District court was reconvened yesterday
nflernoon by Judge Macy , and the trial ot
the cult ot the Sterling Manufacturing com
pany against Chief of Police Frank A. Blxby ,
the company's former manager at this
point , was commenced before a Jury. In thin
case the Sterling Manufacturing company
sues to recover from Blxby about $1,100 ,
which , It Is alleged , he appropriated to his
own use from funds belonging to the com-
patiy. Blxby admits taking tbo money , bul
denies that he did so unlawfully and with
out .authority from the plaintiff. HP as
serts that ho borrowed the money ho Is
chat-god with misappropriating and that the
loans were with the full knowledge ami
consent of the company. The plaintiff ad
mits giving Its consent to Blxby to borrow
the sum of $300 , but Insists that when latei
ho applied for a further loan ho was per
emptorily refused. Blxby has entered t
counter-claim of $2,000 damages for the al
leged breaking by the company of Its con
tract with him when It removed ihlm frorr
, Its employ on July 30 , 1897.
The circumstances surrounding the casi
have made It of considerable local Interest
Mr. Blxby , who had been In the employ o
the Sterling Manufacturing company as It
agent at this point for ten years , In July
1897 , assumed the business management o
the Globe-Democrat , a local free stiver or
gan , "which has since died a natural death
This the officers ot the Sterling Manufac
turlui ; company objected to , as they consld
ered that so long ns Blxby was In thel
employ ho should devote his entire Urn
and abilities to their Interests. The outcom
of It was that the" company dispensed will
his services , althojtjh his contract did no
j expire until July 1 of this year. Blxby'
j counter-claim Is based on the year's salar ,
I which ho would have received under th
contract had ho not been discharged ,
j The amounts with which Blxby Is charge
with misappropriating are $435.50 and $ GO (
j Considerable time was taken yesterday aft
' efnoon In securing n Jury. After counsc
had made their opening statements , coui
adjourned for the day nnd the taking c
evidence will be commenced this morning.
DeVoI Anltn to Intervene.
P. C. DeVol , the well known hardwat
dealer on Broadway , filed a petition of Intel
vcntlon yesterday In the district court I
the case of the Citizens' State bank agalni
the Lake Manawa Railway company. In tt
petition DeVol sets up that ho 1s the absc
lute and unqualified owner In fee simp ]
of block 29 , Manawa Park , and that tt
defendants , the Lake Manawa Railway con
pany and Charles R. Hannan , receiver , ha\
without regard to his right and In dlsregai
of his ownership , rightand use In the pro |
erty , caused same'to boenclosed"with othi
property by a high board fcnc-s. Furthi
the petitioner states that in order to gal
access to his property be has been compellt
to pay Receiver Hannan or his croployi
a charge or admission fee to enter sa !
enclosure and that his right In and to tt
said premises has by reason of the acts
Receiver Hannan been cut-off during tl
last year.
Continuing the petition alleges that with
the enclosure made by the high board fcn <
thq defendants have carried on a theatric
show , sleight of hand performances , pa :
oramns and booths where liquors of :
kinds , both Intoxicating and otherwise , ha1
been dispensed for sale and that they ha'
carried on within the said enclosure dance
' picnics and associations of men and womi
'
; for the -purpose of revelry , amusement ai
. I pleasure , for all of which they were r
celvlng a largo Income from the frequente
of the resort. U Is further claimed that :
these things were carried on without tl
consent of the tntcrvcnor and that li
premises were utilized therefor without t
consent and through the force and coc
clon of Receiver Hannan and his employi
the force and coercion alleged being tl
building of the high board leuuc. As sul
| able compensation for the use ot his pro
' crty Mr. DeVol asks the court to awa :
'
him $100 and also order that the high boa
fence be removed.

I'HOCKKIJINOS OT CITV COUNCIL.
Ilrlck nc'lKitnteil nn Mntrrlnl for rnv-
Inir Ccrtnln StrrrlH.
At the regular monthly meeting ot the
city council held last night ihe contract for
brick paving ordered laid was awarded to
B. A. Wlckhara , City Engineer Etnyro re
porting that his bids on all classes of brick
were the lowest. In compliance with tho.
wishes of the property owners Interested ,
Council Bluffs brick was selected for pav
ing top and bottom courses on the following
streets : North Main , Bryant , North Second ,
North First and Willow avenue. The prop
erty owners on Avenue F declared In favor
of Des Molnes brick for the top course and'
the contract was lot for that material.
From statements made by Contractor
Wlckham to the council It Is doubtful If
any considerable amount ot the paving can
be laid this year , ns It will take several
months to manufacture a sufficient supply
of bricks. Alderman Casper strenuously op
posed the use of home-made brick , which
ho eald would prove as bad a Job as the
old cedar block paving was.
Chief of Police Blxby called tho'attention
of the council to some much needed alter
ations and Improvements In the present ar
rangement ot the city Jail , In the following
communication , embodying seVeral sugges
tions nnd recommendations , which was referred
ferred to the committee of the whole :
"I would respectfully call your attention
to the Inefficient arrangement of the secant
floor of the city Jail for the handling o :
vagrants and tramps , minors , women ant
sick and Injured and to the fact that undei
present conditions no efficient arrangenieni
exists whereby quick service may be ren
dered In cases of accident to or sudden sick-
1 ness of parties properly demanding' ' our at-
tentlon.
"I would recommend that the wooden par
tltlons on the second floor be removed am
j replaced with sheet or latttco steel ; tha
the wooden beds bo replaced with Iron bedi
1 and folding bunks ; that the floor bo tllei
or laid with cement ; that the divisions hi
such as will provide ono department fo
transient lodgers and vags , one for minors
one tor women nnd one for sick or crippled
This arrangement would enable the depart
ment to classify parties under arrestor be
Ing detained , Insure the keeping of th
, apartments practically free from dirt am
vermin , ' decrease the liability of fire flfl1
. make It possible to handle charges lu i
way becoming a city of our size.
"I would also recommend that a commit
tee be appointed 'to confer with the count ;
authorities In order that nn equitable ar
rangement may be made , so that ( the pollc
department may render quick and cfficlen
service In cases of sickness or accident t
transient and dependent people.
"It Is Impossible under present condition
for the department to handle coses of sud
den and serious sickness or parties accl
dentally or seriously Injured In a way con
duclvo to their comfort or ot benefit to the , !
condition.
"Our only recourse now Is to put them 1
quarters on the second floor of the city Ja
( that by the expenditure of our best effort 1
Itt ) present ) condition wo can scarcely matt
habitable for people that are well ) or t
assume the authority of sending cases of th
kind mentioned to the hospitals , then h
these good people secure pay for sen-Ice ren
dercd as best they may.
"The police department is an emergcnc
department , and efficient service demand
prompt action at all times and In all cose
I do not believe thao economy nor publ
sentiment requires that human beings crlj
pled or sick , penniless and away froi
I friends , shall be confined la , quarters ttit
i. will Increase their suffering or hasten the !
I demise. "

DBS MOINES , ' 6ct. 3. ( Special. ) Thei
may bo a campaign , In Iowa this fall , the :
Undoubtedly will , jis all the Arwugemen
have been mado'therefor ' , and yet It Is sa
to say that'a goodly number of citizens
the state will know but little about It ar
care still less. Such apathy , such unpara
lelcd indifference on all sides , has not bee
known for years and Us Influences may 1
reflected In the results It Is , at least , tl
one great cause for fear among the repul
Means , who , while expecting the reactlc
ever following abnormal majorities , we
not prepared to find the voters In an actu
comatose state so far as the Issues are coi
Cerncd.
With such conditions existing there ui
doubtcdly would bo no danger for repu
llcans If there was a well defined opposltlo
but as a matter of fact the organlznth
perfected at Marahalltown has gone to plec
of Its own weight and the contest has d
generated to an evcry-man-for-hlmself ba
tie , with the chances for success decided
on the side of the party that holds ni
Utilizes an almost perfect organization. Tl
resignation of M. F. Hcaly of Fort Dodi
from the state central committee struck tl
democratic leaders hero cold. They frank
admit that Healy , Bashnor and some othe
were badly treated at the convention , b
they did not expect that the effects wou
GO to the extreme of driving these mi
out of the ranks of the workers. The que
( Ion of expansion seemingly so dear
Hcaly has evidently taken strong ro
among the people. Finn commenced t
campaign In the Eighth on the antl-expa
slon plan nnd has been compelled to bed
and leave the question entirely open. Tl
la mentioned merely to show that Heal
Uashor , Carr and others were nearer t
real sentiment of the people than the
who turned them down.

CHICAGO , Oct. 3. A. P. Swlncford. for
raer governor of Alaska , who Is In Chicago
declares that the prospectors who have "re
turned goldlcss from that region were un
successful because of the lack of foreslgh
falling to properly prepare for a search fo
a fortune In a new country.
"Tho trouble Is that 40,000 people made
rush for about 600 rich claims , all o
which had been taken before they ever bean
of the Klondike , and good sense will tel
any ono that six months or a year Is to
short a llmo % In which 'to reasonably expec
to make a trip of 10,000 miles , and at th
same time prospect for gold with the leas
Jegrco of success.
"Tho miners were more than ten year
finding the Klondike placers and may b
equally as long In finding equally as rlc
ground eleowhero on the Alaskan side. 1
Is a big country and development of It
mineral wealth will bo gradual. The grea
vealth of Alaska In precious metals Is in th
quartz veins with which It Is seamed an
Interlaced. The great majority of thos
who have gone to the Yukon country In th
lost year have passed through what I be
llovo Is destined to become the richest goli
mining district of Alaska. Within pisto
shot from the deck of' ' the steamship whlc
carried them are some verv rich quart
ledges now In process of development. Ther
Is gold In the Islands of the Alexander archl
pel ago and the mainland from the 'south
ern boundary as far north as Skagway ant
Talya. That I am Justified In this belief 1
proven not only by the mines now workln
and paying enormous profits , but 'by nu
merous discoveries that have lately bee
made and the largo number of prospect
now In course of development Into producln
mines. "

MINNEAPOLIS , Oct. 3. The Journal

Information from Indian sources there wll
will not bo a representative gathering o
the Pillager Indiana at the council callc
today. The runners sent out to Invlto th
malcontents to the council have returned
and report there will bo some of the Pil
lagers lu the council , but that the men who
have agreed to como are by no means repre
sentative ot the tribe. If the council does
not prove fairly representative , the federal
officials will refuse to hold It and will take
. measures for the Immediate Invasion of Bear
5 j Island.
The situation at the Island Is not Im
proved. All last night the Indians were
dancing and holding high jinks on the
Island. The patience of the officers Is ex
hausted and preparations are being made
for a hammer and 'tongs ' fight.

GREAT DAMAGE TO RICE CROP
CHARLESTON. S. C. , Oct , 3. Yesterday's
hurricane and the storm of two weeks age
have done but small damage to property Ir
this vicinity , but the loss to rice growers
was very heavy. Even damage done by the
great storm of 1393 has been exceeded. II
Is variously estimated by the planters am
rice brokers that the loss will bo from 30 tc
CO per cent. The damage Is entirely due tc
the high tides and easterly winds that havi
prevailed along th'e coast as a result of thi
storms. The tides have kept the water It
the fields for a week , and the drains refusi
to draw. The easterly wind serves to keel
the water backed up In the streams am
breaks In tbo banks have occurred on thi
PouPou , Asbpoo and Combahee rivers , am
these sections have suffered roost severely
In some cases the entire crops In those sec
lions are lost. No word has reached ben

iy , age Is not known.
m ' As far as at present known only ono llfi
