About §0 per cent of the property owners have filed with the county auditor their claims for excessive general tax levied by the board of supervisors in the years 1888, 1889 and 1890. When the board meets Feb- ruary 19 it is expected that arrangements of some kind will be made to pay the claims, the treasury now being empty, so far as this fund is' concerned. A one-story frame building_belonging to Jacob Stein, at the corner of Broadway and Twelfth street, and formerly need as a feed store, caught fire last evening at 7 o'clock and burned to the ground. = It was un- doubtedly the work of incendiaries, as the brilding has been unoccupied for several { months past. ‘The building was worth about $500, and was well insured. Some boys who were skating along the banks of Indlan creek last evening found a foctus about two months of age curled up and lying in a patch of weeds, carefully done up in a bottle of alcohol. It was found, near the residence of the late Dr. White, on Twelfth street, and the theory of the police is that it was thrown out of his office by some one who was cleaning up. The report of the city physiclan for the month of January shows the total number of deaths to have been twenty-five, as com- pared with seventeen during the same month last year. Of this number four were caused by tuberculosis of the lungs. There were twenty-nine cases of contagious diseases, of which twenty-five were scarlet fever. Eléven deaths were of children less than a year old. Just a year ago this winter a complaint was made to the city councll that a slippery manhole cover at the corner of Broadway and Main street was causing people to fail dally and threatening to cost the city a penny or two for damages for broken limbs, The complaint was referred to the committee on streets and alleys, of which Alderman Keller was then chairman, with instructions to see that the dangerous object was removed.

NEWS FROM COUNCIL BLUFFS School Board Holds a Little £tar Chamber Session to Do Eusiness, WILL ALLOW WOMEN TO VOTE SIME Wives and Mothers May Take Vart Schoul Etection to a iscussing the ¥ Proposition. In the mited Extent h Sehool The members of the School board went slipping around Wednesday night until they arrived at the office of W. H. Thomas, where they proceeded to have a star chamber ses- sion a la city council. An effort was made at first to make it appear that it was simply a meeting of the committee of the whole, but before the evening was over this had been lost sight of, and some of the entries in the clerk’s minutes show that some things were done which could not have been done at a meeting of that sort. The question of building a new school house on the Fifteenth street school grounds came up for discussion, and it was decided that this was necessary. It was decided to submit to the voters of the school district the proposition of issuing $12,000 in bonds to ralse the money to earry out the project, and to submit another proposition to issu2 bonds In the sum of $8,000 or fo to be used in grading down the High school grounds ac- cording to the plans already set forth in The Bee. Mr. Thomas opposed the idea of grading down the High school grounds, on the ground that the exp:nse would be as much as, if not more than, enough to buy a new location; if a new building should be built there, the one now standing would have to be torn down and practically lost, whereas {f a new location for the High school should b> selected the present build- ing could be used as a graded school for seve eral years by redistricting the city. The submission of a proposition to erect a High school is not contemplated this year, but if the grading is ordered by the voters, the new building will be located, when built, in the rear of the present High school build- ing, which can then be uzed until the new buiiding is ready for occupancy. The president and secretary made their re- port to the board on the subject of preparing a register of the voters. Dy the last generay assembly a law was passed giving the wo- men the right to vote on all matters munic- ipal and relating to the school district in which the issuance of bonds is concerned, A petition was presented from R. N. Whit tlesey asking that the board engage him to make up a list of the registered voters. The president and secretary, to whom the matter had been referred at a previous meeting, stated that although the state superintendent of instruction did not seem to be able to de- cide the point, from what they could learn from other sources they did not think that the board had any authority to appoint a board of registration, but must make up its registration list from that prepared for the city election. Inasmuch as at both city and school elec- tions there are propositions to be voted upon with reference to issuing bonds, it now ap- pears that the board of registration will have to register the names of women as well as of men. Whenever any one comes up to vote with a dress on the election beard will con- sider the dress prima facie evidence of fem- inity, and the vote cast will be put into a separate box, in order that mo woman may voto for any candidate, a thing_which the law gives her no right to do. Bither the regis- tration lists will have to be made up in this way or else a special dispensation Wil have to be made, whereby women may vote with- out registering. Why any such favoritism should be shown the ladies, however, has not_been explained, and there is not much probability of the special dispensation being granted. The' registration scheme, however, will be attended with some difficulties. Every lady presenting herself to the board will have to tell her age, which, of course, will be as embarrassing for the lady as for the mem- bers of the board who have to ask about it. Remoants!

Mrs. Berry arrived in the city last even- ing and is the guest of Mrs. William Garner, 1020 Fifth avenue, for a few days. Dr. Berry, her husband, is well remembered here, having spent several weeks last sum- mer selling & patent medicine. One of his players was Charles Trephagen, who met and foll in love with Miss Georgla Garner, a blooming maiden, who reciprocated his feel- ing. The result was an elopement and mar- rlage of the most sensational sort, and tho result has been a great attachment between the Garner famlly and Dr. Berry's medical troupe. Mrs. Berry, Mr. and Mrs. Trephagen, and Mrs. Garner formed a pleasant company last evening as they talked of the strange errand which brings Mrs. Berry back from her ; Francisco_home. About three years ago, it appears, Mrs. Berry was traveling on the railroad when she met an old lady. An ac- quaintance sprang up which later grew into & strong attachment, and ever since the two ladies have been In correspondence. About a week ago the 0ld lady died at her home in Chicago, and now that her will is opened, it is learned that she remembered Mrs. Berry vith a bequest of $20,000. Mrs. Berry is now on_her way to Chicago to claim her legacy and to look after the legal steps necessary to obtaining it.

The Oldest Inhabitant enjoyed himself hugely yesterday, telling how much warmer yesterday was than the Tth of February, 1849, but the pleasure he felt In diving down into ancient history was nowhere compared with that of the different people whose thermom- eters had been going below during the night to get out of the cold. Twenty-six degrees was the lowest temperature that was noted, and even that record was surrounded by & haziness that detracted very much from its reliability. John Coyle, who lives down near Manawa, came all the way up from the cypress groves and banana plantations that surround bis home to tell about how his thermometer registered 24 degrees below zero when he got up. At the Terminl company's bridge the record was 20 below, and at the Omaha and Council Bluffs company's ofice it was the same. At 7 o'oclock at the power house of the Council Bluffs Water Works company on Broadway, near the river, the temperature was 18 degrees. The thermor eter at the School for the Deaf has in the past been considered one of the livellest hustlers for cold weather In the west, but yesterday it displayed a most remarkable lack of enterprise, and the lowest wmark it reached was 18 below Early Mornlog Blase, The grocery store run by C. F. Chase, at 717 Broadway, burned yesterday morning at 1 o'clock. The flames are thought to have originated in the stove in the back part of the building, but just how is unknown, The house was all ablaze when the fire department arrived, and all that could be done was to prevent the flames from spreading to the other buildings in the vicinity. The stock is thought to have been damaged to the extent of $800, and was uninsured. The bullding be- longed to J. B. Atkns and was insured for $100. A woman named Gilinsky, who lived Just back of the building, was very much ex- cited by the fire and threw all her children out of the window. Some of the bystanders etopped her before she commenced to throw the stove and looking glasses out after them. Just recelved, a new line of stamped linens and Honitan braids.

Officer Murphy, In looking up the case of Frank Klein, the petty thief who is now in Jai, learned that he had been guilty of an- other offense. “Last Tuesday evening he went to the Metropolitan hotel for supper, but as he had no undercoat he asked a young man working at the hotel to lend him his coat until after supper. The accommodating young man did so, and Klein went in to eat his supper. When he came out he put his over- coat on over the borrowed coat and struck out for other climes. The owner cf the coat called at the city jail last evening and iden- tified the coat Klefn had on as the one that he loaned him the other night. Klein's hear- ing has been set for th's morning. BLIXT CAL Sharp Answer to a Suggestion Pat Korward by Attorney Erwin, MINNBAPOLIS, Feb. 7.—The first witness in the Hayward murder trial this morning was Hans Barlow. Barlow had been pres- ent in the basement of the Ozark flats when Blixt cut the T rail in two for Harry Hay- ward, He was put on by the state to cor- roborate Blixt's story of that transaction and did so without contradicting Blixt in any fm- portant feature, He had helped Blixt cut the rail in two and heard Hayward scold Blixt for cutting it instead of simply-bend- ing it. On cross-examination an admission was drawn from him that he had served a term in the workhouse. Claus Blixt was again put on the stand and Mr. Erwin, after long questioning as to details of his story, sprang a sensation. He asked Blixt it he had not upon November 2 gone to the Arnold hotel on Central avenue with two other men and rented some rooms. “That's the biggest lie 1 ever heard,” e: claimed Blixt. Mr. Erwin questioned him closely, but Blixt professed ignorance about the alleged occurrence. The hotel register was intro- duced in evidence and Erwin asked Blixt if the signature of “Arne W. Teller, Wally City,” was not written by him. Blixt denled utterly that he had ever seen the register. These questions point to a theory of the de- fense that the murder was the work of a gang of green goods men and that Hayward had nothing to do with it. The sensational episode of the day came after court had adjourned this morning. County Attorney Nye approached Smith and made " his sensational declaration. He as- serted point blank that the entire story was a fabrication and that he knew all about how it had been put up. “Do you know anything about it, Nye?" asked Smith. “For I do deny that I had any- thing to do with it.” “Now, mark you, John Day Smith,” and the counsel for the state shook his finger threateningly in the face of the attorney, “I know you and I believe you to ba a man of honest” Intent, but just as sure as you live this thing is going to be exposed. I will drive every pin in this thing right straight to the bottom to show just how this thing was done, and you can depend upon it.” Nye's face was as white as the wall, and it ‘was patent that he had been enraged by the tactics of the defense. The county attorney asserted strongly that the story being put in to show collusion on Blixt's part with green goods people was an invention and a dis- graceful attempt to defeat justice. Hayward was jubilant over the turn of af- fairs. “I am glad to see,” said he, “that the truth is beginning to come out.” There was an episode In_the court room this afternoon when Harry Hayward for the first time since his arrest saw his brother Adry, who had confessed. It was a strange sight. Harry looked full in Adry’s face, with a smile, and, as if In obedlence to the sum- mons, Adry rose half reluctantly, and the hands of the two brothers, pitted against each other in the struggle for a life, met in a clasp. That was all. Harry took his seat, apparently unmoved. Adry sat down again and spoke to the deputy. A moment later the trial commenced again. Mr. Erwin concluded his cross examination this afternoon. He out- lined the defense in the questions asked Blixt, which showed that the defense will try and fasten the crime on a gang of green goods dealers, who wanted Miss Ging out of the way because she knew too much. — WILL BE £) TED TODAY.

WELSH, Observer, ALASKAN BOUNDARY DISPUTE John Bull Sees Scmethidg' We Wants and @oes Aften It CANADA LAYS CLAIM TO VALUABLE LAND Mining District at the Head of the Yukon Kiver Wanted by Both Countries—Sig- nificant Feature of thy Ques ton at lssup. SEATTLE, Feb. 7.—G. A. Carpenter, editor of the Alaska News, Juneau, who has ar rived here, speaking of the efforts of the Dominion officials to assert jurisdiction over the Yukon river mining distret and of the steps taken toward the settlement of the Alaska boundary, says: ““There is considerable excitement In Alaska over the boundary question, and the people scarcely discuss anything else. The Cana- dian government claims that Forty Mile rock s in British Columbla, and, to make the claim good, has sent its two commissioners with power to make a report in relation to the gold disceverles and also as to the smuggling of liquors into that region.” “It the claim set up by the Brit'sh is correct there s a prospect that Juneau will come within the limits of the territory claimed by them in their description of the boundary. This description says that in ab- sence of a mountain range the boundary line shall be within ten marine leagues of the coast line. The American idea is that the line shall follow the meandering of the bays and inlets. “The idea is, from what I can learn from Willlam Ogilvy, who has charge of the Cana- dian surveying party, and who was one of the pioneer surveyors of the Canadian movement engaged in making a report on the Yukon and its resources some ten years ago, that the Dominion government |s now anxious to find out the mineral wealth of Yukon valley in order to construct a good wagon road or a narrow gauge road from the salt water coast to the head waters of the Yukon river. Last September Ogilvy with a surveying party of nine Canadians started from Juncau for the head of the Taku inlet to make a prel:minary survey and a topographical report on the Taku route for the constriction of a road to the head waters of the Yukon river. “Among all classes of people in Alaska it is universally the opinion that if England succeeds In getting this strip of territory from the United States government it will be a steal pure and simple and another victory for the aggressive policy pursued by the British.” Mr. Carpenter also says the American boundary survey parties were negligent in their work, not sending parties into the in- terior but merely making observations from fleld glasses from the decks of their steamer, while the Canadian surveyors scaled the high coast ranges to the very summit of the mountains, In many cases subjecting the men to imminent danger of life and limb in order to secure exact data which would naturally make and mark a boundary line. Mr. Carpenter says this sending of Ogilvy's party in midwinter into the most dangerous part of Alaska to report an the Taku route is significant. Ogilvy will Teturn by the mid- dle of March to make a, hasty report to Ottawa and then return to finish the boundary survey. PUSHING THE FEDERAL BUILDING.

LONDONERS AND THE LOAN, Thelr Attitnde Relng Considered In Wash Ington Vefore It is (e 3 WASHINGTON, Feb. 7.—It was confi- dently expected that an announcement of an- other bond Issue will be made tomorrow or Saturday, independent of the action of the house this afternoon on the Springer bill. The net result of the negotiations, which have been in progress during the last two or three weeks, 18 sald to be a practical agreement among the Londen and New York bankers and the president for an issue of $100,000,000 4 per cent bonds on an interest basis of at least 3% per cent, If not greater. Of late the Londcn bankers have expressed a disin- clination to handle any part of the issue un- less the New York bankers took part of it They do not seem to share the confidence of our own people that there was no question but the bonds would be redeemed in gold if the stipulation was that they were redeem- able in coin, as they now insist that the New Yorkers should have a direct and personal interest in the redemption of the bond in gold, and very recently they informed Messrs. Bel: mont and Morgan that under ©io other condi- tions will they accept any part of the issue. This condition, it is said, has been accepted by the New York bankers, and it now seems almost_certain that $50,000,000 will be offered for sale to our own people, and the other 000,000 sold in London. » YORK, Feb. 7.—The Evening Post's London financial dispatch today says: Th new American loan is practically underwrit- ten here, and, supporing the Springer bill is defeated ‘today, the announcement is expected tomorrow or Saturday.

The total appropri- ation made by it is $8820,700, an increase of $608,970. The appropriation made by the house for the support of Indian pupils at the Lincoln institute, Philadelphia, and the Hampton college in Virginia is stricken out, and the total sum for the education of I dians placed in the control of the secretary of the interior is increased to $1,273,440. An appropriation of $400,000 is made for the survey of lands in Indlan territory. The secretary of the interior is authorized to ne- gotiate with the Otoe and Missouri tribes for the purchase of a sufficient quantitiy of their surplus lands to allot to members of the tribes. An important amendment is that ap- propriating $30,000 for the survey and allot- ment of lands and providing that an allottee who, on account of physical disability, can- not occupy his allotment, may ' lease the same, and also providing that any tribe whose lands are allotted may lease the surplus for farming purposes. One of the general amendments provides no persons should be employed as farmer or stockman who has not been at least five years previously employed in the practical occupation of farming. Twenty-five thousand dollars of the appropriation for Arizona and New Mexico is made immediately available, supposedly for the relief of destitute Nava- joes. The provision allowing the sccretary of the interior to pay the Stockbridge In- dians per capita half of the fund now to their credit in the United States treasury upon the completion of the allotment of their land is stricken out e WESTERN P SIONS.
