DIED IN THE HARNESS, Western Iowa Loses One of Its Oldest Min- Isters of the Congregational Faith, In thedeath of Rev. John Todd, which toole place at Tabor last Thursday, the Con- gregnllum\}churx'h of western Towa lost one of its emriess advocates and staunchess supporters. He was well known throughout the state and particularly 1 this vicinity, naving been born in 1818 and been pastor of the church at Tabor since the spring of 1852, The suddenness with which the end came caused o profound shock to the people who have known him and his work. He had often expressed a desire to go suddenly an 10 bo spared the pain of a long and lingering illness. On Thursday he was circulating a petition to the logislature asking that the prohibition hquor law be not repealed or modified, Just as he had taken the sig- nature of one of the ladies of the church he threw up his hands and fell to the floor. Ho died an instantancous and painle: death, During the last ten years his age had made it impossible for him'to do all the work that naturally devolved on the pastor, and an assistant had to be appointed, al- though Mr. Todd was the nominal pastor up 1o the day of his death. The death of this pioneer leaves Rev. (. Rice of this city the oldest Cong tional pastor in the Western low: tion, Hecame here abous eighteen months after Mr. Todd, and is now the only sur- vivor of the original association. He was -yery properly catled upon to conduct the funeral excrcises and did so last Sunday, an audience of fully 1.000 people being present, 10 testify to the respect in which the de- ceased was held. Mr.” Rice is still hale and hearty nud bears fow of the evidences of his age. His many friends here hope to see him remain_the oldest minister of his de- nomination in western lowa for many years to come.

NEWS FROM COUNCIL BLl'lTS Pottawattamie County People Declars fora Regulated Saloon, COMMITTEE WILL GO TO DES MOINES Business M to Ren ity th ® Certaln K i the Republicans Party Pledges and Mod- Prohibitory Law to tent, 1f the republicans in the Iowa lezisliture do not get togother und pass a law repealing or modifying the present liquor law, it will be evident to everyone that they have not the slightest concorn about what the people in the cities of the state think of them, A concerted action has been begun with a view to bringing them to a realization of the fact that the people living fn the centers of population are determined to have o change, and that it they cannot get it from tho republican party this year they will what they can do the next time a legislature is clected Nearly, if not quite, every city of any sizo in the state is taking part in the movement, and this week and next there will be a de- luge of anti-prohibitianmsts descend upon the capital city, all prepared for peace or for war. Council Bluffs got into line last night. Tn response to the announcenient made in the papers tho republicans of the city to the number of about 150 gathered at the court house to do some anti-prohibition talking nd resolving. It wasnot a very cheorful crowd, for every one felt that the republi- ean party was on the eve of being betrayed. But it was intensely in carncst, Mr. Hazolton called the meeting to order nd stated that ivs objees was to take some ction toward the repeal or modification of the prohibitory law. The republicans of Pottawottamie couaty went into the last ampnign on a_modification platform and were now justifled by carances in bestir ring themselves to prevent any breach of good faith on the part of the members of the islature. “All of us," said he, “are dissatisfied with the present control, or lack of control, of the liquor trafic and 'we ave ready for arrangement that will change the present condition of affairs,” WOOD'S ELECITON APPLAUDED. Alexander Wood was chosen chiirman and was greeted by applause as_he took the the judge's beneh,” Dr. V. L. Treynor was elected secretary. A committeo on resolu- tions was appointed, consisting of Messrs. N. M. Pusey, A. S. Hazzlton and Theodore Guittar. While the committee was out drafting its vesolutions Dr. O. W. Gordon mado a speech by request of thoso present. He said the republican party was in a mar nec on trial before the people of Iowa. He had but little use for any man who would willfully and deliberately go back on his word, and the party thav would do the same thing would descrvedly sink in the estimation of the people. He devoutly wished that every saloon could be wiped out of existence, but the presant law, while successful in many paris of the state, had_certainiy been a failure in Council Bluffs, In the mterest of true tomperance a chanze ought to bo made and a law enacted that would enable vlaces like Coun- cil Bluffs to regulate what it could nov pro- hibit and the repubiican party was under oblizations to do this. At this point Chaivman Pusey of the com- mittee on resolutions read the report. couched i the following lanzuage “We, the republicans of Pottawattamic county, in mass convention assembled, in the interest of the growth and development ol the resources of our county, in the interest of the republican party of this state and with a view to promote respect for public law and in the interest of temperance and morality, hereby declare: 1t is'an undisputable hibitory law has been an utter and absolute failure in many localities of this state, and especially in the large centors of population. Council Blufls and many of the towns in this county being among the number. *That in these localities the prohibitory law has resulted in the saloon being di- vested of all control and regulation, and in many instances with the most demoralizing accompaniment of the wine room. “That each year of the existence of this law has, in these localities, bequeathed to its successor the suloon in greater perma- and with increased demoralizing at- tachinents, “That the failure of this law in these com- munities is not attributablo to the courts, nor to those charged with its enforcement, but to the well known sentiment and firm convicrion upon the part of the great ma- jority of the citizens that it is not the proper, fair #md most just way to deal with the liquor question . *“That no luw can be of effective state-wide operation, which is in opposition to the senti- ments and well seitled convictions of a greay majority of the citizens of the respective sub-aivisions of the state. and for this rea- son guch attempted lezislation is productive of far more harm than good.” RELIED ON THEIR PARTY. “That the republicans of Towa, in_conven- n ussembled in Lhe summer of 1803, sce- ing, kaowing and believing the above facts, after declaring in their platform vhat pro: hibition is no test of reublicanism, in- structed its members in the lezislature to pass such & law as would maintain the pro- hibitory law in those portions of the stite where it was enforced and made effective, ana as would give to other localitics such methods of controlling and regulating the liquor trafiz as will bast serve the cause of temperance and morality, thus abandoniug state-wide proliibition and clearly announc- ing that in those portions of the state where pronibition had not been enforced it_should be made lawful to sell intoxicating liquors, under wise and proper regulations, and with such safeguards as would eradicate the freo and uncontrolled saloon as we now have it. ““That, relying on the good faith of the republican party, and believing that it would make zood its pledges to the people of the entire state if entrusted with power, wo entered the campaign of last fall, and gave the vespective republican candidates our united and energetic support, reducing ( ernor Boles’ majorly in 1801 of 1,658 down to 81 “IResolvad, That we prefer the legalized saloon, regulated, controlled and hedged about with proper safozuards, to the uslaw- ful, uncontrolled and luwless' saloon as it now exists under the prohibitory law. “ltesolved, That the right to manufacture should follow the right to sell, and that in all localities where it is made lawful to sell ‘intoxicating liquors’ within the meaning of the law, it should be made lawful there, to manufacture them, to the end that the large sums of money be retained in our state, which would otherwisegoabroad, aud to the end that the products ol oursoil which enter into the manufactured article shouid find a market at home *IResolved, That we demand that the re- publican party, through its represeatatives in the logislature of Iowa, should make gooil the pledges iu its platform, as well to those loculities where the prohibitory law had not been enforced, and the unbribled and uncon- trolled saloon existed; as to those local ities where prohibition had been enforced and made eoffcctive, and whilst we ave will- ing the pledge tothe prohibitionists should be mude good we demand from it that the pledges on this subject to us bo redeemed by the prompt passage of un equitable and cace- fully guardea local option law. We make this demand in the name of honesty und fair dealing, and we make ivin the intorest of morality and temperance. Tho measure we aro ‘\\Hlluu o mete to others, let it be meas- ved o us. . Resolved, That a committee of ten be ap- pointed, with iustructions to go to -Des Moines with these resolutions aud thero use overy honorable endeavor o procure the en actment of a law that will carry out the pro- visions of tho repubhican platform and in accardance with tnese resolutions. My, Pusey followed tho reading with a fow romarks 1 which hoe called attention to the provisions of the republican state plat- form and to the fact that he and multitudes of otker republicans bad worked and voted for the success of the purty on the supposi- tion thaut the platform meant what it said in plain terms. Now, it scems there are re publicuns in the legislature so unfaw and dishonest ax 1o put or: entirely diferent con- struciions on the platforw frow that given act that the pro- THEE OMAHA DAILY BEE: | botore election, and such men should bo given to understand that honest republicans resonted this reckloss violation of their word. Tho resolutions were enthusiastio- ally adopted. Spencer Smith was then called for. od history to show that the first local option law ever on the statute boolks of Towa was put there by the republican party 80 that such a way of dealing with the que tion could not be calted unrepublican. He traced the history of the famous “thirteenth plank’ of the platform and wound up his re- marics by urging tne legislators to keep their word. Mr, Hazelton recommended that the com- mittee of ten that was tq go to Des Moineg 1o wrestle with the legislalors be composad of the following gentlemen: Spencer Smith, N. M. Rusey, L. W. Ross, John Lindt, E. L Shugart, A, T. Flickinger, George . nt, 15 F. Test, Alexander Wood, J. H. Aver. Mr. Ross stated that before he consented to have his name put upon the commit- tee hie wanted one change made in the pro- amble, ‘Thie greatost danger about the pres ent condition of things was the constant dis respect of the law, In the original draft of the resolutions no raference was made to this phase ot the ¢ id he wanted the change made. His suggestion met with the approval of the and the change was made. RIOTOUS STRIKERS, and Make Trouble i, Tee Haulers Quit Wor for t There was trouble among the fce men northwest of the city yesterday and the day before, and for a time it looked as though there might be a biz riot. A. B. Nicholas has had over 100 teams em- ployed clitting and hauling ice from theriver to his ico honses, ona of which is loc near the Novthwestern roundhouse and the other farther up town. Ho has paid 50 cents aload for ice delivered arn the first named house and 70 cents for the other. Monday the men came to the conclusion that they were not getting enouzh for their work, and they demanded 75 cents and 81 a load respee- tively, This demand was refused and the trouble commenced. The disaffacted onss bagan men who persisted in wor wages, and during the day were sev- eral tights, in which facas wero seratchel and eyos blacked galora. [t was hoped. how- ever, that the men would change their minds id was summoned from intimidate the old to at day morniny the disturbance was rencwed. Most of it seom2a to bx raised by about fifteen or tweaty man, while thy ros would have hoen willing to work hud it not bren for the threats made by tnelr compan- fons. Mr. Nicholas was called vile names when he refused to raise the pay, and then he became stubborn and declared that he would not pay them another cent if ho had to put a side track in and carry his ice down by railvoad. So the leaders of the strike proceeded to blociado the road in ovder to prevent the others from passing. ‘I'he road in many " places 18 {ust wide enouh for teams to pass single file, 50 it was compara- tively easy for one team to stop twenty-five. Those who were not willing to be stopped were gaickly brought to terms by being told that i they persisted in working their wagons would be tipped over. The leaders also pelted the workers with mud and blocks of ice. i troublo at last became so bad Sheriff Nazen was, on for assis He took his jailer, Mack Goodwin, wit and by a little judicious blufing m gevthe refractory fellows to go home. He spent the entire day there, and although tiie men were, for the most part, peaceable when they thought their being otherwise mighit cause their avrest, 4 $0on as his bick was turned the trouble would be renewed. By evening the strilers had been induced to £0 away, but the amount of work that was done all day long was very small. Five teams. who keptat it in spite of delays, macle £250 each, which is consilercd very good wages n times like these. The sheri® does not look for a reaowal of hostilities today and will not go out unless sent for. Republican City Convention.

The mcasure has not yot been presented to the full committee for ap- proval, but it is conceded by both elements that it will receive the cndorscment of at least nine of the fifteen mombers of the com- mittee on suppression of intemperance and will be formally ntroduced in the senate some time during the week, The nine mem- bers of the committee who are expected to approve the bill are: Funk, Bliis, Harmon, Harsh, Waterman, Oleson, Mattoon, Groi weg and Downey, the four last named being democrats, The dissenting report will be signed by Boardman, Turner, Conaway, Jamison, Car- peuter aad Upton, all vepublicans, The two Iatter, however, are “open to conviction,” and should they go over to the maJority the passage of the bill throuzh the senate will be almost assured. The bill isa substitute for tho Harsh mulet bill and preserves sov- eral of the leading featurés of that measure.

Sawyer of \Woodbury has mtroduced a bill for ths purpose, reading as follows “\Whenever in any proceedings in any court of this state to subject the wagos duo any person to garniskment it shall appear thatsuch person is & nou dent of the state of lowa; Lhat the wages earncd by him were earned and payable outside the state of Towa, the said person, whoso wages are so sought to be subjected to garnishment, shull be allowed the same cxemption as is at tho time allowed to him by the law of the state 1 which he so resides.” “Tho same member has also introduced a bill providiag for a fine of from i0 to £0 for sending -out of tie state for collection any claim or debt when the debtor is within the jurisdiction of the state courts. In the senate bills were introduced: By Baldwin, providing that mutual assessment life msurance companies shall have printed on the margin a notice in red ink that all the members of such companies wera liable to assessment, also making the revocation of license punishment for violation of the insurance law by companies or agents; by Finn, fixing a schedule or limit to express chary ‘The senate consumed the remainder of its session in eulogies on the life and public services of ex-Senator McCall (deceased) of Story.

THREE BILLE DISPOSED OF The committee on judiciary reported ad- versely on Byers' bill, abolishing capital punishment. “The house indefinitely postponed the bill introduced by Juy, 10 provide payment of fees to city marshals when performing the duty of constables. The senate bill introduced by Turner re- quiring all hotel and restaurant keepers who use imitation butter to conspicuously display a sign “Oleomargarine Used Here,” after lengthy debate, was amended by striking out the cluuse “one-half of fine shall zo to the in- former,” and passed. The penalty is fixed at from $25 t0 8100 fine and not exceeding thirty days imprisoument. The first of series of meetings of joint commitiee of the two houses on sup- pression of intemverance was held tonight, in order, if possible, to reach some conclusion as to the meaniog of thy thirteenth plank in the republican platform. Senator Rower the leader of tho prohibition clement, ad- mitted that it meant *“rlief” for certain lo- calities. but insisted that the modification must be in the 1nterest of “temperance and morality,” and that this part of the pledge could not be carried out by the adoption of any form of license. Hesubmission and the mulet bill, he tnought, would fit_the emer- gency and tide tho party over the presont crisis. No definite'action was taken, Supreme Coupt Decisions.
