One of the members of a large whole
sale grocery linn in the eastern part of
Iowa is in the city looking up a location
lor jus house. Tills is said to be but tlie
beginning of several such moves , which
will be to the benefit of Council Hlull's.
The county board buried itsoll ye.stcr-
day checking up with the treasurer , item
by item , going thoroughly through ( he
various accounts , and ( hiding everything
straight. Thai was as was expected , but
the examination was none the less thor
ough.
The elocutionary class of Professor A.
S. McKnight is hercattcr to meet in tlie
Mloomer building , in the high school
roonij instead of tlio opera house. The
class is free for all , and consists of a
thirty-live minute drill at the close of the
afternoon session. Jt is not yet too late
to receive new members for the class.
Yesterday afternoon at 2i0 : ! o'clock , at
the homo of the bride's mother on South

Wiese were joined in wedlock by the
Ifev. A. C. Doerller. The newly-wedded
couple left last evening for their future
home in Youug America , Carver county ,
Minnesota.
From tlie tact that sonic of the city of-
iicialsevcn do not know how many voting
precincts there are now in the city , it
Kccms quite probable that very few of the
citizens are callable of answering the
iuestion. The county board at its last
session reduced the number of voting
precincts in the city from nine lo live ,
there being now one for each ward except
the Fourth , which lias two.
Joe Murphy's company arrived yester
day morning , and went over to Omaha ,
evidently preferring the hotel accommo
dations of that city. They preferred to
appear here last evening and get the
Council Jllnll's shekels , however. This is
110 new trick with theater companies. It
always causes a righteous kick on the
part of Council Hlullls folks , who naturally
think the hotel accommodations here are
coed enough , and should be made use of
uy companies which appear before the
public , and ask the patronage of Council
Blull's.
A lady on route to New York came over
to this side yesterday prepared lo take the
Hock Island train for the east , and after
reaching here she discovered thatshe had
lost the through ticket purchased yester
day morning in Omaha. It was thought
that she had possibly dropped it 1:1 the
dummy tram , and three boys who had
been in the car , and who acted sus
piciously , were taken to the city jail and
.searched. The ticket was not found upon
them , and they were discharged. As the
lady iiad no money with which to pur
chase another ticket , her situation was
rather serious. She placed herself in
communication with friends , so as to re
lievo her embarrassment.

When will my buggy bedonev" was the
New Year's question put to 11. F. 1 fatten *
haitcr by one of the numerous patrons of
his largo factory.
"About the 1st of March , " came as a
reply , and it rut her opened thn eyes of
thu Her. reporter , who in his innocence
supposed that a buggy could br > made in
a jill'y. As the young man ordering the
buggy expressed a do.siro to see how the
work was progressing , the HKI ; man ac
companied him with a uttrio.slty to .see
for himself. The dill'creitt Paris of the
buggy in dillbront states of finish wuro
iliown up and closely examined. The
customer evidently knew what he wanted ,
mid was evidently getting it. He exam
ined the wheels critically , and had a
good opportunity for doing so , as thorn
was no paint to cover the work , llo
looKuil at every spoke , noticed that the
tire was so put on that it would stay for
year * . nw that the be.-t kind of timber
wad in every part. The buggy box was
alto a special object of close inspection.
Tl'u .joints were all looked over. "Yes ,
that's llie way lo make a body,1' remarked -
marked the satisfied cii-lomor. "Those
joints cannot over give way. " It cer
tainly appeared that the buggy box
would stand lor 1,000 years , ami yet it
Was as light as one could wish for.
"Wo Have to be doubly careful about
the joints nowadays , " remarked Mr.
liattcnhaner , "for since tolks have got
to using waterworks they give a buggy a
hard test. Yon sec in washing buggies
they often just till thu box itself , and then
they don't wipe it out , but will leave
water standing in it. No matter
how tight you make a joint ,
n little water , if allowed to
stand I hat way , is apt to work
into the joint , and the least bit of water
after it gets in will cause the wood to
8 > yell , and the lirst thing you Know the
joint gaps. That is only one of many
little points of dillerenco between a "ood
buggy and a cheap one. "
" \N hat 1 like about the buggy , " re
marked the customer , "is the way yon
have ironeil the body. With my old one
the bottom kept coming out , breaking
through. I see it cannot , do with this
That buggy could bo diaggcd by a run
away , and cannot be torn apart , 1 don't
believe. "
Still the HICK reporter had not learned
the whole reason why it should take so
long to make a buggy. "Well , I'll toll
you thu ohhif reason. Hesides doing all
the other work , there is a good deal of
time used in linibhing. Why it takes from
fourteen to sixteen coats of paint , and
time has to be given for every coat to
harden. There's whore one of tlio dill'er-
dices comes in between a cheap buggy
and a good one. Yon can make a buggy
look pretty good to a man who don't
know about ii , but it will not bland the
wear and tear. "
Air. Ilattcnhaucr has his factory run
ning the year round , anil thus keeps a
variety of voliiolcs always on hand , so
that any customer who is in a hurry can
get suited at once , just as well as to have
a carriage made to order. His sales
rooms nave a largo number of ro.ul
wagons , buggies , carriages , road carts ,
pluutons , in tact every style of vehicle ,
and of his own luukc. He has been here
so many years , and his work has been so
tosteit by time and wear , that the best
guarantee that one asks for is to bo
assured that it is Haltenhauer's make.
There are being finished up in the fac
tory some now wagons for the Wolls-
Fargo and the American ICxpress com
panies. They are beauties , and like all
wagons used by these companies , they
are as thoroughly built as possibles.
"If you hear of any one who wants to
get any of my finished work , just send
them around. I'll give them some bar
gains just now. 1 can't , of course , give
such prices as are asked for work thrown
together just to sell. 1 couldn't ail'ord to
nut out such work at any price , but I'll
sell any of the buggies and carriages at
lower prices than any such quality of
work was ever oll'crcd here before. I'll
make it really much oheaner than the
botch jobs can bo sold for when you con
sider the dilVoroneo in the looks and the
wear and tear. "

Under tlio Prohibitory \ \ - .
An important case has just been de
cided by Judge Shiras. of the United
States court. It is entitled Kohn & Hol
ler vs C. H. Melcher ; Wright , Baldwin &
Holdanc for the plaintiffs , and Lehman
& Park , Hockafellow & Scott for defend
ants. The plamtill's arc wholesale liquor
dealers in Hock Island , and the defendant
is a druggist at Atlantic , la. , having a
permit from the county board to ficll in
toxicating liquors. During the years 1681 ,
1882. 1833 and 1884 the phiintifls sold de
fendant about f0,500 of liquors , on which
the plaintill's claim $1,000 is still due.
In the answer and counter claim it. is
averred thai the liquors were sold in violation
lation of thu slat n to of Iowa , in that the
same wern sold by plaintill's at the town
of Atlantic , the plaintiffs not lieiug
nuthori/.cd under thu laws of Iowa to sell
liquors for any purpose. Tlio counter
claim is brought for the purpose of recov
ering back trom plaintitl's the amount
heretofore paid upon the account , under
provisions ot suction 1550 of the code of
Iowa.
The demurrer to the answer and coun
ter claim presents the question , whether ,
under the statutes of Iowa in force dur
ing the years 18S1 and 1881 inclusive ,
persons residing and carrying on busi
ness as rectifiers and wholesale dealers
in states other than Iowa , could lawfully
cell intoxicating liquors to be resold for
culinary , sacramental , medicinal ar.d
mi'ulianical purposes to a registered
pharmacist doing business in Iowa , and
holding a proper permit authorizing him
to sell liquors for the purposes named ,
provided the contract of sale between the
non-resident wholesale dealer and the
registered pharmacist was made within
the state of Iowa , and at the residence of
the latter party ,
In thu demurrer it is claimed that under
the laws of Iowa none but citi/ens can
secure a permit and the statute debarring
them from this selling was in violation of
the constitution of thu United States in
regard to commerce between states.
In the course of the decision Judge
Shiras says :
"An impartial examination of the sev
eral sections of thu statutes of Iowa on
thu subject of the sale of liquors for legal
purposes , shows that the restrictions com
plained of wore adopted , not for the pur
pose securing an undue advantage to
the citizens of the state , but for thu pur
pose of preventing violations of tlio pro
hibitory law of the state , and although in
ell'ect the ititi/.oni of other btutes , as well
. as the larger pan of the citizens of lowu ,
art ) tlai'arrc'it from telling in Iowa liquors
to be resold for legal pnrpoer ? . ami in
that sense commerce between the states
may bo ntt'cotcd , yet this is but an inci
dental result , and not a violation of the
federal constitution , and being therefore
valid , it follows that a sale of intoxicating
liquors made in Iowa , for any purpose ,
by a person not lioldimr a permit to sell ,
is unlawful , and no action can bo main
tained to recover the price of such liquors.
The demurrer to the answer is therefore
overruled. "
In regard to the other portion of the
demurrer , in resrard to the recovery of
the moneys alrca'dy paid on the account ,
the court says :
"In oases where the liquors arc sold to
he used for legal purposes to a person
having tlio right to sell the same , the
vendee receives from the render some
thing having , in his hands , a legal as well
as actual value. * * The inhibition
applies to the person , and not thu prop
erty. The plamtllV not havimr the legal
right to sell , could not make a legal con
tract of sale in Iowa , and hence coming
into Iowa to seek a recovery for tlio
liquors sold , he cannot maintain the ac
tion , because he cannot show a legal
contract with the defendant. "
"The want of a permit rendered the
vender legally Incompetent to make a
valid contract of sale , but he did not de
liver the goods for the purpose of aiding
the vendee In using or selling the same
for any purpose forbidden by the law of
Iowa , and he is not therefore open to the
charge of attempting to introduce liquors
into Iowa to bo n'seil as a beverage ,
which n = e it is the sole purpose of the
prohibitory law to prevent. He had de
livered to the vendee liquors , which had
a li'jral and actual value , in Iowa , in the
hands of the vendee , to bo used for law
ful purposes. The contract of sale he
could not enforce in Iowa , but did the
invalidity ot the contract , caused by lack
of a permit to sell on the part of the ven
dor , so far destroy his right in the liquor
that lie could not lawfully receive pay-
nuinl thereforolunlarily made in Illi
nois' If ho could lawfully receive pay
ment certainly the amount paid can not
be recovered back in an action brought
by the payer.1
"I nderstandiug that -the counsel pro-
po'-o carrying the constitutional question
presented bv the demurrer to the answer
to the courfof linal result , it would seem
best to have all the questions in the ease
decided at once , and to th.U end the de
murrer to the counter claim will be sus
tained. "

Tlio I'oUnw.'tUnmic Club.
To the Kditor of the Hui : ; A number of
gentlemen living in Council Bin it's and
vicinity met Tuesday , .January A , for the
purpose of organizing a tarill' reform
club for this locality.
After a general discussion of principles
and object for which the meeting was
called , an organization was ell'eetcd under
the name of the Pottawaltamie TarilV He-
form Club of the Ninth Congressional
district , and the following named gentle
men were elected officers ot the same :
Hon. W. II. M. PiiM-y , president ; Mr. H.
P. Butler , vice president : Mr. A. W.
liieelcmau , treasurer ; Mr. .1. L. Martin ,
secretaryColonel. ! . 11. Keatiev , Mr.C. K.
'
Anderso'n and lev. ! T. .1. Maokay , execu
tive committee.
A conference of tariff reformers of Iowa
having been called to meet in DCS
Moines on January fi , Mr. O. K. Ander
son was appointed delegate to attend the
same.
It is the desire to make this club nonpartisan -
partisan and all persons in the Ninth con
gressional district who believe that the
tarill'should bo reduced ami are willing
to meet occasionally for a social discus
sion of thu subject and to aid in bringing
the subject of such reform before the people
ple in a practical shape arc cordially in
vited to bo present at the ne\t niceing ! ,
which will be some time in the first week
in February.
In the meantime all such persons can
send their addresses to the secretary , J.
L. Martin , No 01 , Avenue (5 , city , so
that they can be notified of this time and
ph'.ce of next meeting.
As slated in the remarks , it is the de
sire to make the club non-partisan , the
more so now since the present congress
has given the country to understand in
unmistakable terms ttiat the tarill' must
not be considered a party measure , but
that the taxpayers must look to the intel
ligent , instructed and patriotic men from
both parlies for eventual relief.
Take the whole country over and I be
lieve that the consumers of eight-tenths
of all the congressional districts are fur
nishing some people in tlio oilier iwo-
le.nlhs the means for running some losing
business , and if this slruggle on import
taxation was taken out of party polities
and ieltled on its merits , or rather by in
terested parties oi taxpayers and tax
eaters , the congress of 18S8 would be
overwhelmingly for tariff reform.

Council Hltilfs has been very fortunate
in regard to fires during several years
past , and especially in IttSO. During that
year there were only 30 fires.
During 1830 there were l0 ! fire alarms ,
of which 1 m .January , 1 in February , 1
in March , 1 in June , 1 in July. 1 in Sep
tember and 1 in October were false. The
alarms were as follows ; January 8 , Feb

2 , July ! t , August S , September 7 , Octo
ber 1 , November 2. Tneru was no fire
alarm in December. Tlio total loss during
the year will not reaeli flriUU ( , which
speaks for the good work of the depart
ment. Tlie most serious fires were as
follows : January UU , Cocke it Morgan's
