Fred McCoy, who lives at 1025 North Bighth street, made an attempt at suicide yesterday morning, but it was unsuccessful, and the chances now seem to be that he will pull through all right, although he is not yet out of danger. He formerly lived in Denver, having been employed as engineer for ten years. Last September he was thrown out of work and came here to live with his mother. Since that time he has had nothing to dv and he says he got so blue over ‘the situation that he finally decided that he was better dead than alive. About 9§ o'tlock yesterday morning he accordingly fished up a box of rough on rats from the bottom of his trunk and wwallowed about a teaspoonful of it. He then went down town and returned about noon, complaining of feeling sick. Dr. Carter was called to attend im, but by the tims he arrived the poison had had about four hours to work, so that the young man's case v as rather serious. An emetic was furnished him, and last evening he had o far recovered as to be able to talk rationally. The principal danger is now from inflammation, and his physician cannot tell t what will be the final outcome. * Evans Laundry company.

Two of the gang are now in jail, and the prospects are that the next few days will see two or three more of them In the same unfortunate pre- dicament, For months past particularly Missourl, have been flooded with bogus dollars, halves, and gold $5 pieces. The product of the independent mint was very good, and many people were taken in without knowing it until it was too late. Richards was given a tip, and on that tip he has been Indusriously working. Creston has been the headquarters of the gang, and the plant was located in a house occupied by Frank Beard. At 1 ck yesterday morning Richards, accompanied by several other officers from Creston, went to Beard's hou: and routed him out of bed. It was claimed that Beard had promised to blow the dayiights out of any officer that tried to arrest him, and the officers went prepared to shed gore, but it was not necessary. They took along with them a search warrant for Beard's cellar, where it was supposed the plant was located. A com- plete set of counterfeiting tools was found there, consisting of plaster of paris casts, gold and silver wash, chisels, polishing brushes, emery powder, and coins in all stages of manufacture, The plant was taken possession of by the officers. Beard claims he merely rented the cellar to some other men, and that he had 1o part in the crime himself, but the officers claim to have secured evidence which will show that he not only helped make the bogus stuff, but that he aiso put it in circulatio In the house were found thres enormous re- volvers, loaded and ready for busines: These are also in the hands of the authori- ties. Beard was taken b:fore Commissioner Steadman yesterday and bcund over to the grand jury, his bond being fixed at $2,500. Jim Schou ‘was arrested during the day and Will be brought to this city today. The officers are on the trail of three more, with fair prospects of getting them shortly. The gang is considered a desperate one, and although suspicion has for some time pointed in their direction, thay -succeeded in covering up their tracks so well that it seemed for a time as though they would evade justice. A young man nam:d Ed Blair, a -iruggist from Creston, is also under arrest, but the authorities have convinced themselves that he was used merely as a tool, and as he told the truth abour his con- nection with the deal, his bond was fixed at a nominal sum and he was released. months ha Towa, Nebraska, and Social Gossip. Last Tuesday evening the Woodmen of the World gave a May pole party at their hall. By popular vote Miss Grace Evans was chosen Queen of the May, and the dance which fol- lowed was enjoyed alike by the young peo- ple who participated and the “elder and more sedate ones who looked on. Dancing, cards and other amusements served to pass the time very pleasantly, and elaborate re- freshments were served. On Wednesday evening Miss Maude Oli- ver entertained the “Ebony \arblers™" at her home on Park avenue. No gentlemen were allowed to come any nearer than the outside of the door, and what took place was for the amusement of the fair girls themselves. Music, both instrumental and vocal, dancing and refreshments were pleas- ant_features. While this program was in progress the “Niggers in the Box,” as the eight young men were christened who looked on with darkened countenances from a box in the opera house while the end women's jokes were being perpetrated, were enjoying a wine supper at the Ogden hotel. A mam- moth cake was sent down to them as a token of good will from the Warblers. Thursday evening at 0dd Fellows' hall J. T. Abbott of Muscatine, who enjoys the honor of being brigadier general and de- partment commander of the order, was ten- dered @ reception at the hall of the order. Academy No. 1, Pilgrim Sisters, held a very pleasant conundrum box sociable at its last meeting in April, to which they invited Coun- cil No. 1, Commercial Pilgrims, and Pilgrim Hayden of Chicago, whowas in the city. After discussing the good things found in the boxes and answering the conundrums found therein some pleasant after dinner speeches were made by both Pilgrims and Pilgrim Sisters, and the entertamnment wound up With a pleasant dance to inspiring music by Pilgrim Haworth. There was an important meeting held last evening by the Pllgrims and Pilgrim Sisters and a good deal of work done, particularly in reference to the coming meeting of the supreme council on the 18th of this month. The Masons of Omaha, Council Bluffs and Harlan united in observing Ascension day last Thursday in this city in a most enjoy- able manner. In the morning religious services were attended at St. Paul's church, after which Eminent Commander W. J. Jami- son of this city entertained about 100 guests at his home at luncheon. This was fol- lowed by an afternaon passed in the secret work of the order, and in the cvening thero was a banquet at Masonic hall, which was enjoyed by between 200 and 300 guests. Everything was done for the enfcyment of the guests, and the danciag that wound up the day's festivities was by no means the least of the pleasure Friday night the Council Bluffs Bar asso- clation gave a banquet in honor of Judge Deemer, who has recently been appointed to a position on the supreme court bench. Many speeches were made, in which test mony was borne to the high regard in which the Judge is held in this city, where he is s0_well known. Next Wednesday evening the Council Blufts Whist club will play the first of a series of five games with the club of Omaha at the latter's rooms.

P. Y. DeVol Crushed by a Coal Waugon. A sad death occurred yesterday forenoon at Wilcox's east green house, near the Chautauqua grounds, E. Fister, Mr. Wil- cox's foreman, was moving, and his ‘little girl, Ethel, aged 3 years and 4 months, was helping him in her childish way, carrying small parcels to the new place. A coul wagon entered the yard and stopped near the house on a slight incline, with the tongue pointing up hill, Oue of the men | employed about the place unhitched the team from the wagon, and Jjust s he loosened the last tug the little girl climbed up on the wheel to get into the wagon The man who was unhitching did not notice | her. The wagon, as soon as it was freed from the horses, started to go down hill, | and the little one was thrown off, the heavy wheels passing over her head, crushing her skull and kiiling her Instantly.

Judge Deemer occupied most of yesterday morning' session of the district court in rendering decisions in cases which he had had under advisement for some little time. In the of Mrs. Jennie Smith against the Citizens State bank, involving a cer- tificate of deposit for $1,800, which had been turned over as part payment for a piece of property in Longmont, Colo,, the decision vas in favor of the bank. Mrs. Smith claimed that she had been drugged into in- sensibility and induced to sign over the cer- tificate while in that condition, by a man named Proctor, with whom she had been training considerably. The court said he wished he could believe the lady's story, but there were so many improbabilities Li¢ could not. No decision was rendered in regard to the petition for severance of certain property from the fown of Manawa, from the fact that an amended petition will have to be filed, changing the boundaries of the land to be thus separated, and this cannot be done until next term, the town having ob- Jected. In the case of Blackman against Wright for the cancellation of a deed executed by Blackman in_Wright's favor, Daniel Dull, one of the defendants, was declared estopped from pleading fraud by the fact that he had waited too long before doing so. The con- veyance to Wright was cancelled, and the title to the property was given to one Phelan of Omaha, although the judge made some very uncomplimentary remarks as to Blackman's and Haldane's part in the trans- actions. The Council Bluffs Savings bank was given a judgment for $2,459.84 in the suit in which Dan Carrigg was defendant, on a mechanic's lien on a warehouse building. The bank claimed $2,800. Larsen & Jensen, an intervening firm, were glven a judgment for $135. In the suit of E. A. Wickham against Price & Hester, the motion of a number of laborers employed at the Pacific house under the management of the defendants, that the cost of the labor be paid out of the proceeds of the sale of furniture, was sustained. In the case of Garner against Dillon, for the partition of an estate, the defendant’s demurrer was overruled. W. W. Ordway’s claim against the Holman estate was allowed. This I8 the Reason Why.

Slices of bread so thin that a newspaper can be read through them without any difficulty and tin cups of Missourl river water have been all that stood in the way of starvation. Friday night thdy decided to leave without notice, and they almost succeeded in putting their plan into execution. About midnight a moise was heard from the upper part of the building, and Officer Weir proceeded to investigate. On going out into the jail yard he saw a large hole in the brick wall about half way up the south side of the building. He ran up stairs and found that nine of the ten were In the middle cell, while only six had been put there early in the evening. The other three had clambered from the front cell through a hole in the ceiling. A stout brickmason lay upon the floor near the hole, but as Welr looked at him he opened the west half of his east eye in an inquiring fashion. He had torn away the brick for the distance of about fourteen inches square and in a few minutes more the whole nine would have been enjoying the sweets of liberty once more, The brick mason will probably be sont up for another thirty days as the result of his anxiety to cheat the law of its victims. The whole outfit, afterya night in the steel cell, met with a change of heart yesterday noon, deciding that working on a full meal was preferable to loafing on a starvation diet, and went to work on the streets In the afternoon, Garnish s Must Stop in Town In a short time, as lowa has passed a law against them.

The defunct Council Bluffs Theater com- pany turned up in the superior court yes- terday as defendants in a suit brought by John Dohany to recover $600 claimed to be due for rent for the opera house during the year 1841 It will be remembered, par- ticularly by the business men who dropped several $10 bills on the altar of their coun- try, that this theater association was or- ganized In that year for the purpose of running the house on a strictly first class plan, with a clean building, capable orchestra and good shows. The plan worked to per- fection, except in one direction. It did not pay. 'As a consequence the members of the company found themselves in the same sit- uaticn as the man who picked up the hot poker and they dropped it. The rental of the house for the ¥éar was to be $3,500, and of that sum all but $500 was paid. For this Dohany now sues. In his petition he al- leges that the corporation was never legally incorporated, for the articles were never published as required by law, and so he claims the individual members of the con- cern are re:ponstblé for the corporation debts. He accordingly makes J. M. Lane, E. E. Hart, W. J. Jamison, A. P. Hanchett, F, H. Bvans and H. A.

CHICAGO, May 5 —In the interest of the labor organizations of Chicago, a committee has gone to California to examine 70,000 acres of land, which have been offered to the organizations for colonization. These lands are owned by the Land and Sunshine company. This company purchased the ir- rigating system of the Croker & Hoffman Land and Water company, and the lands of the Pacific Improvement company. The first named comprises the water rights of the Merced river, in developing which the original owners had to build a canal twenty- seven miles long. Branch canals amounting to seventy-five miles and watering 40,000 acres of land, the water works supplying the town of Merced and the dwelling erected by C. H. Hoffman at a cost of $100,000 were part of the sellers’ plant, and were included in the purchase. Of the lands, 16,000 acres are in wheat, several thousand in barley, and other parts are set in fruits. The com- pany also bought all the town lots of Merced. Azel F. Hatch, one of the stockholders of the Land of Sunshine company, says: have We made the first payments and have an years in which to pay the balance. Ve have taken an option on 30,000 acres of larid in addition to this purchase. Through- out the transaction we have been in close touch with the laboring unions. I am as- sured on the best authorily that they have ralsed $100,000 to assist colonization and that the money 1s placzd in the hands of the ofi- cers. The plan the unions have considered is the purchuse of tracts through a trustee and paying for them in installments, the improvements to bs pald for in the same way. “When the property is pald for it is to be sold. The shareholders are to hava the first choice to buy tho property, and the money they have pald in is to be credited on the purchase. There may, of course, be cholce pieces in the tract, and the rights to select these will command a premium. The land is crossed by the Southern Pacific rail- road, and all parts of It carry perpetual water rights. Just‘how many laboring peo- plo will enter g cdlonization movement in California cr eléesiliere I cannot say, but I am informed the idea of colonization has taken deep root.” rr——— Patton to Succegd Senator Stockbridge, LANSING, Mich,, May 5,—At 2:45 o'clock Governor Rich annpunced the appointment of John Patton, jr.;@s United States senator to succeed Senaton' Stockbridge, deceased, until a successor 18 elected by the legislature next January. s Mr. Patton is coifiliered one of the braini- est lawyers and orators in Grand Rapids.

DES MOINES, May 5.—The supreme coun cil of the A. P. A. completed its labors here tonight after a four days' session. The most important work was the preparation of the declaration of principles of the order. which was drawn up during the two days conferences, and is an important document In every way. The statement that Supreme President Traynor had recommended twenty- one years' residence for naturalization was an error. His recommendation was ten vears, and the supreme council finally de cided that seven years should clapse be- tween an alien’s declariton of intention and his naturalization. The council passed a resolution asking that this correction be made by the press. ciples is as follows First—Loyalty to true Americanism, which knows neither brthplace, race, creed or party, is the first requisite for membership in_the American Protective association, Second—The American Protective associa- tion is not a political party and does not con- trol the political afiiliations of its members but it teaches them to be intensely active in the discharge of their political duties in or out of party lines, because it believes that all problems confronting our people will be best .\')X‘\'vl by a conscientious discharge of the duties of citizenship by every individual. Third—While tolerant of all creeds, it holds that subjection to and support of any ecclesiastical power, not created and con trolled by American citizens, and which claims equal, if not greater, sovercignty than the government of the United States of The declaration of prin- America, is irreconcilable with ecitizenship. It is, tierefore, opposed to the holding of offices in national, state or municipal govern- ment by any subject ecclesiastical power. Fourth—We uphold the constitution of the United States of America, and no portion of it more than its guaranty of religious liberty, to be guaranteed to the individual, and not to mean that under its protection any un- american ecclesiastical power can claim ab- solute control over the education of children growing up under the stars and stripes, Fifth—We consider the nonsectarian free public school the bulwark of American in- stitutions, the best place for the education of American children. To kecp them such, we protest against the employment of sub- Jects of any unamerican ccclesiastical power, as officers or teachers of the public schools. Sixth—We condemn the support, out of the public treasury, by direct appropriation or by contract, of any sectarian school, reformatory or other institution not owned and controlled by public authority. | . Seventh—Believing that exemption from taxation is equal to a grant of public funds, we demand that no real or personal property be exempt from taxation, the title to which is not vested in the national or state govern- ments or in_any of their subdivisions. Eighth—We protest agalnst the enlistment in the United States army, navy or militia of any state of any person not an actual citi- zen of the United States. Ninth—We demand for the protection of our citizen laborers the prohibition of the importation of pauper labor and the restric- tion of all immigration to persons who can show their ability and honest intention to become self-supporting American citizens. Tenth—We demand the change of the naturalization laws by a repeal of the act authorizing the naturalization of miners without a preyious declaration of intention and by providing that no alien shall be naturalized or permitted to vote in any state in the union who cannot speak the language of the land, and who cannot prove seven years continuous residence in this country Trom the date of his declaration of intention. Eleventh—We protest against the gross negligence and laxity with which the judiciary of our land administer the present naturalization laws and against the practice of naturalizing aliens at the expense of committees or candidates as the most prolific source of the present prostitution of Amer- fcan citizenship to the basest uses. Twelfth—We demand that all hospitals, asylums, reformatories or other institutions in which people are under restraint be at all times subject to public inspection, whether they are maintained by the public or by private corporations or individuals. Thirteenth—We demand that all national or state legislation affecting financial, com- mercial or Industrial interests be general in character and in no instance in favor of any one section of the country or of any class of people. The council tabled every motion attempting to commit the order to any distinct line of policy on the money, labor, suffrage, temper- ance or other party questions, and also adopted a resolution declaring that no com- or supporter of such mittee or other authority in the order could, niza- bind the members to any political org tion beyond their negative obligation. The council approved of the draft of a DAl for the suppression of immigration, which will be sent to congress, and also adopted resolutions for leglalation subjecting con- vents and similar institutions to public in- spection. It was resolved that Washington, D. C., be the permanent meeting place after 1896 and that all meetings be held with open doors, the public to be invited to witness and listen to all resolutions. ‘Another question that has been agitating tho council is the attitude toward ex-prie who are lecturing in various parts of the country, presumably in the interest of the American Protective assoclation, butr eally attacking the Catholic church. State Secre- tary Jackman secured the passage of a reso- lution by the state cutting the order loose from the priests. BEx-Priest McNamara vig orously opposed this in the national council, but the latter body sustained the state com- mittee. The press committee announced that It was impossible to give out either the address of the president or the declaration of principles. P clation clected officers as follows: Supreme president, W. J. Traynor of Detroit; vice president, Rev. Adam Faucett of Colum- bus, O.; secretary of state, O. C. Jackson of Boone, Ta.; chaplain, J. J. Gosper of Los Angeles; secretary, C. T.

DES MOINES, May 5.—(Special Telegram to The Bee)—About eight weeks ago great excitement was occasioned by the disappear- ance from the town of Exira of George Overholtzer, son of J. A. Overholtzer of Audubon. The young man had been manag- ing a lumber yard for his father, and left for Davenport on business. He came to Des Moines, and that was the last heard of him. His father had detectives at work in this city, and at once thought he had found evidence that George had been drugged and robbed. Later, when a man was killed by near Muscatine, it was thought it was cai young Overholtzer. But Des Moines officers have recelved word that the father has heard from.him by letted from Buenos Ayres, South Amer- fca, that he Is coming home. The impres- sion prevailed that the young man was out of lTs head when he ran away, but a letter written by a friend of his in Exira intimates that there was a girl in the case, and that matters had been fixed up. 1t Was Not Smulipox.
