WILL PROBABLY CLOSE THE HOUSE , Alter a Career of One Yonr the Kirty-Sovcti Mcmbnrfl Decitlo to Quit the Field Im mediately , The Council Bluffs Thentnr company Is no nioro. A mooting ot the stockholders was held last evening' nt which It was decided to abandon the project of making Dohnny'a ' opera house Into a paying concern , and In all probability the house will jo buck into Mr. Uohany'u ' hands at onco. I'or some tlmo past there has been considerable growling ntnoug the members on account of the fact that monthly assessments of flO nor member wore called for. The company was orcanizoti nearly n year ago with a momber-itilr > of llfly-sovon , and the shares of stock were lixod at $100 each , payable whenever caiiod lor by tbo niannna- incnt. 'J'ho troupes booked by the old man- ( iRomunt wme inferior almost without ex ception , nnd consequently tno company was at a Kroat disadvantaijo until last September , when the now season opened and the com panies of Manager Smith's uooUintf came to the front. Hinco the opening of the season the patronage has boon good and the house had been almost put upon n firm p tying basis , when some of tlio members becnmo disgusted at not receiving dividends before their stock was paid up anil clamored for u dissolution. MniiAcor Stnith made a proposition to the company at its meeting lastevuning , in which ho agreed to resign his position if tlio mem bers utslied to cut clown the expenses. Jt was decided to accept the proposition and an oxtia month's salary was voted him ns a bert of expression of good fooling. A conference was had between the members of the oxoctl- two committee and Mr. Donany a day or two ago , in tin1 course of which the latter stated that ho would not take back tlio hoiibo but would hold tlio company to its contr.ict until the end of the yo.tr. Last night It was voted to olTor him the house , and if ho rc- fiiscd to talio it back to oloso it up for the rest of the season. It Is hardly lilcoly that ho will submit to seeing the house closed en tirely and the companies which have been booked will probably bo played under Doha- uy's management. It is to bo regretted , that the dissolution of tlio company at tbo present stage has been found necessary. Manager Smith has ful- Jlllod the duties of his petition most success fully , and has mailo the Uroailwtiy theater a popular stopping place for some of the host dramatic troupes in the country. Many com panies were induced to play in Council UlulTs that heretofore have shunneu it as thev would a pest house. ' Ho has decided to go into the hotel Dusincbs , and will loavu the city within the next month. DoWitts Little Enrty lasers ; only pillto cuioslelchoaaacho and roguuto thoo.'ivaU An Kvtraorilinnry Heeord. Secretary Jameson of the United States Miibonic Benevolent association , has jmt sent out the sixth and last as- sobsment for tlio year for death losses. This closes the year's business so far us expense to the members is concerned , and loaves the association in a condition that ib more than ordinarily interesting' to the members , the management and the public. It provides for the payment of the last death loss reported and loaves the company without a dollar of unpaid obli- triitions. This is so much bettor than the condition of ordinary benevolent and assessments associations as to at tract public Attention. Usually tlio last asbossmpnt pays the obligation's of the companies to within GO or ! )0 ) days of date , and when it is less than that it bo- conies extraordinary , but this breaks all previous records and leaves the Ma sonic association of Council Blurt's with out a peer in the whole world. There is nothing like it in the shape of insurance. With a membership of nearly K OOO and not a death loss reported and unpaid , is without a parallel in the whole annals of life insurance. The whole record of 1801 , now com pleted , shows the same marvelous ro- biilt , and places the company at uholicad , not only as the largest straight Masonic association in existence with the lowest death rate and the strongest Jinancially , but as giving tlio safest and cheapest in surance to its members. The entire cost of a full guaranteed policy of $ o,000 for the year was only $10. The wonderful growth of the guarantee fund during the year has swelled the grand total to up wards of $140,000 , which stands as a pledge for the payment of every asbcss- inont. This extraordinary result is duo solely to the incom parable plan upon which the association is based and the confidence the members of the Masonic fraternity In its management and its character. It is a mutter of more than local pride that Council Bluffs should have the largest association of its kind in the world. t * The ladies of Broadway Methodist Episcopal church will hold their "Car nival of the Seasons ' at Masonic Temple Friday , November 20.

Samuul Smith , a representative of a largo caMcm tobacco house , Is in tbo city and has been making qulto a stir among people who nru not acquainted with him on account of his close resemblance to i'rcsident Harrison. C. U. Luring , u former resident of Indianapolis , was well acquainted with President Harri son , having seen htm Almost dally for A nutnoor of years. Ho saw whixt ho supposed was bis old tlmo friend before him and rushed up to hlra , prepared to nsk for n federal appointment as soon ns be could make the conversation go in that di rection. He had hardly hold out his hand , however , when ho discovered his mistake , und the man before him was a knight of the grip instead of the head of the nation. Mr. Smith states that his ono great trial Is the fact that everyone who has over soon a pic ture of the president makes the same mlstnKo that Luring did , and it puts him to a great deal of Inconvenience at times.

For the past two weeks there has bcon trouble Drawing In the Johiibon faith euro mission , which until a day or two ago hold forth at lils Broadway. . Mr. and MM. .lohnson started their mis sion in this city a number of months ago In n vacant room on Fourth street not far from Hroadway. Subsequently they moved to the room on Upper 13roauway , where they have been over since. A few weeks ngo the woric- ing force of the mission was increased dy tlio addition of John Phillips , who is wcH known In the city. Phillips took a gieat deal of interest In the mission , anil finally look so prominent u part in all the meetings that Mr and Mrs. Johnbon woto to n certain extent fro/on out. About two weeks ago Mrs. Johnson learned that Phillips had been circulating stories derogatory to her character , und among other thincs hail told a number of misitiois men that she and Johnson were not realty married , and that ho bad been ( juotuig Mrs. Johnson herself as the authority for the truth of these stories. At , llrst she paid no attention to thorn , but a few Uys ago the Johnsons were nottlled by the owner of the building where the meetings woio held , that the house had boon rented to other parties , and they would have to leave. The reason , as stated by the landlord , was that ho did not care to have people aroun I who were made the subject of so many remarks. Mr. and Mrb. Jonnson thougnt it was tnno they were doing something to keep up their repu tation , ami laid for Phillips accordingly. Yesterday afternoon Phillips was notified that his presence was desired at the olllco of K. 1' . Olllcer on North Main street. When ho reached the place ho found himself con- ironted oy Mrs. Johnson and several other ladies , who were prepared to make him eat his own words. Ho wanted to leave , but was told that unless ho teed the mark and ollhor owned that ho had lied or proved that no had told the truth , the city marshal would bo sent for to take him into cus tody. Ho wisely concluded it was the best thing ho could do to make a clean breast of the whole thing , rather than be arrested. It is stated by an eye wit ness to the altair that ho admitted that ho had sail ! what was not true , and implored the forgiveness of Mrs. Johnson. Mr. John son , In the meantime , was standing outside the door , waiting to render his wife anv as sistance that might bo needed. Mrs. John son's marriage cortllicato was then exhibited to the audience , and read aloud , after which Phillips was allowed to depart In a very crestfallen condition. It is sineo learned that Phillips himself nas rented the room formerly occupied by the Johnsons , and has started a mission of his own , called the "liolping Hand. " The faith euro mission is shut iip for the present , but will bo opened in a snort time. How Colds are Curetl in the South. W. J.

Of Interest to L'roliibltlonlHts , Dis : MOINTA la. , Nov. 10. [ Special Tele gram to'I'm : Br.i.J : Judge Conr.id of the dis trict court yesterday listened to arguments in the case of the application of .1. A. Harvey of tno State Temperance alliance for a writ of mandamus to compel the secretary of btato to certify to him a certllled copy of the con stitution of Iowa and particularly the con' stltutional amendment relating to the pro hibitory law. At the time of Mr. Harvey's implication Secretary McFarland refused to certify to the constitutional amendment on the ground that tlio supreme court had de cided that the amendment was unconstitu tional. In an opinion today Judge Conrad sustained tno secretary of state , holding that in view of the supreme court's ruling the secretary could not bo compelled to certify to the constitutional amendment. A notice of appeal was given nnd an effort will bo made to carry the case into the supreme premo court. Whether or iio the supreme court will reopen the case is u question that will bo watched with great interest by tno temperance societies. Judge Conrad's rul ing was what was expected and gives those interested in the case ttio necessary oppor tunity to again got the question before the highest triounal. Iowa Loyiil Ijcgioii.

[ Special Telegram to Tnu Buu.j At the opening of court in Shelby county today J. 1C. Cumberland pleaded guilty to murder in the first degree. In the fall of 1S&U Cumberland killed James and Jasper Uobortson , father and son , two worthy citbens of Hurlan. Ho buried the bodies in the river bank and soon after left the country. The Robertsons were missed and Cumberland was suspected of their mur- dor. Sheriff Rainbow traced him to Spring field , Mo. , where ho was captured last April and brought to Harlan about six weeks : iiro. The members of the grand Jury searched His cell and found on his person a written detail of the crime and from this pupor a day or two afterwards located the graves of the Robertsons.

Tills was concededly a pretty rough place in the davs of the union Pacilio construction , bays a ClioyonnoVyoJ ( correspondent of the Chicago Herald , but with all ith downright devilment it wasn't u comparison to some of the towns further wo t. With each move toward the setting sun the swarm that accompanied tlio iron Inyora bocnmo moro reckless and had less regard for law , ns it was murkily understood , and for the rights of others as protected with tlio sixshootor or relinquished by means of persuasion through the same agency. Huiirtown , which does not now appear on tlio map , was tlio worst frontier town of the lot. It wnb on the Hoar rlvor , near what is now Illlliard station , this state. It had a population of 12,000 , and an timber was ulentiful log houses were put up , giving the place an appearance of permanency. ( Jeorgo Cooper started n bank , and S. F. NucKolls , who WIIH Wyoming's llrst delegate to congress , had n largo general Htoro. The place had n bimppy newspaper , It wuu edited ( _ ) uu ud\uaturous follow named Frooman. Ho had followed the road from Coitnell HlulTs , nnd was well known vns u mini who would stand no monkey l-uslnesM With itsoltvgovern ment nnd metropolitan tilrs , IJonrtown fairly reeked In crlnii1. Tlioro wits recorded - corded dully every thing in tlio category except suicide. No self murder occurred because that ivquh'tw deliberation , and there wasn't time to think. Shootings nnd hanging * were frequent. Finally , nt the instigation of F.dltor Freeman , n vigilance committee was or ganized with the miblicly piwlalmod purpose of hanging some of the prom I * iiont toughs and enforcing law und order. Tom Smith , ono of.tho gamblers ; had boon very crooked , and feeling the halter tightening about his noek felt that the time for action had arrived. Ho wont down to Jack McGooV gani' of graders and told them the committee was formed to run out the Irish. They were naturally Incensed and ciimo to Hcartown loll strong that night armed with pick him- die- * , drills , shovels , a few guns and n job lot of revolvers The mob moved direct on Freeman's print shop , on advice of Smith. In this Instance an editor's life was due to early training in the gym nasium. Freeman ran twenty-four miles to Fort Hrldgor. McGco's gang smashed tlio hand press , scattered the typo over tlio prairie and burned the building , Pat I.anuhan , spokesman for the Irish , mounted a barrel in front of Nuckell's store and , declaring that one good t > tm of the old sod could whip twenty regula tors , invited tlio league men to come on. A big carpenter who had gained promi nence as a list lighter came out ot the store and counseled llio rioters to return to their camp. This interference was promptly resented , and tlio carpenter returned inside , wlioro ho hastily raised a breastwork of inorehandKo and was joined by quite a party of citi/ons armed with six-shooters and Winchester- " Af ter a consultation tlio citizens deter mined to end the racket , and , rushing on the mob , ilred. The light lasted an hour or more , and ton men wore shot down , among them the big carponter. Next day $ SOO of a pnr-io was rained for the carpenter's widow. She mar ried a iiinn named L-imon and lived for yours in Salt L-iko. Tom Smith was wounded in the face and ar rested , hut discharged for lack of evi dence. Ten yours later ho was elected sheritT in a Kansas county and hud his dead opened with a htitchel by a man who resisted arrest. Freeman gave up the newspaper bus iness and engaged in coal mining , greatly to his profit. He died in 18SO at Hock Springs. That night in Henrtown , marked by ton violent deaths , was a bloody one It was like an Indian bat tle. Murder stalked abroad and assassin ation was done , but then human life had little value. Eight of the men were for got ton in a week. All that is loft ot Hcartown is a graveyard that has no caro. Surer foundation cannot bo laid than the real merit which is the solid base for tno monumental success ot Hood's ' Sarsapanlla. Till : 1KD1 l.CL.ITMtl. . TUB Br.n Brmuj : or CI.MMS , In dealing with the claims arising under the Indian depredations act , has boon successful in pro tecting a largo number of subscribers and others from extortion and loss. From com plaints that have comu to it , however , it ap pears that many of the claimants do not un derstand their position under the act. At a time when there appeared to bo little elmnco that oniiBress would take up the claims or make any appropriation to p.iv them , they signed contracts \\iththoWashington agents , promising from one-quarter to one-half the amount to the agent In case the monov should bo collected. In view of this extortion con gress inserted a provision in tlio act annul ling all contracts and limiting the agent's commission to 15 or 0 per cent. The claimants all probably understand that the agent's commission has boon limited by the law , out many of them , according to their own statements , do not understand that they are fico to do as they please about employing the agent they had first chosen. Tlmy con sider that they are still bound to employ the agent with whom they signed ttio exorbitant contracts , whether they are satisfied with him or not. It was the intention of congress to protect them at nil points and they were loft on tlio passage of the act free to" do as they pleased and employ whom they pleased. Section 0 of the act stated : "That all sales , transfers or assignments of any sucli claims heretofore or hereafter made , except such as have occurred in the duo ( administration of decedents' es tates , and all contracts horetofoio made for fees and allowances to claimants' attorneys are horeuy declined void. There could bo no mistake about the moan ing of this. All claimants had to make now contracts with ugcnts after the passage of the act , and they were ut liberty to employ any uno they pleased. If they were pleased with the /cal and acts of their first a ent thov might make their now contract , with him. If they were dlssalised they might choose any other agent that they pleased. These who have not signed new contracts since the passage of the act miiy profit by this to secure much better terms than they could otherwise got from the agents. The foot that Tin : Bui : Bi UIJAI is doing the work for the baio oxnenso involved 1ms had a good olTect In moderating the charges of all ngonts to those who know how to protect them selves.
