OMAHA BANK TOS THE SUIT' ' Intervenes to Oorabit a Kimball & Champ Trust Deed , PREFERRED CREDITORS GET A SETBACK .Supremo Court I'pliolilN tlio DcclNlon of .ItnlKO Maoy In Sottlnu ; Axlilo tlu > lli-tMl rnvorliiK Hie Kantorn lltmUiTN. Word was received yesterday from Dee MoltiM to the effect that the supreme court ot the Htate had afllrmcd the decision of the lower court In the case of A. T. Hlwoll agalnit Klmball & Champ , the First Na tional bank of Omaha , Inturvenor. The find ing establishes the claim of the Intervening bank to the amount of $18,000 and Interest agaliMt property valued at $25,000. When Klmbull & Champ failed In July , 1S92 , they gave a trust deed for about $20,000 against a lot of city and farm property to secure their eastern correspondents , to whom they were heavll > Indebted. This deal disposed of a largo amount of their available assets and the First National bank attached for Its claim. A similar action was taken by J. Sullivan for a claim for $500 , which ho held agaliiht the firm. When Mr. 121\\ell as trustee ; filed suit to foreclose the mortgage given by Klmball & Champ to secure their eastern creditors , the bank Intervened to set aside the trust deed. The case was tried before Judge Macy , who decided In favor ot the Intervenors. The case was appealed "and fought hard , but the ho'dlnc ' of tun lower court was affirmed. The setting aside of the trust deed will bring the mortgaged property subject to the claims ot the attach ing creditors. The entire day In the district court was taken up in the hearing of the cano of Pcycko Hi others against John T. Hnzen , sheriff , and others. The suit Involves the stock ot Marcus Marks & Co. , commission men who failed hero some time ago. The Council Hluffs Grape Growers' association attached the clock after It had been re- plevincd by the Omaha firm and the suit Is against the Council Dluffs parties for the wrongful suing out ot the attachment pro- ccedtugs nnd the confiscating ot the goods. Ono of the witnesses failed to uliow up latu In the afternoon when wanted and the hearing was continued until this morning. A. J. Stephenson , as guardian of Thomas Fox , has brought suit against J. J. Mass and others to recover a tract of land In this county purchased years ago from the Chicago cage , Hock Island & Pacttlc Railroad com pany. The petition states that In 1ST3 Thomas Fox entered Into an agreement with the railroad for the purchase of the land. In October of the same year , Thomas Fox , Jr. , secured a deed to the land from the rail road company by misrepresentations and without authority , his father being Insane at the time. The son mortgaged the land In 1879 and It was finally sold at sheriff's sale In 1SD1 to Mam , the present defendant. Last month the guardian secured a deed to the land from the railroad company by comply ing with all the agreements of the original contract , made In 1873. The action brought by him yesterday Is to set aside the sheriff's deed and allow his charge to redeem the land from any tax claims that may be against It. During the time It was owned by the son It was sold for taxes and this claim the plaintiff states he Is ready to liquidate. Julia A. Harding has brought suit against Mury Ann Lacy to foreclose n mortgage amounting to 1C.300 , given In 1S93. Another garnishment was served on Joslah Danforth yesterday by ono of the creditors of F.

A meeting ot the Iluslncss Men's associa tion was held at the city hall last night. The attendance was larger than It has been for some time , and on Interesting session took place. Secretary Judaou reported that the membership had grown since the last meeting from sixty-five to ninety-six , and the 100 mark was expected to be reachel soon. Mr. Judson also reported that the protective branch of the organization uas growing rapidly , and had now a membership of pcventy. The purpose of this organiza tion is to keep a fijstemtitlc check on the credit of the merchants' customers and for the collection of bad accounts. The cpieatlon of reducing the number of elections was discussed , and a resolution uan adopted favoring a consolidation of the city and county elections. It was also brought out at the meeting that ono of the special policemen appointed , had a bad record , and that proof had been shown that ho bad served three terms In the penitentiary. I ) . W. Keller and Charles Swalno were ap pointed a committee to ava Mayor Carson and reque.1t that ho Investigate the charges made against the man , nnd al o to urge that no'io but men of good character bo entrusted with commissions as special policeman.

Christian Straub , owner of n block of bus- lne a houses on Main street , applied for per mission of the city engineer yesterday to make a eotcmatlc ttcarch for the old leak that has been the cause of a great deal of expense and vexation to the tenants , Uio o-vncr end the city council. A force of men were put to work digging up the sewer In the alley In the rear of the bui Jlng yester day morning. The nllcy was paved thirteen yeara ago , and U distinguished as being the first bit of paving rver laid In the city. A nine-Inch tile sewer wns laid at the time , nnd has been In use nlnco. Three years aftci' the work was done a stream of water made Its appearance In the bcsemcnt of the building occupied by Groneucg & Schocnt- gcn. as a wholesale grocery , and that little stream has been the source ever since of continuous contention between Mr. Ptraub and the varloiw city councils. Mr. Straub contends the water comis from a leak In the sewer , and the various city engineers and others who have examined It. claim that It Is a product ot nature in the shape of a generous spring that has gushed forth. The sewer In chlelly used to cirry awny the water from the roofs of the brink bloska that line the alley for Its enthu distance , nnil Straub claims that It Is too small to do Its work. The buslnesn block Is being damaged by the water , and Innumerable propositions have been made to the council to remedy "ho defect. These have been Ignored , and the threatened suits have not bt-en brought. The matter has now ivaehed an aouto stage. To disprove Straub's ciu'.o , the city has had the water analyzed rcpeMedly , nnd-car-h test has shown It to be fairly good spring water. Yesterday Straub made a proposition to the city , by which ho agrce-s to dig up the sewer , and If the water Is found to come from a spring , all of the expenses will bo berne by him. Ifl comes from the hewer the city will bear the expense , and will then bo likely to be cskcd to settle a heavy bill ot damages for the rciA > Ir ot the building. The aldermen are watching the work with a good deal of Interest. New tests of the water were made yesterday , and no pewago matter was shown. This has encouraged the aldermen to rely confidently upon the claim that It Is a spring , and not a defective sewer pipe that has o long been the cause of strained relatlonn between Mr. Straub and the city.

The present state law governing the elections In cities of the first and second classes requires the regular city elections to bo held In the first Monday In March. and school elections two weeks later. The mayor believes there are too many elections In this country at the best , and the dual spring contests might easily be merged \vJth the regular fall elections. Ho believes that If the proper effort Is made such a bill can bo enacted Into a law at the coming special session of the state legislature. Yesterday ho sent the following letter to the mayors of all the cities affected : The council of this city has adopted n resolution requesting our senator and rep- sentatlves to urge the consolidation of our annual elections , that Is tnorslng city , school and rnunty elections. Wo Ilnd the several elections great burden , besides the necessary friction that preoulca each election. I shall bo pleased to have your views upon the proposition , and If It meets your approval that you rail the attention of your council to the matter to the end that If deemed practical that your members of the legislature lit the special session soon to convene will Join with us In promot ing what seems to us heio a needed eco nomic nform.

Some time ago tie council ordered a side walk laid on the cast Mdo of Twentieth ytrcct , from Missouri avenue to J street , and Contractor llannon went to work nnd put down pait of the walk , when ho was re quested to flop by the owners of the property , who live In Omaha. It was rcprercntcd to Haunon that a delay of only a few days \yau aske-l , In order to allow attorneys time to look up authorities and ece If the council had a right to compel the- owner of unimproved piupciiy to lay n sidewalk. Work was stopped and cltlzcna In that vicinity were consider ably annoyed en account of rumors to the effect t'-at the Omnhn owners did not Intend to put down the walk. All of the local prop erty-owners having complied with the or dinance , they naturally thought wmethlng was wrong. After n delay ot yovcral weeks the matter was brought to the attention of the proper city nuthoililes and orders have been given the contractor to go ahead wltli the laying of the walk.

There arc many thincrs in the gteat book of life ; that every woman ought to know and that few women do know. Every woman in the world ought to know all about hir own physical make-up. She should have a copy of Doctor Pierce's Common Sense Medical Adviser. It is a handsomely illui-tratecl volume of a thousand p.itjes , sevcril chapters of which arc devoted to the productive physiology of women. It is written in plain IniiKuape , and contains over three hundred illustra tion' ) and colored plates. It is now offered , paper-bound , absolutely free to any woman who will send twenty-one cents in one-cent stampi to cover the cost of mailing only to Dr. R. V. Pierce , Buffalo. N Y. If hand- .some , substantial , French clnlli binding is desired , send ten cents extra , thirty-one cents In all. A woman ought to know the vital importance of health. She ought to know that nothing can make her so miser able , or so useless in the world , ns disease anil weakness of the organs distinctly femi nine. She ought to know that this disease and weakness can he prevented nnd can be cured by the use of Dr. Pierce's 1'avorite Prescription. There are three times in a woman's life when lliisgrcat remedy roaches its best usefulness when the gill becomes a woman when the woman becomes a mother and when the capacity for mother hood ceases. At lhe.sc times the import ance of a perfectly hculthy'conOiUon of her system is of the greatest importance. "The I < avoritc Prescription " ii a puiifying , cura tive , tonic , which works mreetiy ; on one set of organs , ami on no other. It cures when doctors fail , and it' ' > etlrcs without the humiliating examinatiotm and local treatment , so invariably iijfjUud upon by physicians. It will cure any case of bo- called "female complaint.
