Maurer, administrator of the Do- hany estate, objected to the paving of Park avenue, unless the portion from Po- mona street to Fairmount was included. He sald he would use every effort to pre- vent the paving on this street past the Dohany property unless the whole street was improved. N. P. Dodge filed a peition asking that Fourth street and Willow ave- nuo be not paved this year, as he thought better bids could be obtained nmext season, and when paved asked that Galesburg brick, single course on concrete base, be used. Property owners on Bluff etreet, betwoen Willow avenue and Pierce, filed a protest against paving. They were all ordered laid on the table. The matter of the grading of Avenue H was referred to Alderman Lougee. The city engineer reported that the cost to the city of the grading would approximate $800. A resolution was adopted granting the Northwestern Railway company permission to construct a horse tramway on thesMyn- ster Springs road to carry dirt from the bluffs for the grading of its yards. The tramway, which is to be only eighteen inches wide, is to be taken up and the street placed in proper condition again by Octo- ber 1.

The liquor search warrant proceedings against Charles J. Dobbins, the opera house saloon keeper, have to all practical pur- poses come to an end. Justice Ferrler, to whose court a change of venue was taken yesterday from that of Justice Vien on the motion of County Attorney Killpack, granted a continuance of sixty days. This it 1s understood will be the end of the case, which has developed into a regular farce. The stock of liquors ls out of reach of the court, having been replevined and removed to Nebraska, and even if Justice Ferrier had ordered the liquor destroyed there was nothing in his reach to destroy. In order to keep up the farce the at- torneys for Dobbins contested the applica- tiou of the county attorney for a continu- ance and Insisted on an immediate hearing and that before a jury. It is sald that the lesuance of the writ of replevin was illegal, as the statute provides that liquor seized under a search warrant under the mulct law cannot be replevined, and all the persons connected with the procuring of the writ aro llable to proceedings for contempt of court. The hearing on the replevin action 18 set for the October term in the superior court, but It it is adverse to Dobbins he s still winoer, as the stock s out of reach of the court and his bondsmen cannot be held llable, as the case before Justice Ferrier s simply to determine the disposition of the stock. Do jeorge Washington Long, through his attorney, George H. Gable, filed a pe- titlon in the district court yesterday asking for an Injunction ugainet Harry Edwards and the South Omaha Brewing company re- straining them from selling liquor in the saloon on Broadway opposite the pestoffice. Gable is not eatisfied with the $25 attorney fee that the statute provides In such cases and In the petition alleges that $100 1s & reasonable fee for such & case. Linder & Filter, propristors of the saloon at Tenth and Broadway, upon whom motice of injunction proceedings was served by Long and Gable, have settled for $25. They offered the $51.50 first demanded by Gable, but he refused to accept this amount and cven hesitated about taking the $25, which was in the form of a check. He was ac- companied by his client at the settlerent. The saloon men are talking of organiz, for their mutual protection againet the wiles of the “crusaders.” It the organization is effccted they will stand pat and refuse to “settle” and take every case into court, and take such other steps as they may decide upon to put a stop to this continual “bleed- ing,” as they term it. and the county superintendent, the latter being chairman.

The Board of County Supervisors met in adjourned session yesterday afternoon to dispose of such business as was left over from the last meeting. The board expects to complete its work this morning, when it will adjourn to the regular meeting the first Monday in September. The supervis- ors this afternoon will attend the County Board of Education meeting called by County Superintendent McManus. A resolution was passed to the effect that in all cases of school fund loans the ab- stract must be first passed on by the county attorney before the money is pald over to the borrower. The following loans wers approved: Orin Matthews, $1,500 on eighty acres; John II. Walsh, an additional $700, making the total loan now $2,200; W. M. Taylor of Oakland, $000; Mrs. Margaret Bateman of Neola, $1,000. The application of Thomas Johnson for a loan of $1,100 was rejected. Dr. D. H. Lass, who has bought out Dr. Peters of Minden, filed an applica- tion for the appointment of county physi- clan fer the poor of that township formerly held by Dr. Peters. The application was referred to Supervisor Hansen with power to act. as Storm Lake was fast becoming a sum- mer resort. Do you know that you have onc of the prettiest towns in the state? I was just saying to Judge Lot Thomas that I think there must be something go- ing wrong with a man’s mental machinery when he {8 willing to leave such a home as he has here to go to Washington and live at some hash house. “The fire? Yes, we did have rather a close call at Fort Dodge. I have a shack out in our back yard where I do my think- ing and, luckily, happened to be at work when a bashful, barefooted boy appeared at my door and drawled out: ‘Yer barn's ‘most afire an' I didn’t know but mebbe you might want to put it out.’ I bounded to an window and saw at a glance that the situntion was a serlous one and, shouting to my wife to telephone for the fire de- partment, ran to bring the garden hose. It hadn't been used for a long time and I had to untangle a few dozen true-lover's knots and quote a lot of Latin phrases to it before it was In shape for business Then, with the combined efforts of the whole family, wn got the blaze under con- trol before the fire laddles arrived. “The political situation? Well, I hardly know what I could say that would be new on that subject. Everything seems to be coming our way. We are on top and no mistake. T wish, though, I had time to write a book upon the republican state convention at Des Molnes. It was a lively affair. Hobart “was deserted by many that be had counted on and he recelved a lot of votes from those he had not been at all certain of. “When do T leave for Washington? Not until next December.” At this juncture a call of “Where Is Jonathan Prentice?" arose from the yellow ribboned Fort Dodge delcgation and, with a rueful tug at his wilted cliar, the popular congressman turned to his ac niring followers. Orders in Divorce C Judge Smith yesterday heard the appli- cation of the defendant in the diverce suit of Dan McKenzie against Cathatine Mc- Kensle for temporary alimony, McKenzle s & wealthy and well known farmer of this county and brings suit for divorce, alleging that his wie has deserted him for their hired man. Mrs. McKenzle testified that her alleged paramour was their foster child and indignantly denled the allegations of her husband. The court ordered McKenzie on the showing to pay his wife $50 down and $50 & month and $50 attorney fees. He also issued an order restraining McKenzie from golng to the house where his wite is living or from in any manner annoying or interferiug with her. Clerk of the Dis- trict Court Reed was made trustee by the court of notes amounting to $250 which Mrs. McKenzle claims to own an interest in. A pefition for divorce of Sarah C. Lone agaipst Patrick Lone was flled In the dis- trict eourt yesterday, but shortly after with- drawn by the plaintifi’s attorneys, who stated to the clerk that it had been flled by mistake. Search for Lost Boy. BURLINGTON, Ia, Aug. 6.—(Speclal.)— A story has come to light through a dis- patch printed in a local paper from St. Louls telling of the remarkable journey of Christopher and Margaret O'Niel and their five children In two wagons in search of & missing 18-year-old son, Charles, who left home in Pittsburg over s year ago and had not been heard from since last April, covering in that time a distance of nearly 700 miles. Mrs, O'Niel said every effort had been made to find the boy and a trace of him had been received from Fort Madison, Ia. Y The above dispatch met the eye of George H. Slefken of Danville, Ia., thirteen miles east of Durlington. He at once wrote to a local paper saying that the mi:sng boy had taken supper with him on the evening ot Friday, August 3. The boy gave his name as Charles and his home as Pitts- burg. He sald he had run away over a year before and was sorry for it. He was homesick and wanted to go home, but had no money to pay his fare. He had written to his father several times, but had re- celved no reply. He left that night for Ottumwa to get work to earn money to enable him to return home. An effort will be made to get the news of the where- abouts of the wanderer to the parents in St. Louls. Mablon Brown Arrested. Mahlon Brown, formerly assistant city en- gineer, was arrested at a late hour Sundas night on the charge of impersonating an officer, the complaint being filed by H. Mil- ler, an employe of the Monarch Manufac- turing company. Miller on leaving & saloon on South Maln ‘street was placed under ar- rest by a man who claimed to be an oficer and sald he would be obliged to take Miller to the police station for being drunk. They had gome about a block, when the alleged officer sald he would let Miller o upon pay- ment of a dollar. Miller refused, broke away and ran to a nearby telephone, where he reported the matter to the police. Brown was shortly after arrested by Oficer Walkington. He denied the charge and insisted it was a case of mistaken Identity.

Democratic cans didates for congress have been nominated in the First, Sixth and Eighth. In the Sec- ond, where the fight will be hardest, nom- inations have not yet been made by either party. The republican congressional con- vention will be held at Davenport on Au- gust 16 and it is confidently stated by prom- inent politiclans of the district that W. L. will accept. Several other candidates have been men- tioned, including Prof. McBride of the State university. For the democratic nomination there are a number of names mentioned and man willing to eerve, as in nominations for state offices. Confidence in the result in the district has brought out a large number of men, any one of whom poselble hope of success. In the First and Sjxth districts D, J. O'Connell of Burling- ton and W. A. Steck of Ottumwa have been nominated, respectively, in opposition to Congressmen Hedge and Lacey. The fight in Iowa is going to be carried on particu- larly in these districts, which the democrats are hoping to win. The state executive council fixed the state tax levy at 2.6 mills, which m. «cs a total general and special state levy of 2.8 mills, 2-10 of a mill baving been authorized by the leglslature for the educational institutions. The general levy of last year was 2.9 mills, and there was one-tenth of a mill speclal levy authorized by the legislature for the State university. The last legislature au- thorized an additional tenth of a mill for the Agricultural college. The reduction in the levy so far as Governor Shaw's admin- istration is concerned is three-tenths of a mill, or more than 10 per cent. An esti- mate was made today of the valuation which will finally be given to the telephone, tele- graph and express company properties in the state. The exprese companies were given a valuation of $185,124 and the telephone and telegraph of $1,134,213. The total valuation of all property in the state, including these estimates, is $330,673,264. The Increaso, therefore, is $10,042,369. Auctioneer's Commission. The Towa auctioncers want a commission. They want Governor Shaw to appoint a commission of three veteran auctloneers to supervise the admittance of other men to the profession. The state assoctation opened its convention here today and the appolut- ment of committees to prepare resolutious urging the governor to establish such a commission was the principal business of the first day's session. Some twenty auc- tioneers from all parts of the state were present. One member sald: “The object of the commission, as we plan it, is to prevent the profession being overrun with incompe- tent and irresponsible persons.” night, two official bonds were approved, which represent about the sum of $80,000. They were those of Frank Koutsky as treas- urer of this school district and that of the Packers' National bank for moueys placed with it on deposit. The finance committee raised a protest against bills belng presented for approval without first having been passed on by the party recelving the material or the services rendered and for this reason a lot of bills that would have otherwise undoubtedly been approved were laid on the table until the next meeting. The bill of School Architect Davis for $200 for drafting plans for the school bullding that has been enjoined was not allowed, although several of the mem- bers were in favor of doing so. It was not kilicd, however, but will come up again at their next meeting. E. H. Andrews was allowed $300 on a $478 bill. The whole bill was not allowed for the reason that the board insists that much of the furniture for which the bill 1s rendered is not as represented to the board and {s damaged.
