TEST SUIT ON CITY WARRANT
Officers Get Esady for a Trial of the New
State Law.
CASH BASIS FOR MUNICIPAL BUSINESS
Effect of the Trial In Expcctoil to
CliitiiBO the Entire Mel hod of
LloliiK llnnlncMN nnil Settle
UlNMUtVH.
The preparation of the petition In the
mandamus suit to compel the city treasurer
to pay the U'st warrant authorized by the
counc.ll was nol completed In time last night
to file It In the office of the cleric of the
district court. Judge Smith wsa ready to
hear It nnd although there was no session
of the court , ho remained about the room
and In the chambers all day. The petition
will be filed and heard the first thing this
morning , and Judge Smith has agreed to
defer the regular calendar business for that
purpose.
The suit Is regarded as one of the most
Important that has occurred In connection
with city affairs for many years. It has In
It several of the questions that were raised
at the last hearing of the Injunction sulta
brought by Mr. Shea , and he naturally takes j
a lively Intereat In the outcome. E'.i-Clty
Attorney Haztlton la pro ecutlng the case I
and City Attorney Wadsworth Is defending.
If the decision of the court la for the plain-
tin' , the city must go at once upon a prac
tical cash bosls.
The formality of preparing the case was
watched yertcrday with a great deal of In
terest. The little $ G warrant that had been
especially selected for the purpose of making
the test waa submitted to Treanurer. Heed.
Payment was refused upon the grounds that
there were many other wanants nearly
$135,000 worth of them-uhcad of It and It
coald not be paid until the prior warranta
were gotten out of the way. The refusal to
pay waa endorsed on the back of the war
rant In the usual way. The ceremony took
place In the presence of a little coterie of
city hall repreaentatlvcs and was watched
with a good deal of Interest , In view of the
fact that the payments of salaries In cash or
warrants depends upon the Issue. The work
of preparation of the petition and the defense -
fenso to be made by the city were at once
begun. The Intention Is to cover as nearly
ca possible every point Involved and leave
the case In an unassailable condition , Ex-
City Attorney Hazeltca has voluntarily taken
hold of the matter for the recson that the
procedure let on the lines recommended by
him to the republican city administration.
Speaking of the matter yesterday he said :
"It Is the only way the city can provide
to comply with the aim and purpose of the
now charter law requiring municipal affairs
to be placed on a caah basis. The case will
In a manner settle also all question KB to
the legality of the warrants now outstanding.
It will leave , If we win , two ways of dis
posing of the outstanding warrants. One
plan will be to have the council refund them ,
and the other Is to have them put Into judg
ment and then refunded. The latter will
neat probably be followed , for once In Judg-
nent , all question of the legality of the war
ranta la settled , and refunding bonds based
upon court judgments could probably be more
easily deposed of. Wo have no doubt but
wo will win the case , and expect to make It
lust as strong as possible. "

FINDS NEW LAND FOR TAXATION.
Count- Surveyor Cook Ileturnn the
Area of Accretions.
County Surveyor Cook has completed the
work of surveying the accretions to lands In
he county lying along the Missouri river an ]
las filed his report ( or the Inspection of the
Joard of County Supervisors. The report
was somewhat a surprise to the board , for It
brings uuder taxation nearly 1,200 acres of
valuable 'farm ' lands. The owners of property
to which this land had accreted were using II
and receiving all of the benefit derived , but
as It did not show on the records It could
never be assessed for taxation. It was a
snap that many of them did cot like to re-
Inqulsh and perhaps there would have been
no occasion for It at the present time If at
tention had not been called to It several
months ago by a suit that was filed In the
district court , la wlilch ono farmer near
ttoney Creek made a large number of bis
neighbors defendants in a suit to compel
the surveys to be made. This was a friendly
suit , designed to fix the boundaries of their
farm lands. The surveys wore ordered by the
court and the result Is that a large tract ol
now land Is placed on the books for taxation.
The 'board finally ordered a general survey
to bo made , with the satisfactory results
mentioned. The total cost of making the
surveys was $606.60 , but the taxes for the
first year will more than re-pay the ccst.
The survey resulted In giving the Cres
cent Land company 245 acres of new lands
much of It worth J40 an acre. Nearly fifty
tracts altogether have been Increased b ]
the addition of greatly varying amounts. The
work lias been all done In the vlclotty of the
mouth of the Boyer river and other smal
streams. It has not been finis-he ! In that
vicinity yet. and there Is more land yet to
be discovered. The accretions In the south-
era part of the county have gone the other
way and more than 2,000 acres of the fines
and roost highly Improved farms In the
county have slipped into the Missouri river

Dea Molnea Capital : With all Iowa backIng -
Ing Colonel James Rush Lincoln , an ex-

Sioux City Journal : The decision of the
Iowa supreme court that on expenditure ol

or good law in eome places , but it Is all
right in Iowa. Nothing Is too i'kh for the

Burlington Hawkeye : TheTlowa republican

road here If the people of Dea Molncs will
pay the road a bonus of $160,000. Wardall ,
who has bean hero himself for several Uaje ,

attended to , urU that the scheme has the
unsnlmoua endorsement of tlio farmers of

Ice Is to build the line from Like Mills

SAN FRANCISCO , April 29. .News . has
just reached the city of a terrible explosion
of powder that was being carried by pack
train to Colonel 'Dan ' Burn's Canlelarla mine
The best thing with which
a mother citn crown her
daughter is a com
mon sense knowledge -
) edge of the distinct
ly feminine physi
ology. Every wo-
\nian should thor-
'oughly understand
bcr own nature.
, Every woman
vshould under-
"V.stand " the su-
Jj'prenie ' import-
fiance of keeping
herself well and
strong in a
womanly way.
Nearly all of the
pains and aches , nearly all the weakness
and sickness and suffering of women is due
to disorders or disease of the organs dis
tinctly feminine.
A woman who suffers in this way is un
fitted for wifehood and motherhood. Ma
ternity is a menace of death. Thousands
of women suffer in this way because their
innate modesty will not permit them to
tubmit to the disgusting examinations and
local treatment insisted upon by the average
physician. These ordeals are unnecessary.
Dr. R. V. Fierce , an eminent and skillful
specialist , for thirty yearn chief consulting
physician to the Invalids' Hotel'and Suigi-
cal Institute , at Buffalo , N. Y. , has dis
covered a wonderful remedy with which
women may treat and speedily cure them
selves in the privacy of their own homes.
This medicine is known as Dr. Pierce's Pa-
vorite Prescription. It acts directly on the
delicate and important organs concerned.
It makes them well and strong. It allays
inflammation , heals ulceration , soothes
and rests the tortured nerves. Taken
Sain
uring'thc critical period , it banishes the
usual discomforts and makes baby's advent
easy and almost painless. Thousands of
women who were once weak , sickly , nerv
ous fretful invalids , are now happy , healthy
wives , because of this medicine. It is sold
by all good medicine dealers and no honest
dealer will advise a substitute.
"When I commenced using Or. 1'lerce's med
icines tome three years ace , " writes Mrs. Kiln J ,
Fox , care of W. C. Fox , of Eldorado , Saline Co. ,
Ills. " I was the picture of death , I had no heart
to take anything. Welzht was 125. My husband
had been to see five different doctors about my
trouble ( female weakness ) , I commenced taking
Dr. Tierce's medicines , nlso wrote to him for ad
vice. I took four bottles of Dr. I'ierce's Favorite
Prescription , and one vial of his Pleasant Pel
lets ' and well . "
, am now a woman.
