COMMERCIAL CLUB ELECTS 01d Executive Uommittes Given Another 8ix Months' Term. FALLING OFF IN THE CLUB MEMBERSHIP Committee Reports it Has Been Un- mable to Secure Another Commis- sioner in Place of Mr, Loom Who Resigned. At the semi-annual meeting of the board of directors of the Commercial club the | executive committes was re-elected for the | ensuing term of six months. These com- prise the committee: H. H. Van Brunt, { chalrman; H. W. Binder, secretary; C. W. McDonald, F. R. Davis, H. A. Quinn. The question of making an effort to in- crease the membership was discussed at | length, as the secretary's report showed that during the last six months 12% mem- bers had become delinquent in payment of | quarterly dues. The club started out with a membership of 38, so deducting the de- linquents the number in good standing at present is only 213. Alderman Huber sug- gested that an effort be made to interest whit he termed the “common” people in the club and recommended that meetings of the entire membership be held more frequently. He also suggested that the| | membership be kept in closer touch with | the executive committee and what the latter body was doing for the upbullding of the city. The report of the treasurer showed that since the organization of the club $4,412.81 ad been recelved and $2,581.01 expended, leaving a balance In the treasury of $1,831.80. Since July 1 only $140.56 had been received into the treasury. The executive committee in answer to Inquiries from the directors present stated | | that it had endeavored to secure a com- | missioner in place of Mr. Loomis, resigned, but had found it extremely difficult to find a competent and’ suitable person. In the matter of the Council Blufts, Ta- | bor & Southern Electric rallroad seeking | an Indorsement of the club and assistance | to obtain a franchise into Council Bluffs, it was decided to leave it in the hands of the executive committee with the recom- mendation that the railroad be glven any | assistance possible provided it entered tho city by a route which would meet with the approval of the committee. SUES THE COUNTY FOR FEES Case is One of Considerable Pecuni- ary Importance to Con- stables, | Buit was brought in the district court yesterday to determine a long disputed | question between the county authorities | and the justice court constables as to the fees which the latter were entitled to charge up in criminal caces. L. T. Alberti, constable in Justice Ouren’s court, appears as plaintiff and Pottawattamie county is made defendant. While the volved in the suit is comparatively small, the action is brought for the purpose of determining the question at issug, and by greement with Assistant County Attorney Hess will be submitted to the court on an agreed statement of faots. In the action at bar Constable Albert! sues for $24.40, belng fees taxed up on or- ders Issued by the justice of the peace against the sherifft of the county ‘‘to produce” a prisoner or defendant awaiting | trial or preliminary hearing. The fee taxed | up for this service is 30 cents, with 10 cents | mileage, making In all 40 cents. Since ‘the appointment of J. J. Hess as assistant | county attorney these fees have been blue- | penciled and the board of supervisors, act- | Ing on the recommendation of Mr. Hess, | has refused to allow them. An order “to produce” isissued every time a defendant is brought from the county jall to the justice’s = court. It may happen that during the preliminary hearing or trial of & person charged with a criminal offense such an | order may be issued several times. For in- stance, if the hearing is held fn the morn- ing when time for adjournment for dinner arrives at noon, the defendant is taken back to jall and after dinner is brought back Into court. The same may happen soveral days In succession If the case is an important one and a large number of wit- nesses have to be examined. Then the same order 1s issued If the defendant is re- leased on bail or discharged. County Attorney Killpack takes the stand that the law does not provide for the fs- sulng of an order “to produce” directed against the sherift and consequently there is nothing in the statutes authorizing the constable to collect a fee for ‘“serving” same, The statutes only provide for an | order against the sherift “to release” a | | prisoner. On behalf of the plaintift it is | | contended that an-order “to produce” is substantially an order “to release,” as the | defendant could not be produced unless he was released from the county jail. The outcome of the sult is of considerable importance to the constables throughout the county and will be watched by them with much interest. Federal Court Jurors.

FEARS OF A FEVER EPIDEMIC Prompt Measures Must He Taken to Remedy C: The stench arising from the stagnant water In the flooded districts of the city is becoming almost unbearable, and the health authorities realize that unless some measures are taken without further delay the danger of an epldemic of typhold fever or other sickness is imminent. In the district north of Broadway the water is being drained off but slowly, and | as a large area is much below grade the water will remain in the lots until it finally seeps Into the ground. The same conditions to a great extent prevall in the to lack of sufficient drainage, is becoming coated with a green slime and emitting a tearful stench. The Board of Health is considering the advisabllity of securing several hundred barrels of lime and scattering the con- tents over the flooded areas, with a view | to allaying the stench and the danger of sickness. The proposition, however, which the health authorities have to tackle is a stu- pendous one, and owing to the depleted condition of the city treasury It Is not cer- | | tain where the funds necessary to take ef- fective measures to alleviate the situation will be coming from. The Board of Health, | it was stated yesterday, would meet to- morrow night to take some action in the | matter. * School Opens Tuesday. The public schools of Council Blufts will open Tuesday morning of next week after a three months' vacation and the opening will mark the beginning ot the new school year.

IOWA, CONTEST OVER NOMINATION Diokinson Delegates Koop Ovt of Conven- tion and Emmet Names a Man. QUEER TURN IN BUTLER BREMER DISTRICT Receiver is Asked for Northwest- ern Life and Savings Company and Transfer of Objected To. (From a Staff Correspondent.) DES MOINES, Sept. 2—(8pecial.)— B. F. Robinson of Emmet county appeared be- fore the secretary of state early this morning and filed his nomination papers as the republican nominee for representa- tive in the Emmet-Dickinson district. The papers were in regular form and the name will go on the ballot. Mr. Robinson's haste was due to the fact that there was a serl- ous disagreement in the convention, or in the district. The two counties comprising the district have an equal number of votes in the convention. When the convention met yesterday afternoon at Estherville two of the Dickinson county delegates were absent and the delegation refused to pre- sent credentlals to the committee or to take part beyond the temporary organiza- tion. The Emmet county men proceeded to nominate Robinson. The Dickinson county delegates who were present after- wards met and nominated Dr. G. A. Fuller of thelr county for the same office. The Robinson men make a show of regularity and assert that they had given the Dick- inson county delegation assurance there would be no advantage taken of them be- cause of the absence of part of the dele- gation. It Is expected that the name of Fuller will go on the ticket by petition and it will be a three-cornered fight. The republicans have a sufficlent number to elect even thought divided badly. An unusual thing happened in the sen- atorlal convention at Clarksville yester- day. The district is composed of Bremer, with ten votes, and Butler, with thirteen votes. E. W. Soesbe of Butler had selected was assured of success. But in the con- vention two of his delegates voted for G. N. Larkin, the Bremer county candidate, and the latter was selected as the noml- nee. The attack was made on the personal character of Soesbe, and it Is alleged his delegates went back on him because of this fact. Lawsait Over Child. Attorneys and interested persons returned today from Sac City, where there was a preliminary hearing before Judge Powers in reghrd to the disposal of the child of Miss Richardson of Calhoun county, which was In possession of the manager of a ma- ternity hospital in Des Moines. The child had been adopted by Mrs. Fred West and Miss Richardson was to have paid her $200. She did not pay all of it, but Miss Richardson's grandparents found out the facts and secured possession of the child. Then Mrs. West got it back again under a writ of habeas corpus. Yesterday Judge | Powers gave the child Into the keeping of Miss Richardson's grandmother. The case will probably be settled and the child left with its grandmother. The sult is one prosecuted by the Humane soclety here and has been attracting attention in sev- eral countfes fér several weeks. Ask for a Receiver, A petition was flled today In a sult ask- ing a receiver for the Northwestern Life and Savings company of this city and a writ of mandamus to prevent the consum- mation of the sale of the company to the Northwestern National Life of Minneapolis. The sult is filed' by E. H. O'Conner, Jere- miah Stoner, and about a dozen others, and the allegations follow the general line of the suits which have previously been com- menced against this and similar companies doing a business as Insurance companies and issulng investment certificates without 1aedical examination. The plaintiffs ask that the accounts be returned from Minne- apolls if they have been sent there and that an injunction fssue to prevent the final transfer of the property and that in the meantime a recelver shall have charge of the affairs of the company. The check- ing over of the securities In the office of auditor of state was completed this morn- ing and It was expected that the sale woull be completed very soon. The company is the last of the companies operating under the Iowa law and doing this class of busi- ness, and the sale was brought about by an order shutting it out of Minnesota. Collateral Inheritance Taxes, There is a good prospect that the pres ent month will break all records in the matter of the collection of collateral in- heritance taxes, Yesterday over 35,000 was received at the state treasurer's office In small amounts from various countles. To- day the second largest single payment was made. This was a draft for $12,96.43 on account of the estate of the late John B. Phelps of Davenport, who died three yea ago. He left an estate, chiefly in corpora- tion stocks, which netted over §500,000, one- half of which went to the widow and the remainder to collateral heirs. He left a bequest of $1,000 to the Academy of Science, The only other single collection as large as this one was early in the life of the law and a good part of that had to be pald back again. The $12,000 is not all that will be collected on this estate. New lowa Corporations, The articles of incorporation were flied todsy with the secretary of state of the following: Portsmouth Telephone com- pany of Portsmouth, Shelby county; capi tal, $10,000; George Balley, president; M.

The matter of re- arranging the finances was considered and pome of the departments that have not been well provided for as they should be were given more money for their use. Re- | ports were recelved from different depart- | ments. The women's auxiliary committee | appeared before the commission for the | first time and annc ced organization with Mrs, W. H.

It was — trict of Towa the Dickinson county repub- licans are running Dr. Faller of Milford and the Ernst county republicans are run- ning the present representative, B, F. Rob- inson of Armstrong.

Meyers, allas Marson, allas Mafson, at Muscatine, on request of the Marshall county officers, caused a distinct sensation here. Marson is one of the sinoothest eonfi- dence men in the United States, and has & record of two terms in the penitentiary and numerous encounters with county Jalls. He poses as a singing evangelist and promoter of gigantic manufacturing en- terprises, the nephew of Millionaire Mc- Cormack's widow, owner of plantations in the south, and various other roles have Ia., Sept. 2.—(Spe- and Minnesota, states. Early in February of this year Marson, who gave his name then as Malson, came to Marshalltown and proposed to start the Seminola Manufacturing company, & big concern which was owned principally by the wealthy widow McCormack, and who desired to extend the business largely, selecting & town outside of Chicago be- cause of the labor situation being more satisfactory. Then Marson began to advertise for help, opening up a temporary office and recetv- ing applications by the score. Each ap- plicant was required to pay a sum rang- ing from $2 to $15 to pay the ¢xpenses of recording, etc., and were to be’ given good positions as clerks, foremen and fore- women In the gigantic establishment he was about to erect. He rented houses for his head men, who were to come from Chicago to reside here, and was negotlating for a site on which to erect his factory. In the meantime he got busy with the religlous end of his work and became a prime favorite in church circles. He was a beautiful singer, and delighted his audiences with his solos. It was his cu tom to preface his solos with some touch- ing incident of his work in the south and in Europe, where he claimed to have met Mrs. Maybrick, whose pitiful case led him to write an inspiring song, which Maison would sing with fine effect. With a local preacher from Marshall- town Maison made several trips from Marshalltown, doing work among the churches. At Green Mountain he con: ducted two services, where his stories and singing trought tears to nearly everyone in his sudience, and where they raised & yurse for him. Maison said he had no use for the money, but would give it to a man in Marshall- town who was dying of consumption. ‘When Marson had been here a month and there were no developments concerning the arrival of Mrs. McCormack, whom Mar- son declared had been taken ill, the people began to suspect something Wrong. One day T. A. Wall, who was formerly a guard at the state penitentiary. met Marson on the street and recognized him. Marson acknowledged his identity, but said he was living an honest life and was trav- and posstbly in other | mixer of drinks had accepted the invitation, eling for an advertising firm in 8t. Paul. Wall, who was in the city only tempo- rarily, thought no more of the matter un- til later, when Marson disappeared and the facts about his career came out. Marson or Malson has been heard from Indirectly several times since he left Mar- shalltown last spring, always working a similar graft. Recently he went to Mus- catliie, and after getting in the good graces of the church lolk he launched the Im- perial company, and, when arrested, eigh- teen young'men vere waiting their turn in his palatial office to pay over their $1§ application fee and recelve Instructions, etc,, on the same old plan. In the meantime the people of the Con- gregational church were arranging for & blg reception in Marson's honor, but his arrest will probably make It necessary to postpone that function. Marson will be brought to this city, where he will be taken before the grand jury, which is now in session. MRS.

Z.—(Special.)— There Is great excitement here and throughout the northern part of the state as a result of recent discoveries In the vieinity of Bald mountain. Many years ago there was a gold excitement at Bald moun- tain, but the bottom dropped out of the boom, for it was found that the yellow metal did not exist in paylng quanities. Captain Jack Hilliard, Emmett Mann, Ben Dunmee and other early prospectors never lost faith in the feld and have kept on prospecting all of these years. Recently they were rewarded by the discovery of & rich formation of quartz ore of blanket nature near the north end of the mountain, Millions of tons of the ore are In sight, and assays show that it will run anywhere from $ to $1,100 in gold to the ton.
