C. M. Beem, Henry Gode and H. H. Bremmer, a committee representing the Commercial club of Marengo, appeared before the board of directors of tbe Cedar Rapids Commercial club this morning with a proposition to build an electric line from Cedar Rapids to Oskaloosa via Marengo.

Their plan is to Incorporate with a capital of (25.000, of which $6,000 will be raised in Marengo.

Cedar Rapids will be called upon to subscribe for $10,000 worth of the stock, but would only be required to put up 10 per cent of "that, or $1,000 to help defray the preliminary expenses. The proposed road was conceived by Marengo citizens, and the committee stated that if the road is deemed practicable, they could secure the necessary backing to finance it. The farmers in the vicinity of the proposed line are said to be In favor of it and they will freely grant right-of-way and subscribe for stock.

The proposition has not yet been submitted to Oskaloosa, but the Marengo committee expect to visit that city this week. Vice President Rail of the Cedar Rapids Commercial club will appoint a committee today to investigate the proposition and report on it at the next regular meeting of the board, which will be held next- Monday.

In the case of Mrs. Llda Edwards vs. the city of Cedar Rapids which has been on trial for the past three or four days, the jury after an all night consultation finally agreed and returned a verdict this morning awarding the plaintiff damages in the sum of $1,700. Upon the concusion of this case Judge Miller took up the criminal business and began the trials of that class of cases with the appeal case of the state vs. William Smith, who is charged with drunkenness and disorderly conduct.

He was tried once in superior court and fro mthe decision of that tribunal an appeal was taken to this court. Following the above named case another appeal case, state vs. J. S. Beck, for selling watermelons in Cedar Rapids without a license, will be taken up, to be followed by tbe case of the state vs.

Jessie Leverlch, for selling intoxicated liquors contrary to law. This will practically close the criminal trials for this term, as it is announced that the state vs. Shaft -r will be continued, although it not as yet so entered on the docket.

Wm. Smith, the same party now on trial, was dismissed and the case of state vs. R. L. Powers and two cases against Arthur Karterman were marked continued at request of defendant.
