Casady, Jr., ¢ 16 Main St. Councl Riuffs, On City MONEY TO LOAN., Savings Loan and Building Associat’n Councll Blufts, lowa. at 709 South | INHERITANCE TAX DECISION Judge Smith Passes on the Real Estate Phase of the Law. LAWSON ESTATE ESCAPES THE IMPOST Amendntory Act Not Retronctive and Comscquently Cannot Affect Title that Passed Before Its Enactment. Judge Smith of the district court handed | down his ruling yesterday in the matter ot the estato of the late John Lawson, holding that it was not Mable for the payment of collateral inheritance tax on the real estate and dismissing the application of State Treasurer Herriott for an order to compel L. F. Potter, the administrator, to pay some of the moneys in his possession be- { tonging to the estate. Tho case involved a question of general Interest in connection with the lowa col- lateral inheritance tax law, which has never been passed upon by the supreme court, and it 1s understood it will now be taken on behalf of the state to that tribupal for final adjudication. John Lawson was an unmarried resident of this county near the town of Oakland, where he owned 280 acres of tarm land. He also owned 3 res of land In Texas. He committed suicide by shooting himself Sep- tember 7, 1596, in Omaha. At the time of his death he owned in addition to his farms conslderable personal property. There being no heirs living here Representative L. F. Potter of Oakland was appointed by the district court administrator and took charge of the personal property and real estate. Aftar considerable trouble the administrator discovered three sisters of Lawsou, two of whom were living in Minuesota and one in Sweden Application was made by State Treasurer Herriott for an order for the payment of collateral inheritance tax to the state and the appraigers under the collateral inher itance law placed the value of the real es- tate at $11,900 and the personal property at $768.91. The claim for inberitance tax amounted to $633.44. Payment of the tax was resisted by the heirs on the ground that the collateral in~ beritance tax law, as originally passed, had been declared unconstitutional; that Law- son died after the passage of the original law, but before the passage of the amend- atory act designed to correct its defects, and that therefore the estate was not liable for the payment of the tax. The supreme court In another case had held that the amendatory act was retro- active as to personal property, but spe- cifically declared that the ruling did not affect real estate, and the question has re- mained unsettled whether the amendatory act made the law effective as to real estate belonging to persons who died after the passage of the original law and before the passage of the amendment. The ownership of personal property belonging to the es- tate of a deceased person dees not pass to the heirs until such property is distributed by the administrator or executor. The title to real estate, however, it is held, upon the death of the owner vests at once in the heirs and the question at issue in this case was whether the amendatory act of the legislat- ure could disturb these vested rights. Judge Smith, by his ruling, holds that it could not and that o far as the real estate for- merly belonging to John Lawson is con- corned it {s not liable for the payment of collateral inheritance tax. Commonwealth 10-cent eigar, HIGH SCHOOL SITE UP AGAIN, Prospects of an Appeal from the Lat- est Location Are Good, The thirty days in which an appeal can be taken from the action of the Board of Education in selecting the Street site as a site for the new High school building will expire next Monday. An appeal, how- ever, will bo taken before the expira- tion of the time limit and a well known attorney stated yesterday that the papers would be filed with the county superintend. ent some day this week without fail. The attorney said that he had been instructed to draft the papers by one of his clients and if he had not he would have appealed himself rather than allow the school to be built there without a protest. In speaking of the matter yesterday a member of the board sald he had hoped there would be no further litigation over the High school site, as If there was it would mean that the school would not be built this year, He sald he believed that it an appeal was taken from the selection of the Street tract that the majority of the members of the board would vote again to place the school on’ the Glen avenus preperty. It this was done he realized this would certalnly invite another appeal and that would end all chances of building the school this year. The school board will hold its regular monthly session this evening but it fis not probable that any action will be taken on the site question. Howell's Anti “Kawf" cures coughs, colds. Want Kissell for Assault. A warrant was issued last Sunday night for the arrest of George Kissell on the charge of assaulting J. C. Hickman with intent to kill. Mrs. Kissell went to the home of her mother, Mrs. Hickman, Sun- day afternoon and complained that her husband was drinking and gambling amd not providing for their home in a suitable manner. Hickman carried a note from Mrs. Kissell to her husband, in which she warned him not to remove any of the furni- ture, s she feared that he might try to dispose of It to secure money to buy drink with, This enraged Kissell and he charged Hickman with fomenting his do- mestic troubles. He struck Hickman with board, knocking him down and seriously injuring him. Kissell, after knocking Hickman down, escaped and so far has eluded the officers. He is belleved to be in hiding in Fairmount park, Davis sells paint. Horses Stolen. When Robert Budatz, living at 1050 East Broadway, went to his barn early yester- day morning to hitch up he discovered that his bay horse, Concord buggy and a new set of harness had been stolen during the uight, W.

The arrest by the police last night of Mrs. Emma LaRue, alias Mrs. Anderson, and a man named A. Heisman at the home of the former at Twelfth street and Six- teenth avenue revealed a terrible case of depravity. Mrs. Anderson and her para- mour have been, according to the stories of the peighbors, been holding a drunken orgy for the last two weeks, while the two little daughters of the woman, aged 7 and 3 years respectively, have been per- mitted to go unfed and uncared for, hours to a nelghboring saloon to secure drink for her mother and Helsman. When the officers arrested the couple last night the children were found with barely , sufficlent clothing to cover them and the elder child said she had had nothing to eat all day. They were taken by the police to the home of an aunt, Mrs. Thomas Brown, living at 1601 South Ninth street, who has agreed with the assist- ance of an elder sister of the children who works in Omaha, to provide for them. An effort will be made today by the police to have the children legally taken away trom their unnatural mother. About two years ago a crippled daughter of Mrs. An- derson, aged 13 years, committed sulcide by drinking poison because she could mot stand the {1l treatment she was sub- jected to.

It is his com- mission on these 138 orders that he now sues for. Mike L. Kadel alleges that George Ka sing has been circulating defamatory stories about himself and his reputation has been injured to the extent of $1,000, to recover which he brought suit yester- day in the district court. Both parties live in Neola. The trial of the suit of D. J. Fogerty against G. L. Newland and wife to recover $1,900 on an alleged contract for the pur- chase of fruft trees was commenced before a jury in the superior court yesterday.

FLOYD MONUMENT STARTED erstone s Laid at Sioux City with Very Impressive Ceremonies. .u 4 El SIOUX CITY, la, Aug. 20.—(Special Tele- gram.)—With very impressive ceremonies the cornerstone of the Floyd memerial mon~ ument was laid this afternoon. In a few months mare the tribute of the pation and state to explorer Charles Floyd, who helped Lowis and Clark to explore the great north- west, will stand completed, rising 100 feet from @ bluff that overlooks the great river he helped to explore. Nearly 1,000 people gathored to witness the ceremonies and to hear the addresses of ex-Congressman George D. Perkins and State Senator E. H Hubbard; among them a number of distin- guished men of this section of the west. The monument marks the site of the old grave of the explorer, who gave up his life nearly a century ago while trying to blaze away through the unknown west for & later clvilization. It will be an obelisk in shape and will rise to a helght of 100 feet. Land has been purchased around the monument site for a park and the city expects some time in the titure to develop and improve the grounds. Church Celebrates Anniversary. JEFFERSON, Ia., Aug. 20.—(Special.)— The twenty-fifth annlversary of the found- ing of the Methodist church at Grand Jupction was observed in the latter town yesterday. The principal feature of the aoniversary was the sermon delivered by the Rev. Joseph Manning, now of this| city, who organized the “class” at Grand Junction thirty years ago. Rev. Manning is about 80 years old, having been in the ministry nearly sixty years, He is the father of Former Lieutenant Goveruor Or- lando H. Manning of Iowa, author of the famous epigram, A school house on every hill and no saloon In the valley." The church is somewhat noted for the extraordinay nmumber of preachers who have ministered to the churge during the twenty-five years of Its existence, there being no less than nineteen, many of whom were present and participated in the cer- emonies yesterda. A C e Cal Mr. Henry Phipps had an attack of colie that he suys would certainly have provex fatal before a physiclan could have reached bim.

The fact has been unearthed that the industrial department of the Hospital for the Insane at Mt. Pleasant has been selling large quantities of the state’s supplies to various parties for a small part of their value. These good are purchased by the State Board of Control in large lots and at wholesale or less than wholesale prices. but the thieves who have been looting the state and indirectly depriving the unfor- tunate inmates of its institutions of many of the comforts provided by the generosity | of the state have been selling the goods at almost half of their selling value and dividing the spoils among themselyes, Holdness of the Thefts, It is sald that some of the goods have been unblushingly shipped away from the Mt. Pleasant depot, but most of them have been hauled in wagons to other stations and shipped to the consignees under ficticious names. Numerous shipments have been made to one firm at Burlington and by them resold in larger or smaller lots, but always at less than their value. It is even be- leved that the fire which on July 15, 1900, destroyed the building of the industrial department was the desperate and delib- erate work of the gang of plunderers, whose crimes are soon to he laid bare, and it is hoped adequately punished. It is thought that they having been selling the state’s supplies for months or years fired the shop in order to conceal a portion of the evidence of their crimes. The snap was given away by a Des Molnes boy who was confined in the asylum for a time and he and Eli Hardin, a well known Des Moines detective, have woried up the which was turned over to the state officers today. The climax of exposure was reached when John M. Stome, super- intendent of the industrial department of tho Mt. Pleasant hospital, arranged to de- liver a quantity of goods to the purchaser in Des Moines, the purchaser being none otber tham Hardin, the detective. Had Confidence in Stone. Stone has long enjoyed the confidence of the state. He was formerly conmected with the Clarinda asylum and went with Super- intendent Hoyt from there to Mt Pleasant. It was a great surprise to the state author- ities to learn that Stone was directly or indirectly connected with the sale of state goods and he will be given every opportu- nlty to prove that his part of the work was done jonocently and at the behests of others. It must be confessed, how- ever, that letters written by Stone and now in the hands of the authorities make an ugly showing, indicating not only that he kmew what he was doing, but took measures to place his actions behind the shield of secrecy. Part of his letters re- veal remarkable boldness in dlsposing of the goods and show the audacity of a Napoleon in execution It is stated that the Board of Control will probably prosecute all the offenders It is belleved that thousands of dollars worth of supples have been sold. Chairman Huffman of the democratic state central committee says the demo- cratic committee, the candidates for the state and congressional offices and the chairman of the various county wommit- tees of the state will meet in Des Maines August 29 for the purpose of canvassing the entire situation and laylng plans for the hottest campaign ever waged by democ= racy in the state.

SIOUX CITY, la, Aug. 20.—(Special.) “As I begin to foot up the hail losses of the past summer,” stated J. H. Ayers, a prominent representative of a hail insurance company, “I am greatly surprised at the total damage that was inflicted upon the crops in Woodbury, Plymouth and Monona counties. The total loss in theso counties will foot up not less than $100,000. The storms in which losses occurred were never 80 numerous as in the present season. In one section of Woodbury and Plymouth counties not less than four storms swept over it since June 20, and nearly all its crops have been partially or totally stroyed. This refers principally to small grain; corn generally escaped without very great damage. South Omaha News . B It R T o For the thifd time this summer the Board of Education went through the formality of purchasing the Hoctor site at Twenty third and K streets for a public school building The matter came up at a meeting of the board held last night. All members were present with the exception of Roberts, who 1s out of the city. Upon request Attorney Breen reported on the deciston of Judge Keysor, which was given Wednesday last According to the court the board has a right to purchase sitcs for school bufldings providing there is money on hand to pay for the same. When the decision had been &lven Member Ryan offered a resolution to the offect that the sum of $5,500 be set aside for the specific purpose of purchas- ing a school house site. As there is some- thing like $14,000 in the hands of tho treas- urer of the district at this time there was no objection to the appropriation from any one except Mr. Brennan. As soon as the appropriations had been made Ryan bobbed up with anothor reso- lution authorizing the president and secre- tary to enter into a contract and sign war- rants for the purchase of the Hoctor prop- erty. This resolution passed by a vote of 7 to 1, Brennan voting against it. It {s thought now that this settles the matter ,although Secretary Brennan may still refuse to sign a warrant for the pur- chase price. 1n case he refuses it is under- stood that the courts will be appealed to in an effort to compel him to attach his Signature to the warrant. The board authorized the drawing of a warrant for §51 for the payment of the premium on T surer Koutsky's surety bond The bond and contract with George L. Dare for the heating apparatus at Lowell school was approved. This work will cost $2,166, Superintendent Wolfe called the atten- tion of the board to the need of new text books, and he stated that he was anxious to have the orders go in now o that tho books might reach here in two weeks. This matter will be taken up at the meeting to be held next Monday night. D. J. Farrell was awarded the contract for building outhouses at a cost of $605. New floors will be lald in two of the halls at the High school bullding. Bids for fitting up a basement room at the Lincoln gchool will be advertised for at once, No Bids fo= Repairing Pavement. Not a single bid for the repairing of Twenty-fourth street was recelved by City Clerk Shrigley yesterday and so he will have to report to the city council that the advertisement for bids for this work proved futile. It is the desire of Mayor Kelly and the city council to have the street repaired before the Ak-Sar-Ben fes- tivities and it was the intention to call @ special meeting of the council to open the bids. Since no bids have been received there will be no necessity for a speclal meeting. It is understood that the paving contractors will not submit bids for the reason that no appropriation was made to pay for the work. Prior to the intro- duction of the levy and appropriation or- dinances some members of the council favored setting aside a certain sum for the repairs to Twenty-fourth street, but acting on the advice of City Attorney Montgomery this item was omitted from the appropriation sheet and in consequence no bids have been received Paving con- tractors do not appear to like the methods in vogue here in regard to such matters and will positively refuse to bid unless the money to pay for the work is set aside. The city attorney asserted that money could be taken from either the gen- eral or special license funds for the r pairs, but this is not to the lMking of the contractors and the result will be that no bids will be sent in until an appropriation is made, Inquest Over George Young.
