NEWS FROM COUNCIL BLUFFS How Oity Officials and Their friends Got Into the Oircui , ONE HUNDRED TICKETS DISTRIBUTED Mlirrnlltr to n Tr.wMIni ; .Show Cnute * n t'rnneciitlnii In .Juitlco Court Hewn n City Orcllnitico linn llton Itupcntuilly Fractured. If ForopaURh's circus did not have quite so good an attendance when It exhibited In Council Bluffs last Tuesday It was certainly not the fault of the city officials or their intlmalo friends , as was developed yester day morning In police court , when J. N. Me- Cudilon en mo up for trial on the charge of exhibiting a circus without paying the nec essary license fco us provided by the city ordinances. It is n well known custom among show people to fur nish tl-o city ofllslnls with passes , but most people bad no Idea prob ably as to the liberality which that re quires. Yesterday morning Mr , McCnddon shoved his contract with the city clerk out for the Inspection of Justice VIen , who held court , whctiiU was developed that his ad vance ngent had agreed to give the city clerk 100 tickets , of the value of K > 0. These tickets , both McCaddon and City Clerk Zurmuolilcii want It understood , were an afterthought and bad nothing to do with rcdutina the amount of the Hcoimo fee which the cireus was compelled to pay. Acteil ns IIU On Lawyer. The prosecution of McCaddon was carried on by W. H. Ware nnd Judge E. E. Aylcs- worth. McCaddon looked after his own case , although John Limit and City Attorney Ilnzclton mndo a few remarks that probably had something to do with securing his ulti mate discharge. Hazelton claimed that the contract which had been entered Into bo- twcon the advance agent and the city - clerk had been executed and signed In good faith. and that McCaddon could not be compelled to pay any more. At the close of the trial the court took Hnzclton's view of Hie case nnd dis charged McCaddon , stating that if the city wished any more money It must bo obtained from the bondsmen 01 the city ouleinls , who wcro responsible for the opening of the bar gain sale of show licenses. An Investigation of the city records shows that the ordinance under which McCaddon was arrested has been largely a dead letter over since its passage In 1832 , its use being more lilto tnat of a gun In the hands of a highwayman than a law that was intended to bo enforced. So far as can bo learned no circus that has ever visited Council Bluffs has paid the amount stipulated In the ordinance. Two years ago Foropaugh paid ? HK ) . A smaller circus that exhibited hero last spring paid $ ' ' . " > . and other circus have paid any amount between these two that could bo squeezed out of them. The generosity of the show' com panies in giving to those in authority tickets which did not cost them anything- has un doubtedly had its share In deciding what amount should bo levied on each company. None Will Accept the Illume. City Clerk Zurmuohlcn docs not want to shoulder the entire responsibility for issuing a license for $100 less than the law provides , and claims ho acted under the advice of the mayor. Mayor Lawrence in turn passes off the soft imputation and says he acted on the advice of several aldermen , among them Jennings. Who Jennings consulted has not so far been ascertained. Lawrence states that the aldermen with whom ho advised told him that there was an understanding with his predecessors by which the ordi- nunco should bo construed with a great deal of India rubbcrllko elasticity , and thus quieted his anxiety for the passage of n now ordinance making demands more reasonable upon traveling show companies. Just what motive Aylesworth and Wfl.ro could have In bringing this matter before the public just ut this time is a question which puzzled a great many people yester day. While both uro recognized as patriotic enough for all practical purposes , neither is given credit for being willing to lay himself on the altar of his country to quite the ex tent appearances might Indicate. It is con ceded by nearly everybody , excepting Ware and Aylesworth , that there is n political motive back of it all. which may comate to light bcforo long. As stated in THE BEE some time ago , City Clerk Xurmuelilen is making a quiet rustle for the chairmanship of the democratic county cen tral committee. Ware and Aylesworth are said to bo plotting against him , and the springing of this charge of fooling with the public money Is intended as a stem-winder for him. Besides , they think they see n way of throwing Mayor Lawrence's repub lican administration Into disrepute at the same time , and these two motives arc the ones which are said to have actuated them In this caso. A local democratic statesman says that the prosecution will go no further , as some ono who has a "dead cinch" on Wnro and Aylesworth will "pull them off. " Notice to I'tuiuo I'urlloB.

Senator Voorhoes introduced n Jolnl roso- lulion lo the senate a wcok iipo .iu.thorl7.lng Secretary Carlisle to remit the 5 'per cent penalty on whisky now bonded In custom warehouses u | > on which the tax is about to become duo. Ills resolution was the result of. an carne t effort on the part of distillers throughout the south nnd west to postpone the payment of taxes on whiskies which had been bonded in IbUO and on which Iho three-year limit had expired. Secretary Carlisle was unable to afford the dis tillers Iho relief they asked and Sen ator Voorhccs' Joint resolution was looked upon as iho only solution of the difficulty. It is understood that Com missioner of Internal Havenuo Miller does not favor the extension of the period for paying the taxes and will send u loiter to the committee on finance , to which Senator Voorhoes' resolution has been referred , strongly protosllntr ngalnsl the adoption of the resolution. It Is not dlnlcult lo under- slond Commissioner Miller's reason. The treasury needs money rind is confronted with the absolute necessity of again dipping into the gold reserve to pay the current ex penses of the government. For this reason Mr. Miller is unwilling that Iho Ireasury at this period should bo deprived of the money due on the bonded spirits. The subject is of vital interest to some Interests. W nhiitton Feeling the Dopromlon. Real estate men estimate that there are 2,000 empty houses in { Washington. Thn business depression which has spread over the country has at last struck Iho national capital. There is ordinarily so much idle money in Washington and such small mar- elns on Investments , because of the unvary ing character of realty , Ihnt tt is rare to ex perience nny > niatorial degree of variation in the better class of invesluicnts. It is said that there are nearly 2,000 houses hero that have never' boon occupied. Many of thcso have beert finished three years. Many of them were completed last summer nnd autumn. It Is easy lo secure leases upon residences In Washington on a 5 per cent net basis ; that Is , leases figured at the market value of the p'roperty , with taxes , insurance and repairs added. In the higher classes of residence ouoncan secure leases on a 4 per cent net basis , The owners are con tent to lake ihelr chances on a rise in iho value of the properly'as ' a profit , The landlord-ahd-tenant laws In the Dis trict of Columbhvi.'are very unfavorable to the landlord.-1.It''is ' surprising that there , has been sifch an enormous amount of capi tal put into'roal estate and buildings here during the past four or flvo years , flad it not been for the great rise in Iho value of real estate the tenants at the national cap ital would bo clamoring for more buildings. Within flvo yonrj however , the price of real estate , taking the city over , has risen from 60 to 100 per cent. Mint t'ay In Advance. Strangers who come' to Washington with their families and locate uro often vexed because they nro required to pay their rent in advance no matter how good their credit may bo at home. Men worth hundreds of thousands of dollars , who could have individual chocks cashed to buy resi dences in Washington for twice their value , are required to hand their rent to the agent in advance at the opening of every month. This universal custom is explained by the law governing landlords and tenants in Washington. When once a tennnl is located In a house ho can beat his landlord out of iwo months ana a half rent in spilo of any precaution which the owner may take , if it wore not for the custom to require lenants to pay In advance. Un der the law the landlord must give a tenant thirty days notice to v.iciuo Ihe property. If it were not for the pay-In- advance system the tenant would have the advantage of ono month's rent bcforo ho was given notice to vacate. Ho could then occupy the property for thirty days more. At the cnl of thai time ho would have sovcn days lo answer Ihe complaint before a Jus tice. When once ho had answered and Ihcro was a trial and Judgment ho would have three days before his goods would beset sot out in the street. Thus , It will bo seen , the pay-in-advnnco system is necessary in order to beat the dcadbeats. There nro other liberal laws hero In favor of the tenant when it comes to executing a Judgment. A housaholdcr has 1111 offset of $ T > OU , besides his tools and "necessary family appliances. " Under this clause ho may have a horse and cart sot aside , and where ihcro are chil dren in the family the piano is 0 taken out of the fTiOO appraisement. 0o In short , there is hardly anything hero like u distrain of household properly In suing for inr. rental indebtedness , and when a suit is r.ir brought for rent and the tenant has no real 1 ir property , iho landlord is almost helpless. it There is such u largo proportion of real es in tate in Washington held as permanent In In ; vestments b.\ retired and wealthy citizens , Iny and those from other cities who nave largu means , that the severest sort of panic would rs result in the least possible suffering. It la ; very seldom thai morlgnges are foreclosed hero or real catnip sold under execution , The largo number pf p.mpty residences , how to ever , BUggcsts that rent Is likely to export ir cnce u sharp decline during these dull times , to AllnoeJIniicoua. re Senator Mandcrs n'introduced a bill todaj ty , amending the general land law * by maklnu ceded Indian lands free to live-year homesteaders - steaders , . a , A marriage license 'was ' yesterday Issued 1 10 to Kphruiin J.

RICHER THAN SPANISH GALLEON Immense ) Cargo < > f Uulilcii I'lunks I.umlud In Xow York. The steamship Sprco of the North Gorinim Lloyd line reached Now York city last wcok with $4,230,000 of gold on board. The Now York Press thus tolls the story : Common-looking trucks were the four which rolled down Broadway Thursday without causing even u ripple of excitement in tlio noonday crowd which hustled along that thorough faro. Some few people may have shot u pass ing glance at tlio m-ooession , not for the reason that the trucks were laden with small bo.xos , but because there were four wcll-drcsscd men on each truck. The men did not look ah if they had to steal a ride , and yet ouch scorned intent on retaining his placo. When ono or two urchins attempted to "catch on 'hind" the men rudely ordered , then off. On reaching Trinity church the four trucks turned into Wall Btreot. Two minutes later they were lost to view behind the grcon wooden gates which separate the United States sub-treasury from the assay olllco. Just thirty minutes after the trucks had entered the alloy they were again on Broadway. The four men who had occupied pliieos of honor were not tliuro. Neither were the little wooden boxes. The latter had boon re moved to the spcoio room of the sub- treasury building and the men were trying to cool their throats , parched - by the anxiety of guarding millions of dollars. , The four trucks contained 120 unsus picious looking wooden boxes which were strapped at either end with thick steel hands. Each box contained gold coin , the total vnlno being $ li")0,000. The value of the precious yellow metal in each box varied from 2.,000 to Ji'iO.OOO. It all came from tlio steamship Spree of the North Gorman Lloyd com pany whlch.carrled it from Southampton to this port. The consignment was the largest that over reached the United j1 States in ono vessel. On the steamship it was secreted in a little room to which S the light of day never peeped , and so o fur below the main deck as to make it d impossible for any one to roach it either s from outside or In without the permis Sn sion of the captain und pursor. n August Ticlbaar , purser of the Sprco , ire has tlio credit of being the custodian ol 'o o , the largest amount of specie that ever i- 'oy was brought across the ocean at one 10 time , Mr. Tlulbuar is a comparatively r 10 young man , ami yet ho is the senior ol 10 the Nerd Dontscho Lloyd pur.sors. lie 10 stands U feet U inches in Ills stockings , .11 is well built und looks porfeutb ill rs capable of undertaking the tusli it of guarding millions.

It is placed on the tug and carried to the vessel , which lies at anchor in the stream. On being taken aboard the gold is lowered by means of a crane to the "specie com partment , " lust forward ot the after hutch. The compartment Is about 25 foot long , IB feet wide and 10 feet high. The walls , floor and colling are all of steel. The only means of access is a little stool door about flvo fcot high , which opens into the aCtor hatch and is fastened by two locks , which operate a dozen bolts. The purser and captain are the only ones who have keys to the compartment , and it would only be in the event of the mirsor being 111 that the captain would open the doors. When the gold Is safely stored and the door locked the hatch is battomul down on the orlop dock , Freight und baggugo is piled upon it , so that until It is re moved it is impossible for any ono to get near the valuable metal. A thief might find his way into the hold , but ho would have to have as much strength und more hands than Sampson In order to make away with oven ono of the Inxos , which generally weigh abjut 150 pounds. It took a force of twenty-two men to discharge the six and one-half tinu of gold which the Sprco carried.

None has ever been found after d bringing specie from Kuropo , but several 11 years ago , after currying a number of id cu'.ics of Mexican dollars from this port id to Southampton , several hundred of the 10 pieces were found on the lloor of the 3S compartment.
