Towa duse tices Not Affected The grand jury iIn the United States court returned quite a number of indictments yo terday, and in default of any work to be done on the civil side of the docket Judge V son took up the cases of the parties mo in dicted. Among the number were Emanuel Wellever and Danfel Colburn, both of Clar inda. They had been engaged in the manu facture of nickels out of lead.

Madison, while Colburn was fined $500 and sentenced to a term of twenty months Inspector Matt Stedman, who worked up the case, had in his possession the mould with which the counterfeit coins had been made. The apparatus was of the crudost concelvable form, and went well with the brand of coins turned out by the firm. It consisted of a hard brick, in each side of which a round hole had been dug to the dopth of about a quarter of an inch. A nickel had been laid In one of these holes and melted lead poured around it, thus form ng one side of A mould in which the coins could be cast. In the hole on the other side of the brick the nickel was lald with the other side up, and %o the two halves of the mould were made without much trouble.

See the new art goods at Mrs. Nile: Everybody knows Davis sells drugs, Won't Affect the Justices. Some of the justices of the peace of this city are considerably exercised in mind s @ver the passage of the Waterman law by “the legislature, fixing the maximum com- pensation of justices at $1,200 and of con- stables at $1,000 per annum. They claim S -$hat they make more than that sum each year, and it is not right for the county to Teceive part of their fees so long us they have to pay their office rent and the other s connected with the offices. W. H. expens ‘Ware, who has seen a copy of the bill and examined it carefully, states that the law does mot mean that justices must return all they make over $1,200 per annum, but merely all in excess of that amount in state cases, whero the costs are paid by the county. As there is probably not a justice fn the city who realizes $1,200 a year from his criminal business, it is evident that the justices who are so worried over the pas- sage of the law are losing sleep in vain. The only thing that the lew will do is to provent justices from bleeding the county £ atasting buncombe. sulta, as was the cus. tom among some of them a few years ago, but it will not affect them so long as they slick to legitimate lines.

The committee appointed at the last meet- Ing of the city council to consider the ad- vigability of re Couneil Blufts pany for another last evening at tiy ng the contract with the Slectric Light com- ars held a meeting office of Alderman Nich- olson for the purpose of hearing arguments of interested citizons in_opposition plan. Mayor Cleaver and Aldermen Niche Kon, man and Brewick represented - the council and James McCabe and Colonel W Baker were there from the opposition Mr. McCabe made the principal argument ainst the tensic He called attention to the fact that of $53,000 raised by the city each year in taxes $i3,000 was pald out to two corporations, the water company re celving $30,000 and the gas company $13,000. He quoted extracts from a prominent per fodical to the effect that within ten yea ga5 would be manufactured at one-half its present cost, and said It would be madness for the eity to tie itself up for another five ars in view of such prospects He also quoted figures to show that the present charges for electric lights were ex orbitant, as shown by comparison with charges made in Chicago, Bloomington, Iil., and other cities. Inasmuch as the company now had no charter and consequently no rights on the streets of Council Bluffs, he thought it was the best chance the clty coulll ever expect to secure possession of the lighting plant, and presented the plan, as it appearcd in the columns of The Bee several days ago, by which a company &hould be or- ganized to put in a new plant and sell it out to the city as soon as the city should be in shape to purchase it, for the amount put into the plant with Interest. After Mr. MeCabe had finished the subject was discussed at principal length, the aldermen and mayor asking questions which were fully answered by him. Mayor Cleaver ugreed with McCabe and Baker that the city was paying double what it ought to for lights. Alderman Nichol son asked McCabe what steps he thought ould be taken with reference to the ex- nsion of the contract. McCabe said he would not do anything. “Let it stand as it I3, and if you have to make a contract don’t muke one for more than a year.” “Would the city have the right to the company’s manufacturing gas and elec- tric light when the contract expires next October?” asked the mayor. “Yes," replied McCabe, tomorrow and the city could not help itsel his talk ‘I -could stop it “Couldn’t the company cause us consid- erable trouble by stopping running its plant after tho expiration of the contract?” Nicholson. was McCabe's repl. for the benefit of the public, and the company refuses to operate it step in and operate it until “the plant was when the court will it can be closed out and other arrangements can be made by the public for carrying on the work.” In reply to the question whether the company could not make trouble by imposing any charges it saw fit, he safd that it could only charge what the light was reasonably worth, and he knew the company could not get any more than it was getting now, and probably not so much. When the meeting adjourned the members of the committee seemed to be rather taken with the idea of the city owning its own lighting plant, and the probability is that thoy will report adversely to the proposi- tion to tie the city up for another term of five years, Unknown Corpse Four The body of an unknown tramp was found yesterday afternoon lying by the side of the rallway track a short distance south of Honey Creelc station. It was put on board the train and breught to this eity. Coroner Jennings viewed the remains and decided an inquest was unnecessary. One of the men employed at the Northwestern roundhouse sald he saw the tramp pass him Tuesday afternoon and wlen asked where he was going sald he was bound for Chicago. Ther was nothing about his person to tell who he was, but a picce of copper wire bent in such a way that it might be easily used for un- locking doors gave some idea as to his pro- fession. A brass check similar to those used in saloons, “‘good for 5 cents in trade,” was hung about his neck by a strong buckskin cord, evidently as a charm of some kind. Therc were no bones broken and nothing to indicate how he met his death, excepting a slight bruise on the top of his head. The remains will be donated to the Council Bluffs Medical college.

Ex-Speaker Mitchell said it was his understanding two years ago that $20,000 would cover the entire cxpense of the sur- vey and he found that not only had that amount been consumed in superficial survey partially made, but that thousands of doi- lars extra had been paid in printing and expenses not contemplated by the legislature which passed the original bill. He was unalterably opposed to these blanket per- mits authorizing irresponsible parties to put their hand into the pocket of the taxpa at pleasure, and moved an amendment limit- ing the total expenses to the amount named, Riggen bill codify Trewin, Robingon, Ranck and Allen favored the bill. Mr. Carter said it was time this scandal was fully aired. He found on investigation that the chemist at the Agricultural colleg: who was already a salaried officer of the state, had claimed $165 for the single month of February, and that Prof. Samuel Calvin of the State university, who was now re- ceiving $2,200 per year, had actually been paid about $1,800 for work during his sum- mer vacation.
