The executive committee of the Council I3luffs Transmlsslsslppl auxiliary will hold a mooting In the Grand hotel tomorrow oven- Ing. It will bo the first meeting since -the holidays , and as there are -number ol matters to como up for consideration the gathering promises to bo of unusual Interest , Since the committee undertook the work of erecting the gigantic tepee on the exposi tion grounds for the purpose of making a distinctive exhibit of Pottawattamlc county resources there has -been developed some op position on the part of the state commis sioners , who seem to feel that there Is dan ger of the Council Bluffs enterprise assuming a character somewhat out of proportion tc the exhibit the ) state will make , and the committee has received several rather posi tive hints that It might be better for the In terests of the state and the Iowa exhibit II the largest -county - In the state would merge Its exhibit Into that'of the state. Some mis sionary work. has been < lone among the members of the association In this respect , and they have been Inclined to look with favor upon the plan proposing a consolida tion. The majority ot the members , how ever , are not so Inclined , and are willing to undertake the responsibilities of the large independent enterprise for the benefit It will confer upon the city and the county. There may bo same discussion of the 'matter at the meeting tomorrow evening. Another Important thing to be considered Is the method to bo employed to dispose ot the C.OOOhandsome exposition buttons that have been received and are now In possession of the secretary and the button committee. These 'buttons are to bo sold for $1 each and the proceeds used toward defraying the cost ot the city's exhibit. JOHN JACKSON 1'HOVES AN AI.1HI. Krlciuln Swear ijllm Out of tlio City .lull.

Ho was given a number of continuances while per fecting his dcfenso and he carao Into court yesterday morning with a host of witnesses who swore that the young man was aboul twenty blocks from the grocery at the tlmo ot the robbery. All of the witnesses fixed the hour by the blowing of the curfew whis tle and their stories wcro all exactly alike. The prosecution was wholly ) unable to etoake the strong alibi and Jackson was promptly discharged. Carl Swasslng , a young lad who was caught In the act of stealing ccal from a car In the Rock. Island yards , was sentenced to thirty days In the county jail , but Judge McGee suspended the sentenceupcti tbo showing made by the friends of the boy.

A good deal of Interest bos been awakened around the court houpe by the discovery Uiat tnothcr of the depositions I'.hat figured 4n the disbarment case ot Charles II. Converse has mysteriously disappeared. The deposi tion Is the one that was shown during the hearing to have been altered during the time It was In the possession of Converse after It was made and signed by Court Reporter Gaston and after Its receipt by the clerk ol the supreme court. It was In the flies and was examined after the hearing of the case was concluded on Friday afternoon , and Bailiff Cousins Is positive ho placed It In the flics In the filing case In the court room when ho left the building. Thcro ls a suspicion that the court house was entered eomo llmo Friday night and the deposition taken. Janitor Illley turned the electric lights In the room when he left at supper tlmo. Ho attended a lodge meeting and when ho returned to the building aboul 10 o'clock ho was somewhat surprised to fliii several ot the lights burning. He saw no person about the building and again turned off the lights aud left for homo. When ho returned before daylight on the following morning to look after his fires ho was more than ever surprised to find a couple of the bulbs In the Immediate locality ot the flllng case again burning. A year ago loot summer there were fre quent disappearances of Important papers and the conclusion was forced that they had been taken nt night by eomo ono who had secured a key to ono of the many outer doors of the big building or gained access through ono of the lower windows. The locks were changed and strong fastenings wcro placed on all of the windows. Since then none ol the papers have * disappeared until the present Instance. The missing paper Is a part ol the supreme court record and the court offi cials are very * much worried over It.

Treyiior "hiicl nrccnxliIi'IilM I'ny li Visit to Connrr.ssiiinn linger. I. M. Treynor and J. P. Greenshlelds have returned from Creston , where they were called a few days ago for the purpose of meeting and conferring with Congressman Hager on the postofllco fight , which hao reached an acute stage. As the contest had narrowed down to the two appllcsnts earned , It was the desire of Congressman Hager tc have a joint conference with them. It will bo the duty of the congressman to nominate ono or the other for the position within the aoxt 'few ' weeks. Neither candidate was willing to talk much about the Interview beyon-J the assertion that neither knew any more than hedid - when ho started for Crcn- ton. The friends of Mr. Treynor claim to have discovered that ho appears considerably moro confident than he did before the inter view , when his confidence amounted to al most the assurance of certainty. It is as serted by these who know that the matter has reached the stage where neither of the men- cam get the appointment without the consent ot the other and his friends , and th'a ' means that a compromise must bo reached between them. It Is Intimated that the com promise haj been effected and that Treynor Is to have the ofllce and Is to make Grccn- shlclds his chief deputy. Mr. Treynor Is at thd present tlmo In DCS Molnes , where he will make the final effort today toward consolidating his strength and securing the approval of the comprom'so al luded to. It Is Mid that the only thing In the way of this compromise Is the promlws that Mr. Ttoynor has previously made con cerning the deputyshlp. If. ho cam to re lieved of these obligations the compromlno will bo approved an-i the long and some what blttcr > fight will bo ended.

All the way from Sioux : Haplds comes the story , brought to the DCS Molnes Leader by a political authority of good standing , that Isaac S. Strublo Is out shaking hands with the farmers ot IHicna Vista county and act ing very much like a candidate for congress. liuena Vista Is ono of the pivotal -counties In the big 'Eleventh , and If Strublo Is going to bo a candidate against Perkins once more , It would > bo natural for him to look up his fences In that section early. The Sioux Kaplds 'Republican ' , edited by Jim Hosklns , who used to tie a great boss In that county , but of late years has been a minor Influence , comes out with u vicious artlclo attacking the Perkins and Helsell people and seemingly getting ready for another fight for Struble. These things have set Eleventh district poli ticians by the ears , and they are wondering If the old fight will have to be repeated again this year between Perkins and Strublo. The position of 'Frank ' 'HelBcll ' In such , a contln- < ency Is uncertain. > Ho Is an anxious aspl- ant for congress , and has always been a I'crklns man , It has been repeatedly ru mored that ho would make a try on his own account this year , 'but nothing Is certainly cnowii. , lown nirl to < > u to Drnninrlr.

' Pertinent Questions. Why Will a Woman Throw Away Her Goofl Looks and Comfort ? , Why will a woman elrajy out a sickly , half-hearteel existence jind miss three-quarters ol the joy of living- , when she has health almost within her grasp ? If she does not values her good looks , does she not value her comfort ? Why , my sister , will you suf fer that elull pain in the smallof your hack , those hearing-down , dragging sensations in the loins , that terrible fullness in the lower Vowel , causeel by constipation pro ceeding from the womb lying over and " pressing on the rectum ? Do you know that these are signs of displacement , and that you will never be well while that lasts ? What a woman needs who is thus af fected is to strengthen the ligaments so they will keep her organs in place. There is nothing better for this purpose than Lydia E. Pinhhatn's Vegetable Com pound. The great volume of testimony which is constantly rolling in , proves that the Compounel is constantly curing thousands of just such cases. The following letter from Mrs. Marlow is only one of many thousands which Mrs. Finklmm has received this year from those she has relieved surely such testimony is convincing : "My trouble comraenccel after the birth of my last child. I did not know what was the matter with me. My husband went to our family physi cian and described my symptoms , nnd he said I had displacement and falling of the womb , lie sent me some medicine , but it diel little good. I let it go on about two years , and every time I did any hard work my womb would come down. Finally a lady friend advised mo to try Lydia E. Pinhhum's Vegetable Compound , which I did. The first bottle helped me so much , I con tinued to take it right along. My buck was almost the same as no back. I could not lift scarcely any weight. My life was just a drag to me. To-day I am well of my womb trouble , and have a good , strong back , thanks to Mrs. Piuklmm's Vegetable Compound. " Mits. L.
