Judge McGco gave him a ecn- tcnco of ten days In the city jail , with sev eral meals to consist of bread and water.

Mayor Carson notified the members of the city council yesterday that a special ses sion of the city legislature had been called for this evening , The aldermen have been called together upon the representations of John W. Paul that ho has some propositions of Importance to lay before them concern ing his schemes in connection with the In dian creek franchise. Ho has received some assurances from the east that his long-de ferred plans and hopes arc on the eve of fruition , The ordinance granted to the Iowa Construction company , which Mr. Paul represents , gave the company the right to transform Indian creek Into a closed sewer and lay a line of railway tracks over It. The ordinance required him to begin work by April 1. Ho will ask tbo council tonight for an extension of the time until October 1. Another ordinance has also been submitted to the city attorney and several of the alder men granting the Council Bluffs Traction company the right of way to lay tracka on all of the streets In the city and operate 'an other street railway system. City Attorney Htuelton has been Instructed to draw up a now ordinance covering the points Uj the draft submitted by Mr. Paul. Mr. Paul says the now traction company Is simply the old Interstate Street Car company revived.

The Information of the public In regard to the merits nnd demerits of the Iowa National Guard Is of the most inai ur character. Tl'ere are presumably people In Council Bluffs who even do not know that there ore within the borders of the slate four regi ments of the well-drilled , uniformed and equipped soldiers , who can be mobilized at any point with In the stale In low than twenty-four hours , and that these four regi ments are composed of young men of high standing In business nnd social circles In their communities , and ciulcered by men of high military and professional ability. The Improvement In the Iowa National Guard In the past four or five years has been most marked. Before that time there was a lack of cohesion , uniformity and mili tary compactness. There were , for Instance , companies maintaining a very high standard of proficiency In the manual of arms and company evolutions , many of whose members had never fired one round of ball cartridge from their rifles * and could not be depended upon In tlmo of need to hit a company front at 200 yards , and whose officers were entirely Ignorant of the manner lu which the comfort nnd health of the eoldtew under their com mand should be cared for In camp or on the march. The great hindrance to the efficiency of the Iowa National guard has arisen from several causes. The greatest has been the apathy and neglect of the legislature In fallIng - Ing to make appropriations. For Instance , company L. of the Third regiment at Council Bluffs at one time was paying $1,200 a year for. armory rent , of which the state gener ously contributed ? 50. The allowance for armory and drill room rent Is being gradually Increased , and It H to lie hoped the day U not far distant when this state- will adopt the policy of eastern slates and make the service less of a financial burden to the citi zen soldier than It Is now. . There Is- now a state rifle- range , and a state officers' school , something that the earnest working soldier of five years ago would have considered , too good to be hoped for. A great drawback to the efficiency of the service has arisen from what Is known as the "dress uniform. " The dress uniform Is of no .service al all except tor the purpcse of parades and display. Many have gene FO far as to say that oven for that purpose It Is hideously ugly. Hut to the man In the ranks , who looks forward to art officer's com mission as a reward for faithful and painstaking service , It very often proves an Insuperable obstacle to his advancement. It takes away the stimulus of hoped-for promo tion as a reward of good service and deprives the guard of service as officers by many young men highly qualified for the positions. This Is because the officer has to buy his uniform from his own private purse. His uniform , cap , hat , sword and overcoat entail on him an expense of ? 7G or $100. When to this Is added the expense of dress coat , helmet , knots , dress sword belt and other Items , it compels him to pay Initially for the privilege of sen-Ing his state from $150 to $200. For this reason companies are often found earnestly seeking some ono who can ouilt himself and Is willing to do so In order that they may bestow a commission on him. Many a first sergeant of long experience and great ability has been elected -by his com pany as lieutenant or captain and compelled to decline the commission on account of tbo expense to which he would bo subjected. WILL REMOVE THE EVIL. This evil Is about to bo removed. The line officers of the state are practically unani mous against it. Inspector General Lincoln has recommended Its abolition , and If only certain birds of paradise of the p'.aff can be persuaded to forego their lady-killing plunmgo the reform will be ac complished. If this Is done the money used by the state in buying the dress uni form for the cnllste < l men can bo used for other things with much greater benefit to the Eorvlcc. The third great hindrance has been the lack of military spirit throughout the guard and the lack of military methods by Its higher officers. A few years ago Lieutenant Harry WHklns of the United Etatco army was de tailed as aid to Adjutant General Prime , and the ) two efficient officers have gradually systematized the work of the state's soldiers and brought about a military thoroughness which Is being carried on by General Wright , nnd which will In a few years make of the Iowa guardsman as good a soldier as any In the world. Ills work In camp Is now not a mcro holiday. Every detail of service In the field Is carefully looked after. The hilarious elmm battle of days gone by U superseded by a scientific attack by ono part of the force on the remainder. For Instance , during one day of a camp a brigade or regiment dis appears In a known direction. The remain ing regiment or brigade later sets out after them and finds their position only by means of reconnolterlng parties. The march , at tack , and defense ara all made ex actly In the manner they are made In actual war and the troops Instructed In taking advantage of the natural defenses of their positions. STANDARD GETS HIGHER. The Iowa National guard of today Is not nearly what It should be , but It Is Infinitely better than It has ever been before. Flvo years ago an officer who could reconnoiter a section of country and draw a topographi cal map was a rarity. Work of this kind Is now regularly required and In all other branches of military knowledge the stand ard Is being raised. Then , as to the en listed man : Ono cannot sco him In his neat service uniform , campaign hat and leggings without agreeing with General Lincoln that he Is fit for any service and may bo called oil for any duty , The business men of Now York employ young men who are members of the national guard In preference to those who are not and Instruct them that In case their military duties call them from their work every facility will be granted them In the way of leave of absence. The people of Iowa are likely to awake seine day -to a realization that such n policy on their part would bo n great benefit to them , and that -these men who have volunteered to stand between the state and armed violence and riots deserve the aid and encouragement of those whom they stand ready to protect.

There has been considerable speculation and some apprehension In democratic circles concerning the ultimate decision of L. A , Dovlno In regard to the nomination for aldorman-at-largp. His friends have been declaring for the last two days that ho would not accept the nomination , but the demo cratic managers assort that they had his consent before Ms name wan proposed In the convention on Tuesday night. Mr. Devlne la out of the city , and has been since the morning following the convention. Ho left on ono of the early trains on a brief busi ness trip , and It Is said that the story of his refusal to make the fight conies from uonio of his friends who stand very close to him , and to whom ha expressed Jilmsclf on tlio way to the depot Wednesday morning. Mr. Devlne was undoubtedly the strongest nomination his party could make , and If he declines the honor It will bo a sad blow to the party , Mr , Devlno's friends clalnr- that his business Intercuts are suc-Ji that he can not afford to give the necessary time to properly look after the city's business In the council. It U probable , however , that the prcttiiiro upon Mr. Devlue will bo RO great that ho cannot refuse , to make the race. Forty Domestic soap wrappers art ) good for six silver spoou * .

Two large trunks , supposed to bo filled with the finery and property oC Mrs. Nlblo , of the llumpty Dumply asgregatlon that went to pieces In South Omaha , were brought to the police station last night , and are being held for further developments. llumpty Dumpty got Its last hard fall In South Omaha last Saturday night. Imme diately after the curtain fell Manager Car- berry took possession of a lot of scenery and two of the trunks and left with the leading lady , Miss May Crpmer , well known In this city. The absence of the manager was discovered shortly after ho left , and the disappearance of the scenery and the trunks was unmistakably connected with his departure. The South Omaha police wcro notified , and In turn notified the Bluffs officers , asking for the arrest of Carberry on the charge of burglary , and declaring that a warrant was In their hands for 'hla arrest , Within an hour another message was received withdrawing the order , Subsequent , - sequent developments showed that the Omaha police were beautifully con- fldcnccd. A man came Into the headquarters and announced himself as the representative of the Nlhlos and stated that Mrs. Nlblo had Just received word from the manager , and that everything was all right. At his request the charge and war rant wcro recalled. This man was either Carberry himself or a confederate , for Ibo Xlblos were very anxious at the. tlmo and are still desirous of getting hold of him , On Tuesday a search warrant was Issued by a local justice and the missing scenery v-os found on the promises of Miss Cromer's stepfather In this city. This made Uo police moro than ever certain that the tiunks were also In Council Bluffs. The stepfather was urged to assist In finding them and promised to do so. Yesterday ho notified the officera that ho heard where the trunks could be found and would give them the desired In formation. While they wcro patiently waitIng - Ing for It ho brought the trunks to the sia- tlon himself. The Information comes from Miss Cromer's friends that she and Carberry are in Den ver. All of the stolen property luls now been recovered and It is probable that the criminal charge will not bo pressoJ. The genuine Domestic soap wrappers are red.

DniiKcroiiN Mmlinaii llcpoi-lcil to Have Siiccuiiilicil ( o ] | | H Miilnily. Telegraphic advices from Superintendent Hoyt of the Insane asylum at Clarlnda yesterday announced the death of Omer N. Congar , the Insane man who gave the author ities iiero so much trouble and who was taken to the hospital on the first of the week. No particulars were given of the cause , and It Is supposed that the man con tinued to grow more violent until the fear ful paroxyms ended In death. Sheriff Mor gan had great difficulty In getting the man I from the county Jail to the Clarlndi hos- j pltal. Ho had two assistants , County Clerk Reed , who desired to visit the hospital , and Dave McKcy. Conger was a man of gigantic stature , and he used his great strength with raanlccal fury. He became dangerously vicious and on the way down terrorized all of the pcsscngers on the train. H was nec essary to bind him with the strongest straps and use every precaution to prevent him doing serious mischief. When the train reached Vllllsca , where another railway waa to bo taken , It was necessary to remove the straps. This was no sooner done than the unfortunate man made a break for liberty. There were abouti seventy-five people on the depot platform , but he had It clear In a minute , and before ho subsided he had taken the three men who had charge of him sev eral blocks from the depot and Into a res- . tourant , where a number of sheriffs with other Insane patients wcro quietly awaiting to change cars. Several of these officers as sisted the Council Bluffs men In restraining the madman. When the men finally got him Into the asylum they were completely exhausted. The telegrams received yesterday were forwarded to Harry McFarland , a nephew of the dead man , who lives at Quick. The remains will be sent there for burial. From the little that could be learned concerning the dead man's antecedents It Is known that he formerly lived In Illinois and had spent six months In the Jacksonville asylum. His wife procured a divorce from him , and his friends say his mental affliction waa caused by brooding over domestic troubles. Ho was apparently a well educated man and knew a good deal about electricity , as this was the subject upon which ho talked most frequently. CJOHS TO IAW OVI3U SIX TRKKS. AIIKMH ( .loncNlicll anil JiiIliiH .Kraft Are \fiKhIinrM and Huvt- Uunrrcl. A change of venue was taken In the case of August Joneshlet , charged by his neigh bor , Julius Kraft , with having stolen three cords of wood , and It was tried before Jus tice Burke yesterday afternoon. The evi dence showed that the charge was entirely without foundation and the fact developed that the trouble grew out of a neighbor hood fight. Joncshlct and Kraft a year or two ago purchased a small tract of timber land and received a contract for the deed until the price was paid. It was held In common until the deed was made and was then divided according to agreement. While held In common Joneshlet cut down six trees and converted them Into cordwood. When the land was divided a year ago the portion upon which the trees had stood fell to Kraft. He then attempted to enforce payment for the wood , and falling , filed an Information charging his neighbor and part ner with theft. Justice Burke dismissed the case and taxed the cost to the complaining witness. A special execution was ordered and will bo served If the costs are not paid at onco. The whole bill , outside of the at torneys' fees and Incidentals , amounts to $20.85. The value of the wood In contro versy was only $ G. IliiNlncNS TronlilcN for a Hay. WILMINGTON , Del. , Feb. 19.

( Special Tele gram. ) The senate cotarfiltteo on railroads today held n long mec'Ung , nnd , at the con clusion , voted unanimously to restore tlic parts of the old law which provide for the enforcemenut of the orders of the rallroai commltslon by legal process. The code com missioners inado changes In these laws which , It Is claimed , If they had been nc- ccptcd and enacted Into law , would have destroyed much of the effectiveness of the statutes. The old laws provide that the com missioners , or any prlvatt person , when the railroad violates any regulation of the com mission , may apply t& the court for peremptory writ of Injunction or nny other proper process to enforce the regulations The code commission changed the writ of Injunction to a writ of mandamus and claimed the effect was the same. Lawyers In the legislature declared that n writ of mandamus would nol liavo the same effect , and that the change was a clever schema to practically annull the law. It was also shown that the old law provides that the commissioners may , In the name of the state , take up any case begun by a private party and prosecute It In the name of the t'tate. The code commissioners left this out. It was represented that this was a weakening provision , becau-'o a private litigant could easily bo pacified by a change of the rates or regulations of the road , anil also that a private person could seldom afford to continue a long litigation ngalnat n railroad. Other changed were polntei out , and It waa claimed that a systematic ncrles of changes had been mrdo In the lawa to the advantage of the railroads. It wa < oven charged by some members , notably Senator Hcaly , that It was no less than a conaplracy to deprive the state of the cffectlvuiicsa of its laws. The committee In the senate has agreed to restore verbatim the old law , and the house committee Is agreed. HTATK PAYS TOO MA XV JAMTOItS. Committee of the Iiitvii IIoiiNe INCOV- | DE3 MOINKS.

Democrat IteinaliiN on I lie Ticket. CUESTON , la. , Feb. 19. ( Special. ) The democratic-populist Imbroglio took decisive form yesterday when the populists filed a protest against the name of C. A. Nleincyer being placed on the democratic ticket. It will be remembered that the fu&lonlsts split on the night of the convention. The demo crats flatly refused to play with the populljt brethren. Their reason for so doing waa that they wanted to name the candidate tor mayor , and they knew that the popullsU' ' would outvote them , having previously given them an equal representation In the conven tion. The democratic delegates perceived they had made a bad bargain , especially when they discovered several of their dele gates wqro pledged to support a populist for mayor. Dsnce they refused to participate , and the result was two mayoralty candi dates , C. A. Nlcmeyer being the democratic nominee and F. J. Taylor the populist. This state of affairs has created considerable dis cord , and the populists'today attempted to keep the democratic nominee off the ticket because , as they alleged , the democratic con vention was not regularly called. The mayor , city clerk and ono alderman listened to the evidence and decided that the democratic convention was regular In all Its appoint ments , and decided the name should be left on the ticket.

' I am proud , my fellow citizens of South Carolina , to call to mind that 1 am by birth a Carolinian , but I am moro gratified still to be reminded by the least whlcli you have proposed and to wlilo.li 1 respond of the ( minder fact that you nnd I nru American * , fellow country men of all thesis who live under the ling that Is can-led by "our country's navy. " It IH but a generation IIRO when n licet lloutlng the stars and stripes lay off Churlc-ston harbor. Von greeted that lleet with .shot nnd shell nnd tor pedoes. Tonight another licet bearing t hut fiamo Hug lies off your harbor and you welcome Us gallant otllcers to this magnificent banquet , and not all the search lights in that licet could find In this city of Charleston n single enemy to the union of the HtatcH. All of ns hero this evening , wherever wu may hnvn stood during the civil war , love to recall the deeds done around Charleston In the liravn days from 1S61 to 1MB , whether by federals or con federates. Victor Hugo extols us beyond comparison the contemptuous answer given by the French olllcer to the English general , Pleton , when lip rode up and asked the surrender of n hollow squareof the old guard that was melting away under a deadly lire from all Hides , and writers never tire of telling us of the discipline nnd devotion of the Itoman soldier ns Illus trated by the remains of a centurion dug out from the ruins of Ilerculaneuni. when- , standing erect at his post , he had been overwhelmed by the lava , but beyond am above these seems to mo to stand tin heroism of Lieutenant Dlxon and Captall Carlton nnd the live men who , with a little torpedo boat , sank the Ilousatonlc In these waters. Five times this boat had siltil before she could be brought to bear upoi the enemy , each time all her crew oxcip one. at ono time and three nt another had perished beneath the water but there were always volunteers to mm the little craft. The sixth crew waa sue ccssful. They sank the Housatonle , but for the sixth time the torpedo boat .vent dowi with her crew. When , after the war , the wrecks were being removed the little boa was discovered on the bottom about 101 yards from the Ilousatonlc. Every mm was at hip pout. How happens It that tin licet that blockades Chnie.ston ; harbor h IS7 Is sent here by a secretary who Is ai ex-confederate soldier nnd how does It hap pen that the people of the north and south are better friends and that the prospects of a perpetual union are more assured lodn > than nt any tlmo from the foundation o' our government down to 1M0 ! ? The change linn grown out of the nature of the issues that were at stake In the clvl war and out of the broad-mindedness of the American people. With secession ant slavery both out of the way there was noth ing left to divide the north from- the BonU but passion and prejudice. Mutual respect and admiration took the place of the ha tred and Ignorance that had Inspired the combat. . Our country's new navy , which typifies the might nnd majesty of the union of tin states , was built up by the Joint efforts of those who had supported the confederacy and those who fcml helped to maintain the union. HP snips. Its guns. Its torpedoes are equal to any In the world. Its olllcers rep resent every congressional district In the land ; they represent the bravery and de votion that made such a resplendent record for the armies and navies of the union and of the confederacy. DISPOSE OF A M'MIIEIL OK HILLS. South Dakota House nnd Senate Malm I'rou-rcNM ivllh Lcwrlslndoii. PIERRE , S. D. , Feb. 18. ( Special Tele gram. ) The senate today passed the house bill allowing the commissioners of lands to dispose of lands which come Into pcascs- slon of the state- through the Taylor settle ment at not less than the appraised price , as well as a number of Important bills. In the hous3 bills were Introduced to au thorize the governor to appoint a commis sion of three to frame some revenue plan for the state and to let county printing by bids. Including commissioner proceedings and tax lists. The senate anti-trust bill was amended to exempt labor or ganizations from 1(3 ( provisions , and passed. It provides severe penalties , with fines from $5,000 to $20.000 , one- half to go to the party aggrieved and the other half to the county In which the con viction is secured. Equal suffrage came up again and was put to Its long sleep In gen eral orders , from which It will never be resurrected. The governor returned a tax bill with his veto , stating that it was a dangerous bill and would work just the op posite from the result expected. The veto was sustained' ' with but one dlraentlng vote. The bill was passed to abolish the ofllco of engineer of Irrigation , placing his duties under the control of one of the faculty of the agricultural college , to he selected by the governor. A bill was passed In regard to settlements or railroad companies for stock killed or fires set. All trains are blockaded tonight again , and It will probably take neveral days to clear.

TOo Isolated patter of ono pair of Chlncaa toby feet In a nolsomo "China alley" a few years ago would have caused a flutter , says ho San Francisco Call , Almond eyes , ollvo ukln , jaunty cap , rustling ullken garments , snowy white. little shoes , i braided "pigtail" which out-Hinted Iko u pendulum , long finger nails and tht-ro was the little pagan who plonc-cred a long array of similarly attired other llttlo mganti out from Chinese hovels Into the uunshlnu and fearless freedom In the open air. A native born citizen , the American eagle , seemed not a whit moro proud of ilm ; a native ton , California was ready to repudiate him. Now the patter of ono pair at feet Is succeeded by the sound of legions , n Chinatown's dirty purlieus an Infantile army has been reared , Two yearn ago ho sc/hool census takers found 1,500 Chinese children of school age. There- are not Icfs han 2,000 native Eona and daughters In San Yanclsco'o Chinatown In whoso veins Chl- n-so blood flows , and who are lawful heirs > f American citizenship. A small army of Mongols Is marching leisurely along the- lusty highway of tlmo toward the ultimate mil sure ballot box. This phaeo of tbo Chinese question does lot appear to have liei.n fully comprehended , continues the Call. But not later than the 'uar 1920 at the present birth rate In China- own , and supposing- average conditions re garding mortality to obtain , It Is as clear c anything can be tlmt something like 2,500 native-born Chinese citizens , now rntifitly 'Xing children , will bo entitled to the ballot : San Francisco alone. Sacramento , Stock- on , Los Angeles , San Jose , and In fact nearly ill communities In California , have aluo heir native-born Mongolian babies who are 3ii their way to citizenship , Nut Hta than 4 000 native-born Chinese volcru will t > In the field of polities In 1P20 In California onotiph with an Alliance with some largo tolltlcnl party nm1 with a united front to carry a stuto election , enough to settle a presidential election If California should be the pivotal utato , conceding that th airangth of parties r-houli ! betomcwhut nearly divided. Surely the student of polltlcnl history must sco something serious In this not very re mote contingency. Less than one-quarter of ono century may see dragon flsga flying from the roofs of Chinese Joss houses , from the tops of buildings In which fantan games abide , and from scores of buildings reeking with filth and "smelling to heaven" In cele bration of the election of a candidate of thn Chinese for Rovernor or e\on for president of the United Stales of America or congressman or mayor or supervisor , Thcro may even como A time when bonfire ; will burn In Chinatown and Chinese gungs and other al leged musical Instruments be sounded to catch the Mongolian vo'o ' and wagonn carry up and down the steep ( dopes advlco to Chi- ncse-Amprlcans to vote for Ah Jew or Tom Leo for sheriff or mayor , or some other equally Important office. Chinese , It Is well known , have strong family attachments. The head of a family directs others , who obey him Implicitly. Un questioning obedience gives the Ideal condi tions required for hencltincn of a political boss. Another queer feature engrafted upon the American political system In San Fran cisco will bo the Influence- aged Chinese , who will have power to Insure how numbers of votes will bo cast. The Chinese patriarchs with goat-Ilkc beards will bo the "bosses" of the most approved sort. This Is certain enough. Tin * Two Urdu' * The Philadelphia Times notes n curious coincidence at a quiet family hotel In Phila delphia. One of Its regular natrons Is n mnn from a distant clly. with the rather unusual name of Hoeho. Sometimes his vlsilts nro a month apart ; soimnlim-H only a week. It hnppcns , however , almost In variably that whenever he arrlvcM another gentleman named Horde , from a different city In another part of tac country , comes and registers the unnif dny. Sometimes ono arrives first ; sometimes the other. They do not know each other and have never seen each other , hut each has noticed the coincidence and Inquired adotlt It. Some times one puts off an expected visit , nnd then , strange to sny , something Intervenes to postpone the visit of the other. Them Is no doubt about It being a strange cnso of continued coincidences , and without nny collusion or premeditation. TIIH ItliAliTY MAIIKI3T.
