The committee on police and health In the city council which was ordered by the council I- at the last meeting to look Into the matter of burying dead chickens and ascertain If the bill presented for last month was not too largo has madn some discoveries. Yes terday Scavenger Nelson's wagon picked up fourteen dead chickens within thrco hours. They wcro found In the business portion of the city , and chiefly In the alleys. One of the discoveries was that several com mission men In tlio city have found It to be more convenient and ICFS expensive to throw the dead fowls that accumulate In the course of the day's business into the alleys Instead ot diking them away and burying them. Some ruin will doubtless bo recommended by the committee that will cover such cases. It was also ascertained that the owners of barnyard fowls have been disposing of their dead birds and other animals In the same manner. The ordinance does not permit this use of the streets and alleys and a severe penalty Is attached to its violation. The committee will bo able to fully exonerate the scavenger and give a definite answer to Alderman Casper's query , "What's the matter with Iho chickens ? " Fum-riil of William .Sniltli.

Tl ho- DEBT OF CITY -IN QUESTION Injunction Suit Brines Up a Matter Important to Oitizans. SII-A SAYS LEGAL LIMIT HAS BIEN PASSED AnUn JtiilKo ( irccn to Provi-iit tin1 INMIIIIIIIMof I'lirllicrVitrnmli or ( lie I'nJIMi-n ( of Ituiiili 181)5. J. J. Shea , who has not been before the public slnco his whirl with the saloon keepers , when ho posed as their special Nemesis , reappeared yesterday with another application for an Injunction. This time It Is against the whole city. Ho applied to Judge Green for an order restraining the mayor , all of the members of the city coun cil , the auditor anJ the treasurer from Issu ing any moro warrants or paying any of the bonds that have been 'Issued elncc January 1 , 1S05. The petition Is brief. It begins by reciting that Mr. Shea Is a citizen and taxpayer of the city , and that the city has been doing and contemplates still doing- things In con nection with Its financial affairs that are Illegal. Thcso things are specifically set forth In the numerous paragraphs. The first paragraph contains the assertion that the bonded Indebtedness at the present time Is far lit excess oC the. legal limits , ami recites that the valuation of city property for taxa- tlcn purposes In 1804 was ? 3,357,2G8 ; In 1805 , it was $ I,9SS,81S ; In 1S9C , It was $4,914,894 , and In 1897 It was J 1,568,398. A statement of thu city's Indebtedness on October 1 , 1897 , lii appended as follows : General fund warrants ( H2,509.cn Hpoclal fund warrants 72.12 Water fund warrants ' . . ! > 3,3ri.OO General bondfl 101.4W.OO Intutsectlon sewer bonds fif.OCO.OO Intersection grading ! bonds 32.50J.OO Intersection paving- bonds 148,500.00 Special assessment suwtr bonds. . . . 7iOO.uO Spe-clal assessment grading bonds. . 0,010.00 Special assessment paving bonds. . . Gj.OOKO Total Indebtedness fC3aC5C.7S Section 2 , article xxlx , of the constitution of Iowa is quoted to show that no city or political corporation can contract Indebted ness In excess of 5 per cent of taxabe value , and the fact Is pointed -out that under this provision only $243,744.70 can be collected annually In taxes , and ho shows that the city Is consequently Indebted at the present time tho-sum of $390,912,08 In excess ot the legal llni'its. Paragraph Ix asserts that the city Is about to ullou and order paid large sums of money and sign wanants in excess of tlio legal Indebtedness ; that Uic city auditor Is about to IBSUO and Is daily Issuing warrants In excess of the legal debt ; that the city treasurer is dally paying warrants and claims against the city which are Illegal and void because they have been Issued In excesa of the legal limits of Indebtedness , He asks the court to permit the case to huvo a speedy hearing and to issue an order defining the kind of notice that shall be given to the defendants , and that at Mils .hearing a temporary writ bo Issued unjoining the city and all the officials from making any more contracts or ssulng any moro warrants or other evidences of Indebtedness to pay current expenses , or any of the matured or maturing obligations of the city contracted slnco January 1 , 1S95. DATE FOR HEARING FIXED. The application was submitted to Judge Green during the morning session , and he made an order setting the case for hear ing on November 15 , and directed that per sonal notice bo served upon each cf the defendants within five days prior to the hearing. The filing of the petition attracted a great deal of Interest , especially among the city officers. The heads of departments were at first Inclined to take the matter as a sort of Joke , but when they examined 'Into It they began to realize what a serious matter It Is. The first consequence would bo the defaulting of Hie Interest on matured bonds , and the large amount of bonds that will fall duo la a few months and for which a large sinking fund 1ms been created. Another thing would be the depreciation of the city warrants , In which all of the city's expenses are paid. The warrants have been hovering within a few cents of par for many years , and have noi been below 93 cents for a decade. "We will have no trouble controverting Shea's figures , " said one of the heads of de partments. "The assertion that the city has exceeded Its legal limit of indebtedness is not true. Shea has Included In this statement all of the special as sessment bonds , which are not prop erly a part of the city's bonded debt , although some of them have been guaranteed. They arc obligations against the property of the citizens whose streets have been Im proved , and are as much a part of their per sonal debts as the mortgages some of them owe on their houses. If Shea could succeed In securing such a restraining order it would damugo the city'o credit and do mischief that would be difficult to repair. The same thing was tried once before , and the defense of the city was held to be good. The finan cial status of the city Is better than It has ; been for many years and Is constantly Im ' proving. Taxes w'cre lower last year than they were ever before and they will bo still lower this year. Comparative statements fi-how that the city taxes In Council Bluffs are lower than i a majority of the towns and cities of the west. Wo made some bad mistakes with cedar block paving , but so did other cities. The taxpayers have no occa sion for special complaint , not so much as the sal.on keepers of the city have against Mr. Shea , and no one ban any occasion to call for an Injunction. " Inquiry at the city offices disclosed the fact that about all of the warrants for the month's expenses have been drawn and Blgned , and Auditor Evans thought ho could manage to get the remainder ot them out before the 10th tnst.

'I'lili-vrx , Ono of the new laws that came Into operation with the enactment of the now cede Is what Is known as the petty habitual criminal act and It Is ono ot the laws that are looked upon with a great deal of favor by police officers. One of the most annoy , ing classes of criminals the officers have to deal with is the potty thieves who never steal enough at nno tlmo to constitute grand larceny and Incur the danger of con viction of a felony and who never let an opportunity pass to steal any llttlo thing that a mieak thief can find. There are many In this city who have been convicted scores of times for this class of minor offenses and to whom a term of thirty days In the city or county pall has no terrors. Under the now law the third conviction for petty larceny may bo made to constitute a felony , for which the grand Jury must return an Indictment. To secure a conviction in the district court and sentence to a term In the penitentiary no proof of the culprit's guilt of the minor offenses la required , The records of the police or Justice courts that ho has been convicted three times Is all that is necessary , and a conviction and sentence must follow the presentation of the faots to the higher court. There are several chronic cases In Council Bluffs where this law will bo Invoked , and It Is not Im probable that the next grand Jury will have Its attention called to s ine of them.

The Tmnsmlsstsslppl Exposition cammltte held Its regular Thursday evening meeting and luncheon last evening. A good part o the meeting wcs devoted to the discussion the meeting was derated to the discussion o to decide upon the sort of exposition but ton to be selected. The committee rcportci that Is bad 'been In conference with Secre tary Judion , and had been corresponding with the manufacturers of such goods. They asked that the report be not considered as formal and desired to have more * tlmo give ) them. They were allowed until November it to reach a positive conclusion and make a final report. Secretary Judson 'stated that the styles of buttons submitted had not been altogether satisfactory , and that the coin- nil tteo had not been able to secure an > figures from the makers ot such a button as they wanted. The d'cslgn that waa most favorably regarded was a bronze medallion showing' an Indian head. The members generally regarded the 'button scheme asn good one , and Dr. Cleaver was especially enthusiastic In Us favor. Mr. Keys also thought It was a good plan to push tlic button , and believed that It would result in bringing In several thousand dollars. A resolution was submitted' by Dr. Cleavdrand approved declaring It to bo thoysense ol the general committee that theN buUon scheme should bo adopted 'before the com mittee made Its report at the next meeting , and that the buttons should be placed on sale and sold to raise money to build the big wigwam on the exposition grounds. It Is very likely tint the bronze Indian head will bo the design finally adopted. It Is the opInK-n of the members that enough money can be raised by the sale of the totem ot the Pottawottamles to defray the cost of the tepee and pay a largo portion of the ex pense of the proposed exhibit. On this line General Teat presented this resolution , which was laid over until the next meeting ; Whereas , Douglas county. Nebraska , has voted to appropriate J1CO.OOO for a county exhibit at the Transmlssloalppl Exposition , wo believe that Council Bluffs , us the larg est city In western Iowa , and PoUawut- tamle county , the largest county In the state of Iowa , should bo fittingly rep resented with nn exhibit In keeping with their respectable standing In this Htate. Whereas , Thcro are nonresident property holders In this city mid county who will de rive nn equal benefit from the labors of resident property holders , we feel that they should bear nn equal portion of the ex pense. He-solved , In order to have the ? city and county appropriately represented by a fredltulilti exhibit , that the city council and the county supervisors be requested to urant or arrange for an appropriation of $ . " ) ,003 each for the city nnd county for sut-h exhibit , the piine to bo expended under the charge of tills association with proK > r safe guards or otherwise as the council and supervisors may determine. The president , secretary and finance committee of this as sociation , through Its chairman , are In structed to bring this matter before the council and board of supervisors without delay.

Fred Herman , a husky young fellow 23 years old , was given lodgings in the city building night before last , and after a good breakfast yesterday morning was sent on his way to hunt for the job he had been seeking all over the country. Within twenty minutes after he left the building he had stolen on overcoat from Marcus' clothing store. The' police were given the word and half an hour later had caught him near the transfer with the new coat under his arm. He was brought back in time to be arraigned at the morning session of the police court , and was given a sentence of thirty days In the county Jail. On Monday Herman was liberated from the Omaha city Jail where he had been held fdr several days as a fugitive from Justice. He liad broken Jail in some town In. South Da- kola , and the officers of the place came to the conclusion that they did not want him bad enough to pay the expense of his return.

Judge Green had a llttlo talk with the members of the grand Jury In an official way yesterday and took occasion to charge them that among their duties they should not overlook their obligations to return Indictments against any gamblers or owners of Rambling houses they might hear of In the city. He said his at tention had been called to the report that there wcro such houses In Uie city and he charged the grand Jury to investigate tha rumors. The grand Jurors will scarcely be likely to disregard the caution and sugges tions of the court and It Is very probable that there will bo some Indictments found that will have especial 'Interest to the men of the green cloth.

An thony to the home1 of her ancestors In the Berkshire hills , relates the Rochester Chron icle , that the house party assembled In the long , old-fashioned parlor one evening , the rain , precluding any outdoor excursions. The mountain air was sharp , and n flro had been kindled In the big brick fireplace , and the logs cracked and flamed on the gleaming brass and Irons. Chairs wcro arranged In a suml-clrclo around the cheerful hearth , and seated therein were women of renown , liv ing representatives of woman's progress In the world of letters and In the lecture field. First nnd btst rnvcred was Susan 11. Anthony herself , -and ns the conditions and environ ments were Ideal for a story , n romance of the past contemporary with the surroundings , "Aunt Susan" was Importuned to relate some of her experiences. "Tell us some of your love stories , " they all cried ns ono. "IJut I never had any worth telling , " she declared. "There wasn't n bit of romance In any ot my 'affairs. ' I always said , llko the old maid , that the man I wanted wouldn't have mo , and -those that wanted mo were so bad that the dovll himself wouldn't have them. " Uut > Mlss Anthony wasn't to escape so easily , and It ended In her relating the following talc , The room -was lighted only by the flickerIng - Ing firelight , which shone on Miss Anthony's face as she talked , silhouette-like against tbo dark shadows In the background. Then she told how one tlmo when she was traveling through some western state , hold ing conventions , many years ago , when she WES not moro than 35 years old , she was en tertained nt the house of a young man who made himself particularly agreeable to her. Ho had n spnn&Ing team ot grays , and whenever - over Miss Anthony had to go to town , tills young man and his grays wcro at her dis posal. She was announced to speak In n town some miles distant , while there , and when they were all .ready . to start , this de voted young man had arranged It so that Miss Anthony was to ride with him alone In his flno turnout. After they were nicely started , ho came to the point at once with : "Will you have me ? " "What for ? " was Aunt Susan's blunt re ply. ply."Will "Will you marry me ? " the suitor contin ued. Then ho proeccded to tell her of his worldly possessions his flue house , his lands , etc. , all of which should bo at her command , If she would only take him along with them. Ho promised "Aunt Susan" that he would never stand In the way of her chosen work , but that , on the contrary , ho would help her In any way In his power to further the suf frage movement. Ho pointed out to her , with all the persuasive art which man so well knows how to use , that her life was a hard one , knocking about from pillar to post , and that It would bo much easier with him to help and comfort her. Miss Anthony listened , as women have since the first woman was tempted by the serpent , iu\d \ she concluded that her life was rather a nar-3 and Icuely one , and that 11 would bo mighty nice to have a'T.ne homo to go to when tired and weary with her ofttlmes thanklets labors. Hut she felt that she could not decide so momentous a question with so little time for serious consideration and so she told the amorous suitor. She was to be gone a wcelc at the convention , and she asked him to wait for his answer until her return , which he agreed to do. Miss Anthony did not say what her decision had been , but Imagine her surprise and dis gust to learn upon her return that the faith less swain had in the meantime married an other woman , and was even then enjoying a wedding trip with her. Yes , he did not wait for the week's probation , and the second bride , more wise than Miss Anthony had been , did not wait for bis ardor to- cool , but accepted him on the spot and married him nt once. Miss Anthony has often wondered since what her life would have been If she had done likewise. The next story was told by Mrs. Rachel Foster Avery. She chose as her subject Miss Anthony's trip abroad. This was some fifteen years ago. and Mrs. Avcry , then Miss Foster of Philadelphia , accompanied Miss Anthony to be- her "oars and tongue , " as Mrs. Avery expressed It , for Miss Anthony could speak only her native tongue and- like many another American , she didn't see why the rest of the world did not speak her own language. Miss Anthony's Intense Ameri canism was alto manifested In her use , or , more correctly speaking , her misuse of for eign titles. Dur'ag ' her travels she met peers and princes of the highest degree , but she was never for the life of her able to call them by their correct titles. And to make matters worse , she Invariably gave them a title uf lower degree than their rank demanded. For Instance , a countess she would address as "madam , " a prince or princess ce "count" or "countess , " a duke as "count , " and so on through the list. Then she never called them twlco by the same title , mixing things up In the mcst bewilder ing manner , and usually ending by calling them Mr. and Mrs. Miss Foster usually gave "Aunt Susan" lesions on the use ot titles bcforo each ot their visits , 'but ' It made no difference ; before she left the result was always the same. Ono of the most amusing Incidents hap pened while they .were In Rome. Ono of the prlnccff of the royal family to whom they had presented letters called one day to take them for a drive. She had with her a pet dog , and as Miss Foster was pas sionately fond of any eaulno specimen and Miss Anthony equally detested them , Miss Foster and the dog sat vis-a-vis to Miss \nthony rcu-ilic princess. Dog-like , the little animal , from the eafo shelter of the car riage , chased across the scat from one side o the other and over Miss Foster , to bark at every dog that It saw on the street. In ho mcrntlmn Miss Foster was thus occupied with the dog. Ml Erf Anthony was entertaining the rlncess and vice versa , The latter could speak English , and so they got along very ilcely , but for Miss Anthony's mis-concep- Ion of the title. She addressed the princess as "counters , " "ladyrVI "duchess , " end even 'Mrs,1' but In spite of Miss Foster's gentle reading on her toes to remind her , she lover got It "princess. " Then the princess n the sweetest manner po lblo said to Mlsa Anthony : "When I was born , my family were reigning princes. " Hut It was all lest on 'Aunt Susan ; " nho didn't take the hint. > During the drive they passed a magnificent Did palace belonging to the oldest Roman amlllcs , and the princess explained to Mien iiithony that It was uily ono of five which ho family owned , all equally grand. Miss Anthony was silent for some moments , and vhcn tha prlncMu asked her what she thought of It , this redoubUblo American re plied : I "Whnt a magnificent orphan nnylum that . would incite. " I Or courio Iho princess w g horrified nt the suRscsllcu of such n sacrilege , nnd so o * ' pressed herself. Hut Miss Anthony pointed to the swarms of llttlo Romans playing In the street , ragged and nnkririit. and re plied : "I don't see a better use that this old pa'aco could be put to. " When they returned to the hotel the first remark which Miss Anthony made was : "Well , I hcjie you gel enough dog this time. " Then. "What made- you step on my toes ? Didn't I do all right , this time ? " "Well- replied Miss Foster , "you only called a irliiccfi3 of royal blood 'countess' nd 'Mrs. ' and everything but the right thing. " Then Mls-i Anthony -was dlngustol , and declared that she would not try again , but she would simply call all of them "Mrs. " and let It go at I hat. to which deter mination she strictly adhered. Hut by this time the logs had burned to ashes on the hearth , Iho room was In dark- new , and It was unanimously decided that It was tlmo to ecp.irato for the night. TO GUR15 A COLD IN ONR DAY.

' A number of men and teams from Ashley valley arc at present working over on the Ulntah reservation , where n canal Is under construction , for the purpose of carrying the water to lands that have been allotted to the Indians , says a correspondent of the Salt Lake Herald. Although everyone In the state Is ac quainted with the fact that the Utc reserva tion Is located In the northeastern section of Utah , and have a vogue Idea ot Indian farms and farmers , yet but .comparatively few are aware of what Is actually being done for these wards of Uncle Sam. T.hero are no doubt a great m-iny people throughout the state who arc under the Impression that the taking of lands In severally by the Indians Is only In Its llrst stages. The fact Is It has been going on for years , particularly among the Ulntahs. Years ago , when the ImUins flrst began to take to the Idea of Individual ownership of land , they moved slowly and cautiously In the matter , but gradually the "wickiups" began to appear upon pieces of grass land hero and there along the creek bottoms where the gram grew without artificial as sistance. Section lines were unknown to these children of the wilderness In those days , and they located where their fancy directed them. Subsequently fences were ran around hither and thither , which zigzagged and twisted over the landscape a very bewildering manner. The dusky In labkanls of this tangled net of incipient civilization were pretty i/ife from Intrusion by their will to brother and be able to penetrate that domain of uncerti-intlos and retreat In g-.od oiJer necessitates a very well developed bump of Iccatlon , Indeed. It was a step In the rin'ht ' direction , how ever , and paved the way for something better. In the last ten years the allotments have been taken much more systematically , sec tlon lines have been traced and locations made "all same white man. " Canals have been constructed , to cover these lands and fences to enclose them. Houses have been built , tcgether with granaries and all the other outbuildings Incident to a well reg ulated farm. Thousands of acres of land have been broken up and put Into tillable condition. Hundreds of acres have been seeded to hiccrn and timothy , and the piebald and pinto ponies now stand and munch 'placidly ' at the ( Incat of hay , produced from the land over which they scurried like evil spirits at every sound tn the days that are gone. Helween the Ulntah and Duchcsnn arc some beautiful benches dedicated to the use ot the red men. Imagine , _ if you can. standing upon an elevated pl.Ucauwhich slopes gradually away to the north some twenty miles to the foot of the great Ulntah mountains -which - form a magnificent background with their lofty summits clothed In eternal snow. There one may stand In the sweltering heat of the midsummer sun and gaze wistfully at the great drifts frcm which trickles the purest of water that feeds the streams flow ing at his feet. The water has been taken from these streams and distributed over the country In a systematic manner , transform ing the once dry benches Into fields of green. Hero may be seen Indian farms of from eighty to 200 acres , as level as any front yard In the "City of Saints. " You may see In your mind's eye the "noble red man" with his shirt sleeves rolled up and a pitchfork In his hand earning his bread by the sweat of his brow. The fact of the matter Is he earns his bread by the sweat ot some other fellow's brow. The- farms arc , as a rule , leased or rented to the whites , who work them on t-hares. The farms are not rented fromi the Indiana direct , but from the agent or the "Indian farmer , " an. official whose duty con sists of teaching these restless nomads the essential points of agriculture. The wily Utc takes kindly to this style of farming , for ho may sit upon his own hay stacks and with uu air of satisfaction behold his white brother toiling In the fields while ho , "the mor.nroh of all he surveys , " "tolls not , neither does he eiiln. " The future cuts no figure with an Indian , the present Is all ho cares about. Hu be lieves Implicitly In the old saying , "sufficient unto the- day Is the evil thereof , " consequently quently it Is found necessary to compel each Indian -to haul eulIlclA't grain to the agency to Insure seed for the next year , where It Is etored away for safe keeping nailer lock and key. Formerly all the hay and n great portion ! of the oats consumed at Fort Duchesno came from Ashley valley. Now It Is ralsad on the Indian farms within a few miles of the post. When the "boys In blueflrst came on to the Unltah and the post was In conrso of construction , hay was ? 25 and $ .10 jtsr ton , and everything else 'n proportion. Now hay Is $ G a ton and even less , and everthlug clso shouB a corresponding reduction , The prospect of the reservations being thrown open to settlement has aroused con siderable Interest among prospective locators caters , and all kinds of stories are afloat concerning them.
