NEWS FROM COUNCIL BLUFFS ,

posed High School Change.
PETITION OUT AGAINST THE PLAN.
Home ItcnsotiH for the Proposed Ho-
moral nnd Some Tliat Are
UrjclK' li > Ht It by
the 1'arcnts.
The action of the school board In changing
the hlt'h school from the Washington avenue
to the Hill building has awakened a small
tempest of discontent among the parents of
the children who will bo affected by the
change. The storm has been brewing In n
quiet manner ever since the matter was first
made nubile , and It now 1ms taken dollnlto
form In n petition which Is being circulated
among the dtt/ons by some of the mothers of
the children. The petition roads ns follows :
We , tin ) unileisluiiuil. bolni ; Informed that
vour huimrali e body In prcparlm : to make
( . hiiuuu * byrlileh HID hUli MMIOO ! deimrtment
will t'U tninsfeneil from what Is commonly
Uiinwii as the Washlnplon avenue Inilldlntt to
tbo hlch si'hool building , would reipeetfutly
sluto that uo liellovo such change would bo
detrimental to the best Interests of the
schools , 119 It would not only inconvenience
iiiiiny but would prove so lirmmloin to the
health and strength of pupils thai many
parents would feul compelled to with
draw their children entirely , and
-solid them cNcuhuro for tlielr edu
cation. Tor these mill other toasons ,
dueiiicd by us coed and sulllelent , we rr peet-
fnlly but earnestly urge vour honorable body
not to make the proposed uhan 'o of location
In the high school department.
The change wns resolved upon by the board
from a number of considerations. According
to the statement made by a member of the
board yesterday pno of the main objections
to having the high .school In the same build-
Itrg with the lownr grades Is the fact that the
larger boys think they are smarter and bet
ter in every wa.\ , and thov take advantage of
their size to inaico the little fellows wish they
had never been born. In botno cases their
tyranny has gone so far as to make the
smaller boys afraid to go out on the jroumK
The teachers haui been unable to prevent
this state of affairs by any system of disci
pline , nnd the result Is the members of the
board have come to ttio conclusion that the
only thing which will put an end to tlio
trouble Is the separation of the two growths
of children.
In defense of the action of the board it is
stated that some of the young girls whoso
mothers are afraid they will bo Injured by
having to climb the hill once a day , have
been known to climb it twenty or thirty
times u day and drug a sled after them in
coasting times. Ho that as it may , however ,
the petition is being circulated , and those
who have charge of the matter state that
they will use every inlluonco to have the
board rescind its resolution. The petition
will bo presented to the board at its next
meeting , which takes place next Monday
evening. _

Attitude of lljo Vest-
crn Jtonita.
CIMCAOO , July 1. Juit why a majority of
the western rends should Join with the east
ern line * In the hue nnd cry against ttio Chi-
CDRO ft Alton Is n question that cnnnot easily
bo answered except on thu theory thnt Jeal
ousy scoics the overthrow of a successful
rival. Many lines In the Western Passenger
association have undoubtedly sought to glvo
the Impression that they are In sympathy
ivlth the Alton witllo secretly lending aid to
compass Its defeat. No other explanation
can bo given of the remarkable decisions
given by Chairman Finicy , which socm to
huvo no other object than to worst the Alton.
The blows aimed at the Alton follow
0110 another in rapld succession.
The latest came from Clinlrnnm Flnloy
today In the form of a circular letter to the
members rcappc rtlonlup the expense of the
association for Juno. The circular stated
that In view of the chairman's decision refus
ing the Alton ttio boncllts of the agreement
that company could not bo assessed for Us
full proportion and would only be asked to
pny its share of the expenses for one-half the
month of Juno. General P.isscngor Agent
Charlton sent Uncle a renlv that was calcu
lated to make Mr. Flnley wince. Ho
said the Alton was cither in the as
sociation or not and ho demanded an
Immediate statement as to the standing
of that road. If considered a member of the
association ho declared the road would not
nay one penny for the expenses of .funs , but
If still a member , the chairman had no au
thority to remit ono penny of Its proportion
of expenses. The letter scored Mr. Finloy
unmercifully for golne outsldo of his pro
vince as chairman of the Western Passenger
association in order to harass the Alton and
govo him to understand that the Alton was
amply able to urotect Its own Interests
whether inside or outsldo the association.
All It asked was a clear understanding of its
returns with the Western Passenger associa
tion as defined by Chairman Finloy in order
that It might regulate its actions as a mem
ber of or non-mc nbor of the association.
As yet the Alton consider itself a memnor
in good standing and the minute that n rul
ing to tbo contrary Is given its competitors
will find that their only safe course is to
"stand from under. "
The theory has boon advanced that Fin
loy is dominated by the board of commis
sioners of the Western Tralllo association ,
but nobody acquainted with the character
nnd temper of the Alton management will believe -
liovo for a minute that It can bo forced into
the present agreement by any such tactics as
have been adopted in thin case.

FIIUMONT , Nob. , July 1. iSpecinl Tele
gram toJTiiE BUK.I Tuo church trial for the
purpose of settling a controversy between
Hov. G. N. Chamberlain of Pennsylvania , ns
plaintiff , and W. H. and A. L. Atwood ,
brothers , of this city , was begun tonight in
the Methodist church. The parties Involved
are Methodist brcthcrn , with the exception
of W. H. Atwood , who Is n Presb3'tcrian , but
who agreed to abide by the linding of the
arbitrators. Rev. J. W. Uobinson , pastor of
the local curch , sits as Judge , and W. E.
Smalls , F. M. Smith , G. G. Martin , J. M.
Shlvely of this city , and George Davis
of Grand Island are the Jury. Cham
berlain has for his counsel Hov. J.
W. Shank nnd Attorney Wagner of Omaha.
For the plaintiffs Judge Fawcctt and IJr.
Maxtlcld of Omaha appear. Although both
sides are willing to have a public hearing ,
Hev. Hobinson decided thnt It should bo
strictly private , everybody being excluded
except those directly involved. T-ho investi
gation is progressing behind closed doors.
The case was begun nt S o'clock by the readIng -
Ing of the agreements to the arbitration ,
which was followed by the reading by Hov.
Shank of n carefully prepared statement of
Chamberlain's case. Dunne the progress of
the inquiry some stormy scenes look place
between the brethren , and the point ns
to whether aftlduvits from B. F. Allen
of Salt Lake , the party from whom the real
estate was bought and out of which deal iho
dinir.ulty has grown , should bo admitted on
evidence npainst the defendants , wns
strongly opposed by tnoin slnco Allen was
not present to bo cross-Oxnmlncd. At n Into
hour tonight the trial is still In progress.
When It will be ended Is not known , but It
Is thought tbo Undine will bo arrived at 'and
made public In n dnv or two. Chamberlain
is a Methodist minister who has preached
the word in Pennsylvania for twenty-live
years. Two years ago he spent the summer
In Fremont and lilled the pulpit of the
church here during the absence of the pas
tor. At that time A. L. Atwood was super
intendent of the Sabbath school , and the
visiting dominie was soon nftor interested by
the Atwoods in n real estate speculation at
Salt Lako. Slnco that time there huvo been
a score or more of deals between them , the
last one belnif tbo sale of an interest in an
option on a Seattle coal mine , for which
Chamberlain paid the Atwoods flS.OOO.
Chamberlain and his friends claim that ho
has been confldcnced out of from &ir > ,000
to f3'J,000. It is certain that the preacher
Is financially ruined by the deals ,
but whether through the Atwoods or real
estate declines aud Injudicious Investments
remains to bo seen. Ho has loft only his
residence property In Pennsylvania , having
lost n $ < l,800 iloco of property nt Covlngton ,
Pcnn. , a brother's farm , his own
and wife's and daughter's inherited money ,
in all about $20,000 In cash. For tills ho has
an abundance ot experience , a few town lots
In Salt Lake nnd n part interest in which Is
claimed by Iho defendants as an option on
the coal lands. The Atwoods claim they
have not defrauded him nnd sny they will
show that as thg valuable option bus not ex
pired nnd the real estate has not all been dis
posed of Hov. Chamborlin does not yet know
thut ho Is n losor. The case bus created n
big bcnsatlon hero and the end Is not yet.
