots from
Keokuk on every day of the week instead
OF on one day of each week. The Rock
Island stii refuses to do so. The com
plant was made some time ago and 1t in
dicated that the trust had advantages over
the Independents in the matter OF handling
the oil business in the state.
MsIIOr is to Speak.
". r. Mellor. of the Nebraska State fair.
is to speak before the Iowa Agricultural
convention December s on The State and
Exposition The program has idst been
issued. 1t also includes addresses by James
Atkinson. editor OF the Homestead; p. c.
Winter, Creston; b. w. Crossley, OF the
Agricultural college. The annual reports
of the officers will be given at that time.
The farmers institute will be held In con-
junction with the Corn Growers associ-
alton meeting and Corn Belt Meat pro-
ducers.
Fear Corn Has Been Injured.
Some Investigations made would indicate
that the early freeze in Iowa last fall
has caused such damage to corn that un-
less the farmers gathered their seed corn
before it was fully ripened and dried there
is fear hat their seed next spring will be
very poor. In fact, some tests already
made show that the corn in the field will
not dc for seed.
Gift to Council Bluffs InstitutIOn.
A conditional gift of $4,000 was made
to the Council Bluffs Young Women's
Christian association as a Thanksgiving
present by J. d. Edmundson. The Des
Moines man stipulates that the hospital
association must raise $3.50 by January 1
to obtain the $4,000. No trouble is an
ticipated in doing this, and with the total
sum all Of the floating debt Of the institu-
ton will be wiped out.

RAILWAK WAIrs uPoN IN

Traction Company sends Letter
AbOut work on Avenue A.
The Omaha q Council Bluffs Street
Railway company stands ready 10 bring
its tracks on Avenue A TO grade as soon
AZ the city gets ready 70 grade the thor
~oughfare to the established grade. This
Information was conveyed in a communi-
cation from the street railway company
to City Clerk A. w. Casady yesterday.
The letter was in answer TO a notice sent
the company by Mr.. CasadY on instruc-
uons from the city council given at the
last meeting Of that body, when the city
attorney and city engineer were directed
to take the necessary steps to compel the
street railway people to bring their tracks
on this th%orouEhfsre TO grade.
The communication from the street rail
was company Is as follows:
Replying to your favor OF cath inst,
beg to say that we are ready TO put our
track on Avenue A 70 the established
grade whenever the balance Of the street
is put to grade. If you will please ad-
wise us when contract is let for grading
balance Of street W. will at once make
preparation TO take care ~ our tracks"
while the grade on Avenue a has been
established there are places where the &C
tual work Of raising or lowering the street
TO the grade has not been done. The let
ter from the street railway company is
construed to mean that the company does
not contemplate changing its tracks until
the city brings the entire street to the
established grade. City Engineer Etnyre
when shown the letter from the street
railway people said:
THE sidewalk grade II thirty inches
lower than the track and II the COMPANY
complied with the ordinance it would sim
ply lower it's tracks to that level. II
would not hurt the track and the com
pany should DO Il without further delay.
In my opinion the street railway people
are merely playing for time. They know
they should comply with the ordinance
which was passed about two years ago,
and II IL does hurt their track they should
construct it so that 1t wouldn't"
As City Solicitor Kimball is at present
in the east IT Is not likely that anything
will be lone in the matter before the reg
ular meeting of the city council on Mon
day, December 8.

Man Accused of Deserving Family for
Another Woman.
william NJ. Crayne and Vera Thompson
who were indicted by the district grand
jury at the present term OF court were
brought back Friday from Hay Springs.
Neb., where they were arrested Wednes-
day. They were brought back In custody
OF Deputy Sheriff Leuch and his wife.
Crayne was indicted on a charge Of wife
desertion, but the indictment against Vera
Thompson charged her with maintaining
iicit relations with Crayne. Mrs. Ethel
Crayne, wife of the man in the case is the
complaining witness in both cases. Crayne's
bord was placed at $500 while that of the
woman was fixed at 1900. As neither
could furnish a bond they were committed
to the county jail.
Mrs. Ethel Crayne complained to the
authorities on October 4, that her husband
had run away with the Thompson woman
vho had not only entirely suppIanted her
in the affections OF her husband. but had
usurped her place IN the household. The
family formerly lived in Kansas City and
came TO Council Bluffs several months ago.
According to Mrs. Crayne's story her hus-
band preceded the family here and the
Thompson woman accompanied him 70
Council Bluffs from Kansas City. After
Mrs. Crayne and the children came here
the Thompson woman. remained a mem
Der Of the household. Mrs. Crayne told
Assistant County Attorney Ross she had
refused for the sake OF her children to
complain against her husband 30 long as
he supported them. She declined to prose
cute him on the charge filed against the
woman. Crayne and Miss Thompson were
living on a ranch at Hay Springs when
arrested. The family lived at 1902 Eighth
avenue.

LONDON. Nov. 27.-The question whether

latest matter TO occupy rival London news

One free trade organ quotes a writer

Ing this contention, got a statement from

which said; Practically speaking, there
is no unemployment at the present time
in New York"
The tariff reformers here contend that
