EXPENSE TO FALL ON THE APPLICANTS Esamination to Ne Carried on With- oat Cont to the Estate of the In- tution or Inconvenience to Recelvers, Judge Green of the district court made an order yesterday in the Officer & Pusey re- celvership matter grantiag the application of J. J. Stewart, J. J. Hess and other do- positors for the appointment of an expert to make a thorough examination of the book accounts, papers and assets of the banking firm in the possession of the recelvers. The order permits the applicants to se lect the expert accountant themselves, but the examination must be at the expense of the applicants and shall not be charged to the estate of the bank. The order pro- vides that the examination must take place where the books and accounts are now kept and the receivers are ordered to give the expert any Information in their possession when asked and to afford him free access to the books, ete. This is to be done by the reccivers without expense to the appli- cants. In making the application the depositors asked that the expense of the examination be paid from the funds of the bank now | in the hands of the receivers, Receivers | Bershelm and Murphy opposed this, but ralsed no objection to the examination being made provided the expense was borne by the applicants. When notifled of the order J. J. Stewart stated that the matter would have to bu laid before the depositors who jolned in the application to determine whether they would bear the expenso of an examination of the books or not. A meeting to declde this will be called by the depositors at once, Morris Hough who, as administrator of soveral estates, is a_ heavy creditor of the | Officer & Pusey bank, has filed a petition | of intervention asking thet his cla‘ms be | declared preferred clai; The court fssued an order making Frank S.

Howell's Anti-Kawt PROCEEDING OF THE CITY couNc Much Routine Work Atten the Aldermen Last Night. At the regular monthly sesslon of the city council last night two ordinances which were voted down at the last meeting were brought up again and one of them, the ordinance creating the office of city electriclan, passed to its second reading and was then referred to committee of the whole. The other, Alderman Lougee's or- dinance fixing the price of electric light- ing, was, on his motion, taken off the table and referred to the committee on fire and lights. In moving to take the electric light or- dinance off the table, where it had been consigned by an almost unanimous vote at ' the last meeting, Alderman Lougee stated | that he had consulted with Manager | Nichols of the Gas and Electric Light com- | pany and that the latter had expressed his willingness to confer with the fire and light committee with a view to reaching | an amicable agreement over the rate to be charged for the city lighting. This being | the case, he suggested that the ordinance | be again referred to that committee, which was done. | The ordinance creating the office of city | electriclan’ was voted down at the last | meeting, but this did not deter Alderman | McDonald from introducing it agaln and he succeeded In passing it to its second read- ing without any opposition on the under- standing that it go to the committee of the wholo later. Mayor Jennings was skeptical as to whether a city electrielan could be paid out of a fund appropriated for the pur- pose of paylng a superintendent of fire alarm. The city solicitor gave it as his opinfon that the ordinance changed the name of the officer and gave him greater scope and that no question could arise as to the payment of his salary out of the fund already appropriaied. City Engineer Etnyre reported that the paving of Washington avenue under the contract with Wickham had been completed and that the cost was $12,036.08 for cash or $12,637.83 for certificates. To this has to be added $113 for incidental expenses, such as advertising, surveying, ete. The coun- cil decided to meet this afterncon and fn- spect the work In order to make the assess- ment. & The matter of assessing the cost of the Grabam avenue sewer and the curbing laid under the contract with Nelson & Olson was lald over until next meeting, so that | in the meantime the city sollcitor may pre- pare an ordinance vacating certain alleys which will cut a figure in the assessment of both pleces of work. The report of the city engineer showed the cost of the curbing to be $1,439.78 for cash or $1,517.15 for certiitcate The city solicltor was instructed to pre- pare a new form of special assessment cer- tificates to conform with the present law and the committee on printing was di- rected to get them printed. The committee on streets and alleys was authorized to purchase a new street grad- ing machine at & cost of $200, the same to be pald for next May out of the appropria- tions for 1901, The purchase of this ma- chine brought up the question of cleaning the streets and on motion of Alderman - — Our Armored Cruiser Shoe For Boys’ Wear Filled with CHILLED ST!

L CIR tom and the service | toes and was Boyer the streets and alleys committes was directed to give Broadway, Pearl and Main streets a thorough cleaning before enow flies. At the suggestion of Chairman Boyer of the committee on police and health it was decided to pave the approach to the patrol house with the same material as is being ueed on Bryant street. The ordinance raising the grade on Fifth avenue and Third street in the vicinity of the new High school bullding, as requested by the Board of Education, was passed. Henry Lock notified the council that on October 28 last he had been injurcd by sterping into a hole caused by a washout under the sidewalk on Broadway, near Sixteenth street, and that he would expect the city to pay him damages. N. Rasmussen, who appeared as a wit- ness for the city when the charges against former Street Supervisor Harden were belng tricd, presented a bill for witness allowed $1.80. He is the only witness who has applied to be pald wit- ness fees in the case, Aldermen ee and Hammer wero ap- peinted a spectal committee to confer with the leading Catholic citizens with a view to securing, It possible, the establishment of the Roman Catholic see in this city in the event of a second diocese In this state being decided on. At the close of the council meeting the aldermen went Into executive session as a committee of the whole to consider the city electrician ordinance. P ce Court Notes, Harry Howard, alias Gllmore, allas Guy Fritz, and Charles Brown will have a hearing this morning before Justice Vien on the charge of breaking into Mike Kempkis' saloon on South Maln street and stealing o gold watch and other articles. The hearing was set for the superior court, but the defendants took a change of venue to Justice Vien's court. The case against Howard and Brown for breaking into Pin- nell's saloon will be tried later. The two men were removed from the city to the nty jail yesterday, The case against George Kitchen, charged with impersonating & deputy sheriff, was dismissed in Justice Vien's court for lack «f sufticient evidence to warrant binding him over to the grand jury. The only evi- dence against Kitchen was that of J. 8. Fursch, the prosecuting witness. The case of Tom Carter, charged with embezzling the proceeds of street sales of a Chicago and a St. Louls newspaper, was taken on change of venue vesterday from the superior court to that of Justice Vien, where Carter is booked for a hearing this morning. A fresh information, charging Bob Scott with the embezzlement of $19 in the same connection, was filed by John D. Clark yesterday and will be heard later. Scott is being held at the city jail pending the hearing of the case fn which he ls charged with stealing an overcoat belonging to Arthur Reed, a liveryman. Bob Stevenson, who was arrested Saturday night for creating a disturbance at a dance, has more trouble on his hands in connec- tion with the same fracas. Yesterday Miss Mary Boggs, who was a guest at the dance, flled an information in Justice Vien's court charging Stevenson with as- saulting her with intent to do her great bodily harm. Miss Boggs displayed a closed and blackened eye and a swollen mouth, caused, she sald, by the beating Stevenson gave her. Delinquent Tax Sale, Some thirty bidders were on hand vester- day morning when County Treasurer Arnd started the annual tax sale of delinquent property and the bidding proceeded at a brisk rate until every piece offered had been snapped up by the eager buyers. Owing to the small list of property of- fered for sale this year there was some hard bidding and the competition between the several buyers was of the keenest kind. Trere was a lively demand for the better class of lots and in one case, the property being a hotel on South Main street, it was knocked down to a bidder who of- fered to pay the taxes for 1-3,500 part of tho property. In soveral instances bids were made on the 1-1,000 and the 1-100 parts of lots. The sale was completed by 4 o'clock in the afternoon, when, according to the law, Treasurer ‘Arnd adjourned the sale until Juruary 14 mext. At this time any lots that may have been .omitted or. any that may come back on the treasurer's hamds will be offered for sale. District Court Notens. Mike Smith, Indicted on the charge of stenling two valuable rings, the property of Mrs. Landergren, entered a plea of guilty yesterday morning and Judge Green sentenced him to fifteen months in the penitentiary at Fort Madison. He was taken there last evening by Deputy Sherift Canning. The trial of the suit of the State Land and Improvement company against the City of Council Bluffs to recover damages al- leged to have been caused to a dwelling by the overflow of Indlan creek a year ago was commenced fn the dlstrict court yos- terday. This Is one of the suits that At- torney Hewitt offered to settle out of court at a meeting of the clty council last week The sult of Iva Sult against J. Jefferics and that of the Chicago & Northwestern Railway company against Charles Racer were dismissed yesterday and costs pald. Both sults were gettled out of court. Census of Church Members, Al the meeting of the Ministerial clation yesterday the advisability of tak- 1ng a census of the church members In the city was discussed, but no action taken. During the discussion it was stated that a large number of children who should be connected with some Sunday school are without religious instruction of any kind, owing to the negligence of thelr parents. The church census was proposed with a view to remedying this defect The assoclation also discussed the ad- visabllity of holding at regular Intervals o union Sunday school teachers' meeting, at which the Sabbath school teachers of the city might compare notes and secure mutual benefit by one another's exper- fences. The ministers present expressed themselves strongly in favor of such meet- irgs, but further action was postponed un- til the next session. There will be a new rendering of the “0ld Malds' Conventfon" at the English Lutheran church Thursday night.

COUNTY OFFICIALS RESIGN THERR PLACES Easy Way of Settling Tangle That Might Have Developed from the Fault in the Titus Amendment, DES MOINES, Dec. 3.—(Speclal)— There 1s disappointment over the poor showing made by lowa in the matter of the increase of the total vote of the state as compared with four years ago. Taking tho first named of the electors-at-large as having secured the largest vote the in- crease In four years fs only 8,808, whick s certainly not in proportion to the increase in population of the state during that pe- riod. It Is explained by the fact that lowa was 80 strongly republican that mamy per- sons did not deem it worth while to vote and the campalgn in this state lacked the enthusiasm it had n some other states. It is also true that the lowa vote of four years ago was more nearly equal to the full voting strength of the state than in any other year. The number of defective bal- lots or incomplete ballots this year was less in Towa than usual. Four years ago the vote for presidential electors was 4,005 greater than the vote for secretary state. This year the difference is only 2,040. The number who vote only a part of the ticket, elther Intentionally or through error, is therefore decreasing. The republican majority seems to be increas- ing more rapidly on the national ticket than on the state ticket. The republican majority showed a gain of 27,341 in four years and the gain in majority on the head of the state ticket in the same time was only 23,245. The vote on congressmen ran pretty close to the vote for presidentisl electors, the aggregato majority for con- gressmen being 85,051, or 210 less than the majority for McKinley. Resignations of Officials. One might suppose from the number of resignations that are belng offered in Iowa at this time that office-holding had suddenly become burdensome, but the resignation epidemic only indicates that a great majority of the men in official po- sitions are honest with their constituents and desire that the will of the people shall be observed faithfully. As no solution of the blennfal election muddie has yet been suggested and no move has been taken or is likely to be taken to test the effect of the amendment before the time for the annual officlal housecleaning, those state and county officials who do not want to be under suspicion of officlal greed are tender- ing their resignations. The state officers set the pace and made it clear that al- though the amendment 1s of doubtful mean- ing and literally construed would extend the terms of office of the present incumbents one year, they are going to step out and glve their duly elected successors a chance. In Johnson county and several other coun- tles, certain of the county officers have virtually announced that they will remain in office until the courts decide that they must step out. They will wait for the newly elected persom$ to act. In Tama county the county' attorney, Walters, has placed his resignation in the hands of the proper officlals. From Farmington comes Information that Supervisor Wood has sent in his resignation and asks that the ap- pointment of his successor be made the first Monday in January. The county ofi- clals affected are the auditors, recorders, clerks of courts, county attorneys and mem- bers of the boards of supervisors. This means between 500 and 600 county officals in Towa. of Osteopaths in Convention, The Iowa branch of tho American Asso- clation of Osteopaths will hold a state meeting in Des Molnes December 28-20. The osteopaths are becoming numerous in Towa and it is stated there are now nearly 250 of them In practice In the state. They have a large collego here and it Is ex- pected that their numbers will be nearly doubled in the next year. U. M. Hibbetts of Grinnell is the president and E. H. Beavan of Cedar Raplds secretary. On the program, as arranged for the Des Molnes meeting this month, are S, 8. Still, Des Moines; W. E. West, Centerville; Char- lotte Denman, Council Bluffs; J, W. Hop- sess, Des Molnes; L. O. Thompson, Red Oak; C, M. Proctor, Ames; O. E. McFadden, Davenport; J. R. Bullard, Marshalltown; F. G. Cluett, Sloux City, and L. F.\ Hoyt, Jefferson. The members will be welcomed by the mayor and ex-Chlet Justice Cole will address the meeting on medical Juris- prudence. Cedar Rapids is an applicant for the meeting next year amd will likely get it. ™M Nixon's Movementns, In regard to Mr E. J. Nixon, whose bedy was found in the Iowa river in Mar- shalltown county in July last, it has been learned that she did go from Manchester to Atlantic, or nearly to Atlantic, at the time of her disappearance, for she got oft the tralm at Anita and, not being able to glve an account of herself, was placed In charge of the town marshal. He finally sent her to Adalr. It seems probable that as she was unable to tell where sho wished to go from there she bought a ticket to the eastern part of the stato and then went to Marshalltown, where she wandered to the river and was accldentally drowned. As she was in good health, though feeble, when she left Manchester, the case is very strange. Thomas Alsop, living on & farm near the Mississippl river a few miles below Du- buque, bored into a crevice and struck a rich vein of lead ore. The vein is flooded with water, but he expects to drain it off and open one of the best lead mines in the country, News was recelved in the city that a farmer 1iving near Medford, south of here in Warren county, was found dead in his yard on Sunday. He had been slugged and robbed and In the fight with the robbers was killed. Chrisilan Travelers. The organization amcng travellng men known as the Gideons has just held its first annual convention and perfected a permanent organization at Marshalltown. Nineteen traveling men attended the first meeting, with a somewhat larger attend- ance curing the convention. The following officers were elected: President, W. H. Darner, Marshalltown; secretary, N. W, Lundy, Marshalltown; executive committee, J. E. Marshall Webster City; Charles E. Rau, Mason City; C. K. Pride, Araes. Among the members In attendance were the fol- lowing: K. W. Brown, Ames; F. Willls Jenks, Waterloo; N, G. Wright, Nevada; W. A. Hick, Mason Cit A. W. Lawns- bury, Cedar Raplds; athan Ford, Des Moines: A. B. F. Moore, Cedar Raplds; L. W. McKown, Davenport; Scott Rutledge, Early; H. Westling, Marshalitown. The organization s a new one and unique among traveling men, the purpose belng o inculcate religious principles among the men who are on the road. Members of the order filled the various pulpits of Mar- shalltown churches on Sunday. The mem- bership 1s reported to be inc reasing. Recently & dispatch from Des Molnes appeared in The Bee giving an account of the receipt of offers by the Bomrd of Su- pervisors of Polk county for the use of $300,000 of the county's funds. In the list of firms bidding the name of the First Na tional bank of Council Bluffs appeared as offering 3% per cent for the money. It transpires that the bank made no offer whatever for the money. J. W. Cassiday & Co., real estate and loan brokers, bid for the money and their bid was rejected because mot from a bank INDIANS HAVE SOME RIGHTS e Shiras of the United States Court Hands Down Two Important Opinions at Cedar Rapids, CEDAR RAPIDS, Ia, Dec. 3.—Judge Shiras of the federal court has handed down two decisions in Indian cases of wide- spread interest. In the case of James Pe- ters, a member of the Sac and Fox tribe, against Indian Agent Malin, in which the plaintiff sued for heavy damages for false arrest, the defendant filed & demurrer claiming that the cause was not one arfs- ing under the constitution or laws of the United States. Judge Shiras overruled the demurrer and holds that the plaintiff can maintain the action In the case of Ta Tah Wah against For- mer Indlan Agent Rebok a demurrer to the substitution of the mext of kin, owing to the plaintift's death, was overruled and leave granted to substitute as plaintiff the persons who, under the customs of the Indian tribe, become the successors in the property of the original plaintiff.
