B. 0. society held a meeting 1 Thursday at the home of D. J. Rockwell on Third avenue. It has been several years since this organization disbandd and the vacancy it used to fill in social and charitable | circles has been a matter of deep regret. About fifteen of those who helped constitute its membership roll at the {Ime it went out of existence accordingly met and decided that the vacancy should be no more. Many of the original members have dicd or moved away, but'it is expected that within a week or two all, or nealy all, wio are still here will be again e lled. Meetings are to be held e other Thursday evening, at the home of one of the members, for sccial and literary en- Joyment. At the meeting last Thursday even- ng a seng party was one of the feature: Each one present was given the name of some song, which was to be illustrated by a pencil drawing. The others were then given a chanece to sce how near they could come to guessing the name of the scng thus {llus trated. Much of the drawing would have hardly been considered strictly artistic, but that fact add:=d to the amusement. Mrs. A. P. Hanchett was awarded the prize for guess- ing the largest number of mames, while Dr. Sarah Smith and Mrs, J. G. Wadsworth cut for the consolation prize. Light refreshments wero then served. A musicale was given Thursday night at the residence of J. Mueller, 722 Willow avenue, for the benefit fo the ladies’ fund of the Congregational church. The Modern Troubadors, composed of Prof. Harry Smith, an_accomplished musician, who has just lo- cated in this city, and his three talented children, furnished most of the program. They sing or play in quartet, and do equally meritorious solo” work. The first instru- mental number rendered by them was the adaglo from quartet No. 11 of Joseph, Hadyn. They also gave the military march by Schubert. The animation and artistic feeling that marked the rendition of these pieces were much admired. Little Gertruds sang “The Primrose’” song of Pinsuti, in a manner that won for her a shower of applause. As an encore she gave the “Little Alabama Coon,"” and was again greeted with hearty appre- ciation, Among those who assisted at the musicale were Mrs. Joseph Roff and C. B. Aitchison. Miss Gertie Gleascn and J. . Sime rendered the Hungarian Rhapsody of Liszt with: great brilliancy. The musical was a decided success, and was thoroughly enjoyed.

Diserimluating in Frelght RBat An important suit is set for trial in district court this week, in which J. C. Spangler, a Walnut shipger, sues the Rock Island rail- way for $2,000, alleged to have been over- charged for freight on goods shipped from Hancock and Oskland. In his petition he alleges that the Rock Island is in the habit of charging from 1 cent to 1% cents mos per hundredweight on carload lots to Avoca and Chicago than from Avoca, Harlan, Shelby, Minden, Neola or Council Bluffs ts the same points. This, he claims, is dis- crim'nzting, end hen“e a vio'at'on of the inter- state commerce law, Somo rather fine legal points are raised on both sides, and the trial will.be entircly on these legal points, for the plaintiff and do- fendant have agreed to the facts Involved, The railroad company claim that it cost moro to ship goods from towns on branch lines, such as Hancock and Oakland, than from’ towns on tho main line. The strong point made by the plaintiff’s attorneys is that Harlan is on a branch line, and exactly the samo distance from Avoca’ as Oakland, so that, according to the company's reasoning, tho charges should be the same. The com- pany gets around this point by saying that Harlan is more a competitive point than Oakland, since the Northwestern railway has a station, Kirkman, four miles away. On the same grounds that they are allowed to charge less for shipments from Couneil Bluffs than Avoca, by reason of the competition of other companies, they claim that they should alzo be allowed to charge less from Harlan than from Oakland. The court will have to decido whether Spangler has been discrim- inated against.

Result of a Forgery. Judge McGee held a session of the superior court yesterday and heard the evidence in the case of E. Relchart against James Bowen. | Both parties are from Neola. Mike Bowen, a son of the defendant, it is claimed, forged Lis father's name to a notesfor $105, which afterward fell Into the hands of John W, Woods & Sons, and a judgment was secured against Bowen in the Harrison county courts before he knew anything of it. When he learned that be had been sued on a note he lad never signed he raised an objection. B, Reichart in the meantime had advanced money to Mike Bowen to pay off the judg- ment” and then commenced suit against the father to recover, The latter naturally ob jected to this sort of procedure, but in con- ferenco with Bardsley & Killpack, a couple of attorneys doing business in Neola, the law- yers suggested that if he did not pay off the money they would prosecute young Bowen for forgery. By this sort of threats, Bowen clalms, he was forced to sign an agreement that he would pay off Reichart's claim. The present sult is on this claim. Bowen the clder is fighting the payment on the ground of fraud, duress and want of consideration.

White Ribbon Crusade Ended, SIOUX CITY, Feb. 16.—(Special Telegram.) —The white ribbon crusade against the saloons was not continued today. The ladies determined that another appearance of thelr band would be liable to cause a riot. The mayor had sworn in a large number of spe- clal policemen, but has declined to take any part in enforcing the law further than it is now observed. The county attorney, whom the mayor designates as the proper person to enforce the law, says it is not his husiness and there seems no prospect of an agree- ment. A meeting of citizens was held last night to discuss the assessment of city property for this year. There has been much discussion as to the basis on which it should be made, One proposition has been to nearly double the assessed valuation and make legal an s suo of bonds with which to fund the large floating debt of the city. Another has been to reduce the valuation and thus cut down the amount of state and county taxes the city must pay. The meeting favored the latter course and recommended it (o the assessors Union Loa DES MOINES, Ia., Feb. 16.—(Spec'al Tele. gram.)—Receiver W. M.

Rodgers, Jr., brings suit against the Columbus Carriage Manufacturing company, W. 8. Rodgers, A. D. Rodgers, Beal and Hamilton Poste, to test the income tax law. Plaintiff says he owns 147 shares of tock in the above com- pany, which is engaged in manufacturing and dealing in buggies, ete. The company for the year 1894 carned a Jarge amount of moncy above its expenses, and declared & dividend. The above named defendants are a majority of the board of directors, and by virtue of the in= come tax law Intend to pay the United States a tax of 2 per cent upon tho company's net profits for the year ending Decembar 81, 1894, Plaintift alleges that said law is unconstitu= tional, null and void, in that it s a direct tax in respect to the real estate holder and owner by the company, and Is likewise a di= reet tax upon the rents, issues and profits of | 821 real estate, and also upon its personal property, which direct taxes are not in and by said act apportioned among the several states as required by section 2 of the article of the constitution of the United States. Sald tax Is imposed on such corporations, although individuals transacting similar business under like conditions, and having like property, ete,, and income are exempt from the payment of sald tax, | 1y Winas | law, and asks that th Plaintift also alleges that persons holding stock in such corporations and receiving divi- dends therefrom and having other sources of income are exempt from the tax {f their net income 18 less than $4,000 per annum. The effcet of such companics being compelled to pay the tax will be (o le tne value of the shares of stock, decrease the dividends and compel such persons holding said shares, al- though their incomes are less than $4,000, to virtually pay such income tax. Plaintiff says his Income falls in thls category, and it the orporation is compelled to pay the tax he is algo forced to pay his share of it as a stock- holder. Plaintiff says that If the company pays the tax as it proposes to do he will be deprived of part of his income, and will have no remedy at law to recover the same. He states that a suit Is now pending in the sy preme court of the United States to test sald directors be enjolned from complylng with the law until that ques~ tion 13 determined.
