Will AMU fur Some Riullcnl ou for Protection ot Gitiiie. Iff The recent arrests ot fishermen caught coining through the Ice In Lake Manawa has attracted attention nil over the elate and has been ono ot the things that has hastened pq'tsmcn to appeal to the legislature for additional protection to fish and game In the state. Lakes and streams have been stocked by state and national fish commissioners time and again with valuable fish and the jirofcmloiml fishermen have followed within a year or two with drag nets and caught the entire plant with religious regularity. The condition that has prevailed at Manawa Is about the same at other lakes , and the work of the fluh commissioner * baa been rendered useless. The present laws are not stringent enough. The law against coining In Inland Ukeu and rivers Is especially lame , because It falls to provide an adequate penalty for Us violation. A state organization at Des Molnes has taken the matter up and on Sat urday Issued the following open Utter to the sportsmen of Iowa : It In thought that our Iowa fish com- rnlrsloner should be put upon a better foot- Ink' , both nu to means to propagate and dis tribute llflica to stock Iowa waters and to allow him to employ a force sulllclent to preserve tlio young fishes from the wanton destruction now to prevalent In till the utute. It la also HUguettted that the duties of tha lUh commissioner be enlarged to Include those of game warden , The legislature will doubtlca give duo l\enl to tlie wlfhra of their Constituents.

ISAAC DICKERSON'S ' DEFENSE Story Outlined by the Attorney Being Berne Oat by the Evidence. STATE'S ' TESTIMONY AIDS THE DEFENDANT \VltiioHNcn Cnlli-il for tlio I'ro.iocntlon Corroliornle the Clnlmn of IIic OliI Sinn Ilia Siul i\iirrlcncc People of Council niuffs have become- con siderably Interested In the Irial of Isaac Dick- erson , whltli Is In progress In the district court before Judge Smith and a Jury. The progress of the trial Is developing n sltua- llon so entirely different from the charges that have been made and published herelo- fore that Interest In Ihe case has been re newed and the progress of the Irlal closely watched. When Iho Cass County bank failed a couple of years ago Iho'newFpapers were flooded with accounts of the manner In w'iilch the patrons of the Institution had bean robbed. A. W. Dlckerson , the cashier , pleaded guilty to the charge of fraudulent banking nnd was sentenced to the pe-nllcnllary , where ho Is now serving his lerm. Ssnllmenl In At lantic was against the Dlckersons , and Isaac Dlckerson , the father of A. W. Dlckerson , came In for more than his share of execra tion. Ho had largo property Interests and was known lo be n shrewd business man nnd financier. The Inflamed state of tiie public mind easily connected him with the wrecking of the bank. Ho was pointed oul as the man who had wrought the ruin of the establishment , and men who had lost by the failure ot the bank walked up and down the elrcels of Atlantic and openly advocated resort to lynch law. Officers of the bank , who were clost-ly connected with A. W. Dlck- crscn , sought to Implicate Isaac Dlckerson In the transactions lhat led to the failure ot the concern and a great deal of scntlmenl was worked up against him. This was the stale of affairs when the grand jury returned Indictments against Isaac Dlckerson , charg ing him with fraudulent banking In receiv ing deposits In the bank when It was known to be In nn Insolvent condition. He was accused of having deeded his largs property Interests to his relatives and was alleged to Yiavo a large amount of money concealed or secured from the creditors of the bank. Mr. Dlckerson was tried on the Indictment In Glcnwood last spring and was acquitted. Then Ihe case , which had been Iransferred to Pottawatlnmle county , was urged for trial In splto of th ? acquittal at Glcnwood on a similar charge , a count. In fact , of Ihe Kimo Indictment. Newspaper reports from Glenwood and Atlantic naturally reflected public sentiment and those casually Inter ested In the cas ? In this county were led to expect that the man on Irlal was a man of wealth and Influence who was trying to bent his creditors and Ihe creditors of the bank In which he was a director and held a minor official position. The Be ? last week made the first statement of the de fense of Mr. Dickers n In detail , nnd since that time other papers In th ? state * have taken up his side of the story and Iho pro gress of Iho Irl-al has developed just the stale of affairs that Mr. Dlckerson In his statement alleged tci exist. Instead of being a man of wealth , Mr. Dlckorsoa Is today almost a pauper. His large property In- tsrcsls , nnd even his homestead at Atlinllc , have gone to the creditors ot Ihe bank and to secure other creditors with whom ho had dealings at the lime , and today he is with out resaurces and does not know how he will earn n living for hlmslf and his aged nnd Invalid wife. Even his life Insurance , on which ho has paid premiums for thirty years , has boon surrendered to secure funds to meet the exp2nses of the present trial , and ho Is today 65 years of age , without a home and almost without friends In the cunty In which he lived for forly years and held poslllons of prominence and re sponsibility. The case has be n on trial for a week , and the evidence ! of the stale has not been at all damaging to the defendant. The stats has proved that Isaac Dlckerson was a stock holder and officer of the bank , but every witness for the state , on cross-examination , has testified that Mr. Dlckerson had no part In the active management of the affairs of the bank , was seldom In the Institution , never examined Its books , and that he was absent from Atlantic most of the time for two years prior to the closing up of the bank. It also develops lhat when he came homo on the day before the bank failure and ascertained the .condition of the Instllutlon , ho took the first et ° ps toward having the affairs of the bank placed In the hands of a receiver. All of this evidence was Introduced In the Irlal of the case at Glenwocd , where Mr. Dlckerson was acquitted , and no new evldenco has yet been offered In the case here. Friends of Mr. Dlckerson allege that Ibe feeling In Cars counly against all the people connected wllh Ihe bank has been worked by Inlerested parties , nnd that the County Board of Supervisors has been In duced to make appropriations for special counsel In the prosecution of Ihe cases. They assert that there Is no question of Mr. Dlck- orron's Innocence , but they do not expect the prosecutions to cease as long as Ihe Cass county board will supply funds for high priced counsel to continue ! It. Mr. A. W. Dlckerson , former cashier of the bank , has been brought from the penitentiary to testify In his father's behalf. There la a lot of Inside history In the failure ct the. Casj County bank , and If A. W. Dlckerson decides to tell It on the witness stand there , will ba another sensation , quite equal to that which was created by the failure of the bank. . TO DISPOSE OP ISIIIAST CIIEEIC. City Council HIIN n IMiui to Get Illil > f tllUlllHIIIICl' . The city council will have presented to It Ihls evening a proposlllon lhat is of material Interest to every properly owner In Iho city. For years the question of making some per manent Improvements that would result In solving for all time 'Ihe vexallous problem presenled by .Indian creJk has been discussed , The conclusion arrived at always was that the only way to accomplish the desired end was to transform the cree > k from an open ditch Into a closed sewer of sufficient proportions tions to carry the floods of water tliat often come tearing down. Various city engineers have figured upon Iho cost of this work , nnd Iho lowesl estimate , that placed recenlly by Clly Engineer Elnyre , la $30 $ per lineal foot. This contemplates a brick sewer with a clear arcaway of ten feel , The cost on Ihla estl- male would bo somewhere In Ihe vlclnlly of a quarter of n million dollars , a sum too great lo be borne by the city or the prop erty 'owners. There has been a dream always Indulged In Hut some railway company seeking a newer or a belter enlranco Inlo Council Bluffs cculd ba Induced lo lake the creek bed as a right of way , sewer It and build Its tracks on Its surface. "Such a line would have saved the Rock Island or the Milwaukee the construc tion and maintenance of nearly seven miles of track and brought their roads right through the lieart of the city. The matter waa not called to the attention cf theae com panies until they had built their devious lines through the winding Mosquito creek valley , and then the engineers expressed their re grets that they had not been given the chance , to consider the proposition , which they be lieved would have been favorably received by the directors. Sines then Council 1luffs has been hoping that come new road would seek an entrance Into the city , and It would bo meC at the oulsel with a propoaillon lo take Indian creek off the city's hands with Its right ot way gratis. Tiie agitation of the subject of the Illinois Central building n southwestern Iowa branch reaching Council Bluffa and Omalia has revived this hope. Tonight the council will have submitted to It the first tangible proposition looking toward the accomplishment of the long desired end. The Iowa Improvement company , which Is arother name for John W. Paul , will auk for the enactment of an ordinance embodying sbout all the desired conditions. The ques tion that the council will have to consider Is how far John W. Paul Is speaking for himself - self ana how far for the Illinois Central , which he l luppoied to represent. Toe ordinance that will bo presented tonight Is one that Mr. Paul has prepared , and while It Is not understood that he has declared that the Illinois Central Is back of the Iowa Im provement company's scheme , yet he has per- milled that Impression to prevail. The coiTcllmen are all favorably Inclined to the fewer scheme , and If Mr. Paul can con vince them thai he represents responsible parlies Ihe ordinance Is likely to be passed , but wllh considerable modification. The clly's tlllo lo Indian creek Is vague and very Indeflnllc. As a measure of self- prolccllon nil of Ihe property owners along the creek have deeded the creek bed to the city , but none of these deeds specify In feet nnd Inches nny definite sized right ot way. By common consent the city has como to as sume that It owns a strip twenly feet wide In the bed of the creek , but the deeds might bo made to Include all the space between the points where banks begin to break , and the right of way would then be nbout seventy feet wide. In any event a decision of the court would have to determine this point If the city give the railroad company n track twenty feet wide the properly owners would perhaps not object , but If It was made to Include all within the banks there would be some hot fights. If the twenty feet was not wide enough the railway company would have to condemn adjacent property and this cost added to the construction ot the sewer would make the clly's gift an expensive one lo Iho company. From First s'trcet eastward the creek runs through what was once Green Direct , seventy feet wide , nnd west from Seventh street to the Northweslorn tracks U runs through a slxlecn-fool nlley. A rail rend running through the heart of the city would be desirable In some respccls and ob- Jccllonable In olhcrs. People who have built fine homes near the proposed line would object , but a large amount of what Is now cheap and undesirable residence prop erty would bo transformed Into valuable business properly. The following Is Mie ordinance of the Iowa Improvement company : An ordinance Krnntlng the right of way over nnd along Indian creek to the lown Conslrueljeci company. Section 1. Be It ordained by Ihe clly council of the city of Council Bluffs , la. , Hint the right of way over and along In dian creek , from Eleventh street east to Babbitt Place , be nnd Is hereby given nnd granted to the Iowa Construction com pany , Us successors or nsslgns , to con struct , opsrntc , tiso and maintain n Finnic or double track railway , with all necessary switches , croFs-ovcrs , turn-out ? nnd sta tions.

IIEARTJISEASE , 3OME FACTS REGARDING THE RAPID INCREASE OF HEART TROUBLES. Ilo Not He AlnrmiMl , lint I.oolc for tlic CIIIINO. Heart troubles , at least among Americans , are certainly Increasing nnd while this may be largely due to the worry and excitement of American business life , It Is more often the result of weak stomachs , of poor diges tion. tion.Real Real , organic hearl disease Is Incurable , but not one case In a hunJrcd of heart trouble Is organic. The close relation between heart trouble and poor digestion Is because both organs arc controlled by branches of the same great nerves , the Sympathetic and Pneumognstrlc. In another way , also , the heart If affected by that form of poor digestion which causes gas and fermentation from half digested toed ; there Is a feeling of oppression and heaviness In the cheat caused by pressure ot the distended stomach on the heart an ? lungs. Interfering wllh their action ; hencv arl&og palpitation and short breath. Poor digestion also 'poisons the blood , makes It thin and watery , which Irrltales and weakens the heart. The most sensible treatment for heart troubles Is to Improve the dlgesllon nnd to Insure the prompt assimilation of food. This can best be done by the regular use , after meals , of some safe , pleasant nnd ef fective digestive preparation , like Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets , which may be found at most drug stores nnd which contnln vnl- uable , harmless digestive elements , In n pleasant , convenient form. It Is safe to cay that the regular , per sistent use of Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets at meal time will cure any form of otomach trouble except cancer of the stomnch.
