JAMES AND MILLER ARE SATISFIED Were Stilus ? for DmiiiifteN for Illegal Detention , hut Sity The- Have lleen I'nlil n Sum of Money UN ConitieiiNiillon. In the district court yesterday there was n surprise for the attorneys who are look ing after the Interests of Sheriff Morgan In three damage suits brought against him by Miller , James and Kcllcy , three men who sued for Illegal arrest and detention. Thrlr claims aggregate over | 20,000 and the case 1ms been pending since last sum mer. The cases of James and Miller wcro set for trial yesterday , and when they wcro called up the attorneys for the sheriff sprang a surprise on the prosecution by making a motion to dismiss on the ground that the cases had been settled out of court. In support of the motion they submitted statements signed by the two men that each had been paid a satisfactory amount and that they wcro willing to have the cases dismissed at their cost. The. attorney for the plaintiffs asked a lltllo tlmo to Investi gate. The Invcstlgnilon was In Ihe shape of nn animated conversation with Miller , nnd In a short time Miller had changed his views about the settlement. He returned to the court room with his attorney and an affidavit that the settlement was obtained by fraud , and that when ho signed the agreement ho did not know Its contents. The affidavit also stated that he had re ceived the sum of $5 for signing the paper that had been presented to him , and the attorney also stated that the man's wlfo had been given $20 to withdraw her opposi tion to his signing the settlement. The at torney made the affidavit the basis of a motion to strike out the defendant's motion to dismiss. The Incident created a good deal of In terest among the attorneys who were pres ent , and they pro awaiting the decision of the court , who took the matlcr under advise ment until this morning. Deputy Sheriff Compton. who was the of ficial mainly responsible for the arrests , was the one who procured the settlements , and neither ho nor his attorneys feel that ho did anything that was In the least discred itable. Ho claims that ho simply presented the matter to the men In a favorable light and easily satisfied their wants. The damage suits grew out of the arrests of the men last February , at.d was brought about by the olllclousnesa of Bob Scott , a fellow who had been an Inmate of the jail on many occasions , and was serving the last days of his last sentence , enjoying the cus tomary privileges accorded to a "trusty. " It was a short time after the arrest of J. D. Alexander for wholocalo robbery of freight cars In the yards of the Hock Island Rail way company. Scolt was well acquainted with the men and on Sunday afternoon , February 1(1 ( , claimed ho saw them In the net of robbing a freight car and followed Miller to his home , where ho saw him de posit his stolen goods. Ho also declared ho saw James and KcIIey doing the same thing at the same time , and watched them take the stolen goods to their homes. He re turned to the county Jail and told Deputy Sheriff Compton his story. The officer at oneo remarked that the men must bo ar rested. Scott walled for nothing more , and after procuring a large revolver Imagined himself a properly constituted officer to make the arrest. He went to the house of one of the men and placed him under ar rest. In doing so ho nourished his revolver and terrorized the family , nearly frighten ing the wlfo to death. The man accompan ied Scott to the county Jail , and he was kept there until Deputy Sheriff Compton arrived with the other man. When confronted by the men Scott's story lost much of Its vivacity , nnd ho finally backed squarely down. Kclloy had been brought In In the meantime , nnd the men were detained from twenty minutes to an hour , when they wcro permitted to go. Sheriff Morgan was out of town at the time and his deputy ne glected to protect himself by having Scott swear to an Information. Each of the men brought suit against the sheriff , his deputy and their bondsmen. Judge Thorncll's ruling on the case -when the court convenes this morning IB awaited with considerable Interest. JENET CHANGES HIS PLEA. Emll Jenct , the Belgian baker who got Into trouble on account of his penchant for signing other men's names to bank checks , appeared before Judge Thorncll yesterday morning and asked to have the plea of not guilty , which ho entered to the charges against him , set aside and the plea of guilty substituted. Ho was accommodated and sent back to Jail to await his sentence nnvf K.ltiinlnv Judgment was granted In the case of Frank P. Wright against the Twin City Steam Dye Works for ? 20 damages as the result of the spoiling of a child's cloak while It was undergoing the process of dyeing. The case was appealed from a justice's court. Judgment was rendered on a note for ? 330 , dated April 2C , 1895 , In Iho case of R. L. Lyman against C. W. Miller. Judge Smith yesterday rendered a decision In the case of the Fred Miller Brewing com pany against the Council Bluffs Insurance company , sustaining the judgment against the Insurance company , allowing Interest and costs. It was a foreign judgment , and was brought hero on transcript. Its value Is problematical , as the Council Bluffs Insur ance company has long since ceased to exist and Its' affairs are supposed to have been wound \ip , as far as the courts and the In surance department of the state can do so. Judge Smith also handed down his de cision In the case of Ernest A. Itlncr against Martin Ittncr. The latler was appointed by the district court of Douglas county , Ne braska , guardian of the minor heirs of Ben jamin Ittncr , deceased. The property held In trust for the heirs was located In Potla- wattamlo county. Iowa , and Ittner was never appointed guardian or custodian under the Iowa laws. This did not deter him from goIng - Ing ahead an I conveying some of the lands to W. C. Thomas , receiving $ GOO for the property. The money wns accounted for to Iho Douglas county court. Thomas In turn sold the land , and now the heirs sue for the recovery of It. Judge Smith hold that the sale to Thomas was Illegal , and that the use of the land by Thomas had been a suf ficient recompense for the amount ho paid for It , and a decree was rendered giving It to Ernest Ittner.

Strong pressure la being brought upoit the legislature from all parts of the state to compel a modification of the mulct prohibi tory law , to permit the making of at least a part of the beer and wine that Is sold and drunk In this state. Both city and county officers are taking an Interest In the pro posed chap ' Uolh have Interests In com mon , but clab.i In one feature of the changes sought to bo made. Til' , city offlclala have entered ths league compcned of all the prin cipal cities In the itatc. whoso object Is to have the law so changed that It will permit the cities to gtt all of the money derived from saloon licenses. Under Iho mulct law , which fixes the license throughout the state at $50 a month , one-half ot It goes to the county and the other to the city. The Boarl of County Supervisors favors the division plan end opposes the project of the cities to get all of the money. The member. ? of the city council have all put themselves on record In favor of thin change , and It Is In- llmaled that the supervisors will take the opposite course and will have the biipport of tbo farmers. They will also have the sup port of the temperance organizations and Iho churches. The Missionary and Ladles' so cieties of the Second Presbyterian church Is lhe\ first organized body In the city to take the Initiative In opposition to the modification of the law , and yester day Its members met and adopted resolutions which will bo sctit to the Pottawatamle rep- rcsenallvca lu DCS Molnea.

Trouble Ainont ; llrlilKc Ilullilem. George C. Wise was arrested yesterday afternoon upon a complaint filed by W. H. Kncphcr , charging him with assault and battery. Both men arc well known In town , and tha trouble grew out of a clash of bus iness Interests. Mr. WIse has long been connected with the Milwaukee Bridge com- .pany , the company that was awarded the county bridge work by the Board of Super visors at their autumn meeting , and Kncphcr represents a rival company that sought the contract. Knepher's company was awarded the contract by the city to repair the North Sixth street bridge. There was some criti cism of the work after It was finished , and bad blood was engendered. Wise nnd Knepher met ye&terday , and a conversation was followed by n blow and the arrest. Jus tice Vlen , before whom the complaint was lodged , set the hearing a long ways off to let the men have ampletlmo to regain their equanimity before they meet again. 1III-IIN' lllrthilny.

( Special Tele gram. ) The conference committees of house and senate met thin afternoon to consider plans of handling the code. It developed that the lawyers on the committee were fearful - ful of making the code unconstitutional It whole titles were Introduced as single bills. The constitution provides that no bills shall relate to moro than one subject. Last win ter cede bills were Introduced by titles and the point was never raised. After the con ference today It was decided that bills would have to bo Introduced for every subject , and that they shall bo characterized as "a bill for an act to amend , revise and codify" the laws In relation to , etc. Thin will necessi tate the division of the code Into an Immense number of bills , and will complicate com mittee work. The proceedings of the houses today were brief. In the afternoon the house passed several minor bills for code revision that had been reported last winter. A resolution was Introduced for the appointment of n committee to reduce the number of com mittee clerks. It went under the rules , anil will probably cause n fight tomorrow. The senate passed a , resolution to cut down Its number of committee clerks nearly two- thirds. It was expected thuro would bo a fight , as about twenty senators had banded together , under the lead of Ellis of Clin ton , and agreed to fight the resolution on the Moor , but when It came to the scratch they failed to make objections and the reso lution went through. An Interesting discovery today was that the constitution provides that all laws passed at special sessions shall go Into ef fect within ninety days after adjournment. This would make the now cede take effect long before It could possibly bo edited and published. To avoid this contingency , the legislature will probably , when done with the revision , adjourn to seine day late In the year , leaving an Interval long enough to edit tha now code , and then meet for dual adjournment. LOCKOUT Ol ? MIXHItS IS nXPKCTKD. Men Will Moot In Convention Totlny nnil Deliver nil Ultimatum. DES MOINES , Jan. 20. ( Special Tele gram. ) It Is almost certain there will bo a big miners' strike In this district , Involving about 2,000 miners. It Is the result of the coal war , which has compelled operators to reduce wages. Miners have been asked to accept CO cents for all coal taken out , In stead of the old scale of 80 cents for all that passes over the screen. Tno operators claim there is little difference In the two rates , but the miners declare they cannot live nt the reduced rate and will strike. The op erators say the men must take the reduced wages or bo locked out. The business Is so badly demoralized by the price cutters that all effort to conduct It at living prices has been given up. The miners will moot tomor- low In delegate convention and deliver an ultimatum , which will demand finally the restoration of the scale. The lockout Is re garded as almost assured.

From their accounts of the affair It appears that COO Insurgents , under comrrcml of Colonel Francisco de I'aulo dashed Into San Miguel de I'ardanc , Havana province , Saturday night. The Span ish garrison , consisting of 600 men , with drew without firing a shot. The Insurgents held possession of the town over three hours , looting the stores , public buildings and many of the residences occupied by Spanish families , then firing the buildings. AH ROOM as the InsurgenlH left the Inhabi tants , men , women and children , busted themselves trying to extinguish the flames and save their effects. While thus engaged the Spanish forces returned and opened fire on them. Many of the Inhabitants In their terror , rushed Into the burning houses and xvcro cremated. The Cuban report sas forty persons were killed outright , eighteen of whom wcro women and children. Sixty othc-s wcro wounded , some of them fatally. Added to the forty killed outright , those who fled Into the- burning buildings and perished nnd those who died of their wounds , neatly 100 persons fell victims. AVi-yli-r'H MOVIIUII < N. HAVANA , Jan. 20. Captain General Wcy- Icr arrived yesterday nil San Jose do la Jao , In Havana province. Sickness makes n raan'a hands useless. General and nervous debility holds him down just as surely as n great weight. He feels that he is down , but he hasn't strength tor en- crgy enough to get up again. His whole body seems tired out. His head is heavy. All effort is distasteful. He is as tired in the morning- he was when he went to bed. The sleep he gets is heavy , dreamful , and unrefreshiiifr. His body is full of turgid , healthless , impure blood. lie is subject to headaches niul dizziness nnd palpitation of the heart nt the least exertion. He is on the direct road to rcrious sickness. Few meu appreciate how serious is their case when they say : "Oh , there is nothing the matter with me. My blood is n little out of order ; that is all. " Pure blood is essential to life. The more Impure it becomes , the htronger hold disease has on the system. If , instead of containIng - Ing health-Riving , life-giving properties , the blood is full of disease-breeding impurities , how is the daily waste of the tissues to be replaced ? It is perfectly natural that the man will lose vitality and nerve force that he will lose flesh and vigor. He will be useless - less to himself and to even-one else. Impure blood comes from perfectly rea sonable causes , and if the proper measures are taken , it is easy to purify it. Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery is the gieatest blood-purifier that was ever known. , It is more than this. It is a cleanser and invigorator - orator for the whole system. It strengthens - ens the digestion , works directly on the liver , restoring it to healthy , normal ac tion. It soothes nnd strengthens the nerves , makes assimilation easy and nu trition perfect. It drives all impurity out of the blood , and substitutes just the ma terial needed to bring the whole body back to the highest state of life. \Vhcu constipation Is one of the symptoms of debility , Or.
