Des Moines, June 3-Among state
officials it is regarded as highly APP
propriate that the suit to prevent the
state of Iowa from improving its own
property at the state capitol should be
tried out in Ottumwa. The suit is 10

that which great many believe ought
to have been done long ago. 1t was in
OttumWa that the former standpat suit
was brought to prevent that city from
taking a forward step in regard to
water works. and the courts refused to
indorse the "let well enough alone
policy of the obstructionists. The OF

set the mark for all the states and the
decision of Justice Weaver in the Iowa
court in that case has been followed IN
other states as the best law.
| The petitioner in the suit against the
state. John w. Rowley. in the last is
sue OF his Keosauqua paper, indicated

stating that the constitution of Iowa

not appropriate or levy tax on the

making of any improvement that Will

"A marriage has been arranged and
viii shortly take place between Miss
Estelle Lambert, only daughter Of
Rear Admiral Charles Lambert ire
tired and Mr.. John Hewlett. the we'll
known senior partner Of Hewlett &
Mason, SO Wall street. The news of
the engagement has occasioned con-
siderable speculation among the
friends of the bride, who"
John Hewlett, seated at his desk in
his capacious office, smiled very grim
ly rs he read the insinuating para
graph In the society paper which had
been sent to him, marked, by some
one who preferred to remain anony-
NOUS. It was well that he had done
90, for John Hewlett was not very
pleasant enemy, and he had been
known to repay insults with good
measure on more than one occasion.
But he only thrust the sheet con-
temptuously into his waste-paper
basket, and then, having sorted the
correspondence upon his desk, he
closed 1t with a slam. He had arrang-
ed his affairs; he had settled his OBJ
legations to the last penny; now he
was to settle moral obligation which
weighed on him more than the loss Of
his entire fortune, wiped out In day
by the sensational slump in Hard
ware Preferred.
John Hewlett was forty-three. From
the age Of eighteen to thirty he had
worked in foundry, stripped to the
waist, the bully and overload of
motley crew of hard fighters and hard
workers. Then an education, painful
ly and laboriously acquired by the aid
of a few books studied when he
should have been sleeping, enabled
him to break free from his enslave-
ment. In five years more he was
man of average education and moder-
ately rich; at forty he had entered
Wall street, where, during three
years, he had become known as the
most audacious free-lance in the finan-
cial district. He had made millions,
had been flattered and courted; then,
at forty-three he had fallen in love,
for the first time in his life. He had
met Estelle's father at his country
club. and the old admiral, captivated

by the bluff sincerity of the man, had
invited him to visit him at his home
on Fifty-fifth street. There he had
met Estelle, just back from school in
France, to take her dead mothers
place in the household; and by sheer
force of personality he had swept her
OF her feet with his impassioned
pleading.
And now he was ruined and his duty
lay clear before him. John Hewlett
had never flinched from duty when
he was boss of the foundry gang.
Hard-hitting, inflexible, he had gone
straight to the point and always car
ried 1t. Now his course was clearly
defined. He could not give her any.
thing to compensate for what he was
taking from her. He must release her
from the engagement.
Three-quarters of an hour later he
was being ushered into the drawing
room Of the Lamberts' house. 1t was
a soft summer evening, agreeably
cool; the lights were not yet turned
on, and the house was almost dark,
Miss Estelle was out, the man said,
but would return at any moment.
Would he wait for her?
John Hewlett paced the room quiet
1y, thinking out the speech that he
had prepared. He passed into the
hall. Adjacent to the drawing room
was a smaller one, the entrance hid
den by Japanese screen. Behind this
he heard the murmur of voices. One
Of them was Estelle's. The other
was the softly modulated one of The
odore flaming. Hewlett was about to
break in on them when something said
aroused his attention, and, though he
would have scorned to play the spy,
he stood as though rooted there, await
Ing the opportunity to slip away with
out arousing detection.
"Yes, Estelle, he's a beggar," he
heard flaming say, with self-satisfied
laugh. Every penny wiped out in
the Hardware slump. It's all over the
street. Poor beggar!"
