OWNERS MUST FILE THEIR BONDS Onlr Might of the Fnrt-Flic llnte Compiled nlth Order anil the Olllelnl Is Tired nf Waiting. "I will close every saloon In Council Illuffs ubIcbs tho owners file the $3,000 bond required by law within the near fu ture. So far, with but few exceptions, they have entirely Ignored' the notices I sent thcra. I shall give them a few days' more grace, and then 1 shall take the necessary steps to close their saloons. This is no Idle threat and I mean every word of what I say." This was the statement of County Attorney Klllpack to County Auditor lnnes yesterday when Mr. Klllpack learned that only eight of the forty-five saloon keepers doing business In this city had compiled with his notice and filed their bonds. Should the county attorney carry out his threat and proceed against tho saloons for failure to file these bonds It will result, It Is said, In nt least hnlf of the saloons keepers being compelled to close nnd the loss of revenue from this source to both the city nnd county will be great. Tho saloon keepers assert they are unable to secure the bonds In tho sum nf $3,000, owing to the mulct law, which makes them liable nt any moment to prosecution by nnyono who so desires. For years tho saloon keepers of Council Dluffs have been bled by blackmailers who have taken ad vantage of tho mulct law and the saloon men havo been powerless to protect them selves. Their only resource was to quit business. The liability to prosecution un der tho present mulct law Is what Is pre venting them from securing the $3,000 bond required by tho statute. IIiiiiiIIiiK Companies Arc Hhy. Tho bonding coinpnntcs refuse to furnish tho bonds unless they themselves aro pro tected by an Indemnifying bond from tho browcrs or other responsible parties. Tho brewers are themselves unable to furnish the bonds for the saloon men, ns they can not qualify In this state, and they'rofuso to give Indemnifying bonds to the bonding companies. This practically leaves the saloon men with but ono resource, and that Is to get private Individuals to go on the bonds, nnd hero Is where they aro up against It, so to speak. The snloon men, as a rule, are opposed to putting up this $3,0000 bond. They clnlm they havo done business for a num ber of years without being asked to fur nish It and the county nnd city havo, they say, lost practically nothing through not enforcing It, Their property, they say, Is of sufficient valuo to relmburso tho city or the county In tho event of their failure to pay tho tax. An Indignation meeting ot tho saloon men of the city has been called for tomorrow night, but the place of meeting has not been made public. Not Altogether Approved. The action ot County Attorney Klllpack In attempting to enforce the filing of these bonds Is not altogether approved by the county or city officials. They realize that a strict enforcement of tho statute will entail a largo loss In rovenuo from this source, as undoubtedly many of tho sa loons will have to close If Mr. Klllpack carries out his threat of bringing proceed ings. As one county official said yesterday, It will mean the loss to the city and county of several thousands of dollars If the filing of tho bonds ts enforced.

Head, 541 Droad'y, TEAMSTERSGQ ON A STRIKE Tvent y-Three Complain They Cannot Haul the Number at IiOhilM Esnetcil nf Them. Complaining that they cannot haul the number ot loads exacted from them to earn n day's wages, twenty-thrco teamsters In tho employ of Contractor 'Wlckham on the Upper Broadway paving ha gono on a strike, Tho men who were hauling brick claim they were compelled to haul elx londs a day, whllo thoso hauling sand wero re quired to make eight loads. Tho brick haulers who failed to make the required number of loads wore docked CO cents and tho sand haulers 30 cents a load. The men complnln that whllo tho nominal wages wero $3 a day for brick hnulers and $2.f0 for sand haulers, thoy could not, under those conditions, earn morn than from $3 to $2.25 a day. With the cost ot feed as high as It Is nt present, the men say they can not make living wages, as It takes about all thoy earn to feed their teams. They de mand a straight wago of $3 a day for a man and team. Contractor Wlckbam claims that his own teams haul six loads of brick a day and that his demand that the othor teamsters do the same Is not unreasonable. Wick ham said ho could get all tho teams he wanted nnd that tho pnvlng would not b9 delayed by the strike. Several of tho strik ing teamsters went to work again yesterday afternoon.

We denounce all attempts Of reoriniiiliatloii or the democratlo party havlnc for Its ob ject tho sacrifice of anv of its principles ndoptcd or endorsed by the said Kansas City plntform.

SHAW FINDS PLATFORM A NEGATIVE ONE Aside from Minor Utterance Intvn (Inventor Seen I.HHe In Uspreaalnn ot Principles to Criticise or Commend, (From a Staff Correspondent,) DE8 MOINES. Aug. 22. (Special.) Re publicans are especially well pleased with the work Ot the democratic state conven tion yesterday And generally express the belief thnt It will obviate tho necessity tor any great endeavors In the campnlgn. It was evident that both factions of the de mocracy went home disgusted, or worse, and that those who were delighted with the platform were also disappointed In the ticket. Governor Shaw said In regard to the democrats; "With the exception of the reafflrmancc of the KahsAs City platform and Its utter ances on the temperance question, there la nothing to criticise or commend. All good cltltens, without regard to party, believe In the equal distribution ot the burden ot taxation, It is Interesting to note that tho heretofore admitted leader of the de mocracy of Iowa has expressed the opinion that they cannot win Inside ot two yenrs. I remember that In 1897 they thought they could win that year and were again con fident of succeeding In 1899. It ts equally Interesting to note that this tender's po sition on tho subject of railroad taxation, as expressed In his Interview, resulted In his defeat as a member of the commlttco on resolutions. "In other words, the democratic party repudiates tho drastic measures outlined In the Interview And In this shows n Very Commendable And progressive spirit, lowh Is not a popullstlc state and It Is very grat ifying to note that no party la disposed to appeal to prejudice or passion. Wo nre evidently Approaching a very clean, con servative campaign, In which there Aro ho state Issues to discuss, but much ot na tional Importance." Rxnert's Itenort Sot Considered.

TURK HAS THE ADVANTAGE France Mnst Hciitate to Start Trouble with Czar's Visit Impindiig. RUSSIAN FILLS THE HORIZON ABOUT PARIS liners and People Deem Mini More linnnrtiint Than the Porte Mnvnl Aotlvll)-, HiMvevcr, Is Ap pnrcnt. rARIS, Aug. 22. The Matin this morning announces that the French second-class Cruiser Cassard started for Turkish waters yesterday and that a naval division Is ready to follow. The approaching visit of tho crar to France largely overshadows the Interest taken in the Franco-Turkish Incident. The apathy of the 'publlo Is reflected by the comments of tho newspapers. They gener ally oxprcss confldenco In a peaceful settle ment of tho dispute. According to the Foreign office officials this afternoon there Is no news and no change In the situation of the Turkish imbroglio. This, however, was notlcoablu the officials were moro reticent than yes terday. While reasserting that no naval demonstration Is contemplated, they ro- fUso to confirm or deny tho truth of neWa contained In special dispatches, saying that three battleships and a cruiser, which ar rived at Toulon this morning, are taking coal and provisions an board. They said they had no lntormatlon on the subject. Perhaps It Is not lacking In significance that M. Des Chanel, president of tho Chamber of Doputles, who was attending the council general at Charles, suddenly went to Ramboulllct this morning to seo President Loubet and also that M. Del- casse, tho minister ot foreign affairs, tenves the council general at Artego and returns to Paris tomorrow to attend a special meeting ot the cabinet, called, It Is As serted, to Arrnnge tho program for tho reception nnd entertainment ot the czar. In the meanwhile the Turkish ambassador, Munlr Dcy, Is nbscnt nnd at tho Turkish embassy only minor officials are visible. They assume an air of absolute Indiffer ence and Ignorance of the whole matter. Most ot the diplomatists aro away for the summer holidays, hence it Is difficult to ob tain a consensus of opinion. Talking to the correspondent ot the Associated Press, one ot the oldest members, who has been con nected with tho diplomatic corps for over twenty-five years, said: eastern (lunation Inopportnne, "The sultan's hand contains one trump Just now. It Is not likely that Franco will run the risk of opening the eastern question on the ove ot the ciar's vUlt." Tho nowspapers here, under tho influ ence of the overwhelming Joy at the czar's approaching visit, are paying scant atten tion to Constantinople and generally are taking the view that tho matter will soon be settled to Franco's satisfaction. The coming ot the cxar Is causing In tense satisfaction throughout the country. Alt the council generals nre sitting and even of those with n majority In oppo sition to the government are passing reso lutions ot an enthusiastic nature over the czar's coming visit, which Is having a good effect. The Temps, seml-olTlclAl, has a note this afternoon on the lines of the Intorvtew which tho correspondent ot the Associated Press obtained yesterday frbm a high offl clal ot tho Foreign office, saying: "The rupture, ns yet, Is only the personal act of M. ConBtans and will only became offi cial and complete It tho sultan persists In his present attitude, In which case, ns Munlr Dey Is absent from Franco, It will only be necessary to notify him not to re turn Until diplomatic relations nre re sumed." Tho Temps adds that there Is no question at present of a naval demonstration and hints that If It becomeB necessary France may Imitate tho example of Austria, which once, under similar circumstances, seized the custom house officer In Ottoman ports.
