Among the cases decided by the state su- preme court Thursday was that of the Citi- zens' State bank of St. Louis against John T Stewart of this city. The property Involved was a twenty-acre tract of land located just south of Fairmount park, which was for- merly owned jointly by Stewart and Thomas A. Walker. After Walker became insolvent the bank bought his half from the holder of the sherifl’s deed, while Stewart secured the same half by an action in partition. The bank thereupon commenced suit against Stewart, alleging fraud, Stewart claiming defense that the petition in the suit which finally gave the bank its title did not de- scribe the land in controversy, so that he was not charged with notice. The petition itself was lost. On trial in the district court of this county Stewart was given a judg- ment. Flinckinger Bros,, who represented the bank, thereupon appealed the case to the supreme court and the decision of the lower court Is now reversed and the bank is kiven possession of the land. The value of the property in controversy is estimated well up in the thousands.

No wind blew and there was conse- quently no drifts, or travel would have been interfered with much more than it was. The motor trains running between Omaha and Council Bluffs were considerably de- layed during the early part of the day. Many of the stroots in the city which are plenti- fully supplied with shade trees looked like plctures from fairy land, and Bayliss park, particularly, formed a charming sight, with the limbs arching over the walks and each one carrying a heavy load of snow that al- must broke it down, making the whole scene look as If it had been struck to marble dur- ing the night Kodaks were frequently seen in the hends of enthusiastic amateurs who were anxious to get views of their homes be- fore the scenes faded away.

NEWS FROM COUNCIL BLUFFS | Peculiar Litigation Growing Out of an Ex- ocessive Tax Levy. SPECULATORS WANT THE MONEY REFUNDZD : Pottawattamie County Citizens Appeal to thé Legislature to Legalize the Aot of the Supervisors Creating the Debt: 8hea & Galvin have filed a petition in the 4 superior court asking for a judgment of about $11,000 against Potawattamie county on account of an illegal levy which was made in ‘the years 1888, 1889 and 1890 for general purposcs. Mentlon of this was made eral weeks ago, when the gentlemen above referred to presented their claim to the Board of Supervisors only to have it rejected. Owing to an oversight or ignorance of the provisions of the law the Board of Super- visors during those three years levied a tax of 6 mills on the dollar for general purposes, when the limit was 4 four mills, Shea & Galvin have bought up a large number of claims from various taxpayers and will now sue the county. An effort is being made to sccure the passage of a bill introduced by nator Groneweg in the senate which will the action of the supervisors legal, 1 that 8. B.

BOARD OF HEALTH. Immediately after adjournment the council met as a Board of Ilealth, to take action with reference to the notice recently sent out by the State Board of Health to the local boards all over the state, directing that lmmediate action be taken o see that all who cannot furnish good evidence of pro- tection from smallpox be required to be vaccinated. There scemed to be some un- certainty as to whether the state board bhad authority to compel the people (o be vac- cinated, or to compel the county to pay elwhite, calling attention by the Mis- physicians fees for vaccinating those who cannot or will not pay thelr own dictere It was accordingly decided that the cleric should write to Des Moines and find what had been done by tho Board of Hualth ot that city, in order that thy hoard here night have a gwds to Its Prare uction. City Physician Macrae called the attention of the board to the difficulty of getting store- keepers to fill the orders of those under quarantine with precision. “One of the women ordered a can of cove oysters and got a can of peaches,” said he. ‘“‘Another o dered a dozen lemons and got a clothesline, and everybody laughed. Marshal Templeton explained that he had been unable to get the oysters and sent peaches instead, but hLe knew better than to think that anything ap- proximating lemon pie could be made out of clothesline, and he could not account for it being delivered excepting on the ground that it must have been taken to the wrong house by mistake. Cook Gets a Verdlet, The Jury in the case of Cook against Snell which was on trial in the district court, took it under advisement yesterday morning and after a short absence from the court room returned with a verdict for Cook, and fixed the amount of his damage at $30. G W. Cook, the plaintiff, is an old soldier and attended the Grand Army encampment at Washington last spring. When he re- turned home he found his wife had d a lot of their household goods and gone to Chicago to live. Snell was the purchaser, and Cook immediately commenced proceed- ings to get the missing property back. The case of Bloom against Nielsen fs now on trial. Both parties are residents of the eastern part of the county.

An Exciting Adventure Related in Good Dictionary Words. Deing easily exsuscitated, and an amnico- list fond of inescating fish and broggling, with an ineluctable desire for the amolition of care, says a_writer In St. Nicholas, I took a punt and*descended the river in a snithy gale. The water being smooth I felt 1 could venture with incolumity, as I was familiar with the obuncous river. Having broggled without result, I rowed toward an_eyot intending merely to quid- dle, when I suddenly saw a hackee. Wish- ing to capture him 1 decided to circumnavi- gate and take him unaware. Landing I derncd myself where I could see the hackee deracinating grass. He discovered me and skugged behind.a tree, occasionally protrud- ing his noll Seizing a stick T awaited the caput. When the neb appeared I feagued him. The hackee, which is pedimanous, tried to climb the bole. He seemed sheepish, and I suspected him of some michery, especially as his cheeks seemed ampullaceous. I caught him by the tail and he skirled Though he was sprack 1 held on with red- dour, and tried finally to sowle him. The hackee looked soyned and tried to scyle. I belabored him and he cleped, making vigorous oppugnation, and evidently longing for divagation. Then a pirogue approached and an agri- cultor landed. This distracted the hackee and 1 sowled him, but dropped Lim because he scratched so. I vowed to exungulate him when caught. Borrowing a fazzolet over the hackee's head, as a moans of oc- ceation. The agricultor aided. He was not attractive, seeming crapulous and not unlike plcaroon. He had a siphunculated dinner pail, which looked as if he had been batter- ing 1t whil® pugging. But with a stick and I tried to vend it some string he made a gin and tried to make the hackee bisson. This caused quinching by the hackee, who seized the coudjutor’s hallux. Thus exasperated, th agricultor captured the hackee without any migniardise; but he glouted over the bite, and his rage was not quatied until the hackee was a lich. Carrying it to the punt, T sank into a queachy spot which delayed me until the gale obnubilated the sky. While removing the pelage I found the lich somewhat olid because the swinker had feagued the hackee, and so I yended the lich away, went to market and supped upon a spitehcock and a hot bisk. R S LINCOLN’S MAIDEN SPEECH. It Was Short and Simple and Went Straight to the Point. A citizen of Buffalo has found among his papers an account of the circumstances under which Abraham Linccln made his maiden speech. It was originally printed in the Springfield (11L) Republican, and is as fol- lows: “The president of the United States made his maiden speech in Sangemon county at Pappasville (or Richland) in the year 1832. He was then a Wlig and a candidate for the legislature of this state, His speech is sharp and sensible. To understand why it was so short the following facts will show: (1) Mr, Lincoln was a young man, say 22 years of age, and timid. (2) His friends and oppo- nents in the joint discussions had rolled the sun nearly down. Lincoln saw it was not the proper time then to discuss the questions fully, and hence he cut his remarks short. Probably the other candidates had wholly exhausted the subjects under discussion. The time, according to W. H. Herndon's informant—who has kiadly furnished this valuable reminiscence for us—was 1832; it may have been 1831. The president lived at the time with James A. Hurdon, at Sa- lem, Sangamon county, who heard the speech, talked about it, and knows the report to be correct. The speech, which was char- acteristic of the man, was as follows: ““Gentlemen, Fellow Citizens: I presume know who I am. I am humble Abraham Lincoln. I have been solicited by my friends to become a candidate for the legislature. My 'politics are short and sweet, like an ‘‘old woman's dance.” I am in favor of a national bank. I am in favor of the international improvement sys- tem and a high protective tariff. These are my sentiments and political principles. It elected 1 will be thankful. If defeated it will be all the same. A R S Acquitted on the Third Trial. CRAWFORDSVILLE, Ind., Feb. 9.—Bd Brown, the alleged train robber who has been on trial here charged with an attempt to rob an American express car on the Big Four road August 11 last, was this morn- ing on a third trial acquitted. Brown, who claims to be a tramp, was shot by the train- men, and for a time was thought to be fataily wounded. He will now sue for damages. —————— Robbers Use Torture, BARBOURSVILLE, Ky. Feb. 9.—On Leatherwood creek, Cumberland county, last night three robbers entered the home of James Clayton and, after gagging the family, fired pistols close to his head, choked him and finally stuck his feet in the fire until they were burned to a crisp.

It is strongly con- tended that such a law would fulfill all the requirements of the thirteenth plank. The, woman suffragists have scored a sig- nal victory in the senate by securing the committee approval of their various suffrage bills and having a special t t for their consideration. This has been done largely as a matter of courtesy, Chairman Palmer of the committee says, and in no sense in- dicates what the action of the senate may be on these measures. In the senate today bills were introduced: Andrews, putting all fraternal benevolent ce societies under the jurisdiction and control of the auditor of state; by Ellis, pro- viding for regulating the administration of trusts by savings banks and trust companies the same as by trustees and natural persons by Olezon, providing for courts of arbit-ation; joint resclution for the removal of the State university from lowa City to Des Moines, by Senator Phelps. The following bills- were passed: By Rowen, to protect bottling establishments in the use of trade marks; by Waterman, mak- ing the poll books the basis of registration and requiring all persons who neglect to vote to register each year. The following bills were introduced in the house: By Byers, authorizing courts to ap- point attorneys for absent minor heirs, lega- tees and creditors in probate proceedin, by Dowell, authorizing ¢ities of the first class to pay for viaducts out of the bridge fund; by Sowers, prohibiting bank officials from loan- ing more than $5,000 at any one time to one party without the written consent of two- thirds of the board of directors, A bill requiring the use of the interlocking switch at railroad crossings was reported for passage; also the Wyckoff valued policy in- surance bill. ‘The house passed the Sawyer bill exempting poultry from attachment to the value of $100 and for the printing and distribution of the report of Iowa Academy of Sciences. The Yeomans senate bill, author- izing cities of the first class to aid in con- struction of combination railroad and wagon bridges across navigable rivers, was made a special order for Tuesday. The house con- curred in the senate resolution urging the completion of the Hennepin canal. MAY PROVOKE A MOB. Condition of the Cass County Bank Liable to (ause Trouble. DES MOINES, Feb. 9.—(Special Telegram to The Bee.)—A prominent citizen of At- lantic, who was in Des Moines today, says the magnitude of the failure of the Cass County bank is just becoming known. He says the report of the receiver, which is now nearly completed, will not show suf~ ficlent assets to pay the trust funds that were in the hands of the bank, and that all other depositors will lose every dollar they had in the bank when the doors closed. He says that if the report does show this state of affairs, the cashier and president will be lynched by the infuriated people; that violence has only been prevented by those who desired to conserve the peace, and who wanted to wait until the assignee had made his report.

P — MR. WORTHINGTON'S MISTAKE. sed the Wrong Man of Having Stolen His Roll of Bills. Thursday night the patrol wagon called to Eleventh and Farnam streets and when it returned a sight met the gaze of the officers whose duty it fs to care for all way farers wh me thelr way The corridor door opened and in sprightly was may ¢ stepped a very pretty blonde with flowing golden hair. But that was not all. In came another and then a well dressed, good look ing man brought up the rear. They were a sight. Thelr clothes were torn, the women's halr disheveled, the man had lost his neck- tie in the shuffle and his clothes looked the worse for the usage they had received. The threo were covered with mud from head to foot and the women wailed loud and long for the sad ending of the night's pleasure They gave their names as C. J. Worthing- ton, Mrs. C. J. Worthington and Grace Ir vine. The cause of their grief was soon made known. In the early evening before the moon was up two young men and two young women decided to congregate for a genuine evening’s pleasure. They would go to a dance, then to supper and by that time it would be late and they wouid wind up the evening with sweet thoughts of how nicely it had been spent But they went to the wrong place for the dance, at least it was the wrong place for them. Down at Fritz Wirth's there is a dance in progress nightly, to which you may g0 without a gilded invitation. Thither they went and they were having the nicest kind of a time. What was wanting on the danc ing program was supplicd at the bar and they were getting along pretty well to that state which borders on the angelic when Mr. Worthington suddenly discovered he had lost or had his pocketbook stolen. No one had seen it, nobody knew anything as to where it had gone and finally Mr. Worth ton concluded it d been stolen. So con vinced was he of this that he at once ap- proached the other gentleman of the party and laid the crime at his door. Well, if he had placed vne of those can- non crackers under the man he would T have succeeded in arousing his ire so thor. oughly. You're a lar, bang, ‘“and I'll teach you to accuse me of takin your pocketbook,” biff, bang, thud, and both men rolled in the gutter. The women came t Worthington's assistance, but to no purpose as the man had already setted Worthing- ton, and in order to nicely compicte the job he ‘stacked the women in the gutter wit Worthington. Then he made his escape but the loud noise brought a patrol wagon and a policeman to the scene, and the three were taken to the station and charged with disturbing the peace by fighting, but the un- known was nowhere to be found. Later the pocketbook containing $20 was found on Mrs. Worthington. Mrs, Worthington and Grace Irvine were each fined $2 and costs in police court yes- terday. Mr. Worthington paid $7.50 for his conneetion with the affair. bifr, AFTER TE News of the Wreck shire Com of the Missin to Hand at I oray. st VANCOUVER, B. C., Feb. 9.—By the ship British General, which has just arrived from Java, news is brought of the ship- wreck of a large vessel on a reef off Warren Hastings islands. The ship passed there December 4 and was boarded natives by who reported that ten moons before a large English ship was wrecked and all hands drowned. The kingof the natives brought a Natal quadrant Which the ship captain bought for a plug of tobacco. It bears the name, “W. Weichol, Cardiff,” as maker. The British ship Morayshire, which sailed for this port with a cargo of raw sugar and was never heard of, should have been near this spot about the time of the wreck. It is thought the fate of the vessel has now been settled and the mystery solved regard- ing her disappearance. ——————— Blizzard Raging In Kansas.
