OLD AGREEMENT HOLDS.
Iowa Land Grant Railroads Obligated
to Conform to Fixed Tariffs.

Special to Times-Republican.
Des Moines, July 1o.-The issue
raised in regard to the obligation OF
the Iowa land grant railroads to con-
form to the tariffs fixed by the legis-
lature or under legislative authority
is. with regard to the proposed state
fair rates. much the same as the issue
which was raised at the time OF the
adoption of the present law some TWEEN
tyfive years ago. A. that time the
railroads refused at first 10 put into
force the rates fixed and announced
they would fight the matter in the
courts. Then 1t was shown that at
least as to some Of the reads :l,ey had
entered into an agreement to conform
to the rates fixed by the legislature. at
the time of the acceptance Of The land
grants from the state: and almost I'M
mediately thereafter the contemplated
test Of the Iowa law was abandoned.
And to this day the courts nave never
been called on to decide the Iowa rail-
road law Of 1888, which y. b. Cum
Minis largely wrote. to be legal or 9TH
erwise. 1t was accepted by the car
riers without a fight in the courts af-
ter the biggest kind of bluff at re-
sistance.
1t Is probable that Iowa has a
stronger hold on the rate question than
almost any other state by reason of
those clauses in the charters OF the
land grant roads by which they UNI
dertake to 'at all times be subject to
such rules, regulations and rates OF
tariff for the transportation of freight
and passengers" as may be fixed by
the general assembly.
1t was due to the capacious memory
Of William III. Fleming. former secre-
tary to various governors. that this
fact was recalled. He had hand In
the game.

cuLIAR SUIT IN DISTRICT
COURT.
OBTAINS JUDGMENT AGAINST
DIVORCED MANS INCOME
Alimony Ordered At Time Of Divorce
Seventeen Years Ago Never Paid
and Now Former Husband Heir to
Life Interest in Fathers Estate and
Must Pay.

Shenandoah, July lU.-By reason OK
the peculiar circumstances it embraced,
the decision rendered in favor of the
plaintiff yesterday by Judge Thornell
in the case of Mrs. Sarah De Rousee
versus Frank Williams is creating a
great deal Of interest because of the
unique points of law involved.
Mrs. De Rouse sued Frank Williams
for divorce about seventeen years ago
and gained her decree by default. With
the decree was included permanent ali
mony of so per month for the care
of her children. and which has con-
tinued until the present without any
payments being made. With accrued
interest the aggregate amount is now
about $4,000.
When the late r. j. Williams died his
will was contested but the contest was
settled by the parties to it, the settle
ment including the creation of trust
fund of $4,000 placed in the hands OF
Henry Read, trustee, which was to be
invested and the income turned over
to Frank Williams during his lifetime
The suit was started by Mrs. De
Rouse year ago to subject this fund
to the payment of the alhnony due to
her. The case was tried at the May
term of court, and decided yesterday IN
favor Of the plaintiff after Judge Thor
nell had taken the evidence under ad-
visement for month.
The case really involved two suits
One in which Frank Williams sought to
modify the amount of the alimony. and
the one in which was asked the accrued
alimony in full amount. both Of which
were won by Mrs. De Rouse.
Mrs. De Rouse was married to Dick

vorce was obtained but had always had

The Mullinix Mill at Derwood in
Ashes.

The Touring mill owned and operated
by Joseph Mullinix at Derwood. Mont
Somery county, was completely Destroy
ed by fire on Monday last No fire ap-
paratus was available. The loss is esti-
mated at between ten and twelve thou
sand dollars and is said to be only par
tally covered by insurance.
How the fire started is unknown. The
trSt alarm came when a man employed
in a woodward nearby shouting that
flames We're bursting from the top story.
The building was three stories high and
the fire is said to have started OH the
third floor in the elevator shaft. The
strong draft created by the elevator shaft
gave the flames such headway that all
efforts to save either the mill or the near
by buildings were soon abandoned All
of the valuable machinery in the mill was
completely DESTROYED.
Mr. Mulinix'S home which is situated
near the mill, and directly in the path of
the strong wind that famed the fire, was
seriously endangered for some time, and
it was feared several times that the house
was doomed. All the furniture was taken
out, and the volunteer tire-iightefS worked
feverishly with buckets, soaking the
house with water from nearby wells AS
a result the structure was untouched by
the flames.
Mr. Mulinlx has owned the mill for
only six months He purchased it from
the Gaithersburs Milling Company,
whose first building at Derwood was dc,
slroyed by tre twelve wears ago. The
structure that burned Monday replaced
the original building.

A Worthy Project"
The plan 10 erect a suitable monu-
ment 70 mark the last resting place of
the FIRST Governor is commendable. 1t
not creditable that the matter has so long
been neglected Two plans have been
proposed to finance the project, one by
popular subscription, through the various
historical societies, and the other by di-
rect appropriation Of the Legislature. 1t
has been suggested that $40, 600 would
provide suitable memorial. If this is
deemed a sufficient sum. why not under
take to raise one half Of the amount by
popular subscription and ask the Legs
hlure for the balance? The Herald's i'm
preston is that if the plan of raising the
entire amount by subscription is followed,
