VETO IS ENOUGH
To KILL T|PP|NS
MEASURE
Speculation Shows 1t Can Not
Pass at This Session, Even
With Sufficient Votes.

Speculation on the fate Of the Tip
pins Alexander bill, should the gov
ernor veto it, leads to but one point.
With the governors veto the bill can
never be passed at this session, even
though the necessary two-thirds votes
can be marshaled in both houses.
At the least. the senate can be given
three days of skirmishing before the
DILL is passed. With the special order
set for next Wednesday, this means
that the bill will be approved by the
upper house probably on Saturday,
July 81 According to statute, the
governor can hold the measure Ave
days before acting and If he sends it
back to the legislature with his disap-
proval it will reach both houses about
August 2.
The legislature adiourns on Au-
gust IA.

Through the governors veto the
Tippins bill will lose Its position as
house bill No. , and be forced to take
its chances in the closing days scram-

bills.
When it is remembered that its willy
Opponents in the lower house succeeded
in keeping the bill buried in committees
last year and left it there high and dry
when the session closed it can be real
lied that the vetoed measure will stand
slim chance of passage in the last
ten days Of this session
Opponents of the bill have played
their best cards in the state senate and
the measure set on special order for
Wednesday of next week is assured
passage
The strength of the senate opposi-.
ton is in the temperance committee,
and the eight votes marshaled yester-
day afternoon to delay consfdera ton Of

constitutes the fighting force that will
be arrayed against it next Wednesday.

After Writing Confession of
Fiendish Crime.

NEW YORK July 1s.-Nathan
| Schwartz. confessed murderer of
twelve year old Julia Connors. COM
mitted suicide by inhaling gas at PIG
Chrystie street early today The strik-
ing resemblance of the body to the de-

lice Immediately to summon members
of the dead mans family and positive

! Schwartz left three hastily scrubbed
notes confessing the fiendish crime and
expressing contrition for it,
Following the discovery of the notes
and identification of the body, fur
Their search of the room by the police
revealed complete confession which
evidently had been written just before
the man turned ON the gas preparatory
to taking his last sleep and cheating
justice of her due for one of the most
shocking crimes ever committed.
One of the notes left by the suicide
was scrubbed on the wall paper, an
other on his collar and third on the
margin of newspaper. In one of these
he said that two minutes after his
fendish act he was sorry for having
stabbed the girl to death inficting Al
wounds
Driven Insane BY Beautiful Woman.
Il was driven insane by the sight of
beautiful woman" another note
stated.
The confession that Schwartz left
was dated yesterday. 1t was apparent
ly written in the idea that he would
be able to comfort his mother with his
last words. He said that he was do
ing as he had been told to do by his
! father
The confession in full was as fol-
| lows:
July 17-This is only to my dear old
mother who | am always homesick for
and same to the rest and pa. whose
word l am taking by doing this, which

my last job was at the pocketbook

Grand street He owes me for two
days work. Please secure pay and give
to my mother, for she is very poor, and
for the truth my brother has lots Of
money and doesn't want to settle The
old folks on a farm for simple life.

Bile to neighbor, but all he will have tt
do is to call a cop.

Tell mother again that l am really
guilty and she shall not cry her eyes
out and break her heart. l know sht
thinks l am innocent.
Il am sorry l done 1t, but got crazy

Also Pugilist.

Bert Ribbey, who returned tc
Webster City a few days. ago after
an absence of some two years, has
won some laurels as a pugilist as
we'll as a wrestler. Last winter he
appeared in three ~,twenty-one round
contests in the city of Denver, and
several smaller events. The papers
in that part of the country spoke
well Of Mr.. Ribbey's ability. AS soon
as Ribbey fills the engagements he
has already dated he will return to
this city and make this his head
quarters for the coming winter. An
other matter in which Ribbey is
rather proud in the line of victory
is his successful engagement with
no other than Cupid" Mr.. Ribbey
has been married for almost one
year. The wedding bells for the
big wrestler were not without Its
touch of romance. Mr.. Ribbey after
a trying boxing bout in Chicago was
forced to go to a hospital for repairs,
While their he became acquainted
with Miss Ready, one of the nurses,
and shortly after the couple were
married. Mrs. Ribbey is at present
at the Ribbey home in Chicago and
will probably arrive in this city in
a short time. a,

Doing Well.

Des Moines, Aug. Especial to

week was cool and showery, with
an excess of cloudiness and humid
ity. The average daily deficiency
of temperature. was about eight de-
grees, and while the average rain
fall was about normal, many locali-
ties reported an excess of moisture
In some sections showers occurred
every working day of the week,
which delayed threshing and stack
ing, but the bulk of shock thresh-
ing is finished in the southern, and
is we'll advanced in the northern
districts. Reports continue to show
large yields of small grain. Corn is
still doing we'll, and with favorable
weather in the future will make one
OF the largest crops ever produced
in this state. Many of the early
planted fields in southern and CEN
trail counties are now in the roast
ing ear stage, and the late planted
fields are making rapid growth, but
would do better with warmer wealth
-er. Pastures and potatoes are i'm
proving, and are generally in good
condition. Fall blowing for winter
