Iii the dentil of Key. John Todd , which
took place tit Tabor last ; Thursday , the Con
gregational church of western Iowa lost ono
of Us earliest advocates and staunchest
supporters. Ho was well knuwn throughout
the state nnd partleularly in this vicinity ,
bavlng been born In 1813 and boon pastor of
Iho church at Tabor since the spring of ISo'- .
The suddenness with which the end came
caused a profound shock to the people who
have known him nnd his work. Ho had
often expressed a desire to go suddenly am.
to bo spared iho pain of n long and lingering
illness. On Thursday he was circulating a
petition to the legislature asking that the
prohibition liquor law bo not repealed or
modified. Just as ho had taken the sig
nature of ono of the ladies of the church
ho throw up his hands and fell to the lloor.
Ho died nn instantaneous and painless
death. During the last ten years his ngo
had made It impossible for him to do all the
work that naturally devolved on the pastor ,
nnd nn assistant luid to bo appointed , al
though Mr. Todd was the nominal pastor up
to the day of his death.
Tlio death of this pioneer leaves Ilov. O.
Ci. Hlco of this city the oldest Congrega
tional pastor In the Western Iowa associa
tion. Hocamo hero nbous eighteen months
utter Air. Todd , nnd is now the only sur
vivor of the original association. Ho was
-very properly called upon to conduct the
funeral exorcises and did so last Sunday , an
nudicnco of fully 1.000 people being present
to testify to the respect In which the de
ceased wns held. Mr. Hlco is still halo ami

war.Council
Council Bluffs got Into line last night. In
response to the announcement mtulo In the
papers the republicans of the city to the
number of about 150 gathered at the court
house to do some nnti-prohlbltloii talking
and resolving. It was not a very chcorfiil
crowd , for every one felt that the republi
can party was on the eve of being betrayed ,
lint it was intensely in earnest.
Mr. Hazclton called the meeting to order
ami stated that Us objcua was to take some
action toward the repeal or modification of
the prohibitory law. The republicans of
I'ottawottiiinio county went Into the last
campaign on a inoilllkMtlon platform and
were now justified by nppc.irnncoj in bestir
ring themselves to prevent any breach of
good faith on the part of the members of the
legislature.
"All of us , " said ho , "aro dissatisfied with
the present control , or lack of control , of the
liquor traffic and we are ready for any
arrangement that will change the present
condition of affair ? . "

Alexander Wood was chosen ctutirman
and was greeted by applause as he took the
the judge's bench. lr. V. U Treynor was
elected secretary. A committee- resolu
tions was appointed , consisting of Messrs.
N. M. Pusoy , A. S. Hiiz2lton nnd Theodore
Gulttnr. While the committee was out
drafting Its resolutions Dr. O. W. ( Jordoa
made a siiccch by request of those present.
He said the republican party was in a man
ner on trial before the people of Iowa. Ho
had but little use for any man who would
willfully and deliberately go back on his
word , and Uio party that would do
the same thing would deservedly sink
in the estimation of the people. He
devoutly wished tlmt every saloon could bo
wiped out of existence , but the prcsant law ,
while successful in many parts of the state ,
had certainly been a failure in Council
Bluffs. In the interest of true temperance
a change ought to bo made and a law
enacted that would enable nlacea like Coun
cil Bluffs to regulate what It could not pro
hibit nnd the republican party was under
obligations to do this.
At this point Chairman Pusey of the com
mittee on resolutions read the report ,
couched in the following language :
"Wo , ilio republicans of Pottiuvattamio
county , in mass convention assembled , in tlio
interest of the growth and development of
the resources of our county , in the interest
of the republican party of tins state and
with a view to promote respect for public
law ami In the interest of temucr.uico mul
morality , hereby declare :
"It is an undlsputablo fact that the pro
hibitory law has been an utter and absolute
failure In many localities of this state , and
especially in the Iiirpo centers of population.
Council Blun"sand _ many of the towns in this
county being among the number.
"That In these localities the prohibitory
law has resulted in the saloon being di
vested of all control nnd regulation , nnd In
many instances with the most domocaluing
accompaniment of the wine room.
"That each year of the existence of this
law has , In these localities , bequeathed to
its successor the saloon in greater perma
nency and with increased demoralizing at
tachments.
"That the failure ot this law In thcso com
munities Is not attributable to the courts ,
nor to those charged with its enforcement ,
but to the well known sentiment and firm
conviction upon the part of the great ma
jority of the citizens that it is not the proper ,
fair ifnd most just way to deal with the
liquor question. .
"That no law can bo of effective state-wide
operation , which ii : In opposition to the senti
ments and well settled convictions of a great
majority of the cltuens of the respective
sub-divisions of the state , ami for this rea
son Such attempted legislation is productive
of far more harm than good. "
itELli-M ) ox THEM : PAUTV.
"That the republicans of Iowa , in conven
tion assembled in iho summer of 1803 , see
ing , knowing and believing the above facts ,
after declaring in their platform that pro
hibition is no test of republicanism , in
structed its members in the legislature to
pass such a law as would maintain the pro
hibitory law In those portions of the state
where it was enforced and made effective ,
aim as would give to other localities such
methods of controlling and regulating the
liquor traftio as will bast serve the cause of
temperance nnd morality , thus abandoning
state-wide prohibition and clearly announc
ing that in those portions of the state where
prohibition had not boon enforced it should
bo made lawful to sell Intoxicating liquors ,
under wise and proper regulations , and with
such safeguards as would eradicate the free
and uncontrolled saloon ns wo now have It.
"That , relying on the good faith of the
republican party , and balicving that u
would make good its pledges to the people of
the entire state if entrusted with power , wo
entered the campaign of last fall , and gave
the respective republican candidates our
united nnd energetic support , reducing Gov
ernor Holes' majority In 1891 of 1.05U down
to H73.
"Uesolvod , That wo prefer the localized
saloon , regulated , controlled and hedged
about with proper safeguards , to the unlaw
ful , uncontrolled and lawless saloon as it
now exists under the prohibitory law.
"Resolved , Tlmt the right to manufacture
should follow the right to sell , nnd that in
nit localities where- Is made lawful to soli
'intoxicating liquors' within the meaning of
the law , it should bo made lawful there , to
manufacture tliem , to the end tlmt the large
sums of money bo retained .in our state ,
which would otnorwisogoabroad , and to tlio
end that the products oi onrsoll which cuter
Into the manufactured article should Hud a
market at home.
"Hcsolved , That wo demand that the re-
nubllcan party , through its representatives
in the legislature of Iowa , should make good
the pledges In Us platform , as well to those
localities where the prohibitory law had not
been enforced , and the unbriblcd and uncon
trolled saloon existed ; ns to those local
ities where prohibition had been enforced
and made effective , and whilst wo are will
ing the pledge to the prohibitionists should
be made good wo demand from it that the
pledges on this subject to us bo redeemed by
the prompt passage of unequitable and care
fully guarded local option law. We miiko
tills demand In the name of honesty and fair
dealing , and wo make It In the Interest of
morality and temperance. The measure we
are willing to mete to others , lot it bo meas
ured to us. .
"Uesolved. That a committee of ten bo ap
pointed , with instructions to go to Das
Molnoa with thcso resolutions and thcro use
every honorable endeavor to procure the en
actment of a law that will carry out the pro
visions of the republican platform and In
accordance with thcso resolutions. "
Mr. Pusoy followed the reading with a
few roirmrks in which ho called attention to
the provisions of the republican state plat
form and to the fact that ho and multitudes
of other republicans hud worked and voted
for the success of the party on the supposi
tion that the platform meant what It said In
jilatn terms. Now , It seems there are re
publicans in the legislature so unfair and
dishonest OH to put or. entirely different con
structions ou tbo platform from mat given
bofuro election , and such men ulnuld bo
given to understand that honest rep iblkMns
resented this reckless violation of their
word. The resolutions wore enthusiastic *
ally adopted.
Spencer Smith was then called
for. He cited history to show that the first
local option law over on the statute books of
lown was put there by the republican party ,
so that .inch a way of dealing With the ques
tion could not bo called unrepubllcan. Ho
tr.icod the history of the famous "thirteenth
plank" of the platform and wound up his re
marks by urging the legislators to keep
their wont.
Air , llazclton recommended that the com-
mluec of tqq tlmt was to go to DM Molnc ?
to wrestle with the legislators bo composed
Clci vet *
Mr. Uoss stated that before ho consented
to have his name put upon the commit
tee ho wanted ono change made in the pro-
nniblc. Tlio greatest danger about the pros-
c-nt condition of things was the constantdls-
respect of the law. In the original draft of
the resolutions no rofercnco was made to
this phase ot the e.isc. and he wanted the
chatipo made. His suggestion mot with the
approval of the audience.and the change
was made. .

Ice Hauler * ynlt Work unit Miiku Trnuliln
for the SlirrllT.
There w.is trouble among the Ice men
northwest of the city yesterday and the day
before , nnd for a time It looked as though
there might bo a big riot.
A. B. Nicholas has had 9ver 103 teams em
ployed cutting nnd hauling Ice from thorivor
to his leo homos , ono of which is located
near the Northwestern roundhouse and the
other farther up town. Ho has paid fiOcents
a load for ice delivered nf , the first mimed
house and 70 cents for the other. Monday
the men oamo to the conclusion that they
wore not getting enou-li for their work , and
they demanded 7.5 cents nnd $1 a load respec
tively. This dcininl was refused and the
trouble commenced.
The disaffected 01133 bag.in to Intimidate
men who persisted'in workiag at the old
wages , and during the day there wore sev
eral lights , In which fiioas were scr.itchel
nnd eyes blacked galora. It was hoped , however -
over , that the men would change their minds
before long , and no aid was summoned from
the authorities.
Yesterday mornlntlio disturbance was
renowe.l. Most of It soemja to bs raised by
about llfteon or twoaty man , while thj rji
would have been willing to work had It not
bicn for the throats mad" by tnelr compan
ions. Mr. Nicholas was called vile names
when he refused to r.ilso the pay , and then
ho bccamo stubborn and declared that ho
would not pay them another cent If ho had
to put a side track In and carry his Ice down
by railroad. So the loaders of the strike
proceeded to blocitado the road In order to
prevent the others from passing. The road
In many places is just wide enough for
teams to pass single file , so it was compara
tively easy for one team to stop twenty-live.
Those who were not willing to be stopped
were iiickly brought to terms by being told
that if they persisted In working their
wagons would bo tipped over. The loaders
also pelted the workers with mud and blocks
of ice.
The trouble at last became so bad that
Sheriff Ilazcn wns called on for assistance.
He took his jailor , Mack Goodwin , with him
and by a little judicious bluffing managed to
got the refractory follows to go homo. Ho
spent the entire day there , and although the
men were , for the most part , peaceable
when they thought their being otherwise
might cause their arrest , as soon as his bick
was turned the trouble would be renewed.
By evening the strikers had been induced to
go avi.iy , but the amount of work that was
done all day long was very small. Five
teams , who kept at It in spite of delays ,
ma-Jo $ i.M each , which is considered very
eood wages in times like these. The sheriff
5oos not look for . \ renewal of hostilities
today and will not go out unless sent for.

did llnd the Jawbone of a n.an , probably that
of an Indian , and n tin pall , both of which
