the largest payment ever made in
the district court of this county to
satisfy a mortgage was made Tues
day when Peter Nelson, farmer liv
ing west of town, and owner of the
old country home of Governor S. B.
Packard, paid into the court $34,14O'

which mortgages were fOreclosed a
year ago. While the redemption is
exercised by Nelson he was compel

redeem the old ones, and the en-
cumbrance under the new arrange
ment is $4,000. The farm comprises
722 acres.

experience. He explained to me how
we could readily get capitalists inter
ested here if the proper steps were
taken. He explained to me how very
easy it was. if properly handled, to
secure a right Of way as well as lib
eral donations, for farmers are be-
ginning to realize the very great ad-
vantage of interurban roads. Get
your road surveyed, estimates made,
right of way secured, and what dona-
tions or subscriptions you can get, or
vote taxes if the law allows taxes to
be voted, and he assured me that he
could readily secure capital to build
these roads, and especially in coun-
try as rich and prosperous as eastern
and central Iowa, and especially
where the road would terminate in
young growing city like Cedar Rap
ids.
"If few enterprising, energetic
business men would take hold of this
matter, feel confident that it would
not be long before we would be en-
joying a system of interurban roads,
and at the same time, the promoters
| would be literally remunerated for
their efforts.
Il know of two or three routes
where the people are most anxious
to have an interurban built and have
already promised to make liberal con
| tributions, and there is no doubt in
my mind but what two or three indie
pendent interurban lines could be
constructed within the next two or
three years, and | am satisfied, from
my Investigations and inquiries, that
money can be had to do it, and fur
Their, that there is no line of improve
ment that will tend so strongly to in
crease the population and wealth of
city as interurban railroads.

LOR|MER MUST

Senate, by Vote of 4S to 20,
Adopts Martin Plan for
Second Inquiry.

WASHINGTON, June 1.-Senstor
Lorimer Of Illinois faces another in
vestigation at the hands of all his col
| leagues. The inquiry will be conducted
| by q subcommittee of the committee Of
privileges and elections, composed OF
four Republicans and four Democrats,
four of whom voted for the conviction
and four for the acquittal of the sen
ator last session. The method selected
is regarded as the latest thing in jury
| trials
IT took seven hours debate to agree
upon the system and it was finally
adopted by vote of as TO 20, being
substituted for the plan urged by Sen
ator La Toilette, OF turning the case
over to five senators who were not
members when the case was voted upon
before and, therefore, were supposed to
be unbiased.
Before the vote was taken, Senator
Bristow, who favored the La Toilette
plan, accused Senator Dillingham; chair.
man Of the election committee, of hav-
ing captulated in the interest OF
Democratic scheme of turning the in
vestigation over 10 committee.
This charge was based upon the fact
that the author of the resolution
adopted was Senator Martin, the Demo
cratic leader. Mr. Bristow also claimed
that the old guard Republicans had
formed an alliance with the Democrats
and that they had placed the - mantle
of Aldrich' upon the shoulders OF
Martin.
That the committee on privileges and
elections had shirked its duty in the
former investigation was charged un-
reservedly by the supporters of the La
Toilette resolution. Senator Lea OIL
Tennessee said he would no more turn
the case over to the elections committee
for another trial than he would sub

ators from both sides of the chamber,
