MAY CLOSE EVERY SALOON

His Grustds.
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.

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.

BETTER BUILDINGS AT DEPOT
Result nf Transfer fire May Ite Great
Improvement Over Old
Shed.
While nothing has as yet been definitely
determined upon, It Is possible that Tues
day's fire at the transfer depot may re
sult In more extensive permanent Improve
ments than the mere replacing ot the
burned wooden freight platforms with Iron
sheds,
It Is said that the Union Tactile Is se
riously considering the ndvlsoblllty ot car
rying out pla3 contemplated two years
ago, which embrace the replacing of the
present ancient frame structure which
does duty as a freight depot with a sub
stantial brick building. According to the
plans formulated two years ago, this build
ing was to be 24x80 feet, two stories high,
and the rstlmacd cost at that time was
$50,000.
Agent Manderson said yesterday that
there was some talk of replacing the freight
depot and offices with a brick structure,
but ns far as he knew there had been noth
ing definite decided upon. '

JEFFERSON, la., Aug. 22. (Special.)
The democratic county convention held In

denounce all attempts Of reoriniiiliatloii or

We believe Mr. Bryan to bo the greatest

cially the 1901 republican state plntform, for
their willful neglect In not passing or fa

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."

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.
