National Grand Master J. Lelner of the German Order of the Treubund passad through the city yesterday his way from Bell- ville, 111, to Norfolk, Neb., where he is to attend the meeting of the grand lodge of Towa and Nebraska of the order. He was at the meeting of the local lodge last evening and a very lively session was held. He made a specch and numerous matters were dis- cussed with reference to the coming meeting | of the grand lodge. The meeting to be held at Norfolk today is likely to result in rious difficulties. ‘rom what can be learned, the Towa lodge headed by the lodge at Denison, have come to the conclusion that they would rather unite with the lodges of Missourl and Illinois in the payments of the eick benefit funds, while the lodges of Nebraska are violently cpposed to this scheme. Under the present system Nebraska and lowa pay their own death ben: fits, and it is claimed by the Nebraska peo- ple that to Join with Illnols and Missouri would {ncrease the expens:. Both sides are very fixed in their d and there seems to be a strong probability that a rupture will take place before the close of the grand l:dge meeting, whereby Nebraska and Iowa will have separate grand lodges. The grand lodge of Towa and Nebraska is in debt to the ex- tent of several thousand dollars, but the Illinois and Missouri lodges are willing to take them in, nevertheless, and assume their indebtedness. It is on this account that the Towa pecple are in favor of uniting. The Treubund soclety s very strong in both Council Bluffs and Omaha, particularly the latter, which numbers 500. J. E. Ahles and H. Voss will represent %he local lodge of Council Bluffs. Perfect keeping properties belong to Dr. Price’s Baking Powder, because it's abso- lutely pure. . MORE TIME on ne s FUR BREAD ORDINANCE Hucksters Must Pay 875 a Year for Their Licenses. The city counc’l held its regular monthly meeting last evening, with Mayor Cleaver and Aldermen Brewick, Gleason, Grahl, Kel- ler, Nicholson, Rishton, Spetman and White present. The question of regulating the size of bread loaves was again brought up by the intro- duction of a petition asking that an ordi- nance be passed requirng all loaves offered for sale to be not less than twenty-four ounces in weight. It was signed by the fol- lowing grocers: Willlam Fitzgerald, John Mergen, Peter Tholl, Willlam Arnd & Son, R. J. Hancock, P. W. Kodweiss & Co., P. Gunnoude, R. Toller, Max Kreidler, Nels Johnson, William Rapp, O. C. Sorenson, Wil- liam Dachtler, B. A. Morgan, Sam Marks Johnson & Olson, A. W. Bockhoff, Ed W son, G. W. Levist, W. C. Spetman, W. Dickey & Co., J. K. Cooper, W. S. C. Homer, James & Haverstock and S. T. McAtee. At the request of Alderman Keller the matter was laid over in order that the coun- cil might have a chance to look up the Omaha ordinance on the same subject. Peter Smith, the godfather of the scheme, said that the ordinance was identical with that of Omaha. The -ordinance fixing huckster licenses at $75 per annum was passed, Grahl, Nicholson and Rishton vating no. The ordinance allowing sidewalks to be built of stone, brick or plank on any graded street where the council may deem it best, was passed unanimously. The *ordinance prohibiting all persons not passengers from jumping on or oft moving motor trains was passed unanimously. The park commissioners presented a_re- quest that the council submit to the voters a proposition for a 1-mill tax levy for park purposes. It was granted. A petition for tho extension of Fairview avenue into Fairmont park was referred to the committee cf the whole. Tho new light schedule, prepared by Harry BEvans, electrician of the electric light com- pany, and City Electrician Bradley, was ex- plained by them. It was better adapted to this place than the Philadelphia, they said, but gave the same number of hours' Lght cach night. It was adopted. The city clerk . was instructed to notify the property owners on Oakland avenue of their asscssments for paving.” He was also instructed to secure a copy of the Omaha bread ordinance.

Tel. 157, Wanted, competent o at 608 First ayenue. competent cook, Forger in the Tolls. Hans Schimittlein, the young and good look- ing German who is now serving a sentence in the Omaha jail for some little financial creokedness a few days ago, will have an op- portunity of renewing acquaintance with a number of friends on this.side of the river as soon as his term is out. About two months ago he was employed by J. C. Wilcox and was known to have a bank account. He went to F. W. Spetman and bought a bill cf goods amounting to $33 and pald for them with a check. When Mr. Spetmantook the check to the bank it was thrown out for lack of funds. Schmittleln had made himself scarce, and, although he has not given Coun cil Bluffs tha cold shoulder entirely, Spetman was unable to find him. Last Wednesday he paid a visit to this side of the river and bought §0 cents worth of grocerics at C. F. Nelson's store, at the corner of Broadway and Frank stréet. He prezented a check for $7.76, bearing the sig- nature of A. W. Pinney, a well known farmer of this county, and it was promptly cashed. When the check was turned in at the bank it was thrown out as a_forgery. Saturday he was here again and tried to pass a check for $8.76 on Thomas Rishton, L. M. Shubert and Dick Payne, three merchants in Streetayille, This check bore the forged signature of F. B. Hall. Rishton and Shubert refused to cash it, but Payne accommodated him. The Councll Bluffs Savings bank is out about §05 as the result of an acquaintance with this young man. About the time that he worked for Spetman he called at the bank with a check which he wanted cashed. The cashier Lad seen him before and supposed he was all right. Schmittlein had been talking of starting out in the fish business at Gor- don, Neb., with about $1,200, which he had received from his home in Germany. Mr. Spetman telegraphed to the bank in Gordon where Schmittlein had told him he kept his money, and asked if Schmittlsln was flan- clally good “Notfor more thar $147," wired back the beuk cashier. The Cross Gun company of Omaha, it is said, holds two worthless checks of his, ag- gregating $150. He also bought a wheel of the company and pawned it at a Council Blufts sccond hand store for $20, leaving im- mediately after for Kansas Oity, where he hias been ever since, Schmittlein's fatber lives in Germany and is well fixed. It is claimed that he will pay almost any amount to keep the young man out of the penitentiary, so that h's victims have some hopes of getting a settlement out of him. Arrangements were made yesterda with the Omaha court whereby his twent day sentence will be suspended and he will be brought to this side this morning for a preliminary hearivg. Marriage Licenses. The following marriage licenses were ls- sued yesterday: Name and addres; Ag: J. E. Adams, Pottawattamie county..... Lillie Hutchinsen, Pottawattamie county John W. Gribble, Omaha. Kate L.

The young fellow spun_a sorrowful yarn about the emptiness of all things, and particularly himself, and Mr. Refkman’s sympathies were aroused. He gave him a dinner after the young man had promised that he would do some little odd jobs about the house. As soon as he had gurrounded the dinner, however, he remem- bered a business engagement he had else- where, and and he was making a hot foot for elsewhere when Reikman spied him. Relkman gava chase, and finally caught him on Broadway and turned him over to the police.

SIOUX CITY, Feb 4.—(Special Telegram.) ~The criminal cases against county officers are coming up for trial this week. When district court opened this morning Judge Wakefield announced that he had ruled on another of the motions to quash indictments against T: F. Bevington, ex-county attorney. This time h» quashed it. The trial on one indictment was to have begun today, but went over till tomorrow. Devington has opened a headquarters at Hotel Booge, and the rotunda of the hotel suggested all day today that a political con- vention might b2 in progress. He has had several detectives at work for months hunt- ing up evidence and witnesses and getting his defense in shape. Around his headquarters today were the entire crowd of officers or ex-officers who had been concerned with him in his dealings with the county, comparing evidence at hand, and discussing the process for the trial. One of the questions that agi- tates them is whether E. R. Roberts, who as deputy auditor was the tool of the boodlers, will be here to testify. Last summer Roberts was brought back from Virginia by the ci zens' committee to testify. He turned state's evidence and it was the entering wedge in the big task of the committee. He was al- lowed to go back to his old home and nobody but County Attorney Hallam knows whether he will ba here for this trial. If he comes he will make a hard case for Bevington; it not, the result 1s less certain. The first indictment under which Bevington will be tried Is for conspiracy to defraud the county by stuffing the lists of witnesses before the grand jury, and taking the fees that were drawn in the names of the fictitious persons. SPINNEY'S SUPPLEN MENTARY STORY. It Will Be Filed Along with the Examining Committee’'s Report. DES MOINES, Feb. 4.—(Special Telegram.) —The report of the committee of examina- tion of the Towa Deposit and Loan company will be made public tomorrow morning, and is in substance the same as outlined in these dispatches. Dr. E. C. Spinney, ex-secretary and manager, was seen today. He said that the ins.muations that he had misused the company’s money were wholly without foun- dation, and that any charges of that kind can be easily refuted by the books them- selves. He says the examining committee has rejected his contract, but the directors have not done so. “I have consulted attorneys as to those matters,” sald Dr. Spinney, “and they ask by what right McHugh and Beeson pass upon the legality of the contract. The situ- ation now is that under this contract with the company I am entitled to about $4,000, and if the contract is invalid then I am out that much and owe the company about $16,- 000. My attorneys will prepare a document for submission along with McHugh and Bee- son's report, so the directory will be shown our side of the case. The business of the company is all right. The stock Is gilt- edged, and it is only plain truth to say the business will go on just the same under other management and the company will not suffer from the report of this examining board.” When asked the question direct as to whether the lowa Deposit and Loan company had paid any member of the last general assembly money to help defeat all loan and building association legislation, he emphat- ically denied the charge, saying that not one dollar was paid to any member of the leg- islature, nor to any one else to be paid to any member of the legislature, to influence his vote one way or the other. When asked is he, Spinney, had opposed legislation seeking to control loan and building asscci- ations, he sald no; that he bad favored leg- islation to control such associations, but had been opposed to some of the particular fea- tures in the bill which was finally perfected in the house, but as finally amended it should have been passed. The company was reorganized here tonight by the election of John McHugh of Ceresco as president, and Byron A. Beeson as sccre- tary. These men conducted the investigation. John Wyman, former president, was made Vice president. Secretary of State McFarland went to Chicago tonight to see about certain bond in- vestment companies which he has refused incorporation and who have been trying to compel him by mandamus proceedings. The Towa laws are weak respecting these com- panies and he proposes to fight It out with such companies, for he considers them swindlers. BONDS DECLARED IN ALID, Lyon County, Towa, Kelleved of @ Heavy Debt. SIOUX CITY, Feb. 4.—The femous Lyon county bond case was decided by the supreme court of the United States today affirming the decision of the lower court. The decision is in favor of the county, and disposes of a case long in litigation, wiping out a debt of about $360,000, principal and interest, repre- sented by bonds. The case is said to have grown out of steals in the early history of the county. When the county was organized the organizers wanted it to get some swamp lands. It was the custom to give these lands to the county for educational purposes. Lyon county had no swamps, and the plan was to get some of the land declared swamp land anyhow. Accordingly the county board au- thorized the expenditure of immense amounts for lawyers and in other ways to establish that there were swamp lands in the county. In this way bonds were issued from time to time and the debt became immense. In 1885 refunding bonds were issued to take these up to the amount of $203,000, and it is on these refunding bonds that the fight has been made. The case went through the state and the federal courts. In the state court it wi held that the bonds were invalid. This w in an old case founded ou an Injunction which the citizens of the county secured to restrain the payment of interest on the bonds. After the case was seitled one of the owners of bonds sued on them and got the case into the federal court. This iy the case settled by the federal court. The bonds are held as follows: Aetna Life Insurance company, $35,000; Orlent Fire Insurance company, $10,000; Hart- ford Steam Boller Inspection and Fire Insur- ance company, $10,000; United States Na- tional bank of Hartford, $15,000; Connecticut Mutual Fire Insurance —company, $15,000; Keene Five-Cent Savings bank, Keene, N. H., $50,000; iza Faulkner, Keene, N. H., $10,000; Society for Savings, Cleveland, 0., 30,000; G. B. Provost, Dubuque, $20,000; L. F. Drake, St. Paul, $18,000; J. E.

Thomas and Oleson voted againet the mot'on Tn explaining his vote Oleson sald he was in favcr of running the schools to the limit of the term, June 28 Mr. Thomas refused to give any reasons for vot- ing against the motion. Mr. Pearl stated that he had had a talk with the*school superintendent and had learned that the work could be finished up by June 7 without detriment to the pupils and therefore he would vote for Check's mo- tion every time it came up. Oleson ‘said the time to economize was at the beginning of a school term, and not at the latter end, and was in favor of cutting off the month ot September rather than June, Mr. Cheek sald that he understood why his motion had been voted down, and it was be- cause he (Cheek) bad made it. Further- more, Cheek said that he would make no more effort to economize in any department, The blame for the board's indebtedness would then rest where it belonged, as he had used his best endeavors to curtail expenses, Mr. Pearl spoke In favor of instituting a business course in the High school and em- ploying a teacher, and Mr. Cheek moved that Prof. Beck be employed as a teacher for the business course at a salary of $60 per month.

S ———— WARD MW ALLISTER'S FUNERAL Crowds Press with Utseémly Force Into Church—Floweérs Stolen, NEW YORK, Feb. 4—The funeral of Ward MeAllister took place from Grace church to- day. The church was crowded to the doors and hundreds stood outside in the snow. As the funeral procession entered the church the venerable Bishop Thompson cf Mississippi read the burial service of the Episcopal church. The body reposed in a casket of black broad- cloth which was literally buried under a mass of floral tributes. The crowd was at times most unruly. Attempts were made to steal scme of the flowers and even whole pleces, and so great was the clamor for the good places that the late comers crowded right in on the mourners and had to be forced back by the police. As the last of the famlly party followed the casketx up the aisle half a hun- dred curiosity seekers pressed forward eager to get into the church along with them. “Get back there!” yelled the policeman who was stationed In the vestibule. The policeman did not parley, but raising his arms begano pushing right and left. In this way room was made In the vestibule to allow the sexton to close the door and keep out the intruders. Still the crowd stayed in the vestibule while the services were conducted, and when the coffin was borne out they had to be shoved along ahead of it. One woman clung to an urn and would not move. A policeman seized her by the arm and dragged her out in short order. The caskel was taken to Greenwood cemetery accompanied only by the members of the family. The chief mourners were the widow, Hay- ward Hall McAllister and Rev. Mr. and J. Francis Marion McAllister. The bishop of Mississippi was assisted by Rev.’Dr. John R. Huntington of Grace church and Rev. Platt of Rochester, N. Y. ki SAA ONE BODY IN THE CABIN, Evidence of a Tirutul Murder on Board a Stoop In Florida.

He found in fhe cabin the putrid body of & man, blackened, and the head swollen terribly. No trace of the sther man was found. A midnight jnquest was held on the river bank, and the sheriff had to cut away the cabin In order to take vat the body, which had swollen {oo Jarge fcr passage through the door.

NEW YORK, Feb. 4.—A special from Washington says: It is learned from an authoritative source that the Hawailan gov- ernment Is serlously considering the advisa- bility of putting to death the royalists who were prominent in the recent revolution against the government.
