Business men of Council Bluffs In general -
oral have confirmed opinions us to the pro
priety of strictly observing Sunda ) . Th.it
this is the case was demonstrated jesterduy
afternoon In Justice Vlcn's court when an
attempt was made to secure a Jury before
which Prltz Bornhardl might have his trial
on the charge of keeping his shop open last
Sunday , brought by the Barbers' Protective
association of this city. Five special vc-
nlrcs had to be Issued by the court Mid
ninety jurymen summoned , most of whom
underwent an examination and were chal
lenged for cause before a jury was Impan
eled. More than three hours were con
sumed before six men coura be found who
had not pronounced views on the Sunday
closing question or who had not formed an
opinion concerning the case at bir , which
would prevent them from giving an Im
partial and unbiased vcrdlot. Both Justice
Vlen and the attorneys In the case were
nearly worn out by the time the jury was
secured and an adjournment was taken
until this morning , when the hearing will
be proceeded with. The case has attracted
more than usual Interest and In Justice
Vlen's court standing room was at a pre
mium , among the crowd of spectators be
ing a large number of the tonsorlal pro
fession , who arc pushing the prosecution.
Thp sympathy of the general public Is un
doubtedly with Mr. Bernhardl , who Is an
old and respected citizen of Council Bluffs.
The general opinion , as expressed , Is that
the prosecution Is more the result of pro
fessional jealousy than an attempt In good
faith to enforce the law respecting the ob
servance of Sunday. It Is contended by Mr.
Bernhordl's friends that If the Barbers' as
sociation rcall ) desires to have Sunday ob
served as the strict letter of the law pro
vides the members of It should take steps
to have all places of business closed on
that daj and rot single out one man for
prosecution , or , as Bernhardl's friends term
It , persecution. Some years ago the barbers
of Council Bluffs attempted a similar move
and Bcrnhardi was arrested Sunday after
Sunday and on some Sundays twice , for
persisting In keeping- open and attending
to the meeds of his customers. In each In
stance he demanded and secured a Jury
trial and every time the Jurj promptly ac
quitted him. The barbers finally became
tired of trying to enforce a law which was
evidently not popular and only a relic of the
Puritan dajs.
The members of the jury Impaneled yes
terday afternoon to try the case are- James
T. Anderson. J. H. McCrary. M. II. Tlnley ,
M. Bonham , S. G. Underwood and Elmer
Shugart. P. C. DoVol and A. T. Elwell.
who were not challenged for cause , were
excused , as their business demanded their
attention. A number of business men sum
moned as jurors when examined refused to
answer the question whether they kept their
stores open on Sunday on the ground that
they were not bound to Incriminate them
selves.

The city authorities are seriously consid
ering the advisability whtn It comes time to
fix the tax levy this fall of lev > Ing the 2-
mlll tax provided for In the statutes , to ho
used as a sinking fund for the purchase or
erection of a water works plant. The con
tract between the city and the CouncilBluffs
Water Works company expires In seven
years from now , and several of the alder
men believe that the city should be In a
position at that time to either purchase the
plant or erect one to be owned by the mu
nicipality Municipal ownership Is dally
growing In favor with the city fathers , nnd
the lev.vIng of this tax would give them nn
opportunity to cairy the plan Into execution.
Section 742 of the code , which gives the
city the power to make such a levy , Is as
follows-
"Tax-Sinking Fund Cities of the first
class shall have power to lev ) , In addition
to the regular water tax authorized by law ,
a tax of 2 mills upon the dollar upon all
the jiroperty within the corporate limits of
saliVcttles , excepting lots greater than ten
acres in average , used for horticultural or
agricultural purposes , for the purpose of
creating a sinking fund , to bo used ns pro
vided In this chapter for the purchase or
erection of water worku In such cities. The
proceeds of such 2-mlll levy shall bo de
posited In one or more solvent banks or
trust companies of the city making such
levy , at a rate of Interest not less than 4
per cent per annum compounded ( .eml-an-
nually , and payable , principal and Interest ,
on demand after sixty ( inn' notlco In writ-
Ing. The city treasurer depositing the pro
ceeds of such tax shall o\act from the banker
or trust compan ) wherein such money Is de
posited a satisfactory bond pa ) able to the
city , to be approved by the treasurer and
mayor of such elites , and to bo filed In the
office of the city treasurer. "
Roughly based on an assessed valuation
of the city of 13,000,000 the 2-mlll low would
bring In $6,000 a year for seven years. This
with Interest at 4 per cent , as provided by
the law , would make a fund of about $45,000 ,
although It Is anticipated that the legisla
ture will rhango the method of assesning ,
and that the valuation of the city will before
long be restored to Us former figure , which
Is something over $4,000,000. if this should
bo , the cose , the fund would be proportion
ately greater , The question ns > ct has only
been Informally discussed among the alder
men and other city officials , hut It IE said
that It will likely come up before a meeting
of the city council In the near future , when
the matter will be determined on ,

'I oltnoco on the Dietary of Iii-
innten nt the Different
State 1'enlteiitlarlen.
PUS MOINHS. la. , June 29. ( Special Tele
gram ) The State Board of Control Issued
an order today culling down the allowance
of tobacco for the convicts In the ntate pent-
tcntlartm and adding butter to the dietary
of those Instltullwis. At first it was thought
advisable to take all tobacco from the In
mates of these Institutions and In Its place
to substltuto butter , which has never been
a part of the dietary of the penitentiaries
heretofore. After consultation with the
wardens It was deemed best to simply cut
the allowance down nnd to add butter to the
dietary ns nt first contemplated. The Board
of Control has spent enough money In buyIng -
Ing tobacco for the penitentiaries during the
last year to have supplied twelve tons of
butter to those Institutions , Over $1,000 has
been Invested In tobacco alone for the peni
tentiaries during the Jant quarter and 1,500
plugs were consumed at Fort Madison nlono.
The order ot the board Is ns follows :
"Convicts admitted to the penitentiaries
on nnd after July 1 , 1899 , and convicts who
arc punished by solitary confinement after
that date shall not bo permitted to use to
bacco of any kind.
"After that date no convict shall bo al
lowed to receive over two ounces of tobacco
per -week. Butter shall bo added to the
dietary. "
The formal order which the State Board
of Control lum been promising to Issue
against nepotism In the state Institutions' ap
pointments In Iowa , was made today. It
provides that on nnd after July 1 , 1899 ,
neither the wife , child or other relative by
blood or affinity of the chief executive officer
of any Iowa Institution shall bo employed
therein at expense to the state.
Two largo Iowa savings banks -were added
today to the long list of banks which have
been commissioned to do business In the
state since the 1st of January. Ono Is the
German American Savings bank of Musca-
tlne , la. It has a capital stork of $60,000.
Hon. J. ti. Glcaler of Muscatlne Is Us presi
dent. The other Is the German Savings bank
of Manning , la. , with a capital of $50,000.
P. M. Leet Is president. Over twenty eav-
Inga banks have been commissioned to do
business In Iowa since the first of the year ,
about twice as many as has ever been re
corded for the same time In the last six
or seven years.
I. E. Pearson , the attorney for the State
Anti-Saloon league , was today found guilty
In district court of contempt of court and
the judge announced that he will sentence
him Saturday. Pearson said he would just
as soon try a case before Mark Chlcsa , a
saloon keeper , as before the district court
and the court simply would not stand for
it.
The coal operators of Iowa met here today
and decided to maintain the present price
ot coal throughout the summer. They usually
make a cut In price about this time of the
year , but claim that the change from ten
to eight hours work Increases the expense
of mining and that they cannot cut prices.
Heath Due to Accident.
NEW HARTFORD , la , June 29. ( Spe
cial. ) Although the coroner's verdict In the
case of John Marks , who was found dead
In the field near his farm house south of
town , Is to the effect that he met his death
accidentally , there are those who refuse
to accept it as final nnd who declare that
future developments will show that the
man was murdered. Few of the people
share this belief , however , and It Is moio
than likely the coroner's jurv Is right In
Its decision. The father of the dead man
agrees with this theory and so did the
Jur ) . They believe that Marks had found
his stock In the oat field and started to
drive them away. On his way to the field
he picked up n pitchfork , the handle of
which "had been broken off In an Irregular
manner , leaving the end pointed and rough
with splinters. They think that In running
through the field after the cattle the man
stumbled , thrusting the tines of the fork
into the ground nnd throwing himself onto
the sharp end of the handle. This pene
trated the side of his neck 1o n depth of
two Inches or more , making a horrible
wound.
