In the morning the end of a table knife blade, about an inch and a half long, was found between the upper and lower window sashes, having been inserted there for the purpose of removing the lock, and broken off before it got in its work.

J. Watts, commissioner of the poor fund, oc- cupied all of yesterday in tha supervisc rcom at the court house. No end of wit- were called, but aside from furnish- ple a free show but little good was accomplished. The first wit- ness of the day was Mrs, Cliney Cooper, the white wife of a man, who pald visit to Watts day fer getting some pecuniary assistance from the poor fund. Watts asked her if she was liv- ing the right kind of a life, and she replied sho was, He pressed the question until she to cry, and then he asked her to his office that night at 8:30 o'clock. She =aid it was tco late, and then he wanted her to meet him at a store on Broadway and take a buggy ride with him. She was horrified at this, and went home and tcld her husband, who wrote Watts a letter, in which he threatened to kill him, Watts went to her house, she said, and told her to get her husband to drcp the matter and apologize or he would have him arrested for blackmailing. For some reason or other Cooper never pushed the matter further, S. J. Dalbey repeated the story of his in- terview with Watts, which has already ap- peared in print, without substantial varia- tions, Mrs. Donaldson, who has a husband who claims to be blind, told how her husband was drawing a pension of $12 per month, in additlon to which she received orders from Watts to the sum of $13, and per- mission to move into a house owned by the county, for which she pald no rent. *But that,” " sald she, referring to the house, “didn’t amount to anything, for the house is no good.” She described the patches on the floors, the holes in the roof, the cracks in the walls, and the loose bricks in the foundation, until Chiet Justice Wadsworth said that, inasmuch as the house belonged to the county, the board would take judicial cognizance of its condition. Donaldson, the blind man, himself, was then called away from the newspaper Which he had been reading during the testimony of his wife, and put upcn the stand. Col- onel Dailey amused himself and the audience by ripping the man’s war record wide open He gleaned from him that he enlisted in the First California cavalry, and did all his fighting in Texas, Arizona and New Mexico. H: was never in Tennessee, Pennsylvania, Misslssippl, Virginia, ‘North Carolina, South Carolina_or Maryland, and he did not en- Joy an acitve part in Sherman's march to the sea. He was never wounded, and in the battle in Texas—he could not remember where it was—in which he won his spurs, there was not a man wounded, Willitts, another witness, testified that he recelved @ $3 order from Watts six days before making the afidavit which he had on file stating that he could not get anything. He admitted that he had not read the a- davit before signing it, and took back some of the allegations he had made in it. There was no evidence of any importance during the afternoon session, and the only feature of interest was an occasional passage of words between the attorneye. Colonel John Lindt, the soldiers' friend, took excep- tion, in a tone of voice that threatened the destruction of the light globes, to some of the questions which Colonel Dailey, Watts' attorney, was asking A. J. Shill, one of the witnesses. “I'm getting tired of having ev- ery one of these witnesses bulldozed, and T don’t propose to stand it.” shouted Lindt. ““What are you going to do about it, John?" asked Colonel Dailey, in the sweetest of tones. I'm going to shut you off,” was the reply. Oh, but I won't be shut off; there isn't power enough in Abe Lincoln post to shut me off,” said Dalley. “Yes, there is,” yelled Lindt. it myself. “Why, John,"” replied Dailey, ““you're draw- ing a pension of $25 a month for bodily in- firmity; you couldn’t shut me off. - “We'll see whether I can or not,” sald the irato attorney. “Well, John,"” said Dailey, with a smile that was almost heavenly, “if you try it, you'll be asking for an addition to your pension before you get through.” And John changed the subject. At the close of the testimony the board adjourned until this morning at 9 o'clock, when the attorneys will make their argu- ments. Just before leaving Lindt stepped up to the table, and picking up the afdavits which his soldier proteges had made said he would like to take them home with him, so that he could use them in getting together his argument, *“Well, John,” said Dailey, smiling blandly, those affidavits ‘are yours, because you made 'em, and T for one don't fee any rea- son why you shouldn't have them.” And everybody ‘smiled. post, nesses colored a one commenced to come “I can do BE SON BEOS, A V'lg Sale Today. 10,000 yards Fruit of the Loom and Lons- dalo bleached musiin today, Gc a yard. 10c outing flannels, 43¢ a yard. 36c all wool white flannel, 23¢ a yard. 30c all wool twilled red flannel, 14c yard. $1.25 sllk warp white flannel, T9c a yard.

A new electrie light schedule was put into operation last night, and will be tried as an experiment for the rest of the month, Com- plaints have been numerous in the past on account of the fact that as soon as the moon would be above the horizon, and before it could do any great amount of good, the lights would be turned off, in strict conformity to the Philadelphia schedule, which is in use in many of the cities of the country. No allowance would be made for cloudy nights, and sometimes the lights would be turned on before it was dark. Harry Evans of the light company and City Electrician James Bradley bave had their heads together lately “concocting a new scheme. Last night tho lights were turned on ten minutes later than usual, and this time will be lengthened into half an hour in the course of two or three days. The lights will be left on by a corresponding length of time in the morn ing, 0 that the time of burning will be th same, only better adapted to Council Bluffs requitements.

Kerns, charged with vagrancy, was discharged in police court yesterday morning, but was immediately after arrested by Officer Murphy and charged with bur- glarizing N. P. Conant’s store on Christmas evening. He is well known in police circles of Council Bluffs and Omaha, having just been released from the jail of the latter clty after having been tried on the charge of ‘being implicated in several highway rob- beries, of which three of his friends were convicted. Kerns was seen back of the jew elry store the day preceding the burglary, and @ man whose description tallies with his was seen by Peter Peterson and a wo- man who was at that time confined in the city jail running as fast as he could through the alley leading from Conant’s store to the creek. The evidence s purely circumstan- tlal, as no one has yet been found who has scen any of the stolen jewelry in his pos- session, but Murphy has hopes of bringing something more definite to light.

DES MOINES, Jan. 16.~(8pecial Telegram.) —The supreme court this morning decided the caso of the lTowa State Savings bank against the city council of the city of Bur- lington et al, appellants, Des Moines district The proceeding was before the Burlington clty council, acting as a board of equaliza- tion for correction of an The board refused the relief asked. The district court on appeal set aside and canceled the assessment and from that action the de fendants, city of Burlington, city council and members thercof, the county auditor county treasurer, appeal. In January, 1802, the Savings bank had in its possession set apart and for tho capl- tal stock of the bank the sum of $100,000 in legal tender notes of the United States. In addition it had a surplus of $211,331, which represented the undistributed profits of the business. Of that amount $48,313 in- vested in raal estate. The plaintift was assessed for moneys and credits in the sum of $30,000. It is mot claimed that the portlon of the surplus in- vested in real estate was properly assessable in the manner attempted, but it is insisted that the remainder, amounting to $64,017, was subjected to assessment as the property of the plaintiff. The supreme court says that the word “capital” as applied to the smoney of a corporation may refer to money paid in by the stockholders for the use of the corporation. The distinction between capltal and surplus, 8o long as both are userl in carrying on the business, Is theoretical merely,” and s largely a matter of book- keeping. Until set apart for the use of the stockholders, profits in the savings bank are practically a part of its working capital, and may be used in ordinary business tlons, ete. Until set apart for his individual use the stockholder has no control of profits nor any part thereof, and while the profits are treated by corporation and stock- holders as part of the corporate capital, they should be assessed as capital. “The conclu- sion we have reached,” continues the court, “‘requires the application of the same rule: of valuation to stock assessed to the savings banks as to stock of other corporations assessed to the stockholders, and makes more certain the such property. The district setting aside the asses the surplus as was invested in money and credits. The judgment is reversed and cause remanded.” 10WA MILLERS WANT PROTECTION. assessment. and was assessing of court erred in ement of 80 much of Twenty-First Annual Mecting of the State Association In Sesslon, DES MOINES, Jan. 16.—(Special Telegram.) —The twenty-first annual meeting of the Towa Millers’ assoclation was held here to- day.
