The Pottawattamie County .Bar associ
ation met at the court house yesterday
afternoon to receive th report of the com
mittee consisting of Spencer Smith, Em
met Tinley and H. J. Chambers, appointed
to Investigate the charges filed by Alex
ander Campbell and wife against Attorneys
Frank Slilnn of Carson, and Fremont Ben
jamin of this city, who acted as counsel
for the Campbells In their protracted liti
gation over the farm they formerly owned
In Waveland township. The committee in
Its report fully exonerated Messrs. BUtnn
and Benjamin. "There Is not In our opin
ion any evldenoe even tending to sustain
In the remotest degree the charge against
Messrs. Bhlnn and Benjnmln. In . fact it
appears without the semblance of a con
troversy that complainants have no Just
reason to criticise any part that they took
In their matter,' said the committee.
In closing its report, which contains an
exhaustive review of th case and th evl
denoe submitted before H, the committee
has this to say:
It appears sll through the evidence that
Alexander Campbell, after his return from
Alaska, endeavored to Inveetlgate the con
dition of the court record Involving the
several cases connected with hi trouble
with the Armstrongs, and being unfmlliar
with court proceedings and, court records
was unable to thoroughly understand the
pleadings filed (n the cases' and the entries
made by the Judges. It Is quite evident
that being unfamiliar with the court rec
ord he became confused, and out of this
confusion he became unduly i!p!c!o" that
he had not been fairly treated and tins, in
our opinion Is the foundation for his idea
that prompted the filing of these charges.
The Bar association adopted a resolution
to the effect that hereafter no charges
against any attorney would be entertained
unless sworn to, signed by some member
of the bar and filed with the grievance com
mittee, which shall report to the associ
ation after Investigation, the charges not
to be made public before reported to the
association by the grievance committee.

Special Meettag of Coanell.
A special meeting of the city council
for Friday evening was called yesterday
by Mayor Macrae In order that the reso
lution authorising him to can . a special
election,' at which .the ordinance granting
the Council Bluffs City Water Works com
pany a new franchise for twenty-five
years, may be submitted to the vote of
the people, may be adopted In regular
form. This authority was granted tho
mayor by the council Monday night in
the form of a motion before the company's
acceptance of the ordinance had ben filed.
The -motion granted the mayor authority
to call the special election as soon as the
acceptance of the waterworks company
was filed. In order that no question might
arise as to the legality of this action, it
was deemed best to have the authority
granted the mayor by resolution and sub
sequent to the filing of the acceptance by
the company.

tnnn tn Monona countv, was burled at
Whiting Tuesday, aired 9 vears. Mr.
Irish had been in good health until re
cently, and Dassed ttwav without naln.
He came to Monona county in ini4 from
Bonhomme. S. D.. where he was driven
out by the Indians, and for many years
was one of the prominent farmers of Lake
lownsnip, ana in early days a prominent
greenback politician. Mr. Irish was a lieu
tenant of a cavalry company in 164. dur
ing the Indian troubles, and was the first
territorial treasurer of Dakota, but never
handled any funds, fighting Indians and
grasnhoppers being his chief business. For
some years he hail been known as the
oldest voter In the county and never failed
to attend all elections, making his last
trip to the polls In an automobile, which
he took delight In comparing with his first
trips made ith ox teams.
CRESTON Two attempts on his own life
within two days and the last attempt an
energetic and nearly successful effort, Is
the record of Ed Anderson of this city,
who attempted a rather ui Ique method of
suicide In the county Jail Inst evening,
where he had been Incarcerated after an
attempt on his lire Monday afternoon.
when he endeavored to cut off his wind
pipe with a large, blunt knife and only
succeeded In losing a quantity of blood ar.d
driving hl8 aister, with whom he was stay
ing, to an extremity of terror. The po
lice were notified and took charge of the
man, placing mm in The county lali tor
fcty. I.ast night the sheriff was awak
ened by a disturbance and found Ander
son with his head between the wall and a
heavy Iron bedstead, trying to strangle
himself. Anderson Is a powerful man and
the combined assistance of everyone within
call was required to dissuade him from his
purpose, ite was recently discharged by
the railroad company at this place and I
thought to be Insane and mentally Irre
sponsible. Ho will probably be committed
to Clarlnda.

Mop Gone-Who has our office mopT
That's the question that has been agitat
ing our minds since Monday morning. It
Is not a very elevating subject, we will
admit, but we need the mop powerful bad.
And It's gone, gone from Its familiar cor
ner by the sink. It waa a good mop as
mop go, and would not have left our em
ploy of Its own volition. It must have
been ooaxed away by some evil hand, and
that hand will never be permitted to grab
the handle of the pearly gates unless our
mop Is returned and that right shortly.
