' - -mnllar TklnhaM Matter,
Members of the Commercial club who
have not been Invited to attend or even
extended the courtesy of being notified of
the meetings recently held to formulate
plans for the organization of a local inde
pendent telephone company are much ex
ercised over the) manner in "Which they con
sider they have been slighted. Several of
the members as well as one or mora of the
members of the executive oommlttee have
announced their determination to have this
matter brought up at the next general
meeting Of the club with a view of ascer
taining who has been responsible for the
calling of these prlvate" meetings. The
Commercial club was not organised,, they
say, to play favorites, snd the question of
organising an Independent -telephone com
pany Is one In. which all ' members of ths
club are Interested.
. JFormer; .Alderman Lou", lp. a member, of
the Commercial club committee on tele

the meeting Monday night, although hs
waa present. When asked yesterday,- he
said that although a member of such com
mittee he had been unable to secure from
Secretary Reed any Information as to who
called the meeting at wTiich ft favored few
were present. Chairman Binder of the ex
ecutive committee was not notified of the
meeting and likewise received no Invitation
to attend. He, with others of the executive
committee, has taken Issue with the secre
tary and it was stated yesterday that It
was ' very probable that the Commercial
club would be looking for a new secretary
In the near future. .' ' '. '
To all Inquiries Secretary Reed. has de

private meetings, but that personal letters
signed by him were' sent to the members
Invited to attend the meetings has been
proven. The following Invitation to attend

Dear Sir: A half dosen of your friends
met at the Commercial club rooms Mon
day, June 18, and talked over the Inde
pendent telephone situation. AS you are
aware, some fifteen men, representing; over
l.Oiio Independent 'phones, met here last
week, who are very anxious to connect
with this city. It is necessary for soms
ten or twelve men to go ahead and get a
franchise from the city; the Independents
will put In some money, and there should
be a reasonable 'amount of haste In order
to. set the work under way. The Inde
pendenta have finally gotten Into South
Omaha and expect to enter Omaha within
a year. If we wait until Omaha has been
Invaded the Independents will not thes
heed us and we will miss entirely getting
direct service with the western counties of
Iowa. ' -
. It you can be Interested in this matter
and think It a good tiling will you kindly
meet with . some 'twenty-five citisens to.
nla-ht, June 20, at 8 p. m.. in the Commer.
clal club roorasT ' We will then talk the
matter over and decide to go ahead, or
else ebondon H entirely. Yours truly,
W. W. REED, Secretary.
Generally speaking, a' large number of
the members of the Commercial club are
greatly Interested in the proposition to se
cure connection with ths Independent tele
phone companies how operating in ths
vicinity of Council Bluffs, and. they nat
urally tak , exception to being - entirely
Ignored In the matter In view of the fact
the meetings are called by Secretary Reed

PECULIAR SUIT AT JEFFERSON
Widow of Mam Killed While Resisting
Arrest Asks for Daaagei
from Cltlaeas.
JEFFERSON, la., June 22.-Speclel.)-Jefferson
was thrown Into a furore ot ex
dtement this morning by the serving of
notices In a damage ault with amounts in
volving 840,000 and the defendants number
ing two dozen, of many of Our prominent
citisens. The plaintiff is Mrs. 8. M. Shlp
ff.an, whose husband was killed by a sher
iff's posse two years ago, after he had shot
and killed the city marshal, Mrs. Ship
man has for her attorneys Mr. T. A. Mugan
of this city and Messrs. Salinger & Korte
of Carroll. . The defendants are: F. B. An
derson, Fred C. Kendall, O. f. Wynkoop.
George W. Smith, John Smith, Frank Stake,
& B. Anderson, J. K.P. May, William Al
len, J. M. Thornton, John Ehrhardt, Carey
Head, William Reeder, Charles Moseman,
John Saint, J. W. , Faubel, George DayL
Archls Day and Blaine Anderson.
The commencement of this trouble dated
two years ago, when the last two of tbs
above named defendants while going down
a back, alley near the Shlpman home were
attacked by Horace Shlpman, who threw
stones at them. A warrant was sworn out
for Shlpman's arrest and placed In the
hands of Marshal John Swcarlngen and
Deputy Sheriff Kendall for service, Sheriff
Anderson being absent from the city. Ship
man, known to be a very excitable and ec
centrlo man, waa given three days to ap
pear at justice court to answer .to the
charge of assault and battery, but would
not appear.- June 21, 1902, the city marshal,
deputy sheriff and Dr. G. H. Grlmmell pro
ceeded to the house, the former with the
warrant, the family doctor going along to
pacify Shlpman should he become excited.
Shlpman met them at the door with a short
r)fle.
"Put up that sun," said Marshal Swearln-
a-n ' , . ' .'..'' ... '
Shlpman replied with a shot The bullet
struck the marshal in the neck and he fell
dead upon the steps. The , deputy., sheriff
drew his revolver and fired at Shlpman as
he retreated back Into the bouse,' wounding
Shlpman in the leg. Then the deputy and
Dr. Grlmmell came back to town. '
-Sheriff Anderson, who had arrived home
early in the morning and was at hla office,
waa notified of the shooting. He deputised
a number of citisens and proceeded to the
Shiftman residence. . ".
-Standing opposite the place Sheriff An
derson made two, separate demands upon
Shlpman to surrender. - Shlpman replied
with a shot and ths bullets sipped about
the sheriff but left him -unscathed. Sheriff
Anderson considered this sufficient to order
his deputies to open fire. In one hour
and a half Shlpman was killed by a shot
from the sheriff's shotgun as he passed
a window. In the meantime a thousand
shots had ' been poured ' Into ths house.
None of ths attacking: party were hurt.
' The coroner's Jury exonerated the sher
iff and his deputies from blame and found
that Shlpman had met his death while
resisting an officer in the discharge of his
duties. i -
In addition to the above a suit has been
filed for a similar amount against Henry
Haag, cashier of .the City bank, who waa
ens of ths sheriff's posse. Still another
suit for .110,000 has been brought ralnst
the sheriff's bondsmen, Charles Bollnk
and Joseph , W. Anderson, and also one
against Deputy Sheriff Kendall's bonds
men. If. M. Head and J. B. Keeney.
To make the thing still more Interesting
Mrs. Swearlngen, widow of the deceased
marshal, has filed suit against Mrs. Ship
man to recover the sum of 810,000 as dam
ages foe the murder of her husband.
It Is not expected that" Mrs. Shlpman
will have the case heard in Jefferson, as
the feeling here is largely in favor' of tbs
sheriff. ' Shlpman was considered a dan
gerous man by many, and had been be
fore the commission of Insanity several
times, once being placed under guardian
ship of his wife for some time. Dr. En
field, a well-known physician and member
ot ths commission, always favored sending-
him to the asylum,' but Attorney O.
8, Tollver and County Clerk Young were
a majority against this action, their opin
ion being that Shlpman was for the most
part harmless. After the sacrifice of two
lives the mistake was easily seen.

MOST OF DERELICT ONES FARMER LINES
Jeroaae Hoot, Who Attempted to Blow
ta His Wife with aa Iaferaal
Maehlae, Waats a
Pardoa,
(From a Staff Correspondent)
DES MOINES, June 23. (Special.) It Is
probable that by this time the owners of
ths farm and private telephone lines In the
state have discovered that a change was
made In ths law as to reporting, and that
the compiling of reports and preparation
for assessment Is in new hands this year.
Under the new law this was placed in ths
hands of the secretary of the State Ex
ecutive council, and Secretary .Davidson
has been going after the delinquents in a
way to suggest to them that there Is to be
no trifling with the law. He will lay be
fore the executive council this week a list
ot telephone companies that havs failed
or refused to report and ask the council 16
affix a penalty fof the failure.' He has the
names of several hundred of them. The
impression is out in the state, largely
through the looseness of the law In the
past, that the phonea which are private
property and merely used for accommoda
tion and social Intercourse, do not have to
be reported. Blanks for reports come back
without any statement as to the number
of phones in use, but with the statement
that the farmers own the phones, each one
for himself. But ths law is. rigid and all
must be reported. It Is probable that the
strict enforcement of this law will result
In a change exempting from reports all
companies that do not do a commercial
business. This was tried in the Twenty
ninth general assembly, but abandoned
when It was found that a majority of the
members of the house were Interested in
commercial telephone lines and they were
standing- together to allow no exceptions.
But the farmers may undertake a cam
paign that will put an end to the annoy
ance of annual reporting of ths farm lines,
which have completely covered the state,
for the taxes rsceived from this source
hardly pays the expense of assessment.
The reports show a steady increase every
year In the number of phones used on
faims and the state of. Iowa is now pretty
well covered with them.
Hoot Wants Parole.
After serving- in prison at Anamosa sines
November 28, 1900, on a charge of attempting-
to kill his wife through ths
agency of an Infernal machine, Jerome W.
Hoot has made an application to Governor
Cummins for a parole. '
In letters to friends regarding his appli
cation Hoot asserts that ths punishment
be has received has taught him the moral
force of self-denial and has been adequate
In overcoming- other failures of his nature.
He does not admit his. guilt, although the
statement is made that at ths time of his
incarceration the sheriff of Blackhawk
county, from which urt he was sent up,
told him that a plea, of guilty would have
made his sentence not "more than five years.
As It was after. a, trial lasting several
weeks he was sentenced for ten years.
' Hoot says he Is anitious to get back into
the world and .io win- anew a place in.
society and business,, He believes his
prison record should" be ."taken into con
sideration. ,He has taught night school In
the prison almost continuously since his
Incarceration and has. been. for soms time
the prison' librarian;
The crime for which Hoot was convicted
was committed' in the spring of the year
1900 at Waterloo, and was one of the most
cunning and desperate in plans and one
of the mo,st diabolical in the criminal an
nals of the state. That It failed to mis
carry was but an Intervening act of Provi
dence. Had the Intentions of ths convicted
man been completed bis wife. would have
been mysteriously - slain in her own home
and no explanation of the murder would
probably have ever come forth.
Test Old Soldier Law.
State officials ' and others are watching
with much Interest the proceedings of the
case which has been on trial at Marshall
town, making the first test of ths law
adopted by the last legislature declaring
that In all appointments to positions la
city, county or state ' government, the old
soldiers shall be given preference.
' C. S. Shanawald, a resident of Marshall
town and a veteran of ths war, made ap
plication there for appointment as city
clerk. The city council refused to name
him and he brought action In' the local
courts to restrain the clerk elected from
acting In that oapaclty. After the matter
had been partially heard It was agreed
that the case should be transferred to the
district court. It Is understood the attor
neys In behalf of the city will attack the
law as class legislation. Ths matter will
come up for decision at the August term
of the court.

BORAXOLOGY
Do. you remember the bright milk pans
th& clean floors and the dazzling white
clothes "down on the farm'? And do
you remember the big barrel outside the
nouse to catch the rain water, arid that it
was this rain water that was so precious
for washing? We canf t have a barrel out
side our house here but we can have a box
of Borax inside the house And when you
put Borax in the water you turn it into
rain watermake it soft And that's
why Borax doubles the cleansing power of
soap and water It should be used in
every cleansing process of the home in
kundry, kitchen, toilet, bath everywhere
you use soap and water Be sure you get
pure Borax Ask for
