ASSAULT WAS UNPROVOKED Companion of Roderick Says Moyer Had No Part in Quarrel Before Being Struck. ice city water in 5 per month, office, or 65 Rev. E. W. F The preliminary hearing of Otto W. Rod- erick and John Willlams, charged with causing the death of Railway Mail Clerk Moyer, will, it is expected, not be had be- fore Justice Bryant before Saturday. Wil- lams has made a statement to Chiet of Police Tibbits which in part is contradic- tory to that of Roderick and indicates that Moyer was the victim of an unprovoked as- sault. He sald that Moyer took no part in the quarrel in front of the Creston House loon and made no attempt whatever to strike Roderick. Moyer, according to Wil- lams’ statement, was standing apart from the other men and was apparently consid- erably under the influence of liquor. Wil- llams said he slapped the man who made the Insulting remark to him and that Rod- erick went up to Moyer and dealt him a terrific blow in the face, the force of which lifted the unfortunate man clear off his feet and hurled him backward to the pave- ment, his head crashing against the stone sidewalk. The rest of Willlams' statement was substantially the same as that of Rod- erick. From Willlams the police learned that the three young men in Moyer's company at the time of the assault were Frank Cook, Roy Keller and Willlam Frisby, The residences of the three young fellows is known to the authorities and they will be called s witnesses at the preliminary hearing Saturday. Up to last evening the police had made mo effort to secure any statements from the three young fellows. The remains of Clark Moyer were shipped last evening to Fairfield, Ia., where the Knights of Pythias lodge, of which he was & member, will take charge of the funeral. A brother of the dead man arrived from Lincoln last evening, but was unable to accompany the body to Fairfield. Rab There is a surplus of tame rabbits and plgeons at Fairmount park and at the meet- ing of the Board of Commissioners last night a plan to get rid of them was de- vised and it will be carried out, provid- ing the clerk of the weather will call off the rain for July 4.

"Ph HARD T0 PICK THE WINNERS Republioan Situation, so Far as Twe Of- ficers Are Oonoernad, is Mixed. FIVE WANT TO BE CLERK OF THE COURTS One Less Entry in the Race County Attorney, but Form Pl ers Are Fully as Mach in the Dark. for The approaching republican county con- vention, which will be held next Tuesda 1s causing but little stir in local political circles, although several of the candidates are sald to be making fairly active can- vassee. Chief interest centers in the nom- inations for county attorney and clerk of the district court, as there are several candidates for each of these nominations. Things are badly mixed up and it would be hard even with the convention as close it 1s to pick out the winners. This ie the opinion expressed by many leading mem- bers of the republican party in Council Bluffs yesterday. There are five active candidates for the nomination for clerk of the district court, Freeman L. Reed, who seeks a renomina- tion and, according to his friends, s sure to get it; H. V. Battey, deputy clerk at Avoca, who Is sanguine of success and says he will go into the convention with solid delegations from Knox, Layton and Lincoln townships as a starter; G. G. Baird, deputy clerk at Council Blufts, who is an old-time republican war horse and party leader in the Second ward and who undoubtedly will have a strong following in the convention, especlally among the city delegates; Harry M. Brown, deputy clerk of the superior court and chairman of the city central commjttee, whose friends assort he will be heard from in mo uncer- tain terms when the roll is called, and E. E. Sayles, assistant ticket agent at the Union Pacific transfer depot and former al- derman-at-large. Four for County Attormey. For the nomination for county attorney the present incumbent, W. H. Killpack, is willlng to mccept a renomination and h: 80 declared himself, but is not making & very strenuous campaign. His friends— and he has a large and powerful following in the county precincts—are sanguine that the nomination will again fall to him. Clem Kimball, assistant county attorne: wanis to drop the “assistant” from his title ard is making an active but dignified canvass. John M. Galvin Is regarded a strong candidate and his friends and sup- .| porters see no reason why the lightning should not strike his way. There is som: talk of J. J. Hess' name being brought be- fore the convention in connection with this nomination, although up to date Mr. Hess declined to be considered as a candi- clear fleld for renom- tnation for county auditor, no one having appeared yet as willing to contest it with him. Elmer E. Smith will, it is generally conceded, recelve a renpmipation for county recorder, although D. H. Balley, ticket agent at Loveland, has announced himself as a candidate. Allan Bullls, who was appolnted to fill the unexpired term of Supervisor B. G. Auld, and Henry Brandes are both candl- dates for the nominations for members of the county board and as yet have the fleld all to themselves. For the township nominations it 1s be- lleved that Justice Carson will be mom- inated by acclamation for one of the can- didates for that office, while Justice Bry- ant will have an opponent in the person of Ovide Vien, who held the office before him for four terms. Lee Albert! and Hiram Baird, the present incumbents, are the only two candidates mentioned to date for the nominations for constables. It is likely, however, before the convention rolls around that there will be other aspirants in the fleld. Mayne for Temporary Chalrman. County Chalrman Wright announced yesterday that George H. Mayne would be temporary chairmag of the republican county convention next Tuesday. Mr. Mayne is one of the younger members of the bar, who has the reputation of being quite an orator. The primaries to select delégates to the county convention will be held Saturday evening, and as far appears on the surface, they will be entirely devold of any exciting contests. The democrats of Pottawattamie county will, it is sald, inaugurate a new pollcy in the conduct of their campaign this fall The nominations for the several offices will be tendered to candidates willing to accept them on the express understanding that they will not be asked to contribut to a party campalgn fund. In other words, the candidates will be left to their own resources to make the campaign as they deem best. Louls Zurmueblen, ir. it Is said, s willing to accept the nomination for clerk of the district court on these conditions, T. E. Casady is talked of the likely democratic nominee for county attorney. As yet candidates for the other nominations have themselves known. Fire! Fire! The largest stock of in the ecity. A. B. Howe, 810 Fire! fireworks Broadway. Gravel roofing, A. H, Read, 541 Broadway.

When the flames reached the ammonla tank there was an explosion and the machinery was blown to pleces. Insurance of $2,600 was taken out on the contents of the bullding last Saturday. The building was insured for $200. OBJECT TO CIVIL MARRIAGES Ministerial Association Discusses the Prevalling Favoritism for Justices. While the pastors of the city forming the membership of the Council Bluffs Minis- terial assoclation insist that they do not look with covetous eyes upon the fees, they are firmly of the opinion that “the cause of religion and the eanctity of the marriags is greatly lowered” by so many wedding ceremonles belng performed by the justices of the peace. In other words, they protest against the prevalence of civil marriages. The subject was discussed at the meeting of the Ministerial assoclation Monday and Pastor Calfee of the Broad Methodist church was outspoken in his arralgnment of civil marriages, the prevalonce of which he attributed to the low fee charged by the After stating that the general impression tbat the ministers were lining thelr pockets with gold per- forming the marrlage ceremony for the hundreds of people who made Councii Blufts a veritable Mecea for weddings was er- roneous, he eald: ‘‘Most of the marriages are clvil marriages, performed by some godless old justice of the peace, who has no more reverence for the sacredness of matrimony than he has for the divorce court. Why, it has gotten so that these Justices of the peace are invited out into the country to perform this sacred and holy service.” Justice Bryant, when told of Pastor Cal- fee's arralgnment of the justices of the peace, demounced it as uncalled for. He said: “I marry people who apply to me, providing they have the properly iseued license from the clerk of the district court, and 1 charge them the statutory fee. The law empowers me to perform the marriage ceremony and I shall continue to do 8o as long as I am justice of the peace. Mr. Cal- fee's attack on the justices is entirely un- called for.” Judge Carson, when asked for an opinion, declined to express himself, but said he aid not think when a couple applied to him with the regularly issued certificate to per- form the ceremony that he would declina to act and refer them to some minister of the gospel.

The continued cold, damp weather {s making its impression on the corn, which s now at a standstill and showing signs of failing vitality, and 1s full of weeds. The hay is almost ready to cut, but it is impossible to get in the flelds on account of the wet condition of the ground. Many flelds of oats have fallen down, so it will be hard work to harvest them, and signs of rust are de- veloping. One of the heaviest ralns of the season visited this county Saturday night and continued all day Sunday. So much water fell that it was impossible for the sewerb to carry it all away and the streets were turned into rivulets. The rain was a cold ome, the thermometer dropping to within & few degrees of freez- ing point. Menace Temperance Editor. CRESTON, Ia., July 1.—(Special.)—What appears to be a manifestation of the dis- pleasure of the saloon element of the city over the policy of the Searchlight, a new prohibition paper of Creston, has just come to light. The paper has been in op- eratlon for three weeks and has been bitter in its attacks, causing much com- plaint among the saloom men. When the editor, E. R. Button, went to open his office today he found a rope tied to the doorknob with a noose in the end of it and & brick lylng on the threshold. This was taken by the temperance people to be a covert threat of violence on tha part of the whisky element, and they nave taken steps to have the property of the paper and its editor guarded. Iowa Crops Not Injured. DES MOINES, July 1.~With reports from ninety-seven counties out of ninety-nine Director Sage of the Iowa bureau and crop service declared this morning that the Iowa crops were etanding the cold weather and heavy rains remarkably well and that the predictions of damage and loss were purely visionary. He declares that the bulk of the corn crop is below the averages, but be- Iteves that good weather will bring it out. The yleld will be all that could be asked. Towa State News Notes.

CLARKSON MAY GET PENSION AGENCY Governor Vacaney on Stafl—Prepar- ing for Encampment. (From a Staff Correspondent.) DES MOINES, July 1.—(Special.)—The last of the supplementary reports of the rallroad companies doing business in Iowa, as required under the request of the State Executive council in conformity with a law passed at the last session of the leglsla- ture, were recelved by the eecretary this morning. These were the reports of the Northwestern and the Milwaukee com- panles. The supplemental reports had been delayed because the request was not made until & part of the year had elapsed. The Information desired covers the fn- tricate matter of the relative proportion of the business in lowa and outside of the state on the various eystems, the exact proportion of the business which origi- nated in Towa and terminated elsewhere and the proportion which originated outside of the state and terminated in lowa. It had been currently reported that the companies would not make these reports, at least not this year, but they have been filing them one at a time. The reports, however, are far from com- plete and will be of little actual assiet- ance to the councll in the matter of fixing the assessments. The new law has now gone into effect and the companies will have a full year in which to prepare thiy part of their reports. A classification of business fs what is called for in the blanks sent out by the counoll. Four schedules are asked for, one relating to the business done exclusively in Towa, another to the business originating in this state and terminating in some other state, a third to business originating in other states and terminating in Iowa, and & fourth to business passing through the state and neither originating nor terminat- ing in Towa. The Northwestern complied with the pro- visions of the law in every particular as it referred to raflroad business, but was un- able to make a division of express and mall business. This is because the road makes contracte for the hauls in Jowa. The bust- ness s charged as Iowa income and can he assessed accordingly. The Milwaukee claims that its books had not been kept in a manner rendering it pos- sible to furnieh the four schedules, but a complete statement is made of the business accredited to the state, No dlsposition has appeared indicating that the roads will make a fight on the law and from appearances an effort will be made to reconstruct the plan of bookkeep- Ing in order to meet the new requirements of the law. The members of the council are pleased with the result of the law so far as it has operated and it is believed the as- sessment will be more equitable by reason of these reports than it has been for many years. 8t.
