Des Moines, Set. 12.-Attorneys who
fail to make good in the supreme court
demonstrate that they are hard losers,
as Indicated by the fact that the docket
of the supreme court for the Septem-
Der term. next Tuesday contains notice
Of forty-six applications for rehearing
on cases already decided. Twelve of
these are Polk county cases, for one
reason because it is SO cheap and easy
for lawyers here to make a last des-
crate appeal for Justice to the court. The
list of rehearings is not quite as large
as at one term last year, but larger
than the average for a term. 1t shows
that the number of lawyers who are
willing to go on record as saying the
supreme court went wrong is quite
large.
Among these rehearings asked for
the case OF perhaps greatest statewide
interest is that of the Valley Invest
ment Company VS.. board Of review of
OF the deduction of value of real estate
from valuation of bank stock in which
the court held that such deductions
volving assessments is that of the Lake
Park State Bank VS.. Rood Brothers.
from Dickinson Another very import
ant case involving taxation matters is
that Of the Dubuque and Sioux City
Railroad Company VS.. the treasurer OF
Pottawa ttamie county.
The defendants in the Winneshiek
county case involving the legality of a
<~ do
with the taking names off a petition
and getting them back again, is on for
rehearing.
The inheritance suit Of Finger VS..
Ankin, from Scott county, Involving
$4,000 estate. is to be argued again.
The case of Sawyer VS.. Frank and
Richardson, from Woodbury. county, is
to be argued out before the court
again.
The suit Of Brinsmaid VS.. Iowa State
Travelling Mems Association, is to
have a fresh argument. This is the
case in which Miss Steele won her title
TO the proceeds of an insurance policy
as against the brothers Of her fiance.
There are only three state cases
Edna Leek. Greene county: John c.
Bede, Allamakee county; and one in
volving the Milwaukee railroad, from
Polk county.
The new MEN and Religion For
ward movement appears to have taken
deep hold in Des Moines. 1t bids fair
to prove a great factor in keeping the
city going straight ahead in all good
work.
The ministerial association. which in
Des Moines is quite a factor in all mat
tiers, has formally Endorsed the move
ment and has shown a desire to active
ly cooperate. A largely attended meet
ing was held yesterday. Of members OF
the committee of 100 Of the movement,
with members of the ministerial asso-
citation, and there was an all afternoon
discussion of the methods and means
of advancing the work, and especially
plans laid for continuing the work dur
ing the coming winter.
For instance, the committees already
have list of all places in the city
where ten or more men or boys are en-
ploved and will conduct religious meet
ings at the noon hour or other times, III
many of these places, provided it is SO
desired Committees have already been
at work making investigation of the
pool hal! evil in the city which has be-
come an alarming evil for the rising
generation. The fact is that the pool
halls OF the city have degenerated into
irregular club houses for the depraved
of the city. Committees have also in
vestigated other matters which might
have a retrograde tendency. and work
will be done among the boys and young
men.
The Men and Religion Forward"
movement appears to have sprung up
spontaneously all over the country,
without any special advertising or di
rection, until now ninety cities have
committees organized and ready for
action.
The state railroad commission has
commenced to receive the annual re-
orts Of the railroads for the year ended
June 30 last. These reports will be COM
ing in for the next three months when
all should be on hand. The larger
companies will probably not report I'M
til late in the year. The railroads and
interurbans have to make two separate
reports to the state, one to the railroad
commission and one to the executive
council, covering different fiscal per-
iods, and embodying different queries.
