tt'AIl ON THIS HILI/TOP.
An Attorney AroiweH tlio AVrntli of
Court Cleric Moores.
District Court Clerk Frank K. Moores Is a
victim of the gout nnd usually carries n cane
to support his tottering footstep ? , but if any
one had seen him yesterday afternoon they
would have sworn ho was a young athlete.
An attorney of the city was in the clerk's
oflleo yesterday afternoon looking for some
lilos in order to SJttlo' up the costs in a
certain case , but the Hies were nowhere to
bo found.
This rather nettled Mr. Moores , ns it is
Btrictly against the rules of the oflleo to take
.files nway.
At this moment Mr. Hcaley , an attorney of
the city , came strolling into the oflleo. Mr.
Moores asked him when ho was going to
bring back the Hies in a certain case.
Mr Hcaloy replied that ho had permission
from the court to take the liles away.
The clerk retorted that the permission had
expired long ago , and ho wanted the files and
proposed to have them If ho had to send u
bailiff after them.
This made Mr. Healey rather warm under
the collar nnd ho protested against being
"called down" before a crowd.
A torrid argument ensued until Clerk
Iiloorcs lost his temper and said that Healey
was "a little runt" and "had been sat down
upon two or three times by the court. "
"You're a llarl" exclaimed Mr. Healey ,
eliding towards the door.
The way the venerable clerk climbed around
Ids desk and out of the gate towards Hcaley
was a caution. Ho literally ilew. So did
Iloalcy.
Mr. Meores caught him nt the door leading
Into the hall nnd muclo n crack at him. but
Ilealoy dodged , and jumped over the railing
urounil the skylight with the clerk close bo-
hlnd. Hcaloy jumped astride the balustrade
lending down stall's and went down like a
Btreak of greased lightning.
Plaintiff Hunt was sitting on thostono
steps outside the door nnd as Ilealoy How
past ho thought ho had been struck by n cy
clone. Ho commenced calling , "como Into
court , como into court , " but Ilealoy was
down to Sixteenth street before ho got the
words out of his mouth.
Clerk Moores returned to his oflleo mid
smoothed down his wrinkled front , announc
ing that ho was ready for the next , but no
ono was anxious to court death , by ac
cepting his challenge.
Another "Wife Bout or.
P. L. Keeves , living in Clifton Hill , lost
pight established the fact that ho is a bad
aimn. Upon returning to his homo ho became
angry because his wife had not prepared n
tipier | to suit his fancy , nnd nfter breaking
the dishes nnd overturning the table ho
'threatened to kill the woman by choking her
to death , or at least this is the story she tells.
Ituovos was arrested on this charge and will
bo tried this morning.
Given Up by HiH Father.
"Chuck" McNumara under bonds
, to an
swer to a charge of robbing Albert Ritchie
while they were on a drunk , was Sunday
turned over to the county authorities by his
father , who was on his bond. The older Mc-
Nauwra was evidently uiraiil that his son in
tended leaving Him in the lurch , as ho had
him arrested on n charge of abusing his
mother , and withdrew the charge and
bad him turned over to the county authori
ties on the charge of robbing Uitehio.
Locked Up on Suspicion.
Albert Frelrch wishes ho had been poor In-
Hle.id of rich , Yesterday afternoon ho ar
rived In the city , claiming to hall from Now
York. Ho had several thousand dollars of
European bonds , which ho tried to dispose of
about the city. The detectives got onto the
fact , and Frelrch was Immediately locked
up , charged with being u suspicious char
acter.

I'arty's Policy.
W.isur.voTov , D. C. , Juno 10. In the senate
ate a message from the house asking for a
further conference on the null-trust bill was
assented to after remarlcs by Messrs. Ed
munds nnd Vest.
The deficiency appropriation bill for pen
sions and the census waa reported ami
passed.
Mr. Dawes introduced a bill to retire Gen
eral Banks as a major of the United States
army. Keferrcd to the committee on military
affairs.
The house silver bill was taken up and Mr.
Daniel resumed the speech begun by him
Friday. In concluding his speech Mr. Daniel
said that the world moved , and that this was
a land of progress had never been better
domonsorated than by the fact that the great
leader of the republican financial policy
in the United States ( alluding to Senator
Sherman ) , who hud can-led the stnglo gold
standard over two continents , had come for
ward in his speech and lain down at the feet
of the double standard nnd proclaimed that
lie was , at last , an advocate of silver money.
Mr. Allison next addressed the senate. Ho
said ho should vote for the house bill as
amended by the senate linanco committee , as
ho considered it the wisest and best solution
of the question. The question to bo con
sidered was what currency could bo safely
substituted for national bank circulation. The
Judgment of the linanco committee was ( and
he thought it would be the Judgment of the
senate ) that if the government , Issued paper
money it should issue It ou something that
was In and of itself convertible into
legal tender money. Therefore the bill
proceeded on the idea that whatever paoer
money should bo issued on silver bullion pur
chased by the government ut the market
price. Why baa silver bullion boon selected
as a basis for that new paper money ? It was
because the public mind rested in the belief
that sooner or later silver bullion would bo
coined and become part of the metallic cur
rency , It was on that basis he would vote
for tlio bill. It was on that biisis he was will
ing that the coinage of silver dollars , as now
provided for , should ceiLse. Then- were people
ple who believed the coined dollars in the
treasury would be useless and that it was
wise public policy to cease that coinage. He
for ono did not share- that belief. He believed
it was Just as well to continue them
to the utmost limit of 4,000,000 a
month. But there was a largo public
op'nion against that view , and therefore ho
consented that the bullion should be left in
the treasury uncoined. Ho did that more
readily for the reason that ho believed
sooner or later tlio United States would have
to change the number of grains of silver in a
dollar , and therefore the dollars now coined
would bo recoined. Ho was , therefore , will
ing that the bullion should lie in the treasury
until it was known whether there would bean
an international agreement ns to ratio. It
was true that the pending bill provided that
the bullion in the treasury .should bo coined
for the redemption of treasury notes. What
ever might be the opinion of other settlers in
that respect , ho did not labor under the delu
sion that in the near future , under tlio pro
visions of the house bill or the senate bill ,
any additional dollars would bo issued.
There were now moro than ! iOO,00,000 ( )
coined dollars in the treasury njjaiust which
silver certificates were issued , so , although
those dollars belonged to Uie holders of cer
tificates , the certificates were payable for
public dues , and when they were received
into the treasury they belonged to the gov
ernment of the United States. So the gov
ernment would always have a working bal
ance sufficient to redeem those treasury notes.
He believed the only safe way to rehabilitate
silver was to secure a concurrent agreement
among nations whereby they would open
their mints concurrently to the free coinage
of silver at an agreed ratio. So believing , ho
was willing to go on as they were going on
( tentatively us it were ) with n pro
vision for the use of silver pending
negotiations that ought to bo hud for the res
toration of silver on some agreed ratio by the
nations of the world. In supporting the bill
ho supported it on the basis of the idea that
the government of iho United States would
use us power in endeavoring to secure an
agreement whereby all the commercial na
tions of the world would use silver as gold
was now used nt a ratio to bo agreed upon.
Ho regarded the pending measure and the
unanimity with which It was supported as a
complete Justification of tlio legislation of
18TS , which contemplated a minimum monthly
coinage of 7OOU,1K)0 ) silver dollars und a maxi
mum of-1,000,000 , Ho was for the full and
complete restoration of silver ns ono of the
coin metals of the world , and was willing to
do whatever ho could do to promote that most
itesirablo object. Ho could not vote for the
free coinage of silver at this
tlmo or any tlrao In the near future.
Ho could not do so until every
effort to secure the use of silver by the com
mercial nations of the world was exhausted.
Mr. Vest commented upon the remarks of
Mr. Allison as to the "now-born zeal" of the
democratic senators in the cause of free coinage -
ago ot silver , and made n statement to show
that it had always been the democratic policy.
If the democratic party said nothing on the
silver question in its platform of 1SSS it was
not because It had receded from the position
it always held. It was because President
Cleveland was an eastern man , u New York
man , who did not sympathize with the major
ity of Ills party on that question. Cleveland
hud como to the presidency imbued with the
prejudices of New York bunks , nnd was in
one sense ( IH far as his opinion on silver
was concerned ) n sectional man. Ho
had reason to believe now that Mr.
Cleveland was better Informed on thosubjoct.
Mr. Vest declared that on the silver question
them was no middle ground. Silver must bo
put on the siiuiM basis as gold.
Messrs. Ingiills and Wolcott expressed a
desire to address the senate tomorrow on the
silver bill.

The board of education was out In force
last night , the only absentees being Messrs.

The secretary reiwrtcd that applications
for the position of superintendent of the
schools had been received from J. C. Barnes ,
Marietta , O. ; Frank J. Barnes , Middle ton ,

N. Y. ; W. L. MacGowan , Clean , N. Y. ;
K. Berrlgan , Mllnor , N. D. ; George J. Mc-
Amlrow , N'ow Haven , Conn. The communi
cation was referred to the committee on
teachers.
A resolution by Dr. Savlllc authorized the
special committee on exhibits to prepare an
exhibit for the St. Paul National Educational
association convention.
The challenge of the council to piny a game
of ball for the benefit of the Creche was ac
cepted.
The report of the council committee on pub
lic projK-'rty and buildings , recommending the
sale to the board of a strip of land on the
north side of tbo Hickory school at mi ap
praised value , was referred to the committee
on buildings and property.
The Judiciary committee reported back the
petition of C. K. Squires asking that the
board sign a petition for p.iving Twenty-sec
end street In the rear of the high school with
usphaltum , witu the recommendation that It
bo refused.
Mr. Popplcton stated that the committee
was of the opinion that the board did not own
the high school ground and they should tnko
n stand nt once and refuse to pay for any Im
provements about the grounds , The report
was adopted.
Mr. Points sprung the teacher question by
moving that when tlio board adjourned It bo
until the last Saturday in the month , when
the selection of teachers should bo mudo the
special order.
Mr. Wehrer questioned the right of the old
board to saddle a lot of teachers on the now
board. Ho thought the now board should
elect their own subordinates.
Dr. Savillc wanted a chance to vote for the
last tlmo for some of his favorites.
Mr. Popplcton thought It was wrong to
leave the teachers in suspense. Ho said last
year a number of Incompetent teachers hud
been elected , and the plea was made that
they hud waited around and last their chunco
of getting other places , nnd ho proposed to
sco that no such excuse could bo inado this
tlmo.
tlmo.Mr.
Mr. Wehrer made a spread eagle speech to
the effect that the board could got all the
teachers It wanted ut any tlmo , and ho was
opposed to electing them in the old board.
Mr. Ilees said ho had nlw.'i3's held that the
election of teachers by the old board would
not stand if anyone wanted to test it.
Mr. Points argued in favor of having the
new board elect its own teachers.
Mr. Hobison thought the board had
the power to elect teachers at nny
time. The board would lose its best
teachers by putting off the election , as
the teachers would accept other offers rather
jlian wait and take their chances Of being
re-elected.
\Velirersaldthat If the old board at
tempted to elect teachers , ho would go Into
the court and enjoin the board.
At the request of several members Mr.
Points changed his motion to provide that
board adjourn until the last Saturday in the
month to receive the report of the committee
on teachers.
Mr. II. T. Clarke got in his usual Kick and
insisted on an adjournment without any
special order of business. The motion was
changed and carried.
Thu committee on supplies submitted esti
mates for expenditures for the coming year
amounting to $ : t7,25. : ! This included fuel ,
furniture , fixtures , books , stationery , sup
plies and printing. Keferrod to the linanco
committee.
The committee on claims submitted claims
amounting to $ ,518.85 , $1-100 of which was for
election purposes.
Mr. Wehrcr raised the question of whether
the board should pay the election expenses of
the last election. The mayor had appointed
the Judges and clerks and the city should pay
them.
The attorney of the board was of the opin
ion that the board should pay the bill.
The report of the committee was earned
and the bills ordered paid.
The committee on finance presented Its re
port of expenses for the ensuing year , amount
ing to W.Ki.OOO. Tills included the probaula
cost of paving Twenty-second street along the
liigh school and stone walks around the
grounds.
Mr. Popplctlonobjected on thesamo ground
that he Imu objected to the petition of Squires
for asphalt.
Tlio report was referred back to the coui-
mitteo for further action.
The finance committee mturned the report
at once with these two items stricken out ,
making the amount iS OOO.
Mr. Popplcton moved to recommit with
instructions to recommend to the council that
the full levy of 20 mills bo made , as , if prohi
bition carried , the board would have to go
into debt about $ ! 00,000 , nnd ho thought the
board had better get the full amount of tbo
levy in order to bo provided.
The report was recommended with such In
struction.
On motion of Mr. TZccs the judiciary com
mittee was instructed to demand of Mr.
Luther Drake of the Merchant's National
bank the deed to n portion of the Paul school
site , which ho holds in escrow , Mr. Harbach
having failed to carry out his contract , to
transfer to the board n strip of ground on ono
side of the school site fey a strip on another
sldo.
sldo.Dr.
Dr. Savillo presented a largo grist of reso
lutions. Ono provided that the Pleasant
school bo placed In proper repair to ac
commodate the incoming ninth grade pu
pils of that portion of the city ; this
grade and school to bo a part of the
high school , under direction of the superin
tendent and the principal of the high school.
This one was referred to the committees on
buildings and property and high school.
Another resolution provided that the presi
dent bo authorized to sign a petition for
asphalt or brick pavement in front of the
Long school on Franklin street. Laid on the
table.
The president nnd secretary were author
ized to draw warrants for the salaries of
teachers , Janitors , etc. , upon approval of the
committee on claims.
Dr. Spalding introduced a resolution to
make the school year thirty-six weeks in
stead of forty , as at present , beginning the
second Monday In September and observing
the usual vacations.
'J'ho doctor supported his resolution by say
ing that the pupils never settled down to
work in the fall until the second week , as the
weather was usually too warm and the same
reason held In the spring.
Mr. Points said the matter was a very Im
portant ono and should bo well considered.
Dr. Spalding said it was not his idea to
liave the board do any moro than recommend
the matter to the attention of the now board.
The matter was referred to the committee
on rules , forms and printing , and the board
adjourned until the lust Saturday in the
month. .

CmcAno , Juno 10. [ Special Telegram to
THK JUKI : . ] Tlio rnta of $18 inado between
St. Louis and Denver by the Missouri Pacific
caused a big commotion in today's meeting of
thooWestorn Passenger association. The
Atchlson , Alton and Burlington all applies for
permission to moot the St. Louts rate making
$31 rutu from Chicago and from the spirit
manifested there will bo further trouble before -
fore the standard rate of $33.05 from Chicago
to Denver Is restored.
It was charged that the Atchlson was fur
nishing sleeping car accommodations free In
order to meet the reduction , but the report
was denied by that lino.
The Missouri Pnclllo was not repre
sented In today's' meeting and it como
In for a largo share of criticism which
might otherwise have bcoii somewhat cur
tailed. Notice was given that a meeting ol
the Trans-Missouri passenger association
would bo held Thursday In Kansas City , at
which time the organization will l > o wound
up and merged i-ito the Western Passenger
association.
Some ot the Missouri river lines have boon
cutting p-rain rates the last few days In n way
to remind one of old times. A grain buyer
named Peevey is buying grain in Kansas and
Nebraska on the line of the Union Pacitlo
nnd shipping by various lines to
Chicago. Ho buys at a price which would
make him lose 5 to 7 cents a hundred on a
Chicago maritot. Conveniently some of the
lines arc cutting rates to that extent nnd us
the maximum rate has boon iixed at 23 cents
tlio cut is a serious ono.
The Burlington today gave notice that on
Juno 13 ! it would advance the cattle rate
from Kansas City to Chicago to IS cents , the
present rate being 12 > f cents. This is done
in order to protect its local rates. Com
plaints are being made that discrimination is
practiced in charging ! 20 cents on cattle from
Iowa and only 1V ! ! .rents from Kansas City.
The lines interested claim the Kansas City
rate is a temporary one , but Iowa shippers
nro becoming restive under the discrimina
tion and promise to make trouble.

Lieutenant John P. Wissorfiu an able ,
well-considered paper in the "United
Service , " points out that "our own drjll-
boolc in use at present in the regular
irmy and the militial assumes a battle
; actic that belongs to the year 1805 , that
is after our war and before the war of
1800. "
Since then everything in war has been
changed says the Philadelphia , Press ,
[ n our drill-book nothing is changed. If
war comes , everything in the way of
moving men up to attack must bo un
earned and learned again in the Hold.
The misery of our present service is that
the lieutenants see this. The generals
do not. The latter have more to any
ibout the matter , but know le s , and so
the way is made ready to bogiu the next
war by paying tuition in crushing do-
'oat , until a now lesson is learned.
The long , thin , extended line for at
tack is over with. The movements
which lead up to it at the crisis of a bat-
, lo are not what is now most wanted.

N , la. , Juno 1ft. [ Special Telegram
to TUB HUB. ] The Creston city guarantee
waterworks company have had hard sailing
ot late. The company , which Is composed of
Hegan Brothers , W. 11. Vnughaii , ar. , and W.
H. Vaughan , Jr. , of Omaha , have succeeded
admirably In getting the material on the
ground and the works started , and la spite
of many annoyances have succeeded in laying
about six miles of pipe in tlio city , as well ns
sinking two or three largo wells. A few
days ago attachment suits were brought
in the superior court against the com
pany by John Gibbon , president of
the Iowa state savings bank , to
satisfy a claim of about ? IIXM of money ad
vanced the company. Mr. Gibson has pos-
sessiftn of the plM | not yet laid , and has also
purchased n claim of the Cleveland plpo
works company , amounting to about $1 tf > uo.
Unless tlio water works company can re
deem these claims a new local company will ,
It is said , bo organized and the worlcs bo com
pleted by them.
"Wo consider the attachment unjust , " said
Mr. Hegan to a linn rcmvacntativo today ,
"because the debts of J. C. Kegan it Co.
have no connection with those of the CrcsUm
City guarantee water works company , which
is a corporation and is not liable for the debts
of individuals. Judge Aylc.worth of Council
Bluffs , our attorney , is now preparing the
papers for a damage suit against tlio parties
who attached the material. Wo came here in
good faith and expect to finish constructing
the system. "
Today was the llrst monthly pay day of the
*
company , and in spite of the rumors to the
contrary they pay all help and other bills
promptly. All work is going forward except
laying pipe , and that will necessarily be de
layed by the attachment suits. The company
has not vet been advised bv its attorney as to
the line of action he will take , but Mr. Kegan
gives It its his opinion thntn replevin suit will
be begun nt once for the recovery of the at
tached material.
Jndio Shims' Decision.
Dns MOINI : * , la. , Juno 10. [ Special Tele
gram to Tin : Bic.l : The decision of Judge
Shiras in the Dos Moines river land case has
been received hero by Attorney General
Stone. Avho represented the government and
the settlers. The attorney general nfter a
-careful reading of tlio decision , says thai
while it is technically in favor of the de
fendants it will no doubt result in securing
indemnity to the settlers , to bo applied in the
purchase of their homes. Judge Shims rec
ommends that some sue.li action bo now taken
by congress , and in tbo attorney general's
opinion itcan hardlv be doubled now that the
settlers will at last get Justice. Attorney
General btone's showing was that the featnivs
of this case hud never before been presented
to the court , hencu the former decisions were
not nnplicublo. On this point Judge Shlrns
holds that while there is much foundation for
this claim , yut he is precluded from giving a
construction to tho-to nets other or different
from that announced by this supreme court.
If any modification of these ruliugs is to be
made it can only bo made by the supivmu
court. As to the equities of the settlers ,
Judge Shiras says the obligation resting upon
the United States is not a matter of senti
ment based solely upon sympathy for the .set
tlers. Many of them have paid the United
States foi- the lands held bv them and bolil
patents issued by ttie United States. It now
appears that the government , through con
gress , granted away thivso lands and the title
is lield to bo only waste paper. Tlio wrong
thus caused can only bo remedied bj the
United States securing tUo title bv purchas
ing the power , to do which resides in con
gress nlouo.
Settlers Almndon Mope.
FORT Down : , la. , Juno 10. [ Special Tele
gram to Tin : Bcc.J The news of Judge
Shiras' adverse decision in the river land case
was a great shock to the settlers , who will
lese their homes by it. Many of them still
hope for a reversal by tlio United States supreme
premo court , while others have given up hopu
and are talking of going to Dakota to begin
the work of homo making nil over again.
There has been some fear that settlers still in
possession of the lands would bo evicted at
once , but the Litchlields say nothing in this
line will 1)0 ) done until the supreme court con
firms Judge Shiras' decision.

doubted thin , and Mr. Duggnn was taken
to the bank and compelled to show his
books and his cash. After figuring for
about two hours a committee found that
there was money enough to pay every
depostor $ ! . ! " on the dollar , and It was.
accordingly passed out nnd Iho lunik
wound up shlp-shapo fashion. It waa no
failure , but simply wring out < jf business.
Mr. Unggan had calculated on a lilllo

Tim Great Navy or CJrcat Britain.
A displacement of 1U)00 ( ) tons and \ .

is completed the British navy will bo
larger than it has been since ISl.'t , pos
sessing < r > 78 cruisers. This seems a Inrjji-
number of shops , but it must be remem
bered that the steam tonnage of ( ireal
Britain's mercantile marine equals that

and that for every ship of war having
fourteen knots' speed now in the British
