The last vostlgo of the Council Bluffs
Business Men's club has disappeared. Of
this organization much has been written , but
f all accounts are true Its unwritten history
grnatly preponderates over what has thus
far l oo > \ made public. Many unfavorable
stories aio told by the ox-members and they
rejoice that the club has nt last succumbed
to what they believe to bo the inevitable re
sult of rank mlamnnagomcnt , Some of them
wish , that it had "died a-borniu1 , " but the
fact that it did not docs not prevent the ex-
hlbltion of more or less hilarity over its final
demise. There were a few members , however -
over , who stayed by it to the last , and they
sighed regretfully when they saw the furnl-
turo ro'iovod Thursday afternoon , and taken
over the river. The furniture and all tbo
property of the club was sold to the Omaha
Wheel club for * 500 , and now graces the
establishment of that organization. "It
makes mo sere to see that stuff go , " remarked -
marked a member who witnessed the ro-
moviil of the property. "It cost us over
$ JBOO , and now It gous for a song. Tba car
pets nnd draperies cost ever JSOO , and it
seems to mo that wo ought to tmvo realized
considerably more out of iho salo. "
"Who gets the inonoy that comes in ! "
"Tho creditors gobble every cent of It , nnd
there ain't enough of It to go around. Wo
ain't out of debt yet , nnd I supuoso wo will
have to go down In our pockets to dig up
enough to make the account balance , "
The disconsolate club man ovulnntly felt
bad and ho refused to talk any tnoro about
the matter.

Prcnchor llolmiak'fl Trial.
Another batch of Interesting testimony
was Introduced yesterday in the trial of Kov.
Mr. Holinlck , charged with the murder of
Ed Palmer. The testimony was In behalf of
thodcfonso , and greatly strengthened Us
theory that the conspiracy against Holmt clt
was the outgrowth of the minister's opposi
tion to the saloons tnoro than the result ; of
personal fooling on the part of Palmar.
The evldonca of flioso witnesses was to
the effect that numoruu * throats had been
uttered against Helmick as the result of the
division In Ncola In regard to the enforce
ment of the prohibitory law ; that these
throats worn communicated to Ilolmlck , and
ho was warned by his friends to look out or
.hero would bo another Haddock uaso ; that
the ga-ig who attacked him at his house were
not there for the purpose inoroly of throwIng -
Ing eggs , but th.it they were armed with
deadly weapons.
Mrs. Tabor was the first witness whoso
testimony was in any way sensational. She
lived over the store where her husband kept
a restaurant , and there was 'an outsldo
stairway to the building. On Sunday night
about 12 o'clock she was sitting nt the door
way , with only a screen door between her
nnd the top of the stairway. Two men carne
along , nnd coming hnlf way up the stairway ,
sat down , and heir1 ig themselves frequently
to a flask of whisky , proceeded to talk over
n scheme for "doing up Helmick. " They
said they were going to "help Ed do a bet
tor job than ho had done the ( Saturday )
evening before. " They were going to way
lay HeiaiicK when Ills wife and children
were away from homo , so that "they
wouldn't raise any howl. " They said they
wore going to boat him almost to death.
On cross-examination she admitted that
she could not tell who thoss two men woro.
She found their whisky flash on the stops
the next morning. She was a member of
Mr. Holmick's church. Her husband used
to keep a restaurant , but since the shooting
ho had boon running a suloon. Her husband
bad not been prosecuted for selling liquors.
Mr. Osborno was tbo next witness. Ho
was engaged in Witt's store on the morning
of the Monday on the night of which day
Palmer was shot. Palmer came into the
store and began bragging about having been
concerned the preceding Saturday night in
egging Helmick. Palmer said that Satur
day Jilcht ho stood ut the corner of Hel-
micK's house with n plccu of iron casting in
his hand , so that if Holinlck tackled any of
the boys ho was going to puralyzo him. Os
berne expostulated with him , nnd told him
this was dangerous business , but Palmer
said , "Wo'ro going to do up the
jtist the same. " Ho further said ,
"Wo didn't get s itlsfoctlon Saturday night ,
acd so wo'ro going back tonight. "
The prosecution dropped this witness
without a single cross question.
J. H. Crup wus next called. Sweeney ,
ono of the egg-throwing crowd , was at work
for him. Ho talked with him about this
matter , and urged him not to nngatro in it as
it wus uot right , and wus dangerous , too.
Swoonoy said that Sells ( who was then city
marshal ) would tuko euro of the boys , and
that a number of the prominent citizens of
Neola would like to sea the job dono. Ho
mentioned no names but that of Sells.
County Attorney Organ protested against
the dragging In of the name of Soils , who
was now deau , and unable therefore to deny
such statements.
Dan Austin swore that ho had a talk with
Palmer the day of the shooting. Palmer
was at work for htm , and uslcod where ho
could get some rotten eggs. From some
words aroppod by Palmer ho concluded that
Palmer had been engaged in the egg-throw
ing the previous Saturday night. Ho
charged him with It , and Palmer admitted
it , further declaring that ho was going again
that night , or some night very soon. Ho
said that on Saturday night ho stood at the
corner of the house and when Holmick cumo
out ho picked up u piece of barrel or a board
and struck the house with it , scaring Hol
mick and making him run.
Ed Vickory testified that ho was the next
door neighbor to Holinlck. Ho had heard
numerous threats against Holmick and had
told Helmiclc to look out for himself. On
several occasions before the shooting he had
escorted Holmick homo , the two walking in
the middle of. the street so that they could
bettor ward oft any attack.
Mr. White , an elderly gentleman , had
hoard two men , Lawrence and Beggarly ,
talking on the street and Baying thut If Hcl-
inL'k uept on interfering in their business
there .would bo another Haddock case in
Neola. Ho told Mr. Holmick nnd advised
him to look out and to take to the middle ot
the ronu when going homo after dark.
On cross-examination ho testified that
Lawrence was not In the saloon business ,
but run a batcher shop. Ho hollovcd Heg-
g.irty was a saloon keeper. Ho did not know
when ho had kept n saloon , and while .ho
told Helmick that thcso threats wcra made
becaUHO of the shutting up of saloons , ho
did not hoar either of t ese men say the
word "saloon , " Tbo threats us hoard were
made a year or two before the shooting.
Mr. Pruitt testified that Palmer had fre
quently said that ho would fix Helmick aud
"do him up. "
Mr. Brulngton , ronortor of th ? district
court , was Introduced to show that some of
the baseball clubs of Noolu had expressed
throats against Helmick. The nearest ho
could swear to it was that they were talking
about some preacher , but Iho nauio could not
bo recalled by him.
C. T. Lovolund testified that during the
two years previous to the shooting ho had
hoard numerous throats against Holinlck and
had told Holmick about them. Ho hud ad
vised Holmick to go prepared.
J , L. Osborno tried to testify as to a con
versation had with Holmick on the Sunday
previous to the shooting , but got ruled out
by objections on the part of tbo state.
Father Schlffmaehor , a Catholio priest at
Neola , who has shown much friendliness to
tbo defendant in this affair , testified us to
Helmick's character.
H. T. Lovoll had heard numerous throats
nnd had told Holinlck to look out for him
self , for ho would got hurt when ho was
not looking far it.
J. W. Hamilton testified to throats made
by Palmer. Ho told Helmick that ho had
bettor take euro or ho would got hurt. The
night of the shooting was very dark.
tionr.v Butler swore that last summer ho
hoard Holinlck and Palmer having a wordy
controversy on the street. Holmlclc declined
Palmer's invitation to a fight , and no blows
were struck.
James Hunter had hcartl Palmer make
threats that ho would get oven with Hel
mick , and would do him up If ho got a
chance. Ho also testified as to the night of
the shooting being very dark.
Lloyd Smith had heard John Lawrence
say that Holmlek had bettor bo uaroful or
they would make another Haddock of him.
Smith told Holmlok about this , though not
till nearly a your aftur ho heard it , and
about n month before the shooting.
Nathan Crlssuiun was next called , do
married Palmer's lister , and was tbo ono
who wrote a note to Holmick urging him to
advlso the Porter family of Palmer's bad
character , and help break off the expected
engagement of Palmer to Miss Portor.
Palmer came to see the witness about this
letter , and at that time was armed with n
revolver.
The letter was offered In evidence , but the
Judge held the proffer undur advisement.
Mr. Portnr , Hying near Ncola , testified as
tothioaU totha effeci. that if Helmick did
not lii-oii his d d mouth shutthoro would
bo another Haddock. Ho told Holulck , and
advised him to go prepared. The night of
the shooting was HO dark that ono could not
sou a man live foot away. On cross-oxauiln-
atlon ho admitted that ho had not heard the
threats directly , but they had been told him
by gibers.
FROM THE STATE CAPITAL ,
Van Wyck and Bicharda Visit

AN INTERESTING QUESTION.
A Nut for the StateIJonnl of Trans

(
n Runaway Capitol
Items.
LINCOLN , Neb. , March 7. [ Special to Tun
But : . ] The Capital hotel , the best known
political resort In the state , was the scene of
unusual excitement last night. Ex-Senator
Von Wyck and Hon. L. D. Klchards of l''ro-
mont , chairman of the republican st ate cen
tral committee , were conspicuous figures In
Its corridors. It was talked on the streets
that these distinguished gentlemen wore In
the city , and small-fry politicians of moment
soon danced attendance. The word had
gene forth that something was up. The
bearing of the gentlemen , however , Indi
cated notnlngof the kind ,
"What's up , general I" queried Tun BKE
representative approaching the cx-sonutor.
"Nothing at all , " ho rospondod. "I had a
llttlo private business to look after and
dropped into the city without any not'cc. ' "
"Your happening hero with Chairman
Klchards Is a political accident , then I"
"Certainly. I disliked coming up on the
morning train nnd took the oycnlng train
that I might otijoy my usual rest. "
"Your visit has nothing to do with politics ,
then ! "
"Not nt all. not at nil. I will say , however ,
that I would bo pleased to see an honest , con
sistent administration of affairs , n state hoard
of transportation and a state legislature that
would do something that would materially
benefit iho great mass of the people of the
stato. I would like tn eco local Interests
looked after us they should bo during the
coming year. It should bo remembered for
once that thcro uro no grave national Inter
ests nt stake In which wo as ft people or u
state can take a part with any assurance that
wo can accomplish anything. Local Interests
should bo clearly defined und the coming
fight should bo on the line of state control of
corporations. Lot the people have an oppor
tunity to suy whether or not the state should
rule the corporations or the corporations tha
stato. I have faith in the people and they
will assert thomsclvus If a job is not put up
on them at the primaries. "
Mr. Htchards was non-committal as to the
object of his visit.
The opinion prevails throughout the capi
tal , however , that ho is after the governor
ship , and that Ills-visit at this time had solely
to do with his canvass.
AN IMPOHTAST QUEUY.
Stephens Brothers of Ellis , Gage county ,
live stock , coal and lumber dealers , query
the state board of transportation as follows :
"Aro railroad companies obliged to fur
nish their own cars , when they have plenty ,
to bo loaded with grain for points not on
their own line of roadi For instance , wo
wish to ship seven carloads of corn to Car-
rolltowii , III. , ever the Hock Island , Chicago
& Alton , nnd this company will not allow us
to load their own cars for this point , and toll
us that wo must wait until wo can get Chicago
cage & Alton cars. This compels us to cancel -
col a good sale and means [ quite a damage to
u . Now , wo wish to know if wo can lo
gaily compel the Hock Inland to furnish their
own oars , or even foreign curs , when they
hava their own on hand for such points ) " t
The board of transportation reserves an
swer for u day or two.

cause her mother wus too poor to provide for
her and that ArohioDuncan , her husband's
brother , insisted upon marrying hor.
