FOWLER, DICK & WALKER, Council Bluffs, Ta. on Cra ago John Wiemeyer Griswold, Cass county, was brought in by United States officers and deposited in the county jail, charged with bootlegging. Since that time he has Impressed himself on his fellow prisoners as a man whose upper story was a little weak, end they, with one ac- cord, christened him *‘Bughouse. unday afternoon while the Salvation army was bom- barding the walls of the county jail with songs, Weimeyer became insane in good earn- est. He crawled on his stomach about the corridor like a snake, and went through nu- merous contortions. During the night be be- came violent and howled all night, beating his shoes against the bars, calling for help, and making himself generally obnoxious. Some of his fellow prisoners tried to calm him down, but. one of them was severely bitten by the supposed maniac, He was put In a straight jacket, but his tremendous strength enabled him to tear the straight- Jacket off. He also tore his clothing in shreds. When morning came he was bound with straps, and the commissioners of insanity were called in. Dr. Thomas, after an examination, stated that he was unable to detect any rise of tem- perature or quickening of the pulse, such as is always noticed in cases of that sort, and he gave it as his cpinion that Wiemeyer pre- ferred the insane asylum to the county jail, and was taking that way to get there. The commissioners ordered that he be kept In the Jail over night, and if necessary, that a hypodermic injection be given to keep him quiet, It’s the surest—Dr. Price's Baking Powder —because it's absolutely pure. 15e Bootlegger About a month of Reed and the Chautauqua. There secms to be a good prospect that Colonel F. C. Reed, czar of Manawa, will join hands with the Ministerial association of Council Bluffs in the effort to give the public of this neck o' the woods another Chautauqua assembly. For some time past negotiations have been pending between them, and tho ministers assert that they now have the mat- ter fixed 5o that all that is needed Is Colonel Reed’s agreement to certain conditions to insure an assembly on the banks of raging Manawa next summer, and this agreement they have great hopes of getting. According to the proposition which the association has made Colonel Reed, ho is to build an amphi- theater on the lake front, pay the lecturers and have whatever he can make out ot it. The ministers are to have full charge of tho program and see that the genial colonel does not run in any song and dance artists at tho 5 o'clock Sunday vesper services. For two weeks, or such time as may be agreed upon, the ministers will have full swing, but at all other times of the year Colonel Reed will be at liberty to use the amphitheater for any pur- pose he may see fit. A meeting is to be held by Colonel Reed and the committee at the Grand hotel some time this week, when some definite decision is looked for, fave Your Money.

The first saloon injunction case instituted since the mulet law went Into effect was started by County Attorney Saunders yester- day in the district court, M. Davis, a saloon keeper at Crescent, is the defendant. Ie bought a little lot worth perhaps $30 and built on it a shanty, in which be commenced to deal out budge to the thirsty wayfarer with out golng through the formality of paying the tax provided by the mulet law. Some of his friends remonstrated with him, telling him that the authorities would surely get him if he didn’t watch out. To one and all he would reply, with a rich French brogue, “Yah, dot vos alle recht; T know vot 1 vos aboudt.” The mulet law provides that where the pro- prietor of a saloon does not pay the tax he may be proceeded against under the prohi- bition law. and so measures have been taken to shut him up. The sheriff was given a search warrant yesterday and instructions to levy on all the stock Davis might have in his place. If this had not been done the county would have found itself in an embar- rassng situation when it came to collecting the tax from the owner of the property, for the whole place is not worth a ffth of the amount of the tax. Davis, the drug, palnt and glass man, is now unloading a car of window glass just received from one of the best Indiana fac- tories, and has another car to arrive in a few days, when he will be prepared to fill all orders for Try Eagle laundry, 724 Broadway, for good work.

The suit is the result of the bad blood that has been engendered by the recent difficulties in the Christan church. According to trustworthy reports, Pontius had been looking up Dr. Carter's record at Ne- vada, Mo., Bowling Green, Mo, and other places where he lived before coming here, and was not at all chary about telling people what he had learned. Mr. Pontus left last evening for Larned, Kan, where he has charge of a ranch. A Prob em. One goes in 2 twice; 2 in 1 you can't. When other stores advertise shoes for 50c on the dollar it means fake.

William Chapman, charged with the em- bezzlement of a load of corn belonging to Charles Baldwin, a farmer eight miles south | of Council Bluffs, had a trial before Justice Cook yesterday. He insisted on having a jury trial, not being willing to trust his fate to the hands of the court, and eighteen men had to be picked up on the street to serve as the jury panel. Chapman's defense was that Baldwin owed him some money and told him to sell the .corn and pocket the money. He did so, and the prodigal son was not in it with him as long as that money lasted There was no evidence to corroborate his claim, and the jury, after being out a few minutes, returned a verdict of guilty, as charged. The court sentenced him to a term of thirty days in the county jail, but he gave notice of an appeal to the district eourt. Chapma Rev. Frank Crane, D.

In McClure's Magazine for January Miss Beatrice Harraden, author of the mest swiftly and widely popular novel written in recent years, “Ships That Pass in the Night,”” will tell how she came to write that novel; when, and where and how she wrote it; how she ot it published; and how it won her friends ; and correspondents in every quarter of the globe and among all conditions and classes of people; a more dramatic and absorbing story than even the novel itselfl. There will also be a portrait of Miss Harraden, The translation of the names of Continental celebrities sometimes involves a descent from the sublime to the ridiculous. For example, Calderon de la Barca is a true grandee name, yet rendered literally it means “kettle of barque.” Torquato Tasso in English is “chafned terrier,” Dante “a deerskin,” Gio- vanni Boceacelo Is equivalent to “Jack the Braggart,” Bramanta (the famoug archi- tect), as far as his name goes, was nothing more than “a whining pup,” and Max Pic- colomini, the bhero of Schiller's “'Wallen- stein,” synonymous with “Max, the Dwart.

Twenty-Two New 11| clved and Sev. eral Old Ones Considered. LINCOLN, Jan. 28.—(Special)—Adjourn- ment over Saturday and Sunday appeared to have exerted a depressing influence, and business was slow. Twenty-two new bills were introduced. Timme introduced an arbitration bill. It is house roll No. 364, and provides that when- ever a strike arises, or differences between employers and employes, an appeal shall be had to the judge of the nearest district court. The judge is authorized to empanel seven jurors, who shall try the case as in any other equity trial, and render a verdict. Any violation of the terms of this verdict is {0 be construed as contempt of court, and punished accordingly by fine or imprison- ment. By joint resolution Davies submitted two amendments to the constitution relating to supreme judges. House roll No. 352 provides that the supreme court shall consist of five Judges, two to be elected at the annual elec- tion of 1896, one of whom shall hold office one year and the other two, and that one judge shall be annually elected thereafter. The companion resolution, house roll No. 353, provides that the salaries of said judges hall be not less than $4,000 nor more than $5,000 per annum, and that the salaries of district judges shall be not less than $3,000 nor more than $3,500. A bill designed for the promotion of irri- gation is that of Allan, house roll No. 265. It provides that counties can vote bonds in an amount not less than $15,000 nor more than $25,000 for the purpose of sinking artesian_wells, By a prpvision of the bill it is made lawful for the ‘county commission- ers to lease the water o obtained, the pur- pose of the bill being to develop the water supply of the country for the benefit or agri- culture. Lamborn has a bill printed, house roll No. 244, for the creation and maintenance of a State Board of Charities and Corrections. The principal provision is that the governor shall be authorized to appoint four com- missioners, not more than (wo representing one political party, and not more than one from any one religious denomination, two of which commissioners shall be women, who, with the governor and; chancellor of the State university, shall be known as the State Board of Charities and Corrections. These commissioners are to recelvé no compensa- tion but expenses. In the line of reducing fee officers to sal- aried servants of the publie Ricketts has a bill printed, house roll No. 275, which pro- vides that every county judge, clerk, sheriff and treasurer whose fees shall exceed in the aggregate $1.500 each for judge and clerk and $2,000 each for sheriff and treasurer, per annum, shall pay all excess into the treas- ury. There is an exemption for counties having over 25,000 inhabitants, the vislon being that the treasurer shall rec $3,000 and shall be furnished assistants by the county commissioners. The sherift shall receive $2,600, county clerks the same and county judges $2,000. ROUTINE WORK OF THE SESSION. Introduction of bills and first reading of the same was found to be the regular order of business by the speaker when the house assembled this afternoon at 2 o'clock. The chairman of the committee on en- grossed and enrolled bills reported that house roll No. 113 had been sent to the gov- ernor for his signature. This is the bill signed Saturday by Governor Holcomb, and, s amended by the senate, provides for the appropriation of $50,000 for relief. Following bills on’ second reading the gov- ernor's private Secretary appeared and an- nounced that the governor had signed house roll No. 113, to aid drouth sufferers, and house roll No. 71, to pay employes and mem- bers. On motion of Harrison the house went into committee of the whole to consider bills on general file. The substitute for Brady's sced grain_note bill had the first call, but there rapidly developed a strong opposition to the substitute, and a friendliness for the original bill, as prepared by Brady. The latter pro- vides that a man borrowing money under its provisions mortgages the crop when it is in the ground; the substitute empowers him to execute a mortgage on a crop* not yet sown. The bill was recommended for pass- age. House roll No. 165, by Burns of Lancaster, the next in line, provides that the Board of Educational Lands and Funds shall cause all the peniteniary lands to be offered for lease or sale. In speaking of the recom- mendation of the committee to pass this bill, Mr. Burns faid that the bill was Intro- duced at the request of the Board of Public Lands and Buildings, In committee of the wholo it was amended to pay all moneys received into the educational fund of the state, and the amendment prevailed, The committee reported the bill back with rec- ommendation that it pass. House roll No. 161, by Chapman, provid- ing for the payment’ for public lands, was recommended to pags, A bill for the relif of Rebecca Perkins, house roll No. 50, by Higgins, was laid over for future consideration, The amount of relief asked for was $115.84, as provided in the Dill, for money overpaid on rental of pub- lie lands. The next bill considered was a measure to increase the number of legislators required to submit an amendment to the constitution, and decrease the number of votes required to carry an amendment. It 8 house roll No. 89, by Kaup. It is a joint resolution, and provides, as amended, that two-thirds of the members of the legislature may submit an amendment, and if a majority of those vot- ing for it at a general elegtion are in favor it shall be declared carrigd. The law now provides that three-fifths of the leglslature shall submit and a majority of all the votes cast must be in favor before the amendment is carried. The origingl bill, as printed, read three-ffths, as at present provided in the constitution. SHUT OFF A PRINTING STEAL. An animated discussion sprung up over a provision that the publication of the amend- ment in newspapers be' for three months prior to election. Burns of Dodge amended by making the publication four weeks, Chapman said that the motion came with a poor grace from a member of 4 county dele- gation that asked from the legislature $500.- 000 annually. Howard supported the amend- ment, for, as he said, although a printer, he was in favor of economy. Speaker Richards sald that he did not own a newspape neither was he asking for appropriations, consequently he could speak without preju: dice. ' He was In favor of the amendment and following was carried. The bill Was recommen House roll by Jenness, providing for the branding of all prison made goc found a host of friends.

Hay: den Bros. are not tied up with red tape restrie- tions like regular selling agents, but are frea to make the lowest prices ever heard of. Hayden Bros. put speclal streess on the Steinway and Vose pianos because they have a larger line in stock and can buy them cheaper than any other makes of cqual repu= tation.
