BILL HAS PASSED THROUGH BOTH HOUSES Auditor MnltlicwM linn Spoilt the AVeeU In DC * MolneM In Order In Save Pnttinuitdmile Count- from Itef u n ill it iv niKlitj'I'll on in ml. County Auditor Matthews baa been In DCS Molnes marly all week quietly wet king to secure the pasc.tgo of a legalizing act to remedy a defect In the stntn law under which tbo county boatd hm been X"vylng the 1V4 mill poor lax. It has been discovered within the last few weeks that this tax has been Illegally levied for n number of years , and that the county was liable to bo called upon to tcfund it. At least JSO.OOO was In volved , and If the county had been obliged to refund It a situation would have been presented that would have been very unpleas ant. Attorney General Rcinley announced an opinion n few days ago that practically settled the question In favor of the county's liability , The county board at once took steps to protect the treasury fioin the raids that were certain to follow , as they followed a ulmtlar decision when the board went be yond Its powers and levied IV4 mills too much and had to refund over ? CO,000. The members of the Pottnuattarnln county dele gation In the legislature were nt ouco com municated with , the situation explained , and Couuty Auditor Matthews was scut up to the capltol to use his best efforts to procure the passage of an net legalizing the levy that had been made and taxes collected In past years. Several counties ' \\ero found to lie in the MI me unpleasant situation , and the auditor found plenty of help. The mem bers of the legislature were made acquainted with the facts , and when the bill was Intro duced tlicro was no opposition to It. A tele gram from Mr. Matthews yesterday an nounced that the bill had passed both houses. The receipt of the telegram brought a great deal of relief to the people around the court house. If the bill had failed In .Its passage It would have necessitated the 1s- suanro of bonds to cover the amount In volved. The excellent -work nt DCS Molnes will enable Auditor Matthcw to return home and enjoy the hearty reception that is being prepared for him at the court house. I1USTON STOIII2 I3ASTHK SAI.,13.

Wyman of Omaha , receiver of the defunct Iowa and Ne braska Insurance company , against a largo number of stockholders , Is being heard In tbo district court before Judge Smith. The pros pects are that the case will last several days. Tiio total amount Involved Is about $40,000. The stockholders who are defendants In the action now pending are the late Joel Eaton and George F. Wright , but a dozen other prominent men tn Council Bluffs and western Iowa are defendants to the suits. The com pany failed a number of years ago and the receiver has been endeavoring to wind up Its affaire over since. Mr. Wyman was on the stand all day yesterday , and some of his testimony was decidedly Interesting , espe cially the portion that reflected upon the financial responsibility of a number of prom inent capitalists of'Omaha and Council Bluffs. Ho testified that the total amount of bills receivable on hand when ho took charge was $58,000. Ho ndmlttdd that he had made no effort In the way of personal solicitation to collect these notes and bills , and had In fact not collected enough to pay his lawyers or any part of his own salary. The cross-examination brought out the fact that the present suit was largely for the purpose of getting money to discharge these immediate and pressing obligations.

City OIllc'InlH Ulni ! on Hear.

Yesterday the city ofllccre dined on bear steak. Keeper Lamb will have the skin tanned and made Into a rug , which will be kept as an heirloom lu the family. Much regret has been expressed at the necessity for killing the animal. Ho was already an Immense beast , and the care he was receiving and the kindliness with which ho was taking to his captivity promised that ho would be come ono of the largest of his tribe. Until ho was cruelly slashed In the nose by an unknown man In the park ono Sunday last summer ho had never shown any disposition to i.esent the handling and caresses of his friends.

City Attorney Hnzclton returned from DCS Molnes yesterday after discharging the duties assigned to him by the city council at the meeting on Monday night. The work cut out for him was to Induce the legisla ture to modify the bill that Is now bending affecting the charters of all of the cities and towns In the state with the exception of the few tliat are operated under special chatters , and secure the elimination of sonio of the features that are particularly objec tionable to Council Bluffs , These were specifically pointed out In n set of strong resolutions adopted by the council at the Monday night meeting. Mr , Hazolton rc- turned very well satisfied with his work , nnd Is confident that the promises made to htm by members of both houses will bo kept nnd all or the council's objections to the bill will bo listened to nnd the sections mod ified. Ho held n conference with Senator Puscy , nnd together they drew up the amendments that nro desired. The amend ment referring to the park commissioners provides for the continuation of the com mission at a salary of $100 per year nnd Incorporates our present park law without change. All of the other features wcro like wise provided for. Mr. Hazclton thinks the legislature will not consent to modify the clause providing for biennial city elections. Thcro Is , ho says , too strong a sentiment among the members favoring fewer elections. The city of DCS Molnes appears to bo the originator and chief backer of the bill as II now stands. The chairmen of the com mittees in both houses and senate having the bill In charge are DCS Molnes men , and while they are looking out for their own city's Interests they are not Inclined to deny to any other city what It wants , provided Its Incorporation lu the general city Incorporation bill docs not aftcct the application of the law to DCS Molnes. There are nearly n half dozen of the chief cities of the state that are under special charters nnd the general law will not affect them , but Mr. Hazclton was surprised at the llttlo Interest other cities In the state sit uated similar to Council Bluffs took In the now law. If the bill passes providing for biennial elections it will mean an entire now sot of olllcers nnd members of the coun cil each election. Mr. Hazclton challenges the report tele graphed from DCS Molnes and published In the papers yesterday morning that the demo crats had hold a caucus and decided to de mand some important changes lu the manu facturing bill and kill It when It came into the house again If they were not granted. Ho says the caucus was held , but no con clusion was reached. The general feeling about the capital was that the house would concur in the senate's amendments. Wo will place on sale today a manufac turers' line of millinery trimmings , bought by our New York agent. Goods were re ceived late for the Easter trade , and will bo sold a * prices to close them out quick. Boston Store , Council Bluffs. The old question of exacting payment of the high license put upon hucksters and peddlers came up In the police court again yesterday , when Judge McGee fined J. Brom- berg heavily for peddling apples from his wagon without a license. The license ban been fixed at $75 a year If an annual license Is taken out , and a much higher rate for transients. Bromberg claimed to bo unable to make his living and altogether unable to pay the heavy license required. It was the second time Bromberg has been placed under arrest for violation of this ordinance , and Judge McGee made the fine an exemplary one. There Is a great deal of dissatisfaction with the law among a largo number of the hucksters , and numerous attempts have been made to have it modified. It was asserted yesterday that a strong petition would soon bo presented to the council asking for a re duction of the license. - Mimic for Ennter Siiiidaj- .

NOT SATISFIED WITH THE DINGLLY BILL M nn lie , Cnrtcr , Shou'ti , AVnrrrn anil Hurrou * Tlinnr MOM Priiniliicnlly Comivctcil , with the I'm- WASHINGTON , April -Wcstorn sena tors , after several cotjfer'&iccB , have rcachei an agreement to stand' together for Important changes In the wool schedule of theDlnglcy 1)111. The senators most prominently Iden tified with the movement are Messrs. Man tle , Carter , Slio\ip , Warren and Burrows They have not only agreed upon a line ol amendments , but liavo decided to Insist on their Inclusion In the bill. The proposed amendments nro directed mainly to closlnc the many loopholes for evasions and fraiH which wool men igrco abound In the Dlngloy bill , and wcro also found In the SIcKlnlcy law. law.An An amendment was agreed upon providing that an additional duty of 4 cents per pound should bo levied upon skirted wools as Imported In 1S90 and prior to that lime. The principal change , however , to be proposed , Is upon wool and'camels' hair of the third class. The Dlngley bill proposes an ad valorem duty of 32 cents and G8 cents respectively , upon wools of this class , valued under and over 13 cents per pound. It Is proposed now to strike out of the Dlngley bill clauses relating to third class wools and to Insert Instead the following : On v.-ools of the third bliisn nnd camels' ' hnlr of the third clans , the vnlue of which shall bo S cents or less per pound In the wool markets of the United States , thp duty shall be li cents per pound ; nnd on nil the wools nnd hnlr of this clnsR , the value of which shall exnced 8 ccntH per pound in the general markets of the United States , there slmll bo nn nddltlonnl duty of onc-ltnlf of 1 cent per pound for ouch Increnso of 1 cent per pound In the value thereof. It Is claimed for this latter amendment , which Is the most Important of all the amendments proposed , that It will largely prevent the frauds which It Is alleged were perpetrated on the ml valorem duties under the McKlnlcy law , by reason of which' , It Is asserted , hundreds of millions of pounds of wool used In the manufacture of clothIng - Ing which properly belonged In the first class , were Imported at third-class rates on the representation that they were to bo used In making carpets. The clause In the proposed amendment relating to third-class wools , designating the general markets of the United States as fixing the value of Imported wools , Is regarded as very Impor tant , as It the same amendment Is adopted is will destroy the opportunity for under valuation which now exist. Other precautions will also , bo urged to this end , such as defining the meaning of classifications so as to prevent restrictions such as have heretofore been used. For In stance , the words Angora , Adrlanople , Hag- dad , etc. , will be defined as indicating a class of wool regardless of the special dis trict In which It Islftrown. Senator Mantle - tlo , who introduced the memorial of the National Wool Growers' "association In the senate , says the amctulmeVit does not nearly cover the demand made' by the association , but in his opinion will We a vast Improve ment over the bill as It passed the house. It will remain with the western senators. he says , to say whether the proposed amendments shall become a part of the now tariff law , or whether the demands of the wool manufacturers 4s applied to wool " shall outweigh thoseVw"of'tne | wool growers themselves. \ > t PLAN FOIl SKXATE. COMMITTEES. Committee VotfH to "Accept " P tloii -Dcmocratx. . WASHINGTON , April" 10. The committee on committees of 'tll'd * senate 'today agreed unanimously to accept , so" ' far as It Is em powered to do BO , th6 proposition made by the democrats for the organization of the senate committees. Accordingly a caucus will bo held at 10 o'clock Monday morning. The proposition -which the committee has agreed to accept provides that the republicans shall fill all the committee places which were filled by republican senators during the last con gress , Including the chairmanships vacated by republicans , and they shall be given one additional place on the appropriations com mittee , vacated by a democrat , and that the membership of the committee on post- offices and post roads shall be Increased from nlno to ten. In order to give the democrats an additional place on that committee. This arrangement will result In leaving the re publican senators at tbo head of all the Im portant committees , but a majority of the memberships of many of them will be anti-re publican. There are Indications that the com mittee recommendation will not be received with favor by all the republican senators. COLI1Y IS HOU.XD TO FHEH CUI1A.

Bu chanan , A. II. Lee and C. L. Talbot , which went to Rapid City , S. D. , to attciid the an nual convention of the Western South Dakota Stock Growers' association , returned home yesterday. All report having had a pleasant trip. The excellent weather , largo attend ance of delegates and cattlemen and the per fect harmony throughout made It an event to bo looked back upon with pleasure by all. Previous to the formation/ / this associa tion the range stock Industry was In a very peculiar and precarious condition. The man who turned loose a bunch of stock on the open range had no protection whatever. With the strongest and clearest proof as to theft and wrong doing he was powerless to secure conviction. The honest rancher was looked upon almost as an outlaw nnd re garded very much as a trespasser upon the lands which should bo devoted to other uses. The situation was not a pleasant one to qay the least. Now the system of inspection Is so perfect that no branded animals belong ing to any member of the association can bo sent to any of the markets In this coun try nnd sold unlawfully. Other matters of great Interest to range stockmen arc favora bly affected by this organization. At one of the sessions of the convention Superintendent James L. Paxton of the Un ion stock yards was called upon for an ad dress and gave the delegates a sound , loglca talk. He predicted Increased prosperity for the cattle Industry for the coming year and gave n convincing argument to prove It. Mr Paxton said that the farmers of Iowa nnd Nebraska had large quantities of corn In the crib and that the outlook for a crop the present year was also very flattering. As a result the cattlemen were expected to furnlt-h cattle for the consumption of this vast amount of corn. Short adflrefses were also made by A. H , Leo , one of the traveling representatives 01 the Stock Yards company , and others. With out exception the South Dakota cattlemen are friendly toward the Omaha market and will ship a majority of their stock here They consider It a much better market Jlian cither Chicago or Kansas City. During the past year the membership o. the association has been Increased by the addition of 145 now members. From Chicago and South Omaha Inspection reports It wan learned that 0,178 cattle , valued at $109,737 had been recovered for the members. The association maintains Inspectors at Denver Kansas City , Sioux City , Chicago , South Omaha and the Rosebud and Pine Rldgo agencies. Members of the association are gratified at the passage of a law by the legislature pro viding for the registration of stock brands which , when thoroughly established , will prevent confusion and litigation over brands. Next Tuesday the Montana Cattlemen's association will meet In convention nt Miles City , Mont , , and a delegation from the local exchange will attend the sessions. Council Will Stand 1'nt. Attorneys whoso opinion has been asked on the subject assert that the mayor has no right to veto a resolution , and produce section 21 of the city charter to substantiate tholr statements. The section referred to Is headed , "Dulles of the Mayor , " and can be found on page 2CO of the charter , and Is as follows : "Tho mayor shall have the power to sign or veto any ordinance passed by the city council nnd to sign or veto any order , by-law , resolution , award of or vote to enter Into any contract , or the allowance of any claim ; provided , that any ordinance , order , by-law , resolution or vote to enter Into any claim vetoed by tbo mayor may bo passed over his veto by a , vote of two-thirds of all the members elected to the council , notwith standing his veto , and should the mayor neglect or refuse to sign any ordinance and return same with hJs objection In writing at the. next regular meeting of the council the same shall bccomo a law without his signature. " It will thus bo seen that Mayor Knsor had no right under the law to veto the resolu tion passed by the city council Tuesday night designating The Omaha Kvenlng IIpo as the paper In which applications for liquor li cense shall bo printed.
