Jas. w. Lacy, former superintendent
of the city water department, was ex'
press agent. Engineer Tisdale. it is
said. was forced at the muzzle of a
revolver to set fire to the passenger
train.
Soldiers were sent out from Hanni
bal and a slight skirmish took place
but they arrived too late to prevent
the entire destruction of the two
trains. The freight train. that was
loaded largely with hides. tallow, etc.
made a mighty blaze No lives were
lost. John MCGOWAN was engineer on
the train that was promptly on the
scene with supplies for repairing the

TO DIES MONIES.

Des Moines, Aug. "a. The state
board of control lost a.>$2,000 Holsteill
bull which was being transported from
the state hospital at Independence to
the state fair for exhibition purposes
The animal became overheated in the
car and was found dead when the train
reached this city.
= Senator A. NJ McColl, member OF
the state board of control, said that
the dead bull was perhaps the pride OF
all the state herds. The state board
did not intend to place the animals
from the state institutions in compete
ton with other livestock entered. The
best specimens from all state herds
will be shipped to the fair to be ex.
hibited in order to demonstrate what
can be done in Iowa in improving the
dairy herds
I Herds from the state hospitals at
Cherokee and Independence have ar
rived. Others will be in later.
The Otis herd from Willoughby, O.,
which has arrived reported the loss OF
Shorthorn bull valued between 81 1000
and $4,000. The animal could not
stand the heat. 1t died while on the
way from Chicago to Des Moines.
All of the other livestock has arriv'
ed in good shape. The barns at the

Berlin, Wednesday, Aug. 23.-via
London, Aug. Achievement circles
here, though none too optimistic. view
the Rumanian situation calmly, taking
the attitude that 1t is Rumania's next
move. The feeling is that the central
powers have done everything possible
to meet Rumanias views and that
Rumania, in persisting in the course
desired by the entente and her own
expansionist party, will find the cen.
trail powers ready. in which event It
is to be expected every effort will be
made to insure that the new war theat
er is on Rumanian soil
Information from Vienna indicates
that the Austro- Hungarian government
bearing in mind the results of the nego'
tiations concerning Italy's claims be-
fore that nation entered the war, has
been at no time disposed to offos
Rumania similar concessions for fear
that this again would be mistaken for
sign of weakness. W szI ~
At this moment there is not dis
cernible the slightest effort to per.
suade Rumania taking any other
course than one due to her own inita-
tive The latest dispatch from Buchar-
est indicates a further cooling off Of

Mr.. Overturf, the driver, to the ground.

The separator, which was following
the engine, was not reversed In its
direction but ran close to the walk In
front of the tractor The whole thing
piled up into a mass of broken iron,
steel, splintered wood and bent tin.
The fire in the en- CINE was Immediate
ly cleared and Mr.. Cramblit and sew

This information, 1t was pointed out,

had sighted the blue fleet and given
to outgoing vessels for transmission
after the three mile neutrality limit
was passed. It was considered entire

portunity to establish an espionage
system similar to that with which
American authorities might have to

For this reason details of the blue"
