There promsea to be a conflict between the
city and the state authorities as represented
In the persons of the jark commissioners on
ono side and the deputy game warden on
the other. The trouble has arisen over the
order given Saturday by the commissioners
permitting Gllb'crt Ilrothcrs to take fish from
Dig lake- for the purpose of stocking the largo
reservoir they have constructed In the vicin
ity of the lake. Yesterday Deputy Game War
den and Klsh Commissioner Carbee served
nottco on Gilbert Brothers that be would ar
rest and prosecute them or any persona work.
Ing for them 1C they attempted to take ad
vantage of the permission given by the park
commissioners. In the olllclal notice he gave
them he notified them that the waters of the
lolco ore within the jurisdiction of the state
and subject ip the fish protective laws. To
get the fish for the purpose of stocking the
Gilbert lake It will bo uccnsary to USD a
large seine , and under the state law this can.
not bo used for any purpose.
Gilbert Urotliers promptly shoved the no
tice served upon them Into the waste basket
and Informed the emissary of the law that
they would proceed today to work under the
direction of the park commissioners and take
as many fish from the lake by the uoa of a
net ns they saw fit or considered to be neces.
sary to properly stock the largo and deep
body of water they have created. The flsht
commissioner notified them that he would been
on hand with a suitably force of assistants
to properly enforce the law.
The park commissioners scout the Idea
that the state has any claims on the lake
and announce that they had about reached
the decision of calling a halt In the Inter
ference of the state with the management
of the park property. The lake lies almost
wholly wlthlib the boundaries of the tract
o ! government land deeded to the city by
the federal government several years ago ,
and which extends across the 'Missouri ' river
and takes up a portion of the land In East
Omaha. The land was secured through
Colonel W. < V. linpp when ho was a member
of congress from the Ninth district and the
deed runs to thu city In. the name of the
park commissioners. The commissioners as-
licrt their belief that the federal government
Is somewhat bigger than the state of Iowa
after the fish commissioner and all of his
deputies have been added and they main
tain that the deed from thu United States
gives them absolute control over the lake
and make It as much a part of the city's
property and under the jurisdiction of the
park commissioners as the fountain in Bay-
llss or the basin in Falrmount park. They
will .back . Gilbert Uros. and will sustain
their orders.
Dpputy iCafbee asserts that under the In
structions of Judge Green and the Interpre
tation of the fish protective laws then given
he has no other course to pursue than to
promptly arrest any persons who go Into
the lake with a seine and says he will
execute the law.
There Is little doubt that the fish will
perish If left In the lake this _ winter , but
Carbee Is persistent and can , easily make
himself and the law ridiculous If he so
elects.

The blenclal report of the three state mine
Inspectors just filed with the governor ,
shows that Iowa's mining business is not
as good asit ought to 'be and that sharp
competition has made the 'business ' much
leas attractive than formerly. During the
apst two years there was taken from the
358 coal mines of the state 7,325,224 tons
of coal , valued at $9,534,677. There was
paid lu. this period In wages to miners the
sum of $5,642,342 and $2,161,764 to other
persons connected with the mines or bus-
li'css. The number of miners employed was
3,483 and other persons 2,987. , The average
price paid per ton for mining was 77 cents
'and the average selling 'price ' 'per ton of the
product at the mints was $1.30. The ex-
'penso of trackage at the mines and other
Incidental expenses amounted to $687,91)3. )
Inspector Thomas of the Third Inspection
district says in his report that close com
petition has caused stagnation In business
and prices have been sliding down until
they cease to be remunerative either
operator or minor. Still ho reports that
despite the adverse circumstances that the
trade has had to contend with In the last
two jears and the unflattering outlook for
the business , there have been nine now rail
road mines opened since the last report In. .
the district , the operators "basing " their hopes
of success presumably on the ground of a
probable return to more prosperous times.
With only three mines worked out and
nbandcncd It leaves a gain of six railroad
mines since the last biennial report. The
iaw enacted 'by the Twenty-sixth general
assembly to prohibit the sale of Impure oil
for use In the mines has been very satis
factory In Ita results. The only difficulty
the Inspectors have had to contend with In
regard to It la there arc so many firms
that manufacture cheap and Impure oil that
there nre but few 'brands ' that come up to
the required standard and this makes pure
oil a rarity.
Inspector Miller reports that In. the Second
end district the eastern counties of the
state trade , has been better and while
wages have not been higher the miners have
earned more .money. 'Ho suggests a state
board ofr arbitration for all miners' diffi
culties. For the First district the south
ern counties of the state Inspector Camp
bell reports generally good sanitary condi
tions 'Many of the miners have not oper
ated to exceed one-third of the time and
business has been very unsatisfactory. He-
cently , however , foreign competition has de
creased and railroad tralllc has Increased ,
giving a 'better ' outlook for the future. There
have been nine mines opened and four aban
doned In the district.

The grand jury lin the district court made
a partial return yesterday , returning thrco
Indictments. In two of these cases the men
Indicted are under arrest. One Is John Klnnc ,
who stole fourteen head of young cattle from
his employer , Solomon McMillan , In Crescent
township , and drove them to the South
Omaha market. Klnne was a farm hand , In
whom the farmer had great confidence and
who was the acknowledged suitor for his
daughter. Klnne wtolu the cattle on Friday
night a week ago , drove them through Coun
cil Bluffs In the night , made the sale In
South Omaha and returned In time the next
day to take the farmer's girl buggy riding
and also to bestow upon her same valuable
presents , purchased with the money ho bad
secured from the sale of her father's cher-
Ishtxl young cattle.
The other Indictment was agalnat J , It.
Stout , charging him with aosault with Intent
to do great bodly Injury upon the person of
Henry Thompson. Doth men are strangers
hero and are thought by the police to be pro
fessional-crooks , who got Into a fight over
&omi ) deal. Three of them were stopping at
at the Tremont house , and the two suddenly
turned on Thompson , who Is a one-armed
man , and were giving him a terrible .beating
when byitandera Interfered to save his life.
There wao no olllcer n sight , but Dog Catcher
Dobion drove along In bis buggy la time to
nee part of the trouble. Ho chaied Stout end
caught htm but the other roan escaped. Doth
men were taken to the city jail. Thompson
refused to testify against Stout , but lufncient
evidence wa secured from other witnesses
to hold him to the grand jury. Thompson

The Board of County Supervisor ! ) mot yes
terday for the purpose of canvassing the
vote cast In the county at > the general elec
tion held lust Tuesday , The work of ac
complishing this Is not of a very onerous
character , for under the law all the mem
bers have to do Is to figure up the rcturnu
as Indicated on < lie backs of the precinct
poll hooka and examine the books to etc
If the returns have been properly entered.
The board has nothing whatever to do with
counting tin ballots. The proceedings were
watched yesterday by a largo number of
Interested candidates and their friends. The
hooks of precinct after precinct wcro taken
up and gone over without making nny
change In the totals or the discovery of any
ecrlouB delinquencies' on the part of the
judges of election until Knox township was
reached. U was discovered that the judges
had made a rather peculiar blunder and
had returned the vote of the precinct that
was cast for the legislative ticket as being
cast for the "judgo of the district court
to fill vacancy. " The error arose from the
fact that the judges had used the wrong
blank space In the back of the book to re
cord the legislative vote. No candidate was
'being voted as Indicated , and County Attor
ney Saundcrs was called upon to state the
law. He decided that the vote must r.tanu
as returned and that the legislative vote
was lost. This will not affect the result ,
as the majority for Putnam nnd Potter , the
two republican candidates , was so largo that
the loss of ono township will not bo no
ticed.
No other changes were made until the
board reached the icturns from the Second
precinct of the Third ward , when It was dis
covered that n clerical error had robbed
William Arnd of eleven votes. The correc
tion gives the coveted ten votes to bring hla
plurality up to 1,000 , with ono to spare. In
the Second precinct of the Sixth ward ,
otherwise Cut Oft Island , some serious dis
crepancies were discovered which may rif
sult In e'cctlng Prof. Paulson county super
intendent. On the face of the total returns
Prof. 11. W. Sawyer still has five more votes
than his opponent , but the returns from
this precinct showed that only two of the
judges had signed the book. The returns
also failed to show that the oath had been
properly certified. All of the Judges had
signed the oath but had failed to give the
certificate to that effect which the law re
quires. The Judge who failed to sign the
returns Is George Cooper. Under the law.
If strictly Interpreted , either ono of these
grave omissions will Invalidate the returns ,
and If the precinct Is thrown out Sawyer
will be defeated. Of the total vote cast on
the Island he received twenty-seven nnd
Paulson six. Sawyer's attorney was pres
ent and listened to the discussions of the
board concerning the propriety of throwing
out the precinct. The members had about
reached the conclusion to think over the
matter until this morning , when the attor
ney gave them futther reason for doing so
by filing a request for a continuance to per
mit him to look Into the law and be hoard
In the matter. It will bo settled when the
board meets again for the purpose this
morning. It is scarcely regarded as prob
able that the precinct will be thrown out.
HUHI.VHM < I'liI-iASED TO ESCAPE.
PoMtnl Clerk Exonerated by tlic Cn -
ture of tiltItenl Thief.
Postal Clerk IJrlll returned yesterday from
his week's run over his route between Coun
cil Bluffs and Ogdcn nnd received n second
edition of congratulations from his friends
over the discovery of the thief who got away
with the $15,000 money package that was
lost In Uio malls. Brill had nn Interview with
the thief , Walter Houghton , In the Cheyenne
Jail. He said he discovered the oversight of
Brill when his fellow postal clerk was check
ing over 'to him the registers at 'the ' enj of
his run ut Cheyenne. Brill was handling the
pouches and be called ! check when ] the extra
pouch was delivered to him. He coolly In
formed 'Brill he had made up his mind sev
eral months ago to steal a pouch and was
only waiting nn opportunity , which came very
opportunely when ho discovered the extra
pouch that Brill had neglected to enter upon
his book. Mr. Brill learned while In Cheyenne
enno tbit It would bo Houghton's plan to
escape punishment by feigning Insanity. His
work In connection with the whole trans
action , ho thinks , was so coarse that It will
entitle him to make the plea that he be
lieves will save him. Ho will bo arraigned
for trial on November 12. The federal grand
jury meets on November 11 and It Is certain
that on Indictment will be returned against
the Foster woman , who Is under arrest as
an accessary before and after the fact.
Houghton will be indicted upon twenty-one
counts , with penalties attached aggregating
105 years of imprisonment. Houghton told
Brill that he expected to get off with a sen-
tene of lees than two years If he wus not
acquitted. It Is expected that the case will
bo tried before Judge Ulner.
The loss of the large money pdckage has
called public attention to the large amounts
of money being transmitted through the
malls. Observation at the transfer depot In
this city gives a still better Idea of both tfoo
enormous suma of money that It ) being dally
carried In the mall cars and the utter ab
sence of any sort of protection. For the last
month or two shipments of gold have aver
aged from 300 to 3,000 pounds each week.
Ono day last week 2,100 pounds of gold ) coin
were transferred hero from the Burlington
mall cars. On another day 1,900 pounds went
through. It was handled the same as any
other mall matter Is handled. Packages
weighing 300 pounds were placed In each
registry pouch. In transferring the bags one
of .them dropped between the cars. It waa
necessary to cull for extra help to lift It
out of the dark hole Into which It had fallen.

A petition was received from property own
ers and residents on Twelfth nvsnuo between
Seventh and Eighth streets asking for an
extension of 'tlio time for the construction
of brick sidewalks In front of their prop
erty until May 1. The , special commutes

A communication was received from rssl-
dents living In the portion of the city con
tiguous to the line of the Chicago & North

lownl Comment.
Sioux City Journal : Iowa republicans , It
appears , when only half awake can beat
the Combined sllvcrltcs.
Iowa City Republican : Shaw's vote Is
10,364 majority over all candidates and 30-
472 plurality over White.
Des Molnes Leader : The passage of a
manufacturing hill that will manufacture Is
the duty of the coming legislature.
Ottumwa Courier : The future Iowa Jury
has It onto the court reporter. The re
porter , under the new voile , must take down '
everything the Jury has to listen to.
Dc-s Molnes Capital : If the republicans of
Iowa can lay thu democrats out as they
did this year , without half trying , what
could they do It they were In dead earnest ?
DCS Molnes News : The weakness of pop
ular government Inheres In the fact that
the worst man's vote counts for as much
as the ihest man's. And the danger Is In- j
tcnslficd by the fact that the worst mar.
sometimes votes more than once. |
Davenport Democrat : iMr. White received
more votes , 'by about -100 , lu this congres
sional district than Mr. Shaw. A year ago
Mr. McKinley received 4 ISC more votes In
the Second than iMr. ilirynn. This Indicates
a decided change , 'but ' It can be mostly ac
counted for by the gold democrats of Scott
coun.ty . who voted for iMcKlnley but who did
not vote for White. Whore the votes will
go next year will depend very largely on I
the issues. |
Des Molnes Lender : Attention has largely
ben. called to the fact that at the recent
election In Iowa the democrats did much
better for legislative candidates than for the
head of the ticket. On the head of the
ticket the democrats carried but twenty
legislative districts , represented by twenty-
four members ; whereas the total number of
democratic members of the lvwer house
elected is thirty-eight , a gain of twelve
members. The silver question entered ICFS
Into the candidacies for members of the
house than It did for the governorship , and .
'
In view of this fact the greater legislative
gains arc certainly significant.
