BACK FRONM DES MOIN clals —Changes LN Mayor Macrae, Aldermen Pace and Wood, City Attorney Stewart and Surveyor Tosto- vin returned yesterday noon from Des Moines, where they went to attend a meet- ing of the ofiicials of scme of the leuding cities of the state. Most of the time was spent 1 deliberating upon questions on- nected with municipal affairs, aud a number of steps were taken which will be apt to lead to important legislation in the near future, The question of allowing cities bay- Ing a certamn population to levy a tax of 5 mills or less for city lighting purposes was brought up, but & resolution favoring it was defeated, owing to the decided stand taken by tho Bluffs delegation. “In looking around,” saia Mayor Macrae in speaking of this question, 1 find that Council Bluffs is in a much better condition in every way than almost any other city in the state. Many cities are heavily in debt and would like to havo a way invented for ralsing che necessary funds to carry on their running expenses. Wo uro not troubled in ihat way, and so_our delegation opvosed tho lan with all our might, and induced the urlington and several other delogations to look at the thing in our way.” This plan did not work, however, in con- sidering the question of allowing cities to ,levy atax of 5 mills or less for fire pro- tection, for a resolution favoring it was adopted. Ou comparing notes the various mayors found that they had all had trouble in recon- ciling 1o offices of marshal and chief of police, there being considerable friction be- tween the incumbents, A resolution was passed fuvoring the passage of a law uniting the two oftices in one and allowing the chief of police to perform the duties of both, pro- vided his appointment should bs left iu the nands of the mayor and not the people. The Bluffs delegation speak in high terms of the way in which they wore entertained by the people of Des Moines, On Wednesday evening they were entertained atu banguet, an almost unheard of thing in Des Moines, which has a reputation of allowing visitors to ook after themselves as a general thing, ———— Spoopendyke Asthma and he spent thirty-two minutes tryin g to tell his wife to go to thunder and get his bot- tle of Dixon's Asthma Cure, and she (poor thiwe) fluttered around and brought some broth and a bhair brush and things, and Spoopendyke nearly died, but he got the Asthma Cure finally and’ then—well, I'm sorry for hiswife. | Wo huve our own vinoyards in Califor pia.

CHARGES THEM WITH EMBEZZLEMENT Included —What the Are—Ball Furnished Attorney Burke the Larceny Also tions for the Ace Outlines Defense, The grand jury, which has been in sossion for over four weeks, made its second and last report yesierday morning and was dis- charged. The session has been the longest held in this county for years, the cause of the length being the vast amount of business connected with the Kimball-Champ cases, Five indictments were returned against each of the two men, four being for larceny and one for embezzlement. The warrants were served on them at the office of their at- torneys, Burke & Casady, and bail was at once secured, their bond being fixed at $10,- 500 and signed by J. . Kimball, George H. Champ, D. Carrigg, J. J. Shea, C. E. H. Campbell, and James Soguin. In the various inaictments they are charged with embezziing $500 belonging to George Olcott of Charlestown, N. H., and the lat- cony of #2,835.83 from D, W. Archer, of the Keene Five-cont Savings bank: $1,485 from the Littleton, (N. H.), Natlonal bank: $550 from J. C. Teller ot Denver, and 143,000 from the Kimball-Champ Iuvestment com- pany. The defendants claim, with reference to the charge of embezzlemout, that the §500 had been fully paid back to its rightful owner before the case was submitted to the erand jury, and that thoy hold & recoipt for the amount. In regard to the Archer claim and the ciaims of the two bunks, they staie that the shortage is fully covered in the trust deud to the Manhatian and other individual property which they executed on the day they made their assignment, and that the amourts claimed to have been 'stolen repre- sented money that was in the hauds of the Investment company standing as credits on the books, butnot remitted to its owners. 1n connection with the case, Attorney Fin- ley Burke, who represents the defendants, spoke as follows: * It 1s evident from tne indictmentreturned that the complaints uscd before the grand jury,are not of alleged wrongs to our own people, but alleged wrongs to castorn capi- talists. ‘Ihe acts are ucts of the investment company, which, in the nature of thiugs, must have been knnwn to the other oficers and employes of the company. In one case, that of ‘leller, the court has aiready passed on jthe case by making an order on the ro- ceiver of tho Kimball-Champ Investment company to pay the amount out of the assets of the company. The chief charge purports to be made on behalf of the eastern stock- bolders, but we claim that the stockholders have notauthorized such uso of their names, and it is koown that Messrs. Kimball & Champ put in the bands of Mr. Milton Jackson, an houornble man rep- resenting holders of $s9,000 worth of invest- ment compuny stock, for their use and can- celed & 00 5o that the effect is to reduce the stock $i24,000. Wo also claim that this overdraft is greatly exaggerated and that there is nothing criminal 1n it, buta mere mattor of the difference of opinion s to the advisability of building a hotel in Council Bluffs ana that if a mistake it has been more than provided against by the deeds to the company and transfer and canceliation of stock. The compuny had a capital of £300,- 000. If Kimball & Champ surrendered and canceled $124,000, this reduced the stock by that amount so as to make it a company of $1706,000, aud this covers uny impairment of the balance of stock.” In addition to the above indictments were returned as follows: I. G. Tobin, who stole 817 from the pocket of J. Y. Hendricks of shenandoah at the Kiel house, larceny in a .building; William Criss, who stolo $32.50 be- longing to Mrs. Anna Pralor, larceny; E. R. Rowe, embezzling $164 belouging to W. A. Edwards & Co.of Des Moines; William Probstels, selling mortgaged property. It is claimed that Probstele mortgaged a couple of billiard tables to N. Schurz, which after- wards turned out to be tho property of the Ogden livery stable, DeWitt's Littie £ariy risers for the liver.

Frederlck Ps - ren- —His Hopes and Pluns Discusse tu Mr. Frederick Paulding, now playing an engagement at the Boyd theater in *“Tho Struggle of Life,” was an Omaha boy and began his stage work in this city. He is the son of Mrs. Colone! William Irving Dodge, whose husband was second in command at Fort Omaha nearly twenty years ago. Mvr. Paulding has brought to his profes- sional career the enthusiasi of a passionate love, and now, at the early age of 33, he can see the promise of a brilliant and famous future, He has for years been recognized as ono of the best leading men in support of famous stars, and is regarded as one of the likeliest of young American actors. He has already set his mark bigh in tragady, aud his friends predict that he will be the great Booth’s successor, He is tixed by that high ambition, and brings to its achievement the applicatlon of a student and eaceptional abili- ties that are already woll developed, Mr., Pauldicg was supetintending tho set- ting of the cathedral scene in *“The Struggle for Life,” when ak ‘opresentative was presented to him, and he exvlained that his {mnrl was 50 wrapped upin the success of this veuture that e watched every detail in order to give the public a perfect perform- es, I am in a seaso an Omaha boy,” he said in response to an inquiry, “and some of the huppiest days of my boyhood were spent 10 this city, But what a magical change has con.e over Omaha!

The majority of them wore caught in the trap of tho Law and Order league, which has redoubled its efforts since the Into state election. The liquor men were confident. that the proh ibi tory law would be promptiy sopealed by the legislature, and two months ago thoy readily entered into stipulations with the Law and Order lsague that if the proibitory law was not repealed by the Legislature by Fobruary 1 they would appear in the district court and plead guilty to the charge of contempt of court, which carries with it the closing of their places with fine and possiblo imprison- mont. 1f the law should bo repealed they still agread to pay costs of the proceodings that had been begun against them, The agreement at least gave them two months of trecdom. But now tho time has expired, and the Law and Order league is enforciug tho agreement to the letter. The saloon men are forced 1o close or go to jail, and in addition suffer confiscation of all fixtures, cte. Many of them are leaving town to avoid payment of the fines, which tho ploa of guilty fuvolves, tho minimum fine being $300. Even if tho legislature shall repeal tho law it will not bo for some time in the future. 1t looks as if the saloon men would be compelled to give up the fight, and suffer the liquor supply to g0 again into the hands of bootleggers, dive keepers and secrot joints dbad it 1f vou have a cough don't dolay. gerous, cure you.
