This question was referred to the city S TROUBLES. attorney to report on. Some of the alder- men are inclined to the opinion that the levy is excessive and should not exceed 1 mill, a8 heretofore. The city engineer was granted authority by resolution to purchase sufficient stone for repairing the stone dam in the creek at First street, which was badly damaged by the last flood. The question of grading Avenus H between Eighth and Bleventh streets was referred to the committee on streets and alleys and the city englueer was instructed to prepare an estimate of the probable amount that the city would have to pay out of the general fund for such improvement over and above the amount that eould be legally assessed against the abutting property. On motion of Alderman Boyer the city engineer was turther instructed to prepare an estimate showing the probable cost to the city of the paving on the streets, the contract for which bas been awarded to B. P. Wickham, over and above the amount which can be as- sessed to the abutting property. Tho fire and light committee was in- structed, on motion of Alderman Brown, to place a fire alarm box at the corner of Six-| teenth avenue and High street, the cost| of same, amounting to about $204, to be| paid out of the contingent fund. | More Clalms for Damages.

Both claims were | referred to the judiclary committee. Mary Thompson presented a petition ask- Ing that the flue which her husband, Anton Thompson, had paid futo the city treasury for being drunk be remitted. She sald thel money wos what they had saved to pay off a chattel mortgage on their furniture and that it was taken from her husband when arrested and his fine paid out of it the next morning. She sald further that her husband's “drunkenness on the afore- sald occasion was something unusual.”” HAS Foreman of a Syrup Factory Has One Wife More Than He Nceds. M. J. Higglns, foreman of the Smith Re- fining company, living at 1506 Ninth ave- nue, is baving trouble as a result of his matrimonial ventures. He and his wife, nee Rebecca M. Riley, & young woman of this city whom he married March 22 last, were arrested yesterday afternoon on @ warrant {ssued from the court of Justice Vien. Mrs. Maggie Higgins, who claims to be still the wife of M. J. Higglns, filed the complaint, In which she charges her husband and Mrs. Higgins No. 2 with sus- taining the relation of man and wife in June, 1899. Mr. and Mrs. Higgins gave ball in the sum of $500 each and their pre- liminary hearing is set for mext Saturday. Higgins up to the beginning of this year an employe of Farrell & Co. of Omaha and resided in that ¢ When the Smith Refining company opened business in this city he decided to cast his lot with them and removed to Council Bluffs to live. On March 16 last he secured, as he claim & divorce from Mrs. Maggle Higgins in Judge Fawcett's court in Douglas county, Neb. On March 22, or six days later, he was married in this city by Justice Ferrler to Mies Mamle Riley, a resident of Coun- cil Blufts. The records at the court house show that at that time Higgins gave his residence as Omaha. The offense with which Higgins and his wife are charged is alleged to have oc- curred in June, 1899, prior to Higgins s curing his divorce. Under the laws of N braska @ person securing a divorce is pro- hibited from marrylng again within six months, Mrs. Higgins No. 1 says it is her intention to apply to the courts to have the divorce set aside and threatens more trouble for her former husband in the shape of further criminal proceedings.

The at torney geucralship depends to a large ex- tent upon the nominations made for secre- tary and treasurer of state, which ¢ e b fore that of attorney general in the nomi- nations of officers. The supreme judgeship will scarcely in- terfere with the attorney generalship situ- ation unless a clean cut slate for the four offices is prepared and carried through by a combination, in which case geographical and other interests would need to be care- tully coneidered. Nome of the candidates for attorney general are from the districte which have brousht forth the candidates for supreme judge, while all of the latter are In southeastern Town with the exception of Judge Zala Church of Jefferson in the Tenth district, which district is solid on but one thing and that is Jonathan P. Dol- liver for senator. The senatorial fight, how- ever, according to the leading politicians, will not enter into the convention except perhaps In an effort to keep combinations from belng formed and factions from being united on etate candidates which would be hard to pull apart in the future. On the whole the situation is very complex and much depends upon the choice for the offices which entitle to seats in the executive council. Bank Business Doubles. Bank deposits in ' the state and savings banks of Iows alone and exclusive of the national banks have doubled since McKinley was elected president in 1896. The capital stock in the meantime has Increased. In 1896 the bank deposits were something over $43,000,000. They are now or were at the bank call for the condition of business June 30 over $91,000,000. Estimating the business of the national banks it will not be far from the fact to say that bank de- posits in Iowa have quadrupled since the republican administration began. The ag- gregate capital has increased from $16,000,000 to $18,000,000. The thirty-first annual report of Auditor of State Merriam on insurance business in Towa for the year was issued today. One volume only is ready for distribution, how- ever, being complled from the reports of fire insurance companies. Tho second vol- ume, devoted to life insurance companies, will be out soon. The last legislature au- thorized the publication of the two vol- ames separately. The reports show that on January 1, 1900, there were in force in towa fire insurance policies amounting to $551,671,640, equivalent (o & larger sum than than all the property of the state sessed for. During 1 the sum of §: 512 was paid by the companies in settling losses. The premiums paid by lowa people amounted to $5,036,386, or 45.1 per cent of the sum recelved back in losses. The insurance department announces by this report that the Fidelity and Casualty company of New York declines to permit the department and Auditor Merriam to ex- amine it and its certificate to do business in lowa, which expired in 1900, has not been renewed. Since 1590 the sum of $343,561.15 has been collected from iusurance companies in fees and $1,191,060 has been paid into the state treasury by those concerns in the shapo of taxes. For 1859 $44, 5 was collectod in foes and $15i 07 in taxes. This was an increase over the collections of 1508 of $4,- 005.75 in fees and $6,386.05 in taxes. Audi- tor Merrlam touches briefly on the valued policy law, & measure which was passed by the twenty-eighth gen assembly, and which in the opinion of the insurance de- partment was very properly vetoed by the governor. Wilson Not a Candidate, A special from Traer, Ia., says: ‘‘Secre- tary of Agriculture Wilson is not and will not be a candidate for United States senator and stated to a reporter today that his name must not be mentioned in connection with the office. There was no quibbling or hesita- tion in his talk. Mr. Wilson is spending community, the guest of his son, who lives on a farm in this county. The secretary is in excellent health “'Secretary Wilson is literally flooded with letters asking him to become a candidate for United States senator. The sccretary be- longs to no faction, treats all people alike and his.appointment, it is believed, would harmonize the party. He would go iuto the senate with full vank the first day, However, Mr. Wilson authorizes the reporter to say he is not a candidate for senator and will not be; does not want it and should not be talked of in this connection, He 18 willing to continue in the cabinet four years more if McKinley wants him, after which he proposes to come here to his farm and take lifo easy.
