NEWS FROM COUNCIL BLUFFS Sheriff Hazen Finally Runs to Barth a 10-Year-0ld De perado, GOOSE CHASE INTO WESTERN KANSAS | Ofcer Tracks n House Breaker All Over the Sunflower State Only to Find the Party Wanted Was in Pot- tawattamie County. Sheriff Hazen has just returned from a 300-mile trip to Dickinson county, In western Kansas, which turned out to be a wild goos? | chase. About a year ago a young couple who lived a short distance southeast of Under- | wood, this county, were married. They | passed tho first night of thelr married carcer at the house of the father of one of them, and in the morning went to a home which | they had fitted up for themseives. When | they reached the house they found that one of the windows had been pried open and a | small amount of meney, together with a lot of wedding presents which had been left there, had been stolen. They traced the | theft to James Reed and Dell Carver, two nelghbor boys, and both were Indicted by the grand jury about a year ago. In some way or otlier*the prosecuting wit- nesses got the two boys confused. One of them was only about 10 years of age, while the oter was 16, They did not care to prosecute the smaller one, but put the sherift on the trail of Reed. The boy's parents moved away, and after considerable shifting around were located a few days ago in western Kansas, Sheriff Hazen secured req- ulsition papers and went after the boy. When he arrived at his home he was amazed to learn that the prosecuting witnesses had given him the description of the wrong boy, and the one lie had gone to so much trouble to get hold of was only 10 years of age. The least he could do was to give the boy a lec- ture, for he decided that if he should be brought back all that wonld be done with him would be to send him to the reform school. Carver, the older boy of the two, has been at home near Underwood all this time, and he could have heen arrested any time if the victims of the burglary had only known it. The trip cost the sheriff about $40, which will come out of his private exchequer, since the state only pays for the apprehension of criminals who are actually apprehended. THE HEIGHTS OF ASSAULTED SIN, Citizens Muke the First Sally In a Battle for Better Morals All Along the Line. Prompted by the belief that something sen- sational would- occur or the conviction that there were abuses in the city that required fmmediate corrcction by the citizenry, an immense crowd of people gathered at the Broadway Methodist church last evening. Those who expected sensationalism were very much disappointed, and gradually slippe but those who beleved that some re- forms were needed had their convictions ma- terfally strengthened before the last of the twenty or more short speeches were ended, The services were quite novel, and consisted of seven to ten minute talks by members of the congregation upon subjects covering a wide range of morality and immorality. After prayer by Colonel Hoagland, newsboy's friend,” the pastor, Mr. Dudiey, made a few eral introductory remarks, in he =aid there never had been a time in the history of the country when there was such a universal feeling on the part of Christian men and women to strike down crime in high and low places. Last Sunday from every pul- pit in Chicago and nearly every one in the land were sounded words of warning, and this meeting was to be along the same lin pleading for municipal reform and the sacred- ness of governmeut. That the meeting might not appear to be dominated by the pastors, but shown to be the free movement and expression of the members- and citizens, Prof. Paulson was called upon to preside. In taking his place he sald that the object of the meeting was to create a new sentiment to frown down, not the whisky traffic and the gambling dens alone, but every other form of vic: and sin. Many wrongs start in the homes of Christian people. Drunkenness follows close upon the heels of the tobacco habit. Gambling is not far behind progressive high five, and libidin- ous sins are close to the society dance. If Christian people have their cellars filled with wines and liquors they have no right to howl down the saloon. Reform in business was also demanded that would exclude the below cost and bargaln sales that are so dear to the souls of the women. He warmly ap- proved Kaiser Wilhelm's idea on this subject. Reform in politics was also sorely demanded. San Francisco was not a worse city than Chicago, New York or some smaller towns that we are better acquainted with, yet men paid thousands of dollars there to be elected to the school board, an office without a lary. 3 %aw and its enforcement was a subject that occupied ten very eloquent minutes of the time of Attorney Jacob S'ms. ' Indiffer- ence to law and its enforcement had a bad eftect. The presence of the great audience was a magnificent testimonial to the fact that the better element of the people of Council Bluffs favorcd the enforcement of all the laws that were wholesome and good. The saloon had no legal standing, and could be wiped out of existence as easily as the gam- bling houses, which could be destroyed at a word from the city officers. Officers of the law and their duty were dis- cussed by Dr. Gordon. Colonel L. W. Tul- leys spoke on the subject of the foundation of municpal progress, and discovered that the tendency of late years had been back- ward instead of forward. “Does Deflance of Law Pay?” was a ques- tion answered very emphatically in the nega- tive by Rey, Mr. Hoover. Duties of Christian citizenship were explained by J. W, Syl- vester, a bright young man, with a loud voice. A. A. Hart told about the tribute of blood demanded by the Moloch of municipal crime. Tl Relation of the Saloon to the Home" was gven Mr. R. R. Randall as a text for ten minutes of carnest and eloquent oratory, but James McCabe was given twenty min- utes to discuss our responsibility. He grew very eloquent, and his time was extended by general consent. He sald that every officer of the law who sanctions its violation should be in the penitentiary, and weuld be there if the grand juries d'd their duty. He said he could pick out fifty men from the audience before him and enforce every law in the city. Social purity was discussed by H. A. Cole very earnestly and ably, and then Colonel Hoagland made a characteristic speech. A resolution pledging the earnest support to all officers of the law, of whatever party, who would stand for the enforcement of all the laws, and the unalterable condemnation of all who fail or refuse to do so, was passed by a rising vote. At other churches in the city sermons were delivered along somewhat the same line. Rev. T. W. Williams preached on the subject “It Christ Camo to Council Bluffs’ Rev E. W. Allen, pastor of the Christian church, by request of Rev. Mr. Dudley, preached on temperance, and at the evening service at the First Presbyterian Dr. Stephen Phelps de- nounced the city government for accepting | money from the saloon keepers in return for the liberty of running saloons. At present it looks as if there was an organized effort among the churches to st'r up the temperance question in the sensational way adopted in a few other cities, “the ¥ree Tickets To the greatest show on earth, commencing Monday, February 25.

The candidates for aldermen are having a peck of trouble from a certaln class of un- feeling *‘const'tooents,”” who persist in ask- ing embarrassing questicns just at the wrong time. One frultful source of grief to the average candidate is the G-cent fare question, The other morning a candidate was in his office, surrounded with a number of volers whom he thought he had just about brought around to his way of thinking, when a man entered and walked up to the candidate, fir- ing at him this question: ““Mr. —, what po- sition do you cccupy on the 5-cent fare ques- tion?" The candidate had fondly hoped that that question had been buried, once for all, and he was almost knocked spechless by its sudden resurrection. After a gasp he said: “Just come outslde here a minute, wen't you?" Outside the office the presumption is that he explained his position eatisfactorily, or, at least, induced his constituent to bottle up his curiosity until after election. The above dialogue did not Indicate that anyone Is agitating the 5-cent fare question as it was agitated a couple of years ago, for it was talked to death at that time, and the wish Is quite generally expressed that it may stay dead as long as possible. But there are a few people who enjoy springing the question on the candidates once in a while, merely for the purpose of seeing them equirm. The question is an unwelcome one to all the candidates, of whatever party they may b Councilmen Keller, White and Nicholson were elected two years ago on a Death to Motor Company” platform, and were pledged to the demolition of that cor- poration as soon as possible. They are now | candidates for re-election, and it is stated unofficially that the dividend declared by the motor directors last year was about as large s any previous one. It Is natural that they should be willing to change the subject, while the republican candidates are equally averse to_committing themselves on so ticklish a subject.

Sioux City Journal: The number of per- sons to be benefited by the amendment of the law is not large. Lawyers, hotel keepers, newspaper correspondents and detectives may reap some benefit, but the state will lose in reputation in the good will and respect of the people of every other State and the right minded people of South Dakota many times the paltry gain through a few more divorce suits, Unnecessary 'recaution. Taylor County Démocrat: The fish com- mission of Towa has given notice that all violators of the’figh laws of the state will be prosecuted to the full extent of the law. The notice is unnecessary o far as this part of the state is concerned—this winter will leave no fish worth mentioning in_the dry chan- nels of the streams. Possibly a few mul cats and some of the suckers will survive, but the scale fishes will not escape from the general destruction. Burlington Gazette many places for wnn Squeeze. The Gazette hears of legislation in lowa this coming winter. One that seems to strike a particularly favorable keynote is the query why the Pullman Car company charges $2 for a berth from Burlington to Chicago when it is only $1 and $1.50 from Cedar Rap- ids, Davenport, Dubuque and other lowa towns. Isn't it time that some of the pro- tection afforded this great corporation be spread among the people? Nuppose, Sioux City Tribune: Suppose the mulet act 1s enforced rigidly; suppose every one of ite hundred or more restrictions are enforced to the letter; suppose as a result of this policy the open saloon is driven out of business. Has the community gained anyth'ng by t Has it not re-established the condition from which fowa has been vainly endeavoring to escape for over ten years? Herein Is suggested one of the principal defects of the hybrid act which the last legislature passed. If the law is applied in its full virulence probably the open saloon will disappear and the se- cret saloon will appear. 1If it is not enforced in every particular, minor us well as major, the door is left open for any crank or set of cranks to destrcy property and business interests by injunction and by all the ac- cumulated penalties which the prohibitory laws embrace. ———— INFORMATION WANTED. AMES, Neb., Feb. 2/.—To the Editor of The Bee: It Is a curious thing that your late strictures on the State Rellef commis- slon have not provoked more discussion, as I do not recall having seen much either in defense of the commission or against it. But if the condition of a large number of the citizens of the state shall prove to be critical a great responsibility attaches to some one for not properly attending to this matter. I do not even know enough about it, for instance, to have any idea whether or not the receipts of merchandise or money by the commission have been in any way diminished by the charges made against its management. I should natur- ally suppose that this would be the result; and if a large number of farmers in the western half of this state fail to receive assistance in feed and supplies of seed that they must have in April and May and_If any considerable area of valuab land fails to be properly tilled by the honest and needy persons who own it, as one of the results of the discredit to'the commission, it will be more discreditable to the state as a commonwealth than one can casily find words to describe. Throughout the entire winter it has been o perfect marvel to me that definite and reliable I formation as to the operations of the com- mission has not been daily printed in the papers, and as to the actual condition and necessities of our fellow citizens who are entitled to our consideration and assist- ance. There appear to have been various avenues for the reception of goods and money and for their distribution, as we hear of a good deal going through direct to local clergymen. There is also more or less talk about swindling, or the fear of it. All of this business should properly o through cne channel, to avold unnecessary duplications, and with a good organization at Lincoln ‘and a good county "organiza- tion, T see no reason why everything could not ‘have been done with perfect satisfac- tion to all, and at very reasonable cost. The important provision to make is for feed and seed, 5o that farming can be resumed without 'serious disturbance, I am in- clined to think that the aggregate neces- sity of this must be a very great figure, and I think that the public of the stat ought to know how great the necessity is likely to be, and whether or not it Is going to be properly taken care of.

Thus ends the at- mpted realization of one of the most beau- tiful visions ever pictured by man. The history of Tearla from its inception to the present is one of much iInterest Four miles eastward from New lcarian community, village of eight cottage a large hall, to- gether with barns and outbuildings. It.fs situated on a sightly elevation, level in its immediate vicinity, but gradually becoming broken. The population of this little hamlet is but twenty souls, representing five fami- lies, though It has lald a history of which volumes might be written, The history of Icaria ench revolution, lie theory of commpnism Is an old one and apace with the social evils that augmented the French revolution took deep root in the hearts of that people. Briefly epitomized, communism Is the doctrine of Christ. It is an attempt to follow his teachings; to bury self and selfishness; to recognize the universal brotherhood of man and to labor for the im- provement of the common lot of humanity. To the propagating of this theory was de- voted the life of Etienne Cabet, an enthusiast who incurred the wrath of Louis Philippe and was sentenced to two years' imprison- ment for socilistic utterances. Preferring exile he went to London, where he remained for a_period of nearly five years, and wrote “Le Voyage en Iearia,” which he published on his return to Paris.” This was an extrav gant work descriptive of an ideal soclety liv ing in-peace and plenty, a revolution having substituted equality for all class distinction. He composed in clear style and attractive form his Icarian system of social organiza- ticn. There soon raliled around him the most earnest and devoted citizens that were found in the ranks of the social reformers. From all sides came disciples in multitudes, GREW TO LARGE PROPORTIONS. The propaganda was so effective, so skill- fully directed, even in the hamlets, that in a few years the Icarian school numbered 400,- 000 adherents. Cabet had often said to his friends that a long course of education should prepare the people for a communistic life; ite premature and partial realization would be more danger- ous than useful. But challenged on all sides to prove the practicability of his system, he resolved to silence his adversarles by the establishment of a vast experimental colony This decision was warmly greeted and it was arranged that an zdvance guard of sixty- nine Icarians should start for .Texas, where a large grant of land bad been secured in the Red river country. The advance guard sailed from Havre February 3, 1848, “Another band of nineteen persons embarked the following June. This colony was almost annihilated by malaria and yeliow féver. Disheartened in spirit and broken in Nealth, the remain- ing few started to return to Trance, but at New Orleans met 400 recruits, who were fol- lowed by Cabet. : Hope again gained the astendancy, and with Cabet for a Moses they journcyed to Nauvoo, IlL, which was ithen being aban- Qoned by the Mormons. ' = i Here for a while prosperity gmiled on them. They built shops, established & printing office and a theater, and tilled the gofl. They grew in numbers and at one time:the new Eden contained 1,500 souls, llving ag nearlycon an equality as could be imagined. "Cabet, though a philosopher, lacked ability to govern, and finally too much of a dictatorial attitude brought him in disfavor with the majfority and the colony became disrupted In 1854, The greater number of tho Icarians either drifted back to France or removed to other localities to fight the battles of life alone. A small band went with their leader to St. Louls, where he died in 1856. SETTLED IN I0WA. A band cf sixty-nine, in whose hearts the fire still burned, journeyed westward to ‘Adams county, Iowa, and founded the French colony which in 1874 became chartered under the ‘laws of Iowa and adopted the name carlan Community. T ene they purchased 4,000 acres of land and assumed an indebtedness of $20,000, mort- gaging their land to escure it. Rude houses of logs were constructed, and for many years theirs was a hard lot, toiling incessantly to better their condition. The civil war coming on and the natural rise in the value of ag- rleultural products and the sacrific2 of some of their land eventually placed them in easter circumstances, and in 1874 they were found debt free. Graver troubles than hovering over Icaria. Isolation, privations and absorbing labor, perhaps also the effects of age, had totally eftaced in the yes of the Icarians the moral mission of Icaria. Very little cared they for its social'stic character, or desired to yleld to the consequences of its legitimate des- tiny. The young generation had become im- bued with a spirit of pregress, while the old folks remained In a state of immobility. The Internal views diverged so that in 1879 it became Impossible to longer dwell together, and the colony was severed. Among the progressive were some of the older heads, while among the non-progress- fves were found some of the younger genera- tion. The court dissolved their charter, and the old branch removed one mile eastward and formed the “New Icarian Community," which s mentioned in the beginning of this article, The younger branch retained the old name, “Icarfan Community.” This branch became extinet about seven years ago, its members scattered, and the lands have passed into other hands. BREAK-UP HAD TO COME. The old-new branch prospered, and now possesses over 1,000 acres of land, valued at $30,000, and personal property to the extent of $10,000, For several years it has ben quite apparent that the dissolution was oniy & question of time, By mutual agreement they have asked that a rece.ver be appoint:d, and accordingly Mr. E. F. Bettannier, the president of the colony, has been appointed to act in that capacity, He will proceed to sell the lands and settle up.with all, accord- Ing to law. Owing to the peculiar laws of the colony and to the fact; that there are some minor helrs who are nat at present res- idents of the community, i a!" be a tedious and complicated affair. The causes that led tg the dissolution are perhaps as much due to an juternal cuterop ping of selfishness as the not-to-be-avoided contact with the eelfish and larger mass of humanity without, which, has, felt nothing in common with the little band which has | struggled agalnst fate o enforce its con- victions. The death of ofd ‘members, w'thout any accessicn from without, has also reduced the colony almost to cne kin, and clannish tendencles are developing, *” Of the days of old Ichrfa!’ when all lived | peacefully and happily togéther, and after | they had become startéd’'on the road to| prosperity, many pleasant evénts can be re- corded.

Everything was held fn common. Every family had its own private home, but one large hall served all when the “inner man" was feasted. Their clothing was all alike in quality, excepting that allowances were made for differences in age, and each might chocee his particular color. The executive powers of the colony were vested In a president and two directors. Bach male or female citizen of 21 years had a volce in making the laws, and all constituted the general assembly. Icarla s perhaps the most realistic of all the soclalistic colonles founded in the United States, if nct in the world. It will soon cease to ex'st. Whether or not the principle will ever be so perfectly applied as to be a suc- cess may be left to Bellamy or Count Tolstol to solve, NOTES FROM BUSY CRESTO Many Minor Items from the Uustling Metropolls of Unlon County.

NEWTON, Ia, Feb. 24.—This community vas greatly shocked this morning when the news spread that J. R. Zollinger, a prominent merchant and an ex-sheriff, was found dead, probably murdered. Mr. Zollinger left his place of business about 9:20 and when he reached home his wife noticed blood flowing down his face, and on inquiring what was tho matter he stated that he had fallen or had been hit. These are the last words he said. A physician was summoned, and, on examination, a large gash was found on his head. He never regained consciousness, but died between 12 and 1 o'clock. It Is gen- erally believed he was waylaid, and the thug, failing to bring down his victim, fled without accomplishing his purpose—that of robbery— nothing on his person having been taken. Two clubs were found near the spot where the first blood was visible. Mr. Zollinger had been a captain in the army and was a Mason and G. A. R.

It fs a pltiable sight to stand at the gate to the Maritime exchange as the door keepers are besieged by anxious wives and other rel- atlves of seamen who went out to sea vious to the great storm of the 7th instant and have not yet been heard from. The rel. atives of Captain Oliver of the Philadelphia schooner, Emma J. Meyer, which sailed from Charleston fourteen days ago, and has not aince been heard from, are almost prostrated with grief, as they belicve the vessel has foundered, and that all hands, elght In number have been lost.

Brown, manned by a crew cf seven men, salled from this port bound for Wiscasset Me., but since then no tidings have been had of her and it Is thought likely she, too, met with the gale of the 7th instant and foundered with all hands. Nothing has ever entrance pr been heard from the schooner Governor Ames, which sailed from Salem early in the month for Philadeplhia or Baltimore. She ia man- ned by a crew of nine men, of the Philadelphia schooner Maggie Dalling which was passed at sea on the 13th instant erlogged and with masts gone, have not yet been heard frem and friends of the crew are becoming extremely anxious. Many other ve 1s are missing and some have no doubt foundered in the eame gale. Capta'n Dalling Umatillas Want sh on Thelr Cluim.
