Attachment listrict court about $45,000 W. Paul ani ment com ttaching 0, yesterday afternoon involving worth of the property of John the Union Land and Improve- editor, his claims while Finley Burke, attorney Paul and the Improvement company, claims amounting to more tFan $5,000. Paul is well known in Council Bluffs and Omaha as a hustler in real tate circles. For several years past he has been engaged in accumulating property i the northwestern part of the city, with a view to establi:hing manufacturing enterprises on a large scale. The improvement company, of which he is president, bhas about 500 acres, including nearly all the land in the city limits north of the levy, and Paul himself has a third inter- est in town lots, which altogether comprise about 110 acres, About a year ago a large amount of town property was bought up by him in the names of several people, and there were signs of a boom, which, for a time, set the real estate men all agog. It was reported that a contract was signed by which an enormous packing plant, with stock yard attached, was to be built north of the levy. Options were seized on all of the prop- erty as raptily as possible. But the stock ards and packing ho led to material- ize, and real estate has resumed condition. For several months past Paul ha been in Chicago, and only occasional rumors have been vouchsafed the public as to his intentions. In the principal suit commenced by Nash, he alleges that the Union Land and Improve: ment company borrowed $30,000 from him, giving two notes of $15,000 each, in Novem ber, 1894, The total amount due is $30,846, including unpaid interest. FORCED A SETTLEMENT. In the second suit Nash alleges that Paul borrowed from the Omaha Loan and Trust company $7.837 in 1891, giving as security three notes, all of which are long past due and unpaid. The only security he had, be- sides Paul's signature, was a few shares of Improvement company's stock. He has been unable to get any settlement out of Paul or any further security and so he has taken summary measures, He states that he would have been willing to give unlimited time if Paul had agreed to secure the notes by mort- gages on his real estate, but that he has re- fused to do so. Finley Burke appears as plaintiff in two suits, one against Paul individually and the other against the company. In the first he alieges that in October, 1894, a contract was entered Into by which ‘he agreed to perform certain services for Paul, in the way of ee curing optiogs on land located on ‘‘the is and,” northwest of the city, and looking after uch lawsuits as mizht arise in conne with them. Paul agreed to pay him for his services as coon as the land was ready to be conveyed to him and $3,000 when the suits were terminated. He has failed to do either one. In addition, he says he is the swner of no‘es and mortgages executel by Andrew Olson for $2,700. Paul asked to be lowed to use them temporarily as collateral for not more t 1 two weeks. But the two weeks have been indefinitely extended, Paui has converted the papers to his own use and now refuses to return them. He has also paid out $576 at Paul's request, and of this sum has received only $200 in payment. DETAILS OF THE SECOND SUIT. In the second suit, in which the Improve. ment company appears as defendant, he says hat he was engaged by the Ccompany through Paul, its president, to act as attorn for the corporation from April 1, 1894, to October 1 of the same year at a salary of $2,000. From the latter date to January 1 the sum of $250 was agreed upon as his re muneration, and from January 1, 1895, on he was to receive $416 a month. On_ this con- tract he says there is now due $3,250, be sides what is due on the contract with refer ence to ‘“the island.” In the latter suit the attachment is suel out on the ground that the company has al ready disposed of a part of its property to defraud its creditors and fs about to disposc of the rest, while in the former the ground is merely non-residence of Paul. In explaining his action Burke states that of his own accord he would not have eue out an attachment. He received a call Trom Nah's attorney, L. Croofoot of Omaha, the other day and was informed that he was about to commence attachment proceedings, and was invited to go in. In order to keep from holding the sack while the rest got the game, he had to accept the invitation, and will thus come in second on the division of the property, should a division result. Burlke however, has the greatest confidence in the final outcome of the real estate manipula- tions In the northwestern part of the city and thinks this litigation may be the means of hurrying up matters by inducing Paul to accept some of the offers he is known to have for his property, rather than hold out for a fabulous sum. amounting to for has STORE.

Looman, who has been living at the corner of Union and Voorhis streets, is in a peck of trouble on account of the sudden and unannounced departure of his wife from the city in company with her cousin, Henry Phil- lips, and her brother and his wife, r. and Mrs. George Potter. Last Saturday evening he came home from down town and his wife asked him to go back after some bread. He did so, and when he returned found the house had been cleaned out of what little furniture it contained and all four were missing. Sal- vation Walker, who returned yesterday from Onawa, where he had been attending a camp meeting, told Looman that he saw the party near Little Sioux, with a single rig with which they had left the city. Looman imme- diately made arrangements for a horse and buggy and will go to Dakota this morning to look for his wife. Mrs. Looman lived In Pueblo before her marriage and her brother has arrived here from that place recently, Phillips has been employed at the Revere house as a cook. Looman has been out of work for some time and has been hardly able to furnish his wife and her little 9 weeks'-0ld-baby with enough of the necessaries to keep them alive, He says the two men have been telling his wite that she could do much better in Dakota, and as she has but little will of her own have prevalled upon her to try the world with them.

A meeting of the Merchants and Manufac- turers’ assoclation was held yesterday after- noon for the purpose of taking some action with reference to the proposed leasing of the opera house by Elliott Alton.

The committee Is not expected to raise any funds, but merely to ask the sup- port of the citizens, which will undoubtedly be cheerfully given. Alton will take care of the financial part himself. He has not leassd the house, and says he will not do o until the committee has finished its work., He is well satisfied with the epirit shown by the Merchants and Manufacturers’ assoclation and the citizens with whom he has talked, and he has no hesitancy in saying that if the committee meets with the success he anticl- pates he will take the house and do his best toward giving the people of Council Bluffs a first-class place of amusement. les Are Delighted. in Council Bluffs at has more fascination ablishment of Whero © There is no locality the present time that for the ladies than the big e the Durfee Furniture company. It is one of the largest retail furniture houses in the state, covering three floors 100 feet long and forty wide. It is packed from top to bottom with the finest product of the furniture makers, and the newest ideas of the day. Among the beautiful things are some nificent mahogany rockers, and red rockers, so nearly like mahogany that can scarcely tell the difference. They are beautles that would delight any lady. = Nov- elties In couches and divans upholstered in silk brocatelle, corduroy and leather, parlor suites in oaks exquisitely carved and up- holstered in silk brocatelle, and damask arved mahogany chairs In siik Scotch fric £old leaf chairs and bri ac holders are a few of the cholce novelties. Among the special parlor suits are some carved red birch in silk damask that bear tags marked $35, when you confidently expected to see $75, and carved inlald hogany suits in silk damask at the same astonishing figure, You realize when you look at the goods and see the prices that the young men mean what they say when they announce that they want to make a million dollars, but want to make it off a million people. Other no ties and royal beauties are Turkish chairs in damask and leather. Among the couches is a curly birch back, with carved panels and oak frame, richly upholstered and only marked $20, a leather couch seven feet long and a yard wide, olive green color, marked $45, that would last forty-five years in daily use; brass and enameled bedsteads, dining table of quarter sawed oak and plano finish, folding beds in quarter oak and red birch music stands and corner pleces in the quaintest designs are among other novelties There is hardly a new plece made in the factorfes that is not to be found in some part of the big store, and there is something for every nook in the home.

There are about fifty families camping at Manawa, and the tented population is being increased every day. A. W. Riekman and family are the latest additions. They erected their canvas palace yesterday and occupied it last night. Only those who have enjoyed the delights of camping for a week or more can realize the pleasure that an outing at Man awa affords. It is o near town that the business man can keep in the closest touch with his business, and when the cares of the lay are over he can Jjoin his family and friends on the banks of the beautiful lake and have all the enjoyments of an outing 300 miles from home. The market gardeners 1round the lake make early morning calls in the canvas city and furnish their freshest and crispest vegetables, while the dairymen come with fresh butter, milk and cream. The big ice houses near by supply quantities of ice at prices that are not fixed by any scale or scales, and the chunk that is dropped off for a nickel would make the housewife in the city faint with surprise. If the appe- tites of the campers would not have the pro- voking habit of doubling in capacity house- keeping at the lake would cost far less than in the city, for the farmers and gardeners around the lake give generous measures of their best products. The tents are wonder- fully comfortable, and how people do sleep! An early morning dip in the lake, a row or I over its wide bosom or an exciting chaso after tho elusive black bass give an appetite for breakfast that paralyses the cook. More than half the people camping are from Omaha, and the most of them are business or professional men. For those who camp at Manhattan beach the steamer Liberty gets out in the lake and toots her whistle long and loud at 7 o'clock. At 7:25 she makes a quick trip across making con- nections with the 7:20 motor train, and this reaclies the Broadway depot in time to cateh the electric motor that passes the Paxton hotel . in Omaha each morning at §:15. The business man gets at his work at even an earlier hour than ordinarily, invigorated by the soundest sleep, the heartiest breakfast and brightened by rushing through nine miles of summer morning sunshine. Do they enjoy it? Well, ask them when they are going to move back to town and get the universal answer, “‘not as long as I can have as much fun as I am having now.” The social features of life at the lake are becoming very pleasant. Col- onel Reed's entertainments at the Grand Plaza are free to all each night and after- noon, excepting Sundays, and a ball in the pavillion is almost a nightly occurrence. The campers are about evenly divided on both sides of the lake, and each side has its social circles. The prospects are that the number of campers will be largely in- creased In the next few days, for all the crowd there are talking enthusiastically about the pleasures of the happy mode of existence, BURLINGTON ROUTE, Redaced liates, To Hot Springs, S. ., sale ust 2 trip.

The eupreme temple of the Patriarchal Circle of Americans convenes in annual ses- sion this morning at 10 o'clock in Patterson hall. An address of welcome will be d livered by Mayor Bemis after the busin of opening the supreme chapel has been concluded. Supreme Oracle C. H. Lovewell will respond. The balance of the morning will be consumed in acting upon the creden- tials of the numerous delegates who ai arriving from the various states and terri- tories, This order is prominent on account its military features and the members to wear the finest uniforms of any society. The organization is largely table and fraternal in its objects. Speaking of the order, Grand Oracle Van Vechten says: "It does not boast of anclent origin or seek in the dark recess of some old castle for manuscript or other evidence to prove its antiquity; it originated ten years ago, and has met with favor wherever it has been presented; it is adapted to the uses and pur- poses of today; no back number. It is composed of young business men, many of whom are already active in everything looking to the prosperity and growth ot the community in which they live; ready to fill the places of older men who have retired or soon will, or who have passed over the river. Upon young men, in a few years will depend the destinies of the countr Those who at this time guide and are i fluential in every movement relating to the z00d and welfare of the community will soon pass away or become too old longer to be troubled with care and anxiety.” Credentials thus far received are com prised in this list of delegates, many of whom are in the city: THOSE WHO TAKIK PART.

SIOUX CITY, July 9.—(Special Telegram.) —A suit just begun here has complicated the title to all the real property at Sargeants Bluffs, a town of 1,000 population, eight miles from here. The land was once owned and platted by J. T. M. Crockwell, who sold a few lots about 1860. About that time he died and the purchasers secured the vaca- tion of the plat and purchased the rest of the land from his heirs at a low price. They then replatted it and have since sold most of it for business and residence purposes. Crock- well’s heirs claim that the vacation of the plat was part of a scheme to depreciate the value of the land and get it for less than it was worth. They ask that the entire plat be =0ld and that they be given a share of the proceeds of m secret chari 0WA Sargeunts Bluffs SIOUX CITY, July 9.—(Special Telsgram.)— Reports from Sioux Center, forty miles north of here, are that watgr fn tubs and pails froze last night.

The opposition to Crafts was led by Judge Mitchel Stoskopf of Stephenson county. He was backed largely by country members, who disapproved of Crafts' action at the regular session. The idea of the opposition was that the republicans might split, and it Stoskopt were the democratic nominee he would re- ceive enough republican votes to elect him They held that he had many friends on the republican side who, should a eplit occur in their ranks, would vote for him. The Stoskopf people first tried to secure a recess until after the republican caucus, £o that it would be known if they would split Crafts’ follwers saw at once that this might prove fatal to their man and used all their might to defeat 1t and were successful. A some further wrangling a vote was taken and Crafts was chosen as the democratic nominee for speaker. The democratic mem- bers of the house held their cawcus in the senate judicial committee rooms immediate after the house adjournment, After discus ing as to the advisability of selecting some other democrat who would be more apt to win republican votes in case of a split In that party, a motion was made by Mr. Le Crones to defer nominations and take a re- cess until such time as the result of the re- publican caucus for speaker should be known The motion was lost. Mr, Stoskopf was the only democratic name presented besides Crafts. On roll call Crafts received twenty-nine and Stoskopf nineteen and on motion of Mr. Stoskopt he was de- clared the unanimous choice. The caucus of the republican members will support Herbert Muir for speaker to suc- ceed Meyer, deceased. This further compli- cates the fight for speakership. Barly this morning it was thought there were but two candidates for the honor. The republican leaders talked this way and every effort seemed to be tending toward the selection of one of these two men. It seemed an even though rather acrimonious, race, and efforts were spared by neither side to win votes Now that Cook has declared for Muir, it will be a three-sided fight, and it is highly probable that before the matter ends a dark horse will step in and carry oft the honors Thomas Needles of Washington county is at present about the only dark horse thought to be available. As soon as he arrived in the city after recess he announced that he would not take a hand in the race. He said it was an empty honor and he would under no condition take the speakership. This was in case the different factions of repubiicans could not agree upon a man, otherwise he would be a compromise candidate. Some of the country members have talked of Kitz- miller, but aside from him no one has been talked of. The Cook county caucus met in the state house immediately after the house adfourned. After a stormy session it was agreed to support their only available Cook county candidate, Muir, for speaker. This effort is, however, limited to two ballots only. After five ballots Cook county mem- bers are not further bound, but they will move to adjourn. But two names were voted on in the cau- cus. These were Muir and Gibson, all others withdrawing before a vote. This resulted Muir, 12; Gibson, 9 — - Bettliug Veierans in orgia.
