Bracket ! and McPberson & Rccd are looking for an elderly deceiver who made himself known to them as Cliarlca Gerber. Ho cultivated their acquaintance until ho In duced them to cash a couple of worthless drafts. Gerbcr spent a week or more In town about two weeks ago. He made a number of calls at Bi ackett'u book store uud bought arti cles for which ho paid cash. On Sunday ho picked out some books that struck his fancy and in payment of the bill , $3 , presented a draft on a bank In iMllwaukco calling for $7.50. As un additional Inducement to take thu draft Gerber offered to pay twenty-live cents exchange which ho thought might be demanded by the local bank for collection ! . Brackett accepted the draft and paid over the change. . Gerbcr only spent ono day la getting Into the confidence of Mcl'heruon & Reed. Ho appeared at their green houses on Sunday afternoon and picked out a small palm which he t > ald hu wanted to present to the family with whom ho was staying , inrn- tlonltig the name of a well known citizen. In payment a draft on a Wellington , 0. , bank for $7.75 was presented. iMcl'herson was suspicious of the stranger aud refused thu draft , but waa willing to permit him to taku the palm and pay the bill at the down town olflcu on Monday. Gerber presented thu draft to the cashier and lu the absence of 'tho proprietors It was accepted. The drafts were deposited In the local banks for collection and were returned yesterday as worthless. While Gerbcp wus working hero ho was making excursions to adjoining towns acid bectirlng advances on the same kind of pa per. Ono hotel keeper in Red Oak accepted one for $10 and another man In Creston did the same thing. The Red Oak man was lasslng through the city one day lat't week and saw Gerbcr on the platform at the trans fer. Ho came up town to get a warrant for his arrest and missed his man.

BOARD OF ClipOL BILL Dae to Ootno Up in the Senate This Honing , FRIENDS OF MEASlJ EnAnE CONFIDENT Tlioy llnte iSiifflplcnl to l'nrr > II ThroliKli lli'nlj , tliii Author , Will Lend the DBS ilOINES , March 2. ( Special Tele gram. ) The board of control bill will ccmu up In the senate tomorrow , \\hcn the real battle of the session will open. It will meet vlgoroui opposition In both houses , but on the eve of the struggle the frlcmls of the bill are confMctit of Its passage. They have made careful polls of tbe bodies and claim they can count not only votes on the passage of the Mil , but also have assurances of such support as will prevent amending It to death , i Senator Hetly , author of the measure , will lead the- light In the senate. Chairman Tunic of the vajs and means committee says Ilealy has a better equipment of information and argument with which to make the fight than any man la the state ever dad ; this for the reason that ho was chairman of the com mittee which Investigated the state Institu tions lest summer , and that later , after de tailed study of the statutes of other btates he drafted the present bill. Senators Tunk , JunKln , Cheshire , Carney , Malloy and IJerrj nro expected to take the leading' parts In favor ot the mejsure. Trcnln , who was re garded as the prospective opposition leadei , declares he favors the bill , but believes It should be amended. Titus and Dlanchard aie looked on an leaders of the opposition ; llarrl- man will bo with them , and sevtral others are aligned on their tide. The bill provides that the board shall con sist of three members. Theie Is opposition to this on the ground that llvo members ate needed , the minority party to have two Then the bill pioposes that the members be npoolntcd by the governor , confirmed by twn-thlrda majority of ttio senate. Seine of the members want confirmation to be by two- thirds of both houses , others want the board to bo elected by he people. If the bill comes through the fights on these two points , which are considered vital , It may bo safely ex pected to paes without serious changes In any other featuret OPPOSE EMMEIIT BILL. A strong delegation of Sioux City people arrived today to oppose the Bmmert bill , ooklng to Inspection of cattle Imported Into ho stile. The bill has aroused extensive and active opposition , and there Is little hatice of Its passage. The senate wajs and means committee sat his alternoon and with twelve mcmbeis > rcsenl nine voted In favor of reporting a ) lll to raise the basis ot valuation for ab- essment to 31 % per cent. The law now re- lulrcs that the property be listed for tuit ion at 25 per cent of cash valuation. Ile- > oi ts from assessment now In process of making Indicate that on this basis the vahu- lon of the state will bo so reduced that hero is doubt of raising. In many cities and lountleb , enough revenue , to pay current ex penses. The committee will not bring out ho bill at present , but will wait for further levelorments. ' In tlic house committee en judiciary the ) lll to legalize the recent electric light clcc- lon In Des Molncs was v6ted to be reported avoralily. The committee ; had been opposed r > the measure till after the primaries of Jonday , which amounted to so strong a leclar.itlon for municipal ownership that vhen < \ committee of citizens appeared today and renewed their request for the passage ot the bill , the committee recommended It CHEROKE0 ASYLUM. The hou&o committee on appropiiations met cmlght and by an almost unanimous vole decided to postpone indefinitely the bill to appropriate $278,000 for the completion of he Cherokee Insane asylum. This action > raclically assures that the asylum cannot jo completed In the next two years. Itb 'rlends have made a hard fight for It , but t was against heavy odds , for the financial ondltbn of the state Is such that from the jeg'onltig ' It was almost certain the appro priation would fall. The buildings are under oo' and In such condition that they will not ) e Injured by the delay and suspension of operations fcv two years. The committee also reccmmcnded by unanimous vote the 'avorable report of the bill to appropriate ; 30,000 for the memorial hall and historical julldtag In Des Molaes. The house pardon committee considered he application of Wesley Elklns , the boy murderer , for pardon. After a'long discus sion the vote showed the co-nmlttco a tie ; ialf wanted to recommend a parole for five years , with pardon at the end of that time ; he otliers opposed the parole. The governor iad been Interviewed and stated ho would Ivo the parole If tbe legislature cecom- mendcil It. Speaker Ilccd on AiljoiirnmonlN. Representative Ladd , chairman of the louse republican caucus of the Iowa leglsla- , ure. consulted Speaker Heed of the national bouse In regard to the right of the house to adjourn from Saturday to Wednesday , says the DCS Molncs correspondent of the Marshalltown Tlmes-nepubllcan. Some members thought that It was unconstitu tional and Insisted upon , holding dally sc.sslons during the recess and adjourning so that there could be no question of the legality of the proceedings of the house. Mr. Ladd maintained that this was unnec- crsary and he Is sustained by Speaker Heed , as the constitution ot the state of Iowa and of the United States are exactly alike In this particular. Speaker Heed's let ter Is as follows : WASHINGTON. D. C. , Feb U Hon. TV. G. Ladd : Dear Sir I have received jour letter of Inquiry of the 21st Inst. If the provision of jour state constitution In re gard to adjournment of jour two ho cs Is the Bume as that of the United States there Beems to be no reason why the prac tice ot the United States house of repre- s.entatlve.1 should not be a precedent In thn case you describe.
