CFrom a staff Correspondent

DIES MONIES, July 27.-(Special Tele-
acknowledgement OF $500 is asked Of the
Iowa Central railroad by the government
in a petition filed in the federal court by
United States Attorney Temple. The claim
is based on fifteen alleged violations of the
law which prohibits railroads from requir-
ing their employees TO work more than
sixteen hours day without rest.
II is alleged by Mr.. Temple that the
railroad on different dates compelled three
train crews OF five men each to remain
on the road between Oslaloosa and Albert
Lea a total Of twenty hours without rest.
For each one of the alleged violations the
government claims the sum OF $500. The
men are all trainmen which are said to
have been overworked. This is the first
case started for violation Of this federal
law in Iowa.
Executions Against College,
six general executions to satisfy claims
of $50, 46sS7, held against the Still College
of Osteopathy, were served upon the insti-
tuition today and the sale of the college
property under the executions was set for
September IS. 4
II was stated by C. F. Maxwell. attor-
ney for the creditors, that the action taken
by them is merely precautionary and that
n
college will be conducted the same os
usuaSwith DR.. Tayor at its head.
II is likely that at the sheriffs sale the
property will be bought from the corpora
ton by the creditors, who are stockholders
in it and that they will organize another
to continue the work OF instruction in Des
Moines.
Telephone Move Coming.

and c. p. Hall, in charge here for seven
years, will have charge of this department
for a large territory. -
Think Trust is ''Nai1ed."
Producers OF vegetables and farm
products who dispose OF their wares at the
market place are of the almost unanimous
opinion that the commission men of Des
Moines have an ironclad trust for the sole
purpose OF smothering competition and
mulcting the consumer. This sentiment
was expressed by the dealers when inter-
viewed during the market this morning.
Positive proof of the combination is what
the growers claim to have. The three big
commission houses said to be the backbone
Of the trust buy goods in carload quantities
as one concern.
House wives received oratory free OF
charge while they bought potatoes and
farm products at greatly reduced rates
from hucksters on the city hall lawn to-
day. Mayor Hanna and Commissioner
Schramm spoke to a crowd twice as large
as that which scrambled to the farm
wagons during the opening Of the municipal
market place Tuesday.
Mayor Hanna criticised the local food
trust and promised permanent relief in a
market house to be built by the city.

Red Cross Christmas Seals.

A statement denying the recent re-
ports about the abandonment of the
Red Cross Christmas seal sale has
been issued by the National Associa-
lion for the Study and Prevention Of
tuberculosis. The statement declares
that not only will the sale be held
this year, as in the past three years,
but that 1t will be conducted on broad
er lines than ever before. The only
order issued by the postoffice depart
ment which bears on the sale Of Red
Cross seals was sent out on July /,
and prohibits the use Of the mails to
letters and packages bearing non
postage stamps on the face, and also
to any mail bearing seals which re-
semb!e postage stamps, If used either
on the face or back. The Red Cross
seal to be used this year has been
submitted to the postoffice depart
ment and approved, and thus may be
used, but only on the back of letters
and Packages. The design to be used
this year depicts a pretty winter scene
enclosed with heavy red circle. The
corners are white, thus giving the ef-
feet when affixed to a letter or a
package Of round seal.
