ACTION TAKEN AT LARGE MASS MEETING Arrnnftcnicnd * Committee of Tlilrty- Tlirce to Ilo Appointed 'itcprciiciit- Knch of till ! TJMVIIH Which Furnlnhcil a Company. The first steps looking toward making the necessary preparations for the reception of the Fifty-first , regiment on Its arrival In Council Bluffs wore taken at the mnsb meeting held last night In Odd Fellows' hall. It the attendance and enthusiasm dis played are any Indications , it will not bo the fault of the people of this city If the welcome1 to the soldiers on reaching the soil of their native state is not ouo be fitting the occasion. Tbo crowd filled the largo hall and during the proceedings the greatest enthusiasm and Interest were ruruil- | fcstcd. Among these present were the women of the Srfnltnry Relief commission In a body , many veterans of the Grand Army of the Republic and members of the Women's llellof corps , representatives from the different social and fraternal organiza tions and a number of citizens prominent In every profession and business. It was unanimously decided that the re ception to the Fifty-first Iowa should be a statowldo affair and not a local demon stration only. With this end in view it was suggested that an executive committee of thirty-three members , composed of the mayors of each of the cloven towns repre sented by companies In the regiment and two citizens from each such town be formed for the purpose of taking charge of the arrangements. This was suggested by Hon. John N. Baldwin and at once found favor with the meeting. The matter of com municating with the respective mayors of the otber ten cities and towns was left to Mayor Jennings and the two membars of the committee from this city that ho will appoint to servo with him. The meeting was called to order by Mayor Jennings , who , after briefly explaining the purpose for which It had been summoned , called upon Emmet Tlnloy to preside. Mr. Tlnley , wbo was received with much en thusiasm , made a short patriotic address , in which he urged the necessity of making the reception a state wldo one and not a purely local one. Ho oald : "This Is to be a state reception , as broad and great as the state of Iowa , not confined to the limits of town or county , but taking In the \vhoio of 'tho ' state of Iowa , glorious Iowa , the hearts of whose people are throb bing with joy and expectation at the home coming cf their gallant soldier 'boys. ' The fact that Council Bluffs is awarded the great distinction of first receiving the regi ment Is bccauso of Its geographical posi tion , lying as It does on the western bor der of the state. Prom this city by a direct route every member of the regiment can reach his home , where fond ones await 'to receive him , and for this reason Council Bluffs has been selected for the great demonstration when the boys of the Fifty- first shall first tread the soil of their na- tlvo state , their beloved Iowa. " In con clusion , he called attention to the neces sity of organization and work on the part of the citizens to make the reception a success. Mr. Tlnley was followed by Congressman Smith McPherson , who urged the absolute necessity of the demonstration being a state-wide one. Ho eald that in bis opinion on the day of the arrival of the regiment this city -would have In Its gates the largest , crowd In Its history since the time It was known by the name Kaneavllle. C. M. Hart and Jacob Slmn also made short addresses and then Mr. Baldwin was called upon and at his suggestioa it was decided to form the executive committee of thirty-three. At his suggestion also a local executive commlt- tee to bo named by Chairman Tlnley Is to befornicd. The makeup of this committee will bo announced by Mr. Tlnley some time today. This committee will appoint the necessary subcommittees. Mr. Baldwin In his address called atten tion to the fact that in addition to the re ception to the returning regiment , the people of this city would have other duties to per form. The crowd In tbo city on that occa sion , ho said , would bo so great that the ho tels and restaurants would be entirely in adequate to provide for the wants of tbo visitors and that every social , fraternal and church organization In the city should make arrangements to provide refreshments for the visitors. This would necessarily , he stated , bo a matter of business and the vis itors would naturally bo expected to pay for their refreshments. After some Informal discussion tbo meet ing adjourned.

Among the grist of "bootlegging" In dictments returned by the federal grand Jury yesterday was ono of more than or dinary Interest on account of the circum stances of the case. The party Indicted was C. W , Sherman , a traveling man In the employ of the United States Supply company of Kansas City. Sherman's busi ness was mainly transacted in what are known In Iowa as "dry" towns , that Is , towns where the mulct law Is rigidly en forced and saloons are not permitted to thrive openly , with the result that numer ous "blind pigs" flourish , In order to accommodate this particular kind of trade Sherman took orders for wet goods which were shipped Into the state From Kansas , City in what the law designates " . " The business nates as "original packages. ness when carried on in this way was not In violation of Uncle Sam's Internal rev enue laws. Sherman , however , collided with tbo federal government when , as IB al leged , be devised a scheme whereby the delay Incidental to the shipping of the goods from tbo home bauso on each order received could bo avoided. In order to have a supply of wet goods on hand In the towns that bo did business in Sherman had a number of "original packages" shipped C , O. D , by express to William Brown , John Jones , Jack lloblneon , or any fictitious name that first came Into his head. The result was that the packages of liquor re main uncalled for.At tbo express office and this gave Sherman a supply ready at band when needed , As soon as bo would make a ualo he would give the purchaser an order on the express agent for one or more of tbo undelivered packages , It wag here that Sherman found trouble and the federal olllccrs swooped down on him , charging him with selling liquor with out a government license. The particular offense for which Sherman was arestcd oc curred at Mount Ayr. He was taken before - fore Commissioner Mason at Des Moiaei and bound over to the grand Jury. Shcr man pleads that he was only acting unde Instructions from tbo house which employee him and that If the federal law was vlo Intcd the manager of the Kansas City concern corn Is the violator and not he. The gram Jury completed Its work yesterday and wa dlpmlssed. 12. H.

Aifter working nearly her entire life for her father , Theodore Stortcnbcckor , a well- known farmer ot this county , his daughter Mrs. John Meyer , la of the opinion that her services were worthy of compensation ant she yesterday brought suit In the superior court to recover $2,500. According to the story as told In the peti tion filed , Mrs. Meyer , who Is about 28 years of age , lived from her birth ttctll she was about 25 years old and : married , with her father on his farm. She nays that from the tlmo eho was about 10 years old her time at .homo . was all taken up by work In the house and upon the farm ; that during her earlier years not only did she have to attend to all the household duties , but as she grew older was compelled to perform the labors of a man upon the farm. When she reached the ago of 18 , she says , she decided eho would no longer bo a slave and work as she did without any compensation. She concluded to leave home and enter the employ of strangers for ihlro. Her father , however , persuaded her not to and on her agreeing to stay at homo promised to pay her reasonable value for her services. In a verbal contract between them , she al leged , it waa agreed that all compensation due 'her ' was to remain Intact and to be paid her with Interest when she married and loft 'home. ' She olatrrs that after this contract was entered Into her father forced her to supply the place of a man during the ploughing , planting and harvesting seasons , in addi tion to ranking her attend to all the duties of the household. She says she worked at least sixteen hours every day and therefore believes that her services should be worth $2,500 for tine many years she tolled.

Immediately upon prceentation to Harbach It was pronounced a forgery and re turned to the Omaha firm.

The State Dairy commissioner today had his attention called to the city of Haven- port , which through Its local Hoard of { Health seems about to adopt an ordinance i in violation of the ( 'Into law that prohibits the sale of adulterated milk. At a meeting of the local Uoard of Health In Davenport certain now rules governing the Inspection and sale of foods and milk and the care which should be exercised in the prevention j of disease , were submitted and laid over for ' consideration at another meeting. Among those rules Is ono which licensee the adul teration of milk , providing the formula of the substance added to the milk be de posited with the board Inspector after hav ing been passed upon by the physician of the board and declared to bo harmless. Section -1989 of the code plainly prohibits the adulteration of milk by the addition of any foreign substance. The promulgation of such an ordinance Is supposed to bo duo to the fact that Davenport Is a special char ter city , which is allowed to make Its own rules governing milk Inspection. Attorney Cicnoral nemloy , however , stated this mornIng - Ing that the adoption of a rule wuch as the above , would bo in clear violation of state law and that special charter cities have no right to sanction anything which is pro hibited by statute , Measures will be taken at once to prosecute any dealers handling adulterated milk.
