Sanderson Has a Proposal.
Captain Charles Bandorson. the veteran
firs fighter of, No. 3 engine house. Is seri
ously considering the advisability of sever
ing his connection with the department In
which he has seen so many years of con
tinuous' service. Leap year la responsible
for the possibility of tho fire department
losing Banderson's services. The truth of
the matter Is Sanderson has received a
proposal of marriage, and although the
proposal was made by proxy It Is said to
be none the less genuine. i
Sanderson has an old time friend, an ex
tensive farmer In northern Nebraska, who
whenever he ships stock to the South
Omaha markets pays him a visit. Sander
son's friend has a neighbor, a German
widow, 45 years of age, with two children.
Who owns section of fine land, well
stocked, and is otherwise blessed with a
goodly share of the world's goods. To the
widow tne friend has repeatedly extolled
the good points of the veteran fire fighter
until she' has come to almoat know him.
Sanderson's friend arrived from northern
Nebraska on a visit yesterday and with
him he brought a proposal. To Sanderson
he said all that the widow asked was that
Sanderson should say. "Barkis Is wlllln'."
Sanderson had not definitely decided Inst
night what answer his friend should con
vey to the widow, aa he thought It would
be best to sleep over It before reaching a
decision.

houses.
- In his telegram Senator Saunders said
that ths thanks of the people of Council

a valiant fight for Its retention.
Although no particulars have been re
ceived here It is presumed that the new
building will be erected on the site of the
main structure which was destroyed at the
time of the fire at the institute two years

SEARCHES THE CITY TOR CLERK REED
Finally Finds Him I.ate at Sight and
Also a Minister Who Is Willing
to Work Overtime to Be
Accommodating;.
W. L. Thomason of Smlthvllle, Mo., and
Nannie C. Thomason of Platte City, Mo..
spent several anxious hours Wednesday
night searching for F. L. Reed, the clerk
of tho district court, to Issue them a mar
riage license. They are first cousins and
aa the laws of Missouri forbid such rela
tions marrying, they decided to come to
Council Bluffs and get "hitched up," aa the
groom put it.
They reached the city In ths evening
after the courthouse was closed for the
day, but nothing daunted they started to
hunt up Clerk Reed. As It happened Mr.
Reed had left home after supper without
stating where he was going. Leaving the
bride-to-be at the Kiel hotel Thomason
went on a hunt for the clerk. At the
Elks' clubhouse he learned that Mr. Reed
had left there but a few minutes before,
and similar Information greeted him at a
number of places he was eent to. Finally
he ventured Into the banquet room of the
Commercial club, only to be again disap
pointed, aa Mr. Reed was not there. At 10
o'clock, thoroughly disheartened, Thomason
retracted his weary footsteps to the hotel
and confided to the expectant bride-to-be
that It looked very much as If they would
have to defer the wedding to the next
day.
This the young woman had not looked for
and she Insisted that Thomason make an
other search for the clerk and offer any
Inducement necessary for him to go to the
courthouse and issue a license, the procur
ing of a minister, she contended, would
then be but a simple matter. Mine Host
Spetman of the hotel was appealed to and
he put the telephone In operation, and
greatly to the relief of the couple found
that Mr. Reed had Just returned.
"Would Mr. Reed mind coming to the
courthouse and Issuing a marriage license
at that time of night?"
"Why. certainly rot," came the answer.
Then Mr. Hoist telephoned fcev. A. E.
Buriff, pastor of Trinity Methodist church,
explaining the situation to the reverend
gentleman, and he likewise had no objec
tion to officiating at a wedding even at that
late hour.
These preliminaries satisfactorily ar
ranged, after tho many hours of weary
waiting, the party repaired to the court
house, where Mr. Reed Isaued the license,
and then went to Mr. Reed's house on
Sixth afreet, where Pastor Buriff shortly
Joined them, and the now happy couple
were made man and wife.
Mr. and Mrs. Thomason left yesterday
morning for Smlthvllle, where tn groom
owns a large farm. .

Passes a Forged Check.
The police are looking for a stranger
who passed a forged check on the grocery
firm of Bartell & Miller Wednesday even
ing. The fellow purchased a small bill of
goods, which he ordered sent to an address
on Ridge street, and tendered In payment
check for 110.60, purporting to be signed by
Walters Bros., the Broadway harness mak
ers. The stranger, who gave the name of
C. Johnson, claimed to be a harness maker
and that s the check was given him for
wages. He -ecelved S8.50 In change. The
occupants of the house on Ridge street, to
which the fellow ordered the goods sent.
denied any knowledge of them, and Inves
tigation showed that the check was a for
gery.
Johnson, the police learned last evening,
had succeeded In passing other checks be
sides the one he cashed at aBrtell tt Mil
ler's store. William Pfaff. a saloon keeper
on South Main street, turned one over to
the police last night. It waa for HO. 60 and
bore the forged signature of the Hoagland
Lumber company.' Johnson Is also said to
have cashed a similar check for a like
amount at a Main street grocery store.
A man answering "Johnson's" description
attempted to pass a check at Pierce's shoe
store, but failed. - He then went to Sar
gent's store, where the police are Informed
he purchased a cheap pair of shoes and se
cured $8 In change out of a check for $10.50.
which, like the others, proved to be forged.
From what the police have been able to
learn, It Is thought that "Johnson" suc
ceeded In passing all the forged checks
within the space of an hour or so Wednes
day evening, and then left town.

It out of a large sum of money for which
Thomas Paine insured his Mfe. are debating
over their verdict at the Scott county court
house tonight. The arguments of the at
torneys were concluded at 6:40 p. m. and
the Jury retired with the prospect of an all
night session devoted to the contradictory
claims of tho parties to the suit. Mrs.
Paine bases her suit on telegrams sent from
Madison, Wis., to the effect that her hus
band had drowned himself there. His bodjy
was never found and witnesses were
brought here by the order from Winfield,
Kan., Lejunto, Colo., Memphis, Tenn., and
Springfield, Mo., to testify that they hnd
seen Paine since the time, of his alleged
suicide. The fact was Impressed on most
of them by the fact that he had given
them the Woodman grip and touched them
for a loan. He went under tho name of
W. F. Worth. A handwriting expert, Wil

letters by Worth as written In Paine's
handwriting and photographs of Worth
look remarkably like Paine.

the entire fight this spring Is along these
lines. Each of the several candidates

pushed or antagonised more on national
Issues than anything else, each faction
having out candidates for these positions
as well as delegates to the county con
vention which will elect delegates to the

Roosevelt. Already some bitter words
have passed and In one Instance two well
known members of the two factions came
to blows.

DEFEAT CHILD LABOR BILL
Decisive Vo'e Against the Measure in tke
L.wr House,
RETORTS ON THE STATE INSTITUTIONS
Legislative Committee Decides to 1 n
dellnltelr Postpone the Railroad
Bill treed by the Stork
Shippers.
(From a Staff Correspondent.)
DES MOINES, March 8. (Special.)-The
bill to prohibit the employment of children
In factories, workshops, mines, quarries and
department stores, under certain condi
tions and regulations, met defeat In the
house today after It had passed the scn
nte ond had been numerously amended. The
vote wns 87 to 53 on the hill, but two of
those who voted for the bill, Messrs. Ken
dall and Hart, moved for reconsideration,
so that It can be taken' up again If there
ft encouragement The motion to recon
Bldor the bill was later defeated. The vote
on the bill was a surprise, as It was sup
posed that a much larger number would
favor the Idea of prohibiting child labor.
When thla bill was brought up at 10 o'clock
the hall of the house was overcrowded with
vlstors and persons Interested In the bill.
Including the representatives of the wo
men's clubs and associations of the state
and the labor organizations. There was
also some evidence of the stirring up of a
lobby oppoeed to the bill in behalf of the
department stores and other p!aces where
It Is profitable to employ large bodies of
children.
Some amendments were offered to make
the bill clearer and then Mr. Dow moved
to Indefinitely postpone further considera
tion and thus kill the bill at once. The
bill narrowly missed death in this manner
by a vote of 44 to 45.
Mr. Head offered an amendment to re
quire that cities and towns should be re
quired to furnish employment to children
for eight hours a day and Mr. Prltchard
moved to lay it on the table, which would
have again killed the entire bill. The mo
tion to lay It on the table was defeated.
Mr. Head admitted his amendment was Im
practicable but declared that 100 children
are ruined by idleness to one Injured by
work.
On motion of Mr. Frudden a change was
tniulo of a technical nature Inserting "such"
and striking out "under 10 years of age,"
so that the prohibitions would all refer to
the children described In the first section.
The house also ctruck out the limit of flfty
flve hours a week In factories for children
who are permitted to work. The provi
sion to make the presence of a child In a
workshop evidence of employment there
was stricken out.
The bill was then placed on its final pas
sage. The following were those who alone
voted In favor of the bill:
Buchanan. Jones, Rltter,
t'alderwood, Kendall, Robinson,
Carstensen, Kennedy, Haylor,
Cheney, KHnB, Shaffer.

The house adopted the memorial to con
gress favoring the passage of the Dolllver
bill to repeal the entire bnnl "ntO" law.
The house passed the bill to permit cities
of the second class. ajid towrut to levy a 3
mill tax for city building or tire station
The bill to require the state to pay for the
return of Insane patients who escaped was
passed and the house adjourned until 9:30
a. m.' Friday.

The morning session of the senate was
devoted almost entirely to a discussion and
debate on the Newberry bill providing for
the appointment of a state board of ex
aminers, consisting of three members, to
check up the books of county . treasurers,
and for the adoption of a uniform system
of bookkeeping In all counties of the state.
The bill was defeated 27 to 22.
Another rush of petitions came at the
opening of the senate today, most of thera
being In favor of woman's suffrage.

ltrport on the Instltntlons.
Tho reports of the twelve different com
mittees which visited the state Institutions
under the Board of Control have ben
made to the legislative appropriations com
mlttees. These reports are almost unl
formly commendatory of the managements
of the Institutions and the visitors In nearly
nil cases commended the estimates which
have been made by the Board of Control as
to the needs of the institutions. In regard
to the Deaf school the committee made no
recommendation as to removal or a new
site, but referred to the Board of Control
report on the deficiencies of the present
site near Council Bluffs. If the present lo
cation Is retained the committee finds that
the board's recommendations as to new
buildings should be respected. In regard
to the Qlenwood Institution the committee
disapproved of the purchase of more land
now and would not build the cottage for
boys asked for. The hospital at Clurlnda
should have the new cottage and other
buildings recommended by the board. The
proposed administration building at Mitch
ellvllls was not approved and the committee
which visited Eldora would strike out the
recommendation for a new cottage.
Remove a Penitentiary.
The committee which visited the Fort
Madison penitentiary condemned the Item
of more land and declared that the state
should do no mors for several years thun
to keep in repair the present buildings at
that penitentiary, with a view to ultimate
removal to a sits where sufficient ground
could be secured. In regard to the hospi
tal at Cherokee the chief recommendation
was In regard to a new water supply from
mains laid to ths river and a complete
pumping station at a cost of $27,0U0. No
good water can be had now. At the Blind
school at Vinton a new operating room for
the hospital is urgently recommended
since there Is a vast amount of surgical
work In connection with the care of the
blind. The committee which visited Inde
pendence hospital found that not all the
material used In new buildings has been
good and therefore recommended a building
Inspector. In regard to the Soldiers' Home
at Markhalltown the recommendation Is for
no more land, but for an addition to the
old peoples' building and a quartermaster's
building. In general the recommendations
followed those of Um board at all slate
Institutions, save there wns a disposition
to cut out Items wherever possible. The
appropriations committees will act on these
reKrts.
Kill Stork Shippers' Rills.
The stock shippers' bills to regulate stock
trains In Iowa were disposed of this even
ing by the railroad committee of the legis
lature, after listening to arguments on the
legnl phases of the bills. The committee
voted almost unanimously to Indefinitely
postpone consideration, which kills the
bills.
Arrest Flection .Indue.
E. C. Alton, one of the Judges at the re

CRAZY SOLDIER SHOOTS TWO
Undertakes to Murder Clerks in the Wat
Office at Washington.
LIVELY TIME WITH A LOOSE LUNATIC
Lieutenant General Chaffee Takes
Active Part In Capture aad Dis
arming of the Mm with
the Una.
WASHINGTON, March S.-Armed with
a revolver, William J. O'Brien, alias Wil
liam Duffy, an Insane discharged soldier,
today entered the War department and
going to the mail and record division, shot
Robert J. Manning, a messenger, and
Arthur Wlecker, a clerk. Miss Emma
Sax ton', another clerk, barely missed being
shot through the head.
The Injury to Manning is on the right
sldo. Just below the kidneys, and is re
garded as dangerous. Wlecker waa shot
in the arm. Refore the maniac could fire
a third time he was overpowered by Jamea
J. Dawson, a messenger. It required the
combined strength of half a doien men to
finally subdue the man. Prominent among
them was Lieutenant General Adna R.
Chaffe.o, chief of staff. The lunatic still
held tho weapon In his hnnd. when General
Chaffee noticed It and. with his left hand
on the man's throat, took the weapon
from him and also the papers In his
pocket. Majors Kean and Ireland of the
surgeon rcneral's staff were hastily sent
for and gave first aid to the Injured men
before they were taken lo the emergency
hospital.
7lreri WUhoal Warning.
O'Britn or Duffy came to the War de- 1
partment enrlv nnd hunt nronnil tbe bnlM- 1
Ing for more thnn an hour. Ho was es- !
corted to the mail and record division by
Charles Gannon, one of the rlerks. The
man wns Introduced to Charles Brandt,
chief of the division, and expressed dissat
isfaction with his discharge papers. Then,
without a word of warning, he drew tho
pistol from his pocket and aimed It directly
at Mr. Rrandt's head. Brandt ducked and
the bullet entered the arm of Mr. Wlecker.
He then turned the weapon on Miss Sexton
and fired. She, too. dodged and the bullet
struck Manning. There were five other
clerks In the room at the time and but for
tho quickness of Messenger Dawson the
mnnlnc undoubtedly would have shot them
all. Dnw..on grabbed him and held him
until assistance came.
Consternation Anionn; Clerks.
The greatest consternation prevailed In
the department when, tho sound of the
shots was heard. Women rushed from the
rooms screaming and soon were joined by
a number of the male clerks. From every
quarter came army officers In uniform and
a vast throng clogged the corridors, w.:era
O'Brien was struggling to break away fiom
his captors. The man was taken to tha
police station, It requiring four men to get
lilm out of the building.
"O'Brien was admitted to St. Elizabeth's
asylum In 1893. Ho later was paroled, but
was 'returned in 1W7. He served In the
Sixth cavalry and Third artillery.
