The case ngalnst Charles Blerwlth , pro. pneior of the Metropolitan hotel , charged with kicking Patrolman Swanson out of b\t \ hotel one day last week when the officer wat tlitro In performance of his duty , was dis missed In pollco court yesterday morning on Illarwlth paying the costs. When the case was called Swouson failed to appear to prose cute. Judge Aylesworth made one or two Harcastlc remarks about an officer permitting himself to bo thrown out of any place and Informed Blerwlth that ho was fortunate In getting off so lightly. Swanson when asked why he had cropped the case said "he thought It was best to. " The Incident haa attracted considerable attention and the fact that Blerwlth was not charged with Inter fering with an officer has been more or less criticised. The excuse offered for Swanson Is that ho was now to the pollco business nnd when kicked out by Blerwlth did not exactly know how far his authority went In such cases.

In order to take a short cut home Atkinson went out of the back door , but hearing the voices of several men and women In the vacant lot his curiosity war aroused. Ho tried to look through a bole In the fence , but the darkness prevented him seeing anything. Then ho climbed the fcnco and looked Into the lot. One of the men In thu party who wa : close to the fetico saw him aud drawing a revolvet tired point blank at Atkinson. The bullol whizzed past his ear and the powder burner his face.

Two of the smoothest swindlers that evei turned a trick 1n this city struck Counci : Bluffs two weeks ago and as a result ol their visit and cunningly contrived plant Lougco & Lougee aud J. W. Squire , tht loan brokers , discovered yesterday that thej had been victimized , the former to the tun < ot $677 and the latter In the sum of $200 The schemes whereby the swindlers securec the money were both daring and novel. In the early part of the week before lasl a man representing himself to be Jame : L. Palmer called on Lougee & Lougee ant showed them a warranty deed to 120 acres of land In James township , this county which he claimed he had purchased fron the owner , Theodore Cowltz. The deoc bore what appeared to be the signatures o Cowltz nnd his wlfo and appeared to hi properly executed. Cowltz , the owner of thi land In question , formerly lived In thl : county , hut now resides just across thi Oklahoma line In Kansas and Lougee & Lougee were aware of the fact that he hai this property on the market for sale. Th < warranty deed was dated October C ani Palmer Informed Mr. Lougee thnt he ex pected to take possession of the farm aboul March next , but that he would require ft borrow some money to make a few needec1 repairs. Asked how much he required Palmer sali : ho guessed $800 would be about the sun : and then said bo thought be would be able to do with 5750. He told Mr. Lougee thai he had talked with a broker in Avocn. well known to Lougee , who was willing to loan the money , but ho asked a higher commis sion than he , Palmer , thought he ought to be asked to give. Mr. Lougee thought he could let him have the money on bottci terms and Palmer said he would think the matter over. He was In no hurry , anyhow , Lougee suggested that he file an applica tion for the loan anyhow and Palmer said ho did not mind doing so and ho expected to bo back In town about Friday and would call and get the money If ho did not make a deal with the men In Avoca. Friday came and Palmer sent word thai he could not reach town before evening. H ( arrived that evening and presented Louge < with an abstract of the property made by the Union Abstract company of this city. The abstract showed a judgment against the property of $73. Palmer expressed surprise that Cowitz had said nothing , but was sure aa he vas an honest man , he would pay It But to make Lougco & Lougeo safe In tin matter , he suggested they take the amount out ot the $7uO. which they did and gave him the balance , $077. The records at the court house show that Palmer filed thi deed for record and the mortgage given ti Longer & Lougeo was also recorded. Now It happened that Cowltz had placet his property In the hands of J. Martin the elevator man at Hancock , to sell foi 'him ' and the latter had just completed thi gale when , to his astonishment , he reai In the papers the notlco of the sale fron Cowltz to Palmer. He wrote to Cowltz am last Saturday received word from him tha ho had not cold the land and had nevei heard of the man Palmer. Martin came te Council Bluffs yesterday and then Lougei & Lougeo discovered the fact that they hai been nicely worked by a very clover swlndli for nearly $700. While Palmer was working Lougee & Lou- gee a man supposed to be a partner of htf got his work In on J. W. Squire. To Squire ho represented himself to bo Frank L. Smlt * of Macedonia , a well known farmer of this county , and applied for a loan of $500 oc some land. Squire , not doubting that the mat was who ho claimed to be , advanced $200 but as the abstract showed that there was previous mortgage of $2,000 on the iant wanted to look Into the matter further be fore loaning the remaining $300. This wai satisfactory to the man and he said he wouli call the next day. Needless to Bay he dU : not. Now It happened that the $2,000 loan 01 this land of Smith's had been made by Lou- gee & Lougee nnd wheii Squire and thej carae to compare notes Squire lenrne > d thai the man he loaned the money to was noi Smith and did not bear even the ollghtesi re-semblance to him. The case U now In the hands of the police. "llntlle.hln Dnr" lit SeliooU. Friday , November IS. will bo celebrate , as 'Battleship day" In the public school of Council Bluffs.

At the adjourned meeting of thp city coun cil laet night a resolution was adopted re quiring all railroad companies and the motor company to reconstruct their bridges over Indian creak so that they would not be below the established' city grade and no that they shall leave n clear and unob structed waterway under each brldgo not less than forty-two feel In width , The city marshal was Instructed to notify each of the railroads that the city would hold them llabln for any Injury or damage that might bo caused by the obstruction of n free wate-rway under their respective bridges. These bridge * . It In claimed , have been mainly -the cause In the pant for In dian creek overflowing Its banks In thp event of a freshet. The committee on bridges and city property was authorized to replank the bridge ou Broadway over the creek and raise It eight Inches. The resolution providing for the paving of Fourth street with asplmltum and Harri son street with brick was adopted and the city clerk Instructed to advertise for bids. The paving of Pierce street between First and Stutsman streets was originally In cluded In this resolution , but the council liist night , after discussing the matter for nearly an hour , finally decided to cut It out. The special committee to which had ben referred .the . bills of Chief of Police Blxby for horse feed , telegraphing and photographing criminals reported , recom mending that the chief be * allowed $6 a month for horse feed and that all tele graphing to be done by the police depart ment be done under the supervision nnd approval of the mayor. With reference to the photographing of criminals the commit tee recommended that henceforth no ex pense bo Incurred for photographing pris oners except such as are held to the district court for crimes punishable by Imprison ment In the penitentiary and then only on the approval of the committee on police and health. The general sidewalk ordinance providing for the laying of n number of brick side walks In different parts of the city was passed. A resolution was adopted Instruct ing the city attorney to require the parties who secured In the spring of last year the contract to lay plank sidewalks to complete the work. The contractors have failed to lay a largo portion of sidewalk where there Is considerable grading to be clone. Eugene Vedder. who had a bill before the council of $6 for damage to his buggy by reason of defective roadbed at Tenth nvontio and Sixteenth street , was ordered allowed the sum of $3 in settlement of his claim.

APPLE CROP JS _ VERY SHORT S n p In the Union Kail * Ilvlorv llic Average * Small 'Crop -M > rou < l A CHICAGO. Oct. 24. The Orange Judd Farmer tomorrow will say : "Tho apple crop of the United States Is smaller than It has been slnco reliable statistics have been col lected. The total supply from the 1898 crop of the United States Is 7,700,000 barrels , compared with something ' over -10,000,000 Itarrels fast vear nnd 70.000,000 barrels In the record breaklne cron of 1898. The failure Is widesnread. reaching from the Pacific Coast to Maine , and In none of the states does the outout of fruit approach an average. In the great annlc utates of the west the crop la almost an absolute failure , although the situation In Michigan Is better than else where. having about two-third of the bumper crop of 189C. New York has only one-fifth of a full crop. Thp failure Is attributed to the fact that during the blooming season there was excessive rainfall , which washed out the pollen and prevented proper fertiliza tion by Insects , whllo a coi'd wave added to the injury , and subsequent moist , humid weather was very favorable to the develop. ment of fungous diseases. The Ontario crop Is decidedly short. The crop of Europe Is renorted below the normal. " I'F.NSIONK FOR AVI3STKH.VKTKHAMS. . Snrvlvom of Civil Wnr Ilcmciiiliprnl by the ( ovrrnmeiit. WASHINGTON.

Mlsi Drooks and I were Invited bv Major Summe to go with him aud his friends. Lteutenan Hobaon. the hero. Major Smith and pcvera other majors and captains I havtf met et many that I have forgotten tholr names am board the Maria Teresa. Wo started i happy , jolly party , on the tug Chapman , am passing the Merrlmac and Relna Mercede : wo steamed out nast Morro Into the armi of the grand old ocean. How lovely to fee the ocean breeze after standing over feve patients , you can Imagine. The day.couli not have been lovelier ; the ocean had a deep heavy swell , but as we were all good sallon wo enjoyed that. The men all enjoyed wha they considered a good Joke. As we roundec Morro. going west , we caught a heavy FCi and the tug being low the waves wnshei completely over the deck and we wore sonkei to the knees , our clean linen skirts wen limp , but as their white duck trousers weiv as bad wo didn't care. After about twi hours we sighted the historic men-of-war the Maria Teresa and Onuendo. The Binal boat was lowered and for a moment wi held our breath how could wo climb dowi that perpendicular ladder Into that rolling bobbing eggshell of a boat ? And It rcall : was a difllcult thing to do , as we had ti Jump from the ladder Into the boat at jus the right moment. We did it safely am were rowed over to the Maria Teresa , when our courage was again tested by cllmblui up the straight affair they called a ladder built Into the side of the ship. At Inst wi wore all safely ou the poor Maria Teresa We climbed over broken Iron , aud as every thing that could burn did so and overythlm was covered with ashes , wo were soon black Lieutenant llobson showed us over. Yoi know he has been given a difficult piece o engineering , that of raising the half-sunkei men-of-war. Wo went over every part , Inti the small gun turrets. One large gun 1 still loaded. All the gunners were klllei by one shell and none had time to shoo the labt ehell. As I thought of the dying hopeless Spanish men the ehlp Itself seeinee to be possessed with feeling as though thi Inanimate thing had suffered , too. Tli < Maria Teresa , with Its dull , rusty Iron burnt orange in color , lying close up to th < shore In an Inlet , the dusky green mountain and deep blue ocean , all supremely beautiful Lieutenant Hohson looks much older thai the papers give as his age. I bellevo It ha : been given as 28. He IH charming so mod eat and has one peculiarity , and that IH h ! deliberate manner of talking. He has ni unusually musical voice and won't pay th' ' wrong word In the wrong place. After w < had been over the Teresa aud had our pho los snapped by Major Smith , leaning agalns the guns , etc. , we descended to thu boat t try surf landing. It was great fun. I heard yesterday that In the hills out o 1,200 men 900 were sick , and that th < graves could not be dug quickly enough. Th men are to bo blamed , for they drink am also eat the fruits before becoming uccll mated. I have oulv eaten a pineapple sine I have been on the Island. Mangos am frultn I have never before eaten I neve touch. BO I have kent well. But. of course thu terrible rains would also make sickness but the men help the rain bv their careless nets. In tlmo of war. with so many me dying , life becomes of small Importance nn the men set reckless.

( Special. ) The constitutional amendment to be voted on next month In Iowa is attracting much at tention In the northwestern part of tht state. In this section the politicians size up the situation thus : This amendment provides that each county shall be entitled to aC least one representative In the legis lature ; and Its adoption will greatly In crease the power nnd Influence of this sec tion of the state In shaping legislation. "Tho older counties of the stare have tot years had all the representation to which they are entitled ; whllo northwestern Iowa , with its rapidly increasing population , has been deprived of it's Just representation by the present section of the constitution , which was framed before this part of the state was settled. The proposition vo increase our representa tion will be of great benefit to voters of all parties If adopted ; and every man In northwestern Iowa should vote yea. There U reason to bellovo that the older counties will vote In the negatlvu In order to pre serve their present power nnd Influence. They fought the passage of the amendment In the legislature and will endeavor to de feat It at the polls. Hence voters In this part of the state should be alert. Lo nnil the Kodak. LEMARS , la. .
