Jerry McCarty , Judge Woolson yesterday ,
in the federal court , sentenced Celly Hough ,
to two years and a half In the penitentiary
at Fort Madison and Thomas Wheeler to
ten months In the penitentiary at Ana-
mosa.
McCarty , after blowing the safe of the
Adrian postofflco and securing $200 In cash
and postage stamps to the value of $448 ,
came to Council Bluffs , accompanied by his
wife , and stopped at the homo of Wheeler ,
who was employed as a waiter at a restau
rant. McCarty Induced Wheeler to under
take the disposal of the stamps. Wheeler
was unable to do so and at McCarty's sug
gestion got Hough and Joau Bell to assist
him. Hciigh took the stamps and hid
them. McCarty was arrested In BeUolt ,
Kan. , and from him the federal officers
learned of Wheeler's and Hough's connec
tion with the case. On being Indicted they

Spence , comprising the law flrm of Henry
& Spcmco of Mt. Ayr , la , the Jury yesterday

The suit was a sequel to the famous Gclger-

mont being made that In the event of Miss

one-half of the damages , Henry & Spence
two-thirds and Flory one-third of the other
half. MlE.I Qulfor won the casu and secured
a Judgment against Payne for $16,000 and
coats , amounting In all to $17,097,36 , which
amount Payne paid. Flory's eult was for
his share of the "divvy , " the payment of

for the Cltj'n llriicllt.
The report of the commercial committee
which was presented to the city council
Monday night Is of considerable Interest
and contains some timely suggestions. In
part It is as follows :
"Tho report of your committee this month
Is ono of congratulations' at the approach
ing completion of the most succ ssful com
mercial year In the history ot Council
Bluffs. Wo have moro than fully recovered
from the depression of 1893 and succeeding
jcars and are now in the full tide of pros- i
pcrlty with prospects of the future never
brighter. The smoke of the now elevator
an Investment of $175,006 Is visible , showIng -
Ing that great Industry to bo at work , mak
ing Council Bluffs ono of the largest grain
storage centers of the west.
"In the past month we have lost nothing
of consequence , but record the establish
ment of another homo manufactory which
is now at work giving additional employ
ment to our working people. The Omaha
and Council Bluffs Suburban railway Is a I
fixed fact and progress Is being made In the
work of opening up a new avenue to Omaha
and the upbuilding of the western section
of Council Bluffs as well a& that part of
the city beyond the Missouri river and Man-
awa on the south.
"In another month the last rail ot the
Illinois-Central will bo laid between Coun
cil Bluffs and Fort Dodge , giving us an
other thoroughfare to the Atlantic and the
Gulf of Mexico. These are some of the many
Improvements In Council Bluffs and Its trib
utary territory , involving on expenditure of
at least $9,000,000 during the present year.
Should contemplated enterprises bo prose
cuted the remainder of the year something
llko another $1,000,000 will be added to this
amount in our cltv and the Immediate sur
rounding country.
"In this connection it may be Interesting
to note the effect of these prosperous condi
tions upon our banks , as au Index to the
business of Council Bluffs in comparison
with the same period of the preceding year.
The deposits In September , 1898 , were
$3,549,392 , while on September 7 of this
year they were $4,600,265 , an Increase of
$1,051,873 , or 271-3 per cent over a year ,
of remarkable prosperity In the west. Another - "
other matter of interest Is the fact that the
Individual deposits of the Omaha national
banks amount to $10,800,000. Of this amount
about $1,200,000 Is from Council Bluffs , leav
ing a balance of $9,600,000 , which Is equal
to about $60 per capita , while Council Bluffs
deposits show $153 per capita , estimating
the population of the city at 30,000. The Des
Molnes National banks show Individual de
posits , of $2,290,000. The deposits of the |
Council Bluffs National banks are $2,232- ,
749 , or only $57,230 less than the combined i
Individual deposits of the National banks of
Des Moines This demonstrates the Impor
tance of Council Bluffs as a financial center
and It Is safe to say that no city of Ita size
In the west , with the exception ot South
Omaha , can make a better proportionate I
showing.
"Tho architecture of the city should al
ways receive careful attention. By that we
ore Judged. The rookeries , occupied or un
occupied , should bo driven from our prin
cipal streets The architecture on Broadway ,
Main and Pearl streets by reason of the
presence of rookeries Is anything but com
plimentary to the city. Complaint has been
made that our people do not patronize our
homo merchants and that our merchants
show no preference for our homo manufac-
trieu. This Is a grievous evil If carried to Its
fullest extent. This may bo nn unpalatable
truth to hear , but the practice can be easily
remedied by those indulging In it. Every
person who makes a living In Council Bluffs
should stand by Council Bluffs. "

iltctiiinitn IJolnis Returned.

nection with the controversy over Union

Clollaml of Weston In this case the plain

the compan > 's tracks as claimed by tbo

the Sioux City & Northern railway under
foreclosure of first mortgage bonds. Theao
bonds and accumulated Interest , now In de
fault , amount to $2 POO.OOO and nro held In

the application and the railway company
filed nn answer admitting Insolvency and
submitting. The sale will take place In
about six weeks and H. S. Baker of Sioux
City ha been named special master to con
duct the Bale.
It Is anticipated the holders of the bonds
will bid in the road and then sell It to J.
Kennedy Ted & Co of New York , who really
represent J. J. Hill of the Great Northern
Hill already owns a largo block of the stock
and undoubtedly It will fall Into his hands
later on. It Is a pajlng piece of property
now that It has been properly managed by
the receivers , but has been unable to pay uj >
back Interest on its Itonds and so must pass
out of the hands of Its present owners. It
extends from Sioux City to Garretson , S. D. ,
ninety miles , and there connects with the
Great Northern road.

DES MOINES , la , Oct. 3 ( Special. The
state board of railroad commissioners has
received a communication from the Humes-
ton and Shenandoah branch of the Chicago ,
Burlington A Qulncy railroad , which settles a
controversy that has been pending before
the board for some time. C. M. Levy of
Burlington , general superintendent of the
road , states to the commlBSloners that his
line has decided to concede Uio matter of
freight rates to shippers. The latter some
weeks ago complained to the commissioners
that toe Humeston and Shenandoah , now a
branch line of the Chicago , Burlington &
Qulnoy road , was charging the same rates
j-which the law allowed it to enforce when It
was an Independent lli.e. Second and third
class roads , under the law , aio allowed to
charge freight rites 30 per cent in excess
of trunk lines. Shippers claimed that this
was not allowable when a lower class road
was absorbed by a trunk line and threatened
to take the matter Into the courts If the
commissioners did not Interfere. The. . latter
communicated with the1 road In question and
It has resulted In the above concession.

MOTHERHOOD are denied the happiness of children
through some derangement of the generative organs.
Actual barrenness is rare.
Among the many triumphs of Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable
Compound is the overcoming of cases
of supposed barrenness. This great
medicine is so well calculated to regu
late every function of the generative or
gans that its efficiency is vouched for
by multitudes of women.
MRS. ED. WOLFORD , of Lone Tree ,
Iowa , writes :
' DEAR MRS. PINKHAM Before taking Lydia E. Pinkham's
Vegetable Compound I had one child which lived only six
hours. The doctor said it did not have the proper nourishment
while I was carrying it. I did not feel at all well during preg
nancy. In time I conceived again , and
thought I would write to you for advice.
Words cannot express the gratitude I feel
towards you for the help that your medi
cine was to me during this time. I
felt like a new person ; did my work
up to the last , and was sick only a
short time. My baby weighed ten
pounds. He is a fine boy , the
joy of our home. He is now six
weeks old and weighs sixteen
pounds. Your medicine is cer
tainly a boon in pregnancy. "
MRS. FLORA COOPER , of
Doyle , S. Dak. , writes :

Ever since my last child I
suffered with inflammation of
the womb , pains m back , left
side , abdomen and groins. My
bead ached all the time. I.
could not walk across the floor
without suffering intense pain.
I kept getting worse , until
two years ago I wrote to you
for advice , and began taking
Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound ,
I had not finished the first bottle before I felt better. I took
four bottles , and have been Btrong and perfectly healthy ever
since , and now have two of the nicest little girls , "
