Shall live the name of Hobcrt Burns.
Thus spoke Clansman A. C. Graham as
ho bade a welcome to the guests last night
nt the sixth annual bamjuet and ball of
Clan Stewart , No. 123 , Order of Scottish
Clans , In celebration of the one hundred nnd
fortieth anniversary of the birthday of their
native bard , "Bobbie" Burns.
The banquet , which was attended by some
200 memberi of the clan and their families
and friends , was held In Royal Arcanum
hall , whloh was beautifully nnd elaborately
decorated for the occasion with palms and
potted ferns and other plants. The guests
were sca'cd nt three long tables and Our-
lng the serving of the banquet music waa
furnished by Albln Huster's orchestra.
After an elaborate menu hail been en
joyed a program of addresses and music was
carried out. A. WhVtelaw. chieftain of the
clan , acting as toastmaster.
H. J. Chamber * had been assigned the
principal address of the evening , his subject
being , "Memory of Burns. " He said In
part :
"Primarily , without undertaking to speak
with learning and speaking only from the
Impulse of my own heart by putting myself
In his place , 1 should say the average
Scotchman would love Burns much for the
same reason and In the same manner as he
would chcrlih the name anil memory of
William Wallace. Both were deeply pa
triotic , both were efficacious and effective
In upholding the liberty and light of their
much beloved country. The highest ambi
tion of either was to do his country's serv
ice. The same spirit that 'burnished the
sword of Wallace Inspired the pen of Burns
Scotland loved Burns because Burns loved
Scotland. And It may go without saying
that every true Scotchman would devoutly
love the man whose poetic genius bade him
sing the loves , the Joys , the rural scenes
and rural pleasures of his own native
tongue , and who In response to that calling ,
as he himself saje , turned his wild , artless
notes aa she Inspired.
"Viewed from a purely patriotic stand
point , then , the memory of Robert Burns
Inspired the loftiest panegyric and pralfce.
Oh. there can be no wonder that the name
of Robert Burns carries with it a halo of
glory ! No wonder that with the bare men
tion of hli tame every true son and daughter
of Scotland Is Quickened to love ! No won
der that It carries with It the loftiest praise
from all nations and peoples wherever the
philosophy of hla songs has been heard !
And 'as lone as life bath rorrows and as
long as life hath woes , ' and as long as the
human understanding can drink In from the
Bonnets of his soul-swept lyre , BO long will
the name of Robert Burns be remembered
and cherished among all the peoples of the
earth. "
Dr. Macrae responded to the toast "Queen
Victoria. " but Hon. John N. Baldwin , who
was on the program to respond to the
toast. "Our Country and Our President , "
was unable to be present , having been hiid-
denly called to St. Louis. C. B. Altchlson
Kung "Loch Lomond" In his usual faultless
manner , while C. M. Trophagen rendered
"Mary of Argyle" In a way that stirred the
hearts of the old Scots present. Mrs. Donald
Macrae , Jr. , without whom no "gathering
of the clans" la complete , played a number
of Scotch airs on the piano which wcte
vociferously applauded.
The banjo club , consisting of Mr nnd Mrs.
C. A. Atklni , Misses Kate and Ella Luster ,
W. Woodward and Will McPliercon , ren
dered several selections which were well
received.
At the conclusion of the program the
'nblos were removed and the room cleared
for dancing. The grand march was led by
Piper Campbell In full kilt and tartan , fol

Taken Step * I.ooUliiHT < " Control of
In view of the prevalence of measles In the
city nnd that there are several cases of
smallpox In neighboring towns the local
health authorities have decided that the
ordinances framed for the protection of the
public health and for the restriction and
piovcntioh of contagious diseases bo strictly
enforced.
The city ordinances require that all cases
of contagious diseases must be at once re
ported to the Board of Health , either by
the attending physician or the head of the
family afflicted. This rule. City Physician
Lacey sn > s , Is not being carried out and
blnco the epidemic of measles made Its np-
pearanco In Council Bluffs there has been
a large number of cases which have never
been reported. Acting under Instructions
from the Board of Health. City Marshal
Blxby hag Isccud the following circular no
tice. which will be sent to every physician
In the city :
Owing to the disregard by many of the or
dinances governing Infectious and conta
gious diseases and the fact that said dis
ease n are prevalent in neighboring cities , It
Is deemed essential that a general observ
ance of the ordinances be had that the pos-
Blblllty of a serious epidemic may bo averted
and the necessity of the police authority
enforcing the penalty for non-compllanco bo
avoided.
Section 1 of the city ordinance provides
that It shall be iho duty of every physician
residing or practicing within the limits of
this city to give written notice to the mayor
or the health officer Immediately of any case
of Asiatic cholera , smallpox , diphtheria ,
membraneous croup , scarlet fever , scarlet
rash , scarletlna , typhoid fever , typhus fever ,
measles or other diseases dangerous to the
public health that ho may be called upon to
attend professionally. And any physician
who shall neglect or refuse to give ouch no
tice as herein required within twenty-four
hours after ho shall first visit and ascertain
the character of such diseases herein named
shall be fined In n sum not IPSH than $10
nor more than $25 for each and every day ho
neglects such notice. In all cases where no
plijslclan Is In attendance It shall IM the
duty of any person having charge of or being
at the head of a family or having the care or
custody of any lodging rooms to give notice
In like manner as required herein of phy-
sMana and with like penalty for neglect
or refusal.
Section 7 of the ordinance provides that
during the existence of any contagious or
Infectious disease In any family or house
hold or place In this city and until after
the recovery of the sick ami the disinfec
tion of the premises where such disease
ehall have existed no person resldinc la
such household , family or place shall be
permitted to attend any public or private
school nor any punli place without written
purmlsslon from thu major , countersigned
by the health oflleor , and no superintendent ,
teacher or ofllcer of any school shall permit
any child or person from any such family ,
household or place to attend any school
without a permit from the major counter
signed b > the health olFR-cr , upon the rec
ommendation of the attending physician ,
show Ing thorough disinfection of the per
son , clothing and premises. And any person
who shall knowingly violate any of the pro
visions of thin section shall be fined not lees
than $25 or Imprlsoued not less than five
ilayn.
Opposition to these sections Is unwise and
means nothing less than the spread of In
fectious and contagious diseases , bringing
expense and In many cases death and mis
fortune where It might be prevented.

t > ES MOINK8. Jan. 25. ( Special Tele-
mm. ) The State Board of Control today
closed Its accounts with the state Institu
tions of Iowa for the first six months of
Its administration. The balance sheets show
a credit to thirteen state Institutions under
Its charge In the sum of $92,285.01. whereas
when the board took up Its work July 1 , last ,
there was not. only no balance to the credit
of the Institutions , but there was a largo
deficiency In some places , which was not
offset by the few small credits at a few of
the Institutions. Kver elnco the board took
charge of the affairs thcto has been a
steadily Increasing balance at the end of
each month until last month there was a
Blight falling off after the purchase of winter -
tor supplies.
The J92.285.01 Is found to be a credit after
all the heaviest bills for the year , such a
fuel and other winter supplies , have been
paid and after a few bills for January sup
plies have been taken out. This balance
has been created by the board In the face
of the fact that the per capita allowance of
the hospitals for the Insane , where much the
largest expense Is Incurred , was set at $2 by
the legislature last winter. The January
supplies will probably be nearly as heavy
as those of December , hut nfter that the
balance Is likely to show a steady increase
through the next six months.
Current n\iniHON Come Firnt.
According to a majority ruling of the su
preme court today DCS Moliies hag been
walking In the straight way of the law ,
when It followed the city attorney's coun
sel souio months ago. He advised that a
city of the first class must pay current ex
penses from the revenues of the year In
which they were Incurred , to the exclusion
of other valid prior Indebtedness , for which
warrants have Issued and been presented for
payment and endorsed as unpaid for want
of funds. This ruling Is made In an opin
ion written by Judge Waterman In which
a case from Council Bluffs IB reversed. Chkf
Justice Hobluson and Judge Granger dissent
from the holding on the ground that under
tbo statute all warrants must bo paid In the
order of presentation regardless of the year
in which they may have been drawn.
The case at bar Is that of N. C. Phillip ? ,
who brought action to recover $6.2 ! upon a
warrant drawn on the ecner.il fund of the
city of Council Bluffs , of which W. B. Reed
was at the tlmo treasurer. The warrant
was drawn for supplies furnished the city
during 1898. A mandamus was asked re
quiring the treasurer to pay the claim. Thn
action was dismissed by the district court
of Pottawattamle county and a judgment
for the coats rendered against the plaintiff
on the Kround that there were outstanding
warrants unpaid which bore earlier dates.
The outstanding warrants were for labor
and material furnUiheiV < the city , amounting
to S104.2S0.04. They -vere drawn during the
years 1695 , 1896 and 1897 : were presented to
the treasurer , stamped unpaid and carried
a floating Indebtedness.
The court rules that section 668 of the
Code of 1697 clearly Implies that It Is un
lawful for any city of the lirst class to It&ue
ny warrant or contract or appropriate any
money In excess of annual locally author
ized revenue , though there Is nothing
to prevent It from anticipating Its
revenues for the year for which such ap
propriations are made or from bonding or
refunding or obtaining Indebtedness. Sec
tion S'lS of the Code , which provides for
loans being negotiated , la construed to
mean the placing of municipal corporations
on cash basis and to prevent the accumu
lation of floating Indebtedness , as In the
case at bar.
Should 1'ny Warrant * In Order.
The dissenting opinion relies upon section
600 of the Code , which provides that the
cities and towns ehall pay their warrants In
the order or presentation and In which It Is
held that there is no suggestion that they
shall he registered by the year and paid
from the revenues of the year in which au
thorized.
An explanation from the cntlro court Is
attached to the opinion , stating why it was
withdrawn at the last term of the court as
It was. For aonie reason the council in the
rase failed entirely to say 'that ' Council
muffs was a special charter city until 1881
and that by chapter iv of the acts of the
Twenty-second seneral assembly It would
not come under any of tbo above statutes.
The court states that this point was not
brought to 1U notice until the last term of
the court and If It Is true the question of
Council Bluffs i still open for settlement.

F011T nODGK , In. . Jan. 23. ( Special. )
The widest diversion from church precedent
yet taken by any congieg.itlon of American
Catholics was the outcome of a meeting
held by the members of Corpus Ohtlstl In
thU city last Sunday attetnoon. The mem
bers of the parish are ultra-llberalists In
their Ideas of church goeminent. . By the
action of the meeting Punday afternoon
Fattier Burke , the pu-scnt priest , Is prac
tically placed upon a salary nnil turns over
to the committee appointed all control of
chinch nuances except pew rontnlx.
The most pronounced move of all , as a
precedent against eccleslastlclsin , Is the
agreement that the committee Is to assume
charge of the cemetery , lo sell lota and
money derived from this source will be expended -
ponded in beautifying the cemetery. The
committee will Incorporate under the laws
of the state , after which they will submit
their plans to Archbishop Jotin Ilennessy of
Dubuque for his permission. In case he re
fuses to recognize their action they will
petition the legislature of Iowa to compel
the archbishop. In whose name all property
rests , to deed over to the committee the
property ns pr.iy.ed for.
This Is the result of n strife that has ex
isted between the members of the church
and the church authorities. It In the final
ending of a. contest that was started by the
people appealing to Monsignor Martlnclll , thu
papal delegate at Washington , against the
recent division of the pariwh by Archbishop
Ilennessy and brought to a climax by Father
Patrick Burko's attempting to conduct a ba-
/anr to raise funds for church purposes
against the wIshcH of a. large number of the
members. The bazaar has been a failure
from a financial standpoint , due to a quiet
boycott that was Instituted by the male
members of the congregation.
The meeting Sunday was called by Father
Butke , who had concluded to accede to the
demanilH of the committee , and turn over the
sum realised from the bazaar and all funds
fioni the other sourceb , except the pew
rentals , which he will reserve In lieu of a
salary , and promise * to no longer Interfere
with the future llnanclal management of the
church. Ills action In the matter of plac
ing so much In the hands of his congrega
tion is liable to bring down upon him a rep
rimand from Archbishop Hennessy.

MASON CITY. ' la. , Jan. 25. ( Special
Telegram. ) It now looks as If the case
against Lottie M. Hughes for tho- murder of
her husband was to depend largely on medi
cal testimony. In the line of expert evi
dence Dr. C. P. Smith , formerly of Chicago ,
was called by the- state , and when the
symptoms of the death were described to
him ho said they strongly resembled that of
strychnine poisoning.
In the cross-examination the theory of the
defense was strongly brought out. They will
account for the strychnine through the em
balming fluid used and for his death by
tetanus , or lockjaw. Anticipating this move
the state long ago commenced to fortify It
self and the testimony of some of the strong
est medical experts available will bo of
fered.
The defense will attempt to establish also
by strong medical testimony that the symp
toms of tetanus and strychnine poisoning are
almost Identical. The heart disease theory
of the defense had to bo abandoned as the
state took precautions to take the heart and
preserve It at the time the postmortem was
held. The defense Is a lltlo handicapped be
cause of the testimony now offered by
Prof. Halnes of Chicago and Dr. Sml'h
that they made examination of the exterior
of the stomach and could not find an In
cision. The embalming fluid could not ha\e
been absorbed Into the stomach if Prof.
Halnes' testimony Is conclusive.
Jesse Goude , the state's witness , was dis
missed today without a flaw in his three
days of testimony.

JudRo Thompson could be served on him.
A carriage was In walling at the back of
the Jail to take Wilson to Iowa City , the
plan being to get him away before tlic
papers could ho served. The project failed ,
however , and Wilson was taken before Judge
Thompson , where a continuance In the hear-
Inc was taken for one week. Officers will
como from Mississippi and every effort will
bo made to prevent his escape , as It Is cer
