The supreme court heard argument
today In the case of the Northwest
Light & Water company versus the
state board of equalization, the Sun
set Brewing company intervenor. The
plaintiff company claims that the
board of equalization assessed its pro-
perty too high, unfairly and unjustly.
In its argument and brief the state set
forth that the Northwest Light &, Wat
er company attempts to make binding
on the state board of equalization the
value of it's plant and system as found
by the public utilities commission. This
value was s107,50o. The state board
Of equalization assessed the property
at $4,000. The net returns from the
property last year amounted to $19,-
1895. The state, through its counsel,
the attorney generals office, contends
that the board of equalization made a
fair assessment of the property of the
defendant and it should not be changed,
but instead be allowed to stand. The
supreme court took the case under ad-
visement.

Alumni headquarters were set up in

urday morning and old grads who are
residents of Grinnell have put their
homes in shape for the entertainment
of their classmates. All these homes
are made prominent by great banners
hung over porches or bay windows
displaying the class numerals in huge
figures.
Those in charge of alumni registra-
ton are hoping for record attend
ance during this commencement. Last
year the alumni registration book came
very nearly setting a new mark for the
number of names enrolled and it is
expected that the construction of the
new alumni hall, with the honor &c"
reunion and other features of the eNer-
cises, will draw many old grads back
who would not otherwise have at
tended.
The north end of the campus will
present a new appearance to the old

Bailey Marsh Company on the new
building has left little available space
in this section. But the new building,
which is gradually taking shape, viii
by next fall be the most imposing
structure on the campus.

Council Bluffs, June 1e.--There has
arisen in western Iowa an insistent
demand for the cessation Of the use'of
the highways for speeding, as re-
suit of the accident near here Friday
night, which resulted in the deaths of
two women and the injury Of three
others, the fate of whom is still in
doubt. This accident was indirectly a
result of the attempt of q. driver for
an automobile concern attempting to
make record run from Omaha to
Chicago.
Two men, Mr. REIN and Mr.. Storz,
Of Omaha, were first injured by their
car overturning as they were escort
ing the speed driver into Iowa. Mrs
Storz, one of the women killed later in
the day, had heard Of her husbands
injuries and had taken the family car
and with her two sisters and a niece
from Audubon, drove hastily to the
scene of the accident. hoping to aid
her husband who had. however, been
hurriedly taken to Omaha in an am
bulance over another route. The
failure to meet her husband She was
then driving fast towards home when
the crossing Of the Rock Island and
Milwaukee tracks just at the edge of
this city were reached. The Milwaukee
fast train whizzed by just as the party
reached the crossing and the Rock
Island was not more than three or
four minutes behind 1t. The roads at
this point parelleling each other very
closely.
Kill. Engine On Track.
The Rock Island engineer states he
saw the driver Of the car stop and
then proceed again, There is little
rise as the roadway approaches the
track and there are many who believe
that Mrs. Storz. as the car stood
squarely the track, endeavored to
quickly reverse and back off, thus kill
ing the engine. In her obviously high
nervous state for hours previous to
this critical moment, the woman grew
more excited as the train bore down
upon them.
Thousands Of people, have visited
the scene Of the wreck, Including
party Of Rock Island railroad officials
from Des Moines. Looking at the re-
mains Of the car all wonder that the
two women and the little girl were not
also killed outright. Strangely, the
bodies of Mrs. Storz and her sister,
altho. occupying different seats in the
car. were found close together. Mrs.
Bartlett whosswas killed, was soon to
become a mother. 1t is believed she
threw her daughter. who sat in her
lap, from the car The child Is still
in the hospital Miss Lillian Jensen,
Of Audubon, is still in a. critical con-
dition.
