Death Without Warning.
The announcement came with shock
ing surprise to this community yester
day morning that Mr. Edward Irons
was dead. He was about the xtrcctstho
day before as usual , attending to his
business as usual , in apparent good
health , and when ho went homo at the
close of business there was not the least
indication that there WOH any approach
ing sicklieps , much less death. When
the hour cnmo for the family to retire
he conducted prayers , as was his custom ,
and about 10 o'clock went to bed. About
fifteen minutes later his wife heard him
making a peculiar noise and she tried
to uroiiho him but found him unconscious.
She summoned help and a physician ,
but in almost as brief time as it takes to
tell the details ho breathed his last.
Ho had evidently no intimation that ho
was Hearing the end , for he had not
complained in the least of any illness or
peculiar .sensations , death coming with
out any apparent warning.
Mr. Irons was born in England , and
was in his forty-sixth year. Ho had re
sided hero a score of years , and was well
known in business and social circles.
For some time he was engaged in the
mills here , but the dust attectcd his
lungs , and for this reason ho made a
change , by which his health might bo
bettered. With the exception of this
lung trouble ho seemed to bo unusually
robust and hearty , and few who looked
upon him imagined that in any respect
he had ailments. It is supposed that a
clot of blood stopped the heart's action ,
thus causing the sudden death.
Mr. Irons has lately become the sec
retary and treasurer of the new Council
Bluffs Lumber company , nnd was just
getting its business in shape to bo in
creased nnd enlarged in all the direc
tions which would suggest themselves
to a man of his known enterprise nnd
ability.
In the Baptist church of this city ho
was one of the strongest members. Ho
wns known as "Deacon Irons , " from the
length of .time ho had occupied that
position. Ho was also superintendent
of the Sunday-school , a position in
which ho was greatly esteemed , both by
ofllcers and scholars. Ho will be greatly
missed , for ho had bravely borne his
part in the many struggles and varied
experiences which have attended the
building up of the church.
He loaves a wife and ono son. Ernest ,
a hid of about twelve years. The fun
eral will meet ut the house at 2 o'clock ,
and the services at the church will bo
at 2:30 : o'clock. The Sabbath school
scholars are particularly invited to bo
present , this boin most bo lit ting in
view of the relationship ho bore .to
them.

Downing Drink Shops.
Yesterday afternoon Judge Deomor
heard a number of saloon cases , in
which applications were made for permanent -
manont injunctions. The change in the
public feeling was strikingly manifest ,
for there were very few who attended
the hearing out of curiosity , and these
few yawned , and teemed to bo more concerned -
corned in having some warm corner in
which to sit , rather than to pay any
special attention to the matter in hand.
The proceedings were dreary of any
sensational features , and the calling of
the docket at the opening of term was
an exciting episode in comparison. In
some of the cases there were continu
ances , in others , motions taken
under advisement. The case
against Jacob Apcl wns heard.
Tito two informers , Hardy and Alexan
der , who wore employed some time ago
at $3 a day and expenses to get evi
dence against the saloons were on the
stand. They testified about as in other
cases , but the examination was not so
long nor so spicy as when they Ilrst
appeared in ublie. There was a slight
ripple when Mayor Groneweg was
called as a witness for the proboeution.
The mayor could not swear whether
there was n bar room in the rear of
Apel's grocery store or not. Ho had
not been in the place for some time , ho
could not remember exactly when. Ho
did not know what the general reputa
tion of the place was in this respect.
Ho believed that Bomo time ago Mr.
Apcl used to pay the city a license , but
that was for soiling drinks not prohib
itcd by law. He did not know whether
Apel had obeyed this ordinance or not.
Another witness for the prosecution
wns Max Mohn , the owner of the Creston -
ton house. He was also in ignorance of
whether Apel kept a bar or not. Ho
had not been in thcro for a long time.
Tlie prosecution had to fall back onto
the two informers , who had bought
liquors there.
This , was a sample case. The evidence
wns such as has been heard in numerous
other cases before , with only a change
in the way of bringing in witnesses from
the anti-prohibition side , in the hope of
getting them to give some facts wnich
would strengthen the fight against the
saloons.
The contempt cases arc not yet called
up. They and other cases will be heard
later , and some decisions in cases heard
yesterday will bo given later , there be
ing points on which the court wants n
little more light. That the general
drift will bo against the saloons is con
ceded.

S. M. Tinnier , a farmer from Shonnn-
doah , came to this city Monday evening
and proceeded to take in the town under
the pilotngo of Mend Wolcoff , ono of
Welch's express drivers. Ho claims
that between 11 and 12 o'clock Weicoff
was joined by two others on lower
Broadway , and three knocked him down
and robbed him of about $40 and a gold
ring that he wore. He BOOH found a
sympathetic "peeler" to whom ho
showed a bleeding face and the signs of
a Hcutllo in the street , and as a result
Mr. WeleolT beheld tnosunrise from be
hind the bars. The other two have not
been arrested. The case was placed in
the hands of Colonel Dailcy , and as
soon as the rush in the district court in
over WoicolT will bo tried for highway
robbery.

Judge Aylesworth had an increase of
business nt the police court yesterday
morning. Fred Green and William
Criss , two youthful Africans , were the
first victims. They were charged with
stealing paving blocks , and as they were
evidently indifferent to the rights of
ownership they were fined $10 and'costs ,
in default of which they were committed
to jail. John Arnds , an Avoca farmer ,
was taxed $7.60 for becoming too enthu
siastic. Herman Bullock was dis
charged , the judge remarking that he
could get even with him the next time ,
as ho would surely bo in again before
long. The eases of Mead Weicoff for
highway robbery and Arthur Bennett
for larceny were not ready and will
probably bo heard this morning.

Another use of the storage battery
may be mentioned. The Saratoga Gus

system ) have put in 410 cells of electric
accumulator buttery for lighting Huw-
thorno springs and stores. The are
dynamo is used in the day time to
charge the cells located where the
lamps are in use , and thus the capacity
of the plant is very largely increased.
This storage plant was also fitted up by
the Isolated Accumulator company , and
yet another specimen of their work maybe
bo seen in the lighting of the yacht

STARK MAD !
A Case that Baffles Med
ical Science.
"Yes , sirho is as mad as a March hare8aid ono gen
tleman to another , as they wore standing on Broad-
vwiy yesterday afternoon.
The object of this remark had just passed up the
street , and ever on the alert for news , the reporter
followed him. He was a middle aged man , well dress
ed , and apparently a gentleman of the well to do
class. In his hand he held a memorandum book , and
as he scanned the signs as he passed them he mutter
ed to himself , "Four Hundred and One ! Four Hun
dred and One ! Four Hundred and One. Yes , that's
the number wife said ; Four Hundred and One.Broad-
way.1 And as he came opposite to Harkness Bro's
store , the look of anxiety passed from his face and ho
broke into a laugh. As he passed through the door
he said to himself , "I may be stark mad crazy as a
loon , but I am not crazy enough to pay double prices
for inferior goods , when I can get the best of Hark
ness Bros. , for less money.
The reporter thought he was not a candidate for
the Insane Asylum.
