PROGRESS OF THE DICKERSON CAS .Stnte'x AVIdim * Fnll In nn P.fTor to Connect IKIIIIO DleUcrmm llH tliu Affair * of the De funct Atlantic lliiiik. The state put two witnesses on the slam In the Dlckcrson case yesterday to show tha Isaac Dlckerson had told them that the Cas County batik was In bad shape , and Haul to fall. Then both of the witnesses bccam more or less rattled and finally flatly con tradlctcd each other on the enontlal points o their evidence , and left the state In won shape than If they had not been called. Mrs. Wilburn , wife of a farmer living eas of Atlantic , wa the first witness called. Sh ttctlflpd that she went to the office of Isaa Dlckerson on October 30 , 1803 , with he husband , to make a rotllcment on a note There was n little balance , about $40 , com Ing to her husband , and she heard Isaa Dlckerson tell his son not to wrllo a chec for the amount on the Cass County bank , a the bank was not In condition to do business She swore positively that Henry Dlckerso then paid her husband the money , and tha she eaw him count It out , part of It In cur rercy and part In silver. On cross-exam ! nation Mrs. Wilburn lest all track of he tljrect testimony and succeeded In impcachln herself. Uyron D. Forshay of Anita , la. , was as slstant cashier of the Dank ot Atlantic In 1S93. Ho testified that It was customary t take the checks got each day from otlie banks and exchange them for checks licit against his bank. After June , 1893 , the Cas County bank began making such settlement In cash Instead of by Chicago draft , ao had been the custom. Ho said that when settle incuts were required from the Cass Count } bank there was always n delay In gcttlni the cash. Usually seme officer or employe ot the bank would go out and get the money and come back and make tha settlement Sometimes the delay would amount to a much as two hours. At one tlmo the balance agatnpt the Cass County batik amounted to $1,000 , He saw Isaac Dlckerson In the banl at that time. He had been Instructed by hi bank to always wait , and gjt cither the caol or the checks when making settlements This was the state of affairs during the summer mor and fall ot 1S93. . On cross-examination the witness testlflei that ho la now the partner In the banking business of J. E. Bruce , who Is the prosecutor cuter In this case , but was not allowed t answer the question as to whether his forme employer , Mr. Whitney , was not a bltte enemy ot Mr. Dlckcrson. He admitted tha business was- bad dur'ng 1893 , and that set Dements were hard to make In banks a well as In business , and other concerns. II had no trouble , however , In making settle mcnts with any bink except that of whlcl Mr. Dlckerson was the vice president. Mr Forshay was a witness aylnst Preslden Yetzer , but was not a wltnsss against Isaa Dickerson at the Olenwood trial. HAD DEALINGS WITH DICKERSON. F. R. Wlllmrn , a farmer living llvo mile from Atlantic , was the llrst witness at the afternoon session , called to corroborate the testimony of his wife , who was on the wit ness stand during the forenoon. Mr. Wll burn testified that he had had business rcla tlons wtlh Isaac Llckers.on for a numbsr o years , and up to December , 1894. In the fal of 1893 the witness owed Isaac DIck.ron a considerable sum of money , and Mr. nick erson wanted a E'cttlement , and gave as a reason that the Cass County bank was weal and might have to close Its doors , p.nd tha It was necessary to close up all outstanding business. "Sir. Dlckerson said , " testified Mr Wilburn , "that the bank was liable to fal and that It would save n1e trouble to get the business settled up at once. " That conversa tton took place In August. "I had another dealing .with Mr. Dicker son , " said the witness , "on October 30 , 1893 I had sold some hogs , on which Mr. Dicker- son had a mortgage. I was given a draf for $440 on the Citizens' bank. I wanted $40 of the amount , and asked Mr. Dlckersan to give mo a check for that amount. Henry Dlckerson was going to write me a check for the amount , but Isaac Dlckerson toll Henry not to write the check , as the banl was In bad shape that morning. Later In the day , about 1 o'clock , Isaac Dlckcrson gave mo $40 In cash. " Mr. Wilburn also testified that he had eoine trouble In getting possession of cer tain notes , LiJgnod by him , which had boon put up as collateral at the Cass Count } bank. He had sold the notes to another party , hut when he asked Mr. Dlckerson for the notes he received a reply that the notes could not bo found. On cross-examination Mr. Wilburn tcstl fled that ho was a client of Attorney Drucc who was prosecuting this case , and bad a chattel mortgage on Mine of his property In favor of Mr. Bruce. Mr. Wilburn triei to refresh his memory from some papers he carried In his vest pocket. Mr. McPiier- son , wanted to see the papers and caused Mr. Wilburn a lot of trouble In digging up notes of various descriptions. Mr. Mc- Pherson's expert method of going through the wltnera' pockets would make an average - ago police sergeant green with envy. The result of the search was a collection ol notes , from which Mr. McPherson sought to show the witness and his wlfo had flxec up their dates as to tbo presence' of Isaac Dlckerson In Atlantic during the summer and fall of 1893. It was drawn out that on the trial ot the cai-3 at Glonwood Mr. Wilburn had toi'tlflcd that the hog deal occurred In November , 1893 Instead of on October 30 , as he testified In this case on direct examination. Mr. McPherson charged the witness with having changed the d > ito Ul LUU llllliauui-iuii , unui luauiyiUK ub uivil- wood , because lie had learned that Isaac Dlckerson was not at Atlantic during the month of November. Then the attorney for the defense went after Wilburn to show that In all of his dealings with Isaac Dicker/on he had no mslnosa relations with the Cass County bank. Jy persistent questioning he was finally led .0 admit that all of the flvt > nothcs given to saac and E. J. Dlckerson were made payable to the German Savings bank of Davenport , and that be received notices from time to tlmo from that bank. Ho know that it was the Davenport bank's money ho was getting fiom Isaac Dlckcrson. Ho also testified and 'admitted that to his knowledge neither the Cass County bank nor any of Its ofllccrs. ex cepting Isaac Dlckcrson , ever had anything to do with any of the notes , SOMEWHAT AT SEA. Mr , McPherson tackled the witness as to the amount of money received from Isaac DIckcrEoii as a result of the hog deal. Mr. Wilburn stated that ho received $40.40 from the draft for $440.40 , and the attorney showed that at the Glenwood trial he had testified that he had received Ices than $20. Ho wanted to know how the witness could reconcile the two statements , and Wllhurn replied that he had figured It out while In bed on Monday night. Mr. WllbOrn s\yoro positively that his flUe was not present at Isaac Dlckerson's office when the payment of $40.40 was made to htm by Mr , Henry Dlck ereon. "Your wlfa swore that she was with you in DIckerson's office when you got that money , " said Mr. McPherson , "and that you wore paid part In blllo and part In silver. Is that truer" "No air , that Is not true , " replied the witness. Mrs. Wilburn had testified that the $40 had been paid to her husband by E. J. Dlckcrson. Mr. Wilburn acierted that the money was paid to him by Henry Dlckereon , and during the lengthy and very trying cress- examination tbo evidence of Wilburn and his wlfo wan found to bo conflicting ; on a great many points of more or less Importance , In order to get further points on the dis crepancies In the testimony of Witness Wilburn , the transcript cf hl evidence at the Gtenwood trial was produced , Mr. Mc- Phcr on asked Wilburn tq repeat again the exact language used by Isaac to Henry Dick- erson. on the day ot the hog deal In regard Henry : "Don't write a check on the bank ; Wilburn slid that Isiac Dlckerson sad ! to Heury : "Don't write A check on the bank , It la In bad condition. " Witness was led to repeat that Isaac Dlckerson had told htm that the Cats County bank was In bad condition and was about to fall. Then Mr. McPherson produced Wllburn's evidence on the Glenwood trial In which he gave lease DIckerson's statement to Henry as "Don't draw a check on the bank. Finances arc short. " "Why did you say at Glen wood that the reason the check was not drawn was tint Mr. Dlckerson said to Henry 'finances rre short , " and now como here and say that he said the reason the check should not be drawn wna that the bank was In bad condition nnd about to fall ? " asked Mr. McPherton. "Which statement Is true , and which Is false ? " Mr. McPhcrson has a most persistent man ner about little things like that. Ho wanted all the details , and Instated upon having them. Mr. Wilburn tried to explain matters and made rather a bad mess of It , and finally took a firm stand on the proposition that both statements were trtio in par : find ho refused to divide the parts. Ho admitted hav ing been told by the state's attorney as to what they wanted to prove by him and I o rad not testified to anything further than he had been required to by the direct questions of the attorneys. It was shown that during the trial nt Glenwood the witness had re fused to testify until A'tornoy llruco arrived. Mr. Bruce did not arrive In tlmo , 'but Mr. Youger run onto me , " said the witness , "and froze onto my coat tall all the tlmo I was there. " ' On redirect examination , Mr. Wilburn tes tified that , while his notes were made pnya- ble to the German Savings b.ank at luvcn- port , the chattel mortgages given In security of the notes were always made payable direct to Isaac and E. J , Dlckcrson. Mr. McPherson went at the witness again and asked him If he could read the writing on the documents he had been so glibly tes tifying aBout , Mr. Wilburn admitted that ho could not read writing readily , but could read his wife's writing and that of Jim Bruce , but was "very slow with strange fists. " TESTIMONY OF A DEPOSITOR. O. M. Hesslegravo of Springfield , Mo. , a former resident of Atlantic , testified that Isaac Dlckerson had told him In July , 1894 , that A. W..Dlckcrson nnd he had both been to Davenport to try to borrow money In December. 1893 , nnd had be n unsuccessful. "Mr. Dlckcrson told mo , " said the witness , "thafl his son , A. W. , had come to his house on the morning of December 27. 1S93 , and In a conversation said that he did not know whether he could keep the'doors of the bank open all day or not. " ' On cross-examination Mr. Hesslegravo tes tified that he was one of the depositors who lost by the bank failure , , and was also the man wlio had sworn out the warrant for the arrest of A. W. Dlckerson , the cashier of the bank. These proceedings were had before the conversation with Mr. Isaac Dlck- ere n. On the application of Attorney Scott yes terday afternoon , Judge Smith made an order for the appearance cf O. C. Gaston of Mills county at the trial of this case for the de fense. Mr/ Gaston was the official stenog rapher of the court nt fho trial of Isaac Dlckerson on a charge similar to that now- being tried , and he will be required to bring bin notes of the trial for use lu the present case.

They Fouiul Some Gold , A few weeks ago , when reports of the dts- every of gold bearing sands and dirt were omlng in from all parts of the country here- ofore given up to farming , some highly cot- red stories were brought dowu from the and banka north of town of the discovery of , ch deposits of the yellow ore. Several Council Bluffs gentlemen who have cpent ots of money prospecting for gold and test- ng various new and original devices for utherliig It and getting valuable expert- nee for their chief reward , spout some money and time tip there. ThejM constructed a long line ot tlulco boxes and turned Into It one of the many strongly 'flawing tprlngs that abound In the vicinity1 V ( number ot them worked Industriously itll VAe afternoon shoveling In the sand. GporfjJ T , Phclps Us confident he ehovelcd InU / nty tons of sand himself during the tlinp , Jiut before sundown they shut oft the water and made a cleanup. Thep found sonic ' ( told In each of the riffles. It was In the 'tihitpe of the finest flour gold , nnd after an Infinite nmount ot labor they got all there > a In sight nnd weighed It on n pair of delicate gold balances used by aesayers. It tipped the beam at five- and one-half grains. At this rate a good sized crowd ot strong and healthy laborers could make about 30 cents O'day The reward was so Insignificant In com parison with the expenditure ot labor that the company of gold seekers quietly toro up their sluice boxes and removed all evidences of their work and agreed to say nothing about It. Sand banks that could not bo bought for any price during the gold excitement have now dropped back to their old tlmo values. _ TIIUV DOX'T WAM' TO DIVIDi : . of the I'fiice Olijrct to Slinr- Inpr Tlivlr IVr * . Council Bluffs justices ot the peace were on the war path yesterday over a rcyport that the Board of Supervisors Is going to adopt a new rule relative to the fees nud salaries of the justices of the peace. According to the report supervisors ore considering the advisability of adopting an order requiring all ju.st'ces of the peace to turn over to the county all fees collected lu excess of $100 per month , nnd that Is where the protest comes In on the part of the jutlces. They araert that they are not re ceiving anything like liberal treatment at the hands of the Board of Supervisors. Their coutent'on Is that being county officers they should bo provided with offices , fuel , light and the necessary blanks for the conduct of their business. Instead ot getting this they assert * that they are required to pay their own office rent nnd expenses nnd to purchase all the blanks used by them in all but state cases , and that It would be working a hardship en them to turrt over tho'r fees In cxcei-3 of $100 per month and bo com pelled to ipay their own expenses. An Informal meeting of the justices was held yesterday afternoon for n discussion of the situation and It was practically deter mined to make a test case If the supervisors attempt to collect the excess fees. If the supervisors will allow $300 a year for cx- penica the justices will then be willing to surrender their fees In excess of $1,200 per year , but unless such an allowance Is made the board will bo resisted In the courts. Justice Cook Is In favor , he says , of doing business until his fees amount to $1,200 and then taking a vacation for the- rest ot the year , If the board adopts the proposed order. Ho Is opposed to working for fun. FISIIUHMEX MAKI3 A IIAUU F1C.1IT. They Employ a Lawyer nnil Sucure n. ClimiKe of Veiine. Price Olbson , F. M. Phillips and William Walker , three of the nine fishermen ar rested for seining In Manawa , were before Justice Vlen yesterday afternoon. The ef forts of some of their friends to secure a judicial casement by bribing the young at torney ; conducting the prosecution failed sig nally , and when they were arraigned they were confronted with the fact In addition to the positive evidence that they ) were to be prosecuted most vigorously. Itmll Schurz appeared for the state and made a most creditable showing. Judge Aylesworth was retained by the defense. When the cases were opened Schurz announced that he was ready to begin the examination of witnesses , but the defense stated It had a-demurrer to file. Judge Aylesworth prepared the docu ment with great deliberation and care and submitted It to the court. It was a general demurrer to the Information upon which the arrests were "made , and was , based upon the fact that the Information did not state ex plicitly what section of the fish laws had been violated , chat the violation was that portion which declares that , seines , nets and traps can only bo placed In waters for the purpose of catching fish jby. consent and under the direction of the , slate' ftah com- mltsloner. The Information * did Tiot show this , and consequently was ao lame that the defendants should be discharged. Justice Vlen overruled the demurrer , and the de fense nt once gave 'notice of their desire for a change of venue. ' The change was granted and the case' taken to Justice Walker. The trial has been set or 2 o'clock this after noon. The fishermen will probably nsk for a jury trial. I'EIISOXAI , 1'AIlAGItAPIIS. Taylor Wooloey has gone to Cripple Creek.

HEARTJISEASE , SOME FACTS REGARDING 7 HE RAPID INCREASE OF HEART TROUBLES. Do Not lie Alnrmcil , lint Look for the Cause. Heart troubles , at least among Americans , are certainly Increasing and whllo this may be largely due to the worry and excitement of American business life , It Is more often the result of weak stomachs , ot poor diges tion. tion.Real Real , organic heart disease Is Incurable , but not one case in a hundred of heart trouble IS organic. The close relation between heart trouble and poor digestion Is because both organs are controlled by branches of the same great nerves , the Sympathetic nnd Pneumogastrlc. In nnother way , also , the heart If affected by that form of poor digestion which causes gas and fermentation from halt digested food ; there Is a feeling of oppression and heaviness in the chest caused by pressure of the distended stomach on the heart and lungs , Interfering with their action ; hence arises palpitation and short breath. Poor digestion also poisons the blood , makes It thin and watery , which Irritates and weakens the heart. The mcst sensible treatment for heart troubles Is to Improve the digestion and to Insure the prompt assimilation of food. This can best be done by the * regularuse , after meals , of some safe , pleasant and ef fective digestive preparation , like Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets , which may be found at most drug stores and which contain val uable , harmless digestive elements , In a pleasant , convenient form. It Is safe to sayi that the regular , per sistent use of Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets at meal tlmo will cure any form of Htomach trouble except cancer of the stomach. .Full slzo packages of the Tablets sold by most druggists at CO cents or by mail from Stuart Co. , Marshall , Mich.
