L C. 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. Gerber was
iu Omaha as lute as Tuesday afternoon when
lie wrote a letter to Mr. Brackett telling
him that If the draft ulioulil happen not to
ho honorc-d ho would return In a tow dajs
and fix It up , and stated that ho would start
yesterday for Minneapolis He Is a fine lookIng -
Ing man of fifty-five or sixty years old and
represented himself here as being the agent
for a largu winery In New York , and en
gaged In the business of selling fine goods
directly to the retail trade.

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

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. Last Slimmer at the
special session the house frequently nd-
Journcd from Thursday until Monday , and
from Monday until Thursday. I cnnnot
bee that It Is any longer from Saturday to
Wednesday than from Tniirsdny until Mon-

Its news service to that paper was denied by
Judge Waterman today.
The caao grew out of an alleged violation
on the part of the Inter Ocean of the rules
of the Associated Press. It wan proposed
to try the Inter Ocean for this violation nnd
perhaps to nuspend or expel It from mem
bership In the Aseoclflted Press. Tlio Inter

prolonged argument the court today denied
the application.
