The ' Smith Refining company of thla
city has taken all Ita traveling men off
the road and has practically ceased busi
ness. Ita plant. It is understood, will bo
for sale In the near future. Failure to
make adequate profit- on the capital In
vested and competition of. the glucose
trust Is given aa the reaaon for tha com
pany discontinuing buslneaa.
The Smith Refining company waa or
ganised In thla city about five yeara ago,
when It aecured tha buildings and plant
of tha defunct Council Bluffs canning
company on Tenth avenue and Twelfth
street. Its business waa the making of
syrups, preserved Jellies and such goods.
H. A. Soarle, secretary and treaaurer of
tha Monarch Manufacturing company of
this city, waa manager, and A. L. Smith
of Hastings, Neb., waa superintendent.
About three yeara ago the Smith sor
ghum plant waa removed from Hastings,
Neb., to thla city and operated In con
nection with the refining plant- It Is
possible that the sorghum plant will con
tinue" to be operated, although thla has
not yet been finally determined.
Trait Competition To Strong.
Manager Searle, when seen last evening,
stated that while It, had not been publicly
announced, there had been no attempt to
keep It secret, and the Smith Refining com
pany was to all lntenta and purposes out
of business and that It had disposed of Its
stock on hand to a Sioux City firm. Mr.
Searle, in explaining the reasons for the
company discontinuing business, said:
"Whereas at first tha company did a
good business, for the' last year-or more
the profits have not Justified tha Invest
ment. Wa have about made Interest on
the money Invested and that la all. Com
petition from the glucose trust has prac
tically put ua out of business. Then again,
we were discriminated against by tha rail
roads. Formerly such goods as wa manu
factured could be shipped In carload lota,
for which the minimum load used to be
20,000 pounds. With thla minimum wa could
ship a carload and supply a certain terri
tory . Tha railroads, however, raised the
minimum to 80,000 pounds, and later again
to 40,000 pounds. This handicapped us, as
certain classes of our goods under the
peculiar classification of the railroads could
not be Included In the car lota and had' to
be shipped at regular rates. On tha other
hand, everything manufactured by the
glucoae trust under the favorable classifica
tion of the railroads could be shipped In
carloads. This competition, or more cor
rectly speaking discrimination, proved too
much for ua and we decided wa had better
go out of business." '
Sorgham Plaat May Rem.
Regarding the report that tha company
waa figuring on removing Ita plant to
Thomaavllle, Oa., and going Into tha cane
sugar business, Mr. Searle said such a
move had been discussed, but nothing had
come of It "Tha entire plant of the refln
Ing company here will ba shortly offered
for aale," ha said. Aa to the future of tha
sorghum plant In tha northwestern part
of the city Mr. Searle said it waa possible
that It might be tontlnued In operation
Independent of tha Smith refining plant.
The stock of tha Smith Refining company
la principally owned by members of the
Beatio and Smith families.
saga said that two of tha men were leading
the drunken man towards Main street while
tha other fellow had gone off In another di
rection. ' The police started, In pursuit and
finally came across Cummlng, who waa In
tow of Pettlt and Norton. Tha latter de
nied having robbed Cummlng, but they
were held, charged with larceny from the
person. The police are looking for the
third man aald to hava been Implicated In
the robbery. When aearched at the city
Jail Cummlng had no money on him.
was received. It Is supposed that owing
to tho delay in securing tha requisition
papers and to the) mistake made In nam
ing Chief Koeplln Instead of Everett aa
the man wanted, and which had to ba
rectified, the Grand Island J authorities
became tired of holding tha man and
let him loose.
LAWYER DENIES FAITH'S STORY
Says He Informed Faltji and Welsh
tha Proposed Marriage Was
Illegal.
E. Starbuck, tho Olenwood attorney on
whose advice J. M. Faith and Mrs. Welsh
of Silver City aald they came to Council
Bluffs and entered Into the bigamous mar
riage, -brands tha statements made by
Faith and James Welsh, husband of tha
woman, aa utterly false and without the
slightest foundation. When Mr. Starbuck
learned that his name had been dragged
Into the case he at once took steps to set
himself right with the county authorities.
To County Attorney Klllpack Mr. Star-
buck stated yesterday that Faith and
Welsh called upon him relative to tho pro
posed marriage between Faith and Mrs.
Welsh and that after hearing tha facts In
tha case ha advised them that auch a mar
riage would ba Illegal unless both parties
to It first secured a divorce. To secure a
divorce, he Informed Faith and Welsh,
would nqu're a residence of two yeara In
tha atata as well as sufficient legal grounds
for a divorce In each ease. Attorney
Starbuck stated further that after giving
this advice to Faith and Welsh he offered
to act as their attorney In the proposed
divorce suits, but they left without ac
cepting hla proposition. He had not' men
cr heard of them after until he read In the
newspapers the account of the blgamoua
marriage between Faith and Welsh's wife.
Attorney Starbuck stated he was willing
to -testify whenever called upon and he will
undoubtedly be one of the state s wit
nesses against Faith and Mrs. Welsh, who
will have their preliminary hearing before
Justice Ouren Monday next. '
Boy Accidentally Shot.
C C. Gatllaa, a 17-year-old lad from Ken
tucky who Is spending the Chrlatmaa holi
days with his brother-in-law, F. D. Mullen,
proprietor of the barber shop In the Neu
xnayer hotel,' was taken to Meroyhospltal
laat evening Buffering from a bullet wound
In his thigh. Young Gatllss was carrying
a revolver In his hip pocket and while
playing about the yard with soma compan
ions , after aupper the weapon waa acci
dentally discharged, tha bullet entering hla
thigh. Tha wound, whlla painful, la not
considered serious.
INDICT MARTIN FOR PERJURY
Allegation that Ho Swore Falsely In
Damage Case Trial Last
April.
M. F. Martin of Omaha, against whom an
Indictment was returned by the grand Jury
at tha November term of district court In
thla city, was arrested yesterday afternoon
by Deputy Sheriff Oroneweg and brought
across tho river. Tha Indictment charged
Martin with committing perjury In a suit
tried In the district court here last April,
In which ha appeared aa plaintiff against
John Hutchinson and others. He furnished
a bond In the sum of $600 with M. Marcus
of thla city aa surety. Fearing that Mar
tin might object to coming to Council
Bluffs without requisition papers, Deputy
Oroneweg went provided with the neces
sary credentials, 'tha requisition having
been granted by Governor Mickey.
Tho indictment, which charges Martin
with perjury, alleges that during tha course
of tha trial of the ault In question, he
testified that Hutchinson forbid and pre
vented him from going to his land and
that he waa kept out of the use of his
land by 'Hutchinson during all of tho
year 1899 and consequently was damaged
In the aum of $166. Thla testimony aa
given by Martin, it ia alleged, waa ma'
terlal to the determination of the Issues
pending In the suit and waa false and
untrue. Evidence before the grand Jury
waa. to tho effect -that Martin waa not
prevented from going on hla land, but
that he did, so through tha premises of
Hutchinson during all of the year 1899
and. waa In no way Interfered with by
Hutchinson, and further that Martin har
vested all tha crops grown on the land in
question during that year.
Held for Fvlsklaar a Drnnk.
Frank Pettit and R. A. Norton were ar
rested last evening, charged with robbing
8. J. Cummlng, an old man, who waa
badly Intoxicated. Tha amount stolen from
Cummlng had not been ascertained by the
police laat night - aa Cummlng waa too
drunk to give any Information.
Word waa telephoned to tha police last
evening about ( o'clock that three men had
a drunken man in tow near the railroad
tracka on Third avenue and were going
through hla pockets. Later another mea
ls verett Jla Turned Loose.
James Everett, the cripple wanted here
for robbing the dental office of Dra.
Williams and Hamilton, will not be brought
back from Grand Island, where ha waa
arrested on Information supplied by the
Council Bluffs police. A telegram
celved by Chief Tlbblts yesterday from
Philip Koeplln, chief of police at Grand
Island, announced that Everett had been
turned loose Thursday,
The requls)tlon papers granted by Gov
ernor Mickey were received here yester
day morning and Constable Albertl waa on
tha point of leaving for Grand Island

HAVE DESIGNS ON HENDERSON
Hla lVfva Friends Propose ' to
Former Speaker, Back la
Congress.
Pnt
DUBUQUE. Ia., Dec. - 18. (Special.) An
effort will be made by republican leaders
In the Third district of Iowa to have former
Speaker David B. Henderson, who la spend
ing the holidays In thla city, run for con
gress two years hence. The colonel says
It is his purpose to abandon ' New Tork
and return to Dubuque to reside perma
nently In the near future, and hla Intimate
frienda In thla city Interpret this" to mean
that he can be Induced to represent the
district in congress again.
Mr. HenderBpti denies the gossip relative
to hla United States senatorial aspirations,
to succeed William B. Allison when the lat
ter steps out, although the fact that ba In
tends to take up his residence In Dubuque
again lends color to these rumors.
There Is not the least doubt of the nom
Inatlon and election of Colonel Henderson
should he again aspire to congress, aa the
feeling that was engendered against him by
republicans In the western part of the dls
trict because of hla opposition to tariff re'
vision has subsided, and ha la just as pop
ular with them as he, was previous to his
withdrawal from the race for congress. For
many years there has been bitter war on
between the . 'ollowera of Governor Cum
mlna and those of Henderson for control of
the party machinery In tha state, and It
haa been hinted that Henderson waa map
ping out plana to succeed .Cummins as tha
next governor of Iowa. Tha latter has
built up a powerful machine, however, and
It Is not likely If Henderson entertains such
ambitions that he will be able to. realise
them. It la known that Cummins Is after
Dolllver'a aeat In the United States senate.
