a most popular resort and Is .attracting
large crowds both afternoons and evenings.
The old building has been transformed Into

any surplus cash. If they can prevent It.
Dinner and supper are served each day
and this feature of tile fair has been well
patronised. Each afternoon and evening
there Is a complete change of program and
last evening the entertainment consisted of
a pleasing pianola recital. The contests I
for the various prises offered are becoming
more keen each , day as the close, of the
fair approaches. ' A novel and popular feat

Pat Ryan, whose clothing, and the fact
that he had a husking peg in his pockets.
Indicate that he is a farm hand, wandered
out Into the Mosquito creek bottoms, south
of town, Wednesday night and went to
sleep In a hayrick, where he was found
yesterday morning by some farmers, al
most frozen stiff. The police were notified,
and Chief TIbbtts and Deputy Marshal
Lauch drove out to the place.
When- they arrived there the farmers
had wrapped Ryan up in horse blankets
and were endeavoring to thaw him out.
Ryan was brought to the city Jail, where
after several hours he came to sufficiently
to be able to tell his name. He said he
had been visiting In Omaha for a few days
and that his home was In Salisbury, Mo.
He came to the Bluffs on Wednesday after
noon and visited a number of saloons, but
was unable to state how he came to wan
der to the bottoms. An empty pint bottle,
which had csntalned whisky, and 38 In
cash were found on him.
His fingers were badly frozen, but his
feet, which were encased In heavy woolen
socks and felt boots, escaped. When he
had thoroughly thawed cut, Ryan was
locked up and a charge of drunk plaoed
against him.

Object to Dlteh Assessments, '
Judge Oreen In district court yesterday
granted George H. Mayne temporary In
junctions restraining County Auditor Innea
from entering on the tax books the assess
ments made against property owned by
himself and father, W. S. Mayne, for the
construction of the Pigeon Creek drainage
ditch. The county authorities are made
defendants In two separate suits.
W. 8. Mayne, who owns considerable
land In Garner and Carson townships, was
assessed something over ' 31,500, the com
missioners claiming that his property would
be benefited that amount by the construc
tion of the drainage ditch. This assess
ment, Mr. Mayne contends. Is wholly un
warranted, as his property Is located three
miles from the proposed ditch and cannot
possibly be benefited by it The further
claim Is made by Mr. Mayne that his land
at present has a sufficient and natural
drainage Into the Missouri river.
George II. Mayne was assessed 3375. The
proposed ditch will pass through his prop
erty, but he has not been awarded any
damages for the land which will be taken
In the construction of the ditch. Mr. Mayne
contends that his property will not be
benefited by the drainage ditch, but on the
contrary will be damaged by It as the
water course will cut off his road to Coun
cil Bluffs.

DECIDES TO HOLD A FAIR NEXT YEAR
Board of Education to Be Asked to
Pay for Articles Stolen from Cloak
Room of West Des Molaes
High School. '
(From a 8taff Correspondent)
DES MOINES, Dec., 10. (Special.) The
State Board of Agriculture today adopted
the recommendation of a special committee
on food adulteration, composed of ex-Governor
8. B. Packard and M. J. Wragg,
which included the draft of a bill that will
be pushed before the legislature next win
ter. The committee had been Instructed a
year ago to make an exhaustive report and
Investigation, and reported that there Is
great need for some law In Iowa that will
reach the matter of adulterations.
The bill creates the office, of state dairy
and food commissioner, and he succeeds
to all the duties and compensations now
pertaining to the dairy commissioner.
With the approval of the executive council
he may appoint assistants Who shall re
ceive 33 a day and expenses, and 3300 a
year Is added ta the present salary of the
dairy commissioner. An official chemist Is
to be appointed at $1,300 a year and lab
oratory and apparatus shall be furnished
him. The commissioner shall make rules
for carrying out this act and procure sam
ples of food offered for sale for examina
tion by the chemist. The certificate of the
chemist as to the contents of a substance
shall be prima facie evidence. The com
missioner shall have the facta certified to
any county attorney, who shall proceed to
orosccute for violations. The essential
c'auae of the bill Is:
No person by himself, his servant or
ri.nt nr as the servant or agent of any
other person, shall manufacture or Intro
duce into the state, or solicit or take op
ders for delivery, or sell, exchange, deliver
or have in his possession with intent to
sell, exchange, expose or offer for sale
or exchange any article of food which la
adulterated or mlsDranaea wunin me mw
Ins of this act. .
Hits the Original Vendor.
The part of the bill that Is, new and
somewhat novel and which It Is believed
will draw to the bill many supporters Is.
In the phrase "or solicit or take orders for
delivery," which will fasten the responsi
bility upon the agent who goes about dis
posing of goods that are not right. The
chief objection of the retail grocers of the
state has been that the penalties have ap
plied to the seller only, since the manu
facturer. If he lives in another state, can
not be reached. The word "food" Is de
fined In the bill to Include all articles used
as food, drink, confectionery or condiment
by men or domestic animals. "Misbranded
signifies bearing false statement as to in
gredlents, substances or quantity contained
In package offered for sale, or false state
ment as to the state or country where man
u fact u red or produced. The ' '. m of
"adulteration- Is Identical-with that given
In the Hepburn bill pending In congress.
No dealer Is to be proeeouted If he has a
written guaranty signed toy the wholesale
salesman, Jobber or manufacturer, pro
vided the guarantor' resides in this state,
lThe penalties . are theft i.'jU , be applied to
the' guarantor. The , eommlssloner may
cause mixed or compound goods to be
branded. He may compel a dealer to sell
to him. but the dealer may also require
that the sample be divided into three parts,
one for the commissioner, one for the
county attorney and one for himself, for
comparison. Violation of the law Is to be
a misdemeanor punishable with a fine of
not to exceed 3500 or slg months In Jail
and a second offense Is to be punished with
Imprisonment not less than sixty days nor
more than a year and the fine may be
doubled.
The bill and the report will go before
the next legislature and the State ' Board
of Agriculture will send a lobby to work
for the, same. It Is regarded as the most
complete bill ever prepared for this pur
pose.
State Fair Next Year
The St&te Agricultural board this morn
ing proceeded to organise by the re-eleo-tlon
of the old officers, after which the
matter of having a state fair In Iowa In
1901 was taken up. There had been some
doubt In the minds of igm of the direc
tors as to whether or not there should be
a state fair in view of the nearness of
Des Moines to St. Louis and the fear that
the fair would not be sufficiently patron
Ised to make It pay. Secretary Simpson,
however, had been forehanded In the mat
ter and had written to nearly all the
leading exhibitors, especially of live stock,
asking them to stats positively whether
or not they would exhibit at the fair. He
had 100 letters from these exhibitors and
all but eleven of them stated positively
that they would exhibit and that they
desired to come again to a state fair,
despite the St. Louis exposition. This was
regarded as conclusive of the matter and
the board voted unanimously that a state
fair should be held next year and the datea
as fixed at the association of fairs were
adopted. The fair will begin August 19,
The fair board also named superintend'
ents of the departments and went to work
on revision of the premium lists, -
The State Horticultural society closed its
program today after heating many report

Sensations at a Hlab School.
The faculty of the West Des Moines
High school is preparing to present a bill
to the school board for a considerable
sum on account of articles stolen from the
cloak rooms In ths past few months. Com
plaints have been common of thefts' from
the high school and many pupils have
suffered. Last week there was taken from
the overcoat of one boy a pair of opera
glasses that cost "C6,- and other valuable
articles. Investigation was made, but
Mrs. I.ydia Whltaker, a widow, claiming
to be a graduate of the State Normal
school, was found by the police today to
be engaged In working at teaming - and
dressed as a man. She tells a story of
hardship, and that she had at one time
been In the state reform school, but some
time ago came here and found her grand
father In poverty. There was nothing for
her to do, but he hnd a team of horses and
wagon she could use, and she donned
male attire and has worked outdoors ever
since. She hauls coal and garbiige, and
ves with her grandfather In a hovel near
the packing houses. The police will In-
estlgate.
Revise College Estimates.
The legislative committee of the Iowa
State college at Ames held a session here
and revised the estimates on the cost of
buildings required and other, matters be
fore presenting the same to the legisla
ture. The committee went over the fig
ures, and made a number of changes, re
ducing the amounts to be asked of the
legislature.
Optimistic on Prohibition.
O. W. Stewart of Chicago, chairman of
the national prohibition committee. Is at
tending a meeting of the state central
committee here today. Stewart says there
never was a brighter prospect for the pro
hibition party. He declared money for
campaign expenses was coming In plenti

and that the next presidential election
would see a gain of 100 per cent la the no

BODY FOUND WITH NECK TIED
Extra Iowans Propose to Find Out
Who Fastened Strap on
Richard Robaon.
EXIRA, la., Dec. 10. Much excitement
prevails here as a result of the, finding of
the body of Richard Robson, the 18-year-old
son of Joseph Robson of Center township.
The boy disappeared a month ago and
nothing more was known of him until
Fred Kline, a young farmer, while out
hunting this week, stumbled over the body.
Four weeks ago Dick Robson took a
team and went to the field to husk corn.
Borne hours later the team with which he
went out came to the barnyard without
an attendant and with the lines fastened
on the side of the wagon, . much as
they are usually fastened by corn huskers,
A search for the young man proved fruit
less and It was supposed he had tired of
home life and had gone out to see some
of the world.
The finding of the body and the further
fact that tied around his neck was a
leather strap such as Is used for a hitch
rein and that there were no marks of
violence on the body lead the authorities
to bellove that there was foul p'ay and
Coroner Clyde Baker has ordered an in
quest
There Is something nf
nected with this family. Some years ago
the elder Robson lost his wife and later
married a woman from an eastern state.
It Is said,' after a correspondence started
through a matrimonial paper. A couple
of years ago this wife secured a divorce
and considerable money. Much hard
feeling wtaa caused. by the divorce pro
ceeding, i Early last spring an older
brother of the boy whose body was found
today died after a short Illness. Tonirht
It Is said there was something mysterious
about his death and that his body may
be exiiumed-. Parties in charge of -the
case intimate that there may be a big
sensation, but further than that refuse to
talk.
