Complaints nro being made by some o'f the
formers living In the vicinity of Council
Bluffs by reason of the violation of a law
passed by the state legislature at Its last
session with reference to trespassers upon
private grounds. Hunters , It seems , have
not confined their attentions to wild game ,
but have even shot and carried off domestic
fowls. It Is probable that the public have
not yet learned the now law , and that a no
tice will bo all that Is required to put a stop
to most of the lawlessness. The statute now
provides a penalty of not to exceed $10 and
costs upon every one who hunts with dog or
gun on the cultivated or enclosed land of an
other without nrst obtaining permission from
the owner , agent or occupant.

The Bee lias a telegram from Sioux Falls ,
S. D. , which says : "J. J. Ludlam , who
came hero from Council Bluffs some tlmo ago
and went Into partnership with L. A. In-
wood In conducting the Ninth Street hotel ,
silently stole away late Sunday night , leav
ing nothing to remember him by except
several hundred dollars of debts. Mr. In-
wood says Ludlam beat him out of several
hui'dred. dollars through the partnership
deal. Ludlam , according to Mr. Inwood , Is
general agent for the Masonic Benevolent
association of Chicago , and his sudden de
parture from hero will at once be reported to
that association. "
Ludlam arrived In Council Bluffs from
Illinois last spring and spent two days hero
trying to Induce Secretary W. J. Jamison
of the Masonic Benevolent association of
thlo city to organize the state of Wisconsin
and Install him as general agent. Jamison
Investigated Ludlam's past record , and find
ing It not of the best , refused to make any
such arrangement. As Is commonly donp ,
howt'vcr , ho gave Ludlam a few blank ap
plications and Ludlam wrote some policies ,
receiving the regular commission. He was
never a regularly appointed agent for the
association. About six weeks ago Mr. Jami
son received a letter stating that while
working as the agent for the Covenant Slu-
tunl Life Insurance company of Galcsburg ,
III. , he buncoed creditors to the extent of
$450 , and the creditors arc now looking for
him. Ho has a wife and three children In
Illinois In abject poverty , the wlfo having
to support herself and children since her
husband's disappearance.

City Council Tics tlm 'Mutter Up for I'lvo
Vmirs on the I'lilliulolplihi Sclu-ilule.
The city council held a meeting last evsn-
Ing , prefacing It by the usual star chamber
session , during which Hie aldermen spoke
their minds with comparatively little fear
of the consequences. At the meeting at
which the public was kindly allowec\ be
present , the nsw contract that was drawn
up by the special committee , consisting of
Aldermen HIshton , Grahl and White , with
reference to city lights , was read. It bore
the signatures of the officials of the light
company. By It tie | contractors agreed to
furnish 123 or more arc lights for five years
from December 1 , 1804 , at a cost of $81 per
light , per annum , according to the Phila
delphia schedule' , overtime to be paid for , by
the hour at proportionate rates.
There was considerable opposition to the
adoption of this contract , several property
owne's making splcchcs against It. Leonard
Everett called attention to the fact that In
these days of rapid scientific progress , five
years was a long time for such a contract
to run , as In two years possibly light could
bo procured at one-twentieth the present
cost. But In spite of It all , the council firged
ahead and ratified the contract , and Urewlck
was the only one who voted against It.
John Wallace's bill for grading intersec
tions was laid over. < M *
The now ordinance giving ths Omaha
Bridge and Terminal Railway company the
right of way over Union avenue for n ? ! ngl6
track , was brought up for Its first rri.dlng.
It requires the company to establish a depot
at the corner of Union avcnu ? and BroaJwuy ,
run trains dally at least , carry passingers
and freight , "spend at least $75,000 In im
provements during the year 1K03. By the
terms of the ordinance * this franchise cannot
bo. assigned to any other company1. After
being read the ordinance was laid < vcr.
City Attorney Hazelton presented his re
port with regard to the city's right to va
cate Seventh ftreet. He said that while
property owners had the right to preserve
their property fro'ni danlage's7 they had no
right to object , on slight grounds , to 1m
provements which would be of great advan
tage to the public generally. It was for the
council to determine whether or not the Im
provement was needed , and If It was It had
the rlgiit to have It made.
Alderman White at once moved that the
petition of the Rock Island Railway com
pany for the vacation of the part of Seventh
street lying between Thirteenth and Four
teenth avenues be granted , but City Clerk
Kurmuehlen read several remonstrancej that
had been placed on file. One of these con
talned the ndmts of about twenty-five pFop-
erty owners on South Seventh street. Among
the petitioners were the Sisters of Mercy , the
Scandinavian Baptist church and the school
board. Without any parley the council dis
regarded the wishes of all these petitioners
as had been agreed upon In the star chamber
session , and granted the Hock Island Its pe
tition.
The contract for grading F.fteenth avenue
was awarded to John M. Hardln.
Alderman Spetman called the attention of
the council to the fact htat under the Phila
delphia schedule the. lights were not started
until an hour or so after dark , and were
left burning an hour or Ed longer In the
, morning than was necessary. He wanted
the light committee , aided by the city and
the electric light company's electricians , to
revise the schedule co as to remedy these
defects. This was done , and the couflcl
adjourned to meet next Tuesday evening.

irtd Killing Off Arkunnuiu.
iw Mr.'and Mr * . R. C. Francis returned last
iwn evening from a ten days' sojourn In Forl
nctl Smith , Ark. Both were there for the pur
ofm pose of giving testimony In the Conductor
m Brown murder case. They were on the
idch Missouri Pacific train three weeks ago when
ch .Pullman Conductor Brown was shot and
Is killed on the platform of the coach. The
of authorities had arrested the train crew and
or the roadmatter and tried them for murder ,
The chrge was dlimlmd , largely uponthe
testimony of Mr. , and Mrs. Francis. While
there Mr. Francti ftllowehlpped and became
irl acquainted with several hUndred of the train
robbers who bad business with the courts ,
among the. number the noted Henry Starr.
The latter held his leve In front of the
10 jail and distributed phptogrnphs , which show
him to ba a , smooth-faced boy , 21 yean old ,
witha' very bright but very bad -eye. Francis
sayi the floating population of the town is
made up of 500 jurors , drawn from all over
the Ute and TCXHI , and several thousand
witnesses Human life Isn't worth very
much down there , and the Way to get a dis
tinguished reputation without getting Into
trouble Is to get on the bench and sfnteppe
men to be hung. The Judge that has the
longest string la the biggest man. One Judge
who holds cfinrt where he can look out upon
the permanent gallows has ninety men to his
credit , and has lots of new material to work
upon.

Early In November there appeared In The
ee n report of n case tried In the district
ourt at Sioux City wherein AMlitir Rhys
ued Waller Strange for $30,000. H was
barged that certain jurors had ben bribed ,
case was reopened for an Investigation
f the charges and a hearing was had
Jovembcr 7. Among the Jurors examined
ras Mr. Michael Dolan , an old rastdcnt of
loux City. The correspondent. In reporting
he testimony of Mr. Dolan , misrepresented
hat gentleman's testimony. It was stated
hat Mr. Dolan , In his testimony , said that
e had made a trip to Boston at Strange's
ixpensc , and that the latter had botlghu a
lane for Dolan's daughter. To this pub
shed statement Mr. Dolan enters a positive
cnlal , and upon careful examination of the
ifllclal transcript of his testimony given In
ho case It Is shown that no reference is
: nade , either by witness or attorneys , to a
lane , and the testimony shows that Mr.
Jolan's trip to Boston was made at least a
ear prior to the trial of the case. It was
, lso shown that Mr. Dolan's conversation
with Strange In reference to the proposed
lalo of a lot owned by Dolan to Strange oc-
iurred nearly a ysar prior to the Jury trial.
Ir. Dolan has resided tn Sioux City for
wenty years and Is regarded as n man of
ntegrlty and gpod character. The report as
lubllshed did Mr. Dolan an Injustice and It Is
uo the gentleman that a correct statement
t the case be made.
1'or the Children.
W. A. McGulre , a well known citizen of
> IcKay , Ohio , Is of the opinion that there
s nothing as good for children troubled with
olds or croup ns Chamberlain's Cough Rein-
idy. He has used It in his family for sev-
ral years with the best results and always
; eep 'a bottle of It In the house. After hav-
ng la grippe he wad himself troubled with
a severe cough. He used other remedies
.vlthout . benefit and then concluded to try
he children's medicine , and to his delight it
eon effected a permanent cure.
President Sun ford Talks.
President George P. Sanford of the First
National bank has offered to settle the case
f E. W. Davenport against the First Na-
lonal bank for $1,750 , but It has not yet
eon decided whether or not the proposition
vlll be accepted. This offer , he claims , Is
easonablo enough , considering that there Is
good deal of doubt as to whether the utate
as the slightest claim upon the estate of
EVIlllom Parks. In view of the fact that
'arks ' was a non-resident of the state of
owa. Mr. Sanford claims that the estate
hould go , If anywhere , to the state of which
10 was a resident at the tlmo of his death ,
lo denies thi.t cqmpound Interest IB to be
sod in computing the amount now. due , and
vcn considers It doubtful- 'Interest can

Mike O'Hern , who was employed ns nurse
t the pest house , has dually been placed
nder arrest. The charge Is violating the
dlnnnce covering contagious diseases.
O'Hern lives nt the corner of Twenty-third
nd J streets. He was employed to nurse
lasmussen. the smnllpox patient , at the pest
ouse , nnd remalred for two weeks , when
e deliberately walked away and came direct
o his residence In this city. The hous\
as fumigated nnd the clothing worn by
'Hern burned. O'Hern , however , did netti
ng voluntarily to prevent the spreading of
he disease , nnd It is for this reason that
o la to be prosecuted In the police court.
The complaint was filed by Police Officer
Dave Mulcahy , and It was he who made the
rrest.
O'Hern wns found at his residence nnd
ave himself up without any resistance. On
he way to the police station he dropped In
nd got his nttorney , Mr. .Bell , who signed
bond of $100 with Mike for his nppenrance
londay at 3 o'clock ,

Once Used , they arc Always la Favor.
Assist Nature a little now nnd then , with

ing offending matter from the etomach nnd

and quickening its tardy action , nnd you
thereby remove the caule of n multitude of
distressing diseases , tuch ) , ns headaches , in

tion , piles , fistula and maladies too numer
ous to mention.
If people v/ould pay more attention to
properly regulating the action of their
bowels , they would have less frequent
occasion to cajl for their doctor's ser
vices to subdtic attacks of dangerous dls-
cases.
That , of all known agents to accomplish
this purpose , Dr. Picrcc'o Pleasant Pellets
arc uncqualcd , is proven by the fact that
once used , they are always In favor. Their
secondary effect is to keep the bowels open
and regular , not to further constipate , as is
the case with other pills. Hence , thcirfrrcat

constipation , piles and Indigestion.
They absolutely cure sick headache , bill-
