DISPOSITION OF EXPOSITION WIGWAM
Iloard Amrttf to A a * the Debt One
nd Take Poll Charge of the
Balldln * < U * Bold
r llamore * .
At th clewing Msiton of tbe Beard of
County Supervisors yesterday morning the
chairman , Colonel W. F. Baker , waa made
the recipient of * handsome testimonial
from his colleague * on the board and county
officers. ThtTtestlmonlal was In tbe form ot
a valuable gold watch and chain and was a
small token of the esteem felt for him by
his official associates and a recognition of
the faithful manner In which he had per
formed bla official duties. County Attorney
C. O. Saunders made the presentation soon
after the board convened aad the gift came
as a complete surprise to the colonel. In
making the presentation Colonel dannders
said to Colonel Baker that every time be
wanted to know the hour of the day be
would bo reminded that be bad net p r-
formed bis duty In vain and'that he rutlred
from the county board with beat wlshea and
esteem of those with whom he bad b * n
officially connected.
The whole affair waa such a complete sur
prise to Colonel Baker that for a time he
was overcome , but be pulled himself to
gether and heartily thanked his associates
for their kind remembrance.
Tbe most Important matter before the
board yesterday was the question of the dis
position of the Pottawattamle Wigwam on
the exposition grounds. President Graham
of the Council Bluffs Exposition association ,
who baa had entire charge of the building
during the entire time of the exposition , ap
peared before the board and asked that
some disposition be made of the matter. He
gave It as his opinion that If It was de
cided to hold another exposition next year
the building could be sold either to the
new exposition management or to some
private Individual and that It would be al
lowed to remain where It was. He Informed
the beard that be bad been notified by tbe
management of the exposition that tbe
building would have to be removed by Jan
uary 1 at the latest , but be believed that be
could get the time extended for another
month.
Mr. Graham presented a bill for the main
tenance ot the Wigwam during the month of
August , which had never been settled , and
requested that the board order * It paid.
George F. Wright appeared on behalf of tne
Council Bluffs Exposition association and
guaranteed tbe board that If it would pay
the bill , which amounted to about $140 ,
that the association would lay no claim to
an equity In the Wigwam and that th
board could make such disposition of the
building as It saw fit. Tan board , after
considerable discussion , decided to stand
good for the amount of the bill.
The matter of the final disposition of the
Wigwam was left to a committee consisting
of County Auditor Matthews , Supervisor
Baker and President A. C. Graham of tbe
exposition association with Instructions to
either sell the building as It stands , U tne
exposition Is to be continued another rear ,
or else to have It torn down and the lum
ber brought to this city to be used oa tbe
repairs to county bridges.
The balance of the session was occupied
In dlsp'slng of a number ot bills , after
which the board adjourned. Tbe next ses
sion of tbe board will be held on the first
Monday In January , when County Auditor
John Matthews will succeed Colonel Baker
as member from this district.

NOTES FROM THE SEVERAL COURTS.
Cltr Lone * the Poll Tax Salt ftroagbt
Before Jmlicr Ayle worth.
The city has failed In Its suits brought
against C. R. Hanan. cashier of tbe Cltt-
j tens' State bank , and Attorneys G. H. and
I L. G. Scott , to enforce the payment of poll
tax. The suits were brought In tbe superior
court and the defendants demurred to tbe
petition filed by tbe city. Tbe demurrers
were based on four grounds : First , tbat
the superior court had no Jurisdiction ; second
end , that the notice was Insufficient In that
it did not ccmply with the law and did not
give tbe necessary time of notice as provided
by the laws pf Iowa , neither did It show
competent or sufficient service and further
that same was not given prior to the 1st
of September of the year for which the city
I asked payment for poll tax a > required by
the city ordinances ; third , that as shown
1 by the city's petition and exhibit there had
been no legal , sufficient or proper notice
given to the defendants requiring them to
work out or pay the eald poll tax ; fourth ,
that tbe amount in controversy claimed by
the city was In excess of the amount due
under the laws ot Iowa. Judge Aylesworth
yesterday handed down his decision sus
taining the demurrer and overruling It In
part. He sustained It on the lecond and
i third grounds and overruled It on tbe. first
and fourth. The decision is therefore In
I favor of the defendants.
The Schlltz Brewing company filed a mo-
I tlon for a new trial In the suit brought
against It by John Llndt , and In which the
Jury awarded Llndt a verdict for $515.
I Tbe forenoon yesterday In the district
court was occupied with the trial of the
accreted land case of Roosa against Hough.
, The case promises to be a long drawn out
affair , as much of the evidence consists ot
tbe introduction of old records to show the
boundaries of the property In controverty
before Boyer lake became dried up. Judge
Green announced that bo woufcl make the
first assignment of law causes for the term
. on Monday morning.

OI1ITUARY.
Mrs. Edith Allen Westerdahl.
Edith Allen , wife of George W. Wester-
dahl , died Wednesday morning , November
16 , al 6 o'clock , after a lingering Illness , of
tuberculosis , aged 22 years. The .closing of
this young life was pathetically sad , as she
bad never known a mother's love , her
mother having died nt her birth , nnd but
two and one-half years ago she stepped to
the altar a happy bride. "Death loves a
shining mark , " nnd slndX > the birth of her
Infant son , eighteen months ago , it became
evident to her friends tbat she was not
long for this world and would soon be num-
bered with them that were , but now are
not. In the hope of staying tbe hand of the
dread Destroyer , upon the advice of physi
cians she was taken to Arizona for several
months , but tbo change proved unavailing ,
and two months ago ehe returned to die
In the home where she was born and mar
ried. Her sufferings In her lost Illness were
agonizing in the extreme , but were berne
without e murmur , never losing hope of ulti
mate recovery. Her death bereaves a hus
band , an Infant son and three staters , who
rendered her loving attention In her last
Illness. The latter are Mrs. Charles Mat-
thai , Mrs. C. C. Lincoln ot Wyoming , III. ,
and Miss Mamie Allen. Since the marriage
of Mrs. Matthal the entire care ot the
youngest sister , Edith , devolved upon Miss
Allen , who cared for and loved her with a
devotion almost akin to Idolatry , and who
will now render a like service for the lit
tle son , George Allen.
The remains , decked In her bridal robes ,
were encased In a silver grey casket , com
pletely bidden with floral offerings of lov
ing friends and rested in the same corner
of the room In which she first saw the light
of day , where they were viewed by friends
till ihe hour of the funeral , which occurred
on Friday afternoon at 2:30 : from St. Paul's
church , Rev. L. P. McDonald reading the
services at the church and at Falrvlew
cemetery , where Interment was made.
The following young friends acted as pall
bearers : E. C. Hodder , Will Green , C. L.

The closing service last evening of Dean
( Fair's mission at Grace church proved a
yerltable love feast to the large congrega
tion , which completely filled the church. The
A m took & 3 the subject of his address ,
"Church Building , " at the close of which
he called upon the senior warden to make
tbe pleasing announcement that the women
of Unity guild had Just completed tbe pay
ment of $25 a month Into the Building and
Loan association' , and were prepared to draw
out 42,600 , which was to be paid on the
churcb debt. The dean wished to know what
tbe men of the congregation had done while
the women had been so busy and called upon
them to subscribe twelve months' rent for
tbo rector until the time was reached when
a rectory could be built adjoining tbe church
as a memento of the mission just closed. The
dean started the fund by subscribing the
first month and the balance waa soon
promised. The congregation then all Joined
In singing , "Praise God , From Whom All
Blessings Flow , " and one of the most suc
cessful missions ever held In this city came

The DCS Molnea Leader considers the mat
ter eerlously , because It sees in It n chance
to strike at Governor Shaw. The fact that
the Curtis suggestion \vas cheered to the
echo convinces the Des Molnea democratic
paper that the present governor is very un
popular In bis own party. What nonionsc
tn draw ouch conclusions. V.'o venture the
assertion that Colonel French and Congress
man Curtlu never thought of running the
latter for Ko\ernor next year. They are
not thinking of contesting tbe nomination of
Shaw In 1899 , but they are thinking of the
nomination two years from next year. We
