The city hill schonw , to nil intents and
lurposos , died of strangulation yesterday
afternoon at the hands of the Unniico com-
nlttoo , to whom was referred at the last
council mooting , the ordinance providing for
the submission to the voters of n proportion
to npproprl.Uo the sum of ? li > 0OJO , for tbo
mrnoso of erecting a ball. The committee
icld a.mcotltig at the oniee of City Attorney
Stewart , tit which all the members of tbu
council were present. The chairman pre
sented a report which bad been agreed upon
D.V the committee. In which It , was stated
ilint It hud been found * upon investigation
that iho < | Ucstion of building u city ball was
not foasibln at the present tlmo , from tno
Fact the Issuing of bonds to the amount of
M" > 0,000 would Increase the bonded Indebted
ness of the city to something lllcot 10,0m ) be
yond the limit allotted by the constitution of
the state.
This report was submitted to the other
members of the council who were present ,
and thoroughly dlscusscu. Although no
formal action was taken. It was evident that
a largo part of tbo council coincided with tbo
members of the committee In their views ,
and the report will probably bo adopted at
the meeting of the council tomorrow evening ,
unless enough pressure can bo brouRht by
friends of the hall scheme to bear upon the
other members of the council to prevent such
action from being taken.
If the ronort ot the committee Is adopted it
will virtually kill the city ball Idea alto
gether , from the fact that during the last
few weeks the conviction hab become preva
lent that to spend anything less than $150,000
on a hall would bo a waste of money , and
that It is better to worry along In the same
old way than to build u now ball that would
not bo a credit to the city.
It Is bolng suggested ny those who are en
thusiastically In favor of building a now hall
that there Is ono way of avoiding the trouulo
arising from tbo constitutional limit of in
debtedness , and that Is by raising the
assessed valuation of property. This , while
not Increasing the amount of taxes , would
decrease the percentage of Indebtedness ,
and thus bring Council Bluffs into line with
the other prosperous cities of the country.
That the city Is in. such a financial condition
as to Do able to stand the comparatively
slight strain of floating (150,000 worth of
twenty-year bonds Is thought to be amply
shown by the fact that Its Indebtedness has
been reduced during the past year to the
amount of $ , .0.000 , besides which arrange
ments tmvo been made for the further reduc
tion to the extent of twice as much more
during the coming year.

Dlsiilipc-iiri-il In Detroit.
Information was rccoivccLin the city Fri
day evening or the disappearance of W. W.
Hannan , wealthy real estate man of Detroit
and a brother of C. K. Hannan of this cltv.
Ho was last seen at the Cadillac ball in De
troit nt 10 o'clock at night , and where ho
wont whsn ho loft there is not known. As
soon as his disappearance was learned here
C. H. Hannan telegraphed to the wife of the
missing man asking if anything had hap
pened to his brother. Early yesterday morn
ing ho received a telegram bearing his
brother's signature and stating that ho was
safe at borne. Something In tbo way the
message was worded , however , led him to
think that everything was not quiet right ,
and ho believed the telegram to have been
sent by Mrs. Hannan in order to allay his
fears In the hope that her husband would bo
found before the true .state of affairs should
become known.
Tbo theory of abduction is the ono that
receives tbo most ciodonco. Mr. Hannuu
bus amassed a largo fortune in the last ten
years , and he would therefore bo n shining
mark for any ono who wanted to got a ran
som. Ho was in the habit of weaving a
number of valuable Jewels , which might
have excited the greed of some of the high
waymen that do a lucrative business In Do-
, trolt. Some time ago ho was waylaid on the
street , slugged and robbed , find it was thought
very likely that ho might have met witti a
similar encounter tbis tlmo. Ho has visited
in CounoU Bluffs on a number of occasions ,
and has many friends who will bo interested
iu the latest news of him.
Information received late last evening waste
to the effect that Mr. Hunnan had returned
homo safe and sound after an absence of
twenty-four hours. Ho told his friends that
ho had boon Induced to leave Detroit at 11
o'clock ' at night , and claims to have dropped
a letter in the postoflico for his wife Just
before bis departure. Ho declines to mention
any reason for his strange actions , and his
friends are at a loss to explain them.

The Pottnwattamlo County Fruit Growers
and Gardeners association mot in regular
monthly session yesterday afternoon. Mr.
Alex. Wood read n paper on the pruning of
grapes. The association by resolution en
dorsed the candidacy of P. P. Kelly , pres
ident of tbo Mills county society , as super
intendent of horticulture for the state of
IoVa In the coming World's fair. Arrange
ments were matin for a special meeting to beheld
held next Saturday for iho purpose of organ
ising a grape growers association ,
One of the main objects of next Saturday's
mooting Is to form an organisation for the
purpose of establishing a cold storage ware
house. An establishment of this kind Is a
necessity to a region where so much fruit is
grown as In Pottawattamlo county , and the
fruit growers have boon coming moro and
more to tbo conclusion that tbo tlmo 1ms
come for an organized effort to bo made. Ne
gotiations are already pending for the rent
ing of Green's packing house during the
coming season us a place to make the experi
ment , and after one year's trial It is ox-
pooled that tbo fruitgrowers will have found
out what will be necessary. It the schema
Is carried out as It now seems llkclv to bo , a
large storehouse will be built ln tbo city.

ton has done u good work for the residents of
this section In attending1 to the claims arising
under the Indian depredations act. It has
saved these who have taken advantage of its
offer from the unconscionable charges of the
regular clnltn agents , and has benefited the
others by forcing the agents to demand only
moderate foes In order to got business. Tbo
long delay over the passage of the act had
given the claim agents time to make con
tracts that would give them the lion's sbaro
ot the appropriation. Many of the claimants
had boon Induced to sign contracts guarantee-
ng the agent from ono-thlrd to over 50 per
cent of the claims In case they wore allowed.
The depredations act annulled these extor
tionate contracts uud sot the limit of agents'
foes ut 15 per cent , to bo increased in certain
cases to SO per cent on the order of the court
of claims ,
But so many complaints were made of tbo
action of the agents , and so many Inquiries
for a reliable agent were sent to this office ,
that It was decided to establish a bureau
under the dltoct charge of Tun BKB to pro-
cot its subscribers and give thorn the bene
fits of tbo law at tbo lowest possible charges.
The bureau has 'noro than Justified Its es
tablishment. It has attended to the claims
of a largo number of the sufferers bv the In }

HOW TO SECURE A PATENT ,

Bureau of Claims ,
METHODS OF THE PATENT OFFICE ,
The Conrno 1'ollouiMt by the Author of mi
liurlitliin to Protect UN Hlghts
t' < iiti of Obtaining u
Pllll'llt ,
To tlio Inventor tlio nit Important question
presents Itself , "How rnn 1 secure n pntontl'1
end to this Ttir. I KB Bureau offoH the fol
lowing explanation : .
Inventors as u clnsi are not familiar with
tlio laws under which letteri patent nro
granted , the forms anil practice In the patent
ofllco at Washington and tlio technical
methods of casting specifications and claims
to properly protect tliolr Inventions against
I n f ringers , yet the value of the patent and
oven Its validity depend largely upon the
careful and export preparation of the case. i
Specifications must bo diiuvn to fully ills- '
close the Invention , to distinguish botwocn
what Is new and what Is old , and claims ,
upon which the value and validity of the
patent depend , must bo cast to fully cover
the invention yet not to encroaclitipon pat
ents already granted. Failure In cither of
these rospouls often renders the patent value
less or void. The employment , of counsel
skilled In patent law is therefore usually a
prerequisite to the proper prosecution of a
case and a grant of a valuable patent.
Many Inventors suffer the loss of benefits
that should bo derived from valuable inven
tions owing to Insuniclont protection by pat-
ots procured through Incompetent or care
less agents , etc.
for U'lmt Granted ,
Under the laws of the United States let
ters patent are granted to any parson who
has invented or discovered any now and use
ful an , machine , manufacture or composition
of matter , or has Invented any now or useful
Improvement thereon.
Turin oT I'M I I'M I.
A patent Is granted for seventeen years ,
during which tlmo tlio owner has solo and
exclusive right to make , use and sell tU o
patented invention.
I law to I'roccpil.
For economic reasons bcforo making ap
plication to tbo patent ofllco for a patent ,
the novelty and patentability of the inven
tion should bo ascertained , because , If the
invention is not now or not patontablo nn
unnecessary expense Is incurred by filing nn
application on which a patent can never bo
granted , etc.
The first thing to bo done Is to find out
whether or not the Invention Is now ana
patuntablo.
For advlco on the point It Is necessary to
send to tlio bureau a routrti or complete
sketch or a photograph of iho invention , to
gether with a brief description thereof ,
setting forth the object of the improve
ments. the arrangement of the parts and
the advantages attained. While a model is
very seldom necessary , yet it is often of
great assistance. The latter can bo ma Jo of
any cheap material , at.d will be returned if n
request is made to that effect.
Upon receipt of the data mentioned : ufllc-
ieutto enable tbo Invention to bo understood
our counsel will at once examine thereinto ,
and will advise without charge what is the
best course to pursuu and will express an
opinion , from their knowledge of the arts
and patents already geanted , as to the patent
ability of the invention.
In this connection it is recommended that
the best und safest course is to have a
special search made in the patent olllco to
ascertain whether or not the invention hns
been heretofore patented. The advantage of
such a search is that , if no anticipating patent
is discovered tlio application can bo filed with
a greater decree of certainty , whereas if the
invention-is found to be old all further ex
pense is avoided. The cost of a search of
this nature is to , and with the report of the
result thereof the inventor will bo furnished
with copies of such patents , if any , as em
brace his ideas. It is much Abettor to have
this search made in tbo outset before incur
ring anv ' expense whatever regarding the np-
plicatio'n for patont.
If it is found that liciuvcntlon [ is now and
patentablo the client is advised to proceed
with the tiling of nn application for patent ,
and will then bo requested to remit 15
to cover tbo llrst government fee and
$5 in payment of cost of drawing , when ono
is necessary. As soon as possible after the
receipt of this remittance the specification of
the invention will bo carefully prepared
and forwarded to the inventor , together with
formn for application for patent ready for
execution. Upon return of the latter the case
will bo promptly Hied at the patent ofllco and
notice will bo sent when notion Is had thereon -
on , and also of the nut lire of such action.
The examining corps of the patent ofllco is
divided into thirty-two divisions , among
which the applications are divided accord ing
to the oftlcial classification. Tbo condition of
the work in the various divisions varies trout
ono to live months ID arrears.
Tlio liiiroau Charges ,
Consistent with the spirit with which this
bureau was formed , it is not intended to
conduct any branch of the business on a
money making basts , but it is proposed to do
the work as near the actual cost as will pro
tect the business from loss. Although counsel
are retained at heavy expense to tbo bureau ,
yet It is the wish to charge in ordinary cases
only the minimum' fco of $ .25. However , in
cases requiring extra care , tlmo and labor
the foe will bo proportionately Increased , but
clients will always bo advised In advance
should such Increase of foe bo found neces
sary. In directing inquiries either to our
Omaha or Washington ofllco please mention
the fact that you read these instructions in

A patent for a design is granted to any
person who has invented or procured any
new mid original design for the printing of
woolen , silk , cotton or other fahricx ; any
new and original impression , ornament , pat
tern , print or picture to bo printed , painted ,
cast or otherwise placed on or worked into
any article of manufacture ; or any now ,
useful and original shape or configuration of
any article of manufacture , the same not
having boon known or used by others before
his invention or production thereof , or pat
ented or described in any printed publica
tion. Patents for designs are granted for
the term of three and one-half joars , the
government fee being S10 ; or for seven years ,
the fee being $15 ; or for fourteen years , the
fee being $ . ' 10. Tlio charge of the buroyu In
such cases is usually $ - . ' > .
A.latent can bo reissued whenever th'o
same Is Inoperative or invalid by reason of a
defective or Insufficient specification , or by
reason of the patentee's claiming more than
ho had a right to claim as new , providing the
error has arisen by accident , mistake or In
advertence , and without fraudulent Intent.
The government foe for a reissue Is f.0. ! The
cost of drawing Is $3 , and the bureau charge
Is usually Wo. Great care must DO exercised
In lolssulng a patent , because very often
what little validity thorn may bo in a defec
tive patent In entirely lost by procuring a re
issue which ia totally Invalid.
Ill'.ll'cllMl ClIHl'S ,
There are In the patent ofllco a great many
case- , which stand rejected , but which should
bo allowed. This condition of the case maybe
bo dun either to incompetenoy o.i the part of
the attorney employed or his Inability , be
cause of resilience elsewhere than In Wash
ington , to make the examiner sou the Inven
tion In Its true light ; and then , again , as
often occurs , cases uro rejected on Improper
or insufficient grounds. When so requested
wo will have our counsel examine Into ni\y
sucti CUSP free of charge and advise as to the
prospects for success by further prosecution ,
The client will also bo then Informed of the
probable cost ot completion.

Labels of all kinds , designed to bo at
tached to manufactured articles or to bottles ,
coxes , etc. , containing them , have heretofore
been received for registration In the p-ttont
olllco and a certificate issued accordingly ,
Under a very recent decision of the supreme
court of the United States It Is held that
there Is no Authority In law for granting cer
tificates of registration of labels which
simply designate or describe the ar
ticles to which they are attached , and
which have no value separated therefrom. A
label to bo entitled to registration must have
by Itself some value as a composition , nt least
as serving some purpose or other than as n
mere designation or advertisement. Many
now holding certificates of registration of la
bels are totally without any protection what
ever. Many registered labels comprise sub-
loot matter registorablo is trademarks.
Wherever this Is so , or whore bv a slight
change It can bo made to como within the
purview of the laws govorntne trademarks ,
registration should oo sought under tbis
head. The government fco In a label case Is

total coat thereof is about $3 , including all

JutrrforoiuTH.
An Interference is a judicial proceeding in
stituted under the direction of the commis
sioner of patents to enable him to de
termine the question of priority of
invention between rival claimants. The
bureau , recognising the fact that extraor
dinary care and skill nro requisite on the
part of an attorney in charge of a case in in
terference. has at its command counsel prepared -
pared to conduct a cuso in interference from
the very inception down to a final determina
tion of the merits of the cause. Testimony
will also bo taken under our direction in anv
part of the United States. While no specific
sum can bn sot down as applicable to all in
terference cases alike , yet the charges will
always be as reasonable us possible.
ThS question whether or not ono patent In
fringes another is the very soul of all patent
litigation , The questions involved nro many ,
and of 'the most intricate nature. It is al
ways a mutter of such grout importance that
n8 ono should over claim that another Is In-
frinclng on his rights , or , likewise , no atten
tion should be paid to the claims of infrmco-
mont by others until the questions involved
are carefully passed upon by a reliable at
torney. For such services the charges aic
always fair and reasonable.
ItorvlRii Patents.
In addition to the bureau's facilities for
attending to the Interests of its inventor-pat
rons before the United States patent olllco
and courts , it is also enabled to procure
patents for inventions in all countries
of the world. In many of the foreign coun
tries , notably Canada , England and Ger
many , patents for Inventions previously
patented In this country nro looked upon
with cieat favor , and inventors are thcio
very frequently more likely to realize profits
from their Inventions than they are oven In
this country. The cost of foreign patents
varies with different cases , but as a general
tulo the expenses of procuring patents , cov
onng all charges , is about as follows :
Canada , S50 ; England , 830 ; Germany , $00 :
Franco , ? S. > ; Spain , tUO ; Belgium , fliO. Ad
ditional information regarding the cost , etc. ,
in any foreign country will bo , furnished uy
letter on application. IP all such requests
mention having read tuoso Instructions in
Tun BEE.
Iinimrtiiiit Warning
It seems remarkable that in this eniiRht-
oned ago it becomes the duty of every re
liable and trustworthy attorney In patent
matters to advise his clients to beware of
the many sharks who sot out with the ap
parent Intention of defrauding inventors
immediately after the issue of their patents.
When a patent appears In the Patent Office
Gazette patentees are besot with innumer
able otters , solicitations , requests , eta , some
pretending to war.t to purchase their patents ,
while others offer to take nn interest therein
under promise of procuring foreign patents.
The solo object of these people Is to obtain
money from inventors , undthoy never make
the slightest endeavor to carry out tholr
groundless or worthless promises.
; UmlilH.
As hereinbefore mentioned , models nro not
required in the patent ofltco except in intri
cate or complicated cases. But nt the same
time when an invention can bo better ex
plained by a model It Is well to send thn same

not larger than ono square foot , and in send

that congress would take up the claims or
