B. F. Morris of Kmghistown. Ind., on
of the many victim of the Lafayette Park
addition to Council Bluffs swindle, who
recently sent' to have recorded here a deed
to six lots In this famous addition, has
been heard from again. Recorder Smith
when sending the deed back after It had
been duly recorded Informed Mr. Morris
that the two lots were valueless, being at
the bottom of the Missouri river. Mr.
Morris now writes Recorder Smith asking
him to make an affidavit relative to the
location of Lafayette Park addition. From
Mr. Morris letter It appears that Thomas
Starr of Muncle, Ind., had also been In
duced to purchase some of the Lafayette
addition lots and it Is supposed from Mr.
Morris' request that Recorder Smith make
an affidavit relative to this now notorious
swindle that he and Mr. Starr are planning
to recover their money paid for the worth
less property. The deed to the six lots sent
here by Mr. Morris showed that the con
sideration paid was $18,000, being $3,000 a
lot.

public alleys are designed for use as thor
oughfares by the general public and not
as dumping places for all manner of refuse.
All manure, gar bare and refuse of all kinds
should be placed on private property until
hauled away, is the mayor's official opinion.
The ordinance Is to be presented to the
city council at Its next meeting, Wednes
day, May 28. It is said that It will meet
with more or less opposition as In some In
stances It will work a hardship. For In
stance, In the downtown district there are
a number of bams located. In the alleys
which have no other place to dump their
refuse until such time as It can be hauled
away. The same applies to a number of
business houses, who have no other place
but the alley In which to dump their rub
bish until it can be taken away.
In connection with Mayor Macrae's cam
paign tor a clean city, Chief of Police Rich
mond, has Issued notice that no refuse must
be dumped Into Indian Creek or on the

Vanderpoort and his friend hied themselves
across the river, where they evidently
iouna more man sumciem to quencn tneir
thirst. Now Malvern happens to be what
is known In Iowa as a "dry town," so Van
derpoort and his friend seized the oppor
tunity while across the river of laying; in
a stock of bottled goods.
On the return trip to Council Bluffs Van
derpoort was considerably under the in
fluence of his deep potations In Omaha
and had to be put off the car. His friend
went to his assistance, but when he saw
the patrol wagon drawing nigh he decided
to leave Vanderpoort to his fate. At the
city Jnll Vanderpoort was relieved of three
quart bottles of whiskey and one pint flask
of the same liquor. He was much con
cerned over the disappearance of his
friend, who, he said, had some bottled
goods belonging to him.

London Stock Market,
LONDON. May lS.-The feature of the
week on the stock exchange has been the
great strength of all high class securities
and events generally have been favorable
to the markets. It Is believed that Japan
could eaally place another loan here, and
the success of the present Issue has con
tributed to the confident feeling which has
been greatly assisted by the signing of the
convention with the Chinese government
for a supply of labor to South Africa
Most of the markets participated in the
rise In prb-es, but the American section
S roved an exception. An unfavorable In
uence affecting Wall street, the gold ex
iMirts and the unsatisfactory crop reports
had a weakening Influence here. Mexican
railway Issues attracted great attention
and there was a substantial rlae on the an
nouncement of the dividend.

DES MOINES. May 15. (Special.) The
republican state convention is to be held
In Des Moines this week for the purpose
of naming four delegates to the national
republican convention at Chicago. The
four delegates are already named in fact
so that there 'Is not very much for the
convention to do. These four delegates
to the national convention' are Governor
A. B. Cummins, Senator W. B. Allison,
Senator J. P. Dolllver and Joseph W.
Blythe. The governor represents the. tariff
revisionists, who insist that the republican
party will enter upon an examination of
the tariff schedules with a view to deter
mining whether any of them are too high
and the last named of the four represents
the standpatters, who are Insisting that
there shall be nothing done now or at any
time in the future looking to changes In
the present tariff schedules. The fight In
the state, so far as there has been any,
has been on this Issue. The two senators
are rather noncommittal, though both
heartily endorse the platform of last year
and the year previous In the state and the
national platforms from which these state
platforms were made. It Is believed that
three of the four delegates to be named
would. In case of an Issue In the national
convention, stand for a platform that
wou,d mako poB8lbIe tariff revision,
, T1A invention nrellmlnarles are
The convention preliminaries are all ar
ranged for. The convention will be held In
the Auditorium, and there will be dis
trict caucuses for eleven congressional dis
tricts. These will precede the state con
vention. The work of the caucuses has
been pretty well mapped out and there
has been no material change in the situa
tion as to the district delegates In the past
month. Some question has been raised
in the Sixth, Fourth, Second and Eleventh
districts, where the situation is not en
tirely clear as to what will be done. The
standpatters have made an effort to cap
ture the Sixth district and the Fourth and
hope to get at least one delegate In the
Eleventh, but are not sure of any of them.
Party Veterans to Come.
John N. Irwin of Keokuk, who many
years ago was a factor in Iowa politics,
is to be the temporary chairman of the
convention. He will deliver a conservative
speech and it Is understood will speak
for revision and reciprocity much along
the lines of the state platform. He was
selected for this task some time ago,
though he has not appeared a', a state
convention for many years and will have
to be Introduced to most of the delegates.
There will be most of the state leaders
present. Secretary Shaw will arrive In
the city tomorrow and remain for the
convention. He will speak for the ad
ministration. Solicitor of the Treasury M.
D. CConnell and Director of the Mint
Roberts will also be here, The entire
congressional delegation will be on hand.
Governor Cummins and the state Officers
will be conspicuous. It ' will be a con
ventlon with some opportunity for oratory,
for It will not have much to da The
platform committee will prepare the plat
form and the delegates are already se
lected. Second State Convention.
A second state convention will be called
fof the ,electlon of th, 8tat. Ucket and
for the reorganization of the republican
state committee for the campaign. The
present state committee has opened head
quarters and Is dolrujr business, but only
In a preliminary way. It la not yet known
who will be chairman of the state com
mlttee, but the present chairman, R H
Spence, of Mt. Ayr, la most likely .to
receive the honor again.
No state campaign will be started until
late In the fall. The congressional norni
nations have all been made or are out
lined, except In the Second district. The
delegates from that district to the' state
convention are understood to be coming
to the convention to ask conservative
action at the hands of the convention so
as to pave the way for a victory in that
district in the fall. Judge Wade, the dem
oc ratio nominee, will make a hard fight
for re-election and the convention might
easily make It hard to put up a campaign
against him. . This Is the only district of
the state where there Is any doubt
Democrats Are Dtssattafled.
The democrats are dissatisfied with a
part of the results of their state convention
and there la strong talk of deposing the
chairman of the state committee. The
stste convention, in its seal to get the or
ganization Into the hands of the Bryan
forces, passed a resolution directing the
state committee to elect A. W. Maxwell
as chairman of the committee, and to make
sure he would be able to retain the place
the same resolution made Charles . A
Walsh, national committeeman, a member
of the state committee. The deposed chair
man, A. E. Jackson, la classified as anti
Hearst, but a very fair man. Now It Is
proposed that Maxwell shall not be recog
nised by the committee as chairman and
that Jackson be retained. Maxwell has
found It necessary to come out In his own
paper with a pledge that hewlll be fair
to all factions and not be chairman of only
a part of the committee, but it Is doubtful
If this, will satisfy the democrats. The
second state convention may undo tho
work done by the first In the matter of
reorganizing the state committee. 1
Controversy Over Brick.
A peculiar controversy has arisen In
this city over the brick paving on streets
where the paving has been abandoned.
The city claims that the brick which is
to be takert up belongs to the city, while
property owners who paid for the paving
claim that they should be allowed to haul
the brick away. Suits were brought In
court to test the matter, and finally the
city decided upon apollcy of covering the
old brick over and leaving them undis
turbed, thus avoiding the bringing of the
matter to a direct Issue.

They generally believe the overtures were

other purpose.

At the last meeting it was decided that
the county plan of organisation should be

BROOKS WINS IN PRIMARIES
Real Test of Strength In Guberna
torial Fight Reached In Lara
mie County.
CHEYENNE, Wyo., May 16. Special.
Hon. B. B. Brooks, the Casper stockman,
will undoubtedly head the next republican
state ticket, and his friends predict that
he will be elected governor by a handsome
majority. It was about a standoff between
Messrs. Brooks and Governor Chatterton
In the race for the gubernatorial nomina
tion up to last evening. Both sides ad
mitted that their man would have to carry
Laramie county to win out In the state
convention, which will be held at Laramie
next week. Mr. Brooks won here in a most
decisive manner. In only one precinct in
the city did Mr. Chatterton's friends win
out In South Cheyenne he was strongest
and won over Mr. Brooks by twelve ma
jority, giving Mr. Chatterton five delegates
in the county convention.
The standing of the delegations from
other counties In the state is not definitely
known, but enough Is known to lndlcato
that Mr. Brooks will be the choice of the
convention. Mr. Chatterton has the Fre
mont, Johnson, Big' Horn, Sweetwater and
Carbon county delegations, a total of
forty-five votes. It Is said he also has at
least nine of the nineteen delegates from
Uinta, which. If the report Is true, gives him
fifty-four votes in the convention. Sixty'
three are necessary to elect.

divergent and contradictory, though pro
ducers were somewhat better engaged.
There was some erratic Improvement In
the demand for China, but nevertheless the
week was disappointing to most of the
sellers. The weakness in the Uverpool
market proved prejudicial to the trade In
India shirtings, though - there were fair
transactions In lighter fabrics. The nearer
continental outlets were fairly busy. For
Ea-VDt the inulrv was comparatively Rood.
Inquiries for printing and finished goods
for delivery in the winter resulted in oc

Golas;. LOS ANGELES. May 16. Today was wel
comed by the delegates to the Methodist
general conference as a day of rest, after
a week of continuous sessions either of
the conference or of the various commit
tees. While enough visiting bishops and
ministers volunteered their services to the
pulpit supply committee to fill every pul
pit in the city and suburban towns, at both
morning and evening services the great
body of delegates rested and talked over
the events of yesterday's session of the
by the following bishops were
preached today: By 1L W. Warren, at
Boyle Heights Methodist Episcopal church;
Bishop D. 11. Moore, Centennial Methodist
Episcopal church; Bishop F. W. Warne,
Boyle Heights, evening; Bishop H. J. Vin
cent, Vincent Methodist Episcopal church,
where ceremonies were held; Bishop Earl
Cranston, Blanchard's hall; Bishop Joseph
C. Hartzcll, First Methodist Episcopal
church, Pasadena.
All other Methodist pulpits In the city
and many of other denominations were oc
cupied by visiting clergymen. At the First
Methodist Episcopal church, this city, Dr.
Joseph Berry led a large evangelistic mass
meeting, and at Simpson's 'Auditorium Dr.
Frank Mason North, George P. Eckman
and J. W. Bashford made addresses to a
large crowd.
Harvard's pavilion was crowded to over
flowing to llBten to a sermon by Dr.
Waddy Moss, fraternal delegate from the
Methodist church In England, and at the
same place tonight there was a meeting
of the Women's Home Missionary society.
Bishops Sobjects of Discussion.
The happenings at yesterday's session of
the conference, when a vote was taken
upon the retirement of five bishops, fur
nished a live toplo of dlsousslon among the
delegates today. The general opinion of
the delegates that when the report Is given
tomorrow morning it will show a decided
majority In favor of the report of the
episcopacy committee recommending- the
retirement of Bishops Vincent, Walden,
Andrews, Mallalleu and Foes.
The prompt and determined manner in
which the subject was put through the
conference yesterday In the face of strong
efforts to postpone definite action until
Monday was much commented upon. There
are a certain number of delegates, espe
cially among the laymen, who are disposed
to criticise the manner in which the five
aged bishops were deprived of their high
offices, but the leaders seem to feel re
lieved that the most unpleasant duty of
the conference has been performed, and

A NEW PRINCIPLE IN MEDICAL
SCIENCE.
For years It has been the practice of med
leal men to treat patients suffering from piles
by local, external application!. These treat
ments give bat temporary relief, but have
never affected s positive cure
After months of research and study, ac
companied by actual experience with various
patients, Dr. C. A. Perrin arrived at a posi
tive conclusion as to the exact action of the
various parts of the bowel system, under
different conditions, and when subjected to
various prescriptions.
Me finally prepared that wonderful Inter
nal remedy known as Da. Pxiein's Pu-K
Specific, which is put up in bottles, retail
ing st all reliable drug stores for $1.00 each.
This Internal remedy has been on the mar
ket for the past ten years, and In all oi that
time there has been but three cases where a
positive cure has not been effected.
Dr. Perrin's Pile Specific Is sold under a
positive guarantee by the druggist making
the sale, to refund the full purchase price,
providing the remedy fails to cure. This b
the absolute proof of its merit. Any man
or woman who suffers from blind, bleeding,
Itching or internal piles can try this internal
remedy with th absolute certainty that h
will cost nothing unless it cares. Hers is
what one sufferer says of this wonderfu'
remedyi

THREATEN A GENERAL STRIKE
Elevator Ballders and Their Men Fall
to Come' to Any
Agreement.
I'l 1 1 LA P F: LIT U A., May 16. Because the
700 elevator constructors now on strike In
this city for increased wages and the
right to go out on sympathetic strike has
been Ignored. It Is claimed by the Mnster
Elevator Builders, the Master Board of
Elevator Constructors' union Is contem
plating an International strike. President
Qompers and Vice President Duncan, of
the American Federation of Labor wtll
meet the national board of elevator men
here on Tuesday when the question will be
determined.
The strike In this city Is against the
combination of elevator builders which
controls 75 per cent of the work in the
world. The contention is on tho sym
pathetic strike principle. Members of the
board said tonight they had cabled to the
elevator constructors in London, Berlin
and Paris, and had received assurances
from London and Berlin that the men
there will strike If called on. The men
there are not affiliated with the union in
this country, but sre employed by the com
bination which controls elevator ennxtruo
tlon in the United States. An officer of
Morse, W illiams & Co., which firm Is In
the combination, said the employers were
aware of the intention of tho strikers
and added that nearly all the Independent
builders have joined the combination for
the purpose of fighting the sympathetic
strike principle.
