Two Sides of the Pool For Shipping Agricultural Implements. CUNCERNING THE CHAUTAUQUA Services at the Churches —~The County Printing—A Special Jury For the Coffman Case—The Park Case. The Implement Shippers. It has been announced that the prom- inent agricultural implement houses of this city have organized an ussociation for the purpose of freezing out munu- facturers who have simply agents lo- cated here, and who ship their goods from this point through the houses of transfer ngents. These agents claim that they are residents here, many of them owning property here, and paying taxes, and that by reason of such dis- crimination against them as this associ- ation seeks to enforce, they will be com- pelled do move away from here, locate their business elsewhere, and that the city will thereby be inj{umd to that ex- tent. They f :{ that if the business men generally understood the situation they would not endorse the action of this as- sociation. It was suggested to them that they bring their cause of complaint to the attention of the board of trade, so that some formal action might be taken torelieve them, but the claim is made in reply that the very men who are foremost in this movement against them are leading members of the board of trade, and that such a complaint would naturally not receive fair treat- ment. They claim that it is hardly con- sistant for such men to be shouting for Council Bluffs, and urging all to help build it up, while they are endeavoring to build up their own business by crowd- ing out others and injuring the city at large. The chief complaint against this as- socigtion is.in regard to the shipping of goods. It has been customory for a cus- tomer to order goods of different makes, and from different purties here, and the one having the largest shipment, say a half carload, to allow the others to put their goods into the car, thus getting advantage of the carload rates. Theus- sociation, composed mainly of those hav- ing warehouses and sidetracks, has de- cided that the one doing the loading of the car shall charge the other members of the association, sending goods to go into the same car, 3 cents u hundred, Those who are not members of the association are charged 10 cents a hundred. As these general agents here, handling gooas through transfer houses, are not mem- bers of this association, they have to puy 10 conts a_hundred for shipping their goods, while members to the asso- ciation load for each other for 8 cents. This is claimed to be a discrimination which will force these men to do busi- ness elsewhere. The members of the association state the situation in quite a different light. They admit that there is an association, but deny that it is simply a Council Biuffs arrangement. It embraces jobbers in Omaha also, and the same regulations adopted] here overn there. If these who complain ocute in Omaha, they will get no bet- ter rates there. If they go to Kansas City they will find that they cannot load there in other dealers’ cars at any price, but will have to do their own shipping as best they can. At Lincoln thare are no facilities for get- ting others to do their shipping, as they desire here. In fact, under this ar- rangement, Council Bluffs affords these gentlemen as good opportunities us can be secured anywhere, and better than most cities. As to the justice of the association in making this arrangement, the gentle- men _concerned assert that they have acted for the best interests of their own business and to protect that. It can hardly be expected of them that they should sacrifice their own interests for the sake of furnishing facilities for men to cut into their own trade. It can hardly be asked of them that they should main- tain warehouses, sidetracks and other facilities for ship{uing, and then allow men in the same line of business tohave the advantage of these for nothing. As to the charge of 10 cents per 100 for loading such goods as these agents bring to them, they say that this does not pay for the trouble, annoyance, ex- pence and frequent delays. Even at this rate they feel that they are accom- modating those who now complain. The reason for making a different rate for members of the association is that these members are in position to return the courtesies, while those who complain are always asking to have goods loaded into other dealers’ cars, but seldom, if ever, lond by the car themselves. One instance will make 1t clearer. One house which has shipping tacilities received an order for a car load of goods, including some- seeders. The agent for another kind of seeder induced the customer to cancel the order for the seeders and order of him. One of the inducements offered the customer was that the agent’s seeders could be shipped in the same car as the other oods and would cost nothing additional or freight, and at the same time the agent cut the price, thus securing the order, and causing the house which was doing the shipping to lose this much of the original order. Then when the 0ods were to be shipped the agent sent fiis seeders to the warehouse of this firm and wanted the firm to load them into the car and send thcm to this cus tomer. ‘Hardly any business house would feel hke shipping goods under the circumstances, and the least that could be asked was the payment of 10 cents & 100 pounds to help meet the ex- penses of shipping. Mr. W. W mis, of David Bradley & Co., chanced to be at the teatable the other evening, and was drawn into con- versation on this subject by the re- cently appointed correspondent of the Omaha Herald, who was formerly in the agrigultural implement business, and on the strength of this acquaint- ance, andglittle dreaming that he was being intervieved, Mr. Loomis talked freely. What was his surprise when he found the next morning what purported to be a full report of this private, social conversation. Had the conversation been correctly given it would have been a bud breach of social confidence, but Mr. Loomis found the statements so garbled and twisted, in the evident in- terests of the parties complaining about the association, that he protests stoutly ubout being thus represented before the public, Mr, Wies is quoted as saying at an as- sociation meeting, ‘‘we have got the manufacturers, now let’s fix them.” He denounces this fully as stoutly as being false in every respect, No one 1n this section of country is as much interested in the prosperity of manufacturers of and dealers in imple- ments generally as the companies who com the Council Bluffs & Omaha Implement Dealers’ association. The following list should convince any fair- minded person that it would be suicidal for them to persue any poliuf that would injure ‘tho trade in implements in Council Bluffs or Omaha: David Brad- & Co.. Council Bluffs; Deere. Wells & Co.. Council Bluffs; Welr Shugart Co., Couneil Bluffs; Parlin Orendorff & Co., Omaha; Moline Milburn Stoddard Co., Omaha; Churchill Parker, Omaha: Winona Implement Co., Omaha. It has been stated that the implement dealers association intends to shut out of this trade the general agents of manufacturers, The articles of the ns- sociation, however,; clearly state that they ean become members and enjoy all the benefits and ehipping privileges that are afforded any member under these articles. The smallest shipper, handling but one article, can have the same courtesies from the largest house as would be extended by that house to its heaviest competito: — e head of one, two and three-year-old steers for sale.

The movement for securing a Chau- tauqua assembly here 18 being quietly but earnestly pushed forward, and with excellent prospects for making it a grand success. The plan is for so broad and firm a foundation as shall ensure it as the Chautauqua of the west. The location is wonderfully well adapted. The many railways centering here ex- tend in all directions through intelli- gent and progressive communities. In almost every town in the country there is now to be found a Chautauqua circle, and these circles need and are wishing for some central point for the establish- ing of an ussembly where they can come together during the summer months of each year; for study and recreation. A stock company has been organized with the view of locating sguch grounds in _the vicinity of Council Bluffs and Omaha. Already there has been about %20,000 secured here, and is be- lieved that the balance of the stock will be taken just as soon as the plan is fully understood, and the uadvantages offered fully realized. » There are similar assemblies at Crete, Neb., Ottawa, Kan.,and other pointe, and they have met with wonderful suc- cess. They draw to those points thous- ands of people every season. It would be a great thing for these two cities if, by the establishing of such an assembly, a'like number could be drawn to this railway center, which could be done much more easily than at eitherof those points, or at any other in the west. 'hose having the movement here in charge are looking beyond even this, however. It is not their purpose to establish merely a local assem- bly, which will' draw a few thousand people from a comparatively small surrounding district. ~ The pur- pose is not to get upa rival local as- sembly, but in fact establish literally the chautauqua’ of the west, a national center, fostering and accommodating the local assemblies. These local as- semblies will continue to serve their purpose and _continue to prosper, but the west needs just what the east has at Chautauqua, N. Y. There are many who cannot go to Chautauqua, N. Y. 1f like accommodations can be furnishea here, and money enough put in to se- cure in like manner men of national reputation for instructors, entertain- ments, ete., during the season, there cannot but be drawn here as large crowds as yearly gather at Chautauqua, Y. There is bound to be alarge chautauqua at some point in this part of the country, and probably another on the Pucific const, and in time another somewhere in the south. Council Bluffs and Omaha might as well secure this as to have some other city wrest it away, as they surely will if our people are not up and doing. In looking about for a location for such an assembly, to be started on such a broad foundation as to make it equal to the eastern one, 1t has been decided by those not locally interested, that this vicinity presents the best possible ad- vantages, largely on account of the many railways coming in from all divections, the natural scenery, the advantages of two large cities, healthv climate, good water, besidesmany other advantages apparent to any one looking over the situation. Dr. J. L. Hurlburt, g{rim'i{ml of the Chautauqua Assembly, ew York, who has been instrumental in establishinglocal assemblies through- out the country, has made personal ex- amination of this locality, and he pro- nounces it the finest point west for such a purpose. 'he grounds selected, near this city, are nearer to Omaha than any suitable grounds which can be obtained on the other side of the river, even if it could be obtained as oheaply. The high price of property near Omaha and the fact that even at such prices as are asked no such beautiful grounds as those selected could be had, make it advisable tolocate here. With the new lines of communi- eation being ovened it will be as easy for those living on the other side of the river to come and go as though the grounds were west of Omaha. There will be a through line of railway or street cars, so the grounds will be easily accessible for both cities, and those at- tending the assembly can visit either city at will, . It will take $100,000 to carry out the plans as outlined. A mere local as- sembly could be obtained and main- tained for much less, but those having the matter in hand say they will not start the enterprise at all unless so asto make it not merely for Council Bluffs and Omaha, not merely for lowa and Nebraska, but present such attractions as shall draw from as wide an extent of country as to make the assembly na- tional in its character. The encouragement already received gives assurance that this enterprise will soon be placed on such a foundaticn as to make this possible. The enterprise is no experiment. The experience at Chautauqua, N. Y. and at every local assembly ground has demonstrated that financially, socially and morally such an enterprise cannot but succeed. At Chautauqua, N. Y. the surplus last year above expenses reached nearly $40,000. Tnat enables the association to l)ro\'ide a rich lrfifrumme for the following year, and add to the accommodations. ‘What hus been done east can surely be done west, especially when in this loca- tion there are so many more advantages than are presented at Chautauqua, N.

Officer Nicholson and Deputy Mar- shal Barhyte yesterday experienced a little difficulty in serving a writ of at- tachment on Chris Acton. The latter was formerly a resident of this city, but now resides in Omaha. He is engaged in hauling corn across the river, and drove up to the city sqales to wait for a load. 'he deputy marshal had the writ in his possession, and -Nitholson went out of the police station‘amd asked the man if his name was, A¢ton. Being answered in the affirmative, the officer retraced his steps and fnformed the deputy. Acton evidently ‘‘smelt a mouse,” for he speedily began to un- hitch his team and was ready to drive away when the officerscame out and tried to read the writ. ‘Acton whipped up his horses and tried to drive over them, but Deputy Barhyte jumped into the wagon and 1:lpplicd is patent throat constrictor, and soon peace was de- clared. Acton cried and claimed the team belonged to his wife, but he had to go home without it. The writ is in favor of A. 1. Beardsley, the druggist, and covers a debt ingurred by Acton some time ago. The team was run across the river, and yesterday was the first time that the officer had an oppor- tunity to capture the game, and he wus determined not to let the chance slip. ——— See the special bargains of Tipton, the real estate broker, in another col- umn, To-day passers upon Broadway will be attracted by the beautiful display of baby carrviages in the windows of **'The Corner” book store.

HARKNESS BROTHERS, 401 Broadway, Council Blufls, ——t0 Trouble Over Title, There is a little war started over some of the lots in Brown’s subdivision, near the river. Yesterday James Seguin, who claims to be the owner of lots 1 to 15in block 82, along Eighth avenue, hauled onto the ground a lot of heavy bridge timbers, which he proceeded to put in line along and across the lots so as to secure possession of them. The “squatters,” as they are termed, who claim the right to the lots concluded to remove these timbers, and not allow the 1ots to be thus forcibly taken possession of. The timbers will probably be put back to-morrow, or some other steps taken to secure possession, and the con- troversy is liable to get into court. It seems that everybody wants to be on defensive rather than to start the s and the moves are being made on both sides to secure the advantage of forcing the other side to do the fighting, — HONEY FOR THE LADIES.

SHALL UTAH BE ADMITTED? The Subject Discussed Before the Senate Territorial Committee. A VERY SPIRITED DEBATE: Delegate Caine Insista That the Appli- cation is Made in Good Faith =Views of a Gentile Representative. The Polygamy Problem. Wasmaros, Feb, 18.—~The senate com- mittee on territories gave a hearing to-day upon the admission of Utah as a state, to ex- Senator McDonald, who discussed the legal features of the case and argued that the power of congress to compel submission to any regulation with regard to the marriage relation was not impaired by the admission of Utah as a state. He claimed congress had no right to keep a territory out of the union of states after its people had fulfilled the conditions and complied with the require- ment prescribed for admission. The committee took a recess at 2 o'clock, after which Delegate Caine and Judge Jere- miah Wilson addressed the committee on the subject. Delgate Caine said the people of Utah had on four separate occasions asked admission. One obstacle was polygamy. There was but oné point in the constitutic dopted about which there could be any question and that was whether the twelfth section embodied the honest views of the 13,2056 men who voted to ratify it. This section’ makes polykumy and bigamy misdemeanors, punishable by fine and imprisonment. He declared upon his honor, a8 a God-fearing man, that the people of Utah did deliberately and unreservedly adopt that section in good faith as the law of the land and intended to enforce it in the new state. Mr. Caine defended his co-reli- gionists of Utah against the charges brought ¥ vurious writers. Those who oppose statehood for Utah, he continued, care nothing for the religion or morals of the Mormons. It is their politics which they oppose. 1f you satisfy them you must disfranchise every Mormon on account of his religious belief. Judge Jeremiah Wilson also addressed the committee, He eulogized the people of Utah. The Mormons had never broken a promise nor betrayed a trust and therefore their sin- cerity in this matter ought not to be ques- toned. Delegate Dubuis, of Idaho, addressed the committee in opposition to the petitions for admission. He udmitted the population of Utah to be sufficient so far as numbers go to entitle the territory to statehood, but de- clared that this population was mainly. im- ported directly from Europe by the Mormon church. Even with an inefticient police force the number of arrests was enormeusly proportionate to the population and t| majority of persons arrested were con Utah had been blessed with a su climatc and soil. She lay on & direct line between the * east and California. United with such advantages her taxable wealth only aggregated £35,000,000, &, (00,000 of which was railroad property not owned in Utah, and $10,000,000 of which belonged to the 80,000 gentile inhabitants of that terri- tory. Her taxable wealth averaged only $157 per capita, while in neighboring territories it ranged from 300 to §700. He asked to be informed by any advocute of admission what practice of Brigham Young or Joseph Taylor was now admitted to have been wrong; and argued that the course of the Mormons in the future could be best judged by their past. Crime was now ripe in Utah and the criminals had the sympathy of the entire Mormon peo- Dle. any = reform was promised, any abstention from the practices pronounced by law to be criminal, the man who promised it was ostracised. The legislature refused to make provisions for the arrest and punish- ment of criminals and the United States gov- ernment was compelled to bear the burden of the local government of the territory. The new constitution was half a trick, half a lie. and those who presented it did not come as frec men to free men, but, with cring- ing and cowardice, proposed to bind themselves for 4he future in a way which was required of no_ other state. The territory could not come in under this constitution as an_equal and the provision agninst the amendment of her constitution was therefore either entirely negatory or en- tirely wrong. The gentiles did not believe two years of statchood would elapse before the constitution would be changed to meet the views of the church. The committe adjourned for the day.

KaNsas City, Mo,, Feb. 18.—[Special Tele- gram to the Bee.]—The Kansas City Cable railway company scored to-day the first point in the contest regarding cable patents in ‘which it is now engaged with the Metropoli- tan Cable railway people. Judge Gill, in the circuit court, rendered a decision agreeing to fix the compensation for the use of the patent. On January 6 the common council amended the Highland avenue fran- chise it has granted to the Metropolitan peo- ple in such a manner as to allow all the other cable companies thereafter to be constructed in Kansas City the right to the use of all the patents controlled by the Metropolitan com- pany on payment of reasonable compensation and if no compensation could be agreed upon it should be fixed by the judge of one of the criminal courts of Jackson county. After the Kansas City Cable company had ac- cepted the franchise of the Washington street extension to 'its system the Metropolitan company notified the city that it would not accept the Highland avenue franchise and forfeited its deposit of §10,000 in order to pre- vent the Kausas City "Cable company from using its patents. The latter corporation contended that the mere non-acceptance of the franchise did not constitute a forfeiture and after attempting to arrive at an agree- ment_with the Metropolitan company peti- tioned Judge Gill to fix the compensation as provided in section 27 of the ordinance. In concluding his decision Judge Gill says: *“I shall, therefore, hear evidence as to the value of these patents and fix the compensation, After the hearing of the evidence and the fix- ing of the compensation and the refusal of the Metropolitan company to receive the same it is then optional with the cily whether it institute proceedings for the forfeiture of the contract.”” The decision is a highly im- portant one, both as regards the cable patents and the authority of a city council.
