QUESTIONS POSEY TITLE
More Trouble to Bight for Trustees of Pub
lio Library Board.
ASSERT WIDOW ONLY HAS LIFE ESTATE
Wlenda of Saegart Hit n the
Beard Are Reported as Preparing-
to Raise Same Q,oes
tloa on Hew Oae.
It tn Bald that when the matter cornea
before the library board at Ita meeting to
night the title to the W. H. M. Pusey prop
erty, selected at the last meeting- as the
site for the Carnegie library building, will
be questioned by the members who voted
against this location. It Is reported that
they have discovered what they claim will
prove a serious flaw in the title and will
urge the selection of another site.
The property at the comer of Willow ave
nue and Pearl street, selected as the site
for the new library building. Is known as
the W. II. M. Pusey homestead. Mr.
Pusey died Intestate and the property then
reverted to his widow and three children,
Mrs. Ella Plnney, Mrs. J. E. F. McOee
and Frank Pusey. It Is claimed that Mrs.
Pusey has only a life Interest In the prop
erty and that a vested title rests In the
three children.
Frank Pusey, one of the heirs. Is said
to have taken advantage of the bankruptcy
law In the federal court In New York,
among the liabilities from which he was
released being a claim of considerable
due to the defunct banking firm of Officer
A Pusey. The question now raised Is
whether Frank Pusey, at the time he went
through bankruptcy. Included In the
schedule of assets his Interest In the prop
erty now selected by the library board as
the site for the Carnegie building. Those
who are opposed to the site contend that
If Frank Pusey failed to schedule this In
terest. In the event of the property be
ing sold, a claim against It could be made
by his creditors at the time ho was de
clared a bankrupt.
Then again It Is contended that If the
property was scheduled by Pusey at the
time of his going through bankruptcy debts
contracted subsequently might legally be
mado a lien on the property and thus ren
der It Impracticable for the family to give
the city an absolutely clear title such as
it demands.
A transcript of the bankruptcy proceed
ings of Frank Pusey has been sent for and
may reach here In time for submission
to toe library board at Us meeting tonight,
ay Title Is Good.
Judge J. B. F. McOee, who Is repre
senting Mrs. Pusey In the sale of the prop
erty at the corner of Willow avenue and
Pearl' street, to the Library board stated
last evening that an absolutely clear title
to the lots could be given to the city bj
the Pusey family The bankruptcy of
Frank Pusey would In no way place a
cloud on the title, as a homestead was
exempt from all debts of the ancestors and
heirs. The question of whether the prop
erty might not be liable for debts In
curred subsequent, to "the death of Mr. W.
It m. Pusey by the son, Frank Puaey,
would not enter Into the case, as Frank
Pusey had Incurred no liabilities since
then.
It Is possible, said Judge MoOee, that
Frank Pusey might have omitted Including
his Interest In the homestead In the sched
ule of his asset at the time he went Into
bankruptcy, as the children looked upon
the property as belonging to their mother,
although they had a reversionary interest
In It. Whether he Included It among his
asset or not could not affect the title.

V ' Crs; BlBfl-a to Exhibit.
Council Bluffs has been Invited to have
an exhibit at the St Louis exposition.
The Information comes In a communication
from F. R. Conway of Des Moines to Mayor
Morgan. Mr. Conway Is secretary of the
Iowa exhibit at ths exposition, and he calls
attontlon to the fact that Council Bluffs
la one of the thirteen cities of the state
classed as having manufactories turning
out products valued at a certain mark. Mr.
Conway states that It Is the plan of the
Iowa exhibitors to get each of the larger
cities to make an Individual exhibit, and
requests Mayor Morgan to get the local
manufacturers together and act upon the
Invitation.
In his communication Mr. Conway calls
attention to the fact that the general Im
pression is that Iowa Is purely an agricul
tural state, and an exhibit of Its manu
factured products would do much to dis
pel such an erroneous Impression. He
urges that It Is the duty of the Iowa man
ufacturers to teach the public that Iowa
Is a manufacturing as well as an agricul
tural state, and this could be best accom
plished by sending a good exhibit of man
ufactured articles to St. Louis.
Mayor Morgan, who favors the sugges
tion made by Mr. Conway, will lay the mat
ter . before the executive committee of the
Commercial club and urge that steps be
taken to have Council Bluffs make an ex
hibit at the exposition.
Farmer Dtee frosa Fall.
Henry Newell, the farmer who was ren
dered unconscious by a fall from a wagon
Baturdiy evening and was taken to Mercy
hospital, died at an early hour yesterday
morning without regaining consciousness.
A oostmortem examination held, by Cor
ner Trey nor and City Physician Hough
ton revealed the presence of an abcess In
the brain. This it Is thought may have
KMn responsible for the man's fall from
the wagon and the direct cause of his
death.
IJttle is known about Newell. It la said
that he was a single man and worked for
a farmer living euovt ten miles oast of the
city- Ths team and wagon which hs was
driving are in charge of the police and
had not been claimed by their owner up
to last evening. The authorities, however,
aspect to secure Information concerning
the dead man today from the proprietor of
a Broadway grocery store where Newell
purchased a quantity of goods Saturday
evening.

Connor Boy Makes Getaway.
Richard Connor, the 12-year-old boy from
Superior, Neb., who was being held at
police headquarters awaiting the arrival of
his aunt. Miss Maggie Connor of Omaha,
made his escape yesterday morning and
tho police have been unable to get any
trace of him again. The boy was not
locked up, but was allowed the freedom
of the Jail office. While Chief Tlbblts
was engaged In releasing a prisoner on
bond yesterday morning young Connor,
whi had previously succeeded In getting
possession of the checlt for his baggago,
which was at the Northwestern depot,
slipped out of the Jail and by ths time
his absence was noticed was out of sight.
A few minutes after he made his escape
the aunt called at the station for him.
She was much chagrined at finding that
the boy had gotten away.
Eiprt to Examine Wreck.
tr. W. P. Hombach has engaged the
services of an expert who will make an
Investigation today of the wrecked build
ing to determine the cause of and respon
sibility for the explosion Friday evening.
A partial examination made the day fol
lowing the explosion showed that the pipes
under the flooring were badly twisted and
broken and It may be that even an Investi
gation by an expert will fall to determine
the responsibility for the leak. The wrecked
building was viewed by hundreds of persons
yesterday and It was found necessary to
stretch a rope around It In order to keep
the crowds from tramping on the grounds.
Mrs. Hombach, who suffered a compound
fracture of the left ankle was resting
easily yesterday, although still suffering
from the shock.

(From a Staff Correspondent.)
DES MOINES, July 19.-Speclal.)-The
representatives of the three state educa-
tlonal institutions have become Interested
in the question of assessments on property
In the state and whatever Influence they
may pe auie to exerv win w ui.-v
tlon of having the assessments made ana i
maintained in strict accordance with the
law and no reduction for sentimental rea-
sons. The state educational insuiuuons ro
the only things in the state that will I
benefit directly by reason or Increase a as-
sessmenta. They nave nxea levies ior
building purposes, while all other levies are
made after the assessments are made and
the taxing values computed, so that only
sufficient levies are made to raise the
money needed. The last legislature maue
an imponani cubiikc hi iuo .
In that the limit was removed. For
several years the State university and the
State college had permanent levies or one- I
tenth of a mill each for building purposes,
but the laws provided that If more than a
certain sura was received the surplus
should go to, the general fund. The last
legislature doubled these levies and re-
moved the limit. The legislature also gave
the Normal school a one-temn mm levy,
The two together will make a half-mllllevy
Increase for Colleges.
As the result of this arrangement the col
leges will get larger sums for their build
ing operations, but It Is in fact badly
needed on account of the Increase In cost
of material and construction. Large build
ings are being built at each of the Institu
tions and the boards found that they wUl

regard to recognition of colleges was preju
dldal to two good pharmacy schools In

association gave recognition only to the
colleges that are members of the American
Association of Pharmaceutical Colleges or
gantxed 4t Richmond. The college at Iowa
City Is the only one that Is a member, the
others being shut out by a trick at the
St. Louis meeting last year. However, the

Judge Abbott Hands Down Opinion on
Appendicitis in Omaha.
CHANGES IN ZINC AND LEAD MINING
I'pper Mlssonrl Valleys Are Rich In
Fruit, Alfalfa and Live Stock
Why Uncle Sam Likes
Montana Horses.
Judge M. J. Abbott of Hayes county,
who has been under treatment in one of
the Omaha hospitals for rheumatism for
several weeks past, and has lost fifty-five
pounds of his avoirdupois as an Incident
thereto, said at the Merchants last even
ing: "I am about recovered from my Ill
ness, thanks to the gentle care of ths
nurses and physicians. I was astonished
to observe during my oonvalescene the
great number of cases of appendicitis that
are being treated in the Omaha hospitals
Just now. I was told that no less than
eleven cases were treated at the hospital
in which I was during the last two weeks,
and operations had to be performed In the
majority of them. A considerable number
of the patients, too, were children from
10 to 17 years old. That Is the record of
but one hospital. So what must It be In
the aggregate of cases In the several hos
pitals of the city."
T. D. Hereford, an Iowan, who has just
returned from an extended commercial trip
through southwestern Missouri and south
eastern Kansas, In speaking of the lead
and sine mining Industries down there
said: "While mining for lead and slno ores
Is not as extensive as It was a year, or
two ago In that district, there la no prac
tical diminution In the output. The mines
have drifted Into the hands of big com
panles who regulate the output at their
discretion. There are comparatively few
Individual miners now, where several years
ago there were thousands. Great fortunes
were made In the lead mines In the halycon
days that had all the romance of the big
strikes of the gold mines of California and
Colorado. Prospectors who one day were
draining the very dregs of penury and
privation were through the fortune of a
rich strike of 'Jack' made nabobs the next
and were rolling In luxury and comfort.
There are some rich strikes even at this
late day and the lead and sine field Is ex
tending rapidly by new finds. Galena,
Kan., Is the great center of the mining
district, and Is today one of the thriftiest
towns In the west. It Is equipped with
trolley lines, electric lights, trolley connec
nectlon with Joplln, Mo., where the great
lead smelters and reducing works are, and
several free delivery routes radiate from
the town In all directions."
A. L. Moore, who has recently returned
from an extensive tour through Knox,
Cedar and Dixon counties, Nebraska, brings
back a very hopeful story of the crop out
look up there this season. He said: "The
wheat harvest Is not yet completed, but
from the appearance of the fields and the
drooping heads of the grain the crop Is
going to be one of the best ever produced
In that section. Corn, of course, was planted
very late, but the corn weather of the last
few weeks has put It In fine shape and It
does not look to be more than a couple of
weeks behind Its appearance In ordinary
years. The fields are clean, and they have
been less bothered there by unseasonable
rains than In the southern parts of tho
state or along the Platte valley. The hay
crop Is the finest ever grown In the north
eastern part of the state."
James A. Van Valrah, of the vicinity of
Great Falls, Mont., who is engaged In
ranching there, was an Omaha visitor Sun
day and gave out some very Interesting In
formation regarding the agricultural and
live stock nrospects of the Upper Missouri,
He said: "We raise some of the flnent
alfalfa up there that grows anywhere. The
Upper Missouri valleys are dotted with
alfalfa farms, and where Irrigation Is pos
sible the acreage Is being Increased every
year. The farmers In that locality have
already cut their second crop and will be
getting Into the alfalfa patches again
within a week or two for the third crop
and will then winter pasture the stubble.
There la considerable fruit grown In the
valleys, too, and It Is of a superior quality.
Our main hold up there, however, la live
stock. Our range cattle cannot be beat,
and feed on the ranges the year round
Then It Is a great horse country. We breed
mostly to the old Hamhletonlan stock,
which, crossed with the hardy Montana
stock, makes the finest general purpose
horse In the world. Thousands of head are
shipped from Great Falls every season for
the east, and the government Is particularly
partial to the Montana horse for the cav
alry service. They are Invariably gentle
and are readily broken to work or ride.
They will seldom go under fourteen and a
half hands high, and we have raised some
sixteen handers. The average la about fif
teen bands, and running from 1.100 to 1.300
In weight"
Hon. George R. Fouke of Liberty, Neb.,
was an Omaha visitor yesterday. Mr.
Fouke Is much Interested tn California min
ing enterprises and the Rand district. He
says of the mining prospects out there:
"We are looking for big things In the
Rand district within the very near future.
The question of water has been finally set
tled. That has been the great drawback

tempestuous night, which the combined
fleets of the New York and Eastern Yacht
clubs fortunately rode without serious ac
cident, yachtsmen spent the day In social
calls among the fleet and trips ashore..
The only accident reported on account of
the storm was that to the schooner Colum
bia, which grounded for an hour or two
In the upper part of the harbor. It wns
pulled off without damage.
The special feature of the day was the
meeting on board Corsair of the Amer
ica's cup committee and regatta commit
tee of the New York Yacht club. At the
meeting It was decided to have the trlHl
races for the selection of the America's
cup against Shamrock III. sailed off New

fication of the original plan was due to
the request of the managers of the three
big boats, who wish to have plenty of time
In case of their selection to
the cup races. On July 28 there will be a
race for all classes of the New York Yacht
club fleet. On the 29th will come the second
trlul race; on the 30th another regatta for
tne neet. and on August 1. the third and
last trial race. It Is conndontlyexpected
by the members of the club that Reliance
will prove sufficiently able to win all the
trial races and be selected to defend the
cup.
