ABLE DISCUSSION OF CAMPAIGN ISSUES Men of Alt PnrtlrM lr4 * iit to Hem1li - SiKM-Hi THIiiile to Scimloi * . \Hi-uM I ITnrtM lu SlUvr'x lie lull f. Congressman Robert 0. Cousins , one of Iowa's most brilliant representatives at Waihlngton , demonstrated to an Immense audleneo at the McKlnley headquarters last night , that ho Is able to discuss the finance question In n convincing ns well as a inmorous manner. Ho delivered one ot the most effect Ivo speeches of the campaign. His smooth Up and chin , Innocent , ap parently , of even the down of early man- lood , and his frank boyish face give him an appearance ot extreme youth that en titles him to bo called the "Boy Orator of town. " Congressman Cousins was introduced by C. M. Harl after the manner that has made Hnrl more than locally famous , and before the stranger arose to speak he had been made well acquainted with his audience , and every man and woman felt a personal In terest In htm. Ho Is n slow , deliberate , but very earnest and logical speaker , drop ping well rounded sentences that become eloquent a moment after they have fallen from his lips. On the stand were seated John N. Baldwin , Judge Reed , Hon. D. C. Bloomer and other prominent republicans. Mr. Cousins lost no tlmo In getting down lo the hard facts of his argument , and for an hour and n half ho gave the crowd something to think of that will strengthen republican convictions and shako the faith of the sllverltes In their fallacies. TRIBUTE TO SKNATOR ALLEN. Ho referred to the extraordinary efforts that had been made by the sllverltes for the last year to spread their propaganda , and to Senator Allen , whose chief claim to legisla tive glory will always lie in the fact that he spoke for thirty-six hours on the sliver question. Ho critically analyzed the silver doctrine and showed Its Incongruities , Its falsities and Its dangers , and declared that a mere statement of It would reduce it to absurdity , wherever It based Its claims upon the much vaunted "crime of ' " 3. " He said If he were a veterinary surgeon and a man came to him with n horse ring-boned and spavined , and he told the man the horse was suffering from something he ate twenty years ago It would be a fair comparison to the ridiculous assumptions and assertions ot the silver monomctalllsts who attribute all ot the evils the country has suffered since the advent of democracy into power to the financial legislation ot twenty years ago. He reviewed the entire history of the pas sage * ot the silver act ot 1873 and ridiculed the assertion , while proving Its falsity , that there was any secrecy or any crime com mitted then. He showed that the venerable fathers of the silver movement , Including Senator Stewart , voted for the law they now denounce so bitterly. SILVERITES' FALSE ASSERTIONS. For half an hour he devoted his time describing and comparing the conditions of 1892 and the present time , and 1S92 with twenty years ago. There was $18 per capita of currency In circulation in 1S73 and $24 in 1892. He declared that every claim made by the silver champions today was utterly false and purposely misleading. He contrasted the Increase of wealth In the west with the decrease In eastern states , using figures from the census of li90 ! , as an answer to thn claims that the east lad ) robbed the west. Western states had Increased In wealth since 1873 from 100 to ? 00 per cent without on ex ception , but only three eastern states showed any Increase , and that Increase was less than 20 per cent , while all of the others showed a heavy decrease. Ho reached the climax of his eloquence when ho declared that the present demo- goguos who were engaged now In trying to deceive the people solely for the purpose of securing power for themselves by appealing to the passions and prejudices for dies farmers , would be found using for their issue the denunciation of the farmers 01 the Mississippi valley as the land holders and monopolists who were robbing the people ple by withholding from them the privilege of making a living by farming their broad acres. They would be found arraying some other classec against the farmers whom they are now trying to array against the capitalists and people of the east. The principal case In Justice VIen's court yesterday was the State against E. T. Thompson. Thompson has been having trouble of late with his nelRhbors' children , They have been In the habit of going Into Thompson's garden and helping themselves to whatever they could lay their hands on. Ho caught one of them and administered a sound thrashing to him. In summing up the case the justice said that Thompson should have done the duty ot nn American citizen by bringing the boy to the police station in stead of taking It upon himself to set upon and beat the boy , and that he had violated the law to ouch an extent that a fine of $5 and costs would bo needed to settle the diffi culty. The bond of appeal was fixed nt $50. Thompson was released. In the case of the State against Hannah Anderson , she was found guilty of assault and battery and n fine of $1 and costs was taxed against her. In Justice Cook's tribunal a number of at torneys spent a good part of the day dls- CUSB'UK the laws governing garnishments am their application to the case of Albert Otto nn employe of the Northwestern Railway company. Otto Is a married man , and ono of his creditors soufiht to enforce the collec tion of a small account through garnishment proceedings. The proceedings created a good deal of trouble at both the Councl Bluffs and Chicago ends of the line , The reply of the company showed the corporation owed Otto ? flO , An attachment was Imme diately Issued for this money , and Loca Agent ; Montgomery was In the center of the vortex of anxious creditors and angry law yers during the greater part of the after noon. Otto pleaded exemption as a marrlei man. and Montgomery was brought In again to show that the amount duo Otto did not exceed three months' back pay , which con stitutes the portion of the wages of a mar ried man exempted from attachment by law. The Justice rendered his decision accordingly , and the garnishment was released. The case was watched with a good deal of In terest by other creditors who hold claims against married men , and If the contest had disclosed any wrak places In the Iowa law for the protection of the wages of the bread-winners many other suits would have followed , _ Wo are In the plpo business , and If price Is an object to you , wo can sell you a , pipe , Moore & Ellis. _ .Mr * . Jiilln Miller Iw l cml. Mrs , Julia Miller , a former resident of Council Bluffs , died a few days since at the Hospital for the Insane at Clarlnda , after many months of suffering. The remains wore taken to Montezuma , la. , her girlhood home , for burial , Tlio Millers were residents of this city about ten years ago , Mr. Miller traveling for one of our Implement houses. They removed to some place In Illinois and engaged In the hotel business , Subsequently Miller deserted his family for another wo man , with whom he Is now living in Cal ifornia , Mrs , Miller took up her residence among relatives at Jefferson , la , The strug gle to maintain herself and children and brooding over her desertion undermined her health and unsettled her reason , and about a year ago she was sent to Clarlnda for treatment , where death ended her Bufferings. Miller had several children , all of them girls. After the destruction of bis family the children were scattered , One of them finally went to her father In California , and another found a home with Mrs. Miller's brother , Muhlon Head ot Jefferson , la.

Link Eaton , the Wlota bootlegger , was convicted by the Jury. The verdict was returned at 2 o'clock yesterday afternoon. Eaton was out on ball nt the time and a deputy marshal was sent out to find him. A jury was hearing the evidence against Martin Cramer while Eaton's fate was being weighed. Cramer Is a restaurant keeper In Corning , and some of his enemies discov ered that ho was selling elder , which was technically described by expert witnesses placed on the stand by the state ns having "a stick in It. " How many slicks of his kind Cramer had disposed of none ot the witnesses exactly knew , but some of them thought there were enough to make n good sized bundle of drunks. The case was given to the Jury during the afternoon , but no re port had been made when court adjourned. The remainder of the day was taken up with the case ot Otto Funk , a young man from Grlswold , charged with Illicit sales ot beer. Funk's case is a fair sample of the majority of such cases that consume the time of the federal court , and pile up ex penses on the government. Deputy Marshal Eller , who arrested him , watched the prog ress of the trial and llstcnc'd to the testi mony of Funk's accusers. He declared that Funk should never have been arrested , and that he was one ot the best citizens of Grls wold. Some of his enemies , out of pure spite , had procured bis arrest and furnished evi dence ot technical violations of the revenue laws that compelled the officers to take cog nizance of the case. The story as revealed by the testimony and corroborated by the officer showed that Funk was one of a party ot young farmers and village boys who ar ranged a little Saturday afternoon picnic , and Included n small keg of beer In their bill of fare. A collection was taken up to pay for the lunch and the money turned over to Funk , who paid for the sandwiches and beer all In a lump and at one place. The fact that ho collected the money to pay for the beer constituted bis offense against the federal revenue laws. The case was not con cluded when court adjourned. St , llcmiircrM Anniversary Ccl Yesterday was the ninth anniversary of the founding of St. Bernard's hospital. The event was celebrated in n hearty , but un ostentatious , manner by . the sisters and their friends. A reception of a very Informal character was held and hundreds of friends called and congratulated the sisters upon the magnificent success that has crowned their labors. Nine years ago the work was begun In a little building erected for resi dence purposes , with a few patients , who were mostly cared for In pure charity. Now It has grown Into a magnificent Instlutlon with a building that Is ono of the conspicu ous objects In the city , caring for nearly 150 patients and requiring the help of a corps of twenty sisters. The ambition of the sisters Is not satisfied and plans are enter tained for future development and Improve ments that will make the Institution still greater In Its capacity and of more Impor tance to the city. .Mary KIINSIIIIIMSCII Iicliircil Insniir. Mary Rassmussen of Neola township was before the commissioners for the Insane yes terday. The examination resulted In an or der for her confinement In St. Bernard's hospital for treatment. On September 19 , n year ago , the woman was before the board for examination and she was sent to the hospital for the purpose of permitting her symptoms to be observed and her condition determined. After three days' care In the Institution she was discharged as not being sufficiently insane to justity confinement. Since then she has developed a suicidal mania and has given her friends a great deal of trouble. _ Myers & Dillon Drug Co. , leading druggists and agents In Omaha for General Joe cigars.

The Ilamcs broke out In the cast wins ot Un building. which Is a substantial three-story structure of stone and brick , and from the nature of the origin of the lire It Is thought to have been the work of an Incendiary. Cadet Clopton , son of the United States district attorney ot St. Louis , and Cadet W. W. Austin of Carrollton , Mo. , proved them selves heroes and saved several lives. Cap tain Glassock , military Instructor , and Lieutenant Good , United States tinny , also did heroic rescue work.
