The- Jury In the
Bryant case had not ar
rived at a verdict at midnight last night , and
the probability Is almost a certainty that
they would disagree and would ask to be
discharged this morning. Various rumors
were Inclrculatlon as to how they stood.
The one most generally credited and that
seemed to leak out through the windows
and key holes was to the- effect that they
stood ten to two for a verdict of $5,000 for
Miss Bryant.

worthless rascal , .24 years old , and the

Shorn Up.
The case Inwhich William Arnd , re
ceiver , and the Carpenter Paper company ,
creditors , of the Nonpareil Printing com
pany , were' quarreling over the possession of
about a dozen cases of wln and whisky ,
waa brought up before Judge Macy yester
day , It "will bo remembered that owing to
the- fact that It was necessary for any one
who wanted to sell liquor lo take out a
license- , Receiver Arnd did not reckon the
liquor among the assets , but allowed E , E.
Hart , the mortgagee , to- take U to his home
for safe keeping , In order thai the employes
Of the paper might not get drunk. The
circumstances under which the removal took
place were all recited before the court yes
terday afternoon. At the conclusion the
Judge decided that inasmuch as Mr , Hart
was not n democrat , but a republican ani n
total abstainer , the liquor might bo safely
allowed to remain at his house until It was
sold. But In spite of the fact that liquor
was not strictly a salable commodity ex
cepting by some one with a license , the re
ceiver waa Instructed to count It la among
the assets. The paper will be sold at auc
tion November 12 , In case any one wants
It. and the liquor will be sold along with
the rest of the property.
TintjAN : Mit ; MONTH ,

Secretary J. Q. Anderson cf the Council
Bluffs Insurance company was devoting the
closing hours ot the month yesterday to the
work of figuring up thecompany's business
for the first ten months of the year. The
result was sufficient to make him smile. It
showed that the receipts since January 1
had been J60.000 , and of this amount the
company had been called upon to pay out
$20,000 for losses. The total losses for the
month of October will scarcely exceed $50 ,
making the smallest loss record in the his
tory of the company. This extraordinary
good luck is rapidly making up for the fear
ful losses of June , July and August , when
the bulk of the year's losses were Inflicted.
Such a record is a matter of pride to the
company and the peopleof Council Bluffs ,
ami gives new solidity to the strong and pros
perous home company.
IVlit llo Nil .loinI Iliibate.
It has been definitely settled that there
will bo no Joint debates batween Congress
man Hoger and Candidate Weaver , as was
requested by the Union Protective Labor as
sociation. The- following letter explains the
situation , doubtless to the satisfaction of all :
COUNCIL BLUFFS , la. . Oct. 31.-R. N.
Whtttlesey , Esq. , Chairman Democratic
Countj Central Committee Dear Sir I um
In receipt of yours of October 29 In regard
to the proposed Joint dUiciisslon between
General J. U. Weaver , the populist-demo
cratic candidate for congress , nnd A. L.
Ilagor. republican candidate. 1 am advised
that there hns been some correspondence
between the chairmen ot the congressional
committees relating to the same matter ,
and that they have failed to arrange nny
Joint meetings. The republican county
committee will , of course , be guided by
the arrangements of committees directly
representing- congressional candidates ,
anil for that rcnton , If for no other , I shall
have to decline making any of the arrange
ments you propose.
I will add , however , on the part of the
county committee , that your proposition IH
now Impracticable , In view of the appoint
ments I have already mode. Yours truly ,
T. C. DAWSON ,
Chairman Republican County Central Com
mittee.

Several local sports have been running the
town over the last few day's , looking for people
ple who would , like to bet on Weaver , and
offering- nil kinds of Inducements , It Is
rumored that they found what they were
looking for too soon , and are now trying to
find a graceful way to hedge. They are netlike
like the people who are looking- all over town
for bargains and don't nnd them unless they
happen Into T. B , Hughes' down town gonts'
furnishing establishment , for when they once
see the Immense bargains he Is giving In
men's and boys' underwear , shoes , caps and
gloves , they don't try to hedge , but proceed
to lay In their winter's , supply and go away
happy. If you want to nnd what you are
looking lor , and have the money , go down to
919 Main street , and you arc euro to find it ,

the Phoenix. Insurance company , Involving
several hundred dollars Insurance on the
building of H. O. Meacie , has filed a motion
for n new trial , which was argued and sub
mitted In the district court yesterday niter-
noon. The motion Is based on an affidavit
'I ' which It is claimed by W. J. Davenport ,
ono of the directors of the Building and
Loan association , that E. H. Odell , the agent
ofpri the Insurance company , was aware of the
property having been transferred before the
fir . They claim that Odcll himself admitted
th In a conversation with Davenport at a
time when his heart went out to Davenport
with unusual fervor by reason of hie- having
an axe to grind when he was trying to get
the franchise- for the new motor company
to Manawa. Inasmuch as the Judgment was
given ' In favor of the defendant nt the time
of the first trial on the theory that the de
fendant ! had no knowledge ot the transfer ,
they > claim that this entitled them1 to another
trial.

made at police headquarters today that the
rand jury has found Indictments against
ollca Captain Stevenson and "Wardens Glen-
on , Burns and Smith upon evidence brought
Jt before the Lexow committee. The spe-
flc charge , It Is said. Is blackmail.
Chairman Lexow of the senate Invcsllgat-
ng committee Intimated at the opening of
oday's session that should Commissioner
heehan show tut her recalcitrancy Mr. Goff
ould be likely to take him off the stand
nd certify him to the grand Jury. Mr.
heehan was accompanied to the investigation
tiamber by his brother , the lieutenant gov-
rnor. The commissioner had brought some
ank books with him , concerning which , he
aid : "Because I have my bank books Jt
oes not mean that I will tell what's In them
nlcss I am accused of depositing money
legally , and then I will produce them. "
James W. Boyle , Tammany leader of the
Flnth assembly district , was first placed on
'ie stand today ,
"Did you send out a notice , " asked Mr.
off , "calling for a list o people who were
nder police control ? "
"I did not. "
"Now , here is a typewritten slip attached
on a circular bearing your name. It Is ad-
ressed to the election district captains , Will
ou swear that this slip was not sent out
rom your headquarters ? "
"I swear I don't know anything about It. "
ASKED TO JOIN TAMMANY.
"When a taloon keeper wants a license do
ou not force- him to Join Tammany hall ? "
"I ask him , but use no threats. "
"You go before the excise board In their
nterests ? "
"No , sir , I appoint an excise committee. '
"That's Interesting , " broke In Chairman
.exow. The witness attempted to amend
Is admission , but Senator Lexow said
ternly : "How could a political organ I za-
lon look after excise matters ? "
"Well , the commission consisted of one
nan who was a member ot the liquor deal-
rs" association. "
Commissioner Sheehan was called to the
land. He was holding several books and
omo typewritten papers , but declined to tell
Ir. GofC what they were. Mr. Goff read
n Interview with Mr. Sheehan , published
everal years ago. He laid stress on the
tat e merit that advances had been made by
a mm any to stop ( he payment of police
lackmatl. "Is that true ? " asked Mr. Goff
The commissioner wanted to explain. He
ould not answer positively.
"You can be committed , for contempt , "
xclalmcd Mr. Goff. '
"You had better try It , " defiantly retorted
tie witness.
"You'll answer the . .questions as counsel
ants , " Chairman Le-xqw eajd.
"I'll answer them In.my qwn way. "
"You have done enough to be committed
3r contempt a score of times , " exclaimed
Chairman Lexow , rapping for order.
"Did you over hear Uiat some one , acting
n your name , had suppressed news stands
. 'hlch sold papers politically opposed to
ou ? " asked Mr. Goff.
"I heard some thing nbou't it. Tlio man
lad no authority to uie my name. "
"Was a saloon keeper named McDuff told

newspapers. "
"What Is Its name. ? "
"I'm not prepared to say. "
"Tho witness must answer , " ruled the
chairman. Then ensued an exciting scene.
Senator Cantor spoke up excitedly : "Don'l
lut that down , stenographer. " Then to
3halrin.an Lexow , "Why don't you put the
question ? "
The chairman attempted to cut him off
with his gavel. Bang , bang , bang !
"You can't down me , " shouted Senator
Cantor.
"Come to order , " Bhouted Senator Lexow
who betrayed considerable ) excitement.
'I'll have my say , " shouted Senator Can
tor.

The spectators joined in the uproar. The
excitement grew intense , and Senator Cantor
and Senator Lexow kept up ft flcry word bat
tle until the latter , all the whllo hammering

In a high-pitched voice : "Information has
reached mo that the 'room U packed wltl
Pequod club members , who came liere
through an arrangement between Senate
Cantor and Sheehan to applaud the com
mlssloner. Let the senator explain. "
"Why , this Is astonishing , " gasped Sen
ator Cantor. "I accused of that. It I
preposterous. "
"I do not think Senator Cantor would d
such a thing. It must be false , " said th <
chairman.
"I want the spectators removed , " de
mended Mr. Golt. "There Is a clique here
Whllo I can't believe Senator Cantor has
packed these men In , they nro here.
"They must not make any demonstration

man. , .
"Thcro arc only three Petjuod club members

red he refunded the amount , $4,100. He

"There Is no doubt that the life of most
vomen at the present day Is a complex one. "
ays the Ladles' Home Journal , "and In the
arge cities the demands made upon time and
trength nre legion. No wonder so many fall
ly the way. "
Even women of the privileged classes kno
what fatigue means , and the weariness re-
itiUIng from overtaxed nerves , that Is more
ntense and more depressing than anything
known to tired muscles.
When frequent headaches and neuralgia
jive warning that the nerve tissues are not
jalng fully repaired after hard work or anx-
oty , further mischief will bo avoided by
eedlng the- brain and nerves with the won-
erful nutriment , Palne's celery compound.
Nature is a gentle mother nnd soothes
while she strengthens.
Palnc's celery compound builds up the body
according to nature's plan ,
The human machine must have fuel. This
grand Invlgorator and strengthener Is able to
estore the delicate nerves to robust health
> y feeding them rapidly and abundantly with
he peculiar elements they find It so dllllcull
o extract for themselves from the ordinary
learty diet. A great nerve doctor , famous
n two continents , says that any ivomiin
whose nervous strength Is at all' deplctbd
must either take time to- rest at any cost or
replace the wornout" tissues with I'alne'a
celery compound.
A woman should never be too tired to
mile.
Palne's celery compound Is today busy in
ta mission to homes everywhere In the laivl ,
making sunshine , hopeful faces , and ready
smiles where there was sadness and tin
weary looks of despair.
Sirs. Jennie A. Huff , whose portrait is jjlreq
above , writing from her homo In Sebcwa ,
Mich. , says :
"My husband lias had a stomach trouble
for over a year , from which ho suffered the
tortures of a dally death. Ho could cat
scarcely anything , and what he did cat soured
on his stomach and caused htm to bloat so
terribly that life was only a burden. Ho
tried phylclans to no avail , and as I was tak
ing Palne's celery compound , he thought ho
would try It. In a short time he was sur
prised to find that ho could rat anything
with no bad effects ; the bloating la all gone
and his stomach Is In good condition.
"I had suffered for years with periodical
spells of sick headache ; pen cannot dc-scrlba
what I suffered at such times. For the last
two years I noticed that my nervous system
was getting all out of order ; I had no appe
tite and was getting to be a mere shadow of
my former self. I was nervous , weak , could
not rest nights , and felt gloomy and low
spirited. Before I had token one bottle. o
1'alno's celtfry compound I began to feel Ilko
a new person , and now , after taking e\x \
bottles , I am enjoying perfect health. I hava
not bad a spell of sick headache In over a
year. My nerves ore- all right , my sleep It
Ilko that of a healthy child , and I feel mora
like ona than like a woman of30. I do all
my own work and bless Palne's colon' com
pound for what it has done for me and thine.
"Wo hovt > used ! In our family 12 or 15
bottles of Palno's celery compound. Doctor * '
bills are now unknown la our family. "
