FINANCE COMMITTEE MEMBERS DID IT. Question of Building ghe Steneture Declded to Be Too Costly for Co At Present—Other cresting Loeal News, The city hall schems, to all intents and purposes, died of strangulation yesterday afternoon at the hands of the finance com mittes, to whom was referred at the last council meeting, the ordinance proviaing for the submission to the voters of a proposition to appropriate the sum of $150,000 for the purpose of erecting a hall. The committee held a, meeting at the ofiice of City Attorney Stewart, at which all the members of the council were present, The chairman pre sonted a report which had been agreed upon oy the committee, in which it was stated that it had been found+ upon investigation that the question of building a city ball was not feasivle at the present time, from the fact the issuing of bonds to the amount of £150,000 would increase the bonded indebtea ness of the city to something like £10,000 ve- yond the limit'allowed by the constitution of the state, This report was submitted to the other members of the counvil who were present, and thoroughly discussea. Although no formal action was taken. it was evident that a largo part of the council coincided with the members of the committee in their views, and the port will probably be adopted at the meeting of the council tomorrow evening, unless enough pressure can be brought by friends of the hall scheme to bear upon the other members of the council to prevent such action from being taken, If thoe report of the committee is adopted it will virwually kill the cicy hall idea alto- gether, from the fact that during the last few weelks the conviction has become preva- lent that to spend anything less than $150,000 on a hall would be a” waste of monoy, and that it is hetter to worry along in the same old way than to buila » new ball that would not be a credit to the ci It is being suggested py those who are en- thusiastically in favor of building a new hail that there is one way of avoiding the trouvle arising from the constitutional limit of in- debtedness, and that is by raising the assessed valuation of property. This, while not increasing the amount of taxes, would decrease the percentage of indebtedness, and thus bring Council Bluffs into line with the other prosperous cities of the country. That the city is in such a financial condition as to be able to stand the comparatively slight strain of floating $150,000 worth of twenty-year bonds is thought to be amply shown by the fact that its indebtedness has been reduced during the past year to the amount of 0,000, besides which arrange- ments nave been made for the further reduc- tion to the extent of twice as much more during the coming year.

Hacnan, wealthy real estate man of Dotroit and a brother of C. R. Hannan of this city. He was last seen at the Cadillac hall 1 De- troit at 10 o'clock at night, and where ho went when he loft thero is not known. As soon as his disappearance was learned here €. R. Hannan telegraphed to the wife of the missing man asking if anything had hap- pencd to his brother. Early yesterday morn ing he received a telegram bearing his brother’s signature and stating that he was safe at home, Something in the way the message was worded, however, led him to thinis that everything was not' quiet right, and he belicved the telegram to have been sent by Mrs, Hannan in order to_allay his fears in the hope that her busband would be found before the true state of affairs should become known. The theory of abduction is the one that roceives the most credeuce. Mr. Hannan hus amassed a large fortune in the last ten vears, and he would therefore bo a shining mark for any one who wanted to got a ran- som. He was in the habit of wearing a number of valuavle jewels, which might have excited the greed of some of the high- waymen that do a lucrative business in De- ,troit. Some time ago he was waylaid on the street, slugged and robbed, and it was thought very likely that he might have met with a similar encounter this time, He has visited 1n Council Bluffs on a number of occasions, and has many friends who will ba 1mterested in the latest news of him. Information received late last evoning was to the offect that Mr, Hannan had_returned home safe and sound after an absence of twenty-four bours. He told his friends that he had been induced to leave Detroit at 11 o'clock at night, and claims to have dropped a lettor in the postoffice for his wife just bofore his departure. He declines to mention any reasou for his strange actions, and his friends ave at a loss to explain them. —_— Jaryis wild blackberry is the bast e Frult Growers In Session, The Pottawattamie County Fruit Growers and Gardeners association met 1n regular mouthly session yesterday afternoon. Mr. Alex. Wood read a paper on the pruning of grapes. The association by resolution en- dorsed the candidacy of P. P. Kelly, pres- ident of the Mills county society, as super- intendent of horticnlture for the state of Iotva in the coming World’s fair. Arrange- meuts were mado for a special meeting to be held next Saturday for the purpose of organ- izing a grape growers association. One of the main objects of next Saturday’s meeting is to form an organization for the purpose of establishing a cold storage ware- bouse. An establishment of this kind is a necessity to a region where so much fruit is grown as in Pottawattamie county, and the fruit growers have been coming more and more to the conclusion that the time has come for an organized effort to be made, Ne- are already pending for the rent. ing of Green's packing house during the coming seasou us & place to mako the experi- ment, and after one year's trial it is ex- pected that the frait growers will have found out what will be necessary.

It has saved those who have taken advantage of its offer from the unconscionable charges of the rogular claim agents, and has benefited tho others by forcing the agents to demand only moderate fees in order to get business. Tho long delay over the passage of the act had given the claim agonts time to make con- tracts thut would give them the lion's sharo of the appropriation. Many of the claimants had veen induced tosign contracts guaranteo- ng the agent from one-third to over 50 per cent of the claims in case they were allowed, The depredations act annulled these extor- tionate contracts und set the limit of agents’ fees ut 15 ver cent, to be ncreased in certain cases to 20 per cent on the order of the court of claims, But so many complaints were made of the action of the agents, and s0 many inquiries for a reliable agent were sent to this oftice, that it was decided to establish a bureau under the dixect charge of Tue Ber to pro- ect its subscribers and give thom the bene- fits of the law at tho lowest possible charges. Tle buresu has more than justified its es- tablishmedt. It has attended to the claims of alarge number of the sufferers by the iny diun raids in the west, Tt is downg the work at 5 to 12 per cent, tAking in many instances nly the uctual cost of pushing the claim, A most of those who ‘lost™ their property rough the Indian ydids are persons of small means who colild riot goto Wasnington themselves, the estanlishment of the bureau where thoy can be cortain of exact and just treatment has reached: those who needis most. b g The persons who have suffered losses from the Indians since Jupe I, 1866, will do woll to rememboer, however, that the time witnin which claims can bepresonted is limited, 1t they are not put,in within the appointed time they aro forever appred. Moreover tue court of claims goes o the plan, “first come, first served,” und 1t pahooves sufferers to place thoir clai ns befora, the proper authori- tics at an early date, The contracts made before the passage of the act have, us stated, been unnulled by con- gress.

Term of Patent. A patent is granted for seventeen during excipsive right to make, use and sell patented invention. How to Proceed, For economic reasons beforo making ap- plication to the patent oftice for a patent, the novelty and patentability of the inven- tion should bo ascertained, because, if tho invention is not new or not patentable an unnecessary expense is icurred by filing an application on whicu a putent can never be granted, ete, Tho first_thing to be done is to find out whether or not the invention is noew and patentable. For advice on the point it is necessary to send to the bureau a rough or complete sketch ora_photograph of the invention, to- gother with a brief description thereof, Sotting forth tho object of the improve ments, the arrangement of the parts and the advantages attained. While a modei is very seldom neccssary, yot it is often of great assistance. The latier can be made of years, which time the owner has sole and the | Bluffs and 1321 Farnam St any cheap material, ar.d will be returned 1f & request is made to that effect. Upon receipt of the data mentioned suffic- ient to enable the invention to be understood our counsel will at once examine thereinto, and will advise without charge what is the best course to pursue and will express an opinion, from theiwr knowledge of the arts and patents already geanted, as to the patent- ability of the invention, In this conuection it is recommeonded that the best und safest course is to have a special search made in the patent oftice to ascertain whether or not the invention has been heretufore patented. The advantage of such a search is that if no anticipating patent is discovered the application can be filed with a greater ddcree of certainty, wheroas if the invention is found to be old all further ex- pense is avoided. The cost of a search of this nature is 5, and with the report of the result theraof the inventor will be furnished with copies of such patents, if any, as em- brace his ideas. It is much better to have this search made in the outset before incur- ring any expense whatever regarding the ap- plication for patent. If1tis found that hefinvention is new and patentablo the clientis advised to proceod with the filing of an application for patent, and will then be requested to remit $I5 to cover tho first government feo and $5 in payment of cost of drawing, when ono is necossar As soon as possible after the receipt of this remittance the specification of the invention will be carefully prepared and forwarded to the inventor, together with forms for apptication for patent ready for execution. Upon return of the latter the case will be promptly fiied at the patent office and notice will be sent when action is had there- on, and also of the nature of such action, The examining corps of the patent oftice is divided into thirty-two divisions, among which the applications are divided accord ing to the ofticial classification. The condition of the work in the various divisions varies trom one to five months in arrears. The Bureau Charges, Consistent with the spirit with which this bureau was formed, it is not intended to conduct any branch’ of the business ou a mouey making basis, but it is proposed to do the work as near the actual costas will pro- tect the business from loss. Although counsel are retained at heavy expense to the bureau, yeu it is the wish to charge in ordinary cases only the minimum’ fee of $25. However, in cases requiring extra care, time and labor the fee will be proportionately increasea, but clients will always be advised in advance should such increase of fee be found neces- sary. In directing inquiries either to our Omaha or Washington office please mention the fact that you read these instructions in Tue Beg, X Design Patents, A patent for a design is granted to any person who has invented or procured any new and original design for the printing of woolen, silk, cotton or other fabrick; any new and original impression, ornament, pat- tern, print or picture to be printed, painted, cast'or otherwise placed on or worked into any article of manufacture: or auny Low, useful and original shape or configuration of any article of manufacture, the same not having been known or used by others before his invention or production thereof, or pat- ented or described in any printed publica. tion, Patents for designs are grantea for the term of three and one-half yeavs, the government fee being $10; or for seven years, the feo being §15; or for fourteen years, the fee being §30. The charge of the bureyu in such cases is usually $2 Relssu A patent can bo reissuod whenever tho same |s inoperative or 1uvalid by reason of a defectivo or insuflicient specification, or by reason of the patentee's claiming move than be had a vight to claim as new, providing the error has arisen by accident, mistake or in advertence, ana without fraudulent intent. ‘The government fee for a reissue is §0. The cost of draw is #, and the bureau charge is usually & eat care must bo exercised in reissuing o patent, because very often what little validity there may be in a defec- tive patent is entirely lost by procuring a re- 15516 which is totally invalid. Rejected Cases, There are in the patent office u great wany cases which stand rejected, but which should be ullowed. This condivion of the case may be due either to incompetency 01 the part of the attorney employed or his inability, bo- cause of residence elsewhora than in Wash- ington, to make the examiner see the inven- tion in its true light; and then, again, as often occurs, vases aro rejectod on ' improper t grounds. Whon so requested we will bave our counsel examine into any | such case free of charge and advise as to the prospects for success by further prosecution, "Tho client will also bo then informed of the probable cost of completion. « s By means of a caveat an_inventor securos rocord evidence regarding his invention for the purpose of enabling him to_complete or further experiment therewith.

Lubels, Labels of all kinds, dosignod to be at- tached to manufactured articles or to bottlo: Doxes, ote., containing them, have herotofora been received for rogistration in the patent ofice and a certificate issued according Under a very recent docision of the supreme court of the United States it is held that there is no authority in law for granting cer- uficates of registration of labels which simply designato or describe the ar- ticles to which they are attached, and which have no value separated therefrom. A label to be entitled to r on must have by itself some value as a composition, at least a8 serving some purpose or cthor than_as a mere designation or advertisement, Many now holding certificatos of registration of la- bels are totally without any protection what- over. Many rogisterod labels comprise sub- ject matter registerable as trademarks. Wherever this is so, or where by aslight change it can bo made to come within the purview of the laws governine tradomarks, registration should be sought under this head.

Interferences. An interferenco is a judicial proceeding in- stituted under tho direction of the commis- sioner of patents to enablo him to de- termine the question of priority of invontion between rival claimants. The bureau, rocoguizing the fact that extraor- dinary care and skill are requisite on the part of an attoruey in charge of a casein in- terferonce, has at' its command counsel pre- pired to conduct a caso in interference from the very inception down to a final determina- tion of the merits of the cause. Tostimony will also be taken undor our_direction in any part of the United States. Whilono specific sum can be set down as applicable to all in- terferenco cases alike, yet the charges will always be as reasonablous possible. Infringements, Thé question whether or not one patent in- fringes another is the very soul of all patent litigation. The questions involved are many, and of ‘the most Intricate nature. It 1s al- ways a matter of such great importance that nd ono should ever claim that another is in- fringing on his rights, or, likewise, no atten- tion should be paid to the claims of infringe- ment by others until the questions involved are carefully passed upon by a reliable at- torney. For such sorvices the charses urc always fair and reasonable, Foreign Pat In addition 1o the bu attending to the incorests of its inventor - rous before the United States patent oftico and courts, it 15 also enabled to procure patents for inventions in all countries of the world. In muny of the forcign coun- notably Canada, Encland and Ger- vatents for inventions previously nts, many, patented in this country avo looked upon | with great favor, and inventors arn there very frequently more likely to realize profits from their inventions than they are even in this country. The cost of foreign patents varies with different cases, but as a general rule the expenses of procuring. patonts, cov ering all charges, is about as follows Canada, 850; England, $0; Germany, $00: France, $35; Spain, $90; Belgium, 860, Ad- ditional information regarding the cost, etc., 1n any foreign country will be furnished by letter on application. ~ In all such requests mention having read those instructions in Tur Bee, { Important Warning It seems remarkable that in this enlight- euned age it bocomes the duty of every re- liable and trust'orthy attoruey in patent matters toadvise his clients to beware of the many sharks who sot out with the ap- parent intention of dofrauding inventors immediately ufter the 1ssue of thoir patents, When a patent appears in the Patent Oftice Gazotte patentees are besot with Innumer- ablo offers, solicitations, requests, ete., some pretending to want to purchase theiv patents, while others offer to take un interest therein under promise of procuving foreign patents. The sole objoct of !hus()Jmupln is to obtain money from inventors, and thoy never make the slightest endeavor to carry out their groundless or worthless promises, Models, As nereinbefore mentioned, models are not required in the patent office except in intri- cato or complicated cases, But at the same time when an invention can be better ex plained by a model it is well to send the same tous. A'model should ulways be of a size not larger than one square foot, and in send- ing the same by express the charges should be prepaid and the box addressed to Bee Brreau or Crants, o Building, Omah | Mention this paper.] T THE INDIAY CLALIY, Tue Bee Buneau of Crarvs, In dealing with the claims avising under tho Indian depradations act, has been succossful in pro- tecting a largo number of subscribors aud others from extortion and loss. Ecom com- plaints that have come to it, however, it ap- pears that many of the claimants do not un derstand their position under the act, At a time when there appoared to be littlo chance that congress would take up the claims or make any appropriation to pay them, they signed contracts with the Washington agents, promising from oue-quarter to one-haif the amount to the agent in case the money should bo collected. In view of this extortion con- gress iusorted a provision in the act aunul- ing all contracts and umiting the agents commission to 15 or 20 per oant, The claimants ail probably understand that theagent's commission has been limited by the law, but many of them, according to their own statomonts, do not understand that they are froe to do as they please about employing the agent thoy had first chosen. They con sidor that they are still bouna to employ the agent with whom thoy signed the exor bitaa contracts whother thoy are satisiad wiid bim oF not. 1t was the Inzention of congress to protect them at ail points and they wore left on the passage of tho act froe to do s thoy pleased and employ whom they pleased. Section 9 of the uct stated: *“That all sales, transfors or assignrients of any such claims heretofore or hereafter made, oxcept such as have occurred in the due administration of docedents’ es tates, and all contracts heretofore made for fees and allowaucos 1o claimants’ attoruoys are heraby declared voic.
