It developed at the mass meeting , held yes
terday afternoon In St. John's English Lu
theran church to discuss the bond proposi
tion for a now High school , that the rider
tacked onto the proposition by Member J.
J. Stewart , providing that the old building
should bo retained as a ward school , was
not to the liking of a great number of
voters. When this uestion was brought up
J > y ono of the women present Jacob Sims
explained that the rider should not , In his
opinion , militate against the carrying of the
proposition to vote the bonds. The rider ,
lie said , did not , in the event of the proposi
tion carrying , in any way bind the school
> board to use the old High school building
ns a ward school.
The meeting was largely attended by the
representative women of the city and It was
Tory evident that they were In favor of the
new High school project. Mrs. E. C. Smith ,
president of the Council Bluffs Woman's
club , acted as chairman and short speeches
were made by Dr. Barstow , Superintendent
Ilaydeu and Members Sims and Moore of
the Board of Education.
It was decided that every effort shall be
niado on the day of the election to get the
women of the city out to cast their ballots.
Carriages will bo at every polling place to
lake them to and from tholr homcH. It
was also suggested that sbmo person bo at
the voting place to instruct the women how
to prepare thulr ballots and this will bo
done. The women showed that they are
very enthusiastic over the now High , school
project and It looks as If the bond proposi
tion will carry by on overwhelming ma
jority.

Mayor Jennings and the democratic clt ;
administration have placed themselves Ir
rather a peculiar position In reference t (
the law prohibiting gambling. A certalt
saloonkeeper In the city , believing that ai
the authorltlcB permitted gambling to b <
open and unmolested and oven protected b ;
the police , ho had the right to keep n ole
machine In his place of busltuss for tin
amusement of his customers. The slot ma
chine In question was one of lire contrlv
anccs known ns a "poker game , " a garni
which Is played In all of the gambling room ;
In the city.
Yesterday Chief of Police Hlxby notlfle <
the saloonkeeper that unless he wished ti
ho arrested he had bettor take the slo
machine out of his place. The saloonkeepo
protested and called Chief Hlxby's atten
tlou to the fact that ho permitted the pro
prlctors of the gambling rooms to run rlgh
along. The protest did not avail any , however
over , and Chief Blxby Informed the saloon
keeper that "It woa n horse of anotho :
color , " or words to that effect. Rathe
than have the police force "down on him'
the saloonkeeper decided to remove thi
machine.
The saloonkeepers throughout the clt ;
who are compelled to pay a heavy license t <
do business feel that they are getting thi
worst of It since Mayor Jennings becami
Imbued with a necessity for reforming thi
city morals. They point to the fact tha
the gambling houses run wide open all da ;
ami all night , the only consideration ot
their part being that they pay into tbo clt ;
treasurer every month J100 each. This sun
Is not to be collected as n license , but It I :
taken In every month as "forfeited ball , '
after Chief Blxby or one of his deputy mar
shalu has gone through the form of plac >
ing the gambling house proprietor under ar
rest for maintaining a disorderly house. Tin
saloon men nay that their business Is Iiv
jured by having to close their places a
midnight , but they would not object If thi
mayor would carry his reform movement t
llttlo further and close the gambling house !
at the same hour , If ho Is unwilling , desplt <
the protests of the respectable element , t (
close them up altogether , as the law pro >
vldes he shall.
The records at the police station shov
that Chief of I'ollce Blxby has collectei
"forfeited ball" from all of the four gamb
ling houses In the city which entitles them
according to the code adopted by Mayoi
Jennings slnco ho was elected as chief ex.
ecutlvo of tlio city , to openly defy the law
for the remainder of this month. As soot
as April comes around , they will have tc
"step up to the captain's desk" and put 111
another chunk of "forfeited ball. "
Some ot the saloonkeepers arc' In favoi
of refusing to obey the midnight closing order -
der and If Mayor Jennings Insists on en
forcing It , they will take the necessarj
stops to compel him to dnforce the luwi
In regard to the gambling houses.

stolen by J. H. Coburg from the residences
of Mrs. Wright nnd Ernest Stcngor. A
cold watch nnd a few nrllciuj of mlur
value were foiuid at Sam Frledmin's pawn
shop on Broadway , but a valuable gold
watch , diamond ring , and a diamond studded
watch charm which Coburg said he pawned
at Friedman's plnco were not forthcoming.
Friedman told Oitlcor Sheep that he knew
nothing about the goods and the Omaha
olllccr had to return without them.
The goods recovered at Friedman's wore
pawned there by CDburg- under the name
of Rogers last Thursday , but the pawn
broker failed to make a report to the police
mull after Coburg had bean nrrostcJ. 'iiid
wns In custody In Omnhu. From Dan Car-
rlgg , the proprietor of a gambling resort on
Broadway Officer Sheep recovered a valua
ble diamond stud that had boon stolen from
Mrs. Wright's residence by Coburg. The

man wcrklng for a local florist , who tad
purchased the timepiece In a saloon on this
side of the rlvor for J10 from Coburg.

recovering all the stolen goods as he had
reason to believe they had been pawned
by Coburg on this side of the river , and
said that some of the pawn shops of this
city are nothing more or less than "fences"
for the thieves who oparatod In Omaha.

IIMVU Killtorlul Opinion.
DCS Moines Register : The Vlnton Eagle
hns formally presented Judge George W.
Burnham as a candidate for the republican
nomination lor supreme judge. This brings
Into the field one of the ablest and strongest
district judges of the state. Ho was elected
judge of the Seventeenth judicial district in
1SOI and re-elected In 1S98 , and by his un-
iiHiial strength as a lawyer and judge has
gained reputation and prominence through
out the stato.
Kookuk Gate City : Three years ago an
Iowa farmer near Osceola purchased thirty
head of sheep on time. Since then he has
cleared $2,000 from the sale of sheep and
wool and has 100 sheep , worth $ "iOO or more ,
still on hand. Such results as these would
not have been possible If wool had remained
on the free list , as It would had the dem
ocratic party been continued In power. It
would be well for the sheep raisers of Iowa
and the country generally to keep In mind
the fact that that party Is pledged to take
the duty off wool If It comes in power again.
\tlantic Telegraph : There is no question
about Governor Shaw being his own successor
ser and there are not likely to bo any rival
candidates before the republican convention
for his place. Ho has made a good governor
and his ability is recognized throughout the
country. He has filled the ofllce to his own
credit and the honor of the slate and the
people want another term of the same kind
of administration. Ho has made an envia
ble reputation of being able to attend to his
own business and faithfully discharge his
duties ns governor without poking his finger
Into pvery little political contest ho may
hear of In different Jmrts of the stale.
Hed Oak Express : No doubt the Hoard of
Control has made some mistakes In the first
six months of Its existence. It would bo
more than human If It had not. Itri econ
omics In a few Instances may have been
misdirected. Hut aside from nil this , II has
inndo n great record nnd has fully Justified
the wisdom of Its creation. It has snvrd
the people of the state nearly $100,000 In six
months nnd It Is safe to say that the deio-
lletlons under Us management have been no
greater than under the old system. That
the board will profit by the expctlenco It
gains rniinol be doubted nnd there Is every
reason to hope that It will save still larger
sums for the people In HIP year to coino. It
Is also reasonable to bellove that It will cor
rect any little * abuse or fnlso economy that
may necessarily linvo existed In the experi
mental stages. Taken altogether , how ever ,
the record of the board bus been n gre \ tone
one nnd baa oven nuriiiFFfd the anticipa
tions of Its friends. The only discordant
notes In the almost universal praise nrntruYd
Its work comes from Interested parties In
towns where state Institution ; ) nrp located
Hut np these Institutions belong to the pro-
pic of Iowa , and not to any town or i-ountv ,
these protests will cut little figure.
DCS Molncs News : The election of a
United States senator to succeed Senator
Gear Is of Interest to the News only as It Is
of Interest to the pp'plp of Iowa who arc
not politicians. This newspaper docs not
presume to enter Into the controversy which
Is engaging thp attention of republican ed
itors and parly workers. It can view the
struggle dispassionately and from the po'ut
of view of an unprejudiced observer , and
that will doubtless lie Its attitude through
out. The Rootio News believes that Senator
Gear Is not a candidate for re-plectlon. We
think the News Is mistaken nnd that If Sen
ator Gear's health continues good he will
bo very much In evidence In the campaign
Other newspaper * profess to believe that
Senator Gear's ngo will be n barrier to his
re-clcctlou. The News believes that his ago
will operate In his favor. Although Mr.
Cummins is the only pronounced candldulo
for the senatorshlp contesting with the sen
ator for the place , it Is a well known fat
that there arc really a dozen candidates who
have their eyes on the senatorshlp. Ml
these candidates would prefer to see Gear
re-elected than that a younger mnn should
Hocuro the plum. They do not want a man
In the prime of life to enter upon a life
lease In the senate. They know this Is Sen
ator Gear's last chnnco and believe their
opportunities would bo Improved by his re
election. Mr. Cummins will have a strong
personal following and will make n gallant
fight for the high honor for which he IB well
fitted by his ability and party service. Gov
ernor Shaw , while not n candidate , Is looked
upon by many as the residuary legalee of
the Gear forces. Still others bellove that
Mr. Hepburn will succeed to Senator Gear's
following , though Mr. DolllVer would doubt
less prove the more popular candidate. All
In all , If Senator Gear should continue to
exhibit rugged health It may be taken for
granted that he will bo the strongest candi
date In the field.
MRS. CODY UPHOLDS CHARGES

iiKc of .lay Ciiulil Itrdteil
by tin * Defendant.
ALBANY , N. Y. , March 7. At the opening
of the court today In the trial of Mrs. Mar
garet K. Cody , charged with attempting to
blackmail the heirs of Jay Gould , the de
fendant was called to the stand. She was
asked to Identify a number of letters written
to her from Rock Springs , Wyo. , by Mrs.
J. F. Pierce , the alleged daughter of .liiy
Gould and Mrs. Angell and from Mrs.
Plcrce's husband. The letters assorted
positively that Jay Gould was Mrs. Plerce's
father and announced the Intention of the
writer to press the suit to secure a share
in the Oould estate. Mrs. Cody was offered
a large sum , not stated , to take up and
conduct the suit.
Mrs. Cody related the circumstances con
nected with her search for the mother of
Mrs. Pierce. Having found Mrs. Angell In
April. 1S93 , tha latter told her that Mrs.
Pierce was her daughter by an early mar
riage with Jason Gould , the date of which ,
she thought , -was April 2 , 1S53.
"The Issue of this marriage , " continued
Mrs. Cody , "Mrs. Angell told mo was a
daughter which was bound out to a Cana
dian weaver when 2 years old. Gould de
serted his wife after a short time. I aske.l
her If she had the marriage certificate
whereupon she related that after Gould had
left her and she had gone to live with her
parents , her father had taken the certificate
from her , torn it up and thrown it Into the
flro. "
The reading of letters addressed to Mrs.
Cody was then resumed. One of these was
from Rev. M. Lelghton , a Presbyterian
clergyman of Tunkhaunock , Pa. , who , the
defense alleged , performed the marrlago be
tween Jay Gould and Mrs. Angell. In this
letter the clergyman refers to the marriage
and marriage certificate. An affidavit was
read , signed by Mary Ann Shields , who
swore that she was a servant In Mr.
Lelghton's family in 1853 and that nhe was
a witness to the marriage of Sarah Brown
und Jay Gould on April 2 , 18H3 , who , she
asserted , had lived together for BOIUO tlmo
afterwards.
Mrs. Cody then told of her Interview with
Mrs. Mary Hoylo of Rouse's Point , who tos-
It gains your favor instantane
ously by reason of its high merits
