Ho made a thorough luvcstillittlon and was highly pleased with the arrangement of the force and apparatus , and the personnel of the coin- panics. It is barely possible that his favora ble report will' result In lower Insurance rates for next year. Miss Lawless appeared as the plaintiff in In an attachment suit in Justlco Bnrnctt's court yesterday. She has been conducting a boarding house In the southern part of the city and bus boarded Contractor M. II. King and a lot of his teamsters while they wore working ; on the Indian creek ditch. A board bill to the amount of J100 had not been settled and Mrs. Lawlcr attached twenty of King's scrapers. King Is the contractor who built the government building in this city. Kdltor Edwards of Dubuque , who pub lished such a substantial article concerning the school squabble In Council Bluffs , makes a full and complete retraction in the last is sue of his educational monthly. Ho says ho was misinformed and hence hastens to apolo gize to Messrs. Wells , Schoentgen nnd Stev ens , who were the special objects of abuse la the obnoxious article. The summing up of the whole matter is thus stated : "All charges made against them by this journal were unfounded , nnd wholly undeserved. The gentlemen who have unjustly suffered by the article appear to bo sntilled with the apology , nnd the matter will doubtless now bo dropped. Attorney John Lindt raised an interesting question in the uollco court yesterday. It is of some Interest to the unfortunates who dally pass under the rod of Judge McOco , but it is of more personal Importance to the city marshal and the police lorco. Chris Mardls was arrested for intoxication. Ac had f 12 in his pocitot when bearchod at the city buildIng - ' Ing , and the officer felt pretty sure of'collcct- ing the fine that might bo assessed. Mardls concluded that he was , not drunk and engaged the services of Colonel Lindt. It required live or six witnesses to prove that ho had taken something moro than a simple medicine for catarrh , nnd that a bottle half filled with whisky found In his possession when ar rested had not been prescribed by n physician in Mlnncola for hay fever , as Mardls alleged. Judge McGee considered the evidence suftlclcnt and assessed a fine of $10 and osts. The amount of the line was counted out of the pile in the hands of the marshal and paid Into the city treasury , and then Colonel Limit objected to the payment of the rests , which amounted to several dollars. The ofllccrs refused to apply the money paid in to the payment of the line , and main tained that the costs should bo paid ilrst. 11 Lindt refused to accede to It and the officers refused to glvo Mardls his liberty. The matter - . . tor was referred to the Jutlgo and ho per- " mlttcd the victim to go nnd took the propo sition under consideration. Lindt claims that his proposition is impregnable and says ho will not back down. If ho should bo sus tained it will give the police court victims another advantage that will prove even more popular than the practice of appealing case.

Johnny Must Bring III * Drum In Court Sol/Inn Atkln's Stock or Goods Sparring for Points- Minor Mention. Justlco Ilcndrlcks was yesterday listening o the case of the Lake Manawa railway company ngalnst F. O. Qlcason. It was tipulatcd that llko vases against John dim- en , F. Lovlne , J. 1'almor and J. It ! . Hark- icsj should bo subject to the same decision vhlch should bo rendered In the case on trial , he evidence and law questions being about ho same lu all the cases. Thcsu suits were brought to enforce the payment of amounts subscribed to the MannwJi enterprise. When the subscription paper was first passed around the signers subscribed certain amounts for which they were to receive stock n the company. Later It was decided by -hoso then in charge of the company that this ncihod would not result in securing the en terprise , and that subscriptions should bo tnkcn only in the form of donations. Sub scribers were seen and asked to agrco to tills now amiugaincnt , nnd certain represen tations wcro made as to when the oad was to bo completed and In operation. Some agreed to the change from stock sub scription to donation , and s > omo , in fact most of these who paid anything , paid one-half the amount subscribed. The rood was not com- > leted for. a year or moro after the date verbally agreed upon , and many refused to pay the rest of the subscription. Now suits ire being brought to enforce the payment , there being many who ore .still refusing. The decision ot these cases will probably decide nil the others. Colonel Heed , who now owns .ho road , claims to have been an innocent mrchnscr of this subscription list , and that .heroi'oro ho should recover. It is claimed .hat the original subscription list is a con- .ract , which , with the change made later Tom stock to donation , is complete in Itself , nul that the question of the tlmo of com- ilction Is not an essence of this contract. -1'iio defendant claims that tholnttcr nrrango- ncnt was u ne\v contract , annulling tho.old mil written one , and that the new contract , which was verbal , was annulled by the fail ure of the company to construct the roads iromlscd at that time. Justlej Hendrlcks is taking the case under advisement. The Grrui test Offer of the llHh Century At the book department of the Boston store , b'othi'rlngham , Whltelaw ft Co. , Council Bluffs , In.

A boxing match that had been liberally ad vertised took plac-Q nt Armour's hall , a well known heiidquartors for bucolio sport ; situated about twelve miles northeast ol Council Bluffs. About forty well known sports from Council Bluffs and Omaha took carriages and drove out to the scono. Upon arriving at the place a big crowd was found atTtho ground , the contest having" boon well advertised in that plrt ; of the country. Before the real contest came off tuero were sovcr.il bouts between country lads , who are pupils of Jack Torry. After agreeing as to referee , Union , etc. , the two contestants stepped Inti the ring. The unknown from this city cam < to the scratch nt 100 pound * , whllo Tcrrj tipped the beam at ISo.

Both men workei hard , maldng n line contest. At the close o the sixth round the battle was declared i draxr , but it is the opinion of those who wit nesscd It , and who are good judges , that thi unknown was entitled'to the contest. Neltho was badly punished. The sports returned t ( the city nt 1 o'clock , apparently well satisllei With the result.

M.'lio day before the failure was an nounced Atkins executed a chattel mortgng to Peterson to cover a claim for $ tXX ) , and it was this mortgage that attracted the atten tion of other creditors and caused them to close in upon the stock.

TljoTony Frank murder trial dragged Its weary way along in Judge Clarkson's court inttl 5 o'clock hut , evening , who n an ad- ournmcnt was taken until tomorrow morn * ng , the jury bslng Instructed notto road any- .hlng pertaining to the caso. Today the -welvo men will bo locked in their room in the court house. The testimony Introduced ycstorday devel oped nothing now and was practically the same ns that given at the former trial. The case will drag along towards the last of this week , as the state has yet twelve witnesses : o put on the stand , while the defense will take the testimony of nt least llfteen , mostot whom will testify to Tony Frank's good character. Just bo fora adjournment lust light Frank's attorneys asked that the Jury ; > o taken to the scene of the murder , that , t might examine the premises. They asked hat the trip bo made today. The statcs's attorney was on his feet In nn Instant nnd opposed a Sunday * [ .rip , saying : "I have no objection to the ury visltlnp1 the scene of the homicide , but shall oppose a Sunday trip , ns I do not want such a question to be brought up should an appeal bo taken. There is another reason , " said ho. "I think the expense would bo too great to Justify the movement , unless the de fense cares to hire seine of the teams that would bo required to take tbo jury to Elk- horn. I also wu.it It understood that no part of this trial shall take place on Sunday , " Judge Clarkson held with the prosecution , tnd snld : "I think I shall refuse ; , as such a long trip would bo too expensive. " The defense took exceptions to the court's ruling and will go to the supreme court on this point should the Jury return a verdict of guilty. In the equity court Judge Wakclcy handed down the following decisions : Scholler vs West furniture company Held that in case of a sale of personal property on in agreement that the title shall remain in uho vender until the property Is paid for , the transaction Is not a mortgage but n condi tional sale ; nnd nn action cannot bo main- valued for a penalty for refusal to release the vender's claim on the records ot the county register.

The committee on rules of the board of enuration should have met last night to con sider proposed changes In the rules , but as only u part of the committee responded to the call , these who did attend simply held nn in formal talk upon the matter of grading the salaries of principals nnd teachers and then adjourned to meet some evening this week. Mr. Babcock Is decidedly opposed to the custom of increasing the salary of the princi pals every time another room is added to the building over which they have charge. Ho thinks them should bo a limit ut which the salary of a principal must stop , and Instead of having some principals superintend from sixteen to twenty rooms and draw very largo salaries , ho would have the work of the principals made as nearly equal ns possible nnd their pay in proportion. Where there nro moro rooms In a district than ono principal should bo asked to super intend , ho would glvo the principal the maxi mum number of rooms and have competent teachers take charge of tlto rest and report direct to the superintendent of schools In stead of to the principal. There will probably bo some effort made also to do it way with the ' 0011111111100 on boun daries , and place that work in the hands of the superintendent , ns It used to bo. The committee on boundaries has found the worlc very unsatisfactory and laborious , but some members of the board nro still In favor of keeping the committed on boundaries. They claim that , although It Is attended by a great amount of work , much hotter results are at tained In this way than by'leaving the mat ter to the superintendent. Another Hold-Up. Lewis Jones and Frank Bush wcro ar rested last night on the charge of holding up Pat Hoach , who lives at 2-.1-0 Charles street. According to Roach's story , he was met near his homo by Jones and Bush shortly after 10 o'clock last night and ordered to throw up his hands. They then went through his pockets , but only secured 42 cents. Roach kept tbo men In sight and tallowed them into the Coliseum , where ho pointed them out to Officer Haze , who made the arrest .

Another week of this delightful weather will place December ou the list as a prominent cycling month , Chicaeo has twcnty.ono cyelo clubs nnd they have distinctive colors and all nro in a nourishing condition. Omnha has but two , crcdltnblo affairs , both of them , however. A. Halifax has patented nn "Ico cycle. " The machine has two runners driven by n rear wheel with a spiked tiro. The working gear is similar to that of an ordinary tricycle. The eastern clubs nro beginning to look forward to Iho ' 01 tournaments , nnd Hart ford , Conn. , has already decided to hold their annual races on September 8 nnd 0 of next year. Oscar Epenler Is In Suit Lalto City , hob nobbing with the Mormons and combining business with plo.isu.ra. IIo thinks of secur ing Amelia palace for the local blcyclo club If ho decides thero.

The boys took a spin to'thc Bluffs last Sun day afternoon and the scorchers were along as usual. There will probably bo n race between two of our amateur champions at the Coliseum in the near future. Fluschor has had his mustache taken off. It did not grow fast enough to suit Louie , so ho will give It n new start. A ball bearing tire Is the latest Invention In the bicycle world.

There is talk of the Apollos building a quarter mile track in the spring , with a club house on the grounds. That would bo an enterprise worth talking ubout. Many of tlio eastern amateur flyers have been suspended from the L. A. W. and many more will follow. Among the most promin ent are Windlo , Zimmerman , Vim Wagoner , Tuttle and Murphey.

Twenty-flvo couples assembled at the club house on Wednesday evening to celebrate Indies'night ' in a litting manner. Music and dancing wcro the order of the evening and all enjoyed the appetizing lunch and pleasing programme. A casual observer would think that this Is a rather late day to indulge in averse crit icism on the rulings of Hefereo ICastman in the recent blcylo race , especially wlion the monitor is so averse to newspaper contro versy.

This is an erroneous iaoa and should bo gotten rid of the sooner the quicker. Tnero are no good grounds for bad feeling on cither side , and really none exists , although some disgruntled patrons or both clubs would bo pleased to nuiito it appear so. These two growing clubs should bo on the best terms and work In harmony in furtherance of their mutual benefit and advancement. Hobort Gcrwlng , who recently , by consent , heat Jack Prince In a couple of blcyclo races races at Denver , is really quite n good one.

Ho Is the acknowledged champion of Colorado cither on tlio road or on the track having been the first man on each of the last two road races between the Denver Ha'mblers and Social Wheel club. He Is unmarried , Is also a printer by trailo , nnd Is as modest as ho is good hearted , which Is Haying lots.
