Tho city of Council Bluffs drew two per-
sonal Injury damage suits among tho grist
of caseu filed yesterday for tho Septem

lllcc, i.lolhcr-in-law of Lieutenant Gov
ernor Mllllroan, appears as plaintiff In

pality's surplus cash for injuries received
tho evening of July 19, when a buggy In
which Bhe and two friends wcro driving
was overturned down an embankment on
Third street near the new High school
building. Mrs. Itlco suffered a fracturo
of tho rhjht arm near tho shoulder and other
Injuries. Tho tmbankmcnt was caused by ,
tho grading of part of Third street between
Story street and Fifth avenue. Mrs. nice
contends that the city is liable for tho ac- I
cl clout, ns thcro were no lights or danger
signals displayed at tho point whero tho
grading had been partly done.
Urnest Marsh demands that the city pay
him J2.000 for n broken leg, which he
suffered as tho result of fnlllng February

tccttve, attached to tho pollco force, was

nge suit brought by John Burcb. a horse-
trader frotri Fort Scott, Kan, Burch, with
a companion named Morris, was arrested
Wednesday evening by Weir on "suspicion"
nnd placed behind tho bars at tho city
Jail. Ho secured his release Thursday
morning by depositing $46.62 of tho $96.52
ho had with him when arrested, ns security
for his appearance In pollco court next
Monday. On tho blotter at tho city Jail
tho, chargo of "suspicious" was entered
ngalnst Burch's name, but tho next morn
ing this was erased and one of "vagrancy"
entered In Its place. J. F. Hunt nnd Wil
liam Brooks ltecd, Weir's bondsmen, are
named as party defendants In the suit.
Burch In his petition sets forth that his
arrest was without warrant and entirely
uncalled for and that ho was made to suffer
much shame and disgrace by being es
corted through tho crowded public streets
by tho offlcor. Ho says he raised a vigorous
protest against his arrest, but the officer
was obdurate and would not listen to
reason. After being further humiliated by
being searched at tho city Jail, Burch
states, he was thrown Into a cell In which
thcro was no place to sit down or sleep
except an Iron bunk, which recked with
filth. He says that ho had to stand up tho
entire night nnd 'consequently was unable'
to sleep. Burch alleges that tho cell was
In a stato of nastlness and In a most ob-
noxlotis and unhealthy condition.
For tho disgrace' and humiliation to which
he wns subjected by tho Hawkshaw of tho
Council Bluffs police department Burch
wants $l-,000,, and is not particular whether
ho collects It from tho dctcctlvo or from
his bondsmen, so long as ho gets It.

Wo. the populists of Iowa, in convention
nssemblcd in Dcs Moines this 2d day of Au
gust, 1901, do hereby give our unqualified
Indorsement to that tlret grent declaration
of principles promulgated by our party, the
Omaha platform, and each subsequent na
tional platform.
Today we see the formation of glgnntl
trusts to which th people aro compelled
to pay enormous tribute while these heart
less organizations nrc using every advan
tage gained by their Ilnnnclat power, aided
by subsidized press nnd oftlclal favor, to
crush with their Iron heel the laboring
classes of our country. We seo a favored

people nnd to Increase their power and nu
thorlty over their employes as, well as
their Influence over the legislative, execu
tive nnd Judicial departments of stnte and
natlonnl governments. Wo see, nt the In
stance of corporations, the formation of
vast corrupt nnd debauched political rings
nnd combines In nation, state, nnd cltlrs,
usurping the power of tho people tn-rob the
people by using the franchises granted them
to gnther from tho masses contributions
to their corrupting campaign funds. And
all these evil conditions wo realize to bo
the result of tho present policy of our na
tional, state nnd city governments of con
ferring the sovereignty of tho people upon
private Individuals that they may fulllll
public functions for their own private
gain. Therefore, as a remedy, we demand
that they quit granting public franchises, to
Individuals and corporations.
Wo extend our sympathies to rill peoples
struggling to establish more representative
forms of government nnd wo condemn the
concerted action of the present administra
tion and the administration of England In
trying to crush out young republ cs and
establishing In their place crown colonies
nnd Imperial rule. We especially commend
and Indorse that system of government
known ns direct legislation.
On state Issues we demand the equal tnx
ntlon of all property, whether corporate or
private, und we further demand that no
person bo compelled to pay taxes on prop
erty over nnd above tho equity he has In
said property.

"In this country, as in England, whisky
may be called the national drink, but each
city and each section has its own popular
drinks," said a barltcopcr to a Daltlmoro
Sun reporter. "In New York high balls,
fizzes and all kinds of fancy drinks arc in
demand. Anything new is sure of catching
the fancy. It wns tho novelty, or, to bo
more truthful, tho name, that accounted
for tho voguo of Mamlo Taylors nrd
Horses' Necks last summer and the 'Carrl;
Nations' of tho present winter.
"As for champagne well, thoro Is mora
champagne drunk In New York City each
daythan elsewhere In the cntlro United
States. Not exactly that New Yorkers are
such great lovers of champagne, but thoro
aro 150,000 visitors hero per day, who do
not, as a rule, Indulge in this expensive
beverago when at homo and feel thnt they
can afford it when they como to the
metropolis,
"Washington is tho only city whero thero
is no favorite drink. It Is too cosmopolitan
for any one thing to havo a run. Theru
nro a lot of thirsty people there, but they
como from all sections nnd each clings to
what ho has been used to at homo. A
mixer thcro needs to bo well up in his
business, for nearly every man who come3
in will give a different order. Throughout
New England, with the exception of Doston,
which follows the fashions In drink set,by
Now York, cider Is. regarded with cspeeM
favor. There is a sort of prldo In tho way
a man says:
" 'Give mo a glass of cider.'
"In New Orleans straight whisky, wines
nnd nbslntho are usually called for, the
latter being drunk hy the French popula
tion. It Is the- only place In thlv tountry
where thero Is any real demand for this
demoralizing drink. Thero the old abslntho
house Is ono of the sights of tho town and
it Is consldfr'd rather smart to patronlzo It.
"Hero abslntho frappes nro made In tho
old-fflshlnncd way n way that has passed
rut and beert forgot'en save In thl ono spot.
Thcro are two big spigots that all may see,
nnd n man stands at ench of these. The
absinths and tho Ice are put In tho glass
and then he gently turns the spigot and
drop by drop ndds tho water, stirring vig
orously all tho while. It takes fully fifteen
minutes to make n frappo In this manner,
sometimes longer If tho 'mixer Is anxious
to do nn unusually lino Job, but In this
queer French city time doesn't matter If
tho frappe Is good,
"In Charleston, 'Jacksonville, Mobile nnd
othor southern const towns toddles, cock
tails and mint Juleps nre the popular thirst
quonchers In the warm months, but with
the first touch of frost they give placo to
hot Tom and Jerry nnd eggnog. Especially
Is eggnog considered the holiday beverago,
and on Christmas day It is tho southern
custom to servo It in every home. A big
bowl of eggnog Is a far more necessary
part of tho festivities than a Christmas
tree, and the southern peoplo mako It ns
can no other people In the world. Thero
is only one trouble about It or Is that a
good point? You don't want much of It.
"Chicago drinks ovorythlng.
"In San Francisco straight whisky and
nntlvo wines nro drunk almost exclusively.
In no part of the west Is there any call far
the many fancy drinks popular In tho cast.
" 'Anything Just so It's whisky, but don't
ye put nothing in it,' Is tho order in tho
mining camps. Plain whisky Is their
standby.
"In North Carolina, Tennessee and Geor
gia there Is a deal of corn whisky drunk.
It is made In the mountains. It Is usually
drunk fresh, when It Is white, fiery and
would make tabasco sauce tame beside It.
With age It mellows, gets softer and turns
