JTho recent test of the electric stree
lights which gave such a satisfactory
showing was somewhat negatived by
Eomo other tests that wcro made since
The first tests were made during the
daytime. The machinery was startet
up and the current turned on for a
whllo for that purpose. The other tests were
made , at night , while the lights were doing
tholr regular duty. Tljo first series of tests
showed all of the lamps to bo receiving a
current above the required voltage of 48 , but
the night tests Indicated that some of the
lamps wore as low as 35 , and but few of them
up to 48. Both series of tests wore made
by Electrician Bradley with the new volt
meter recently purchased by the council for
the purpose. The difference In the voltage ol
the lamps shown by the two tests Is eome-
what explained by the fact that the night
tests were made shortly after the machinery
n was started and before the carbons had
, burned to the proper sized and shaped points
to emit the greatest amount of light and con
sume the full voltage of current. The elec
tric light people call attention to the fact
that the lights are about twlco as brilliant
during the after part of the night as they are
when the current is first turned on.

The family and neighborhood fight in the
western part of the city on Friday night ,
which resulted In the arrest of Myron and
E. E. Clark on half a dozen charges , was
aired In Justice Cook's court yesterday.
Myron and his brother E. B. wcro arrested
upon a series of charges preferred by Wil
liam Busha , which Included malicious mis
chief , assault and battery , assault with Intent
to do great bodily injury and breaking and
entering Into a building. U. E. Clark was
ono of the complainants and lodged a serious
charge against his brother of assault with
a deadly weapon. The defendants were dis
charged upon all of the charges , but Myron
had a pretty serious case worked up against
him. The evidence showed , so far as It was
board , that he bad made a murderous at
tack upon his brother w'th a club and was
.only prevented committing murder by the
timely arrival of some of the other men In
coirl. ) Before very much testimony was
taken Clark's attorney counseled him to
valve examination and let his case go direct
to the grand jury. This was agreed to and
a satisfactory bond -was arranged. The par
ties llvo In the western part of the city and
the trouble all grow cut of a family quar
rel In the Clark household.

DICKERSON JURY DISMISSED
Wore Nine lo Tlirco for Conviction All the
Time.

Objected.
The Dlckcrson Jury has been dismissed
without returning a verdict , and 10 far as
results are concerned the case is just where
It was four wcckd ago today , when It was
called for trial. Cass county Is over $3,000
out of pocket and all of the Issues of .he case
still unsettled.
Contrary to all reports from the Jury room
and all expectations of parties Interested ,
even ttic attorneys for the state , a majority
of the members of the Jury voted In favor
of a verdict of conviction , the ballots taken
yesterday being nine for conviction to three
for acquittal.
The death of the venerable father of John
Alen , one of the Jurors , was the cauce of Ihe
dismissal of the jury lant night. It bcc.ime
evident yesterday morning that the Juty
could not agree and Judge Smith was called
for. Some of the jurors wanted to have the
testimony of Isaac Dickcrson read and the
court made an order requiring the presence
of Court Reporter Brulngton of Atlantic.
Brulngton arrived at noon and most of the
afternoon'was spent In reading the testimony
of Isaac Dlckerson , A. W. Dlckerson , S. N.
Havens and Joseph Holcomb. This was com
pleted at 4 o'clock and the. jury returned to
Its room for further deliberation. Ths mem
bers of the Jury had hardly left the : oem
when Miss Aten , a daughter of one of the
Jurors , appeared at the court room with the
Information that her grandfather had just
died at Hamburg. She wits allowed to con
vey the Information to her father and Jud e
Smith then Informed Mr. Aten that ho would
give him nn opportunity to attend his father's
funeral today.
STATE WAS PARTICULAR.
Attorneys for Mr. Dickcrson at once of
fered to allow the remaining eleven jurymen
to go on with the deliberation and consider
ation of the case and this proposition was
telephoned to Mr. Swan at Atlantic , repre
senting the state. Mr. Swan refused to agree
to the proposition and paid he would rather
have the jury dismissed with a failure to
agree than to allow the case to be decided
by cloven men. On this showing Judge
Smith decided to call In the jury at 8 o'clock
last evening and dismiss the members If
they had not reached a verdict at that hour.
There wcro probably forty spectators pres
ent at 8 o'clock when the jury was called
In and Foieman Ayres repdrted that they
had failed to. agree upon a verdict. Judge
Smith stated that ho had intended to keep
the Jury out longer , but owing to the afflic
tion of Juror Aten and the unwillingness of
the counsel for the state to allow the case
to be decided by eleven men he had decided
to dismiss the Jury nnd make the record
show that they had been unable to agree
upon a verdict. The Jury was accordingly
dismissed.
Then came the surprise when members of
the jury stated that the ballots had stood
nine to three In favor of conviction. Mr.
Dlckerson was much surprised at the stand-
frig of the Jury , and attorneys for the de
fense wcro no more surprised by the show
ing than were those who had represented the
state. It is understood that the first ballot
showed seven for conviction and five for
acquittal , and that every ballot since the
first had been tnlne for conviction and three
for acquittal , and that there has been no
hope of an agreement since the first ballot
taken an Saturday morning.
Most of the Jurors stood the ordeal very
well , and do not look any the worse for
their confinement. Juror Aten expressed his
deep appreciation of the kindness of Judge
Smith In allowing him to go to Hamburg to
attend his father's funeral. His father ,
Alexander Aten , was 85 years of age- and
was one of the pioneers of Fremont county.

AFTER AN ESCAPED PIUSO\EU.
ShcrlfT Siiydor of Nance County Ilniit-
IIIK In Council IllulTN for it Sinn.
Sheriff Jacob Snyder of Fullerton , Nanco
county , Neb. , was In the city yestTday con
ferring with the police and securing their
assistance In tracing a muchly desired pris
oner who broke Jail there some time Sunday
night. The prisoner Is Gus Wlkske , who was
lodged In jail to await trial for a foul assault
upon a 3-year-old feeble-minded girl In Nance
county some time ago. Wlkske was the only
prisoner In the jail at the time , and the
sheriff's deputy neglected to lock him In the
safety cell Sunday night. During the night
ho received some valuable assistance from
the outside. When the sheriff opened the
jail yesterday morning he found it empty
and all of the doors securely locked. A rear
door designed for a fire escape was found ,
however , to have been tampered with. A
key had been used and both insldo and out
side locks turned and rclocked after the es
cape of the prisoner. The sheriff tracked him
to the railroad station and obtained what ho
thought was a good clew that he came east
ward. A man answering his description was
seen aboard a freight train at Columbus yes
terday afternoon , and the snerlff believes
that Wlkske came on to Omaha or Council
Bluff ? . He Inclined to the opinion that the fel
low might bo In Council Bluffs , for the reason
that he was supposed to bo making his way
to New Jersey , where ho formerly lived.
Wlksko Is described as being1 21 years old ,
heavy set , light complexion , smoothly shaved
and hair recently cut and weight about 175
or ISO pounds.
Sheriff Bnydor left home hurriedly yester
day morning. When he reached hero and
found no clew to his man he felt some satis
faction In entertaining the liopo that Wlkske
might bo bung by this time. The crime was
a particularly brutal one , and the community
in which it occurred Is thoroughly aroused ,
Frequent threats of lynching have been made ,
and the sheriff thought It might bo possible
that some of the vlgllonts found the keys ,
took the man out quietly through the rear
and rclocked the jail , and then took him
back to the locality where tbo crime was
committed and lynched him.
Claim on nu Accident Policy.
In the superior court yesterday tes'tlmony
was taken In the suit of Sarah B. Moore
against the Fraternal Union Accident associa
tion. Mrs. Mooro's husband was a holder of
an accident policy In the Jntmranco company
[ or $3,000 , and was killed while on a hunting
axpcdltlon In Illinois In 1893. Mrs. Mcare
brought suit for the amount of the policy
and the defendant rot up the claim that the
last assessment had not been paid and the
further claim that the company had gene
out of business at the time. *
The corporation was originally formed at
Charlton , la. , and later removed its head
quarters to this city. In her petition Mra
MOTO alleges that the buslncaj of
the company was never promptly
conducted and that all of the money
> ald Into the company's treasury waa ab
sorbed by the officers and agents , and that
ho policy holders never profited by the deals
n any way. The association went out of
juuinesu In 1893 , and the plaintiff recks to
nako the offlcera and directors of the defunct
company responsible for her claim. The de

There will lie a fight tnado at D s Molnes
over the pastage of the bill now pending
before the houc prohibiting the sale of ciga
rettes In Iowa.
The bill , In Its present form , Is a very
strict measure and prohibits the sale or keep
ing for sale of cigarettes and n penalty Is
provided that gets more severe with each
violation of thelaw. . The retail tobacco
dealers of Council Bluffs are not wasting
any sleep over the measure at all. They
figure that there Is no profit In the sale of
cigarettes anyway and that the cigarette
smoker. If he should quit the habit , would
probably become a consumer of cigars. Then ,
most of the dealers have more or less
trouble with the boys who want to buy ciga
rettes and thiy do all they cm to discourage
the habit and would rcnlly be glad to liao
the sale of the cigarettes stopped.
The jobbers of Council Bluffs and Iowa
look on the bill In a very different light ,
however , and It Is from them that the oppo
sition lo the measure will come. There Is
a margin of profit In cigarettes for the Job
bers and of course they do not care to lose
that , even with their Iowa customers , but
that Is a small part of their objection to the
measure. They would be willing to stop sellIng -
Ing cigarettes In Iowa , but they are pro
hibited , under the proposed bill , from ship
ping them out of the state , and that's where
the rub comes. For Instance , Percgoy li
Moore of this city sell nearly 500,000 cigar
ettes to the retailers each month and a very
largo proportion of this business goes to the
trade In Nebraska , Wyoming and other .west
ern country , nnd the firm naturally feels
loth to part with this trade. But the pro
posed law bars them from carrying the
goods In stock for outside trade.
The loss of the sale of outside business on
cigarettes is not the only nor the worst effect
of the law on the jobbers' business. A Ne-
brc&ka merchant who orders a bill of cigars
and wants a few boxes of cigarettes will not
pay double freight on the order In order to
have his cigars shipped from Council Bluffs
and his cigarettes from Omaha. He Is more
apt to order his cigars from the town In
which the shipping of cigarettes
Is not prohibited , and Peregoy &
Meore and the wholesale grocery
stores of Council Bluffs will Icso not only
their cigarette trade , but will lose trade In
other lines of goods as a result of the en
forcement of the law. The Jobbers of Du-
bupue , Sioux City , BurllngUn , Davenport.
Muscatlnc , Keokuk and other Iowa cities that
have trndo In other states ore also etsrlouply
affected by the tetms of the proposed law
and will oppose It.
It Is understood that a committee of the
leading tobacco nnd grocery houses of the
state will go to Des Molnes today to appear
before the house committee and remonstrate
against the passage cf the bill In Its present
form. An effort ) will be made to at least
have the bill eo amended that jobbers of
cigars and tobaccos may carry cigarettes for
the trade outside of the state. They dc-
.mand this In order that they may not be put
under a handicap In their efforts at com
petition with jobbing houses outside the
state of Iowa.

Unknown Tramp.
MANNING , la. . Feb. 3. ( Special Tele
gram , ) Ben Levlck , a peddler , living ; at DCS
Molnes , was shot and killed Saturday In
plain view from a much traveled highway
fifty feet distant. The murder occurred at a
deserted house on n farm and the body was
discovered by a boy , who had gene to the
place to water his horses. The man had
hardly been dead twenty minutes when his
body was discovered. Tlio weapon used was
n shot gun and the head of the unfortunate
victim was nearly blown off. The deed Is
supposed to have been the work of a tramp
who had been seen in that vicinity and rob
bery was probably the motive. Ho only re
ceived a few cents , however. The tramp
has been traced to Arcadia , but nothlnir more
Is known of him.
The. body was taken to Templeton by the
coroner and was sent to DCS Molnes this
afternoon , accompanied by W. Sllverman and

IlCMOlutlon Full and KM Adoption
KoIIimN No lloiii ; for the
Code Honor * .
DCS MOINES , Feb. 3. ( Special. ) The
house passed the following Joint resolution ,
Introduced by Mr. Nolan :
Whereas , A system'of gambling In the fu
ture prices of our country's products by and
through boards of Undo of our gieat com
mercial centers has obtained a foothold
which Is largely destructive to our business
Interests , subverting from Its proper chan
nels , the regulating of such prices by the
proper laws of supply and demand nnd
Inimical to the morals of our people ; there
fore , bo It
Resolved , by the house of representatives ,
the senntc concurring. That we memorialize
our national congress , now In session nt
Washington , D. C. , to enact a stringent
law prohibiting all such gamb'.lnu In the
ptobable future prices of our countries'
products ( principal among which products
uro grain ? , pork products , cotton , commer
cial oils , etc. ) , and that all parties proposing
ingor agreeing to sell such products must
be possessed of such offered products or
storage certificates therefor ; nnd nlso for
providing strong nnd sufficient penalties for
the vlolatlon of such national statutes.
All efforts to delay action on the resolu
tion by McArtbur and others were steadily
voted down and the resolution passed with
scarcely a half dozen dissenting votes.
The time of the house was largely con
sumed In a forsenlc battle between Funk
and Crow over a proposition to replace the
allegorical figure of "Victory" on the soldiers'
monument with a statute of a common soldier
In the' position of "right shoulder arms. "
Both members waxed eloquent , and were
loudly applauded at the close of their re
marks. Van Houten , Boll and others also
spoke at some length. An amendment by
Lambert , Including "all other portraits and
medallions of a personal character , " was
adopted and the resolution-referred to the
committee on military affair ? .
Senator Garst of Carroll , who Is ono ol
the best business men In the senate , has
llttlo hope cf any final action on the code
commission' : ) report. Ho says bluntly tha
this legislature will not do anything. The
time will bo frittered away In fighting over
the chapters and sections relating to corpora
tlons In the committee room , and when the
reports come up for action on the floor o
the senate the same contest will break ou
again and ho debate will likely drag on for
weeks. Even should one branch of the as
sembly got through with HB tvork , "the
chances are against agreement by the other
Garst Is not In favor of leaving everything
to the "conference committee" of the two
houses In the closing hours of the session
and then rush through their reports without
duo consideration as sometimes have happened
poned In the past.
Among the Important bills now pending
In the loner house la one intended to arrcs
the spread of Infectious dlrcapcg among
swlno and other live stock. Mr. Garner
who Is the author of this measure , says
it embraces the recommendations of the
skilled veterinarians In both the Department
of Agricultural and In the employ of the
various states , as well as those , connected
wllh Ihn nprlpiilMiral pnllfirps.
Sections 1 and 2 of the bill requires the
state veterinary surgeon to have printed
upon cardboard a brief statement of the
symptoms oC Infectious diseases and provides

that may bo made In pursuance of this act.
