When Harrison Latnam was released from
Jail en a bond of ? S59 Sunday Mrs. Clara
Wyman was considerably exercised In her
mind for fear that LUlinm might go gun
ning for her again. He failed to justify
her expectations , however. Mrs. Wyman
kept out of sight Sunday , and jesterday
morning called at the ofllce of the chief of
police and Becur.ed permission to carry a
revolver. She hal It concealed on her per-
on alt day yesterday , walling for a chance
o USD It. As -farther precaution she
: alled at the office of the county clerk and
led nn Information sharglng Latham with
nsanlty. Latham was brought before the
omnils loners In the afternoon nnd asked
o give his side of the case.
I didn't shoot at her , " said he. "I mot
or late Saturday night coming from the
ousc of ox-Alderman Nlc'iolson with a man
lamed Marlon , who works at the govern-
nent rip-raps. We had been engaged ever
Ince a year ago last February , nnJ , as she
al promised to go walking with me that
Ight , I thought I had the right to say
vhether she should be running around with
thcr fellows qr not 1 told Marlon to get
nit and tald I would take the lady home
larlon wouldn't get out , and the woman
vouldn't go with me , nnd so I pulled a re-
olvcr out of my pccket. I dUn't Intend
o shoot her , but only to scare her. Just
hen my sister grabbed me by the arm
ml I stumbled and fell. My finger must
iavo been on the trigger , for the gun accl-
.entally went off.
"The woman cried out that she was shot ,
.nd I ran up to her to see If she was , but
ouldn't find any traces of It , though I ran
ny fingers through her hair. She said
Don't kill me , ' and I said , 'I don't Intend
' "
o.
Latham further said that he had carried
x revolver with him for about a month , and
an one occasion took It out of his pocket
while at her house and threatened to kill
ilmself , but he never threatened to kill
her. He did the same thing with a dirk
knife once , but she got It away from him
iml threw It Into another room , where he
got It before going home These outbursts ,
he said , were the result of her apparent
uncertainty as to what she ought to do
i\lth his proposals rf marriage. One night
she would bo bubbling over with affection
'or him , and the next thing she would be
old and distant , until he was fairly beside
himself.
Last Friday night they were sitting to-
; ether In her homo when she dropped her
dead lovingly upon his shoulder and said
'Oh , Harrison , how I wish you were In a
! lnanclal condition to support me , then we *
could bo married right away. " And then
larrlson was In the seventh heaven until
Saturday night , when she ran oft with an
other man , and ho shot her. Whole chap
ters of Interesting things like this were
reeled off for the edification of the commis
sioners of Infinity and a fcelcct audience In
the. clerk's office Mrs Wvman was there
nnd did not seem much taken aback , although
cnce or twice , when Latham described their
oscillatory carryings on , she blushed per
ceptibly.
After the evidence of ths young man had
lieen heard the board took an adjournment
until this morning , when several witnesses
i\lll be heard , part of whom are expected to
testify that he Is hopelessly Insane and has
) een so for years , and the rest will say that
ho Is as sane ns anjbody. Latham Is the
son of Edmund Latham , the old man who
appeared as prosecuting witness In the case
of the state against Jesse MacMahon a few
years ago , MncMahon being charged with
swindling him In a real estate deal out of
several thousand dollars.

County Supervisors Looking for Cheaper
\VIIJB of Krnplntr the Poor.
The county board of supervisors Is con
sidering the advisability of making a change
in the present method of attenJIng to the
poor of the county. The number of people -
plo who look to the county for support Is
constantly Increasing , and the expense of
taking care of them Is doing likewise. A
resolution Is now awaiting disposal nt the
hands of the board , reciting these facts , anil
suggesting that money might bo saved by
buying a farm and putting the poor to work
earning their own living , at least In part
Instead of looking to others for the neces
saries and luxuries of life This resolu
tion has been under consideration for sev
eral days , but has not yet been acted upon.
The real estate the resolution Ea > s , woull
require the expenditure of $20,000 , nnd the
buildings and other equipments will take
about the same amount. At the fall elec-
t'on ' , to be held November 5 , the proposition
will bo submitted to the taxpayers of the
county to authcrlze the board to Issue am ]
sell bonds to the amount of $40 000 and tc
levy a 1 mill tax each jear for twenty jcars tt
raise money with which to pay the IntercEl
upon them. These bonds are to come due
one-fourth In sixteen years , and $10,000 mort
every two jears after that until the twen
tlelh jear. The beard Is also to be author
Ized to levy a tax to pay the principal ant
Interest after sixteen years.

Since The Dee called attention to the de
fective mall service , accorded by the Post
olllce department to Omaha nnd Council Hluffs
the movement to have the remedy applied has
been setadlly prosecuted. Most active In the
agitation for better train service has been
the Merchants and Manufacturers association
of Council Hluffs. which , by persistent nppll-
citlon , has succeeded In enllstlm ; the active
co-oreratlon of Senators Gear and Allison of
Iowa In the matter. The discrimination of
the railroads and PoHofllce department against
Omaha and Council Blurts , and , In fact , of
Chicago and Kansis City. Is so marked that
the rostil authorities have been forced to at
tempt to explain the anomalous situation.

! a Sir I have the honor to acknowledge
receipt by reference of your communication
of May 25 , addressed to the honorable post-
naster general , requesting that a fast mall
rain , eastbound , be established over the Chicago
cage , Burlington & Qulncy railroad from
Council muffs , la. , to leave that city not
.iter than 7am
This question has been up two or three
Imes within the past few jears , nnd each
line has been given consideration , but 1111-
ortunately Investigation has shown that the
jcncfit that the public would derive from the
establishment of such n train would be ex
ceedingly slight , so much so as to make It
absolutely impossible for life department to
give It a favorable consideration
Council Hluffs nnd the whole west Is pro
vided with excellent railway postolllce service
The department provides first-class service
on the Chicago , Durllngton & Qulncy rail
road on three trains eastbound. No. 4 leav-
ng Council Bluffs at 10 07 a m , No. S leav-
ng at C p in. , and No 12 at 8 p. m , and
on the Chicago & Northwestern It provides
: wo railway postofllces eastbound , one leav-
ng Council Hluffs on No 8 at 11 40 a m ,
and the other on No C nt 4 53 p. m. On the
Chicago , Hock Island & Pacific It provides
; wo railway postollices eastbound , one leaving
Council Bluffs on No. 4 at 11 30 a. in , and
: he other on No. 2 at 6 GO p in. , and two on
the Chicago , Milwaukee & St. Paul ralroid
one leaving Council Bluffs at 11 32 a. m. , and
the other at 6 25 p. in.
Westbound on all these lines the service
Is equal to the eastbound service.
In view of the excellent service mentioned
above , It must bo evident to those who have
given the matter consideration that there
would be very little mail In Council Bluffs In
time to be dispatched by a train scheduled
to depirt from that city at 7 a in. We can
not discontinue any of the service we have nt
present upon anj of the lines mentioned , be-
ciuse they have proved to be very satisfac
tory , and equally a& useful to the people who
are dependent upon them , nnd consequently
no malls could be centered In sufficient quan
tity upon the train schtduled to leave Council
Bluffs at 7 a. m. to Induce any company to
put on such a train , and the department
could not , even If the casa were a meritori
ous one , offer any Inducement to either of the
four companies named to schedule such a
train. i
Under the present arrangement the morn
ing trains scheduled" ont pf Council Bluffs on
nil lines name ; ! paiirlflfough Iowa In daj-
llfiht and furnish thlf'state with as good a
class of service ns Is provided for any other
section of the country , and really I do not
know why a 7 a. m train is desired In addi
tion to the trains already provided , unless It
Is for the sole accommodation of the morning
newspapers.
There are no trains arriving from the west
over the Union Pacific or the Chicago , Bur
lington & Qulncy In tlmo to connect with the
train scheduled out of Council Bluffs at 7 a
m , and consequently such a train would be
purely local In Its character , and as such
would not bs of very material benefit to the
public department Very respectfully ,
JAMRS E WHITE , Gen'l Supt.
COUNCIL BLUFFS , June 5 Hon John H
Gear , Burling on , la My Dear Sir Yours of
June 3 , enclosing letter from Captain James E
White , superintendent of the railway mall
service , received , and -thank you very much
for your prompt attention to this matter.
Captain White's unwllllngim s to change
the present status was not unexpected I do
not think , however , his reason ? aie gooj , or
that his statement that this city and south
western Iowa has at ire eit an adequate eastbound -
bound morning mall cervico Is correct
The first mails on the Hock Island , North
western and Milwaukee do not leave Council
Bluffy until nearly noon That on the Bur
lington Is the earliest and does not leave until
after 10. On the face of It such mall service
Is Inadequate to the business requirements
of the 200000 people who reside In Omaha ,
South Omaha and Council Bluff' They should
not be rcqulreJ to wait until nea-ly noon be
fore they can get a letter out to the cast.
The present arrangements make It Impossi
ble for them to do any mall or other business
In a single day with points more than a few
mll ° s east of the river. The situation In the
Interior points , such as Glcnwood , lied Oak ,
Neola , Avoca , Atlantic or IJenlson , Is worse.
Under the prepcnt arrangement morning
mail and newspapers from l > s Molnes and
other paints further east reach Missouri Val
ley , only twenty miles from he-e , sooner than
they do from this point Wo respectfully In
sist that this U unju t and absurd , especially
taking Into consideration Hie favors that the
railway mall department under Captain
White's administration has given Chicago In
the way of westbound fast mall trains.
I am compelled to take declled Issue with
Captain White's view that Council Bluffs
and the whole weet Is provided with an ex
cellent mall service Not only Is It Impossible
to send out letters and receive answers the
same day , but the service the other way Is
equally as bad
Under present arrangements tbo three
cities , Council Bluff. ? , Omaha and South
Omaha , are practically shut out from answer
ing letters received from the tributary terrl-
tory tying cast the day they pro r.r ivcJ
These cities combined number a populatl n of
upwards of 200,000 people' , anl the traifie-
tlons In their lei < li p lines of business reach
en aggregate ef J110iJ"On o jer antiilni. N where
hero Is a specimen of the manner In which
they arc "antlsfaetorlly" served by the prcii > -
ent fait m l ! train.
The westbound fait mall reaches K irncy ,
190 mites west of Otnalia. about midnight
The castbound fast mill rtachei Kearney
about U a. m. This gives every town be
tween Premont nnd Koirney an opportunity
to avail Itself of this fast mail.
In Iowa the westbound fa < t mall
reaches Glcnwood and Missouri Valley
about the simo time , arriving at
the Council Bluffs trinsfct depot at
2 30 p. in. and Onutu about 2 45 p , m
The eastbound fast mill- reaches Omnhi at
4 30 p. in , and li > i\es Council Bluffs at n p ,
m. This gives the O.nnha buslnc < s man a
margin of two and one-lnlf hews to cxunlne
and answer his mull from the east. Including
tlmo cf delivery to him and mailing n ( the
postofllce Council Bluffs has the frame mar
gin. Gleiiwood and Mlssouil Valley have
say one hour more
As > ou are an experienced business man
> ou Know that no merchant or mamificturer
of nn > con equence can handle his malls with
any pallsfactlon In such a limited time 1 do
not mention the paclfrs of South Omaha , b-
cause their time Is more cramped than cither
Council Bluffs or Omaha. If the return
letters of the buslnc's men of these cities
miss the ea tbound fist mall they are either
forced to take the slow malls tint evening
and at noon the next day or wait over twenty-
four hours for the next fast mall. Is there
any justice In that7 I fall to see where the
satisfaction and usefulness Is to the1 people
of the three cities
The service ns stited by General Superin
tendent White Is anything but f.itlsfictory ,
when a business man cannot get out of Coun
cil Hluffs going east before late In the fore
noon , when the train ought to leave not later
than 7 30 a m fcr the accommodation of
the people of the three cities.
It Is strange to me tint If Qen ril Superin
tendent White feels that he cannot ghe us a
morning fast malt east that the Idei does not
suggest Itself to him to Induce the railroads to
change the hour of the departure of their
morning trains to 7 30 a in. This will In
volve the Postolllce department In no addi
tional expense , and It will give satisfactory
conveniences to the business men of Council
Bluffs and the two Nebraska cities.
Per his Information I beg leave to say the
whole trouble with these late morning trains
lies in the fact of the arrival of the 0 40 a
m. Burlington train from Denver at Omaha ,
and the 11 a m train on the Union Paclllc
at Council Bluffs The time of these two
trains can be changed so ns to reach Omaha
nnd Council Bluffs not later than 7 a. m ,
without Inconvenience to an > body.
This Is a matter thnt concerns not only
the newspapers , as Captain White seems lo
Imply , but equally the whole business com
munity Senator Allison writes me that he
has also taken up the matter with the post
master general and will continue to call his
attention to It until something Is done. We
certainly desire that the matter be not al
lowed to rest as It does now. The attention
of the Nebraska senators nnd the congres
sional delegation has been called to it , and
> ou can icly upon their co-operation. I re
turn herewith Captain White's letter In order
that the correspondence may be kept Intact
I hope you will call the attention of the post
master general to It
Thanking you for the Interest you have al
ready shown , and assuring > ou of our grati
tude for the efforts you may hcieafter majje
In this matter so vital to us , I am , yours
very truly T C DAWSON ,
