PAYS TO SEE THE PADLOCK Nebraska Farmer is Buncoed Out of His Money by Three Sharpers. C. H. Fowler, a farmer from Arcadla, Neb., realized last evening that there was considerable truth in the axiom that ex- perience teaches. It cost him just $28 to see the glass works and become acquainted with the mysteries of the padlock bunco game. Fowler was waiting at Ninth and Douglas streets for a Council Bluffs motor when a stranger entered into conversation with him. The stranger was also watthug for a car and suggested that while walting | they take a walk across the bridge and look at the glass works. It would be on their way, he explained. Fowler had read about glass works, but had never seen ome. He was willing. Near the east end of the bridge the stranger picked up a padlock and then Fowler began to get some experience. They were joined by a second stranger and Fow- ler was accumulating experlence. Then came the climax. A third stranger appeared on the scene. He was a policeman and wore a star. He placed all three under | arrest. Fowler did mot like the idea of being arrested, so was perfectly willing to | Blve the policeman all the money he had, 328, to secure the release of himself and his two newly made friends, who appeared to be equally frightened. As soon as the money was in the hands of the policeman Fowler's two companions had business elsewhere, as had the man With the star, and Fowler was left alone to admire the scenery at the east end of the bridge and with an empty pocketbook. It finally dawned on him that perhaps he had been buncoed, 8o to make certain he walked into Council Blufts and told his story to the police. He later returned to Omaha on a car ticket provided him by Captain Maltby. Gravel roofing, A. H. Read, 641 Broadway. Keep clean.

The city zuthorities have decided to rig- 1dly enforce the ordinance relative to build- Ing permits and all perscns will be re- .q\‘lr!d to secure a permit before elther erecting any bullding or making repairs. Contractors and others bave to a great ex- tent Ignored the ordinance and comparison between the number of bufldings now in course of construction throughout the city and the records of tha city clerk show a large discrepancy. Fire Chief Templeton and Chiet of Police Tibbits have been instructed to at once check up the number of bulldings now in course of construction or which have been erected since the beginnicg of this year and report back to the ¢!ty authorities in order that it may be ascertained whish per- mits have been {ssued for. The fee for a bullding permit no matter what the cost of the bullding may be, is merely a nominal one, B¢ cents, and the permits are more for the purpose of enab- ling the city to have a record of what bullding is belng done, especially within the fire limits, than for tue revenue which might be derived. The ordinance provides that fallure to take out a hullding permit shall subject the person bullding to a fine not exceeding $100, City officiels who have given the matter some attention lately assert that from $50,- 000 to $100,000 worth of bullding is mow golng on in the city for which no permits have ever been issued. Among the num- ber are several fine residences costing from $5,000 upward. Puck’'s Domestic soap is best for laundry. Davis sells glase, Matters Before the Courts.

Judge Scott made an assignment of cases and ordered that trial notices might be filed up to and Including June 20. The suit of Charles R. Hannan against the motor cowmpany to compel it to provide himself and the members of his family with life passes was assigned for tomorrow. Colonel Hannan claims that the passes were to form part of the consideration for the transfer of the Manawa Iine to the Suburban company. The suit of W. T. Town, in which he seeks to recover $1,000 from the city for the death of his horse “Black Blondin,” which was killed by running into a house being moved on the public street at night, has been assigned for June 25. The personal injury damago suit of A. Norman againet the motor company ls assigned for the same date. Norman seeks to recover $3,000 for injuries alleged to have been received by the motorman closing the gates on the rear platform while he was on the steps, the gates striking him in the face Judge Scott yesterday granted M Dell G. Morgan a permit to sell Intoxicat- ing liquors at his drugstore on Broadway. TEACHERS MUST PAY DEBTS Board of Education Incorporates that Clause in Contract of All Employes. All employes of the school district, and this applies equally to teachers and jani- tors, will be required to pay their debts requirement will be incorporated In the to sign this year. This was decided upon at the meeting of the Board of Education Jaet night, the matter being brought up by Membér Macrae, who stated that com- plaint had been made to him that a num- ber of the teachers and the janitors re- fused to pay their just debts after secur- ing credit on the strength of their employ- ment in the schools. Member Hess protested agalnst the in- sertion of any such clause in the contracts on the grounds that in hie opinion it was casting a slur on the teachers. While there might be, he sald, a few teachers who were not prompt in paying their bills, he belleved it was rather the exceptio nthan the rule. Macrae's motion carried despite Hess' pro- test. Member Macrae also brought up again the question of dispensing with a supervisor of kidergartens. He suggested that the principals in each bullding be required to acquaint themselves with that class of work 80 to be able to give personal super- vision to the kindergartens in their respec- tive buildings. He spoke at length'on the subject and suggested that during the com- ing school year the principals be made acquainted with the kindergarten work by the supervisor, so that a year from now the services of a general stpervisor for the kindergarten can be diepensed with. The board discussed the question for fully an hour, but took mo action. Superintendent Clifford reported that a balance of $46.45 remained over from the proceeds of sale of tickets for the commencement exerclses after all expenses had been liquidated, and permission was given to place the money to the credit of the High school llbrary fund. This is the first year that the board has not been called upon to appropriate money to clean up the bills of the com- mencement exercises. Member Hess was granted the use of the auditorfum of the High school for a lec- ture by Prof. M. C. Drumbaugh on June 28, the proceeds of which will go to swell the High school library fund. T. A. Befwick was re-elected supervisor of grounds and bulldings and these janitors ‘were elected: High school, Charles Bailey; assistant, George D. Crum; Washington Avenue, Ralph Simpson; Bloomer, J. W. Collarmore; Twentieth Avenue, Thomas Smith; Third Street, C. G. Autenreith; Plerce Street, James Roberts; Second Ave- nue, George W. Rolph; Madison Avenue, W. H.

Fightin “The question of whether Axtel Bunder- son shall recover the money that was stolen from him in Omaba that found on the two men arrested for the theft or whether it shall go to the attorneys to whom it is assigned by the alleged thieves is still occupying the attention of Justice Bryant and the end is not yet in sight. A motion to have the money turned over to the two men arrested is under argument and in the event of the motion being over- ruled the taking of evidence will be re- sumed today. Over Money.

D. Blakemore Republican Aspirant Rallrond Commissioner— ork Begins on Army Post at Des Moines. (From a Staff Correspondent.) DES MOINES. June 17.—(Special)— Justice C. M. Waterman of the supremo court of lowa has eent his resignation to Governor Cummine and will immediately retire from the supreme bench. He will enter the law practice in Davenport with Joseph R. Lane, ex-member of congress. Justice Waterman was twelve years on the district bench, where his record was unexcelled, and he has now served four years on the supreme bench. Next year he would have become chiet justice in the or- der of rotation of the office, and if elected again, which he could be if he so desired, he would have an increased salary amount- ing to $6,000 a year for his second term. His reslgnation means that there will be two judges nominated at the republican state convention. Another term Is con- ceded to Chlef Justice Scott M. Ladd of Sheldon. In the contest last year Judge Towner of Corning, Judge Dewey of Washington, Judge Church of Jefferson, Judge Weaver of Towa Falls and Judge Bishop of Des Moines were candidates. Bishop withdrew when it became evident Cummine would be nomi- nated for governor, and Church was not strong. Dewey has been eliminated as a possibility by defeat for renomination as district judge in his own county. Judge Towner of Corning will likely become at once the most formidable candidate for the place occupied by Waterman on the bench. Governor Cummins this evening declded he would appoint Judge Charles A. Bishop of Des Molnes to the supreme bench to succeed Judge Waterman, resigned. Bishop will also be the leading candidate for the nomination. Blakemore for Commissioner. It was announced here today by W. D. Blakemore of Taylor county that he will be a candldate for the republican nomina- tlon for railroad commissioner. He had been considered for the place some time ago, but had apparently dropped the mat- ter, but arrived in the city today and was in consultation with his friends about the position, stating that he would be a candi- date. He 1s a member of the legislature and made a creditable record and wlill receive the support of the counties of the Eighth district generally. The other candidates for the place are N. 8. Ketchum of Marshalltown, F. A. Daw- son of Waverly and S. A, Smith of Fort Madison. It e generally belleved that Ketchum is In the lead for the place. Drake Faculty Will Change. The trustees of Drake university are in session and will be for several days. Gen- eral Drake, who is the controlling force in the college, is also here. It §s learned that & number of changes in the faculty will be made before the week is over. Chancellor Craig is likely to be su- perseded by Prof. Cooper of Clncinnati, or the position of chancellor may be declared vacant for the present. Cralg has not been popular with the fac- ulty or students for some time. The trus- tees are assured of a number of important bequests to the university at this meeting. Mining and Ranch Company, The Tu Junga company is the name of a new corporation with $300,000 capital, or- ganized at Independence, Ia., and incorpor- ated today. Charles E.

Work Begun on Army Post An event considered of vast importanse in Des Moines occurred today, when the work was actually begun on the army post at Fort Des Molnes under contracts which have been let by the government. The work commenced today was that of tearing down fences and hedges and clearing the land for the work of the builders. Major Turner, in charge of the work at the post for the War department, has let contracts for nearly $200,000 worth of work. The following are the leading contracts let: Wire fencing, A. W.

The hospital and other bulldings will be provided later. The land on which the post will be erected is covered with a fine growth of timothy grass, and Major Turner will in a few daye sell the hay from the same. Testing New lowa Law. Delaware City, Judge McVey of the district court today took under advisement the case of the State against J. H. Brady, manager for the Home Co-operative company of Kansas City, who was arrested in preparation for a friendly suit to test the law relating to incorporation of the home co-operative companies. It is the contention of the attorneys for the companies that the law is unconstitu- tional and they desire to get it to the su- preme court as soon as possible, hence a sult wi brought that will take it to the highest court very soon. The Judge will not decide for some time. Weekly Crop Report.

GAMBLERS CAMPAIGN CAUSE Sloux City Concerns Fight for Passage of Ordinance Permitting Their Licensend Operation, SIOUX CITY, Ia., June 17.—(Special Tele- gram.)—Gambling in Sioux City has not been stamped out. The gamblers today made a sensational flank movement by ap- pearing before the mayor through their at torney, G. W. Argo, and presented a formu- lated ordinance according to which they will be allowed to operate in Sloux City upon the payment of an annual license of $2,400. The gamblers make the claim that Sfoux Clty at present has no ordinance to pun- tsh or prohiblt gambling, the ordinance passed in 1882 to that effect was illegal, they clalm because not authorized by the code. They cite decisions of the supreme court in support of their contention and have a good case. The statute passed by the legislature in 1900 gave the Iowa municipalities such au- thority, but eince then no such ordinance has been passed. They will appear before the council and claim sufficient support among the aldermen to pass the ordinance. NEW POSSESSION IS COSTLY B. C. R. & N.

It will require between $60,000 and $100,000 to replace the damage done by the floods. The main line has inaugurated regular service, but the branch line is still some- what crippled. The new steel bridge at LaPorte, completed but a few weeks before the flood, was completely wiped away.
