Appealed to the district court yesterday to
assistance In settling a property dispute be
tween themselves ani their daughter , Cora
nd her husband , B. T. Watterraan. In th
petition filed the allegations are made tba
last July the plaintiffs , realizing that the

position of their property without making-
will , decided to give their homestead 1
etutsman's first addition to their daughte
for use during her life , but they desired th
deed to bo made to her children. They em
ployed an attorney for this purpose and gav
him explicit Instructions concerning the mat

made this attorney had a conference wit
B. Watterman and was Induced by him t
make a fee title conveying the property t
Airs. Wattermau , accompanied by a contrac
to provide for the care of the old peopl
during their lives. The plaintiffs allege tha
they signed this paper under the tmpresslo
that It was what they had ordered the al

Tbe political situation , which has cot been
as clear as the party leaders like to have tt
since the convention on Wednesday , was still
further clouded last evening by the.positive
refusal ot Christian Straub to make the race
( or the ofllce of aldcrman-at-large. .
When tbo preliminary , or Informal , ballot
was being taken for bis nomination by the
convention Mr. Straub arose from bis chair
in the body of the hall and announced that
ho was not a candidate and aaked the dele
gates not to vo'e for him. There were ex
pressions of regret and disapproval all over
the bouse , and Mr. Straub was Informed by
dozens of voices that he could not withdraw.
Mr. Straub made uo further protest and his
name was endorsed by the convention on the
next ballot by a majority that was quite
nattering. After the convention Mr. Straub
was earnestly remonstrated with and urged
to make the fight. He continued to be very
adverse to doing so , and reached the con
clusion yesterday that he could not consent
to be a candidate , 'and sent the following
letter to the city central committee :
COUNCIL BLUFFS. la. , Mnrch 17. To
the Chairman of the Republican City Cen
tral Committee : Dear Sir Having declined
to allow my name to lie used us candidate
for the office of nlderman-at-large before
the republican convention , nnd notwith
standing my protests , my name having
been placed on the ticket , I am now com
pelled to take this method of Informing you
. nnd the voters of the city of Council Bluffs
that I will not stand as fuch candidate for
. election , find hereby bep you to take the
necessary steps to provide for another
candidate.
Tnnnklng the convention for the honor
bestowed on me , I am , very respectfully
yours , CHRIST STRAUB.
Mr. Straub has been a life-long republican
and his declination does not mean that he
has left the party even temporarily or that
ho will not support every one of the nom
inee. A meeting of the city central com
mittee was called last night and It was
agreed to place the name of Soren Wilson
the candidate -who received the next highest
vote In the convention , upon the ticket In
place of Mr. istraub.

Grand Jnry Indict * a Noted Pension
Snlndler.
Judge Woolson convened the grand jury
In the federal court yesterday and set tt to
work after Imparting the usual Instructions.
In the afternoon the Jury returned an Indict
ment against C. C. Cralle , a professional who
has made his living for the last ten years by
Impersonating United States officers and se
curing free board end considerable money. His
plan has been to represent himself as especial
special pension examiner and It Is believed
that hr > has secured a good many handsome
fees by representing that he would do cer
tain things In connection with the oppllca
tlons for pensions. For the last year be
has been operating In Iowa and Special
Agent W. S. Ayres of Burlington has been
on his track. Ho was finally arrested at
Topeka , Kan. , upon the same charge and
now under Indictment. H Is possible , how
ever , that the federal officers In Kansas will
consent to have htm tried hero first. Tbe
department at Washington has expressed
such a desire for tbc reason that the cases
against him hero are considered to be
stronger and It Is believed that Judge Wool-
son will be more nearly able to give him full
justice.
A Jury was empanelled to hear the testi
mony against Carl Ferris , a bootlegger. The
vldence was not very clear and the court
ustalncd a motion of the defense and in

Des Molnes Leader : The 'Ellison habitual

criminals who desire to reform should be

corollary that those who will not reform
should bo retained In prison. Progressive
punishment Is scientific and In practice has
produced satisfactory results.
Sioux City Tribune : Some of the free sil
ver democrats are Insisting that they will not
recognize any responsibility for the success
of the board of control law It the gold demo
crats are to be given a position on the board.
But as they have not been Invested with any
minority there Is no reason why they should

sponsible tar the execution of the law and
: he responsibility cannot be placed on either
free silver or gold democrats.

Sioux City Journal : Hon. C. L. Davidson
of Hull was one of the boy soldiers of the
civil war , and his sudden death was probably
traceable to his military service. He was
struck over the heart by a spent bullet. It
- did not penetrate the flesh , but for a long
, time seriously affected the action of the
organ and caused a great deal ot pain. Of
ate years It had not given him much trouble ,
, but It doubtless weakened the heart and In
sidiously produced changes that at last cut
him down at his prime and In the midst of
apparent health. Mr. Davidson was a man
of unbounded activity , full of enterprise and
public spirit and will be grievously missed.

MOVE FK mUKCTIO.VOP PEACE. !
i- Rear Admiral nereiford Favor * the
Anglo-American Alllnnce.
LONDO.V , March 17. Rear Admiral Lord
Charles Beresford , in an Interview with a
t. correspondent cf the Associated Press today
3'
' warmly advocated an Anglo-American al
liance as a "move In the direction ot peace
and calculated to Immensely develop trade. "
He added :
"Such an alliance Is natural , and I believe
the mere fact of Ita conclusion would deter-
othera from attacking any Inadequately de
fended Interests of either country. Now Is
the time to accomplish It when the advan
tages are apparent to both countries.
"A decade hence , when , If It desires , the
United States can become a first-class naval
power , and will perhaps have adopted the
policy ot free trade , It might not be worth
Its while to undertake the responsibilities
of an alliance with Great 'Britain. '
"When America has built Its navy it will
be In a position to enforce Its demands
which will not take it long now , with UE
enormous latent resources and mechanical
and engineering facilities.
"An Anglo-American alliance would be the
most powerful factor In the world for peace
and the development of commerce. "
tipeaklng ot the possibilities of the United
States going to war , Lord Beresford re
marked : " 'If ' It ever does , no matter what
happens at the beginning , it must eventual ! )
win because of the enthusiasm and Intense
patriotism of Its people. "

At the opening of the consideration Funk
moved the previous question on the bill as
a whole. Lothrop begged that It be not en
forced , as ho wanted to be heard on another
amendment relative to the support of lion
resident Insane. > But Punk was Inexorable ;
It was now , he said , the fifteenth day of the
bill's consideration , but the matter referred
to by Lothrop had been fully discussed al
ready. Ho Insisted on the previous ques
tloa , and It carried , 27 to 12. An amendment
by Bell to make the tenure of office of the
superintendents and managers of Institutions
two Instead of four years under the board
was pending. Mitchell tried to secure a re
consideration of the previous question vote
eo this could bo taken up , but the chair
would not allow It. The 1)111 was at once
read for the third time and placed on Its
passage , with the result Indicated , The bill
went at once to the house.
After a protracted discussion the house
this morning paused Frlnk's bill granting
osteopaths the right to practice In Iowa. The
discussion was conducted along the same line
as that of yesterday. The present law pro
vides that after January 1 , 1S99 , poraonu
starting to practice medicine In Iowa shall
glvo evidence of having graduated from a
recognized school of medicine with four
courses of not less than twenty-six weeks
no two of which shall come In < he same
year. To avoid this provision Prentlss In
troduced an amendment that practitioners
In osteopathy should not within the meanIng -
Ing of the law be considered In the prac
tice of medicine. The bill then pawed by
a vote of 61 to 30.
Speaker Punk overruled a motion to re
consider the vote byvhlch hewas sus
tained by the house lr recommitting the
manufactures bill to the committee on sup
pression of Intemperance. It Is believed no
further effort will be made < o entangle the
party In false Issues at 'this ' session.
The board of control1 bill was messaged
from the senate and referred to the special
house committee , with 'letert as chairman.
It was received with great applause when
Its announcement was made.
CHANGES.FAVORED. . .
In the hotel lobbies and other places of
congregation fop the legislators the gossip
tonight Indicates strongly that there Is In
the house considerable sentiment In favor
of torno radical changes In the board of con
trol bill. The measure Will probably not be
taken up by . .the . house Jtlll theflrat of next
week. There are two changes which will be
urged with great earncstneca la tbo house ,
both of whlh are considered serious. One
Is that the members of the board of con
trol shall be made elective b"y the general
assembly In Joint convention Instead of ap
pointive by the governor with the confirma
tion of the senate. The other U that the
educational Institutions shall be placed
under the supervisory control of the board.
The senate backers of the bill will oppose
both these changes to the end. A membe.
of the special house committee tonight ex
pressed the opinion that the bill could not
pass the house without both changes. It Is
generally believed , however , that he Is mis
taken as to the houKi opinion and that that
body -will not kill the bill for the sake of
the changes.

son is getting warm. The Eleventh district
already has four , candidates In the race : J.
i.M. Cleland of Sioux City , J. U. Sammls of
Lemars , Ed Brown of Sheldon and O. J.
Clarke of Slbley. It Is * ajd this evening
that Governor Shaw has Indicated pretty
definitely that he will not glvo the place to
I the Eleventh district , for the reason that
j he proposeo to make A. H. Davlson of Rock
i Rapids secretary of the board of control
| and will not glvo the other place to the
same district. Senator Palmer of Washlng-
I ton county Is named as a probable winner
by some , but others consider that the
Eleventh district Is far from being out of
the ra < : o and that a northwest man may yet
get the place.

It becomes necessary for me to absolutely
and positively decline to have my name
again considered In connection with a re-
r.omlnatlon. I have arrived at this con
clusion after mature consideration , and It
must bo regarded by my friends as final ,
In this connection I want to express rny
deep sensibility of the high honor conferred
upon me by the republicans of the Second
district , and In return to give assurance of
my heartfelt appreciation and gratitude for
the same.
"Tho lines of battle on which the approaching
preaching campaign IB to bo fought will be
clearly defined by the two great parties cf
the country , and I am firmly of the opinion
that a majority of the votes In the Second
congressional district will bo cast In favor
of a continuance of the principles of up
holding the national honor and promoting
prosperity , to generally subscribed to In
1896 , thus Insuring the triumphant election
In November next of the republican con
gressional nominee , whoever he may be , to
promote whtth It Is perhaps unnecessary for
me to e4 y that I pledge my earnest and un
swerving support. "

statement that bo was short $2,900 and sayIng -
Ing ho was going to Chicago to make some
money and pay back the shortage.
Mr. Fear was a man of high reputation for
honesty' and trustworthiness and during the
Illness of City Treasurer Mason had been
trusted with the city funds. It Is believed
ho rpeculated with the funds and when he
was defeated In the democratic city conven
tion for renomlr.atlon last night he con
cluded to flee rather than bo caught short.
Treasurer Mason has turned over property
sufficient to Insure his bondsmen and the

CREATES A NEW SQUADRON
( Cotlnucd from First Page. )
remains of the steamer City of Merlda ,
burned and sunk In 1879 , for eighteen years
a constant menace to shipping entering tbo
harbor. A large quantity of dynamite was
necessary to accomplish the plan. I learn
from the highest authority that this dynam
ite was not the high grade referred to , but
of the lower grade commercially known as
rack-rock. The work was finally ac
complished In June , 1897. Nearly two tons
of explosives were used during the twenty-
two months of the work. I con state posi
tively that thlo material was bought from
Miles tt Co. of New York. Shipments wcro
made In customary boxes and at various
times. The party who Informed me also
stated when asked whether or not the
dynamite was used In Cuba. "No , our army
does not employ It for any purpose In the
field and It Is not used by any one outside
the departments of public works and port
authorities for blastingpurposes. . Pert of
this significant low grade Is used because
cheaper and less dangerous to handle. "
I asked him If It was possible some la
borer could have stolen any explosives from
the public stores of sufficient quantity to
construct a. mine or torpedo.
"No , " he said , "all low grade dynamite re
ceived to destroy the Merlda was employed
In the.work. . . Since then none has been re
ceived In stores. " He also added that the
cost of removing the wreck amounted to
nearly $25,000. From this statement tt would
appear that If Selwyn's shipment was re
ceived the greatest secrecy was maintained
even at this end about Its ultimate disposi
tion. SYLVESTER SCOVEL.

Nahant , Japson , Oatsklll , Montauk and Man
hattan , can Ix ? fitted out for harbor defense.
The principal work required on them Is to
lay now decks.
Commandant Casey said today that the
monitors could bo made effective as defend
ers of torpedo fields or where they could bo
anchored In shallow water and their big
guns used to advantage. The effectiveness
of these bit ; guns , out of date as they arc ,
Is formidable.

special colors for cotton and mixed goode.
The use of dyes that claim to color alt
kinds of materials with the ono package wilt
only caueo ruin and disappointment. Cotton
Is a vegetable fibre and requires a special
dye entirely different from the dye that !
needed to color an animal fibre like wool.
While the Imitation d > e.i that claim to color
all kinds of materials with the one packaga
may give fairly satisfactory results on rib-
b : a and small articles , yet for carpet ragtt
acid for dress goods and Jackets , and In fact
any of the usual Jobs of < ! > clng , they simply
stain the cotton part and give a streaked
or spotted color that will quickly fade out
when exposed to light.
Ulanieml Dyte have sixteen special fast
colors tor cotton and mixed goods that never
fall to give satisfaction. They cost much
more to make than the Imitation dyes , nml
hence the dealer has to pay more for them ,
but the price to the user Is just the eamo
n.j for the cheap dyes that have to make *
deceptive claims In order to sell their goods.
