A great bargain for the first wli THE DEAL OF THE DEALERS , Two Sides of the Pool For Shipping Agricultural Implements. CONCERNING THE CHAUTAUQUA Services nt the diuretics The County PrlntliiK A Special Jury For the Coffinnn Case The Park Case. The Implement Shippers. It has been announced that the prom inent agricultural implement houses of this city have organized an association for the purpose of freezing out manu facturers who have simply agents lo cated hero , and who ship their goods from this point through the houses of transfer agents. These agents claim that they arc residents hero , many of them owning property hero , and paying taxes , and that by reason of such dis crimination against them as this associ ation seeks to enforce , they will bo com pelled do move away from here , locate their business olbowhoro , and that the city will thereby bo injured to that ex tent. They feel that if the businessmen generally understood the situation they would not endorse the action of this as sociation. It was suggested to them that they bring their cauitoof complaint to the attention of the board of trade , so that Homo formal action might be taken to relieve them , but the claim is made in reply that the very men who are foremost in this movement against them lire leading members of the board of trade , and that such a complaint would naturally not receive fair treat ment. They claim that it is hardly con- sistant for such men to bo shouting for Council BlulTs , and urging all to help build It up , while they are endeavoring to build up their own business by crowd ing out others and injuring the city at large. The chief complaint against this as- sociivtlon Is.in regard to the shipping of goods. It has been customory for a cus tomer to order goods of different makes , and from different parties here , and the one having the largest shipment , say a half carload , to allow the others to put their goods into the car , thus potting advantage of the carload rates. The as sociation , composed mainly of those hav ing warehouses and sidetracks , has fie lded that the one doing the loading of the cur shall charge the other members of the association , sending goods to go into the sumo car , 3 cunts u hundred. Thoho who are not members ol ho association are charged 10 cents a hundred. As these general agents hero , handling gooas through transfer houses , are not mem bers of this association , ' they have tc pay 10 cents a hundred for shipping their goods , while members to the asso ciation load for each other for 3 cents. This is claimed to bo a discrimination which will force these men to do busi ness elsewhere. The members of the ihsociation state the situation in quite ; i different light. They admit that there is an association , but deny that it it simply a Council Bluffs arrangement. If embraces jobbers in Omaha also , and the same regulations adoptedj here govern there. If these who complain locate in Omaha , they will got no bet tor rates there. If they go to Kanwit City they will find that they cannot load there in other dealers' cars ul any price , but will huvo to dc their own shipping as best they can. A ( Lincoln tharo are no facilities for get ting others to do their shipping , us thov desire hero. In fact , under this ar rangement , Council BlulTs affords these gentlemen as good opportunities us can bo secured anywhere , and bettor than most cities. As to the justice of the association in making this arrangement , the gentle men concerned assert that tho'y have acted for the best interests of their own business and to protect that. It can hardly bo expected of them that they should sacrifice their own interests for the sake of furnishing facilities for men to cut into their own trade. It can hardly bo asked of them that they should main tain warehouses , sidetracks and othei facilities for shipping , and then allow men In the same line of business tohave the advantage of these for nothing. Ai to the charge of 10 cents per 100 foi loading such goods as those agents bring to them , they say that this does not pay for the trouble , annoyance , ex- pence and frequent delays. Even ul this rate they feel that they are ucconv inodating those who now complain. The reason for making u different rate foi members of the association is that these members nro in position to return th < courtesies , while those who complalr are always asking to have goods loaded into other dealers' cars , but seldom , il over , load by the car themselves. One instance will miiKo it clearer , One house which has shipping.iacllltioi received an order for u car load o : goods , Including someseeders. . The agent for another kind of seeder inducoe the customer to cancel the order for tin seeders nnd order of him. One of the inducements offered the customer win that the agent's seeders could tx shipped in the same car as the othoi goods and would cost nothing ndditionu for freight , and at the sumo time tin agent cut the price , thus securing tin order , and causing the house which wa doing the shipping to lose this much o the original order. Then when thi goods wcro to bo shipped the agent son his seeders to the warehouse of thi firm and wanted the firm to load then into the car and send them to this cu tomor. Hardly any business housi would feel like shipping goods undo the circumstances , and the least tha could bo asked was the payment of II cents a 100 pounds to help meet the expenses ponses of shipping. Mr. W. W. Loomis , of David Bradlo ; & Co. , chanced to bo at the tcutuble thi other evening , and was drawn into con vernation on this subject by the recently contly appointed correspondent of tin Omaha Herald , who was formerly ii the agricultural Implement business and on the strength of this acquaint unco , and little dreaming that ho wa being intorvioved , Mr , Loomis tulkei freely. What was his surnrihO when hi found the next morning what purportei to be a full report of this private , soeiu conversation. Had the convorsatloi been correctly given It would huvi been a bad breach of social confidence but Mr. Loomis found the btiiteinents s < garbled and twisted , in the evident in terests of the parties complaining ubou the association , that ho protests stoutl ; about being thus represented before tin public. Mr. Wles is ouoted us saying at an ns Eociution meeting , "wo huvo got tin manufacturers , now let's fix them.1 Ho denounces this fully as stoutly u being false In every respect. No ono in this section of country is n much interested in the prosperity o manufacturers of and dealers in implements monts generally us the companies wh compose the Council Bluffs & Omuh Implement Dealers' association. Th following lift should convince any fair minded person that it would bo suicldn for thorn to persuo any policy that woul injure 'the trade in implements i Council Bluffs or Omaha : David Brad ley & Co. , Council Bluffs ; Dooro. Wells tf Co. , Council BlulTsi Wolr Shugart Co. , Council BlulTs ; Purlin Orondorff & C'o. , Omaha ; Molina Milhurn Stoddard C'o. , Omaha ; Churchill Parker , Omaha : Winoim Implement Co. , Omaha. It has been stated that the implement dealers association intends to shut out of this trade the general agents of manufacturers. The articles of the as sociation , however , * clearly stnto that they can become members and enjoy all the benefits nnd shipping privileges that are afforded any member under these articles. The smallest shipper , handling but ono article , can have the same courtesies from the largest house as would be extended by that house to its heaviest competitor.

The movement for securing n Chau tauqua assembly here is being quietly but earnestly pushed forward , and with .excellent prospects for making it n grand success. The plan Is for so broad and firm a foundation as shall ensure it us the Chautauqua of the west. The location is wonderfully well adapted. The many railways centering hero ex tend in all directions through intelli gent and progressive communities. In almost every town in the country there is now to be found a Chautauqua circle , and these circles need and are wishing for some central point for the establish ing of an assembly where they can come together during the summer months ol each yearfor ] study and recreation. A stock company has boon organized with the view of locating s\ich grounds in the vicinity of Council BlulTt and Omaha. Already there has been about $20,000 secured hero , and Is be lieved that the balance- the stock will bo taken just as soon as the plan it fully understood , and the advantages offered fully reali/ed. % There are similar assemblies at Crete , Neb. , Ottawa , Kan. , and other points , and they have met with wonderful suc cess. They draw to these points thous ands of people every season. It would bo a great thing for thcso two cities if , by the establishing of such an assembly , a like number could bo drawn to this railway center , which could bo done much more easily than at either of those points , or at any other in the west , These having the movement hero in charge are looking beyond oven this , however. It is not their purpose to establish merely a local ahsonv bly , which will draw a few thousand people from a comparativclj small surrounding district. The pur pose is not to get up a rival local as sembly , but in fact establish litorall.\ the chautauqua' the west , a nationa' center , fostering and accommodating the local assemblies. These local as sotnblies will continue to feorvo theii purpose and continue to prosper , but the west needs jusl what the cast has al Chautauqua , N. Y. There are nianj who cannot go to Chautauqua , N. Y. I like accommodations can bo furnishei hero , and money enough put in to secure - cure in like manner men of nationa reputation for instructors , entertain1 nients , etc. , during the season , then cannot but bo drawn hero as lnrg < crowds as yearly gather at Chautauqua N. Y. There is bound to be a large chautauqua at some point in this part o the country , and probably another 01 the Pacific coast , and in time anothei somewhere in the bouth. Counci Bluffs and Omaha might as well sec'ure this as to have some other city wrest i' away , as they surely will if our people arc not up and doing. In looking about for a location foi such an assembly , to bo started on such a broad foundation as to make it equal to the eastern ono , it has been decided by those not locally interested , that this vicinity presents the best possible ad vantages , largely on account of the many railways coming in from all directions , the natural scenery , the advantages of two largo cities , healthv climate , good water , besidcsmanyothet advantages apparent to any ono looking over the situation. Dr. J. L. Hurlburt principal of the Chautauqua Assembly , New York , who has been instrumental in establishing local assemblies through out the country , has made pcn-bonul ex amination of this locality , and ho pro nounccs it the finest point west for sucl : a purpose. The grounds selected , near this city are nearer to Omaha than any suitable grounds which can be obtained on the other side of the river , oven if it coult bo obtained as cheaply. The high price of property near Omaha and the fad that even at such prices as are asked ne such beautiful grounds as these selectee could bo had , make it advisable to locate hero. With the new lines of communi eation being ooencel it will bo as casj for those living on the other sldo of the river to como and go as though th < grounds were west of Omaha. There will be a through line of railway 01 street cars , so the grounds will bo easily accessible for both cities , and those at tending the assembly can visit eithei city at will. It will take $100,000 to carry out the plans as outlined. A more local as Bombly could bo obtained and main tained for much less , but these having the matter In hand say they will no start the enterprise at all unless so aste make it not merely for Council Bluffi and Omaha , not merely for Iowa um Nebraska , but present such attraction ! as shall draw from as wide tin extent o country as to make the tibsoinbly nn tional in its character. The encouragement already roceivee gives assurance that this enterprise wil soon bo placed on such a foundation ate to make this possible. The enterprise is no experiment. The experience a Clmutauqua , N. Y. and at every loca assembly ground has demonstrated tha tinancially , socially and morally such ai enterprise cannot but succeed. A Clmutauqua , N. Y. the surplus last yea above expenses reached nearly $40,000 Tnat enables the association to provid a rich programme for the followini your , ana add to the accommodations What has boon done east can surely b done west , especially when In this loca tion there are HO many moro advantage than are presented at Chautauqua , N. \ If you want to buy a lot to build house on , or buy a homo cheap on cas payments , see Tipton , "the real estat broker.

Ofllcer Nicholson and Deputy Mar shal Barhyto yesterday experienced a little dillleulty in serving n writ of at tachment on Chris Acton. The latter was formerly a resident of this city , but now resides in Omaha. He is engaged in hauling corn across the river , and drove up to the city scales to wait for a load. The deputy marshal had the writ in his possession , and -Nifcholson went out of the police station -and asked the man if his name waj j A ton. Being answered in the afllrmativo , the officer retraced his steps and Informed the deputy. Acton evidently "smelt a mouse , " for ho speedily began to un hitch his team and was ready to drive nwny when the oflicers came out and tried to read the writ. cAc on whipped up his horses and tried to drive over thorn , but Deputy Barhvtejumpcd into the wagon and applied his patent throat constrictor , and soon peace was de clared. Acton cried and claimed the team belonged to his wife ' , but ho had to go homo without it. 'Tno writ is in favor of A. D. Boardslbyvthb druggist , and covers a debt incurred by Acton tome time ago. The team was run across the river , and yesterday was the ' first time that the ofllcor had 'an oppor tunity to capture the game , and ho was determined not to let the chance slip.

" SHAU UTAH BE ADMITTED ? The Subject Discussed. Before the Senate Territorial Committee. A VERY SPIRITED DEBATE- _ * Delegate Cnlnc InRlntM Tlmt the Appli cation U Mmlo lit ttootl Faith Views of n ( Jcntllo Itcpreacntntlvo. The Polygamy Problem. WASIIIXUTOX , Feb. 18. The scimtc com mittee on territories pare a hcnring to-day upon the admission of Utah as u stnte , to ex- Senntor McDonald , who discussed the lepil features of the cnso and argued Unit the power of congress to compel submission to any reflation with regard to the marriage relation was not Impaired by the admission of Utah ns u state. Ho claimed congress had no right to keep n territory out of the union of states after Its people had fulfilled the conditions and compiled with the require ment prescribed for admission. The committee took u recess at 2 o'clock , after which Delegate Caluo anil .Tuilgo Jcrc- mtiih Wilson addressed the committee on the subject. , Dclgato Cnluc salil the i > cople of Utah hnd on four separate occasions naked admission. One obstacle was polygamy. There was but oni3 point in the constitution adopted about Which there could bo any question and that was whether thu twelfth section embodied the honest views of thu KIU'.I5 men who voted to ratify It. This section makes polygamy und bigamy misdemeanors , punishable by line and imprisonment. He declared upon his honor , as n God-fearing man , that the people of Utah did deliberately and unreservedly adopt that section in good fuith us thu law of the land and intended to enforce it In the new state. Mr. Culnu defended his coreligionists gionists of Utah against the charges brought by various writers. These who oppose statehood for Utah , ho continued , cans nothing for the religion or morals of the Mormons. It Is their politics which they oppose. If you satisfy them you must disfranchise every Mormon on account of his religious belief. Judge Jeremiah Wilson also addressed the committee. Ho eulogized the people of Utah. The Mormons hnd never broken a promise nor betrayed u trust and therefore their sin cerity in this matter ought not to bo ques tioned. Delegate Dubuls , of Idulio , addressed the committee In opposition to the petitions for admission. He admitted the imputation of Utah to bo sufficient so far ns numbers go to entitle the territory to statehood , but do- elured tlmt this imputation was mainly , im- IKirted directly from Europe by the Mormon church. Even with nil Inefficient ixilicc force the number of arrests was enormously dis proportionate to the population and thu vast majority of persons arrested were convicted. Utah hud been blessed with a superior climate nnd soil. She lay on a direct line between tho' cast and California. United with such advantages her taxable wealth only nggrepatcd I5UOO,0 ( ) < ) , $5KX.0X ( ) ( ) of which was railroad property not owned in Utah , nnd JIO.OOO.OOO of which belonged to the 80,1)00 ) gentile inhabitants of that terri tory. Her taxable wealth averaged only ? 157 per capita , while in neighboring territories it ranged from f300 to 5TIX ) . Ho asked to be informed by any advocate of admission what practice of IJrigharn Young or Joseph Taylor was now admitted to have been wrong ; and argued that the course of the Mormons in the future could bo best judged by their past. Crime was now ripe in Utah and the criminals liad the sympathy of the entire Mormon pco- | ilc. If any reform was promised , my abstention from the practices pronounced jy law to be criminal , the man who promised it was ostracised. The legislature refused to mnko provisions for the arrest and punish ment of criminals and the United States gov ernment was compelled to bear the burden of the local government of the territory. The new constitution was half u trick , half a lie. nnd these who presented it did not come as free men to frco men , but , with cring ing nnd cowardice , proposed to bind themselves for 4ho future in n way which was required of no other state. The territory could not como in under this constitution as mi equal and the provision against the amendment of her constitution was therefore cither entirely negatory or en tirely wrong. The gentiles did not believe two years of statehood would clapso before the constitution would bo changed to meet the views of the church. The commute adjourned for the day. National Capital Notes.

CAN'T CORXRIl ITS PATENTS. An Important DcclHlon Rendered on the Rights of Cable Hallways. KANSAS CITV , Mo. . , Feb. 18. [ S | > cclal Tclo- gram to the BEE/ ] The Kansas City Cable railway company scored to-day the first i > olnt in the contest regarding cable patents in which it is now engaged with the Metropoli tan Cable railway people. Judge Gill , in tbo circuit court , rendered a decision agreeing to fix the compensation for the use of the patent. On January 0 the common council amended the Highland avenue fran chise it has granted to the Metropolitan people - plo in such a manner ns to allow all the other cable companies thereafter to bo constructed in Kansas City the right to the use of all the patents controlled by the Metropolitan com pany on payment of reasonable compensation and if no compensation could bo agreed uKn ) it should bo fixed by the Judge of one of the criminal courts of Jackson county. After the Kansas City Cable company hnd no- ecpted the franchise of the Washington street extension to Mts system the Metropolitan company notified the city that it would not accept the Highland avenue franchise nnd forfeited its deposit of $10,000 in order to prevent - vent the Kansas City Cable company from using its patents. The latter corporation contended that the more non-acceptance of the franchise did not constitute a forfeiture nnd nfter attempting to arrive at an agree ment with the Metropolitan company peti tioned Judge Gill to fix the compensation as provided in section 27 of the ordinance. In concluding his decision Judge Gill says : "I shall , therefore , hear evidence as to the value of these patents and fix the compensation. After the hearing of the evidence and the fixIng - Ing of the compensation and the refusal of the Metroiwlttan company to receive the same it is then optional with the city whether it Institute proceedings for the forfeiture of the contract. " The decision is a highly Im portant one. both as regards the cable patents and the authority of a city council. Shot the Sheriff of Oakland. Si'iuxariELi ) , Mo. , Fob. 18.
