In 1JM-D and for some time previous a gang of thieves was operating on freight car * In the Northwestern yards , and some of the stolen property was traced to Feur- h.iukcn'ii place , which was well known to the police. Every conceivable rort of old Junk was found th rc. When approached by tlic polite Fcurlmuken claimed he had simply bought the stolen property from some other men , but he was nevertheless ai rested , and when , after a number of con tinuances , the case finally came up b-fore Judge Macy for trial , he was unable to convince the Jury that his intentions had been perfectly honorabl" , and he was found guilty. The amount of the stolen property was fixed at JS- , his motion for a new trial was overruled , and on October 31 , 18S9 , he was ( sentenced to spend two years In the Fort MadlFon penitentiary at hard labor. Some time previous to this an attorney , A. ( ' . McGulgan blew Into town from Xcoln. and got himself engaged by Feur- haul.cn. An appeal bond was filed In the sum of $1,000 , and a transcript of thf > ev idence was made out. Soon after Me- Gulgan and Feurhauken hud a falling out , and McGulgan left for Cre ton , taking all the papers with him. Since that tlm the case has been allowed to drop out of sight and It Is said that McGulgan has died. No bill of exceptions has ever been 111 d , and the appeal to the supreme court Is In no respect any nearer completion than it was three years ago. County Attorney Organ , when asked about the matter yesterday , stated that he had Instructed the county clerk to make out a new transcript to be filed In the su preme court In place of the one McGulgan has In his possession. The only explanation he had to offer for the case having not been pros ° cuted any more vigorously was that In this Instance , as In many others , the at torneys for the appellant were allowed to file the transcript , and that they had neg lected to take the proper steps.

Greenshlelds , Nicholson & Co. DocHn't I.Ike the Verdict. COUNCIL BLUFFS , May 16. To the Ed itor of The Bee : I was surprised when I looked at the items In the Council Bluffs columns of The Bee this morning and saw- the decision of the coroner's Jury on the killing of Mr. John Kelly last Sunday. They say the horse ran away. It would be a queer old plug that would notv run or jump as It did when the whistle was blown in Us face. All persons living in that vicinity say the company runs Its trains too fast and gives no warning. There are 110 sign boards at most of the crossing ? , and the wonder Is there are not more accidents than there are. I have been told by differ ent persons that they escaped -nith their lives by a second. 1 have crossed their tracks hundreds of times when the trains come speeding along at the rate of twenty , thirty , and even forty miles an hour. Our council should takeup the matter and com pel all trains to Vun as the law of Iowa re quires them to run inside the city limits. The council does not even compel them to provide crossings for teams or to bring the tracks to the propsr grade. Now that the howl Is that there Is not work enough fcr the poor , why not make the railroads pro vide flagmen on the crossings and give a few of those looking for work something to do , and at the same time protect the people on the railroad crossings. M. J. KELLY. A Hearty Endorsement. "I noticed In The Bee yesterday what I consider a just and hrarty endorsement of the Council Bluffs Insurance company , " said a citizen yesterday , "and I think the re marks he made are the right lines. I un derstand the Council Bluffs company is carrying between 1,500 and 2,000 policies for Council Bluffs people , and this fact must certainly be considered a hearty home en dorsement that gives emphasis to the re marks referred to. There Is no reason why the Council Bluffs company should not write the bulk of the fire Insurance risks for Coun cil Bluffs people. There Is certainly no company on earth that has a brighter or better record at Its home. Every loss It has had has been adjusted and paid before the ashes got cold , and you can't well beat that for promptness. I want to see the people of this city aprpeclate a. good thing when they have It , and that's the only In terest I have In the Council Bluffs Insurance company.

Knocking OR A The Board of Equalization held a long star chamber session last evening In the mayor's private office , and when the mem bers came out they walked with an air that showed they had all their business cut and dried. All their business was transacted in whispers. John T. Stewart made affidavit that he did not have $5,000 In money and credit subject to taxation as personal taxes and the board promptly knocked off his assessment. The same was done with the $5,000 assessment of George Keellne. W. H. M. Pusey pro tested against a proposed ralsa of the assess ment of Officer & Pusey's tank. Every chattel loan agent In the city was freed from the burdens of taxation on his capital stock. The same was done with every man who carries on a loan business or deals In city warrants. The latter class Includes F. T. True , the board reconsidering Us action of two nights before and knocking off the assessment of $3,000. The assessment of the Citizens State bank was put back to where It was when the assessor got through with It. The assessment of the Council Bluffs Sav ings bank was raised $8,000 , and with that the board wound up Us work for the year. Itlicumntlim Cured lu Three Dajn.

TALKING TO NO PURPOSE Mine Owners Make ( Proposition Which the Minerp'R ject. " ' SPARRING FOR p'AN ; OPENING Miners Still Adhere -to-Tliclr Demand for thr Old Srnlc or > iitliliir | Conven tion CcttlncJ lu'acljfor I.oiiBi Mvgc. r : i\ \ CLEVELAND , Ma > r 1C. Although one ses sion of the coal conference has been held and a night spent In caucusing has Inter vened the conditions just before the con ference met today were still very chaotic. At 8 o'clock the miners had another execu tive session In Case hall to perfect their scale of wages , which was to be later pre sented to the convention In the form of a simple resolution calling for a rate of 79 cents In the Plttsburg district , CO cents In the central Pennsylvania district , 70 cents In the Jackson and Hocking Valley fields In Ohio , SO to S5 cents In the Mas- slllon district , i from 70 to 0 cents In In diana and from 75 to S3 cents In Illinois. Back of these general figures arc rates for the different subdivisions In each large dis trict , so that the matter Is almost as com plicated on affair as the tariff bill. The most of It Is wholly uninteresting to the great majority of the miners and opera tors. tors.The The operators held another meeting at the Hollendcn early today and continued their effort to unite upon a plan to be fol lowed In the convention. A more liberal feeling was manifest , but the Plttsburg rail men and the Ohloans were still pretty far apart , the latter contending that the miners would not listen to the proposition discussed during the night to establish a rate of Co cents for Pittsburg with a dif ferential of y cents In fa\or of the Ohio operators. That proposition Is for a com promise ! of the half-and-half kind , being 15 cents above what the Pittsburg men arc now paying and 14 cents below what the miners demand. The members of the committee of ten who had been ruled out of the convention were still present , with the exception of A. II. Dempster , the leader , who went home during the night. The desertion of T. II. Chapman and R. H. Hartley , two large coal producers , was looked upon as Indica tive of weakening on tfie part of the ob structionists , but Sccrefary Patrick J. Mc- Brldo does not view It rn that light. He Is still of the opinion that the Plttsburg rail opertors are determined to prolong the strike. OPERATORS CONFER. The mine operators met again In the Chamber of Commerce rooms at 10 o'clock todr.y to consider their side of the wage question. At that meeting , which was presided over by Mr. Johnwn of Columbus , O. , a repcvt was called for by Mr. Chap man of Jackson county , Pennsylvania , from the members present at the Pennsylvania operators' meeting last night. Mr. Bob bins , as the representative of that meet ing , announced that the Pennslyvanla op erators had agreed upon a rate of 65 cents for Pennsylvania and 58 'cents for the Hocking Valley district. He was asked by Mr. Charles Chapman If that was the ac tion of the entire Pennsylvania delegation or whether the ten PlttAburg delegates still held aloof from the'agreement. Ills reply to that was"It 'was' the action of last night's meeting , and'tvae" ' ! think , the unan imous sentiment of Jbat meeting. " Mr. Robbtns then said that he would like to know If that was satlsXxctory to the Ohio operators. One of the prominent Ohio operators , on behalf of the mine operators of that state , repllerUthlft he believed that would be entirely satlpfattory for Ohio , and that the Ohio mine , owners would heartily co-operate with Pennsylvania to secure that end. Mr. Robblns then , moved that a com mittee of five members representing each state be appointed to1.gree upon a scale of wages to bepresentedrUo the ; convention arranged satisfactorily to each state upon that basisThis was agreed to , and the committee went Into session on the wage schedule. Outside of the meeting of ; mine operators many operators are In favor of going into the convention today with the wage sched ule arranged on the basis proposed at the operators' conference , submitting the sched ules to the operators for their consideration and then adjourning. The following committee was then ap pointed to represent the operators In the several states In conference with the min ers : Ohio J. F. Morton , John Brashers of Hocking : W. R. Woodford , eastern Ohio- J. L. Chapman of Jackson ; W. J. Mulllns , Masslllon. Pennsylvania M , II. Tn > lor , John Bb'the , Thomas H. Chapman , J. C. Die , F. L. Rob- blna. j Indiana W. Kenner , J. R. Seifert , James Norton , David Ingalls. J. S. Dailcy. Chairman Zerb called the conference to order today In Case hall. Resolutions were read from the State Board of Trade and the Chamber of Commerce of this city urging the delegates to life convention In the In terests of the country at large to act har moniously. Mr. F. L. Robins of Plttsburg moved that the usual order of business prevailing at former conventions , be adopted. It was agreed to. President McBride announced that the miners' committee were ready to confer. Up then moved that the convention adjourn temporarily so as to permit the scale committees of four members from each side to meet In conference. This was agreed to and the meeting adjourned after a meeting lasting less than thirty minutes. The conference committee of the miners consists of President "John McBrlde , Vice President P. H. Pomia of Indiana , Secretary Patrick McBride and District President J. A. Crawford of Illinois , Cameron Miller of Ohio , W. B. Wilson of Pennsylvania , John A. Cairns of Pennsylvania , A. A. Adams of Ohio , Joseph Dunkerley of Indiana , Jerry Mead of Maryland and John Fahey of Ohio. Before thei afternoon session of the conven tion convened the conference committee of miners and operators held a joint meeting In the Chamber of Commerce. The miners submitted their demands , which was a restoration of the old rate. OPERATORS MAKE AN OFFER. The operators offered a C5-cent rate for Pennsylvania and 5C cents for Ohio. President McBrlde made a strong speech , saying that the miners would never agree to a settlement on this basis. At 3 o'clock the joint conference was still In session , while the delegates were as sembled at Case hall awaiting tholr report. The joint committee .remained In session until C o'clock this itbntng , when an ad journment until morning was taken. It was announced that no 'agreement had been reached. The miners refused to recede from their demand for ai restoration of the old rate and the operators , Jn the absence of Instructions , could make no concessions. The operators are holding , wether meeting this evening to decide wjifjljer they shall make the miners another < jer or give up the > * attempt to fettle the strike When the con ference reassembles In the morning the com mittee will make It * report and definite ac tion nil ) then bo taken. The operator : ! met tonight and received the report of yiclr representatives on the joint scale committee , which vas that no agreement could be reached with the miners on the committee. The operators approved their action In the committee and Rave them a vote of confidence. Therefore the wage question will be thrown back on the general convention tomorrow morning. riTTSUUIlO , Kan. , May 16. Tito expected conference between the operators and a com mittee of miners , which was to have taken place hero today , did not materialize.

Trying Preparation for Entrance into Society What Paino's Celery Com pound Does. To be graceful , entertaining , accomplished In music and French , easy talkers on topics of the day , yet up In ancient history this and much more Is what society expects of the young girls who "come out" at IS or ID In the few years before 20 so great u change Is wrought that we almost , as If by magic , ECO a woman , where but a short time before was only a child. If during these ci ideal years , constant mental " \ertion absorbs blood and nerve force , the system grows feeble and suffers from lack of nourishment. The vital mlbtake of the thousands of girls who yearly break down In schools and col leges Is just here : A vigorous healthy body and brain must have an unlimited tup- ply of pure , rich blood , fully capable of building up growing tissues and repairing the waste of hard worked nerves and bulu and body. That Is Just what Palne's celery compound Is providing today for overworked , anxious "run down" people all over the United States and Canada. If care bo taken that no part of the body be poorly nourished , a great deal of hard work and study can bo safely gone through. But when young girls are seen to grow thin , pale , spiritless , and nervous , there Is plainly starvation of some of the Important organs and a craving of the blood and nerves for better nutrition. Paino's celery compound was first pre pared by Prof. Hdvvard E. Phelps M. D. , LL. D. , of Dartmouth college , with the fullest knowledge of any medical man of his day of what tired , weak , nervous worn1 ! ] need to make them well and strong.

Paino's celery compound cures dyspepsia , sick headaches , neuralgia , rheumatism , ttnd every symptom of Impure blood , and perma nently cures the most difficult diseases of the liver , kidneys and heart. Thousands and thousands of men and women who have taken Palne'b celery com pound are today perfectly well and happy. Steam and Hot Water Heating for Residences and Buildings. J. C.
