NEWS FROM COUNCIL BLUFFS , Pair of Desperate Illgbwayrnon ( taught tind Lodged in Jail , THEIR LAST WORK WAS ON BROADWAY. They Assaulted ami Ilolilicil ! . W. Sawyer Not l-'ar Ironi the Clty'i Heart llocoril of tlio I'alr. .lames Quirk , alias James Osborno , was arrested yesterday morning at an early hour by Olllcers Burke and Peters charged with being Implicated in the highway robbery that took place Tuesday nleht , and was men tioned in yesterday's ' Br.r. The ofllccrs saw a man on Lower Broad way that answered the dosuripllon of the guilty party and they at once went for him. Quirk got wind of their approach and started to run. The ofllcors followed , and an exciting - citing chase ensued through back yards and over fences , until linaily the man disappeared In a Held of sunflowers. Before disappearing he managed to throw away his revolver , but it was picked up and taken In charge by ono of the policemen. The fugitive was at last found hiding In the weeds , and was taken to the police station , where ho was booked with hlghwav robbery and carrying concealed weapons. None of the stolen property was found In his possession. 0. W. Sawyer , the man who was hold up , appeared at the ofllco of tno city clerk yes terday morning and Hied an Information against Quirk and his pal , ( Jrant , who was arrested Tuesday ulcht , charging them With highway robbery. Ho said that ho was riding "down Broadway when the robbery occurred. The lirst suspicion he bad was when ho was in the vicinity of the North western depot , whoa ho heard the sound of some one clambering into the ivarond of his wagon. Ho looked arout.d and a largo hole confronted his gaze , the other end of it being connected with a revolver In the hands of ono of two men that were in the wagon. The hole looked to him as big as an ordinary dishpan - pan , and It did not take him many mlnuUM to ask what they wanlou and to give it to them. Thev went through his pockets and took a watch and chain , which ho valued at about $ Jb , a knife , and several small articles. As soon as the robbers had gone , ho hunted for a police man to toll his tale of woo to , and the result was the capture of ( irant , whoso real name Is Kane , Insldo of half au hour after ttio deed was committed. Kanois-onoof the smoothest rascals in this section of the country. Ho was4n the cm- play of ono of the largest implement .houses in the city about seven years ago. Ho spent a year and a half in the penitentiary at Fort Madison for playing a conlidenco game of some kind at Missouri Valley , and he had no sooner done his time than ho was real-rested for highway robbcrv and spout another four years In the penitentiary. Ho now bids fail- to go over the road again. Quirk Is no bettor , ho also having Been in the pentltentlary. There Is another member of the gang who is now In the city jail on a charge of vagrancy , that being the only charge which the authorities so far can prove against him. His name Is Frame Bommauto , alias Frank Murray , who was caught several years airo while burglari/iag the residence of 10. B. Bowman on Second avenue. Ho was tried in the district court and sout to tlio penitentiary for four yeats , which sentence he has just completed. Hois very reticent. All 'ho efforts of tbo officials to pump him as to the affairs of himself and his two partners have been so far fruitless. Ho is in for a term of seven days , and it is hoped that by the end of that time somctuing moro serious may bo proved acainst bim. All three of the men are desperadoes of the worst class , their accomplishments being equally striking when it comes to holding up pedestrians , picking pockets or breaking into houses. They have been la Council Bluffs about ten days , and In that time they have been Implicated in something less than a dozen crimes that are known of , ' Including the confidence games that bavo been worked so repeatedly and so safely at the transfer. They wore taken to the countv Jail and will bo iflven a hearing this morning in police court. _ The C.

Attorney General Stone rendered nn Im portant decision yesterday with relation to the cancellation of policies of Urn Insurance at the request of the holders. The * opinion was In reply to a question propounded by J. A. Lyons , auditor of state. The original statute by which the mutual lire insurance companies were to bo governed , provided that any note deposited with the conip.iuy might be relinquished or cancelled on the payment by the giver of his share of the losses and expenses of the company during thu term. The auditor was authorized to refuse to permit any mutual "lire Insurance company to do business In Iowa unless It should provide In Its policies for a cancella tion of the policy at thu request of the Insured , on equitable terms. A law passed In 180 , however , has changed the system by providing that the Insurance company may Issue written notice to thu In sured when his premium fulls due , stating at the same time tno amount required to pay what Is known as the customary "short rates , " Including the expense of taking the risk up to the time the policy will bu sus pended under tlio terms of thu notice. Thu "short rates" consist In a proportion of the piemiuiu which docrra > oj In a considerably less ratio than the time , so that the insured has to pay more than half as much fur an In surance of one year as for two. This , accord- lug to the opinion of thu attorney general , U Inconsistent with thu provisions of thu statute llrst referred to , ami must be con sidered the law of the land. That particular feature of Insurance law Is considerably to tbo lluunctul detriment of thu Insured Drs.

Another to * lect the place prevailed , and thuOaKland peoplecamo forward with hearty assurances that the old soldiers would bo well cared for there , and their Invitation was accepted. The town council was In session , and when the Information mation was conveyed to them that Oakland had been selected , Mayor Hart welt appeared and assured tno delegates that the people would do everything In their power to muKO the reunion a happy ono. The following named gentlemen wore then selected as a general committee of arrange ments : L. L. Balr , William Lyinan , J. M. Williams and J. B. Hanod of the William Layton post of Oakland , S.

When Attorney Asitwlth some days ago ventilated his private opinion of Judge Mc- Cice , he made a mistake. He thought court wasn't In session. It was , though , and the Judge brought thu impetuous attorney up with'a round turn. Explanations that the remarks wore to have only a seml-olliclal effect wore of no avail , and the court insisted that his outraged dlgultv could only bo re paired through the visitation of coadign punishment on the deroliet lawyer. So Ask- wlth was solemnly hauled before the bar of the supreme court and adjudged to bo In con tempt of Its dignity and personal function , and was condemned among other things to pass twenty-four eonseculivo hours in close confinement in Pottawattamio county jail. Hlght here is where the rub comes in. It has now transpired that Sheriff Jimmy O'Neill , In view of the wining campaign and with moro bowels of compassion than the an gered court realizing the effect of consign ing on one so delicately nurtured as Attorney Askwlth to tlio awful penalty of a day and night In the loathsome dungeon beneath the castle moat , where green sllmo oo/uil from the walls , and horrid creeping things dragged their clammy lengths across the lloor ; where the darkness was never broken , and the fetid air was still , save when disturbed by the clank of manacles moved by fettered limbs , or torn by the maniacal shriek of some un- fortunuto whom confinement had reft of reason shrank from Imposing such dire pun ishment , and instead simply turned the pris oner over to thu wife of Attorney Askwith vlth Instructions that she keep one eye on him for twcrty-four hours. In the meantime the dicnity of thosuporior court gaed at itself with complacent satis faction , knowing that in Askwith would bo found a wrning to all hotheads to control their tongues , A delegation of friends of the incarcerated attorney visited the jail and pro fessed to condole and cheer the suffering prisoner. Ono enterprising reporter even interviewed Colonel Askwith , asking him his idea of interior decorations as applied to rotary jails and describing minutely the sur roundings and appearance of the attorney behind the bars. But all this Is dispelled. It now remains to bo seen if thn dignity of the court will bo satisfied with do jure imprisonment , or whether lu will rise and demand the do facto article.

The Minneapolis Tribune Is trying to bol ster up the chances of that city for the next national republican convention. It Is trying hard. In dolr.g so It falls to stick to the truth.

In spite of the desperate attempt to pad the census Minne apolis cou d muster only 1H,73S ( people. The census of IS'JO ' , which Is a barefaced fraud so fur as Council Bluffs Is concored , gave this city ' 'MT-I , and Omaha 140,45.3 , or 1(11,0 ( 3 In all , Nntwlthstandlnc the emphatic protest of the people of this city , at the Injustice of the thing , Couucll Bluffs was unable to secure - cure a re-count , and the record stands , show ing about one-half thu actual population , , when the census returns were made.

From Council Bluffs a tide of thirty minutes on ttio finest electric motor Hue In the world will place the visitor within 500 tectiof the exposition building , and immediately In front , of the Omaha theaters , hotels' find mercantile houses and In close connection with.tho coliseum building. In Council Bluffs this line touches the Grand , the Ogdcn , the Hotel Oordon , the Pacific and other establishments. Another motor line partially finished , and which can bo completed within a few weeks from the present time , will give the visitor a beautiful ride through an attractive part of Council Bluffs , through the great manufacturing In dustries of the East Omaha laud company , lauding the passcnser equally distant from the Exposition and Coliseum buildings In Om.iha. It is absurd to say Omaha cannot * entertain the convention. Either of these two croat halls can easily scat from ton thou sand to Illteon thousand people. Her hotels can accommodate a vast crowd. Council Bluffs with her splendid hotals , ono of which is the finest between Chicago and San Franeheo , will take care of at least ten thousand guests , and the well known hospitality of the people of this city Is an ample guarantee- for the pleasure and comfort of that many more. Minneapolis complacently refers to the transmi'slsslppl states , and reminds Omaha that she ought to follow the lead of that city by getting the convention In ISUil. The Nonpaivll docs not know how Omaha feels , but as the custom half of the joint metropolis of the Missouri valley , Council Bluffs will follow the lead of no city. She will take the load. As to the transmlsshslppi states to bu benefited by holding the convention at Minneapolis , Iowa Is the only republican state , and she has do- claicd in'favor of Omaha as the proper place to receive the olllclnl recognition of the re publican party at Its next quadrennial gath- 01 Ing.

"Tho dress reform crusade will ultimately bo narrowed to two articles instead ot four , " said a wo man hero yesterday flho Is ono of the reform ers. "These two will bo the tights and tbo dress. The days of the fourteen articles of woman's apparel , just lliuj the thirty-nine ar ticles iu ttio rolieious creeds , are numbered , ur.it wo are on the threshold of a revival of classic simplicity in matters of clothing. It will bo the dress for tbo woman , aud not the woman for the dross. " ' This little speech but mildly reflects the promluonco and potency of tbo now move- incut. Conspicuous reformers arrive at Chautauoua nearly every day. and oven Dr. J. M. Buckley , the llttlo wide uwako editor of the Methodist Christian" Advocateis prim ing himself fora double loaded editorial fa voring the reform. Helen Potter , the well known impersonator , , eamo up from Now York to get the latest news on thb subject , mid Mrs. Frank Parker , the leader , is simply deluded with inquiries. Previous movements toward bettor dross have failed , the reformers say , because they Wore not comprehensive enough. The first movement aimed only nC coin fort and utility , the second was guided by those interested in mproving the health of women , both ignor ing or failing to provide for the clement of beauty. The present "Parker crusade1' in cludes all thcso and comprehends oven a study of the priciplos of dolsarto. It moans something moro tnan the mere putting off of corsets. It means nothing luss than that the beauty line from the armpit to the ankle must be appreciated aud insisted upon , and the effect of physical proportion is obscured if not accompanied by grace of motion. The beauty of the lines of the female form must. bo seen. , To show how the leaven of the new move ment Is working at Chautauquu , it is only necessary to say , and this on the authority of the dress reformers themselves , that tno young women nro making sweeping changes In their wardrobe and that the old style un der garments may bo had for a song. Tlio younger clement are uulto enthusiastic ovir the reform , for the spirit of athletic sports is fairly rampant hero and the girls compote splendidly with the boys In rowing , racing , ridine , fencing , club" swinging , bicycling , tennis , shooting , bathing , in fact , every out door sport. The new style dress frees the youns women from many conventional cus toms and gives them greater play of the mus cles. Hence it is that the reformers are counting converts by the hundreds at Chau- tauqua. Tno southern girls here are the moat enthusiastic on the subject. Whether or not it , is because the hot weather in then- section has taught them to welcome any movement that discards superlluous stay and skins , It Is certain that' ' the young women from Tennessee , Georgia and the Carolluas spending the summer here look upon the abolition of stays with a dccldcitly moro favor than did their forefathers oa tbo abolition of slavory. Mrs. Parker has slipped away for a short rest. Before leaving .she said : "Tho now crusade means something more than an crn- Droidored bathing suit , as ICato Field Inti mates. It means something infinitely bettor Dr. Mary Walker's unwomanly trousers or Elizabeth Cady Stanton's ' ugly rullled bloom ers Neither has it any sympathy with Ella Wheeler Wilcox's nightgown , which Is a suggestion of the bedclmmDer. Our climate Is not suited to this Mother Hubbard cos- tumo. Then , too , li the evolution of dross you must take into consideration the preju dices of women. 'I ho dresses must bo apart from the nightgown , Mrs. Wilcox's idea Ignores the principles of beauty. If you want beauty you must follow the outlines of the figure. The trouble with Mrs. Jonnoss Miller's dross Is that , tbo waist line , which is only one-third of the body , Is lowered too much. She would put on a boy's vest and a boyish , high stiff collar. The upper part of such a llguru would look llKo a sophomore In college , and the lower part 11 no n peanut girl. ' idea-Is' to Mary Seymour's - too nondescript notice. Such a slcirt , reaching down to a point near the ankle , \vWi a boy's jacket , vest and tie , would be out of. ttio question. There Is no unity In the custom.
