Some time ago it was announced
there would soon be a new democratic

that 1t was a movement on the part
of some of the daily papers of the city
to partly fill that field and thus make
1t more difficult ever to start a demo
cratic morning daily. which has long
seemed to be probability But there
is also another side to it.
The proposed democratic organ
would have a bearing on the Des

CLERKS OF COURTS OBJECT.
Receive No Pay For Naturalization
eapsrs-Work May 6e Optional.

Special to Times Republican.
Council Bluffs, July 13.-Clerks Of
courts OF Iowa are seriously consider
ing the question Of giving up the work
OF making out and keeping naturaliza-
ton papers. The matter was one Of
the most earnestly discussed questions
at the recent state meeting at Oska-
loosa and has been the cause of more
complaint than anything that has af-
fected the clerks Of courts in Iowa in
years. Many Of the clerks are Of the
opinion that the work Is optional with
them. and II 1t can be shown that this
Is true 1t is pretty safe guess that
Uncle Sam Will soon have to look else
where for his free clerical work. Prior
to the time that this work was placed
upon its present basis by the federal
government, the fees were paid the
clerks and not to the counties as now.
1t is evident, say the clerks, that the
intent Of the federal law was to COM
pensate them for their work. which, in
the case Of the present forms. is
enormous. The clerks are oe the belief
that the federal government expected
and wanted them to act as agents of
the naturalization office and the fees
their own, as they are paid by the
United States government and the
work is not a part of their duties as
clerks of the courts.

DC CROP or GRAPES.
Vineyards Of Southwest Iowa Expected
60 Visid Ueuntfuliy.

Council Bluffs, July 49, Plans for
shipping at least $50 carloads OF grapes
out Of Council Bluffs are being made by
the Grape Growers Association. Indi-
cations are that the crop this season
will be an exceptionally heavy one
likely to even exceed the tremendous
one marketed last year.
The season so fur has been especially
favorable for grapes. the early rains and
the cool weather being just what IL
needed to bring large yield. The
grapes are now so far developed that
they can withstand an unusual amount
Of the hot dry weather which Ii to be
expected In July and August. without
serious decrease in the crop.
Last year Council Bluffs fruit grow
ers had an unusually heavy yield OF
grapes. following several seasons when
the late spring frosts and August
drouths had had q most deleterious ef-
feet upon the vineyards. Many Of the
older grapes were winter killed a few
years ago. and the new vines put in n,
that time are just beginning to bear
fruit
Indications are that the grapes will be
ready for market ut least week or ter
days earlier than usual this year. as the
season turnout has been an advanced
one. The Moore's early variety Is usu-
ally first to show signs OF ripening and
these will soon be followed by the Con-
cords.
1t is expected that shipments o,
grapes will begin about tho middle o,
August. and while the season lasts Il
Will be busy one Practically all
the grapes are sent out In carload lots

wagons after they have been checked

RAILROAD DETECTIVES DiscRED.
IT STORY TOLD az PARLoR
CAR PORTER.
NEGRO SOUGHT TO BE
BRANDED AS A HERO
Claimed TO Have Grappled With Lone
Bandit At Point Near Epworth and to
Have Wrsstsd Revolver From Rob-
her. Thus Preventing Loss Of Valu-
ablss-arues Probably Will Lose Job
pecial TO Times Repu blican.


Dubuque, July 13.-Detectives who
have been investigating the alleged
hold-up OF q parlor car on an Illinois
Central passenger train near Epworth,
Iowa, last Wednesday night, came to
the conclusion Saturday that the hold
up" was 4 fake and that the tale told
by A. H. Bruce, a colored porter, was
the result of too much porting over
dime novels and desire to be branded
as a hero without exposing himself to
the dangers necessary for the making
of hero.
Bruce, it will be remembered claimed
to have grappled with the Tone
bandit" on the rear platform OF the
parlor car and to have wrestled the
"hold-up mans" revolver and mask
from him. He concluded his narrowing
tale by stating that the bold, bad
man" had leaped from the train, jumped
into a waiting auto and escaped.
Broke into Fame.
Bruce managed to create such a
sensation with his story that even the
Associated Press took it up and
flashed it to newspapers all over the
middle west
In the meantime however. Illinois
Central detectives were working on the
case and as the hours went by they
began to doubt some of the statements
made by the negro Saturday they an
nounced that Bruce had framed up"
the "hold-up" and in the little drama"
has enacted the part Of both the clone
bandit" and the hero"
AS as result, Bruce. who has been a
parlor car porter for eighteen years,
will probably lose his job and will be
as far away from the hero class as he
was before the "hold-up."
