The, fire department was called by a still alarm at 9 o’clock last night to the First National bank building at the corner of Broadway and South Mafn street, where a smoldering fire was discovered in the floor~ ing between the barber shop in the base- ment and the banking room on the first floor. Ome of the joists was found :to be burned partly through, and had evidently been smoldering for several hours. In or- der to get at the meat of the trouble the firemen were obliged to knock & hole in the celling of the barber shop and in the tiled flooring of the bank. The blaze was extine guished by the chemical. Dense smoke pouring from the windows of the bank first attracted attention to the blaze.

CANNING ANNOUNCES HE IS AFTER IT Republican Politiclans Are Some- what Surprised at Codsine’ Can- didacy fer a Third Term, Matters political came to & show down in the sheriff's office yesterday afternoon with the result that Deputy BEd Canning was summarily given his walking papers by Captain Cousins. Canning's enforced retirement from the position which he has held ever ‘since Captaln Cousins as sumed the office of sheriff in January, 1900, created considerable surprise at the court house and in local republican circles. Canning’s summary dismissal followed a private conference between him and Sher- ift Cousins. Captain Cousins stated that he was a candidate for a third term and that if Canning was also a candidate, as had been reported in the papers, the sooner he quit the office the better. Canning as- sured the captain that he was a candidate and had every intention of staying in the fleld. ““Well,” replied Bherift Cousins, “if you are a candiddte you are agalnst me and I will not have any man working for me Who is agalnst me.” Deputy Canning aesured the captain that he was not against him any more than that he was for Can- ning. At the same time Canning called the attention of Captain Cousins to the fact that it was well understood thres years ago that he would be a candidate at the expiration of his, Captain Cousins’, second term. This explanation, however, was not satiefactory to the sheriff and Deputy Canning was requested to turn over his star forthwith, which he aid. Oreates Some Surprise. The announcement that Captain Cousins seriously contemplated being a candidate for a third term created no small surprise in local republiean circles. Last fall when #0 much objection was raised by the rank and flle to the republicans renominating men for third and even fourth terms, the republican county central committes {s- sued a circular in which it promised that the candidates for the several offices to be voted on this fall would be all new men and that the two-term policy would hence- forth rula. It was generally supposed that this pledge would be kept and the rank and file of the party was only kept in line last fall by this understanding. Friends of Deputy Canmning, who for a number of years has been a prominent factor in local politics and who is chair- man of the city republican central com- mitteo, assert that ghree years ago when Captain Cousins announced hfs candidacy for the office of sheriff that Mr, Canning could have then secured-the nomination, but that he withdrew in favor of Captain Cousins on the distinct understanding that ;| 8t the end of the captain's second term, if he should be fortunate to secure that Mr. Canning would be a can- didate., The further understanding was that Mr. Canning, in Teturn £gr withdraw- ing from the fleld and supporting Captain | Ooukitnis, was fo have one of the deputyships during the two terms. B4 Canning served as city marshal from 1893 to 1805 end from 1895 to 1897 as city ‘marshal and chiet ot police, the two offices being consolldated by an act of the legis- lature in 1895. Organising Union Label League. T, P. Menton of Boone, state organizer of the Jows Federation of Labor, is in the city and has called a mass meeting for to- night in Labor hall for the purpose of forming a union label league. A special invitation is extended to women interested in unlon labor to attend and join the lea- 'gue. The object of the league is to pro- mete the eale of goods bearing the union label. Bimflar leagues have been organized by Mn Menton n Burlington, Clinton and Centerville and the preliminary steps to form one tn Sfoux Oity taken. In urging the formstion of these lesgues Mr. Menton lays stress on the opinfon that it women could be brought to discriminate between goods bearing the unien label and ofbiers & great step would be taken in favor and support of organized labor. My, Menton has recently organized school teachers’ untons in Davenport and Clinton the city end #f the outlook is anyway prom- ising will at & later date attempt to effect mfl’-uon in 'Council Bluffs. Mr, Menton yesterday sent for charters for the teamsters’ and bartenders’ unions city, temperary organizations of have been effected by Business Agent Board of Supervisors. The county supervisors held a short ses- slon yesterday morning, devoting the after- noon to an inspection of certain road and bridge work in the vicinity of the eity. The claim of D, 0'Grady and wife for two months’ salary, amounting to $100, for car- ing for the new isolation hospital recently established by the city on the Liggett property, was referred to the county at- torney, The board questioned the right of the City Board ot Health to enter into the contract it did with &Grady and wite and refused to pay the claim until the county attorney had passed upon it.

ONAWA, Ia., 19.—(Special Tele- gram.)—Gilbert S. Gilberison, state treas- | urer of Towa, through the attorney general | of Towa, brought euit in the Monona county district court today against George A. Oliver, executor of the estate of Julla P.

Whiting, husband of Mrs. Whiting, was one of the richest men in the county at the time of his death. Feb. Hossack Defense Outlined. WINTERSET, Ia., Feb. 19.—(Special.) The critical point in the Hossack case h been reached. The state this morning an- nounced that it would rest, and the fore- noon has been devoted to witnesses for the defense. The defense had twenty-tvo wit- | nesses subpoenaed this morning, all of whom, outside of members of the Hossack tamily, are physicians. The whole c therefore, rests upon the question of whether or mot Mrs. Hossack had time to wash the blood off her hands, hide the ax and get the room in shapw for the calling of the children, or whether, as she claimed, she awakened the children as soon as she heard the noise in the house and knew that her husband was wounded. Pours Gasoline on Fire, CEDAR FALLS, Ia., Feb. 19.—Lars Mad- sen, & bachelor living seven miles west of this city, poured gasoline from a jug on the flames of a flickering wood fire to make it burn faster. An explosion followed and his head, face and hands were badly burned. The hair was burned from his head and the beard from his face. The skin of his hands peeled” off when he at. tempted to dress them and he ran out into the cold with the mercury 18 degrees below and walked two miles to a nelgh- bor's for ald. He was almost crazed with pain. ‘Medfcal assistance was lummolled from this ecity, Lies by Roadside All Night. CEDAR FALLS, Ia., Feb. 19.—(Special.) —George Jerguson, who works for J. P. Rasmussen south of this city, lies at the hospital in a pitiable condition.

His face, hands and feet were badly frozen when he was found. He may lose both his feet and hands, but stren- uous fferots will be made to save them. Fireman Frightfully Burn. OBDAR FALLS, Ia., Feb. 19.—(Special.) —John Bighmer, fireman for the Harris & Cole Bros. company, suffered terrible burns yesterday while attending the fire at the factory. He threw a large bunch of shavings from the planing machine into the firebox of the furnance and the draft blew the blazing mass into his face. The skin from the forehead and left side of the tace fell off and the burns were of such severe nature that it is feared the eyesight of both eyes will be impaired if not en- uny destroyed.

The evi- dence was closed at 11:30 o'clock today, no testimony of any material interest being introduced today. The testimony of Mrs. Krebbs, the defendant, and her daughter, Miss Holden, created the greatest Impres- slon on the jury and went far toward show- ing justification for the killing of Krebbs.

DES MOINES, Feb. 19.—(Special.)—The state capitol commission, charged with the duty of completing the state capitol wnd repairing the same, is in session In the #ity, and will be tomorrow and Saturday. Messrs. A. B. Funk of Spirit Lake and C. P. Shoent- gen of Council Blufts arrived this after- noou. The commission received the per- fected plans for the new state warehouse which s to be built on ground owned by the state near the capitol and to join the heat- ing plant for the state capitol. These plans were prepared in Cedar Rapids and contem plate a building sufficiently large for the storage of all the vast amount of paper and pplles for the state printing and binding and the use of the state officers and many of the unused public documents which Pow cumber the various rooms of the state cap- itol. Work will be commenced on this very soon. The commission is also preparing to greatly add to the force engaged in making repairs on the building and to push this work rapidly. The commission will also lay plans immediately for the general dec- oration of the bullding. Board of Health President. At the meeting of the State Board of Health today A. M. Linn of thig city re- sigued as president, and was succeeded by C. E. Adams of Sac City, the senlor mem- ber. Both ars homeopaths. R. E. Conniff of Sioux City was selected as delegate from the board to the American public health and marine hospital service convention in Washington. The board decided that chickenpox should be placed on the list of those diseases which are regarded as in- fectious and must be reported and quaran- tined. This was due largely to the fact that many complaints had come to the board of doctors calling smallpox the chick- enpox, and thus exposing school children to the contagion. The board reported that in the past year sertificates were issued to 238 physiclans and 300 to osteopaths. At the last examinadon forty-seven were ex- amined, and all but elght were today granted certificates. Prosecuting Illegal Doctors. The secretary of the State Board of Health has commenced the prosecution of W. H. Hale and Charles E. Montague of this city for practicing without having se- cured certificates. Both are young men. Hale Is connected with a “British medical” institute and Montague is engaged in s clal practice. Neither have secured certi- flcates from thé board entitling them to practice. Complaint was flled with the board against Dr. E. B. Fulllam of Musca- tine to the effect that he had falled to re- port smallpox and he has been cited to ap- pear before the board and make explana- tion of his fallute so to do. The board has deliberately entered upon a policy of mak- ing it warm -for.sll who fall to secure certificates and those Who Fefuse to comply tions have been commenced here and else- where. Upholdp the Wine Rooms, For some time there has been a deter- mined fight made in Des Moines to break up what were called the wine rooms, Arrests were mado of pérsons found iu restaurants where liquors were being served to gu where there were women present. It wi claimed that restaurant managers were not allowed to dispense liquors to women. These restaurants’sent out and purchased the liquors on individual orders and served them to customers like other things. To- day in the district court Judge Given de- cided a tgst case in favor of the defendants, holding that a restaurant keeper has u right to eerve liquors to customers when the same have been purchased regularly at & lcensed saloon., This decision will put stop to the crusade against wine rooms. Whitechapel Sold at Auction. A large part of that district in Des Moines known as ‘“Whitechapel,” from the fact that an effort has been made for many years to concentrate the wickedness of the city there, was sold at public auction this morning. Naturally the auction attracted a large crowd to see who would buy such property and quite as naturally the prices obtained were not very startling. Most of the property was purchased by Nick Disalvo, an Itallan fruit vendor, for specu- lative purpose: but a number of the houses and lots were purchased by work- ingmen who expect to occupy them as homes. The district is being crowded off the map by the warehouses and factories. Considering Fraternal Matters. The executive committee of the lowa fraternal congress, conmsisting of Messrs. E. C. Corley of Des Moines, George Al- berts of Marshalitown and John D. Deni- s0n of Clarion, is in session in Des Moines to consider the work of the fraternal con- gress. This fs the first meeting of the committee since its appointment a few weeks ago. The congress has before it a number of matters relating to the laws of Jowa and the development of fraternal companies and the committee is engaged in taking these up. Murder es Go Over. In the district court today the cases of the State against the two BaTiesas or Aarons and against Beveridge and Burns, all for the murder of Jerry Corcoran, were taken out of the assigment and will be tried later in the term. The attorney for Burns showed thet only teday 3ad he come into possession of the alleged confession of the BaTiesas in the case and that he knew of important Witnesses who could not be secured.' He claims that he will be able to show that Beveridge alone was responsible for the murder. The confes- sion in the case been made by Mr. and Mrs. Aaron, who went under the name of BaTiesa here. State Convention Called. ‘mny with the law and numerous prosecu- The date for the probibitionist state con- vention at Marshalltown has been fixed for May 27 mext. This is unusually early and the prohibitionists say they intend to make a longer and harder campaign than usual. The prohibition vote in Jowa last year was less than half what it was the year prev- lous and @ result the names will have to go on the ballots by petition instead of Exchange.

The governor's | friends believe he would be a most sultable running mate for President Koosevelt, who, it is conceded in Iowa, will head the ticket. The man referred to declares he has post« { tive assurances that Mr. Roosevelt has not expressed any preference as 1o his running mate, and this adds to the beltef that the governor has more than an even chance of sccuring the honor It is pointed out by the latter's friends | that geographical requirements will bring | the vice presidential nominatfon to the west, where the governor 1s popular.
