SLOT MACHINES GO WITH FARO BANKS Police Sro Unit Mrt'Iiniilt-al Duvtccn Arc All Storeil A ay unit ] rrniirlcliirM l.ork the Doorx of Tlielr DOIIN. Mayor Carson yesterday Issued a decree ordering Into the cellars all of the slot ma chines wherever found lu any of the public places In the city. The order was made as sweeping EB It was possible to make It and several of the police ofllcciH spent the day enforcing It. ' At a late hour on Tuesday night Mayor Caison Issued an order closing the gambling houses , and this edict was also enforced. This morning , for the first tlmo In many years , the rattle of chips and the whir of the slot machines will not bo heard In any part of Council Bluffs. When the order closing the gambling houses was mode It was compiled with with commendable pi'omptiiess. ' In each of the housra the paraphernalia was stacked up and the doors locked before 9 o'clock. The nlckcl-ln-thc-slot machines died a llttlo harder. In many of the places the proprlctois were Inclined to argue with the officers en gaged In enforcing the commands of the mayor. Propositions were made to pay a license fee for permission to use the ma chines and many of the owners begged to let the machines remain upstairs until they had a chance to confer with the mayor and tender a fat license fee to the city. None of the propositions wcro ente. tallied for a moment and the officers did not leave the places until they had seen the offending machines dis mantled and taken Into cellars .or closets. The earnings of the slot machines have been much greater than many people suppose. It Is regarded as a poor machine or bad location that does not net 1's owner from $2 to ? 10 a day , and many of them are much more profitable. One joung man , speaking of his I experience yestoiday , said that for a year I they had cost him about $7 a week. The city ! authorities have been asked to pass an ordlj j nance licensing the machines , but there has been no disposition to do so. The closing of the gambling houses will not affect the city's revenues to the extent i of moro than $3,000 a year. There has been i 1 no license fro exacted from the gambling ] ' houbcs , but their owners have been permitted i ! voluntarily to call at the city building and i | deposit a sum of mo-icy. This has sometimes ' been as high as ? 25u a month from two or ' three houses , but of late there has only been ono house willing to inako Its voluntary con- i trilmtlon. This Is Llneburger's establishment , : and the amount paid has been $100 a month ' during the summer. The Inman and Sherf- \ ferly establishment has not been paying anything - ' thing lately. No receipts have been given i for these payments and there Is nothing to show on the ofllcial books of the city where the money came from. It has been credited under the general title of fines and licenses and has so appeared In the annual report's of tha beada of departments. TIOTES FROM THE DISTRICT COURT. ie'H Application fcir Injunction GofN Over AKiiln. Judge Green called up the case of James Malone against the Lake Afanawa Railway I company yesterday afternoon , an application ' for an Injunction by Malone , an eccentric ' farmer living on some of the accreted lands i on the south bank of Lake Manawa , asking the court to restrain the railway company , and particularly Us attorney , Emmett Tin- ley , from carrying out contemplated plans for the Improvement of the lake. The peti tion was highly sensational all the way through. The petition was filed on August 24 , but was not argued until yesterday. At torney Ware , who represented the petitioner , was not present , and he became the second i victim of the $10 penalty clause of the new rules of practice adopted by the four judges ! j of the district at the close of the August I term. His absence made It necessary to ' ' carry the case out of assignment and grant 1 a continuance. Attorney Tlnley read para graph 11 with all of the dramatic effect that 1 ho could give , and then moved to strike It | I out. The court sustained the motion to strike It out , but continued the case. I A number of the prisoners Indicted by the grand Jury were arraigned yesterday. Ilem- . orly Fuller , the 19-year-old boy Indicted un- | I dor the new habitual criminal act , pleaded I not guilty. Harry Helser , charged with at tempting an assault on Anna Roberts , entered the same plra. John Klnnc. who stole four teen head of young cattle from his employer , a farmer named Solomon McMillan , aaked' to bo given tlmo to think the matter over , with an Intimation that ho might conclude to plead guilty. Pete Egan , who stole a coat from a South Main street restaurant , declared that ho was Innocent of the charge. In the case of Julius Chernlss against John M.

Judge Green yesterday called up the mat ter of the motion to set aside the default obtaUied by the attorneys for L. C. Smith against the Beard of Education. The at torn t'js for the board and Mr. Smith were present and announced an agreement to have the default set aside. The 'negotiations still pending to secure a settlement out of court will be occo moro taken up , and If the case Is not settled tbe emit will be prosecuted. It U quite probable that the board will be willing to grant the Inventor of the heat retaining and ventilating device In the High school building the opportunity to make auoher ! test and permit him to chow , If pooalble , that the apparatus will do all that ho has claimed for It. Before the test la madu the question of the use of the damper will ba eettled. The Inventor has claimed that his failure to make good big specific guaranty that the device would Rive 20 jer cent of tbo fuel ordinarily used , besides af fording perfect ventilation , lias been duo to the unfair manipulation of thla pig damper , KirS 1M.ISA. FOR , .M JnilKf MeCice Hciifn ArKimifiil * In the Klci'tloil ( ' ' .IMC. Tbo application for a writ of mandamus applied for by Prof. H , W. Sawyer to compel the Board of Coucity Supervisors to const the returns from East Omaha at the late election was argued before Judge McGce In the superior court ycsiorday afternoon. Mr. Sawyer was represented by Attorneys S. B , Wadsworth and II. J. Chambers and the boird by Jacob Sims and County Attorney Saundcrs. The afternoon wag taken up by presentation of the cas > o by Attorney Wads- worth. He read supreme court decisions from about thirty volumes , sustaining the claim of the applicant for the writ that the canvassing board exceeded its authority and ooaumcd judicial prerogatives when It rc- fueed to canvass the vote from the disputed precinct. Ho contended that the canvass'ng board having assumed judicial authority , which even the surreme court of the state had admitted Its own Inability to do , that the writ of mandamus must Isstio or all precedents must be violated , A great mars of authority \\as brought forward to sustain the contention that the olfico of the can vassing board was merely ministerial , and the law ordering It to canvass the re turns did not confer upon It any power to question anything but the Identity of the returns and that If the returns bore suffi cient evidence to reasonably convince the board that they came from the precinct claimed no power was conferred to reject them upon the plea of Insufficiency or irreg ularity. These wcro questions for the courts only to determine. Another strong point wao made upon the fact that no error or oversight on the' part of an Individual officer of an election or of a number of them cou'.d he used to violate the constitutional right of the voter to have his ballot counted as he cast It. Attention was called to the grave danger that the exercise of suth a power would create. It could bo made use of by corrupt election officials to de feat the will of tbe voters of a city , county or tlatc , for men could bo purposely placed on the election board pledged to commit errors that would permit the canvassing board ti throw out the precinct and carry the election against the wishes of the people ple and In the Interest of the corrupt elec tion officials engaged to commit the errors. This point was < well sustained 'by a mass of atithcjrltlcB. A number of opln.tons were cited to sus tain the action of the plaintiff In permit ting the East Omaha election board to ccoie before the canvassing board with an affi davit showing that the error complained of \\as committed In the haste and Inexperi ence of the Judges and clerks , and that the failure of the judge , Cooper , to sign the returns arose from the tact that he was a cripple living n mile and a half from the polling precinct , that It 'was ' late at night and a rhanoe was offered him to ride home , and In his 'haste ' he signed the re turns in two places alid overlooked the third place for his signature. Attorney Wadsworth did not conclude his argument until time had arrived to ad- journ. court , rnc arguments win oe con- tlnued this moralng and a decision reached early. The Board of Supervisors will meet Monday for the purpose of finishing a llttlo business that was permitted to go over and as the adjournment was at the suggestion ot County Attorney tSaunders It is taken as an Indication of his 'belief ' that the board will be required to count the rejected 'bal- ' los. : H is already announced that a con test will 1)0 made In the courts , when the question of the legality of the returns from , the precinct 'will 'bo ' judicially considered.

A cablegram published in The Bee yester day morning from 'Berlin ' announcing that Emperor William had given the American consul a life-saving medal for transmission to the United States In recognition , of the bravery of Valentine Fernekcs and to be forwarded to him at ( Milwaukee , Is of local Interest here for the reason that Mr. Fer- nekes. was formerly a citizen of Council Bluffs.

CEDAR HAPIDS , Nov. 17. ( Special Tolo- gnim. ) The defense In the Novak murder trial at Vlnton Is weaving a much stronger line of defense than It was supposed possi ble. One of the most suspicious circum stances connected with the finding of the body of lEdward Murray In the ruins of the Wulford flro was the fact that an Identifica tion check , a pair of scissors and other ar ticles belonging to Frank A. Novak were found In the ruins near the beadt body. To day the defendant's mother testified that whllo she was In the sleeping room on the day before the fire she found a pair of trousers which he was wearing on the day before and which ho tore badly whllo jumpIng - Ing over a fence to separate some fighting | dogs which had frightened the children. She I said that when she placed them on a lounge near by that there was something In the pockets which rattled. Mrs. Frank Novak , wife of the defendant , testified that their homo llfo was u happy one and that Novak was a good husband. Several witnesses were on the stand who contradicted the state's witnesses and testified that when the cot and dead body were taken from the boiler room after the fire there was a quantity of debris under It. John W. Nolan testified taut ho was told by a robber who bad been captured a few weeks before that there was an organized1 gang In that vicinity and that they bed planneJ to , rojj the Ncvak bank among other places. Members of the Novak family testified that "tho bottle of morphine and whisky was kept iri the bank vault and not In the store. LINEVILLE , la. , No17. > . ( Special. ) W. H.

( Special Tele gram. ) The right of county and district fair associations to draw $200 annually from the state was discussed 'by ' Attorney General Ilemley In an opinion forwarded to tlie state auditor today. The question affects the 113 fair associations In the state. The law of 1859 provided that the state should pay $200 to each association. Under that law the warrants were Issued by the auditor and sent out toy the eecietary of the Agri cultural society. This fall , as the code has been revised , the attorney general was called 011 to give an opinion as to the propriety of Issuing the'warrants. Ho raised a serious question and the Issue of the warrants has been delajed several weeks , pending a more complete Investigation. The result was made known In the opinion banded down today. In substance he holds that the great majority of fairs are entitled to draw under the new law. It Is simply" necessary that each shall show donations to Its capital stock amounting to $200 per year , and the attorney general rules that membership tickets sold In advance Khali count as part of the donation. Under this rule the secre tary of the state society Is of the opinion that the majority of societies will get their donations as usual. JDUGI2 SI'UHKIIillhTKI'S OUT. 1'IINNOH ill.

Its sanitary location , beautifully shaded and well kept grounds with their wealth of lovely flowers and shrubbery all conduce toward making It an Ideal homo for her poor children who dwell In darkness , The management of the In terior Is as complete as the exterior would Indicate. Prof. McCuno and his efficient corps of teachers have made the educating of the blind not only a science , but n pleasure as well , and marvelous arc the results obtained by their patience and thor ough knowledge of their work. Among the many bright-faced girls and boys being educated there Ilnnle Hagt : < : - wood stands out from all the rest ; u.ot only Is she blind , but deaf and dumb ns well , her case being much moro pitiable than that of Helen Kcllar , until MUs Dora Donald , her teacher , undertook the herculean task of awakening her dormant mind by the one avenue of touch. Having been aflllctcd from Infancy , there was no previous knowledge to aid her In developing Llnnle's mind , only the sense of touch , taste and undeveloped thought was hers. Two years' close work with Us regular routine , harmonious sur roundings and good food Improved her health greatly she had scarcely walked before - fore coming to school and recognizing this development , a plan was adopted by which Miss Donald became private teacher to her charge. This was made possible by personal subscription and a state appropriation , and the results arc In every way encouraging to her friends. At 17 years of ago wo find Linnle a well- developed young lady , with a pleasant face and charming manners that attract you at once. She re-ids and writes five different sys tems of the point methods , writes beauti fully with a lead pencil , and skillfully manip ulates the typewriter , and her joy was un bounded when told she was to have plann lessens this year. She Is a member of the class of physical culture and seldom ever makes a mistake cither In time or move ment. With her teacher she spent a few days at the Iowa deaf and dumb school during vacation. Prof. Glllisple gave her a few lessons In vocalization. With scarcely three months' practice she can now articulate plainly nearly all common words , so that Miss Donald converses with her almost en tirely by the Up method. Llnnlo sews nicely , docs not care to t'o fancy work , but prefers practical things , such as the making of her own clothing , the dress she wears In the picture being made entirely by her skillful fingers ; besides the hemmlag of sheets , pillowcases and towels. The matron in the sewing room states she was periecuy compcicm 10 uuiu uui jiv with her needle if necessary. That she Is a Christian and desirous of living a good , helpful life Is evinced by her constant striving to bo sweet , sympathetic and loving to everybody. In traveling about this slimmer a kind lady entertained her with a music box. She was delighted , and began Immediately to save her money toward purchasing one for herself. While spending a few days at the Orphans' home of Council Dluffs a llttlo friend of hers had to have a limb amputated ; upon finding that another leg would not grow again she was much distressed until her teacher told her It was possible to buy a cork limb , and all the money she earns , together with her cherished hoard for the music box , Is to be used In buying "Poor Magglo a cork leg. " Ilt'ld Uni'ollNtltulIoiuiI. DES MO1NES , Nov. 17. ( Special Tele gram. ) The new peddlers' license law was today held unconstitutional by Judge Con rad. It fixes fees at from $25to $100 , which each county shall collect from peddlers doIng - Ing business within HE limits. Old soldlern and decrepit people were exempted from the tax.

Two hundred of them live In this town and all of them will go out tomorrow for 'the ' first time since the new law became effective. IntVIll Nl' V.HOtt'H. .

FOUR BOXES DID IT , lloinarknlile Suoeess of 11 Xeiv Pile Cure People who have suffered for yours ° r months from the pain and Inconvenience of th.it common disorder , piles , will look with skepticism upc-n the claims of the makers ol the new discovery for cure of all forms of piles , known under the name of Pyramid Pile Cure ; nevertheless the extraordinary cures performed by this remedy are such ca to warrant the Investigation of any bufferer.

Nothing did jne any good. I read In Cincinnati of tbo many cures of piles by the Pyramid Pile Cure and I went to a drug store and asked for It. The drug clerk told me that he bad something elee that he thought was better , but I told him that I wanted to try the Pyramid first. The first box helped me so much that I tried another and then to complete the cure used two moro boxes , making four In all. I am now completely cured. Have not a troco of piles and I had suffered for four years with the worst form of protruding piles. ' I suffered death from plies , but I Jiave found the Pyramid Pile Cure to be Just as represented. I have recommended It to several of my friends and I am thankful to bo able to write you what good the remedy haa done for me.
