The experts In real estate values who
are giving testimony in the case in
court in which Des Moines Is seeking
to secure cheaper gas show that as ex-
perts they can differ as widely as ex-
pert doctors. One of them fixed the
value Of the real estate owned by the
gas company at $4,000. while others
place 1t twice as high a. that. The
assessors figures will not be accepted
as absolute evidence. The fact is that
the entire property Of the company has
a value which the court will find diff
cult to estimate, and this may not be

The problem of how to stamp out the
fraternities and sororities from the
public schools of Des Moines is one
which is again puzzling the school au-
thorities. They agree that these secret
societies of young people must not be
tolerated In the public schools. In Des
Moines where the tendency to class dis
tinctions is great the evil is regarded
as serious one and drastic measures
are being taken to prevent organiza-
ton of the societies. The city superin-
tendent Is proposing a pledge not to be-
long to any society but how to frame
this so as to hit the bad ones and not
hurt some others is problem.

ditian and insure that the poor peo-
the Mexican government is permitting
corn to enter the republic duty free.
At the time corn should have been
planted and cultivated, many Of the
farmers of that country We're In the

the order went into effect. many train
loads of corn are moving across the
border from the United States and viii
continue to do 80 until the 3lst of
July when the duty-free order win

is true that In many parts Of Mexico,
corn can he grown yet this season and
soldiers returning to their homes in
many instances are planting q late
crop. but this will not meet the de-
mand At best just now, on account
of conditions which have prevailed for

EXCITEMENT CAUSED
BY DRUNK
TWO MEN ARE GIVEN BAD SCARE
WHEN lNEBRlATE FIRES
RIFLE AT THEM.

Pandemonium rcigned supreme in
the west end of the Northern Pacific
yards last evening. a man carrying
an overdose of alcohol was the main
cause of the excitement. IL seems that
during the afternoon he had come up
town and, in addition to buying his
spirituous load, purchased high
power Winchester automatic rifle, .35
caliber. On his way home he received
an inspiration to try the gun and pro-
ceeded to do so Two men were sitting
on pile of lumber in the material
yards and the loaded one let loose with
a shot right at them. He only in
tended to shoot once, but forgot to
remove his finger from the trigger of
the automatic and the bullets rained
for few minutes The two men were
largely absent after the first shot
They called up the Northern Pacific
offices and said that crazy man was
shooting up the neighborhood Night
Watchman Hunter organized himself as
posse and went out to the scene and
effected a capture. The man was
taken to the sheriff's office and when
1t was seen that he was drunk and not
crazy, the officers escorted him to his
residence.

CHALLENCERS LOSE
ANOTHER BALL GAME

For the second time the office of ac-
counts In the local forestry depart
ment met its Waterloo on the baseball
field. The clerks in that office issued
a def to the other offices recently. 1t
was accepted and the challengers We're
slaughtered by large score yesterday
They declared that the game was lost
on account of the absence of some OF
their regular men and We're given a
chance to redeem themselves yesterday
They failed to do so, however, and were
taken into camp by score of 25 to 9
The excuse faxed up to cover the first
defeat will hardly hold good, as the
challengers played Is men in the field
and the district office went into the
fray with only eight men In its lineup
Hicks pitcher for the district office
had smoke, curves and control and 6
little loose fielding behind him was al
that saved a shutout for the challeng'
ing team. Six innings were played.

CLAIM AGENT WEBB
NEAR TO DEATH
PRESENCE OF MIND SAVES RAIL-
ROAD MAN FROM LARGE
RATTlESNAkE.

Rare presence of mind was all that
OH the Puget Sound. from a horrible
death yesterday afternoon. Mr. Webb
went out near Alterton yesterday to
inspect some fire claims. Two men
were with him. but the trio became
separated and Webb found himself
alone. He was pretty tired, and. ar
riving ut a place that looked par
ticularly inviting. stretched himself
out for little nap Something nov
ing on his chest walked him. and.
SLOW ~ opening his eyes. he saw large
rattlesnake coiled on his chest. He
made slight movement and the snake
prepared to strike. He thought his
time had come. but suddenly a scene
from the Sels-Floto circus sdeshow
flashed through his mind. He began
to softly whistle My Bonnie Lies
over the occon." The snake pricked
up his ears and whnnied In response
to the soothing strains. With arched
back II began to weave back and
forth. webb then forsook the whistling
and began an Indian chant which had
even greater effect upon the reptile.
Standing erect on the tip of its tail
II began to dance In time with the
music. To gain more freedom for its
maneuvers the snake jumped to the
ground Webb left the scene of the
happening with great speed and the
last he saw of the rattler it was still
weaving back and forth.

NORTHERN PACIFIC
LETS CONTRACT
WORK WILL BE COMMENCED At
ONCE ON BRIDGE ACROSS
YELLOWSTONE.

Glcndiye, Mont. July ~. ESPECIALLY
--Supplemcnting the information Of II
few days ago. to the effect that the
Northern Pacific viii proceed at once
to complete the Glendive- Sidney
branch, by laying steel on the COM
pleted 55-mlle grade. there now comes
the additional good news that con-
tract has been actually let to the
Phtsburg Construction company for
the completion of the big railroad
bridge acro:s the Yellowstone river,
just above the city.
1t was first planned to do this work
with the company's own force of men,
such being the first Information from
st. Paul 1t has evidently been de-
cided that the bridge can he complet-
ed more expeditiously hy the con-
struction company awarded the con-
tract.
All the concrete " ork for the bridge.
including the abutments and big piers
in the river, was finished last fan.
so that the remaining work can be
finished quickly.
The Pittsburg Construction COM
pany. 1t is reported. already has its
outfit shipped and on the way to
Giendive. The contract provides that
the contractor shall have the false
work completed so as to get tenn
porary track across the bridge within
40 days of July 2. the date when the
contract was signed.
This undoubtedly means that actual
track laying on this important branch
line will commence on the other side
of the big bridge BY August II, There
will be a number of small bridges to
be constructed between here and Sid
ney. Otherwise, the laying of stee
at the rate Of three miles per day
would see the line completed to Sid
ney by the middle of September. II
is now deemed safe to add one month
to that, to allow for delays and bridge
work, giving the middle of October as
the time when the line ought to be
completed for the running of trains.

Business on the railways Is on the

receding steadily since then. Several

TO pare down the number of men to
