Cime Forcibly.
The city's financial Integrity was assaulted
and defended by fierce floods of oratory all
day yesterday , and throughout It nil Judge
Orcen sat Imperturbable , but not Impene
trable , for bo showed that ho quickly caught
all of the fine , poluts brought out by the ar
guments ot the attorneys In the case of Shca
application for a writ of Injunction Vcatrain
ing the payment of n largo block ot Inter
section paving and sewer bonds and about
$140,000 worth of outstanding general fund
warrants.
When the case opened yesterday morning
Mr. Shea took advantage of the Intimation
by the attorneys for the city that his pre
sumption of being n taxpayer and his con
sequent right to maintain his milt would be
attacked , and ho took prompt steps to prc-
voc.t . being nonsuited on the technical
grounds that ho was not a taxpayer. Ho was
relying upon the belief that some of the loU
formerly owned by himself had escaped the
general ruin that had carried away all of
his other propsrty. When ho learned that
the taxboolts of the county would bo brought
Into court showing that for the last two
years ho had not been assessed for any prop
erty , real or personal , ho filed the following
remarkable affidavit In the olllco of County
Auditor Matthews :
To J. M. Matthews , County Auditor : I , 3.
J. Shon , bclns duly sworn , depose and say-
that 1 am the owner of personal property
In the city of Council HltilTs und tubjccL do

tion of $ SOO. That I was the owner of the
? nmo and It wan subject to taxation on the
1st day of January , 18U7 , and at all limes
since ; that It consists of the followliiK :
Household property and books , fSOO ; onu
horse , WO : total , JSIO. That by oversight and
mistake this was left oft the tax books for
thn year 1SK7 , and I now ask that you , ni
auditor , enter the same on the tax books
before the same are turned over to the1
treasurer and charge the proper tax to mo
on IMo books. J J. SHEA.
Sworn to before the Clerk of Court.
GETS HIS NAME DOWN.
Auditor Matthews received the affidavit
with considerable satisfaction and cheerfully
complied with the request of Mr. Shea , and
that gentleman will huvo the pleasure of
seeing bis name on the debit side of the
county tax books to the amount of about $30.
Shoitly after the attention of the court was
called to the filing of this allldavlt Mr. Shea
concluded to further strengthen and fortify
his case by amending his petition. This he
did by making Mrs. James , wlfo of Judge W.
C. James , a plaintiff In the suit. The amend
ment of the petition was strenuously opposed
by City Attorney Hazelton , and bis objection
to Its admission was sustained by the court.
The court held that Mrs. James could not
bo made a party to the application at this
period of the suit , and that her case was - .
separate ono and must stand on Its own
merits.
Mr. Shea proved to bo a deeper delver Into
the tomes of supreme court decisions than
the attorney who represented Jim Madden In
a similar suit a few years ago , and lie made
a much stronger ese to sustain his demand
for a sweeping Injunction. His principal con
tention was that every dollar of special as
sessment bonds which had been Issued by the
city to pay for the grading , sewering and
paving of streets and charged up to the abut
ting property were Just as much an obligation
of the city'and a part of the general Indebted
ness as any bond that could bo Issued , despite
the fUct that the city only undertook to guar
antee the services ot Its tax collecting ma
chinery to recover the amount annually due
from the property owncrs _ und pay It over
to the bondholders. Ho brought forward
many decisions to support his claim , ono of
which was peculiarly ---.ipllcablo to the pres
ent case. A largo part of the forenoon was
consumed by Shea In his argument.
TANTAMOUNT TO REPUDIATION.
At the beginning of the afternoon session
Attorney Maynq , City Attorney Hazelton's
law partner , began the argument In defense
of the city , and It was after 4 o'clock when
the city attorney began to speak. Mr. Hazel-
ton's argument was ono of the most carefully
prepared and the strongest ho has made since
ho has hold the olllce. Ho announced that ho
felt the gravity of the situation ; that he
realized the honor of the citizens and the
reputation of the city wcro Imperiled ; that
tha opportunity was given for the creditors
of the city who had listened to the Impor
tunities of the city's financial agents und
had Invested In good faith their money to
receive an Injury that might bo as ruinous
to many of them as It would be to the city.
Ho asserted that the application was nothing
moro than an appeal to the court to enjoin
the payment of outstanding bonds not yet
duo and for which ample preparations had
been made to pay ; to encourage the city to
repudiate $140,000 of outstanding warrants ,
which eastern pcoplo had taken and advanced
the money on to enable the policemen , fire
men and all other city employes to receive
the pay for their dally labor , and In short to
encourage and permit a general repudiation
that would bo moro Infamously dishonorable
than It Is unnecessary. Ho called attention
to the great reduction of the bonded Indebt
edness that had ben paid off before It was
due , and tbo condition of the funds at the
present time , which will permit still further
reductions under the optional payment
clauses In the bonds. In the eastern money
markets the financial credit of the town was
such that never had a bond been sold In re
cent years at a discount , and the payment
of no bond or Interest coupon bad over been
defaulted. Ho urgued that tbo granting of
the prayer of the petitioner would mean the
ruin of the city's credit , the stagnation of
all of Its energies , the parallzlng of all of Its
enterprises. Concerning the special assess
ment bonds he maintained that the tax levied
against the abutting property owners to pay
them off was as much a part ot the city's
regular current revenues as the 10 mill tax
In the general fund.
The concluding speech of Mr. Shea waa
fully as spirited as the argument of Mr.
Hazlcton. The time had pawed the usual
hour for adjournment before ho reached a
conclusion. The caeo was ended by an order
of the court permitting the attorneys to fllo
briefs , which will bo considered with the
evidence and arguments.

Point In I.iiTf.
Tn arguing the county school eupcrln *
tendency mandamus case the attorneys for
the plaintiff announced a new proposition of
law that attracted a good deal ot attention
at the tlmo and has since been the subject
for discussion. An objection that constituted
a part ot the defence wag the fact that Saw
yer did not hold n teacher's certificate Issued
by the county superintendent of Pottawutta-
mlo county and h.id consequently failed to
properly qualify himself as n candidate for
( he office. Attorney Chambers , who , arguing
the case when this objection was made , al
most took away the breath of the attorneys
for the canvassing board by announcing that
the candidate not only was not required to
hold the local certificate , but that he need
not even bo a citizen or qualified elector of
the county. Ho may llvo In Harrison county ,
or any other county ot the state , And If the
people ot the county desire to elect him to
any of the/ / offices within the county there Is
no provision In the state constitution or In
the statute book that will prevent them , and
that his election will bo legal and his official
acts beyond question ) by the courts.
"Do you mean to lay that down as u prop
osition of law ? " Inquired Mr. Slins with evi
dent surprise.
"I do ; and I state further , " said Mr. Cham
bers , "that every officer In this county and
city can legally bold his office and legally
execute all of Its functions and ho a citizen
and remain a citizen of any other county In
the state , and I challenge you to show mo
anything to the contrary. "
Tha court looked at the attorney In some
surprise , but made no comment. The propo
sition has attracted enough Interest to sot a
number ot attornsys digging Into the state's
constitution and the code , but without being
able to discover anything upon which to
ledge an objection to the soundness of the
legal proposition.

cure , as the strip of trad : on the Chicago ,
Hock Island & Pacific railway mnln line , be
tween Marno and Walnut , at O'Nell's hill ,
known by every man between Chicago and
Omaha as the "Devil's Elbow , " Is no more.
No place on the system did the trainmen
dread more than at the "Devil's Elbow , "
where within a mile on n steep grade wcro
two six-degree reverse curves. Work ol
straightening the railroad track commenced
over a year > igo , and was practically finished
last week , and the last man to leave the

DUBUQUE. la. , Nov. ID. ( Special. ) The
brewers of this city fear thcro Is trouble
ahead for them , since It has just been dis
covered that the liquor manufacturing law
in the new code does not in express te'ms
mention cities under special charter , notwith
standing a general statute provides that laws
relating to cities do not i elate to cities under
special charter unless that fact Is expressly
stated In the statute. The novelty of the
sl'uation ! s that all brewers In Iowa are lo
cated In cities under special charters and the
bill from fl'st to last was In charge of tnc
representatives of such cities.
