SHEA STOPS THE BOND DEAL
BestT&ins Oity from Refunding Ita Ontatand-
ing General Warrants.
NEW TURN 10 THE FINANCIAL TROUBLE
Anirnilmrnt ( o the PlendlnK * in ( he
Orlulnul Suit llrlnK" Aliout the
Snuprnnlon of All
tloni on the Matter.
Attorney J. J , Shea has now gone Into
court In an attempt to prevent the city
from Issuing bonds to replace the warrants
on the general fund Usued prior to the pres
ent fiscal year. In the district court yes
terday he filed an amendment to hie peti
tion In his suit against the city which was
heard before Judge Towner last July. He
oeks that a temporary Injunction be Issued
by the court restraining the city from Issu
ing the $150,000 bonds authorized and or
dered Issued by the city council at Its regu-
rar meeting last Monday night. A copy of
the amendment filed by Shea was forwarded
to Judge Towner lawt evening. The amend
ment sets forth :
That on the 7th day of November , 1808 ,
the city council of the city of Council Bluffs
passed a re < < olutlon to Issue bonds In the
sum of $160,000 for the purpose of refund
Ing the no outtftAndlng Indebtedness cvl
denccd by unpaid general fund warrants.
That It Is the puipose and Intention of
raid city and of said city council to Issue
bonds running for a long term of years
and bearing Interest for the purpose of payIng -
Ing the present outstanding general fund
warrants.
That all the outstanding general fund war
rants which are to bo thus refunded are Il
legal and void and are not valid claims
against the said city , because the same
wcro Issued In excess of the 5 per cent
constitutional limit of Indebtedness Imposed
by the constitution nnd because when the
said warrants were Issued the city was al
ready Indebted beyond the constitutional
limit and there was no money In the trens
ury or In process of collection to pay the
now outstanding general fund warrants.
That the so-called refunding bonds when
Issued will be wholly Illegal and void for
the reason that the city Is now Indebted be
yond the constitutional limitation.
That the question of the legality of these
same warrants has been fully suinhltted to
the district court.
Wherefore , Plaintiff prays that a tem
porary Injunction issue restraining said city
and the city council thereof from Issuing
or wiling said bonds , W. B. Reed , treasurer
of said city , and F. L. Evans , auditor of
said city , be restrained from executing , Is
suing , negotiating or exchanging In any
manner said bonds until the question of the
legality of said warrants shall have been
determined by this court ; that the court shall
MX the time for n hearing of this applica
tion and the length of time and hind of
noticeto be given by plaintiff to the said
city and Its ofllrcrs and council.
City officials say It will be useless to pro
ceed In the attempt to float the bonds until
the courts have settled the points at Issue
contained In Shea's suit against the city.

Rev. O. P. Fry , pastor of the Fifth avenue
Methodist church , complained to the police
yesterday afternoon that a Mrs. Ray Blauk-
onshlp was soliciting advertising from the
local business men , using the name ot the
church , which he claimed she had no au
thority to do. From Mr. Fry's story to
Chief Blxby It appeared that about ten
days ago Mrs. Blankenshlp called at his
house during his absence with a proposition
that would financially benefit the church.
She was directed by Mrs. Pry to Mrs. Ful-
mer , president of the Ladles' Aid society.
Mrs. Blankenshlp submitted her proposition
to Mrs. Fulmcr , which was as follows : She
had a small cook book which was to be in
terleaved with advertisements from locnt
merchants. The proceeds of the advertising
were to pay for the printing ot the book ,
300 copies of which Mrs. Blankenshlp agreed
to publish and she In return for her trouble
In securing the advertising was to receive
what was left over. The Ladles' Aid society
was to receive the books and sell them. Mr.
Fry stated that Mrs. Fulmer entered Into
an agreement with Mrs. Blankcnshlp on the
understanding that the advertisements were
not to be solicited foi the church but for
the Ladles' Aid society , which had under
taken to wipe off the debt on the new par
sonage. Mr. Fry'e compalnt was that Mrs.
Blankenshlp had violated the agreement and
had solicited the advertisements on the plea
that the proceeds of the cook book were to
be devoted to the papering of the church
and the purchase of pews.
Mrs. Blankenshlp when brought to Chlel
Blxby's otllce Indignantly denied the allega
tions ot Mr. Fry nnd Insisted that shn had
acted In good faith In the matter. After n
conference the matter was compromised by
Mrs. Blankeushlp agreeing to discontinue
the solicitation of advertising nnd Pastor
Fry agreed to her keeping what small
amount of money she had collected , he lu
turn promising to refund the same to the
business men who had paid It. Mrs. Blank
enshlp showed credentials from other cities
where she had successfully carried out the
same scheme to the mutual benefit ot her
self and the church which contracted with
her.

Major Jennings expressed himself ns mucl
pleased over the prospect of another com
pany locating and Investing Its capital here
U was a good thing , he wild , and the com
pany , It it submitted a bone fide proposltloi

couragemcnt. It was what the city needei
and no obstacle should bo placed In the wa ;
of any concern that was anxious to local' '

J. C. Hublnger , the president of the com

DAVENPORT , la. , Nov. 11. Special. )
The fortunate Davenport woman , Caroline
Christiansen , who Is to fall heir to a Cali
fornia estate valued at $75,000 , has been lo
cated In the person of Mrs. Garten Peter
Christiansen. With her husband and chil
dren she lives at the Farmers' hotel on
Fourth street. Mr. Christiansen Is well
known In Davenport , having been long em
ployed by J. S. Altman , when the latter was
In the Ice business several \enrs nye , and
later working us a driver for the Crvstal Ice
and Cold Storage company. Now Mr. and
Mrs. Christiansen run the farmers' hotel.
Both husband and wlfo are hard workers nnd
have been all their lives. Mrs. Chrlstlanson
takes her good fortune In a very prosaic
mood and says she will work Just as hauls
j
as ever. Rut she Is very glad to find her-
s
, nulf PO situated as to give her children a
I bolter education. She is 54 > ears of age.
" , She tells an Interesting story nbout the
f wanner In which she became acquainted
with the good news. Years ngo the Chris-
' tinnson family lived at Vorburg , Island of
Alien , Schleswlg-Holstelu , Germany. Thre
1 vva a J cling man named Peter Christian-
" I son , of a roving and unsettled spirit. Naturally -
' urally he became a sailor , leaving his native
1 homo in 1840.
" | Then It was as though ho had passed completely -
pletely into oblivion. For over half a century -
" tury nothing was heard of the wanderer.
1 But as recently as a year ago an announce
ment appeared In California newspapers of
the death of an aged hermit at Stockton.
So far ns known he was without relatives ,
but us he 'had left an estate valued at
$100,000 , his dfath was given widespread
publicity.
8 True to the course of human events , an
i Omaha Danish paper announcing the
hermit's death fell Into the hands of Mrs
Christiansen of this city. The name was
that of her uncle , the roving 1'eter. Though
she had almost forgotten that such a relatlv.
o lived she spoke to Attorney Blelk Peters
- about the matter and suggested , though with
s little faith , that she might come In for a
r share of the fortune. Of course she had
B never known the uncle , but her mother had
n frequently spoken of him and his dlsap-
. pearance. Attorney Petcis became Interested
e In the strange history and took steps at
. . ouce. He opened correspondence with the
0 St'-ckton people and has kept the ball rollln-
U since last May. As a result Mrs. Chrls-
r Hanson's claim to a shaic of the fortune
e Is established beyond doubt. A petition has
been flled In the probate court at Stockton ,
setting forth the claims of the Davenport
woman , and Attorney Ueardslee of Stokton
will loik after her inteteats at that end ot
the line.
Though Mrs. Chrlstlanson is probably the
only heiress to the estate living In this
country , there are numerous nlecea and
nephews of the deceased on the old conti
nent , and up to date five of them have filed
. claims , another Stockton attorney having
j been retained to loik after their Interests.
. Mrs. Christiansen's mother having married
'
, a second time there are a large number ot
. heirs back In the old country.
I Two strange features of the case are that
the hermit didn't seem to think of the rela-
p
lives he had left behind , and that his roving
n
spirit was In such a measure curbed as to
allow his lonrsome life. A peculiarity In
Mrs. Christiansen's case Is that she mar-
" rled a man whose name Is ao similar to
her maiden cognomen ani to that at the
Callfornlan hermit. It Is atlmost needless
U to hope that the good fortune will speedily
find Its wny hither , for Mrs. Christiansen's
claims ore too 'veil established to admit of
a slip. CongiTitulatlous are already In order.

TURN OF LIFE.
A-v Germ's STATION , Ala. , Jan. 1.
About a year ago 1 became very
feeble. My menses would last for
three weeks at a time , and my
mind became affected. I lud sinkIng -
Ing spells , and many times I thought
I was gone. Finally I took three
bottles of Wine of Cardui , ind
two packages of Black Draught ,
and my health ( s better than it has
been in 11 years. I am 40 years
old , and Wine of Cardui has
brought me through the Change
of Life all right.
MKS. M. E. BROTHERTON.
Change of Life Is ( he most ttriotu period in every woman'i
life. Many do not survive ( he ordeal. Those whose delicate
womanly organs are weak and deranged have the most to fear.
Change of Life cannot be avoided. It Is part of Nature's pro *
gramme. But the pains and dangers can be largely overcome
if Wine of Cardui be taken faithfully. It will fortify a woman's
entire system for the trials through which she must pass. It will
strengthen her nerves , and modify in large part every distressing
symptom. No time should be wasted. Wine of Cardal should
be taken during the whole period of the Turn of Life , sometime *
two or three years. The patient , if she does so , will live
to a happy , peaceful old age
as a reward. Wine of Cardui LADIES'ADVISORY DEPARTMENT.
