The rntlro morning session In the district court W.IH taken up In the hearing of an appeal of the widow of Pleasant Taylor from the report of the icfcrecs appointed to par tition and appralso the estate. The value placed on forty 'acres ' of land given to Mrs. Taylor was $ -15 an acre , and eho claimed this was too high. The court , however , ap proved the report. The heirs have been having a legal dispute over the partition of the property , and suit was brought by Mrs. Mary Gorton to have certain lurccla of farm lands owned by her'brothers taken Into consideration while making the partition. She Insisted that these lands were given to the other heirs during the lifetime of their father , and should bo considered In making the division of the estate. The court held adversely to her position. J. II. Mathews , Perry Kcrney and L. P. Jtidson were yesterday appointed trustees by agree ment of the various parties to the suit , and they were- ordered to settle the affairs of the estate. Another Interesting cake that catno up before Judpo Green yesterday was that of the Keene Five-Cent Savings bank against D. W. Archer. P. II Wind has ut claim against the property Involved In the same case , and his Interests were combined with those of the bank's , In order that all the Issues might ho decided In the ono trial. Mr. Archer defends against the foreclosure of a mortgage on his Broadway property on the grounds of fraud by the Klmbnll & Champ Investment company , which made the loan for him with the Kcene Five-Cent Sav ings bank. The Investment company waste to make a second mortgage for him , and at Iho same tlmo take up the first loan. The second note for $ S,000 was executed , but Messrs. Klmball & Champ failed to pay off the first mortgage , which Is the ono now In dispute In the cUse on trial. Mr. Wind has a claim for material and labor fur nished In the erection of the Archer block. In the case of S. It. Adams against C. D. Palmer , a decree of foreclosure was en tered.

Atlantic IIIsli School Kleven Snowed Under byI ! ) to ( I. Council Bluffs High school foot ball team took the aggregation of longhalrs from At lantic Into camp yesterday after noon at the Field Club park to the tune of 49 to 0. The odd figure In the sum Is duo to the desire of Captain Mather to cater to the crowd and glvo a little artistic punting In the shape of a pretty drop kick goal from the fluid. This closed the decidedly one-sided contest amid the wild shouts of the wearers of the red and blue , while the Atlantic boys stood still and watched the' ' star fullback add five more to the already Imtuenso score of their opponents. Yesterday's game was ono repetition of long runs , aided by fine interference. Line bucking was done almost perfectly , and the stratagem that the Council Bluffs boys have up their sleeves was hardly called Into use. They.are keeping It there for their Thanks giving struggle with Red Oak. which game has now become a regular fixed event In the sporting life of the Montgomery county metropolis. Council Bluffs started the ball and made a good advance on the klckoff. Atlantic made a fair showing In the first few rushes , but was forced to kick after making about seven yards. Pellett sent the ball to the left side , and by some good running Hully recovered It for the visitors. Atlantic was soon held on downs and then the fun began. The homo team worked Its ends for two long runs. Pardy took the ball twenty-five yards and the balance of the distance , about thirty yards , was made by Hutchlnson for a touchdown. Stewart failed at goal. Score , ! to 0 , Atlantic's klckoff was cut down by a good advance by Pardy. Largo gains by Dales- man , Stewart and II. Pardy brought the ball within twenty yards of goal. Will Pardy was sent around for that distance and the second score. II. Dalley promptly kicked goal. Score , 10 to 0. Stewart gobbled Atlantic's klckoff on the dead run and ploughed through the field for twenty-five yards. A few of the custom ary long plunges landed Mathers , after a twer.ty-yard run , within two /feet of the goal. Stewart was sent through , with Ma thers encircling his waist , like a shot. R. Dalloy kicked goal. Score , 1C to 0. Stewart again caught the klckoff and made a good advance before tackled. Mathers gobbled up two and a half chalk marks , when Hutchlnson followed with a break through the line In the center of the field. Ho had been practically stopped , hut the line In front suddenly gave way and a big opening left the field clear In front. Ho was soon headed by Mathers and II. Dalley. and they guarded him to a com fortable scat between the goal posts. R. Dalloy kicked goal. Score , 22 to 0. Time was then called on the first half. The second half started the Council Bluffs boys after a century of scores. All the visItors - Itors did was to kick off and make a few desperate efforts to stop the Council Illuff& runs and plunges. Many a run of the field was spoiled by Pellett , Atlantic's fullback. He liatully missed a tackle and kept the score against his team down at a dozen points. As the homo team were tearing down the field around Mathers for their first score In the Hecond half ho plucklly broke through a strong Interference and tackled the runner on the ten-yard line. Hutchlnson took the ball hero and crossed the lino. Dalley mlsoed goal. Score , 20 to 0. The Idckoft was all Atlantic could get. They novcr once held Council Dluffa on downs. Gains by Mathers. W. Dalley , Knox , H. Pardy , Hutchlnson , W. Pardy landed another score. Dalley kicked goal. Score , 32 to 0 , This performance was only varied once , when Mathers punted for about forty yards , which waa cut down by a good run by Pellett.

OH13AT AVISnO.tr OF AX IOAVA JUUY. 1'rlNoiier I'lcmlN Onllty nnd In Found Not Guilty. CRESTON , la. , Nov. 20. ( Special. ) Dur ing the present term of the district court Lewis Clem of Shannon City was tried for burglary. Clem had confessed to the deed , and In the prosecution the defense sub mitted evidence corroborating the defend ant's confession. The attorneys for the de fense set up the plea of. Imbecility and en deavored to establish the Irresponsibility of the youthful burglar. The case was con cluded and the jury retired to deliberate. It returned a verdict declaring that Clem was sane , but acquitting him of the crime which ho had confessed. Judge Tedford ex pressed his surprise at the verdict , and said If he had the power ho would discharge the Jury. Clem was released by virtue of the jury's findings , but his liberty was of short duration. This morning ho was arrested by the federal authorities for robbing the Shannon City postodlce. Sheriff Davenport will take him to DCS Moines the latter part of the week. The attempt to establish the Irresponsi bility of Ed Nolan , another Shannon City youth , cousin of Clem , failed. Nolan forged a noto. The defense set up the plea of men tal Irresponsibility and by expert testimony made a strong case. The state fought this plea hard. The case was given to the Jury , which remained out twenty-four hours , re turning a verdict of guilty. A. W. Thresher , arrested for embezzle ment , was dismissed by the grand jury. The Jury discovered that It had no Ju risdiction , the alleged crimes having been committed In other counties. The grand jury has finished Its labors and adjourned , reporting a few Indictments which have not been made public. During a session of the court a pathetic scene occurred. It was In connection with the Cunningham divorce case. Mrs. Cun ningham asked for legal separation on ac count of the Inhuman treatment of her husband. The custody of the children was considered. Mr. Cunningham was willIng - Ing that his wlfo have possession of all the. children excepting a 10-year-old son , The judge placed the little fellow on the stand and asked him , In casej of separation of his parents , with which would he like to live. The little fellow looked at his father and turnIng - Ing to the judge said ho wanted to stay with his mamma. When asked why , ho said be cause his papa beat him with a leather strap. The child laid his head on his mother's breast and commenced to sob. Thu court ordered that thu mother bo given Ous ted y. ' XO MOIli : FAIMJIIKS AT SIOUX CITY.

South Omaha News. In Octoher , 1894 , the city council passed an ordinance condemning certain property on Thirty-ninth street for the purpose of opening that street from Q to S street. A. W. Dudley was the owner of two lots which were condemned , and ho writes to the city officials from St. Louis that he has novcr jcen paid for the lots , and he would like ils money. Ho also objects to paying taxes on the property since the date of the con demnation proceedings. The records show that the ordinance was passed and properly signed , but no record can bo found of Dud- ey having been paid anything for his prop erty. Ho wants $400 and Interest , nnd the natter has been placed In the hands of the city attorney for adjustment. Uxiinl Statement Overlooked.

PIERRE , S. D. , 'Nov. 18. To the Editor of The Bee : Tho.exports of wheat from the United States during the last five years have ) een from 160,000,000 'to ' 200,000,000 bushels yearly , or an average , yearly exportation of omethlng over 160.000,000. During this same line Russia hna been exporting more largely ban ever before and the ( same Is true of Argentine. The requirements of the Importing coun- rles have grown larger each year , both roiu on Increase in population and a do- rcaEO of a cultivation of wheat. The and In such countries' ' being more profitably used for the production of vegetables and ther crops. The government'estimate of the 1890 crop of wheat for the United States Is 394,000- 00 bushels , other high authorities place It t 425,000,000 bushels. The best author- ! les generally agree that the requirements or food and egd of the United States are not ess than 370,000,000 bushels per annum. This would leave an exportable surplus from ur last crop of 55,000.000 bushels. The vl - bio supply on July 1 , last , was 47.000,000 msholti. Allowing 40,000,000 bushels of his for export and 15,000,000 bushels from ho Invisible supply wo have a possible ex portable surplus for this fiscal year of 110- 100,000 bushels. This amount It must be cmembered could not bo spared without re- uclng our visible and Invisible supply tea a lower point than It has been during this generation , and this could not bo brought about without a jirlco far la exccua ol any recent price for wheat being bid for the last 25,000,000 or 30,000,000 hushels. During the last five months wo have ex ported over 70,000,000 bushels , which leaves only a possible 40,000,000 bushels of export able wheat to supply cxportatlons for the next seven months. This Is only a llttlu over 1,000,000 bushels a week and our weekly exports are now running at 3,000,000 bushels or more , while enough wheat Is now owned In this country by foreigners that to already contracted for shipment to cause the exports to continue at 3,000,000 bushels per week for several weeks In the future. It would seem as though the time had come when any person owning wheat In the United States would bo very foolish to sell It at prtsent prices , as higher prices In the not far distant future , and , Indeed , much higher prices Inside of six months are In all rea son as certain to come as anything In the future can be predicted. Europe Is practically forced to have largo quantities of wheat from the United'States before another general harvest. There are no other exporting countries that can make up to her the deficiency In our own produc tion. Russia's crop Is admittedly much smaller than her 1895 or 1S94 crop , and while she can be a liberal exporter of wheat she cannot supply as much as Europe has been getting from her of late years , without drawing her supplies down to a minimum point. Argentine Is complaining of drouth and locusts and her exports for the next year will certainly not exceed her late yearly exports , but are more certain to bo smaller In volume.
