Iowa Falls, Aug. 1.--State Geologist
Kay was in the city Saturday in COM
pany with Engineer tollensbee. Of the
United States water resources depart
ment, and established a water Suage
here permanently for the purpose OF
ascerta lining the flow OF water in the
Iowa river This is one of the six sta
tions established on the streams of
Iowa and as accurate records will be
kept for series of years. the figures
will be very valuable. The other sta
tons recently established by these
gentlemen arc at Iowa City. this max
ing two stations on the Iowa river. one
at Fort Dodge and one at keosauqua,
on the Des Moines river, one on the
Wapsie at Stone City. and one at
Cedar Rapids on the Cedar. The sta
ton here will be in charge of Albert
Kulas near whose home just west of
the city, the water guage has been
placed. These stations vii! he inspect

regular reports will be made to him
from readings made twice daily. morn
ing AMI veriiiig. Mr.. !Tollenshee has
been assigned to the states of Minne-
sofa Wisconsin and Iowa to look after
records of water power resources in
these states. He stated. while here,
that the state of Minnesota was now
spending $4,000 annually gathering
data relative to the streams in that
state.
To Investigate CIays.
Prof. Kay stated that next year the
state would devote much time and
money to detailed tests of the clays
and other mineral products of Iowa
and that the equipmen at Ames would
he ample to ascertain Just what val
ues the mineral resources of the state
possess. He stated that when these
facts We're ascertained. the manufac
tory Of products now shipped into the
state would commence and many new
industries would be created in Iowa to
utilize the raw materials the state now
possesses III a dormant condition. One
of the first tests to he made will be
the clays and cement materials found
in abundance west of this city. Mr.
Kay also stated that the time was not
far distant when Iowa would utilize
the power in her streams no matter

Sheffield, Aug. 7.-Forty- eight hours
have elapsed but not a word has been
heard from any Of the relatives of the
late w. A. Rush, the murdered agent
Of the Rock Island road in this city.
Brothers at Sedalia, Mo-. st. Louis, Mo.
and at other points have been wired
but no messages have been received
from them and the body of the agent
lies in the undertaking rooms Of Mr..
Hunter, with no one to give directions
as to Its disposal. Meanwhile at the
home of James Hawks. about eighty
rods from where the tragedy occurred,
is Mrs. Rush. Frustrated with grief
over what she has done, and guarded
by two deputy marshals who were
guard her from any harm she might
infiict upon herself.
Didn't Mean to Kill.
II didn't mean to kill him. only
shot to wound him and In self defense"
are the sentences she means incessant-
~. In all the town OF Sheffield nor one
word Is said against the wife. Every
where the kindest words are spoken of
her She was school teacher nine
years ago when she married w. A
Rush. He was depot agent and has
followed this work since Two years
ago they moved from New Virginia,
Iowa, to Sheffield. They were members
Of the Methodist Episcopal church
there and the pastor not only gave
them church letters but told how faith
full and able both had been in the re-
ligious work Of that community. Both
went into church work here, singing
In the choir and Mrs. Rush teaching a
Sunday school class Of young ladies.
Mrs Rush was not able to attend
the coroners inquest. Some Of the jury
men wanted to return a verdict OF
death was in self defense, but it was
thought that the evidence was not suf-
ficient to warrant it and a straight
verdict which charges her with muir
der in the first degree was returned.
Rush Feared Trouble.
The T.-R. correspondent interviewed
Miss Warner, the girl Of whom Mrs
Rush was jealous, and she admitted
that she wrote the postal card which
caused the fatal quarrel. She claimed
that Mr.. Rush had been paying her
attention for the past year and inferred
that he was going to drop his wife
and they would be married. Mr.. Rush
had evidently feared trouble for he had
told Miss Warner that if anything
should occur she was to let w. j. Fer
ris at Corydon know. and that Mr.. Fer
ris knew how he wanted to be laid
away. She was also to notify his broth
er, Edward Rush. at st. Louis. Most Of
Mrs. Rush's relatives. including
brother, three sisters and a father b.
F. Clay. live in the vicinity Of Des
Moines.
Rush carried insurance in the Bank

$4,000, and similar amount in fra
ternal order. 1t is understood that both
are drawn payable to his wife.

view that while steam power may have
to be used half the year. the utilization

such a great saving that every citizen

reduced figure. Prof Kay IS deeply IN
