NEWS FROM COUNCIL BLUFFS Trouble Breaks Out Among Stockholders of thn Wiziud Telephone Company , BROWN THINKS HE HAS BEEN WORKED llo Tut lip All tlio Money .So Inr but ] ( ctu m to Contribute More Until the Otlmr Two block- holders ( lot Out Huge hunks of the Wlrard Telephone and General Electric company arc now being wafted heavenward as the result of an ex plosion that took place among the stock holders. Ell Drown , the treasurer of the company. Is on one side , and C. J. Willow , the president , and J. E. DeLee , the secretary , arc on the other. Mention was made yesterday of the theft of a typewriter In Denver , and the subse quent finding of the machine In the posses sion of Willow. A little discrepancy was noticed by Mr. Drown In the stories which Willow told about the manner In which he came Into possession of the machine , and probably did more than anything else tu rcrlpllatc the row , which must have oc- irred sooner or later. Uroun , who Is one of the best known uslncss men of the city , says he h is been olly done up by Willow and DeLec to the mount of $3.COO , or perhaps more. He la lie only man who has put any mono ) Into lit * concern. The Block was divided Into qunl portions , and his was paid for 'n cash Ie held both Willow's and Del.ee's as col- .tcrnl for the purchase prlco , and In addition as guaranteed board bills at the Grand hotel nd Mrs Luko's boarding house In tlio Biithern part of the eltj. guaranteed tailor Ills for DeLee. nnd In short supported them hlle they have been working up bus ness or the new telephone company. Although DeLee and Willow had not put cent Into the concern , that did not hinder hem from gettlnK together yesterday and oldlng a meeting at d parsing laws over irown's head. Drown had previously given TCIII notice that they must buy his stock nd let him gut out , or sell their stock to him nd get out themselves Regardless of this otlco , they passed a law that $5,500 worth f stock should be Issued to each of the three tocUiolders and their Individual notes taken n payment. This scheme would bo very ac- eptablo to them , for both of them were judg ment proof , but Brown had some property nd a judgment for $5,500 would stick. He \as afraid that the other two members of the ompany would pa , s another law directing a ult upon the notes to be commenced , and he onscqucntly kicked out with a violent kick. STARTED THE SUITS. During the day Brown took active measures o bring the business of the company to a tandstlll A suit was commenced In the su perior court for $1,000 claimed to bo duo W. I. Ware as attorney's fees. Ware repre- entcd the company in Its recent effort to ; et a franchise from the city , and It was argely duo to him that the agreement bo ween the company and the city council was eachcJ. A writ of attachment was sued out nd the building and stock of the company n Fourth street was taken charge of by Dep- ty Marshal Anderson. Ell Brown signed Varo's attachment bond. About the same line the Hammer Lumber company sued out writ of attachment In Justice Vlen's court or $100 and the Shnrploss company nnd Shu- art Implement company filed claims for slm- lar amounts. Just before the building was closed up Vlllow and DeLee went In and removed the looks of the company to some hiding place , o that It cannot Iw told just how the affairs land. ' A board bill of $28 at the Grand hotel ind another bill for $18 nt Mrs. Luke's have icen settled by Brown for Willow , but Mrs .like . mourns the untimely departure of an other member of the Wizard gang who : alled upon her a few weeks ago and said 10 had come hero to take the general man- igement of the company's factory. He boarded there n few days upon Willow's promise to see that his bill was paid , and then quietly skipped. E. A. Schulllan. an Jpper Broadway tailor , was looking for De- Lee yesterday , with a bill for a suit of clothes. He found DeLeo and presented his bill. bill."Didn't "Didn't Ell Brown guarantee the payment of that bill ? " was the young man's query. "Yes , " said Schulllan , "but I want to ? et It out of you , so long aa you are wearing the clothes " "Well , then , " replied DeLee , "go get your money from Brown " DeLeo paid his board bill to Mrs Luke , liowever , It should be said to his credit Brown considers him chiefly responsible for Ills being roped Into the eompany. He had known DeLeo for qulto a while , when he was bookkeeper for the Cudahy company In South Omaha , and had supposed he was all right. He thought the telephone business looked Inviting and so sunk his money In It In the hope of getting some of the glit tering rewards- which the suave Mr. Willow held out toward him In the dim , distant future Ed N. Brown stated yesterday that there was nothing to hinder the company from going on with Its work , if Willow nnd DeLec coulj bo gotten rid of. But hU brother had put nil the money Into the concern that he expected to so long as the other fellow : stajed In , and had now gone In to sccurt as much as possible ot what he had put In Ho thought the machinery nnd other stufl In the warehouse was worth nt least $1,500. si'icciAL SAM : or LACKS.

SHE GOT THE BEER AX.Ii HIGH ! Mio AUo Learned a I.CK on In the Mnttor of Helping Oneself. There Is a certain married woman living n the western part ot this great city % vho n the future will be very circumspect In making the acquaintance of any bottle she may meet In the dark This has been brought about not.by a blind belief In any elf-sacrificing creed , but Is the result of a cruel and never to-be-forgotten expsrlence .hat tied the lady In three or four different kinds of hard knots several nights ago. This married woman visited a friend who Ivcs In Kountze Place. She passed a very pleasant evening , and when she determined .0 leave her host she discovered that the hour land of the clock was almost pointing at he misty hour of midnight. A very ur- ; ent Invitation wag extended to her to sta > over night , and she finally accepted. She , vaa shown to a room , and before long she nas asleep. At that indefinite hour of the night when one awakes and wants a thing and want' t so badly that one cannot resist the tempta- on ot arising and getting It , however much will power one may exhibit at other times , he lady awoke. 810 wjnted a drink and ivantcd It pretty bJdly. Tor a long time she lay there , resisting the overpowering ncllnatlon to get up , but all the while the thought of the dellclousness of a glass of .co water would como up , and myriads of the vessels passed before her mind. The merry clink of those Hoatlng pieces of Ice against the sides of the visionary glasses was maddening , and the lady could no longer resist. She knew the house very well , and to without calling any one she went down stairs alone on the hunt for water When she found the cooler , however , she suddenly remembered that the family > vlthwhom she vas stopping was In the habit of keeping sunJry bottles containing beer In an Ici chest on the latticed porch In the rear of the house. It Is very well known that when there Is beer In sight , water doesn't stanl a ghost of a show , and In this Instance this was the case. The lady fished out a bottl ? out of the chest , drank part of the contents and went back to bed greatly refreshed A half hour later the Inmates of the house were aroused by a succession of scream" tha In the minds of the hearers portended dire calamity. Visions of somebody , plorc = d with a thousand wounds and flopping about In an ocean or gore , flashed through the'r mind ? Seme ens suggested a massacre. Finally an Investigating committee was appointed , am the screams were traced to the visitor's room The door "was opened , and there en the be < the lady was seen giving a performance o contortionist tricks that would have won he a fortune in the sawdust ring of a circus meanwhile emitting voluminous vvorwhoop with startling rapidity. "Crazy , " exclaimed one "Poisoned , " re marked another. Several of those presen held the lady down and poured antidote down her throat , while others were sent ou for doctors and to Invade drug stores. Ilu the heroic treatment to which the lady wa subjected finally brought her to her senses She was piled with questions She couldn' explain It Finally she remarked that sh drank from a bottle of beer that she fount In the Ice chest. This remark contalnec the wlutlon of the mystery to her hearers and for a few minutes those about the lady performed marvelous contortion acts all o their own , while the lady looked on In amazement. H has been the habit of the host to keep bottles of beer In the Ice chest during th hot weather for refreshment , and he con tlnued the custom this year. On several oc caslons he has discovered that while he pali for the beer some one elre has been drinking It. He hatched a villainous plot to get even He purchased a generous amount of lpca and plentifully dosed the beer that remained In the chest , and on the very night on whlcl the lady visited the fai-IIy , he went to be ( In joyful anticipation that In the mornln ho would find his back yard strewn with th bodies of the purlolners of his beer. But some times the best of plans do no pan out Just aa expected. YHO ! CHIIIIOC I'orco n Cnine.

KNOXVILLn , Tcnn. , May 22. The startling nnotinceniDnt Is made tiy Colonel Noble mltUson , a Knuxvlllo attorney , who lias had lucli practice before the United States uprenie court , tint/ the decision of the. court n the Income tax tins also killed the Internal evcnue laws. In a carefully prepared pinion Colonel Smlthson saja : "Justice Kullcr , In his opinion , says : 'The onstltutlon divides federal taxation Into two lasses first , direct taxes ; second , Imposts nd excises , ' and that 'direct taxes must be pportloned among the gc\eral Mates In pro- ortlon to tliolr rcurcscntatlon In the house of cprcscntntlvcs. ' Appirently the loslcal re- nit of this opinion Is that all fclcral tu\os xcept duties of Import ( that Is to say , taxes ollccted under the tariff laws ) must be np- wrtloned among the states according to their cprcjont.itlon In the houses of representatives he act of August 27 , IS'M ( the Wilson bill ) cctloti 4S , pro\ides 'tnero shall be lc\Icl and ollectcd on all distilled spirits , etc. , a tax of 1.10 on each proof gallon. ' The statutes of ho United States levy a tax of 0 cents per ound on tobacco , etc. It seems clear th it ccordlng to this opinion of the chief Justice hcso are direct ta\c on peuonal property , nd not being proportioned among the sov- ral states accordlns to representation , they TO unconstitutional and void If this \lou 10 correct the supreme court has not ( inly vlpetl out the Income tax la\\ , but has iir.ictl- ally repealed thn Internal revenue law as It ffects tobacco , vshl Ky , br.indy , etc If this onstructlon of the opinion be correct all dl- ect taxci. including three on real and pcr- renal property , must bo levied on according o representation , to that the rich people of lew York , Massachusetts and othei eastern tries would pay no more tax per capita han the poorer people of the western and ionthcrn states. Of course this la not to le thought of. It would result that practl- ally the revenues to support the government nist be raised by duties on Imports , and In- tead of reducing the tariff It will necessarily ncrease It materially.
