The question of granting a right of way {to the Council Bluffs aud Manawa electric rallway over the county road will not be taken up at the present meeting of the board {of supervis The work of clearing up the title to the land owned by George F. Wright has taken some little time, so that | the condemnation of the property has not been completed, and cannot be before the first part of next month. Another meeting of the board will be held December 12, and it is likely that the matter will be again brought up for consideration then. Nearly all of yesterday was taken up with matters with reference to the saloon busi- ness. The supervisors never had so much to do with the saloon business in their lives un- til now, when the mulet law Is in force, and every session sees a long line of saloonists waiting for a chance to be heard. They want remission or reduction of taxes, and a great deal of evidence has to be taken in order that the board may act upon their requests knowingly. The contract with C. E. H. Campbell for the bullding of county bridges during the year 1895 was renewed by the board yester- day. The board pald a visit Thursday to a bridge over a ditch northeast of the city which 1s claimed to have caused the death of a number of horses whose owners now want damages from the county. Several carcasses found, but the members of the board to have a suspicion that they were dead before they went there.

The speech was made by 8. B. Wadsworth, in behalf of the board and the other friends who contributed.

A case Involving $5,000 worth of stock of the now retired Council Bluffs Lumber com- pany is on trial in the district court. Some time ago the company was merged with the Rex Lumber company. Before that Mrs. M. J. Irons disposed of her interest, $5,000, to the John R. Davis Lumber company of Wisconsin for $3,000, inasmuch as that com- pany held a clalm of about $11,000 for goods sold the Council Bluffs Lumber company, which would almost, If not entirely, wipe out the company's assets. Mrs. Irons now alleges that the sale was brought about by false representations, and that the claim of the Davis company was entirely fraudulent, She accordingly wants tho sale set asido and a judgment for the difference between the value of her stock and the amount she re- ceived, She further claims that all the money actually in the business was put in by her, although she held only one-third of the stock. Evidence to that effect was introduced yesterday, and it was shown that ghe did not know of the way in which the affair vas managed until after the sale. . The other stockholders, consequently, had no real financial interest in that company, but were members of the Star Union company, whose bills they accordingly made as large as possible, §0 she claims. Six years of b wiped out entirely the $15 been invested. ~ She wants the court to adjudge her the owner of the cthor twe- thirds of the stock, as well as the (ne-third for which she held certi MANUFACTURERS' PRICES Still Draw the Crowds Ktore.

Luella Gunnett, formerly wife of Samuel Reichart, who died about ten years ag» in Neola, filed objections in tle district court yesterday to the final reports of E. Relchart as exccutor of the estie and guardian of the three minor heirs. During the whole period of his office he made no report to the court, and when he finally wound up the affair and presented his final report the other day Whe fact was developed that the strong box_of- the estate, which formerly held about $16,000, was empty, and the estate owed him money which he had laid out upon the heirs, in addition to what had passed through his hands. This report, Mrs. Gun- nett claims, is incomplete and incorrect, and does not account for the money. She relies on his inability to show vouchers for his expenditures to prove up her case.

Discovered Sensatlonal Evidence. CEDAR RAPIDS, Ia., Nov. 16.—(Special Telegram.)—A petition for a new trial con- taining sensational charges was filed in the supreme court today by the defendant in the case of E. D. Markley against George B. Owen, an action involving the title to elghty acres of land. The new trial is asked on the ground that evidence introduced in be- half of the plaintift was false and fraudulent. The petition charges that the letter intro- duced in the recent trial purporting to be a copy of a letter written by the late Daniel Lothian, said to be lost, to Markley, which admitted the salo of the land in confroversy to Markley; that the same had been fully paid for, and that he was ready to execute a deed for the same at any time, was fraudu- lent. Owens says he has two witnesses who will testify that the original letter stated none of the purchase money. had been paid. It is claimed Markley used chemicals to destroy that portion of the letter and insert the false statement that the land had been paid for. Owns is executor and trustee of the Lothian estate. Sudden Death of A. M. Head. DES MOINES, Nov. 16.—(Special Telegram.) —Word was received here this afternoon an- nouncing the sudden death of A. M. Head of Jefferson from paralysis of the brain. He was a brother of Captain Albert Head. He was 38 years of age, and leaves a wife and five children. With his four brothers he removed from Poweshiek county twenty- five years ago to Jefferson. He filled many positions of public trust. s STORIES WERE UNTRUE. President Contradicts the Storles Concern- ing Himselt and Carliste, ‘WASHINGTON, Nov. 16.—The attention of the president was called to the state- ment that there had been a disagreement between him and Mr. Carlisle in regard to the fssue of bonds and other matters, and intimating such dizagreement might result in the secretary’s retirement from the cabi- net. The president emphatically denled the entire “batch of silly misstatements,” and said: “Never since our association to- gether has there been the slightest unpleas- antness or difference concerning the affairs of the Treasury department or any other matter. 1 have every reason to believe his_attachment to me is as sincere and great as mine is for him. I should be much afMicted if anything should cause him to entertain the thought of giving up his posi- tion, where he is doing £o much for his country. We have agreed exactly as to the issue of bonds, and there has been no backwardness on his part on that rubject, I see it is sald I am formulating a financial scheme. If such a scheme Is presented it will be the work of the secretary of the treas- ury and I shall endorse and support it. The trouble seems to be that those charged with the executive duties of the government do not appear willing at all times to take counsel of the newspapers and make public all they intend to do. Honduras Demonetizes Siiver, WASHINGTON, Nov. 16.— The secretary of the treasury has been Informed the pres- ent currency of British Honduras was de- monetized October 15, 1884, The demonetized coins will be redeemed at the rate of 50 cents of the new currency for each dollar of the demonetized currency. The gold dol- lar of the United States will hereafter be the standard coin of Honduras. Hitherto the currency has been the silver coins of Central and South America. The effect of this action, therefore, is demonetization of silver. :: Still Calling for Troops. WASHINGTON, Nov. 16, — The office has received a telegram from Windom at Muscogee, I. T., giving a briet account of the train holdup by the Cook gang. He calls attention to his former requests that troops be sent into the terrl- tory and states that the people are unable to protect either their lives or property. It having been decided that troops cannot le- gally be sent into the territory the matter must remain with the Department of Justice. ALl Agreeably Surprised. Henry Wileon, the postmaster at Welshton, Fla., says he cured a case of diarrhea of long standing in six hours, with one small bottle of Chamberlain’s cholic, cholera and dlarrhea remedy. What a pleasant surprise that must have been to the sufferer. Such cures are not unusual with this remedy. In many instances only one or two doses are required to give permanent relief. It can always be de- pended upon. When reduced with water it is pleasant to take. Indian Agent -— Cannot Fight Till Corbett Do BOSTON, Nov. 16.—J. J.

EUREKA, Cal, Nov. 16.—A. H. Nowy has started for Russla_to claim his title and estate conflscated twenty years ago by the Russian government. His title was count and he owned a large property, which he forfeited for criticising the czar. He fled to America, and during the last twenty years has supported himself and his family by various occupations. A year ago he came to Eureka to take charge of a ranch. Since the death of Alexander III, he has been advised by friends that with the accession of the new czar his restoration to rank and fortune is practically assured. Should this be done not only will Nowy recelve his title and estate, but under the law tle accumula- tion of his property during all these years will also be hi: 1he Best Plaster. Dampen a piece of flannel with Chamber- lain’s pain balm, and bind it over the seat of pain. It is better than any plaster. When the lungs are sore such an application on the chest and another on the back, be- tween the shoulder blades, will often prevent pneumonia. There is nothing o good for a lame back or a pain in the side. A sore throat can nearly always be cured in one night by applying a flannel bandage damp- ened with pain balm. et Depositors Taking Over the Bank.

Two members of the committee said that they had good grounds for stating the bank would be reorganized, and that all directors would be chosen from -among de positors, excluding any who have heretofore served as directors or officers. —_— Demands T mey's Resignation. DENVER, Nov. 106.—Adjutant General Tarsney has .refused to comply with a re- quest from Governor Waite for his resigna tion, saying he will resign when the gov- ernor, whose retirement has been demanded by a majority of 20,000, does the same. It 1s understood the governor will remove the adjutant general. The general opposed the nomination of Governor Waite as candidate for governor, and the governor wishes to place a friend in the adjutant general's office for the remainder of his term.

PERRY, Okl Nov. 16.—Many of the great frauds perpetrated in the opening of the Cherokee oulet, which consists of 6,000,000 actes of valuable land, formerly occupled by the Cherokee Indlans, are coming to light, but the greatest was unearthed today in a trial before the government townsite com- mission, and a tribunal appointed by the secretary of the interior to determine con- tests for town lots, Perry, by great odds, is the largest townsite in the new promised land opened by the present administration. At high noon September 18, 1893, of the 12,000 persons who ran for homes or town lots in the Cherokee strip, nearly 4,000 of them slept on Perry townsite lots on the night of September 18, 1893. To be a quali- fled entryman to take town lots or homes it was necessary for the man or woman to g0 to government booths and there on oath make a certain required declaration before a booth certificate could be fssued to qualify one to acquire land. Thousands of men and wemen stood for days in the almost un- bearable dust and wind to obtain this neces sary paper which would qualify them to get a home. One of these booths was located at Orlando, ten miles south of Perry, and it was there & great fraud was perpetrated which only cam to light yesterday. The Interior departmen | sent out several men from Washington to superintend this work of booth certificates and one D. Lecate was put in charge of the | Orlando booth. A prominent lawyer of | Gutbrie and a well known character of the territory, then living at Guthrie, concocted |a plan to make a great speculation. He | obtained the friendship of Lecate, got him drunk and for a few dollars obtained many hundreds of those certificates without the formality of making oath at a booth, stand- ing in line in dust and dirt for days. As the evidence developed in court yester- day, he filled his valise with booth certifi- catés and sold them in Guthrie and other $100. It was the presentation of one of these certificates in court and a full investi gation that has brought this Orlando fraud, and in fact frauds at all of the ten booths, to light. Memorial Portrait of Edwin the BALTIMORE, Nov. 16.—Edwin Booth's memorial portrait has been sented to the city of Baltimore. Critics pronounce the design and execution perfect in every detail.
