In past years they have done little odd jobs and had a rather clear fleld to themselves, but this year there are scores of white men out of work, and they have been reduced to such straits that they have to take anything they can get, and they have crowded the colored man out of his place, ‘We have over $300,000 to loan upon im- proved Iowa farms.

The neighborhood difficulty that has been tearing open the social circles of the south- west corner from stem to stern did not need an airing yesterday. Meda Sadowski, the 18-year-old girl who was charged with assault and battery, was there, and so was her vietim, 12-year-old Ethel Knott, with her head done up in a royal purple rag. A desire to patch up a truce manifest, and the prosecuting witness dismissed the case without prejudice, so that if there is any more trouble in the future the proceedings can be instituted afresh. The defendant was turned loose with a lecture from the court on the advisability of allowing sisterly love to continue Butcher Witz was on hand in Justice Vien's court to prusecute Anna Broache of Weston for letting a. flood of daylight into his interior by means of a pitchfork. Anna walved examination and was bound over to ;?fig grand jury, her bond being fixed at L. Z. Willlams, the foreman at the Council Bluffs Handle factory, was arrested yester- day on a charge of assault and battery. The engineer, Willlam Young, was the complain- ing witness. Ten days ago a dispute arose between them as to which of them was drunk. Williams picked up a spring and hit Young a heayy blow on the side of the head, drawing blood. The case is to have a_ hearing in Justice Vien's court Tuesday atternoon at 4 o'clock. Polities in the Sixth Ward. The Sixth Ward Republican club has com- menced early to work the boys into line, and a meeting of the newly organized clul is to be held next Monday cvening at Shu- bert hall. The activity of this organization is probably largely responsible for the fact that an early crop of candidates has sprung up in the ward. The Sixth, however, has never been deficlent in this respect, and this year is to be no exception, notwithstand- ing the long drouth. Alderman Nicholson is sald to be ambitious to succeed himself, and P. D. Burk, the equine furnisher, would not refuse the crown more than twice, as Julius Caesar did when his _constituents wanted him to run for office. W. C. Boyer is also casting sheep's eyes at the coveted treasure, and J. F. Hunt is being ‘“‘men- tioned.”" On the republican side of the fence, likewise, there is no dearth of pa- triots. “L. M. Shubert don't want it, but will take It if he can get it,” said one of his friends yesterday. “The difference between him and A. C. Harding is that Harding wants it, but knows he can't get it.”" For- rest Smith is working quietly for the nomina- tion, and A. C. Keller is merely “in the hands of his friends.” With all this timber, together with all that will come to the sur- face between now and the conventions, there 1s not the slightest danger of the aldermanic nomination going begging.

DES MOIN; TIng Feb. 2.—(Speclal)— News has just reached here of a sensation in the schools of Bradgate, near Humboldt John Hopkins s the president of the school board and Mrs. Thomas Is the principal of the schools. They had had trouble, Hopkins claiming that Mrs, Thomas was teaching without a contract. Monday morning Hop- kins drove a wooden plug In the key hole of the school room door. When Mrs. Thomas came she sald she would enter the school and resume teaching. Hopkins said she would have to do it over his dead body. She started to the door, and trying to insert her key, dropped it. Hopkins made a grab for it and Mrs. Thomas tried to put her foot on it In the scuffle that ensued she was thrown over the stair railing and would have fallen stralght through two or three flights had not the janitor caught her and thrown her back over the rail on the stairs. She then rolled on down to the bottom of the first flight. She had Hopkins arrested on the charge of assault and battery with intent to commit great bodily Injury, A hearing was had be- fore a justice of the peace, ending at 1 o'clock Tuesday morning and resulting in both being bound over to the grand jury, which is now in session. DIRECTORS ARE DISSATISFIED, Two of tho Board of the lowa Loan and De- posit Assoclation After the Manager. DES MOINES, Feb. 2.—(Special)—It is now stated on the best authority that two directors of the building and loan association of which Dr. E. C. Spinney, is the repre- sentative here, and has been for some time known as one of the liveliest hustlers in this line of business in this section of the country, have communicated with the re- maining members of the beard in an effort to get him removed and to get a new inves- tigation Into the affairs of the company The state executive council, at the request of all but two of the building and loan as- sociations of the city, of which the present, it is believed, was one, and the wrecked Union Building and Savings asscciation, of which Gereral Manager Richmond is now undergo- ing a rigid examination in the court con- cerning the doings of the company which caused its failure, appointed Hon. John Mc- Hugh, ex-bank examiner, and Hon. A. B. Beeson, ex-state treasurer, to make an ex- amination into their affairs. They were oc- cupied about four 'days each in examining the two companies on Which they have made reports, and at present they are working on_the others. About the same itime Spinney's company, the Towa Deposit and Loan, had an exami- nation made, and ‘it has developed that it only required the ;expert committee about three-quarters of a day to do it, or less than one-fourth the time occupied by the committee appointed by the executive coun- cil to do the workin similar organizations. This has excited soine sucpicion, and the fur- ther fact that Dr. Splnney was connected with Richmond in the publication of the Building and Loan Record, the paper that made such a malignant attack on Auditor of State McCarthy recently, has added to this suspicion to such an exfent that two di- rectors, as above stated, have made an ef- fort to get an investigation made into the affairs of the compary, and the .men ap- pointed by “the" ex&cutive” counel, and ' will | also seek to secure the removal of Spinney from the office here. These facts have just been learned from an authoritative souce and will no doubt be public property in a few days. DR. SPINNEY HAS RESIGNED. DES MOINES, Feb, 2.—(Special Tele- gram.)—In regard to the reported removal of Dr. E. C. Spinney of the Iowa Deposit and Loan company, it was explained today that for some time a committee has been ex- amining the company's books, with a view to making one of the regular reports, This committee will submit its report to a meet- ing of directors next Monday or Tuesday. In it they declare the business of the company is all right; that its affairs are in good shape, and find no fault with the books. There is a difference, however, between this committee and’ the manager as to a contract which he holds. Said_contract was made January 15, 1891, and is between Spinney as secretary and manager and Directors Wyman, Gardner and McCain. In it are certaln stipulations as to salary or allowance of the secretary and man- ager, and while the directors find no fault with' the contract this examining committee in its report seems to cast reflections on Dr. Spinney, after having declared his conduct of business all fair and square, Dr. Spinney is manager of a large insurance company and he will hereafter devote his whole time to its affairs. His resignation as the secretary and general manager of the Iowa Deposit and Loan company has been practically accepted, but will be formally acted upon next week. RED OAK WANTS REFORM, Municipal Affairs Are Stirring Up u Lot of Hot Blood. RED OAK, Ia, Feb. 2.—(Speclal)—The matter of prime importance in this city now has to do with the coming spring election of city officials. Unusual interest is being mani- fested in the selectlon of candidates, more particularly in that of mayor. A great deal of space in the local press has been devoted to articles relative to the management of city affairs between “Citizen,” whose articles are written over this mon de plume, and Mayor Daniel Gunn. “Citizen” went for his honor in good shape at the start in regard to city affairs. However, the mayor was on by the energy he Injected into his articles, launched question after question at ‘“Citi- zen” that he was unable to answer. Spurred on by the energy he Infected into his articles, the mayor proceeded to explain in detail bearing upon revenues, disbursements, etc., with the result that city politics are now taking definite shape. While Red Oak is not as large as some cities, the people put on quite an amount of ‘metropolitan airs. The city 15 mow bonded to the full limit and taxes are high enolgh,to sult the most fas- tidious person, Mayor Gunn's recommenda- tion in regard to the water works question is the all absorbing topic, his views in con- nection with the efty’s police protection are timely and good, s Wis other recommenda- tions are worthy \ef due consideration. In this controversy the mayor is upheld by the city’s heaviest taxpayers. The greatest dissatifaction In years has arigen over the water works question and the taxpayers in this ¢jty mean to stand by the mayor for much ngeded improvement, This has become a quesgion #f so much importance that the voters mext March will nominate and elect men whé will provide a system of municipal government under which any civil- ized man can live 'Withput a blush of shame. A friend of the mayor, in discussing this matter today said; ‘‘There are men sitting in this council today'who are the very soul of honor as far as private transactions are concerned; men whom no pecuniary induce- ment could tempt to betray the financial in- | terests of a friend, but who will deliberately glve their votes to a set of men who only seek office for personal gain and for no other reason. How disgraceful It seems when a man who has the courage of his own con- viction stands almost as helpless as a child, when every member of this councll should stand by the mayor in this question and bis standard their standard.

MINNEAPOLIS, Feb. 2—The delay in the Hayward murder trial, caused by the illness of Juror Dyer, is not likely to last longer than the time set, as the county physicians say that the sick juror will be in good con- dition by the time the court opens Monday. Meanwhile the time is being improved by the equipment of the court room with a new system of ventilation, which Is expected to prevent the recurrence of any such dificulty. It seems to be agreed that under the laws tne death or prolonged illness of a juror would mean a mistrial and the selection of an entirely new jury, though some legal au- thorities contend that there is precedent for a trial by eleven jurors provided both sides consent. The effort of the defense to draw from the witnesses already examined evidence as to the finding of tracks of pointed toe shoes at the sccne of the murder has served (o confirm the impression that the defense has the theory that there was a third man con- cerned in the crime firmly in mind. In this same connection the testimony of Witness Goosman as to the bloody condition of the buggy s important as showing that Blixt's story of how the murder was done cannot be wholly true, as it would have been im- possible for the murderer to do the deed without being splashed with blood, The de- fense will also attempt to show by expert testimony that the wounds on Miss Ging's face could not have been produced as Blixt says they were after death, when the body was pushed out of the buggy. By such tes- timony as this the defense hopes to dis- credit Blixt's story. The story of Adry Hay- ward will be attacked by the insanity testi- mony, the effort being to show that he was possibly himself the instigator of the crime or at any rate that his story of his brother Harry's connection with it is an hallucina- tion. The defense has permitted the publication of two letters written by Miss Ging to Harry Hayward. These speak in such a way as to apparently prove that they were bona fide financial transactions between them, The battle will rage hotly around these letters, which are claimed by the state to be simply part of Harry's deep plot to protect him- self. There Is much amusement among those connected with the case over the clalm made by a morning paper today that the pointed footprints were made by one of its reporters who visited the scene of the murder. The claim I8 alleged to be an attempt to get ad- vertising out of the quest for the third man. R WAS SENTENCED TO BE SHO Death of Morltz Neldoer, - Secesslon Jou ST.
