Yesterday mon.lntr all signs of disorder
about the Northwestern passenger depot had
vanished , and things wore running , if possi
ble , more smoothly Iban on Ihe day before.
All Iho vacancies that were made by the
summary discharge of Iho dozen swltcnmen
on Thursday morning had been filled. The
trainmen had been performing the switch
men's duties in accordance with an acroo-
incut that had been entered Into by thorn and
the company when the fractious hands were
dlsi'har ed. The men who were appointed
to fill the vacancies were without an excep
tion experienced railroad men , most
of them having been connected
with the Northwestern In some ca
pacity or other. Among them wcro several
who had ocen engaged In the prospective
strike. The fact Is iwlntcd to by the ofllelals
of the road to show that the move was made
out of n desire to reorganize the department
rather than to make war on any set of men.
In every case tlio applications of the men
who wanted to bo put in to fill the vacancies
were considered simply with respect to the
qualifications for the position , and the ques
tion of their previous record was not taken
into consideration at all , that Is , if the state
ments of the onictals can be trusted 1m
Illicitly.
Fred US trip was appointed to the posi
tion of ynrdmaster. Ho was formerly con
nected with the Northwestern at this point ,
but was removed in order to make seem fora
conductor who had lost an arm in the service.
He was sent to Boone , but after a short
service he was discharged upon the demand
of the switchmen's union , U'cstrlp beini ; a
non-union man. The fact of his appointment
is considered a fair indication of the policy
that may bo expected to bo taken by the
company In the future.
General Agent M. J. Alworth said yester
day : "In the past the switchmen have had
everything their own way. Every demand
that they have made has been conceded , but
wo have culled a halt. The men who have
been appointed understand ttiat they are ex
pected to obey , and not to command , and I
don't think wo will have any trouble with
them. There was no agreement made be
tween them and the comp my , but It Is un
derstood pretty perfectly , 1 think , Just how
matters stand. "
The move Is universally conceded by rail
road men to have been ono of the boldest
that has ever been made bj-any railway com
pany toward Us employes. When the switch
men wore discharged , the officials at this
point had not the slightest idea whom they
would put in to till the vacancies. Had it
not been for the fact that the war was onn
between the switchmen on the ono slue and
the company and tno trainmen on the other ,
the company must have been badly crippled
and the public subjected to considerable an
noyance. But the trainmen wont in and
worked with a will , and the result was that
the work was done without a hitch.

Sheriff W. C. Delashmutt of Mills county
was In the Bluffs yesterday , searching for
three men who relieved a Mills county
fanner of f l/iOO last Wednesday. Tha victim
was Aaron Lewis , who lives about five miles
south of Silver City. Lewis received a visit
from a young man last Tuesday. The young
man stayed over night at the farmer's
house , and while there learned that the
farmer had some wealth. On Wednesday two
other men called and they Induced the
farmer to go to Hlllsdalo pn some pretext ,
where ho drew $ ! i"iOU from the bank. A game
of cards followed and $1,500 was secured ,
when they loft. Officers wore notified and a
hot chase followed , but they escaped. One
of the men was In this city Wednesday even
ing , and is known , but thp other two are
strangers. Sheriff Delashmutt is confident
that he will be able to capture tbo confidence
men.

George A. Haynes ot Kallda , Colo. , was in
the Bluffs yesterday. Ho was formerly
county recorder of Pottawattamlo county ,
and one of the first things ho did on arriving
In the city was to hunt up the office and see
how much it bad changed since ho did duty
there in 1807 , In looking over the books ho
found a record that be had made on January
I , 1NJ7 , the day when the first railroad train
entered Council Bluffs. It was over tbo North
western railroad , aud ho winched the great
event take place from tbo window of the
courthouse , which wiu at that time on
cr Broadway. Ho had a fine view of tbo
train as It stood upon the tracks at the local
depot , the lower Dart of the city being nil a
vast wilderness of nothing. Ho was greatly
interested in noting the various changes that
had taken place since his removal.

A decision has been rendered by Attorney
General John Y. Stone which will prove of
interest to all who are In any way interested
in the enforcement of the prohibitory liquor
law , and especially so to these who are taking
an active part In the closing of the saloons.
The decision was in reply to a list of ques
tions which were sent to him by S. P. Van
Dyke , county auditor of Beaten county.
Ono.polnt which was raised was whether
an attorney who had succeeded in getting a
defendant convicted of the offence of main
taining a nuisance , and In having the cus
tomary attorney lees taxed uo to the con
victed party , could hold the county responsi
ble for the tee * In case the salaonkceper had
no money and had to pay his fine by board
ing It out In the county Jail. In answer to
this question , the attorney general said that
the attorney fees were not mentioned among
the other fees In such cases which by law
are to bo taxed up aaalnst the county , ana
that it was his opinion that if it had been
the Intention of the legislators to allow the
attorney fees to be taxed up In that way it
would have been so stitcd In the law.
A second point was whether a county at
torney was entitled to his usual pei cent of
the fees in cases which ho had not helped to
prosecute. The attorney general decided that
no was. .
The third point was , when n fine is im
posed but not paid until after January 1 ,
when the county attorney who prcsscuted
the case has retired from oRlco and his suc
cessor has taken his place , which attorney is
entitled to the fees , the one who prosecuted
the case or the ono who is in office at the
time the tine is paid ) The decision of the at
torney general was that the county attorney
who held ofllco at the tlmo 'the line was Im
posed was the one who was entitled to the
foes.
foes.Tho
The last two questions are not of so much
Importance , save to county attorneys
throughout the state , or to the members of
the county boards who have to allow the fees
to the county attorneys , but the first is of
moro eciicral Interest. It is thought that the
decision of the attorney general in regard to
that point , while It does not carry "with it the
force of the absolute law , will yet have a
great deal to do with keeping lawyers and
others from going into the saloon closing
business for the solo purpose of making what
fees they can out of the saloonkeepers. It has
heretofore been thought that the attorney
fees can bo tixed up to the county in case
they cannot be collected from the convicted
parties , hut the fuct that the fees must bo
paid by the convict or by no one will un
doubtedly b& adopted as the rule of action by
the county boards throughout the state , and
will consequently put a stop to a largo per
centage of the Injunction business that is In
dulged in In the cities.

The Hotel Grand changed hands yeiterday
at noon , the firm ol Cragin & Co. stepping
out and the firm of Kimbali & Champ step
ping In. The change created but little sur
prise , aa it has been an open secret for
several days post that such a chanue would
bo made soon. Ever since last Sunday
rumors of various sorts have been Heating
around the city , anil have been discussed
freely on tbo street corners. These rumors
were not at all complimentary to the man
agers of the hotel , but as they were unsub
stantiated by proof it was deciJcd that the
best thing for the hotel , the citv , and all
other parties concerned , was that nothing
should bo done by the owners of
the building which would add to
the publicity of the matter , but
that the managers should step quietly down
and out.
Ever since the hotel was opened it has
more than paid expenses. That this was seas
\\as a surprise to the owners , as it was sup
posed that it would bo necessary to run it at
u loss until Its reputation should becnmo es
tablished. But Instead of that the books
have shown an amount ot business that sur
passed all expectations and compared very
favorably with the Omaha hostelries.
Messrs. ICimball & Chump managed affairs
from noon until last evening , when the an
nouncement was made that the management
of the hotel had been offered to Mr. George
T. Phclps , and had been acceptoJ by htm.
Mr. Phelps was formerly connected with the

DCS MOINT. ? , In. , May 15. Judge Shlrris of
the federal court rendered nu Important de
cision under the interstate commerce law
today. The plaintiffs wcro grain shippers of
Carroll , la. , and the defendant the Chicago &
Northwestern railroad. The plaintiffs
claimed they were charged 1'J cents per 100
pounds of grain shipments to Chicago , whllo
shippers at Blair , Nob. , had an 11 cent rate
for the same distance. The Judge ruled that
the rate was In violation of the Interstate
law , and that the plaintiffs have the right to
recover. A largo number of similar eases
nro still pending , and the same decision will
no doubt ho given. *
Tlie IJoyootl a K
CIUCAOO , May IS , It is reiwrtcd that the
competitors of the Chicago & Alton have
prepared a petition to the board of rulings of
the Trunk Line and Central Traflle associa
tion requesting to elthor make the boycott
against the Alton effective * or to abandon It
altogether. The reason given for the request
Is that the boycott Is doing the Alton no
harm whllo It Is really Injuring the
business of the other western roads.
A former railroad man who Is now engaged
in other business arrived here today from the
east. While in New York , to satisfy his own
curiosity , ho took occasion to look Into the
boycott. Ho says ho discovered that these
trjnk lines that are most active in the boy
cott are themselves paying a commission of
? I5 on every immigrant ticket sold to Pacific
coast , and that some of the lines nro paying
as hiuh as $1 commission on tickets solil
from New York to Chicago. General Passen
ger Agent Charleton has written a letter to
Chairman Finloy of the Western Passenger
association asserting that no less than seven
eastern roads are paying commissions sold
over their lines from Now York aud Chi
cago.
The question of summer tourist rates on
which the western lines could not agree at
the recent meeting of the Western Passenger
association is in a fair way to bo amicably
settled. At a meeting ot the mutineers today
it was agreed by all persons to llx tourist
rates on the basis of the per cent of tno
regular rates netween points uf the territory
of the association.
Eastern roads arc growing uneasy in con
sequence of the division. , of the east-bound
grain trafllc to the lake line ? , which are talt-
ing It at lower rates than have been known
before for years. Chairman Hlanchard is
taking a vote nf road ? by letter as to the oil-
visibility of a reduction pu all roads. It is
believed that some of the roads will oppose a
rpduetion in seaboard rates for the
reason that they cannot afford to
make them low enough to comnoto
with the lake lines anil the effect will bo to
pull down the local rail's , upon which they
must largely depend for thyjr revenue.
The Western Passenger association has
nuthoiizcd a rate of one faro for the round
irip to persons aesirmg 10 uuenu mo inrin-
ers' alliance convention at Cincinnati on the
l th inst. The tickets will bo on sale the
17th and ISth. This complutes the special ur-
rangenionts for the alliance convention from
all uoints. ,
