Morris Schonfleld, whose hand ‘was mys- teriously found in a cash box at the Driving park the other day, was given ten days for vagrancy in police court yesterday. This seemed to be the only thing that could be done with him, as the box was shut too quickly to ascertain positively just whether it had been on the point of steallng some money or was merely taking a rest. James Meek, a motorman on the Fifth avenue line, was somewhat hurt Thursday night while riding on his train along East Plerce street. A horse reared and threw his fore paws over the dashboard of the car, striking Meek on the chest and knocking him over, as well as injuring his hand, which lay on the brake lever. Meek was taken home by Conductor Bloom, but is able to resume work now. John Turner had a hearing before Justice Cook yesterday on the charge of stealing a coat from one Shales, at the Driving park. The evidence introduced by the state tended to show that a party of men had been sit- ting around in the park several days ago, when a lot of horses were driven up. All of them jumped up to see, and Turner not only saw, but went one better, for he skipped out with Shales' coat on his arm. A chase was glven him and Turner was caught. Shales 1dentified the coat in the presence of several officers, and it was turned over to him. Now Shales will not prosecute and the officers have been trying to make a cate on their own hook. Turner's lawyer wanted him die- charged on the ground that Shales had not fdentified the coat in court, but Justice Cook took the case under advisement until Mon- day morning at 9 o'clock es Farm loans made In western Towa at low- est rates.

Shea were to have been tried in the district court this morning, but the plan has been changed. Yesterday Judge Thornell etated that the case now on trial, that of Shaffer agalust the Take Manawa Raflway company, would oc- cupy all the thoe he had to devote Lere, and he could not think of stopping in the middle for fear he never would get througi. Mr. Shea was in the court roori and did the best he could to Induce the judge to change his mind, but without avail Judge Thornell is merely taking Judge Macy's place at the Council Bluffs term for a limited time, and he expected to leave for Harlan next Monday and allow Judge Macy to come here. Coluncl Reed, who is the principal defendant in the Manawa case, Is now sick and the trial is consequently tmpeded to such an extent that there seems to be some uncertainty as to when the end may be locoked for. Judge Thornell will stay here until it is finished, but the chances are that by that time the three weeks for equity trials will have b used up, and Shea’s cases will Lave to go over. The saloon kecpers say they intend to fight from tie drop of the hat. They are engaged in making a joint fight, and are preparing u campaign that they claim astrously for fheir common enemy. Where is not the slightest doubt that the mulet law In its extreme features has been disregarded by all of thew, and they are under the ban of the prohibitory law. They do not expect to try to prove that they are not, but merely to bring such a pressure to bear upon Shea that he will be glad to let up. They decline at this time to tell what they expect to do. “We received several propositions from at torneys,” said a well known Broadway sa- loou keeper yesterday, “who wanted to take charge of the defense. One of them offered to undertake the defense for $60 a ease. In talking over the matter he mentioned in- cidentally that he did not want to be ques- tioned (oo closely as to what he did with half of the $50. Now, of course, we do not know that he intendcd this as an implication t we could settle the cases for a sop of $25 euch, but to be strictly on the safe side we told him that before he got $25 out of us to settle we would see him in h—1 o far that he never would get out.” A FRUIT E wil result dis- L. HAVE HIBIT, ttawattamie Frult Growers to Be Reprexented in Omanhu. For some little time it has looked as though Pottawattamie county would not be repre- sented at the Nebraska state fair next week, owing to complications between the fruit growers and the management, but the trou- bles have been healed, and it has been at length ‘decided to go on with the prepara- tlons. The difficulty was mainly the result of either a real or a fancied lnkewarmness about the management, The lowans were cordially invited to take part in the fair, but were frankly given to understand that they need not expect to receive any premiums, owing to a provision in the by-laws. This was not known until the preparations were well under way, and then a number of the truit growers immediately withdrew. Other counsel has now prevailed, and the proba- bility is that Pottawattamie county, and southwestern Iowa in general, will have an exhibit of which Towa as a state may be proud; even if there is no chance of receiving premiums. J. P. Hess, president of the Coun- cil Bluffs Grape Growers' assoctation, and J. A. Herald will go to Omaha this morning to make all necessary arrangements for space and the like. The time is rather short for securing the fincst specimens, but much can be done in a week, with the magnificent stock the Iowans have from which to draw. CLOSING OUT! CLOSING OUT!

After the calt disappeared one exactly like it was found - in Bether's possession, and the police for some reason or other thought Bethers was a thief. When the trail got too hot Bethers changed his mind about selling the animal and killed it, burying its remains behind his father's barn. Bethers claimed the calf had not been identified with suffi- clent certainty, but the court could not be convinced and a jail sentence of thirty days was given him. Owing to ths fact, however, that old man Bethers promised that his son should attend Sunday school more regularly than in the past and otherwise show marks of a change of heart the court decided to suspend the sentence and let Bethers off with a reprimand, which was administered with all the eloquence Justice Cook had at his command. If Zed gets mixed up with other people’s chickens in the next year or commitz any other offense the sentence will be allowed to_drop. Fred Miller, alias Wirth, who helped him make off with the calf, was also given a thirty day term in jall. HOMESEEKERS' EXCURSION, Via Burlington Route. August 29, September 10 and 24.

One Is neelel to be a judge of the coming election, and anoiher could also be advantageously usel as a clerk. So far as was learned yesterday there is not a dem ocrat in the township. Quite a number of bills were audited and paid. The tax levy for the coming yeir will be three-fourths of a mill greater thin that for last year. The total is 621 mills, as com- pared with 61% for list year. The-e is an increase this year of 1 mi'l ‘n the sc)ool fund, and 1% mills In the county levy, whizh more than makes up for the decrease of 2 wills In the city levy, wh'ch was dce ded upon a few days ago.

Last night he started out to see what a western city looked like by moonlight. During the evening he ran across a couple of ladies In front of the Northwestern depot. Whether thelr intentions were honorable or not was a question which semed hard to decide, and he proceeded to investigate. While he was thus engaged he saw Oficer Welr coming from one direction and Officer Martin from the opposite. Weir called across the street to Martin, telling him to “see what that fellow’s got.” Ward at once jumped at the -conclusion that Welr was a dangerous highwayman and sought safety in fight.

Harris had all the sheriffs between Boone and Council Bluffs trying to serve warrants upon the old him. with abduotion, but as always one train behind the party the warrants were ineffective. Hood eluded Harris here by going to Omaha on the motor | and taking a Union Pacific train from an out of town station. Interest in the case has been revived by telegraphic reports from Los Angeles to the effect that Harris has suc- ceeded in recovering his wife and is enroute home with her, The Hardman plano wins many friends ROCKS, Drowned N | CLINTON, Ia., Special Tele- gran; tephen Church, mate of the 5 Verne Swaine, was drowncd last night a few miles below this city in attempt- Ing to cast anchor to get the boat off th rocks.

(Speclal.)—~The statistical register of the Young Men's Chris- tlan association for August shows the attend- ance at the men’s Sunday afternoon meetings to have been 134, visitors to rooms 875, batis given 246, of which twenty-four were tran- sient. The results of the first day’s tournament of the Malvern Chees and Checker c ub, held erday and today are as follows: Forty-two games of checkers played, of which Dr. C. B Knowles, Glenwood, won eighteen, lost none, draws six; R. W. Greenlee, Glenwood, wi thirteen, lost two, draws seven. .The series was not completed and will be finished this afternoon and evening. Unless a ‘“cracker- Jack' shows up today, Knowles will get first prize on checkers and Greenlee second, with third to be decided. The attendance was much emaller than was anticipated. There has been considerable talk about the big farmers in various portions of the west, but Mills county is entitled to a front rank in the procession. A few of the lead- ing corn growers are: Judge L. W. Tubbs of Emerson leads with 2,200 acres; Mr, Marion L. Evans, 2,000 acres; C. E. Bruen, Emerson, 1,600 acres: George T. Rew, Silver City, 1,300 acres, and H. H. Huffaker, 1,100 acres. As the average yield of corn this year in Mills county is estimated at fifty bushels per acre, it will be seen that these five men will gather 410,000 bushels of corn. As they are all extensive feeders and gen- erally buy more corn than they raise, they will ‘undoubtedly feed out all or more than they have raised. The elevators of Messrs, Wilkinson & Coats, whose headquarters are In Malvern, but who have elevators at Henderson, Tabor, Malvern and Clark, are now In full running order. Thus far this year, when the mar- keting of graln has only just commenced, they have taken in as much wheat as they have heretofore done in a full year. They have shipped thus far twelve cars of wheat and five cars of corn. There has been no old corn or rye offered. The prices at the ele- vators now are: For old corn, 20 cents; wheat, 40 cents; oats, 14 cents.
