CALL ON THE COUNTY TO HELP
Local Exposition Committee Cnggests the
Necessity of Assistance.
SUPERVISORS MANIFEST SOME INTEREST
Condition of the Ix > cnl Fond Set Oat
and n Vlult to the Uroanda
Blade Prior to Any
Action ,
A committee headed by President Graham of
the CouncirniufTs Exposition association held
a conference with the members of the Board
of Supervisors yesterday afternoon and made
a statement of the condition ot the building
fund designed for the erection ot the Potta-
\vattamlc wigwam on the exposition grounds.
ThU statement \vas ot such a character that
It fadlcatcl the necessity for financial as
sistance from the county. The matter had
been thoroughly canvassed several weeks ago
and the fact made prominent that there was
n strong feeling on the part ot a majority
of the citizens of the county favorable to
the board making a suitable appropriation
for the purpose of a creditable exhibit ot the
county's products and resources' at the expo
sition. The supervisors yesterday listened
kndly to the suggestions made by Chairman
Graham and no objections or criticisms were
offered. The matter was not presented to the
> 3ard In such a manner that It would call
'or any sort of commitment of the members ,
jut merely the necessity for some act'on ' waa
urged. Every member showed the liveliest
ntorest In the subject , and when the sugges
tion was made that the "board adjourn and ac
company the committee across the river for
the purpose of viewing the exposition 'build
ings the Invitation waa promptly accepted
ind a resolution was passed adjourning the
board for the afternoon.
At 2 o'clock the members nnd the com
mittee took a motor car for Onnha. Nearly
al the afternoon was spent In viewing the
nights around the exposition grounds and the
beard members returned In the evening more
favorably Impressed than ever with the Im
portance of taking prompt action to assist the
wigwam enterprise.
So far no particular amount to bo appro
priated has been suggested , but It has been
ascertained that the Individual members have
flxoj amounts In their minds varying from
$1,000 to $2,000. Either sum would be greatly
appreciated by the exposition committee , but
the latter amount would be received with de
vout thanks. The board will take up the
matter when It meets again this morning.
One or the other of these amounts will bo
appropriated unless the board Is shown that
there Is paltlvcly no warrant In law for It.

SVIT ON ibAXOTRANSACTION.
Jnlitre Smith Henri * Evidence In. n.
Sennntlntial Cnne.
The attention of Judge Smith In the district
court yesterday was taken up with hearing
the evidence In a rather peculiar land trans
action. T."J. Corrothers , the former elec
trician and chief engineer of the Council
Bluffs electric light plant , la the plaintiff
and J. W. 'Morse and C. R. Nicholson , real
cfltatc dealers here , are the defendants. Some
rather sensational testimony was given yes
terday tending to show that Carrothers had
been defrauded of his homestead to this city.
The plaintiff Is suing to have a deed set
aside by which he transferred his homestead
to Morse and Nicholson and received In con
sideration some worthless land In Kansas.
Carrothcrs alleges that the deal abounds In
peculiar transactions that have tended to
shake his faith In mankind.
On the witness stand yesterday ho told a
long and sensational story of the transaction ,
swearing that the defendants InduccJ him to
execute a deed to his property upon the
understanding that the Kansas land was
owned by a client of theirs who lived In
Wyoming , and that the land had already been
sold by them for cash. He testified that he
made several trips with Morse to Omaha In
quest of the man who had bought the land
and who was to pay the cash. This man W
alleges to have been a myth , and that an
Omaha man named Buck assisted In the de
ception. While hunting for the man and
valtlog for his appearance In Buck's office
he alleges that the deed to his property was
obtained possession of and placed on record.
The Kansas land ho avers to be worthless ,
while his own property was worth nearly
2.00D. The transaction occurred In 1895
and has been pending In court ever since.
The defendants deny every allegation of the
plaintiff and swear that neither of them ever
made a trip with him to Omaha. The hear-
ng will be completed today.

was appointed Ir.st year , but after passing
a most creditable scholastic examination was

his studies 'after reaching Annapolis and be
fore submitting to bis examination. His
physician has pronounced his physical con
dition'now to be perfect and his friend's have
no reason to fear that he will again be re
jected. At his scholastic examination his

DES MOINES , April 7. ( Special. ) In case
Governor Shaw of Iowa Is called upon for
troops ha will send the National Guard to
the front and then call for volunteers. The
numerical strength of tbo Iowa National
Guard la 2,700 men. It could bo doubled , by
enlistment of former guardsmen within
forty-elg'ht ' hours. After the National Guard
has been sent to the front It would be the
plan of the governor to call upon the volun
teers who have had considerable drill and
who have a good knowledge of tactics. This
would Include volunteers from the collega
battalions at the University of Iowa , the
State Agricultural college and Cornell col
lege. Each of these battalions has tendered
Ito service to the governor , and from them
500 well drilled men could be obtained. By
using the members of these battalions to
form "skeleton companies" and enlisting
green men to fill up tbe companies a force
of 2,000 men would be obtained which would
require but very little drill to put them In
condition for service.
General James Hugh Lincoln , commandant
of the State Agricultural battalion and a man
who Is considered an authority on military
tactics and strategy by tno authorities of
the War department , has sent the governor
a list of 128 well drilled men who have had
several years' drill and who are anxious to
serve. In tendering their service the olficlul
document says : "Wo respectfully ask as
signment at tbo earliest possible date. "

FOR DEFAMING THE PRESIDENT.
Cnnrt-niartlal Trial of nn Iniunte of a
Solillcm' Home.
iMARSHALLTOWN , la. , April 8. ( Special. )
An unusual proceeding In the matter of
disciplining a resident In the Iowa Soldier's
ihome hero was resorted to this week. For
a time the home was under military dis
cipline , as It were , and a court martial held
full sway over the case of one of the mem
bers , James C. Orr , who Is a sergeant com
manding the Home's gun squad. The charge
for which the defendant was summoned be
fore the court-martial was that he had used
defamatory language In speaking of Presi
dent William McKtnley. The remark came
to the cars of Commandant Horton , who
thought best to hold a court-martial and de
termine what punishment should be given
the defendant. The course was soon decided
upon and after due notice to Mr. Orr a
court was appointed. The method of dis
cipline was thought strange by the defend
ant , as he was unaware that the home waa
under military rule or that a court-martial
had the affairs of the Institution In charge ,
Ho obeyed the summons , however , and appeared -
peared a * , the appointed time. The case
was quite lengthy and about twenty wit
nesses were .examined , the testimony being
taken by a stenographer. The finding wae
posted onthe home's bulletin board as follows -
lows :
In the matter of the trial by court-mar'
Hal , under special order No. 18 , of Jume :
1. Orr , sergeant of gun squad1 , charced wlU
language unbecoming a soldier nnd a gen
tleman .towards President McKlnley , th <
court , after a fair trial nnd due dellbera
lion , fourd him Butlty as charged and sen *
tencexl him ns follows : That he be rcducei
to the ranks ) and. reprimanded by the com'
mandant. .
In approving this finding and sentence , '

IiMvn I'rcHH Comment.
Belle Plalnc Union : We are glad to note
that there Is to be no attempt to have a state
fair this year. The fair at Om ha will bo
fair enough for this year for the middle wedt.
Our turn will come again In 1S99.
Kcokuk Oate City : It Is estimated that
the recent session of the legislature , which
lasted eighty-two dajs , cost the state $141-
752. The new Board of Control law alone
will soon save the entire expense of the ses
sion to the people of Iowa.
Dosne News : Governor Shaw Is evidently
In great demand as an onjtor. In the last
week he has been Invited to deliver sound
money addresses In New York , Rochester ,
Providence and Chicago. The governor feels
that at this critical time It Is Impossible for
htm to accept.
Cedar Rapids Republican : It would take
$50,000 to run a 1C to 1 paper for a year
In DCS Molnea If the piper was to bo an up-
to-dato Journal. There were about fifty
democrats In the last legislature. How
would It be If they were asked to put up
$1,000 apiece as an earnest of their good faith
In the proposition they make to the effect
that a genuine democratic sheet should be
established at the capital ?
