When George Osbornc gets through with the U'oodbury county officers he will know that It Is wrong to sign other men's names to orders for fruit trees , sewing machines and other things that are usually sold by traveling solicitors. George was in the city Jail for several hours yesterday engeged . in thinking the matter over. His conclusions wcro not mauo pumic when Biiemr Davenport t9ot | him to , Sioux City lost evening. He was ' 'nrrestc.d at" Crescent City yesterday on two warrants , charging forgery and cheat ing by false prctcnsEs. Osborno Is an Itinerant fruit tree merchant , who has been selling fruit tree ? throughout the western pait of the state and Nebraska , for a nursery located at Corrcctlonvllle , forty miles from Sioux City , which Is owned by D. Shontz , who four years ngo held the position of Jailer at the city Jail here. When business Was dull ho expedited It by filling out the order blanks for the farmers and afllxlng their names without troubling them about such a little matter as a signature. He turned In to the nursery man about $500 worth of these easily token orders and re ceived his commUslo-n upon them. When the farmers were notified through the malls by the nurosryman that their orders had been booked and would be delivered In duo time , yomo of them took the trouble to write back nnd tell the nursery man that when they wanted fruit trees they would order them. A largo num ber of sjch letters gave Shontz an Idea that It might be profitable to find out what thesw men were talking nbcut. The Investigation that followed led to Iho discovery that Os berne had collected commissions upon a largo lot cf forged orders. The matter was placed In the hands of the Woodbury county officers , and the grand Jury returned two Indictments against the man. Osborno Is about 25 years old and a flno looking fellow. Ho has had some pretty rough experiences lately. Last fall ho was nearly killed by a collision on a brldgo near Crescent. Ho was crossing the bridge In his buggy and was run down by a farmer with n heavy wagon and a wild team. For several weeks ho was at the point of death. Ho comes from n good family , and has a brother In Council Bluffs and ono In Omaha. A social will bo given tomorrow ( Thurs day ) evening at the First Presbyterian church by the flower committee.

Deputy Sheriff Baker went to Carson yes terday with a search warrant for the pur pose of looking for stolen goods In the Jiouscs of several relatives of Alexander , the man accused of robbing a number of Rock Island freight cars.

LINE FOR UNITED ACTION Retail Morcbants Form an Organization for the City's Interests. SEVERAL PLANS BRIEFLY DISCUSSED Coniinlllcrn Aitpnlnteil ( n I'rniarc n .Srlii-inc for I'crimiiioiit Oi-Kiinl/a- tlim nt tinItctnlt Mi-rulmiiti Homo of thi ; lili'iix Neaily 100 business men , representing the retail trade of Council Bluffs In nil of Its different branches , met at the court house last night and took the preliminary steps toward the organization of an association of retail merchants for the purpcso ot uork'ng for tlie building up of local trade and the advancement of thr business Interests of Council Iluffs. ) The mectlni ; was held In rcsponso to the call which was published In The Dee yester day , and the attendance was fully up to the expectations of the men ho have been mo t active In promoting the plan for the or ganization. Men representing many of the Interests of the c ty In the varkus llnea of retail trade were present , and while there was no prearranged plan , for the work In hand , the men present ucre unanimous In the opinion that , some unity of action was nec essary for the advancement of the commer cial luterci'ty of the city. The call for the meeting was read by Mr. J. C. Do Haven and Mr. Andrew Bell waj selected ns temporary chalrnun of the meet ing. Mr. J. G. Sullivan was chooin tem porary secretary and the meeting was opan for stiggcstlCns from the merchants present asi to the l > C ! t plan of acccmpl.shlng the ob ject * of the proposed organization. J. J. Fearon offered the first rugge tlon. Ho said that some yeirs ago. when ho lived at Syracuse , the merchants of that city met thn department store competition by starting a department store of their cwn. Each mer chant put In a counter and shared hlo pro portionate cost of the expenua of the estab lishment and then used printers' Ink liberally , nd all of the merchants were benefited by the plan. Mr. Fcaron suggested that such a stcru located In the Elseman bu Idlng would draw much of the trade that now goes to the department"stores of Omaha. Mr. S. S. Keller stated that ho supposed the meeting wns an Informal and a prelim inary one , for the purpose of talking over plans that might be adopted for the benefit of all the merchants of the city. He thought the hotels should be Interested tn the move ment as well as the retail merchants , and that plans chould be adopted to bring people ple to the city. He advised that steps be taken looking to the creation of a grain market In thin city In time to look after the fall trade and that preliminary steps should ha taken In that direction at once. Then the business men , in their dally Intercourse with their friends , should talk and explain the disadvantages that come from spending their money In other cities. Each dollar that a property owner of Council Bluffs spends In another city depreciates the value of his property that much , and each dollar that a laboring man spends outside of the city re duces the chances for his employment In this city. If the merchants of the city would Impress upon their customers that they cculd get goods In this city ns cheap as elsewhere the rci'ul ! ) would be an increase of the local trade. There was much that the club could nccompllph for the. general good , and he was anxious thnt all plans for the advancement of the general Interests bo fully sunm.n nTMTn ! < TT TUP ! Trmrxr Mr. W. H. Bradley urged that the flrst step necessary was to orgsnlze and get working committees In the field and have men at the head of the association who were ready and willing to act on the suggestions of the retail dealers. Something should be doneto bring people to Council Bluffs to trade , and ho was in favor of the adoption of any plans that would accomplish that re sult. If excursions would do It , ho was In favor of excursions , but ho wanted them rui during the week , and not on Sunday. He was In favor of fairs and expositions' ant special gala day attractions , when the mer chants could offer their special bargains ana convince people that they could do as wel In Council Bluffs as they could elsewhere- Ho had no quarrel with people who Insisted upon buying their gocda In Omaha or any other town , but he was In favor of usilm , every legitimate effort to show Council Blufrs people and others living In territory tribu tary to this city that they could do as wel hero as elsewhere. This would require work and unity of action , and he was in favor o : It. He did not favor any close corporation nnd would withdraw from any organization that attoinptod to fix prices , or to do any thing that was not for the benefit of the city in general. If people could bo Induced to como to Council Bluffs to trade he would take bis chances In getting his oharo of the business. On motion of Mr. Dellaven , the chairman and secretary selected temporarily , were made the permanent chairman and secre tary of the organization. Some discussion was had as to the name of the organiza tion , and finally the meeting adoptel the nirne suggested by Mr. DcIInvcn , that of the Retail Merchants' Association of Coun cil Bluffs. Mr. D. W. Bushnell was elected vice president , Mr.T. . C. DeVol treasurer and the following gentlemen chosen as an executive committee : A , Whltelaw , C. S. llyers , M. Woolman , W. H. Bradleyi Frank Peterson , S. T. McAtee , Charles Deno and J. C. DcHavcn. Messrs. Whltelaw , Byers and Woolman wcro appointed as a committee on resolu tions and by-laws. There was some dis cussion as to the time nnd frequency of meetings , uid It was finally decided to meet twlco each month for the present. The qicf-tlon of dues was left to the executive committee. Another meeting will bo held at the city building next Tuesday night , at which the report of the committee on constitution anJ by-laws will bo received. 1'AIIH SUMMITS A XI-JW OltDINAKCK. S I'rlvllt-pri-M Union n me on Avc- 11110 UN nivoii Terminal Company. At the special meeting of the city council laet evening Mr. Paul and the Iowa Construc tion company occupied considerable time In discussing the various phases of the propo sition Involved In the Indian creek deal. The company presented Us written accept ance of the right of way ordinance , granted some tlmo ago , and the document was placed on file. The reports of the committee on police and health , and of the meat and milk Inspector wcro read and placed en flic. The com mittee on police an-1 health recommended that the council grant the right to John Hammer to use the pest house for one of his tenants , and the recommendation was concurred In with the provision that Ham mer should put the building In good condi tion and vacateIt whenever neejed for hocpotal purposes. The finance committee presented the fol lowing resolution : Whereas , On July H. 1S9I. $5ono , nnd on August 20. U9I , W.ooo , were transferred from the police fund to the special , assessment grading fund , UH n temporary loan , to take up boidw then matutlng , for which no funds were on hand , in consequences of back Intel cut not Iinvlng been collected ; andWhereas Whereas , The prenter part of said back Interest bus been collected nnd la now on 1mm ] ; therefore ho it ilebolveu. That the cum of $3,000 be now transferred back to the police fund , and that the eum of 17,000 be trnnsfvned from the police fund to the general fund , nnd that said sum bo used In taking up out standing ( -i'iu-ral fund warrants. The resolution wns adrpted , Mr. Paul's substitute ordinance , granting the Iowa Improvement company permission to cross Broadway and other streets wei > t of Ninth ftrcet. was brought up and dis cussed. The ordinance Is simply a revision of the former ono made by Mr. Paul , but making it apply more epeclflcally to tlio right of way on Union avenue , and em bodying the same points contained In the ordinance granted the Urldgo and Terminal company , A lengthy dltcuzslon arose over tha reference of the ordinance to n committee or to a committee of the whole A motion to refer It to the committee o the whole wns carried nn.l reconslderei and It was then refcrrc.l to n special com mlttee. consisting of Aldermen Greenshleld and Spetman , to consider It nnd report t the committee of the whole Monday after noon. The Worklngmen's Friendly club sub milled a communication asking the counc to employ members of Its organization "quajlty and prlca being equal , " on ell ' work' such as they could do. The commun cation nos referred to the committee o streets and alleys , with a suggestion to ac upon it as favorably ns possible.

The usual anxious Inquirer seeking pollt cal enlightenment has appeared , but he In net been as successful as he usually Is 1 getting the d 1red Information , largely fc the reason that the oracle to which ho pro pounds his conundrums has been a sphyn so far In the present municipal contosl. H used some plain Anglo-Saxon words when h mode his Inquiries to the organetteyci'tcr dny morning , but the men who turned th crank of Iho "machine" could cnly grin out a little ? iat of generalities. There wane no nnswcr to the queries : "Who Is mop 1 kely to get the nomination for mayor , am who do you favor ? " "Wo would like to hav ycu tell us wuo your candidate is. " The answer of the "machine" when 1 moved lugubcrously was delightfully sphynx like nnd Indefinite , and was to the effect thn the "machine" would be found "onthusl nstlcslly supporting the man who wa elected. " The official call for the republican city can ventlon and primaries was Issued by Chair man Turner last evening , fixing the prl marlos for Saturday evening and the convcn lion for Wednesday , at the county cour house. The call designates the places fo holding the primaries. The First ward voter will meet nt 520 East Broadway at 73 ; ( o'clock ; Second ward , at the city building Third warJ , flrst precinct , at Justice Walk er's cfllco ; second precinct , at 803 South Main itreet ; Fourth ward , flrst precinct , at cour hoiu's ; second precinct , at Smith's hall Fifth ward , at 1102 Fifth nvenue ; Slxtl ward , firet precinct , nt 2020 Broadway ; sec end precinct , Cut-Off Island , Jensen hal The prospects are that the primaries wll bo moro numerously attended than at any previous city election for many years. Th disposition seems to bo very strong to revel against the management of the half dozen men who operate the "machine" and man Ipulate the conventions In about any way they chooss. The soldier clement In Council Bluffs ha always been very strong , and the member of the old guard have a preferred candlat for mayor. The following communication from a representative of this element wa prc nted to 'the self-styled local organ o the republican party yesterday and rfcfueec publication : In view of the fact thnt there Is to be a ccntest made in the near future for a candl date for mayor , I deem It but just to the soldier clement that a soldier be placed u the head of the republican ticket , and as wo recognize the fact that by the prescn city council action hns been tnken to have the state legislature enact a. law to do away with the expensive luxury of n supe rlor court and have Iks duties devolve upon the mayor , thereby saving a needless tax and Imposing a duty upon the. mayo whereby he can conscientiously earn hi salary. It Is but just and proper that a man should be chosen who is conversan with the law , and In Judfre George Carson we soldiers present n comrade In time o war and an esteemed citizen in time o peace , pnd in the face of the fact , am which Is a disgrace to the republican party that not one soldier holds an elective olllnt In the city , wo demand It ns n wel earned ngnt tnat we oo represented in tnt nomination of George Carson for mayor In the approaching1 convention. The republican party Is considered the soldiers' party by Inheritance , and we have the best right to any gift in the hands o the people as n reward for services ren dercd nnd hardships endured In the serv ices of our country when wo were young nnd by whose valor alone the emblem o human liberty waves untnrnlshol over every section of the union , and is saluted T/ltl honor In every part of the world. Wo claim a just right from the masses of the people , regardless of party strife , that the veterans , the only champions of freemen who dared to meet the enemy In deadl > conflict , be recognized yet while living , ant do awav with the present style of honor ing with resolutions of respect at death nnd walling forth anthems of. praise unti hcarfo for a monument to mark the place where a hero Is burled , and the widows and orphans crying- for bread. Such sight ! nnd Fcenes are witnessed every day al over this union.

( Special. ) A murder case that Is attract ng attention all over the state Is on trial In the district court of Chlckasaw county at New Hampton. It Is that of L. R. Van Tassel , who Is charged with the murder of his wife , and If the ftate succeeds In proving what It claims It will be able to , he Is ono of the worst villains of the day. A little less than five ywirs ago Van Tassel , who had always borne. an excellent reputation , was married to a beautiful young lady of New Hampton , who had been a leading school teacher of that county. She was suddenly taken 111 , and on Juno 5 , lEOo , after a few days' Illness , died. Van Tastcll and lis ! wife had , as far an known , always lived a happy life. He was very devoted to her and she thought the world of him. Yet ho showed 1 ttle or no grief at her death , and In about two weeks began making violent protestations of love to a Bister of his late wife. This lead the people to become suspicious , nnd wme of the neighbors eei on foot a scries of In vestigations. They found that Van Tassel had purchased polscn at three different places only a short tlmo before the- death of h'p ' wife. A detective was employed , who claims to liavo secured a confession that the pr'tcncr killed his wife. It was upon the strength of this confession that an Indictment was returned against Van Tabbel for murder In the first degree. The case was continued from tlmo to time until the present term.

It Is generally conceded that the senti ment In the senate In favor of rcsubmlsslon Is on the Increase , though the most san guine friends of the measure do not claim to have the necessary number of voj.es to insure Its pasiugo. The senators who have all along been regarded as favorable to resubmission - submission are Bell , Berry , Byers , Carney , Cheshire , Druet , Eaton , Erlcson , Gllbertson , Gorrell Harrlman , Henderson , Hotchklss , Junkln , Kilburn , Mitchell. Palmer , Perrin , Phclps and Howcn " 0. The "hopefuls" are Senators Allyn , Blanchard , Carroll , Carpen ter , Ellison , Healy , Pcnroso , Sargeant and Young. Ot these Allyn , Blanchard , Carroll ind EllU'an ' are now thought to be reason ably certain to support resubmlralon , which would leave the rcsubmlsslonlsts only two votes short. Strong Influences arc being lirought to bear upun Senators Carpenter , Healy , Penrose and Young to bring them over to the support of the resolution , but so far none of thes-a senators have given any indications as to their final action. There Is a suspicion among the more can- : lous rcsubmlsslonlsts that they are being pd Into a trap. They fear that If the ro- subinlsslon resolution H < held In committee too long to get a position high enough up on the general flies to be reached In regu- ar order that It may bo left "dangling In nld air" when the legislature adjourns. It s no secret that If this Important resolution B subjected to the tender mercies of Matt ' ' " committee" Itlll be i'arrott's "sifting \ \ cru cified without any compunction. The knonl- cdge of thin fact may put the friends of re- submlsslon on guard against any unneces sary delay. As the situation now stands , hey have control of things and can choose heir own time to take up the matter In committee. While the ecnato boa declined to give the coilo revision tno rlgat or way on ino noor , yet the standing committees In many In- tanceu have practically Bet aside the now bllla Introduced and are bending their en ergies to a consideration of the code , hoping o got the report In proper shape to bo re- > orteJ back to the senate and placed on the ; eneral flies by iho 1st of March. The ac- lon of the standing committee , which It uaually conclusive , affords llttlo Indication of vhat Hnal disposition of the coda report will bo mado'by the senate Itself , or what changes nay be approved , us each member rjservei' ' ho right to antagonize any bill that may como up , though no opposition was offered o It In committee. This course Is taken norely for the purporo of facilitating the work of the version , for If factious o ; > posl- lon were mndo In the cojrtmHteo. bills could > e hung up for weeks , and ( Do disputes and wrangles engendered In committed rooma would bo Intensified whejj the bill comes up or action In the senate.

Smith , who , with his wife , arc the victims of the murderous passion of their son-ln-lnw , , Charles Pl.ares. The deed wrs committed In n fit of Insan ity , supposed to have been brought on by Pharcs' despondency , duo to enforced Idle ness for a long time. Ho was a barber , nnd a short time ago removed to this city with his family , n wife nnd child of B years. They lived nt the home of Mrs. Pharcs' parents , Mr. and Mrs , Smith. At noon today Pharcs came hcme from down town nnd entered the room where his father-in-law and mother-in-law were. He drew n revoher nnd shot Smith In the left sldo of Iho face , the bullet passing out at the right car , going through his head. Then ho turned the weapon on Mrs. Smith and shot her In the mouth , the bullet lodging In her brain. She died Instantly. He rushed cutslde and shot himself In the left temple. The bullet entered the brain. The sound of the reports brought neighbors to the scene. They found the three bodies. Smith was not dead , and still lingers , but he will die tonight. Mrs. Pharcs was away from him at the t'mo ' cl the deed , nnd the has been prostrated since she learned of It. It Is quite- possible she Will bn another sacrifice to- the Insane passion of her husband. There appears to be ni reason for the tragsdy unless It be temporary In sanity.

Devln Is connected with the Burlington here , and his wife is a half- sister of General Harrison. Ho admlt'ed to The Boo correspondent that Mrs. McKcc was at flrst opposed to the match , but said that she was now reconciled. He stated that the papers which professed to believe that Mr. Harrison would accept another nomi nation for president did him an unklndncss. Harrison stated to relatives before leaving the white house that he never wanted to go back there again , and had always stuck to It. Devln said : "Harrison would not ac cept the nomination under any consideration. He Is friendly both to McKlnley and Alli son , but has a partiality for Allison.

( Special. ) There Is a great deal of dissatisfaction with the new Jury law throughout the state , and while In some respects It Is nn Improvement over the former system , which left the mat ter largely opti'nal with the county clerk. It has some very objectionable features. "By the present method , which compels the clerk , recorder arid auditor to make- the draw from the entire county , there Is Just as much llke- llh'od of a foolish person , a drunkard or a Jail b'rd ' being drawn on the grand Jury as that good men well.ba chosen , and If this does .happen there Is absolutely no help the men. drawn must serve and sit in Judgment on cases' perhaps Involving large amounts cf property or the guilt or Innocence of Indi viduals. Then another point against this system Is that the presence of the clerk , re corder and auditor Is required , and If by chance one of these cfilclals should be out of t'-wn , the cntlrci machinery of the court would be disarranged , as the law requires that- legal not'ce ' to the- voters be given a certain length of time In advance , and If the drawing did not take place at the advertised time , there would not be sufficient time to publish another notice. On account of a technical error the Insertion of a figure C In place of a G , In the notice , the last term ot court , the entire Jury was declared Illegal and the county put to large and unnecessary expense In empaneling a new one. .Salary ( ralibhiK O'.m-H 1111 Trial.

Stomach troubles arc BO common and in njany cases so cbstlnnto to euro that people are apt to look with suspicion on nny rem edy cla'mlng to bo a radical , permanent euro for dyspepsia and Indigestion. Many uucli pride themselves on their acuteness In never being humbugged , especially on medicines. This fear of being humbugged nuy bo car ried too far ; so far , in fact , that many per sons suffer for years with weak digestion rather than risk a I ttle tlmo and money In faithfully testing the claims of a prepara tion so reliable nnd universally used as Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets. Now Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets are vaslly different In one Important respect from ordi nal y proprietary medicines , for the reason that they are not a ojcret patent medicine ; no secret is made of UIOT Ingredients , but analysis shows them lo contain the natural digestive fermenls , pure ateptlc pepsin , thu digestive acids' , Golden Seal , bismuth , hy- drastls and mix. They are not cathartic , neither do they act powerfully on any organ , but they euro Indigestion on the common gmsa plan of digest.ng the food eaten promptly , thoroughly before It has tlmo to ferment , sour and cause the mischief. This Is the only secret of their success. Carthartlc pills never have and never can euro Indigestion and stomach troubles , be- cauoo they act entirely upon the bowels , whereas the whole trouble la really In the t'lomach. ' Sluart's Dyspepsia Tablets , taken after meals , digest the food. That Is all there Is to It. Food not digested or half digested la poison , as It creates gap , acidity , head ache * , palpitation of the heart , loa of flesh and appetite and many other troubles which are often called by some other name.
