H tlicro Is any distinction In being shot at
frequently and shot nt v.llh llio Intention of
doing Great bodily Injury or nnytlilng else
that mlBlit happcin to result from the col
lision of a man and a bullet , then Deb Lim
erick la entitled to bo called a distinguished
man. In his numerous efforts to avoid ar
rest he has given a number uf the members
of the iiollco force an opportunity to use him
as a Hying target , but always without any
results , until Officer Murphy amputated a
Ilttlo finger at 100 paces ulillo Limerick was
disappearing In a cornfield In the direction
of Manaua a few days ago.
Yesterday he concluded to give the county
constables a chance to try their guns on
him. L' . W. Jackson was the man ho picked
out to do the shooting , and thu opportunity
was gl\en when Jackson was returning to
thu county jail after taking him up to
Justice Field's court to testify In the case
of Kerns and Harris , \\lio were suposcd to
bo Implicated with him In the recent at
tempt to rob Mrs. Fields In her husband's
coal olllco.
Jackson had placed Limerick In his buggy ,
and when ne.ir the corner o ! 1'lrst avenue
Limerick threw his feet over the wheels and
jumped out. Jo Jackson abandoned hh
her o and rtarted after him. For several
blocks It was a hot race , with all the chances
In favor of Limerick. After calling upon him
to halt several times Jackson began to shoot
and 38-callber bullfts v.cre sinplng merry
tunes around the flying man. lie seemed to
HKo It , for Instead of breaking straightaway
ho ran around In a big circle , with Jackson
hi the center. The shooting attracted a big
crowd , but no ono wanted to get in the Im-
medlato vicinity of Ltmeiick for fear they
might conic Into contact with one of the
constable's bullets. Near the Crystal mills
Limerick dogded Into nn alley and was hav
ing a fair chance to get away when ho ran
Into the arms of C. S. Colby , late populist
candidate for marshal , and was held until
the constable came up. An examination
failed to reveal the marl's of any of the
bullets on Limerick's body and he was taken
back to the county Jail Instead of the under
taker's oiricc , as hundreds of people con
fidently expected ho would bo.

IS IT CONSTITUTIONAL ?
Judge McOeo Will 1'uts Upon the Traniloiit
liilslncHH Ordinance.
Juclgo McGco heard the evidence yesterday
morning In the case of the city ngalm.1 A.
Uartlett , the gentleman from Dos Molnes
who opened a temporary book btore here
and was arrested for his alleged failure to
comply with all of the ordinances Intended
for the regulation of such traffic nnd the
protection of local merchants. The evidence
on the part Of the city showed that Mr. nait-
lett had fitted up a room at 636 Broadway
and had put In a stock of books , and was
soiling them during the evening at auction
and nt private sale through the day , tl at
tho. fixtures of the room were of a temporary
character and that the general appearanca of
the store gave evidence of the transient na
ture of the business.
City Attorney Hazelton conducted the
prosecution and Fllcklnser Bros , looked
after the defense. Bartlett himself was
the only witness examined by the dofenbo.
Ills statement of the facts was that ho
came hero from DCS Molnea hunting for a
location , that ho liked the appearance of
the town nnd thought he could bell bomo
books hero. The first thine ho did was to
go to the city clerk and Inquire about the
license. He asked the clerk for an
auctioneer's license , and received and paid
for a document that entitled him to do
business until July 1. Ho testllicd that
ho asked the clerk If there was any other
license required and was told that this was
nil. Upon the strength of this ho rented a
room nnd ordered hla ( roods to bo shipped
from Des Molnes. The cargo comprised
over eight tons. Immediately after openIng -
Ing ho was bcrvcd with notice that his
license had been revoked for the reason
that It vvnK obtained under false pretenses ,
that ho should have taken out a transient
dealer's license , Ho testified that ho had
rented the store by the month , but could
not tell how lorn ; ho would remain In bust-
ness hero.
The arguments were made to the court at
the afternoon session. The city attorney
argued that the ordinance was constitutional
nnd n necessary protection of local mer
chants ; that It did not Interfere with statu
statutes or the Inte'stute commerce law , for It
specifically named transient and nonresident
dealers. The attorneys for the defensa
claimed that the evidence failed to show that
Bartlett was a transient dealer and that the
transient ordinance was Illegal , for the rea
son that It proposed unequal taxation , $10 a
year for ono man and $100 for another ; that
taxes could only bo legally assessed for
police nnd municipal purposes , when the
ordinance made each merchant pay his pro
rata poitlon.
Judge McGco took the case under advise
ment , and It Is supposed will render his
decision this morning.
IIU Duty ,
An old horse , formerly a member of the
II ro department , gave a great exhibition yes
terday of hla ability to still run with the ma
chine. When an alarm of fire was sounded
ho was standing hitched to n light delivery
wagon , used In peddling coal oil and gasoline
by Barton Bros. When the. hose carts re-
ppondcd , ono of them , headed by Chief
NIcholHon's wagon , passed near him. The
old spirit seized him and away ho went ,
taking his position In the procession Immedi
ately behind thu chief. The oil cans wcra
dancing llko corks and jumping out of the
at both ends , but the old horao
reckoned not on the conicfUcncc3 | of dis
tributing the Rtuft In the vicinity of n fire
There was no chance of stopping him and
Chief Nlcholaon concluded that the safest
plan was to lend him away from the fire.
Ho turned up High street and the old horse
followed him with the greatest enthusiasm.
Near the top of the hill at St. Peter's church
the chief turned his buggy In toward the
curb on the left hand side as If to stop. The
drlvcrlcss horse made a sweeping turn on
the opposite side , nnd seemed to be looking
for the hydrant that ho thought ought to be
there. The turn sent the remainder of the
cans tumbling out of the wagon onto the
pavement. The racket frightened him Into
temporarily forgetting his duty , and he
finished up hla freak with a first class run
away , that left but little of the wagon nnd
none of the cans In eight.

COUNCIL BLUffS , March 10. To the
Editor of The Bco : Have you ever noticed
the piebald and clownish appearance of the
telegraph nnd electric light poles especially ,
nnd other public places In this city on which
appears the advertisements of all supposed
cures for the bald head , stomach ache , liver
complaint , gout , etc. ad Inflnltum from the
crown of the head to the soles of the feet ,
noticed the defacement on the beautiful
park walk ? How many have ever thought
what unslghtllnebs thin glvns to our city.
Isn't It time that Council Bluffs lifts her
self above such tolerance of barn door
spectaculars ? If there Is no ordinance
against such custom the writer would sug
gest that one be passed , nnd with a proviso
that the patrolmen arrest any ono caught
at such \nndallHm. Such matter should bo
confined to the licensed bill boards and not
to the public property , as Is now done.

Colorado It had nc\er been placed on Ito
final passage before the senate and hence
had never become a law. H Is believed

Paine's Celery Compound tiie Remedy
Marcli ls , In fact , the first month In the
year.
January stands first In the calendar only
for convenience of business.
Now Is the time to got well !
Thiough the long winter most men and
women do not taste fresh air nor drink In
sunlight of toner than once a week or once
n foitnlght.
It Is no wonder so many hard-working men
and women approach spring with a feeling of
weakness nnd debility and a languor of mind
they cannot shako off without the assistance
of a blood purifier and a true food for the
nerves and brain.
Beyond a doubt the best spring medicine
Is Paine's celeiy compound. When Its use
diseases loosen their hold In the spring.
These are the fa\orable months for attackIng -
Ing rheumatism , lumbago , nervous diseases
and weakness of the digestive organs and
Palue's celery compound cures them where
everything else falls.
The most eminent professor , and a man of
ticmcmlous cxpeilonco , Prof. Hdw.ird 13.
Phelps , M. D. , LL. D. , dlt-covercd the for
mula for Paine's celeiy compound In the
famous laboratoiy connected with the Dart
mouth medical school. It Is the remarkable
outcome of the century's study of blood and
nerves , and their close dependence upon each
other for health.
But remember the time-worn text : "Spring
comes but once a year. " Take advantage of
the favorable season. Get well and strong
and free from the aliments that como from
poor blood and worn-out nerves. Changes
in the blood and nervous tissues take place
very rapidly at this time. In March and
April the blood Is most capable of throwing
off its tmpuiltlcs.
Purify the blood and Invigorate the ner
vous system with Paino's celery compound !
Hard times nnd overwork nro best met
with Paine's celery compound.
Indigestion jlolds to n reasonable care In
taking Paino's celery compound. Liver and
Kidney troubles will not persist when only
pure blood Hews through these Important
organs. The cuie of discard of the stomach
and nerves by Pnlno's celery compound
starts nt the cry cause of the trouble , thin ,
watery blood , and Jangled , shaky nerves.
Thousands of overworked business men
and hosts of plain , hard-working people are
today strong nnd happy whoso lives wcro
full of wielchedness and weakness before
tr > lng Paine's celery compound.
Dlsoidcrs of the liver , stomach and kid
neys can now be thoroughly drl\cn out of the
sjstcni by Paine's celery compound , the
remedy that makes people well.
At the fiist Indication of nervous weak
ness and a "inn down" condition of the sys
tem , tone up the stomach with Pnlno's cel
ery compound , regulate the nervous system
nnd nouilsh the body by this great Invlgor-
ntor.
ntor.Try
Try It and bo convinced.
One of the best known young men of
Holjoke , Mass. , Mr. J. E. Moyett , whobo
likeness Is given abo\e , writes frankly.
"I have taken Pnlno's celery compound
and found It to bo the best medicine that I
have ever taken. I felt weak and run down
and could not eat anything In the morning ,
also had \omltlng spell every morning
after getting up. I took pait of two bottles
of Paino's celery compound and feel bettor
than I have for a year. I can cheerfully
recommend It to nny one , My wife Is taking
it now for weakness nnd noivousncss , and It
helps her very much. Tlio drugglbt where
wo trade tells my wlfo that Paine's celery
compound outsells any other medlclno that
they keep. "
That Is the story from ono end of the
country to the other ; because Pulno's celery
compound cures.
