NEWS FROM COUNCIL BLUFFS Bingnlar Montal Malady Afflicts Three Members of the Police Foros, COULD NOT REMZMBER WHAT HAPPENED Enability to Accurately Loeate Several Oc- carrences Results in Cff Hough Golng Free—1is Brot atest Demonstration By the time that CUf Hough's trial was over In police court yesterday morning there was rome doubt as to which of the three police officers who saw the outbreak was telling the truth. The crime with which Hough Is charged occurred shortly after the war, and his cate has been continued from time to time ever since. In the meantime cobwebs have been growing on the memories of Officers Gardner, Slead and Claar. None of them told anything like the same story, although all three were together at time. They disagreed In cvery detail, ex- cepting that they all testified that Hough used some profane language. Officer Claar was unable to offer any satisfactory explanation why he pulled his gun on Hough, for he could not remem- ber that any resistance was made to the ar- rost. It was a disgusted lot of officials that filed out of the gourt room after court had adjourned. The ‘case was continued again until next Wednesday, in the hope that soime more testimony can be secured by that time on behalf of the state. Selly Hough had his periodical outburst Thursday night in May & Smith's saloon. He was In renewing acquaintance with a number of cronles whom he had mot seen recently, and s described as belng strictly sober. Martin Oleson wandered in. with footsteps that wobbled with the wefght of & large brewery output. Oleson had a new paper in his hand and was about to vead it when Hough grabbed it away from him and accused him of stealing it. Olexon called him a lar, whereupon he struck Oleson in the face. Oleson retorted with one of the same Kind, and Hough selzed a chalr and knocked him down. Ie then proceeded to pummel -Oleson about the head, and by the time he was through his victim was almost sober. There were no arrests, although it Is said that Officer Martin was across the street at the time the disturbance was going on. Closed all day tods FOWL| open Monday 1 p. m. DICK & WALKER. Con da't Stay Away. Charles Wilson, who wandered Into Mrs. Benedict’s hotel on Lower Main street a few nights ago and made off with a suit of clothes and vallse belonging to a man named Tucker, was given a hearing yesterday in Justice Cook's court. Tucker claimed the stolen goods were worth $22, and if he could have proved it Wilson's road to the peniten- tiary would have been a straight one. But unfortunately two clothing merchants who were called upon to glve their opinion esti- mated its value at less than $1. Wilson finally decided to enter a plea of guilty to the charge of petty larceny, and was sen- tenced to a term of twenty-five days in the county jail. Wilson, it seems, is not Wilson any more than he is several other persons About a year and a half he was sent to the penitentiary at Madison for larceny in this city, and he got out of the penitentiary January 22. At that time he was known as L. C. Taylor. Under several other aliases he has committed no less than & half dozen erimes in this vicinity, several of which sent him across the state. On one occasion he stole a trunk bodily out of the Kiel hotel, letting it down from an upstairs window by a rope. But he was caught in the act and convicted.

Cartan of Omaha was in the city yesterday consulting with his client, Hans Schmittlein, the young German who was caught in the act of passing forged checks on a number of Council Bluffs people. He has been corresponding with Schmittlein's father, who is a well-to-do merchant in Germany, for the purpose of inducing the father if possible to send money with which to square up the accounts against the son. A letter has been received from him stating that he sent his son $1,200 not long ago, and that it all disappeared within four months, and he does not care to send any more. The rospects now are that the young man will ave to hoe his own row, and in that event he will undoubtedly go across the state, for his victims have declared their intention to prosecute him. Yesterday Schmittlein re- ceived a call from a girl in Omaha to whom he is said to be engaged. She has called on him a number of times lately, and secms to cling to her unfortunate lover closer than a brother.

SALEM, Ore., Feb. 22.—Only one day of the legislative session remains, and unless a United States senator is elected before mid- night tomorrow Oregon will have but one representative in the upper branch of con- gress for the next two years, Dolph's strength is gradually melting away, and it is practically settled that he cannot be elected. He .lost two more votes today, which brings his ‘vote down to 37, or nine short of a ma- jority. The opposition say they are working in the interest of no particular candidate, but their fight Is “anything to, defeat Dolph.” They say they stand ready to vote for any one else that the Dolph ien may put for- ward, but the opposition to Dolph is firm and ‘determined. George H. Williams re- ceived the opposition vote today with the ex- ception of two. He Is looked upon with fa- vor by many of the Dolph men, but they fecl it incumbent upon them to vote for the caucus nominee as long as there is a chanc: of elec- tion. At 10 o'clock tonight the Dolph men will caucus and declde whether to prevent an election or name a man upon whom the opposition will unite, In the event of a break from Dolph or a decision on the part of his supporters to name a man the support is liable to go to George Williams, Governor Lord or C. W. Fulton of Astoria. The pop- ulists and democrats have decided to take no part in the fight. to Rhode Istand Vrohibition Noj PROVIDENCE, R.

TO SATISFY THE CREDITORS, 1 Road to Be Sold by the Sheriff Toduy. SIOUX CITY, Feb, ~(Special Tele- gram.)—The clevated railroad will be sold tomorrow at 10 o'clock by the sheriff. When 1t was put in operation five years ago it was the third eclevated road in the United States and was the city's pride. It has never pald mere than operating ex- penses and has been in the hands of a re- celver most of the time. There are incum- brances against it of about $360,000, of which the greater part is on_bonds, and the rest in mechanics' liens. The heaviest of the liens are held by the Northern Car company of Minneapolis and by eastern people Who have bought receivers' certifi- cut There are seven claimants who hive 1o interest except to be sure the road brings enough cash to pay them. o bonds, held "in the main by the Bridge company of Cleveland, are second to the other claims. It is expected the bondholders will buy the line, although there are complications that make it pos- sible that some of the lien holders, all of whom are preps o bid, will take it. Sloux Clty's Hins red the (reamery Men, MASON CITY, Ia, Feb, 22.—(Special)— The decision just rendered by George L. Gilbert, internal revenue collector for this district, that co-operative creameries are sub- ject to the provisions of the new income tax law, has caused surprise and consternation in this section, where co-operative creamerles are as plentiful as school houses. Officers find it almost impossible to mak: the re- quired reports, as milk is gathered from house to house among members, taken to the fac- tory, made into butter and sold. “The en- tire receipts, less cost of manufacture, are divided pro rata among those furnishing the milk. There is no market value for milk at the farms, except that made by its sale as butter after it leaves the creamery, so that any value placed upon milk, less than the price of butter, less cost of making for pur- pose of showing profit for taxation, would be a tax on labor. At least this Is the view taken by the creamery manag: Under this view it is difficult to see where there can be any returns from this source, Investignting Uies Moines Ofelals, DES MOINES, Feb. 22.—(Special Tele- #ram.)—The investigation of the charge: against Mayor HIillis was brought to a close this afternoon, when one of the wit- nesses refused to testify, and denied the right_of the council to compel him to do 80.

KANSAS CITY, Feb. 22.—Delegates to the conference of the National Reform Press asso ciation, which convened today, profess to believe nothing out of the ordinary will be transacted at the convention, notwith- standing repeated rumors to the contrary. A secret meeting of the. executive committee was held last evening, however, and it is said to portend dissenslons. Reporters were not_admitted. That = fight on the future policy of the peoplo’s party on finances is to be made seems (o be generally accepted as a foregone conclusion. Among the prominent delegates here are: Dr. S. McLallin of Topeka, who opposed th> calling of the convention, and who has promised a fight; Paul Vandervoort, commander-in-chief of the Industrial legion, of Omaha; John W. Breidenthal, chairman of the Kansis state central committee of the peopla's party, and A. Roselle of the same committes in Missouri. Up to 1 o'clock this afternoon the time was spent in considering the advisability of establishing a national news bureau In Kansas City. At thal time no decision had been reached and the matter was referred to a committee of five for’consideration and report. S. C. McClallin, editor of the Advocate, of Topeka, Kan., has put on war paint and has made threats that unless ithe people’s party managers come around to his way of think- ing he proposes tolcreate a disturbance within the ranks whieh may have the effect of disrupting the present organization. M- Clallin_ charges that theretis an effort on to betray the party into the hands of its enemies. ] Hon. H. E. Taubeneck, the chairman of the people’s party national organization, has sent an ultimatum all. the way from Washing- ton, setting forth his views as to how the party should be managed, and threatening that unless these are; carried he will resign his present position. Thedelegates are now in_executive session.. One of the members stated fo ‘an Assoclated prers representative that the prospects were good for'd long and acrimonious session. Carl Browne is on the ground strongly ad- vocating Jacob Coxey for the presidential nominaticn by the people’s party in 1806. The executive committe held a long session in which a heated discussjon of President Taubenecke's letter was had. It was plainly the sense of the majority that Taubenccke’s proposition was entirely inimicable to the in- terests of the people’s party. The following commitiee was appointed to draft resolu- tions: F. K. Burkett, Mississippl; Harry Tracey, Texas; W. A. Hotckiss, Minnesota; Dr. 8. McLallin, Kansas; J. P. Dixon, Mis- souri. The commission reported a set of resolutions declaring it to be the sense of the convention that any one who would work for or suggest such divergent ideas as man- ifested by Taubenecke were traitors to the cause and unworthy of the party's support. The resolutions were unanimously adopted. Chalrman Taubenecke, in his letter, which was not made public, is said to have declared directly for the free colnage of silver and to have stated it as his opinion such a proposi- on should be taken by the people's pari ome of the leaders of the populist party, mong them Dr. S. M. McLallin of Topeka, accused Taubenecke of designs to betray the populist party into the hands of a new third party, said to be organjzing in Washington, called the silver party. Taubenecke is ac- cused of wanting to side track the other parts of the platform of the populists, and substitute a silver platform, At the evening session, which had been set aside for a discussion of silver, that topic was deferred till tomorrow, and ‘the election of officert was proceeded wish. Melton Parke of the Southern Mercury, Dallas, Tex., was elected president, with but little opposition. The other officers named are: W. A. Hotch- kiss of the National Republican, Preston, Minn,, vice president; W. S. Morgan of the Buzz Saw, Hardy, Ark,, secretary and treas- urer; executive committe, J. H. McDowell, Nashville, Tenn.; Paul J.' Dixon, Chillicothe, Mo.; C. H. Matthews, Indianapolis, Ind.; E. S. Peters, Calvert, Tex.; W. L. Brown, Kingman, Kan. The business of the eonvention will be con- cluded tomorrow, when a fight on the finan- clal question 1s looked for.

The assoclation as organized includes in its membership the teachers of Douglas, Washington, Burt, Sarpy, Cass, Otoe, Saun ders and Dodge counties. It is an extension of an organization that was partially com- pleted at Plattsmouth six months ago, but which only consisted of the teachers of three counties. Other counties made application for admittance, until it was decided tc practically form a new organization, and this decision is being consummated in the meeting that was held yesterday and will be continued today. The sessions are being held in the large south room on the fifth flcor of the city hall, which had been fitted up for the occasion. The walls of the room were profusely dec- erated with the three colors of the national flag, in honor of Wishington's birthday, while directly in front of the audience was placed a large portrait cf the hero. The sessions yesterday were not as attended as they will be today, as in several of the counties school was held and the teachers were unable to attend, On account of the holiday the city teachers did not turn out in great force, but many are expected to be present today. Superintendent Hill of called the meeting to order at 2 o'clock and immediately proceeded with the program. Miss Towne of the city rendered a plano solo, after which W. B. Lower of Bellevue delivered an invocation. Mayor Bemis then welcomed the visitors to the city. ELECTION OF OFFICERS. At the conclusion of these preliminaries the meeting settled down to business. Mr Hill stated that the purpose of the associa- tion was to admit all the counties in the east- ern part of the state that desired admittance. He suggested that the meeting immediately proceed to the election of officers. It was de- cided that the officers should consist of a president, a secretary, a treasurer and a vice president from each of the counties repre- sented. AMhough there was a little clashing the officers, with the exception of the vice presidents, were unanimously elected as fol- Io President, George W. Hill of Douglas county; secretary, W. B. Lower of Sarpy county; treasurer, Miss Hop> Hornby of Sarpy county. The vice presidents were not elected, the teachers of each county being al- lowed fo make the choice. W. N. Halsey of Cass county, J. A mings of Douglas county and G. W. Sarpy county were named a committee draft a constitution and by-laws. The question of choosing a place for the next meeting created considerable discussion and_apparently some feeling. A motion was made that Omaha be made the permanent place of meeting of the association. This mo- tion was not liked by some of the teachers from the outside counties, who wanted the meotings to go to each one of the counties in turn. The matter was laid on the table, to be taken up before the close of the session, The meeting was closed with a violin solo by Charles Higgins, accompanied on the plano by Miss Bessie Higgins, They were compelled to respond to an encore. S. E.

'here 1s no period in a mother's life that brings more anxious care than when she sees her daughters, who are blossoming into womanhood, beginning to attract the atten- tion of young men, and it becomes evident to the mother at least that simple friendiy relations are fast developing into something stronger and closer. A wise mother may not nxiety to her daughters, or tell (hem to what she sees this friendship tes ing, but influenced by the loving companion- ship and counsels which have constantly sed the from earliest childhood, the to s of the pecullar characteristics which should be plainly developed in a lover.
