RELATOR PRESENTS MIS SIDZ OF \TTER CoiitcnilH Unit ( lie Ifrnl Ihull of In- M'HM HUM lli'cn I2\c < * uitiMl mill tlint a Hull MIIN ! lie O.illc.l. i The right of the city of Council Bluffs to continue to discharge Its financial obliga tions -iud meet Its Indebtedness ns It falls due Is 'being determined In. the suit that J. J. Shea Is prosecuting before Judge Green In the district court. Nearly the entire day was devoted to the hearing of evidence and arguments In support of Shea's application for an Injunction restraining the city officers from Issuing apy moro warrants or other evidences of Indebtedness or paying any war rants , bonds or Interest thereon that have become debts against the city since the be ginning of 1895. The case was called up at the morning session nnd presented to the court by Mr. Shea. The afternoon was de voted to the hearing of evidence supporting Shea's claim that the city's debt has now reached and passed the legal limits per mitted by the state constitution ami the charter of the corporation. The testimony was all documentary and comprised the bond and warrant registers and other books In the offices of the city treasurer and the city auditor. These city ofilcets were called upon only to identify these 'books and statements. The figures have' frequently been published ami are familiar to all readers of The Ilee. The city offered no evidence In the case and gave Mr. Shea the opportunity to use all of the time ho requlrcJ to present 'his ' case. Ifib arguments were supported by oaurt decisions applicable to the situation. In his presentation of the city's side cf the controversy to the court City Attorney Hazel- ton contended that there were only three principles Involved. Has fihea a right to maintain this action ? Has the city gone be yond its legal Indebtedness ? And the judge's right to use his discretion to determine if it Is for the best Interests of nil to grant the In junction sought even though the facts should sustain the application ? iMr. Shea did not conclude1 his argument until erme time after the usual hour for adjournment had arrived. The city will this morning attack some of the assumptions of the plalntlft and In sup port of the contention , that he has no right to maintain Oils suit will try to show that ho Is not at the present time the heavy tax payer he claims to 'bo ' or a taxpayer at all. Lit'tlo ' interest was taken In the suit by the general public yesterday. None of the city officials except these who were called as wit nesses were in the court room and all of the scats outside of the railing were vacant. The arguments In the application for a writ of mandamus to compel the Board of County Supervisors to count thb votes cast In the cccond precinct of the Sixth ward , or East Omaha , were not concluded In the superior court yesterday until 4 o'clock. The conclud ing argument waa made by Attorney Cham bers in a speech that lasted half an hour. People who have been atracted to the court room by the Importance of the case have learned about all there Is to know of the law and supreme court decisions governing the counting of the votes In popular elections. The attornejs for the relater have submitted opinions sustaining their contentions from the supreme courts of almos tQvery state In the union , and have given the court a weight of authoritative opinion that will require a great deal of tlmo to consider If It Is all to be taken Into account. Judge McGce has In timated , however , his belief that he will bo able to render his decision by Saturday , so that It will be before the board when that body reconvenes on Monday , for the pur pose of completing some unfinished busi ness. ness.The The defense relied almost wholly upon the mandatory nature of the statute governing the counting of the ballots and the facts In evidence , that the count was not conducted 'a accordance with the provisions of the law. No authorities were Introduced to sustain the the contention that the canvassing board did the proper thing In rejecting the vote of the prectact on account of the failure of one of the Judges to properly sign the poll book and the other Irregularities that have been admitted. Ono of the points raised by the attorneys for the board related to the fact that Sawyer , who had been counted out of hlo election as county superintendent of schools , had not properly qualified himself as a candidate by securing e certificate from the county superintendent of Pottawattamle county. This point was sustained by a cir cular letter from the state superintendent , which suggested that all candidates for county superintendent should hold flrst-claco certificates from the county superintendents in the counties where they arc candidates , and It was shown by Prof. Paulson that Saw yer had not applied to him for examination for such a certificate. This proposition was met by the other side with the statement that Sawyer was amply qualified for the dut ies of li'n office and was the holder of thirty first-class certificates. One of these , a flr&t- clafs certificate ) Issued by the county super. Intondrat of Harrison county Just prior to the late o'ectlon , was Introduced In evidence. The objections that Sawyer had not applied to Paulson for a certificate 'was met by the submission of a lot of supreme- court opinions , holding that the law did not. contemplate the requirement of candidates to submit themselves to the humiliation of applying to their oponents for the neces/ary certificates to qualify them as a candidate. Ono de cision In the Southern Reports , page 353 , a Mliulsalppl case , fully covering this point , was cited. While this point was being ar gued Prof. Paulson Interjected some remarks that were quickly turned to account by At torney Chambers , who was arguing the case The court had suggested to Prof. Paulson that If he had any remarks to ir.ake or sug gestions to offer , that they should bo made to his coun&el In a whisper , when Chambers declared with a good deal cf dramatic fervor that "It any further proof of the correctness of our contention , and the righteousness of this decision the znlmoslty Just ghoun would Indicate the wisdom of the relater In refus ing to submit himself to the present county superintendent for examination , " lli'iil ICxInliTrniiNlVrH , The following transfers nro reported from the title nnd loan olllco of J.

I n IT n Incnl CointiillU-c Hnlil.i Ex-Governor Packard , chairman of the ex ecutive committee of the Iowa commission- era of the TranRmlsalsslppI Exposition , reached the city last evening nnd took n good deal of Interest In the regular weekly meet ing of the executive committee of the Co'un- ell Bluffs auxiliary. Ho Is here for the pur pose of settling the question of the charges that are to be made for the use of grounds for a Blto for the Iowa state building and for selecting the silo as well as ascertaining the space that will bo given In the main bulldtnps for the Iowa exhibit. Governor Packard was greatly pleased with the prompt action taken by the local committee to pro cure the rescinding of the action taken by the exposition management In the matter of charging for the site of the date building and was very much gratified by the semi official Intimation that was given him last evening that the management would prob ably recede from the position assumed. The committee appointed at the meeting last week for the purpose of centering with the management In Omaha will accompany Gov ernor Packard on his visit to Omaha this morning and will assist In laying the mat ter bcforo the exposition management. The meeting of the Council Bluffs com mitted last evening was well attended by the members nnd the enterprises afoot were discussed with more than ordinary confi dence nnd enthusiasm. The plans for the big wigwam were submitted and explained by Architect Woodward. A wigwam'commlt - tee was appointed consisting of Victor Ben der , Superintendent Hlsey , R. P. Clark , Leonard Everett , M. Wollman nnd 0.P. , Wlckham , to take charge of the erection of the building and alt of the negotiations. Considerable ttmo was again given to the discussion of the problems connected with the purchase and sale of the PottawattamlP exposition button. It was decided that It was necessary to o-dcr the button decided upon at the earliest practicable day and get them on sale. It was suggested that there might bo considerable rivalry among the people to get the first button and that It might bo made to bring a good deal more than the single $1 that others were to bo sold' for. Dr. Cleaver suggested that this button bo put up at auction and sold to the highest bidder and Intimated a willingness to start the price at $25. President Graham suggested that If the committee could get the women Interested In the button selling scheme that several thousand dollars could bo raised In a short time. Suggestions for the exhibits to bo shown In the building were made. jOnc of the members stated that he had a proposition from a wcll-kiiDwn citizen who has carnca the reputation of raising the largest speci mens of all kinds of fruit and fancy stock to produce a turkey gobbler that would weigh at least sixty pounds. The committee on literature was Instructed to prepare matter for the country papers , with a view of increasing the Interest In the county exhibit. Mr. J. V. Wllcox , who for several days past has been busily engaged in fitting up his now floral mid confectionery store at 521 Broadway , will hold a floral opening on Saturday.

DBS ( MOIN-ES - , Nov. 13. ( Special Tele gram. ) Today's 'Investigation ' of the condi tion of the city funds , leads to the conclusion that the discrepancies will never lo ac counted for. The records are hopelessly tangled. In 1889 a committee of experts was Itept at work six months In an effort to straighten matters and corrected errors amounting to over $250,000. At the con elusion of itlio task the 'books ' A\cro brought within $400 of a 'balance. ' This left maUers In a condition of great uncertainty and It was Impossible to ascertain how many other errors existed /but / could not bo traced. The present discovery Indicates that about $11,000 of general fund warrants are outstanding more than , tfio auditors' records ehow. The dlscoyery was made simply ibccauso the amount of warrants has been gradually re duced from about $400,000 to $34,000 , , and as things simmered down 'tho discrepancy was suspected and finally proven. Jacob Laird , who was auddtor for many years before 1SS3 , Is dead and no records shed light on the difficulty. The contest over the epeakershlp of the next Iowa house Is getting Into such shape that more definite estimates of the strength of crcidldates are being made. The aspir ants to date are : Punk of Hardln. Nletcrt of Linn , Haugcr of Ulack Hawk , Ladd of Uutler and Lavender of Calhoun. Mr , Lidd was the member whose vote assured the pas. sage of the manufacturing bill In the house last winter. He agreed to vote for It If necessary to secure a constitutional ma jority. On the roll call fifty voted for the bill , Ladd voting no. Klfty-one were neces sary to pass It , and Ladd changed to the affirmative. His prohibition constituents made a hard fight against him for renomlaa- tion , but ho carried the day and was elected by an Increased majority. The anti-prohi bitionists are pushing his candidacy and Indications arc he will enter the race second only to Funk , who Is conceded the lead at the outset. Funk's supporters claim ho Is assuroJ of winning , but the opposition Is bitter and declare that anybody else will bo more acceptable and that the first effort will be to compare his defeat. A dark horse is now discussed as a possibility. SUCCESSOR TO SPURRIER. Governor Drake this morning appointed ex-Judge Charles A. Dlshop judge of the Ninth judicial district , consisting of Polk county , to succeed 'W. ; A. Spurrier , whose resignation was sent to the governor last night. Judge Ulshpp , J. I. Myerly and Frank L. Dobson wVc lift candidates. The resignation was a surprise and before the other candidates had fairly got their peti tions ready for circulation Judge Bishop's appointment was announced. He was on the bench for six years , retiring seven years ago. The appointment holds until the next general election , or praqtlcally a year. The dark horse In , th < { race for custodian of the state house under Governor Shaw has been located. Ho Is II , II. Palmer of lied Oak , Montgomery county , and hie supporters declare ho will get the place. He is a one- legged Union soldier , has been clerk of Montgomery county twice , sheriff three times and postmaster at Red Ook under Har rison. His chances are ( considered excellent. McCarraugh and P.crmell . of Polk are the other candidates and. It is given out that Shaw will give the adjutant generalship to Prime of Polk and announce that It is enough for one county. , SHAW PROPOSES TO HE GOVEHXOH.

The Polkcounty scheme bs been for years to swoop down on the new governor and at the very outset Impress him with a proper conception of the position of this county as "tho whole thing.

Hull , member of congress , wantd J. D , McOarruught. Hull's' ljrqther-ln-law , for CUE- todlan. The opposition , or MacVlcar elemen , headed by Mayor MacYlcar , demands th t James Parmeleo bo named. Whca Governor Shaw was hero -few daya ago the two crowds maflo life o1'burden for him. Mr. Sluw made a call on "Mayor MacVlcar , and this worried the anti-ilacVlcar forces worse than anything cleo that has occurred. But latterly It has been given out that Shaw doesn't like cither candidate , and Is likely ' ' to appoint neither bn'o. There la no other avowed candidate Irt the Held , BO far as known , though It U understood several IKVC privately filed their applications with Mr. Shaw , and that ho may name one of them. Ho has been acting very Independently , and his friends say the politicians will have poor standing with him , unless they can prove that what they demand IB best for the st-.te. Polk county demands the adJuUnt general ship for John R. Prime , and it la generally believed will get It.

( Special Telegram. ) The defense In the Novak mur der trial iw'lll rest tomorrow afternoon with the testimony of the defendant himself. Today for the first tlmo they levealcd their line of defense , nnd not until this afternoon wus It known just what 'their ' defense .would be. Indeed It Is doubtful If the counsel for the defense had wholly determined Just what they would do until noon today , ibut the die has been cast and largely upon the effect of the testimony given this afternoon will the defense depend for the acquittal of the do- tondant. Dr. Andrews , professor of chemistry In 'the ' Iowa State university , and Dr. Frunlf Carroll , a demonstrator In the same Institu tion , -were on the stand a larger part of the afternoon as experts to testify to the gases liberated by Imperfect combustion of wood nn.l coal. It Is quite evident the defense will claim that when Frank Novak awoke the night of the fire he was overcome toy the gases , that ho wandered from the store In a state of mental aberration and that his mind did not resume Its normal condition until ho ( had wandered far from home and IOD date to turn back ; that .Murray iwus not aroused and was overcome completely toy the gases nnd that falling Into the 'basement ' his head struck against something , causing the fracture of the skull , from which the blood clot resulted. W. II. 'McDonald ' , who waa on the stand this morning , testified In regard to the location of the gas Jcta in the buildIng - Ing , and wihllo It Is not likely they will try to explain the origin of the fire they will present 'as their theory that It caught from a broken Jet In the 'holler ' rocm.

Sioux City Jouinal : A good deal of evl- donee Lj being presented to show that Gen eral Weaver Is now a resident of the Sixth congressional district. Sioux City Tribune : Sioux City aldermen are still quarreling over where the city shell buy its coal. There eeoms to bo no trouble about where they buy their own. Cedar Rapids Republican : The three silver parties In Iowa are now politely spoken of as the remains , and it remains to be seen whether they will bo ag > iin exhumed. Burlington Hawkeye : Populism Is on the wane , but this will not Id&sen the chances of republican successes In the future. The populists have always voted with the demo crats to Important contests. In fact the pri mary object of the populists was to draw re publicans away from their own party. This scheme having proved a failure the populist party Is going to pieces. Keokuk Gate City : The Klondike gold fields are not In it with the creameries of Iowa. During the last year the latter turned out 100,000,000 pounds of butter , valued at $15,000,000. It Is Iowa's greatest Industry , and Is constantly growing In size and Impor tance. During the last year more creameries were constructed than in any similar psrlod for a number of years , and It Is worthy of note that many of them have been built in parts of the state heretofore with few or no creameries. Davenport Republican : The full extent of the good times that have come to the farm ers is not yet apparent in Iowa , although It is quite plainly to bo seen. The farmers cro now rushing all their produce Into market , but many of them are feeding their corn. The Odcbolt Chronicle eays that during the last six months 7,000 cattle Jiave been shipped to that elation , destined for farms In Sac county. As a result there will bo little corn for sale from that county , but great ship ments of stock later on. The corn was not fed at former low prices , for the reason that there was no prospective market for beef , but now with the return of good times thcro is an assurance of a m.rket at good prices. DCS Molnes Leader : Governor-elect Shaw- announces that the veteran Major W. II. Fleming will be retained as private secretary to the governor. Mr. Shaw could not have done better. Major Fleming Is a cyclopedia of Information on matters concerning Iowa , a ni'.n ' ol sound judgment and affable man ners. Mr. Shaw also says that ho will select a state librarian after consultation with the library trustees. This Is also wise. Under the new code after 1900 the appointment of state librarian will bo In the hands of the trustees , the change being deferred until so late out of courtesy to Governor Drake , who lit the time the change was made was deemed certain of a rcnomlnation. Mr. Shaw , by his announcement that ho will consult the trustees , shqws that ho respects the fcplrit of the new law. Mr. Shaw starts out well. Clothes-pins make some of the holes but most of them come from rubbing. And no matter how careful you are , the constant wear of the wash board weakens the fabric , thins it out , makes it easy to tear and pull to pieces. You can't help having this wearing process , even with the most conscientious washing. That is why clothes washed with Pearl- ine last longer. Pearline saves wear saves rubbing. No washboard needed. Nothing but soak ing the clothes ; boiling ; rinsing. 3 Millions Reduced Prices I Hew Improved Li * King of them all. with the best mantle and chlmne" made- Burns less eas and makes more light than any other lamp in he market.
