The trial of the suit of C. E. Haggerty
and wife against E. T. Waterman and wife
In the district court was completed yes
terday and taken under advisement by
Judge Mncy. The plaintiffs filed nn amended
petition yesterday , setting up that at the
time Haggorty signed the deed In contro
versy nnd thp contract of support he was
of unsound mind nnd consequently not com
petent to understand what ho was doing.
The defense sot up by Mr. nnd Mrs. Water
man was that the old folks deeded the prop
erty to their daughter , Mrs. Waterman ,
In conoldcratlon of her and her husband
contracting to support them for the re-
mnlnder of their lives. On the resuming
of the hearing yesterday morning the
plaintiffs made nn offer In court to glvo
a conveyance of the property to Mrs.
Waterman for her life and to her children
absolutely , to take effect Immediately on
the death of the plaintiffs. This offer was
refused by Mr. nnd Mrs. Waterman and
when during the course of her examination
Mrs. Waterman was asked by the counsel
for the plantlffs If she Intended holding on
to the property of her aged parents In
opposition to their expressed wishes she
answered that she did. As brought forth
in the testimony , the object of .Mr. and
Mrs. Haggerty In suing to have the deed
set aside is that the property may be so
deeded that their grand children , the chil
dren of the defendants , may have the
benefit of It. The case has attracted more
than ordinary attention , the aged plaintiffs
being pioneer residents of this city.

To the Citizens of Council Bluffs :
Whereas , Wednesday , September 21 , has

Mississippi Exposition ; and ,
Whereas , Iowa Is the first In Importance of

wnttnmlo county and Council Bluffs are second
end to mi county nnd city In the state , the
time seems opportune for our citizens to

measures for participation In the exorcises
of that day.
Therefore , I call n public meeting of citi
zens to bo held at the Dohany opera house

J. T. Ollphant of Newcastle , Ind. , was In
the city yesterday looking over the ground
for a suitable location for a plant for the
manufacturing of steel bridges and Iron
structural work of all kinds. He conferred
with the city nnd county authorities and
stated ho was much Impressed with the city ,
which ho considered a most desirable loca
tion for the establishment of such a con
cern.
cern.From
From Investigations made by Mr. Ollphant
ho had learned t'hat there , were upwards of
fi.OOO wooden bridges of one kind nnd an
other In this county alone. In many states
the county wooden bridges are being re
placed with iron and steel structures ns be
ing more economical In the long run. This ,
Mr. Ollphant believed , would be the case
In this county before long , especially If a
plant for the manufacturing of such work
was In operat'lon here. Ho thought the time
for the establishing of such a plant hero was
opportune and although he come to no de
cision while hero yesterday , there Is a be
lief among those with whom ho consulted
that something may develop from his visit.
To Mayor Jennings while discussing the
project Mr. Ollphant ) stated that such a plant
as ho contemplated erecting would give em
ployment to nt least seventy or eighty men
within six months after getting It under
way.

Chief of Police Blxby ts having consider-
able trouble with the city councir over the
matter of bis bills for the feed of his horse
and telegraph tolls. The chief uses bla
private horse In Che service of tbo city and
expects that the city pay at least part of
the expense of feeding the animal. Some of
the aldermen are , however , opposed to this.
The matter has been referred to a special
council committee consisting of Aldermen
Sayles , Casper aad Johnson , who am to
report at the next regular meeting. The
bill for telegraph toNs , which only amounts
to 'about J3 , was thrown out by the council
and payment refused.
Another bill of the chief's t'bat wan thrown
out by the council was ono for $2 for photo
graphs of n pickpocket that ho had takru.
Chief Blxby contends that It Is the custom
for police departments In all cities of any
slzo to have criminals of any nofo photo
graphed so that pictures can be placed In the
rogues' gallery nnd sent to the police of
other cities.
Chief Blxby has notified the council that
.ho will not UPC his horse In the service
of the city untess his feed Is paid for nnd
no matter how Important the business maybe
bo demanding , he will .not make use of the
telegraph service until the bill already pre
sented Is ordered paid. The refusal of the
council to allow these bills Is based on the
claim that there Is nothing In the city or
dinances which provides for their payment ) .

Iowa. I'rexH Comment.
Marshalltown Times-Republican : It has
been asserted that the democratic party In
Iowa is dead. This may be so , but It Is in
cumbent upon the republican party to see
that Its corpse Is well burled this fall.
Davenport Republican : There was fusion
at Marshnlltown. but also some confusion
when It was found that only about sixty pop
ullsts nnd forty-three silver republicans
were In attendance , while there were about
BOO democrats.
Cedar Rapids Republican : "Tho democrats
have come to us , " said General Weaver ,
"we hove not gone to them. " The Marshnll
town platform verified this statement. The
populists have not been swallowel ; they
have swallowed.
Sioux City Tribune : September 21 Is Iowa

of the day. As the latter probably has been
working on his address for some time , some
thing line may well be expected from him.

DUUUQUE , la. . Sept. 13. ( Special. ) The
first prosecution for a violation of the war
revenue law waa conducted before Commis
sioner Cady In the custom house. P. W.
Morgan , who manufactures and sells a patent
medicine , was the defendant. Last week
General Deputy Collector C. 1) . Hayden en
tered Dr. Morgan's place to view his stock
of goods and ascertain If the sealed bottles
bore ( revenue stnmps of the denomination re
. quired by law. Mr. Hayden found many
bottles around which circulars were wrapped ,
advertising the bottle for sale at } ! All of
these bottles bore revenue stamps of the
5-8-ccnt denomination. The law requires
that a 23-cent bottle of medicine shall bear
a 5-S-ccnt stamp , and that an additional
G-Sc-stamp shall bo put on for each additional
25 cents at which the bottle and Its contents
Is valued. Therefore the bottle should bear
a 2 t-2-cent stamp.Mr. . Hayden caused Mr.
Morgan's arrest and the defendant stood up
for examination. Morgan admitted all the
allegations , but set up in defense that the
bottles bearing the dollar wrapper were sold
for 23 cents.
"Then why didn't you advertise them for
sale at 25 cents , and not for $1 ? " asked Mr.
Cram.
"Well , to bo honest about It. " replied
Morgan , "I wanted to let the public think
it was getting | 1 worth of medicine for 2.
cents. "
"Just a trick of the trade , that's all , "
Interpolated Mr. Longuevlllc.
Morgan was bound over in $300 bonds to
await the action of the federal grand jury.

SIOUX CITY , Sept. 13. ( Special. ) Con
siderable Interest Is being taken in the
AVoodbury county democratic convention ,
which Is to bo held tomorrow for the pur
pose of placing In nomination candidates for
the various county offices. Last spring the
democrats carried Sioux City by large ma
jorities , every candidate being elected. It
Is this fact which has brought out i\ large
field of candidates for county ofllccs from
the ranks of the democrats , populists and
free silver republicans. They have formed
an alliance , and will divide up the various
odlccs. Captain Harry Gooch , the young
commander of Company II , Fifty-second
Iowa volunteers , Is being urged for candi
date for the office of clerk of the courts.
The young man has never been In politics ,
hut the war brought him to notice and he
may get the nomination.
