A7dl0t CURRENT NEWS OF IOWA COUNCIL1 BLUFFS IIIMIAS TALKS FOR BURNS Address Likely to Occupy Another Day and s Half in Delivery. FIRES SOME HOT SHOT AT PLAINTIFF Denies There la Any Evidence to show a Partnership Existed Be terpen Barna and Doyle In Claims 1st Controversy, Attorney C. 8. Thomas began yesterday morning the opening argument for the de fense in the Doyle-Burns suit and the expectation la that it will be Friday noon before he will close. At the former trial Congressman Smith made the opening and Senator Patterson the closing argument for the defense Senator Patterson, however, will not be heard at this trial, as Con gressman Smith is booked to follow Mr, Thomas and make the closing argument. Mr. Thomaa' line of argument yeater day was that there never existed any part nership between Doyle and Burns and that Burns never entered Into contract with Doyle whereby the latter was to share In any of the claims ' that he, Burns, had located 'or might locate. Opening his argument he said after a short preface: "I want to say at the opening thnt this Is a case conceived in sin and brought forth in iniquity and that it is brought In the state of Iowa becauso the plaintiff knows that In his own home, beforean Jury of his own countrymen and In the courts of his own commonwealth, his case would not stand the test for an hour. That Is the reason why there has been imported into this Jurisdiction this case to be submitted to this jury." After conceding that the basis of the suit was the question whether a partner ship such as is claimed by the plaintiff existed between Doyle and Burns, Mr. Thomas said: "The contract claimed has not even been remotely proven either to have been made on or immediately after February 2, 1892, or at any time thereafter. The contract as originally stated Imposes no obligation on Mr. Doyle whatever. All he had to do was to go and -help himself to what Mr. Burns had or might thereafter obtain." Denying absolutely that any contract of partnership in any shape, manner or form was ever entered into between Doyle and Burns, Mr. Thomas argued that what ever work Doyle may have done for Burns on any of the three claims Involved In the suit had been paid for by Burns either in cash or In return work. Referring to the famous "memorandum" book of Burns, introduced at this trial by the plaintiff, Mr. Thomas argued that the book itself was sufficient evidence to deny Doyle's claim and to, prove that what work he had done he had been hired to do and had been paid for it, as were other men em ployed by the defendant and whose names also appear in this memorandum or time book.

Bluffs Mea Are Honored. Delegates from this city to the Iowa grand council of the Royal Arcanum at Waterloo returned yesterday morning. Al though not successful In securing next year's meeting for this city, the local coun cil got several Important offices In the grand council. Charles A. Beno was re elected grand vice regent, and the same honor befell A. E. Brock, grand treasurer, and George H. Nlcoll, grand trustee. A. T. KUcklhger was re-electexl chairman of tha committee on laws and J. H. Arthur to the committee on literature. While at Waterloo the delegation did some good boosting for the firemen's tour nament to be held In this city In June. Waterloo has only recently developed from a volunteer to a paid Are department, and as It possesses but two companies, will be unable to send a team to the tournament. The delegation, however, was assured by the city authorities that the city would be well represented here, as tlie members of the fire committee and several of the fire men would attend and take part In the big parade.

NEBRASKA LOSES ESTATE Iowa Supreme Court Isoldes Against Children of Florenoe Man. TWENTY-FIVE MILLION DOLLARS IN TAXES Schools Abaorb Over One-TRIrd of All the Money Collected In the . State of I own, with Cltlea Kest. (From a Staff Correspondent.) DES MOINES, April lJ.-l9peclal )-By a decision of the supreme court handed down today the two children of William Fred erick Parker, who resided at Florence, Neb., will not share In the will of their grandfather, J. Monroe Parker, who died at Davenport Some years ago. The estate was a large one. William Frederick Parker, one of the three children, resided at Florence with Pauline Frasslnet, and two children were bom to them. The father left his vast estate, some .of which is In land In Nebraska, to his children, to be held by trustees. In case Of the death of any without lawful ISsue the share waa to be divided equally among the living child ren or their lawful issue. - One son died without Issue. The question before the court was whether or not WIlMam - Fred erick Parker and Pauline Frnsslnet were ever lawfully married. The court holds that they were not. though they lived to-. gether from 1886 till the death of William In 191)2. The court holds 'that though the father recognised the oldest of the two sons In writing, and though he verbally ac knowledged both to be his children, under the terms of the will they cannot share In the distribution ot the estate. The entire estate will, under this decision, go to the surviving son. In the decision of the court It Is pointed out that William at all times treated Pauline Frasslnet as his house keeper and never referred to her as his wife, but paid her $4 a week wages and kept a careful account of the money he paid her, always deducting for time that she lost. They lived under his idea of mar riage that It Is a civil contract. Totals of Tas Levy, Taxpayers of Iowa must contribute $:B, 893.842.68 to the support of school, munici pal, city and state government this year. This sum Includes all the taxes levied In the state on the 1904 valuations, excVt special improvement taxes in cities and the mulct tax law. It Is not quite $100,000 more than the tax levy for last year, which was 126,598,613.68. Of the tax collection, by far the largest sum goes t district schools, which will re ceive $9,332,807.65. The county school fund will also receive $6:9200.14. The counties will get $2,644,036.16. while the municipalities of the stnte require $4, 021,626.16. The state Itself gets $1,919,263.67. Selling; State Lands. In the land office of the Secretary of state today the Island In the Missouri rlvc-r south of Sioux City and near Sergeant Bluffs is being sold. There are several, persons In the city to bid on the land. The Island contains about 533 acres, and Henry Oehlerklng, one of the squatters, made a bid for a large part of the land. Accord ing to a peculiar provision of the law he can take the entire tract at the appraised valuation of $7,673.23 If he wishes, even though others bid much, higher. The Cut off land case from Coancit Bluffs comes under the same law and the secretary of state will ask the next legislature to change the law. . , .'j a. ; Lee Sets Fire It. Jail. Harry Lee of Omaha, wanted in that city for robbery of a diamond from a Mr. Can non, attempted a jail delivery today by setting fire to the city Jail,. The flames were fed by timbers which were shoved through the bars of the Jajl by some one outside. Lee was caught when the flames were lick ing the rafters. He was placed in a cage, awaiting the time when Detective Maloney starts back with him. The Are damage was small. North America will be held at Ningra Falls. N. T.. Tuesday and Wednesday. June 3) and XI, 1906. The representatives from Tangier temple of Omaha to this meeting are John T. Tatea, Luther B. Hoyt, George S. Powell. David S. Clark and Henry C. Akin. Los Angeles Is making a strenuous effort for the next annual meeting, in 1906, of the Imperial Council NEW CITY STREET LIGHTING Contract with Electric Company Makes a Problem for f " Council. Councllmen have not yet started to make arrangements for the location of the 125 new arc lamps which will be available under the new $75 contract with the light ing company. Although , the number of lamps required to bring the total up to the minimum of 600 specified In the contract Is only sixty-one, the cut In the price will give more than double this number with out using more money than has hereto fore been paid out for electric street lights, or $49,800 annually. The Third ward la fully equipped with arc lamps, unless the proposed iron pole Installation will make additional lights necessary to get the same results now obtained by intersection sus pension. Without this contingency 125 lamps will be left for distribution among eight wards, giving them .fifteen apiece. Little has been said as to the plan for distributing the new arc lamps, but it has been proposed to make them displace as many gasoline lamps as possible and, per haps, a few gas lamps. In. the suburbs, it is declared, one arc lamp can give more efficient results than halt a dosen gasoline lights, which cost the, city $28 a yeur each. Nothing can be learned as to when the gas company Intends to submit its propo sition for a new contract. It U said that the ordinance will be held back until Act ing Mayor SSImman Is out of the chief ex ecutive's chair, as his hostility to the gas company is recognised as having consid erable force when lomblned with the veto power. There are conflicting reports as to when Mayor Moores Wfjl return. One has it that he and Mrs. .Moores will be back as soon as warm weather Is a sure thing here, while apparently well authenticated gossip has It that the mayor will not be back Before June 1, as he and his bride are going to Los Angeles and the Pa cific coast for a stay there. As a hangover of the electrlo light con tract fight, which Is now settled and out of ths way, It Is asserted that the gas interests would have enjoined the ordinance If the acting mayor had not signed It last night on the minute of Its passage. UNITED PRESBYTERIANS MEET Her. Dr. Tnrnbnll C horn Moderator for the Coming; Year at Tuesday's Session, Rev. D. R. Turnbull, was elected mod erator for the coming year to succeed Rev. W. E. Dunlap at yesterday's session of the United I'restiyterlan church In the Central church, corner of Twenty-fourth and Dodge streets. Rev. Andrew Ronwlck of South Omaha was elected clerk. There were about twenty delegates from different parts of the presbytery. The .business before the presbytery Is of a routine character, no question of sing ular importance having arisen requiring at tention. The business relates mainly to home mlslons, and the amounts that will t given to the various missions. An ap propriation will be made during thla sitting of the presbytery In aid of the construction of a church at Ewlng, Neb. There was a conference last night on the activities of the church, at which addresses were made showing with circumstantial exactness the results of ihurch work in the presbytery. At last evening's session of the Vnlted Presbyterian presbytery of the Omaha dis trict In the Central church the subject of the activities of the church was gen erally discussed by the delegates. The discussion related to Sunday achools, the Young People's and the Woman's Mission ary societies and the rrayer and social meetings. Rev. C. M. Rilclile, pastor of North Bend church, made the principal address on Sunday schools. Mrs. French read a report on Woman's Missionary- so cieties. These societies have been in ex istence for twenty years; their- receipts aggregate $120,000, and they support mis sionaries all over the world. The society at large supports fifty woman missionaries in foreign fields, five of whom are physi cians. The plon that each member of the societies should contribute 1 cent a day for a year has resulted in the collection of a .fund of nearly $.12,000. One missionary In Egypt Is supported by the United Fres byterlans of Omaha. Prof. McLean spoke on tjie social meetings of the church. AlthougH It Is has not been definitely agreed upon, it Is probable a call will be extended by the Central church of Omaha to Rev. Ralph Atkinson of Sparta, lit Rev. C. M. Ritchie has received a call from the church at North Bend nnd Rev. H. B. Taylor to the church at Ewlng. Rev. Tyler and Elder W. A. Montgomery asked that a donation- of $750 and a loan of a like sum be made from the church extension fund : for a new church at Ewlng, Neb. After some discussion It was agreed to donate $600 and to loan $600. The church will cost about $2,000. The concluding session of the presbytery will be held this forenoon, at which the election of officers will be completed.
