IOUII'N Soliool for ( lie I > onf
IiKTfiiHril Appropriation.
Hon. John Ileatty of Nevada. la. , arrived
In the city last night and went to the Iowa
School fdr the Deaf , of which he U chairman
of the board of trustees. Mr. Beatty's
piescnco In the city nt this tlmo has some
significance In view of the fact that the
visiting committee of the state legislature
will arrive In the city today for the purpose
of vlaltlnc the school and examining Into
Its present condition and urgent needs. Mr.
Biatty will use his bctt efforts to bee that
the committee Is duly Impressed with the
wants ot the Institution.
All of th'c. Institutions of the state have
stated sums set aside for their operation and
maintenance and' In addition to this sum an
appropriation Is made at each session of the
legislature for the Improvements and special
n\ork needed ai tie Institutions for the
period of two years. There Is always n big
demand from thcsp Institutions for a share
of the appropriation , and this year there Is
no exception to the rule. Heretofore the
School for the Deaf has fared rather poorly
In the distribution of the special appropria
tion. Legislators liavo learned by experi
ence , especially during the last few years ,
that the school has been kept up whether
special appropriations Tiave been made or
not and they have naturally dropped Into
the habit of giving tlio bulk of the appropri
ations to the Institutions that have been
more persistent In their demands for help.
This year the School for the Deaf has
asked for an appropriation of $18,000 for
improvements , and the superintendent and
the board of trustees arc united and em
phatic In the statement that every dollar of
that sum Is absolutely needed for the proper
equipment of the big school for tlio state's
unfortunate children. They assert that the
chcol has worried along with present Inad
equate facilities In many departments , until
now It Is Imperative that the desired Im
provements bo made.
In the first place $15,000 Is asked by the
board for the. erection of a new holler and
engine house , the purchase of an additional
engine and a dynamo. Several years ago the
cnglno house wan destroyed by fire. U was
partially rebuilt , but It now stands abutting
the wall of the main building. An explosion
of a boiler would wreck the main bulldlmg
and would occasion great loss of life. The
matter has gone along , but now the require
ments of the Institution demand an addi
tional equipment of the engine room , and the
officials ot the Institution feel that a new
bo'ler house and engine plant are a necessity.
The appropriation asked for Includes $9,000
for the purchase of additional land. The
Ins'tltuto consumes from sixty to seventy gallons
lens of milk each day , and this supply Is
drawn from the dairy herd that is the prop
erty of the state , and Includes fifty-two
thoroughbred Holstcln cows. All of the
present unused part ot the state grounds Is
needed for hay land for this herd , and the
necessity for pasture lands has been mot
Tor several years by renting. There are
ninety acres adjoining the Institute grounds
that can be purchased for $1,000 an acre , and
the ofllclals feel that It would bo economy on
the part of the state to make the purchase-
at this time.
The present reservoir for the water sup
ply Is Inadequate for the purposes of the
institution , and a part of the appropriation
Is asked for the purpose of building an ad
ditional reservoir. Then the buildings are
crowded , and state aid Is wanted to make
necessary changes for the comfort and con
venience of the pupils.

The Jcklng remark of the workmen ex'avat-
1ns In the basement of the First National
bank building for the purpose of laying a
tower gave the quid nuucs a little chase
yesterday. The report v.as current on
the streets that $1,000 of the mlK > -
Jng $12.000 which disappeared from
the vault of the bank last April
had bean found by the bank ofllcers secreted
In a corner of the vault. Inquiries at the
bank elicited the fact that the dory was
without foundation and caused considerable
turprUo , and also conjectures as to the origin
of the report. A llttlo Investigation finally
traced It to the remarks of one of the work
men on the sewer King. The wwer pa * d
through the wall adjoining the foundations
of the bank vault , and the clinking and
pounding attracted the attention of the bank
clerks , and one of them went down Into
the basement to K'O what they were doing.
"We're going through your bank vault"replled
one of the men , "and we've found a third
of your missing money where It had soaked
through the vault. " The workmen regarded
the Joke as a good one and repeated It
In the barber shop for which the work was
being done , and from there U spread like
thewnallpox. . There was ten feet of eolld
nmsonary and a foot of steel and Iron be
tween the tewer gang and the bottom of
the vault , which would make a leak In that

Ever olnco the Dlckerson trial commencJd
the bailiff In Judge Smith's court has put
In a part ot his time developing his lung
power In calling for A. M , Duval , and the
arpe.irunco of that Individual has been anx-
Icisly looked for by Mr. Bruce. Well , yes-
tciday Mr. Duvat arrived and when he left
the stand lust night and started back to
Atlantic no one In the- court felt more
relieved lhan did Mr. Bruce.
Editor Chase ot the Atlantic Democrat
was the first witness called In the case yes
terday morning. Ho was asked something
abr.ut the publication of the- notice ot disso
lution of the Cass County bank In his paper.
An objection was made to the question and
sustained and Mr. Chase returned home.
Expert Martin was called to the stand
again and the state asked him for an ex
planation of the apparent discrepancies be
tween his statements as to the Indebtedness
of Yctzer. Mr. Martin explained that the
Ir.tc-rest on Yetzcr's Indebtedness. If figured
to date , would make his Indebtedness some
thing moro than $100,000. The Hlghtman
notes , ho said , wore charged 'to ' Yetzer's ac-
ccunt because Yctzer had guaranteed their
payment and the Interest had been charged
to htm.
Mr. Martin teitlfled that the trial balance
of the ledgers of the bank showed n true
statement of the bank's liabilities , but did
not show a true statement ot the bank's
resources. Ho pointed out that $33,000 of
certificates of deposit did not appear on the
tyooks of the bank. There wore also bills"
payable to the amount of $61,500 that did not
appear on iho books of the bank.
The expert also testified that the bank was
Insolvent If Its responsibility on account of
Its capital stock was not taken Into consider
ation.
On cross-examination Mr. Martin admitted
that the books of. the bank showed the bank
ID bo solvent.
A. M. Duvul , a grain dealer , auctioneer's
clerk and all-round hustler , with headquar
ters In Atlantic , was put on the stand as an
expert on valuations. He went over all the
Us' of real estate with its Improvements and
gave his estimate of the value of the prop
erty. Then , he took up the notes of the
bank , a big pile of them , and sorted them
out. Some , he said , were good , some debts
of honor , some worth BO cents on the dollar
lar and some absolutely valueless.
Mr. Organ had a lot of fun with Mr. Duval
on cross-examination. The expert knew be-
cai'Eo he knew , and that's all there was to
It. When ho said , for Instance , that the
Bostedo building was worth $12,000 , he
meant that It was worth $12,000. He said
he didn't know what the building cost. Ho
did not know t'.iat It rented for $2,000 a
year and did not care If It did. Ho knew
It was a three-story brick bullJing. fifty feet
wide nnd 150 feet long , with plate glass along
thp front and on fifty feet nr
moro of ono side. Ho knew that
It , was the best finished buildIng -
Ing Inside that there was In Atlantic , had
steam heat and electric lights , had a fire
proof vault and was always rented and the
offices generally filled with good 'tenants. '
These facts had not entered Into his com
putation as to the value of the building.
Ho knew what it was worth and It was
worth $12,000.
"You know everything1 , don't you , " asked
Mr. Organ.
"No , sir , I don't , " replied the witness.
"If I did I'd be a lawyer. "
Mr. Duval was led all over the- , property
by Mr. Organ. Ho had never examined any
of the buildings very closely. He knew them.
He did not know what their rental value was
and did not care to know. He knew what
the buildings were worth and was not In
fluenced In his estimates by such Items as
the cost of the buildings or what rent they
might be drawing.
The fun got furious when Mr. Duval came
to give his expert opinion on the value of
the notes held by the bank at the itlme of
the failure. He knew all about everybody's
business and would Just as eoon tell it as
not. The Income and financial standing of
men In Cass county was an open book to
him. Ho picked out a note for $12 against
an old soldier and declared that that was n
debt of honor and that the old hero would
pay It some tlmo If propjrly approached.
Then , after some expert opinion had been
given about some other paper , Mr. Organ
Innocently handed up the old soldier note
again and asked Duval what it was worth.
"That man's a dead boat , " replied Mr.
Duval with plenty of emphasis. "Ho can't
pay that unto and wouldn't pay It If ho
could. " Another man was set down as a
dcadbcat because he had once owed Duval
a meat bill that ho had to trade out for Ice ;
couldn't collect a cent of It In money. In
that way Mr. Duval went through ithe list.
Mr. Organ was In good humor and allowed
the witness plenty of rope and Duval did the
rest.
rest.Duval was the last witness for the state.
The defense will commence the Introduction
of testimony today and wilt use about four
days In the presentation of Its case.

Two hours spent In wrangling over the
matter In Justice Vlen's court yesterday
morning only resulted In the last batch of
the arrested Manawa fishermen scattering
their cases and getting continuances. John
Coylo , who Is in I el to bo the chief offender
against Iowa's worthless flsh protective laws ,
took a change of venue , or "revenue , " as one
of the court loungers put It , to Justice
Walker .and demanded a Jury trial. All of
tbo remainder of the day In the latter court
was consumed In an effort to secure the
Jury , There was some criticism of the Jury
that acquitted the last batch In this court ,
and the state objected to Constable Jack-
ton summoning' the eighteen talesmen from
whom the elx members of tlio Jury were to be
chosen. Tbo court then appointed Constable
Baker , but the- defense objected to him
upon the plea that ho would find men prej
udiced to the prisoner. Constable Albert !
wao finally agreed upon and the case ad
journed until 4 o'clock. That officer , however ,
could not bo found and at 5 o'clock the
case was continued until this morning.
It Is &ald to bo the Intention ot the of II cor 3
to summon eighteen of the moat prominent
citizens In the city and have a jury above
suspicion. The state Is raid to have plenty
ot witnesses with abundance of evidence ,
and If this latter program can be carried out
gome results may bo anticipated.

While the banquc-t was being served the
Council Bluffs Mandolin club , located In the
hall , furnished excellent music.
E. H. Odell was master of ceremonies , and
after the cigars had been passed he arose and
told the object of the gathering , which waste
to discuss In a frank manner the mutual In
terests of the two cities , and especially to
Unite Council Bluffs and western Iowa in the
great work Omaha had undertaken In secur
ing the Transmlssleslppl exposition In 1S9S.
As a member ct the association ho wanted
to assure the members of the Commercial
club of Omaha and the other Nebraska gon-
tlcmcn present that the association and the
business people of Council Bluffs felt the
community of Interests and were ready to do
all within their power to advance the Inter
ests of Omaha and the west by furthering
In every way the big enterprise Omaha had
undertaken.
Major J. H. Cleaver extended the freedom
of the city to the Omaha men and wel
comed them , while pledging them all the aid
the city could give to the great work In
hand.
Z. T. Lindsay of Omaha was called out
ns the hard worker and practical organizer of
the enterprise , and spoke for a few mo
ments , modestly repelling the shower of com
pliments that Speaker Odell had rained upon
him.
him.G. . W. Wattles , president ot the Omaha
oiganlzatlon , gave In detail the origin and
progress of the work that Omaha had under
taken. Ho traced back the community of In
terest that created the great expositions of
the world to the old Greeks holding their
Olympian games. This exposition Idea had
expanded In after centuries Into that great
est of all Industrial gatherings , the Chicago
exposition of 1893. That exposition gave the
world Its first genuine Idea of the- real
greatness of the American republic. The
Atlanta exposition had done for the south
what the Chicago event had done for the na
tion. It had gone farther In de
veloping the Interests of the south
than all clso since the war. The
Transmlsslsslppl exposition will do moro
than all else'at our command to Increase our
wealth and Influence. Ho gave In detail a
statement of the origin of the Omaha Idea ,
and told all that had been done. Omaha ,
he said , was pledged to her part In a finan
cial way by raising $100,000 , and If that was
not enough she would raise $200,000. He
spoke of the great benefit It would bo to this
locality to hold the exposition In the center
of population represented by the two cities.
The territory that will be represented Is of
greater area than France , Germany and
Great tirltaln. It has greater resources than
those countries. Wo might get along with
out the manufactures of the New England
states , but the New England states cannot
get along without our corn , our breadstufls
and our pork , and nothing would tend to
bring together such forces for our advance
ment east , west and south , as a great expo
sition of this kind. The eastern citizen will
not take the time to get out and see us and
go over the vast territory that we represent ,
but he" will come when we gather all of our
products Into one grand exposition. Both
cities will reap alike the Inestimable bene
fits that will accrue to us. He believed that
within a radius of ten miles , from the spot
upon which he was standing , twenty-five-
years would see one of the greatest metro
politan centers In the republic. A little river
cannot divide these two towns. The people
of Utah have assured us that they will not
hesitate to pass any laws necessary for us ,
and we want the assistance of tbe Iowa leg
islature , and we must reach It through the
people of Council Bluffs.
Hon. John Y. Stone declared that there
was no citizen of Iowa or Nebraska more
heartily In sympathy with the great project
under discussion than he. No enterprise Is
more important. Here Is what may be called
the central belt. No city In the belt is so
favoiably situated as Omaha. There will be
found no hand In Iowa raised to retard the
enterprise. There Is every reason why these
two great states should unite In this crand
work. Our Interests are the same. Thera
can bo no favorable legislation In Nebraska
that will not favorably affect Iowa , and
anything that will help Iowa will bear fa
vorably upon Nebraska. Wherever the state
of Nebraska has a friend there Iowa has a
friend also. Tell the world that on the west
ern side of the Mississippi a great exposi
tion Is building up. 'We extend you our
hands , gentlemen , and tell you that what
ever you and the people of Nebraska are In
terested In we are also.
J. A. Wakeficld , Dan A. Farrell , G. H.
Payne and other Omaha men spoke. Colonel
J. J. Steadman , Hon. H. W. Rothert , Hon.
J. W. Beatty of Story county , and other
Iowa men responded to calls In speeches that
Indicated that the subject had awakened a
ileep Interest for them. The banquet did not
terminate until nearly midnight , and when
the gentlemen were ready1 to retire they felt
that the meeting had been In every way a
most pronounced success.
The following resolution Introduced by Col
onel D. B. Dally , was adopted :
Resloved , That It Is the sense nnd feeling
of the Merchants' and Manufacturers' asso
ciation of Council lllufYs nnd Omaha that
the United States government recognize
nnd extend belligerent rights to the strug
gling Insurgents of Cuba.
Mr. E. F , Clark presented tbo following
proposition :
In order to further the enterprise of a.
TransmlsslRsippl exposition I propose to
build a Trnnsmlsfourl bicycle path upon
ivhlch the trarlsrocky mountain boy nnd the

Charles AHmannspcrgcr , the recroan
general manager of the Slefert & Wclso
Lumber company's branch at Mlndcn
whose extensive forgeries liavo stirred up
the farming community In half of Pot
tawattamlo county , was arralsned for a
preliminary examination at Avoca yester
day morning. The Information upon which
ho was arrested contained two counts , each
alleging forgery and embezzlement to the
amount of $5,000. Ho telegraphed yester
day morning to an attorney In Councl
Uluffs to go out and defend him. A quick
Inquiry Into the facts alleged and the
statement * ! made by AltmannEpcrgcr In
hlu own defense led the attorney to advise
his client to waive a preliminary hear
ing. Ths ! was done , and the court flxoi
the bond at $10,000.
Altmamisperger was very popular li
Avoca and had many wealthy friends
there , but none of them were willing to
go upon his big bond , and after wander
ing around In charge of the sheriff untl
after 4 o'clock he gave up the nttemp
to get ball and went Into confinement
temporarily In the Avoca Jail , with the
probability that he would bo brought to
the county Jail In this city.

In The Dee's reports yesterday morning
Fifteen thousand dollars Is now the figure
required to cover the sums that the lum

through his dishonest dealings. Altmann-
sperger was also treasurer of the Mlnden

ho was short $2,915. Henry Welse , the

Mr. Welse says It will require severa
days , and perhaps much longer , before
the full amount of the losses can be dis
covered. The heaviest loss will fall upon
the lumber company , but many of the
farmers will also suffer , for he has ob
tained their genuine signatures to papers
that he afterward skillfully transformed
Into promissory notes. Thts notes he

the comforts that money could buy. He
also traveled In a fast cla s of bloods
whenever he went away fro'm. ' iiomo. One
of his expensive fancies yjci a dog palace
which he erected on his 'premises. It' Ms
said to be good enough for a governor's
mansion. For the last three 'years he has
had this ' 'palace ' Inhabitedby''an ' average
cf forty dogs. These dogs were blue
blooded fellows , and like Altmannsperger
himself , nothing was too good for them ,
For three' ' years past he has kept a special
cook to prepare the dally menu for them.
He loved fast horses , too , and had a
stable that was conducted on a scale cor
responding to the magnificence of his dog
kennels. It was generally known that his
salary as mana'ger of the country lumber
yard was ridiculously Inadequate to his
personal expenses , and ho posed as a bril
liant and successful operator on stock and
mining exchanges. His Intimate friends
and the members of the lumber company ,
however , deny this and say that he never
speculated. They now are" compelled to
admit that all the money be so lavishly
wasted came from his sales and ccllect'ons
for the lumber company and embezzlement
of the school funds. Ho was well known
In Council Bluffs. Whenever he visited the
city he lost none of the enjoyments that
high living can give and his dinners at
come of the high priced restaurants often
required a $10 b'll in payment.

ffchUm In the order In ! 1875 and one fac
tion withdrew and Incorporated under the
name1 of the old order , The/ old faction was
not Incorporated , Doth grew In membership
and strength and both oiifii'ged In the In

ceding faction brought & 'cult ' In Dubuque
county against the loyal faction to enjoin It
From using tbe name and 1 4 ( prevent It from
: iigaglng In the Insurance business , The
lUtrlct court sustained ttio petition and
granted an Injunction on the ground that
the older body had not Incorporated and had
no right to the use of the name which It had
out when the teceJcrs Incorporated under It.
rho loyal division appealed and the supreme
: ourt reversed the ruling. It holds that In-
icmucli as the older division of the order
dad used the name first Its right to It Is
iuch that a new organization cannot now
; lalm an exclusive right to It merely by
eaeon of being Incorporated under It , The
loclslon gives both divisions the right to

The reports of this olllce heretofore , being llt
