Protective association against these barbers |
who refuse to close their shops on Sundays '
If becoming a costly one for the taxpayers
of this county. Already the costs Incurred
In the several prosecutions brought by the
association have reached a large sum , the
expenses connected with the trial of Frl'z
Bernbardt alone amounting to over $60 and
the end is not yet. Prosecutions for violat
ing the Sabbath were commenced yesterday
by the barbers , the costs In which It Is
estimated will reach between $200 and $300 ,
all of which the taxpayers of Pottawattamle
county will be called upnn to bear. No
less than twenty new cases were started
yesterday , warrants being Issued In every
Instance. Sixteen of the Informations were
filed In Justice Vlen's court In this city
and four before Justice D. S. Frank of Keg
Creek township. The sixteen cases com
menced before Justice Vlon wore started by
the barbers themselves , who refuse to ac
cede to the demands of the association that
they close their shops on Sundays and were
done so with a view of heading off prose
cution on the part of the association.
Six Informations were filed against Fritz
Bernhardl , proprietor of the Grand hotel bar
ber shop , for keeping open on July 0 , 16 , 23
and 30 and August 6 and 13. The hearing
on these six cases Is set for this morning.
Five Informations were filed against F. E.
Silvers , the Pearl street barber , for keepIng -
Ing open on July 9 , 23 and 30 and August
6 and 13. The hearing on these cases Is
set for this afternoon. Four informations
were filed against John Schlcketanz , the
Broadway barber , for keeping open on July
16 and 30 and August 6 and 13. These cases
are set for hearing tomorrow morning. John
Bohn , the proprietor of the barber shop at
the Ogden hotel , filed the information In
each of the above cases. One information
was filed against John Bohn for keeping
open last Sunday and this case Is set for
tomorrow afternoon. F. E. Silvers filed this
Information.
Four SlinpN SlnKlcil Out.
The other four Informations which were
filed before Justice Frank of Keg Creek
township were at the Instance of the Bar
bers' Protective association and are against
Fritz Bernhardl of the Grand hotel shop ,
P. E. Silvers of Pearl street , John Bohn of
the Ogden house and John Schlcketanz of
Broadway. The warrants will be served this
morning. Several other shops were open
last Sunday , but the association appears to
have singled out the above named four
upon which it is determined to wage the
war.
Judge Vlen , In talking of the cases yes
terday , said he estimated that the costs In
each of the sixteen actions commenced be
fore him -would amount to about $10 and
possibly more. The costs in the cases
brought before the Justice In Keg Creek
township will amount to considerably more ,
owing to the longer distance that the wit
nesses will have to travel.

CUMMINS FOIICJES TO THE FRONT.

Geiir III Seiiatorliil Ilnce.
Hon. A. B. Cummins of Des Molnes , can
didate for United States senator , was In
the city yesterday and spent the day con
ferring with bis friends at the Grand hotel.
Mr. Cummins declined to be Interviewed or
discuss the senatorial contest beyond ad
mitting that he was here for the purpose
of conferring with his friends and followers
In this city. Many of the leading repub
licans called during the day and assured
him of their support. Mr. Cummins re
turned to Dee Molnes Innt evening.
A leading republican of this city , who
Is a warm supporter of Mr. Cummins , said
that Mr. Cummins' strength was growing
rapidly since the state convention and that
throughout the state many who had at first
been under the Impression that the parties
back of Senator Gear were Invincible and
wishing to be on the winning side had
declared themselves for Gear were now
flocking to his standard. He said :
"Tho prospects for the election of Mr.
Cummins to succeed Senator Gear in the
United States senate were never brighter
and throughout the state people are com
mencing to realize that ho 10 the .coming
man. Since the state convention his
strength has grown wonderfully and I for
one look on Mr. Cummins' election as cer
tain now. Of the twelve republican sen
ators who hold over Senator Gear can only
rely on securing the votes of two. Seven
are for Mr. Cummins and three have not
yet expressed their preferences ,
"So far throughout the state nineteen re
publican senators have been nominated and
of this number Gear can only safely claim
six , while Cummins will have the support
of nine. Four have ns yet not declared
themselves. Then again , of the forty-six
members of the house nominated 03 far ,
Cummins can count on twenty-two , while
Gear has , with any reasonable certainty ,
only ten. Fourteen are still on the fence ,
not having declared themselves.
"Of the counties In which nominating con
ventions have been held Gear can only
count on both members of house and senate
In seven. In those counties whlcHare * doubt
ful ns to electing a republican member
Gear can , If the party Is sucessful next
November , count on eight more , On the
other hand , Cummins can safely claim
fifteen counties and If the doubtful counties
succeed In electing republicans he will have
nine more to his credit. These figures do
not Include the counties where the Issue
an between Gear and Cummins is still
doubtful.
"A general summing up of the situation
at present gives Cummins fifty-three votes
as against Gear's thirty-two. Of these fifty-
thren votes , thirty-eight have already been
nominated and the balance are reasonably
sura enough to be figured on , Yes , Indeed ,
I honeatly believe that A. B. Cummins of
I > a Molnes will belbo next United States
senator from Iowa. As to the result In
Pottawattamle county , I am unable at pres
ent to express any opinion. "

One-yoar old heifers , 12 jier cent ; 2-year-
old heifers , 15 per cent ; cows , 13 per cent ;
1-ycar-old etcm , 17 par cent ; 2-year-old
steers' , 5 Dor cent. These deoreoBM In the
valuation of llvo stock will only reduce the
assessment of this kind of property In the
entire county $49,350. After deducting this
and adding the Increase , caused by the 4
per cent raise placed by the state board on
all real eatato In the county , the nasmsod
valuation of Pottawattamle will be $11-
815,435.
The decreases on the valuation of thn
above classes of llvo stock will not affect
the assessed valuation of Council Bluffs but
very slightly. The state board made no
changes so far as this county Is concerned
In the nesessmcnt of 3-year-old steers , ford.
Ing cattle , 1 and 2-year-old colts , mules ,

CIUKSADK IIKGINS FOR GOOD IIOADS.
I'renlilcnt of Interntnte

W. H. iMooro of St. Louis , president of
the State and Interstate Good Roads and
Public Improvement association , was in the
city yeaterday for the purpose of making
arrangements to bold n convention In Coun
cil Bluffs In the near future of all persons
Interested In good roads. Ho talked the
matter over with Mayor Jennings and sev
eral of the city officials , but received llttlo
encouragement from them. The city fathers
gave It as their opinion that It would bo a.
difficult matter to arouse sufficient enthu
siasm In this city to make such a conven
tion a success and It - wasvery doubtful if
the money necessary to provide for such a
meeting could be raised hero. The only
encouragement that Mr. Moore received was
from County Supervisor Matthews , who
thinks well of the scheme.
Mr. Mooro's scheme , as outlined by him ,
Is to organize a state society In Iowa , whose
object shall be to devise ways and moans
to procure good roads. Auxiliary to It will
bo organized district societies or associa
tions to make the work effective. The ob
jects of the proposed organization tire :
First , to create system nnd order In road
matters ; second , to publish full informa
tion , showing In what manner and precisely
for what. work and materials the yearly
road taxes are expended ; third , the road
mileage and most sultalblo material for each
county ; fourth , the most suitable and eco
nomical roads for all classes and districts.
In connection with the convention Mr.
Moore suggested giving a practical object
lesson In the making of good roads , em
ploying a steam roller and other Improved
machinery , which would necessitate an ex
penditure of 'between $200 and $300.

Charles R. Hannan , receiver of the Lake
Manawa Railway company , filed nn appli
cation In the district court yesterday for
permission to sell the property of the com
pany. In hla application ho sets up that the
profits of the company since placed In his
hands have not been sufficient to pay oft
the claims and that the only way to secure
the necessary funds to do so would be to
aell the property. Ho states that all the
property , real and personal , should be sold
together as same cannot be separated , ho
claims , without depreciating the value of
the whole.
This application on the part of Receiver
Hannan is said to be a sequel to the appli
cation of Colonel F. C. Reed , the former
owner of the railway and resort , to have
Lessee Colo's contract annulled. Colonel
Reed's friends claim It Is a scheme to freeze
him out of his equity in the concern and
some Interesting developments are looked
for.

Shnrc of
DES MOINES , la. , Aug. 15. ( Special Tel
egram.W. ) . J. Bryan addressed 6,000 people
hero this evening In two separate meetings.
The main address was given before the delo-
Eates assmbled for the state democratic
convention hero tomorrow. In his address
Air. Bryan took occasion to fully outline his
position on the political Issues upon which
he says the democratic party should make
Us campatcn In 1900. Mr. Bryan divided
his time between the war Question and the
money question , paying some llttlo atten
tion to trusts. Ho declared that the Chicago
cage platform was made for all time. Ho
said that the party need not repudiate a
syllable or Idea of it , although It other im
portant questions arise the rampatcn may
be made on them without apologizing for
any former flcht. On the'trust question he
deoared that the money trust Is the mother
of all trusts. Ho said the republican party
Is unable to oppose trusts because it is
their creature. The federal government is
the only jio-wer that can cope with them.
( Mr. Bryan's speech > was somewhat of a
Itsappolntmcnt to the conservative mem
bers of the party. However , 16 to 1 was but
once referred to and the free silver Issue
was subordinated to the war question.
The clatform to bo offered to the conven
tion tomorrow afternoon , unless the com
mittee on resolutions makes changes , which
are not anticipated , was gene over today
by the state central committee with Mr.
Bryan nnd James B. Weaver. Mr. Weaver
expressed his unqualified approval. Mr.
Bryan said :
"Gentlemen : I did not come to Iowa to
make platforms. A simple declaration In
favor of the Chicago platform win suit me ,
If other Issues seem more Important , they
should be given prominence In. the coming
campaign. This platform , as now drafted ,
makes the war question most Important. "
The silver question. Is disposed of by
simply ratifying the Chicago platform. The
war in the Philippines , expansion and any
foreign alliance nro denounced in the most
unmeasured terms. Trusts nro equally
scored.
Soil * Shown Strength.
The anti-planks compose the platform
practically entire. The trend of affairs on
the floor of the lobbies today Indicates thai
Cato Sells of VInton will bo the nominee of
the party for governor. There is a pro
nounced movement among air the leaders o :
the party to put Sells at the head of the
ticket and thus place the conservative ele
ment in control.
Mr. Sells still persists In saying that he
Is not a candidate. He admits , however , tha
If party duty demands it ho will make the
sacrifice and run. The state central com-
mltteo and Mr. Bryan have decreed tha
Sells Is to be nominated , and it is not be
lieved that the united sllverltes will be
strong enough to overthrow their Influence.
The support of' S. H. Basher of Waterloo

HAWARDEN , la. , Aug. 15. ( Special. )
The saloons of this town closed Saturday
night and expect to remain dry until after
the Board of Supervisors meet in Septem
ber. Some time ago it was discovered that
through repetition and miscount the old
petition failed to contain the required 63
per cent and a new canvass of the county
was made , but the board refused to meet
and canvass the new petition , hence Sioux
county will be on the dry list for a few
weeks. It Is said that the new petition
contains 75 per cent of the voters , so there
is no doubt of the saloons opening again
after next month. Both saloons hero have
'their ' licenses paid up In advance , but de
cided to close as a precaution against trou

GENERAL CUTTING OF RATES
Karen Are Cut AtniOMt III Two for
Urn ml Army of tlic llPitnlillt *
Kiieniiitiiiirnt.
CHICAGO , Aug. 15. Tomorrow the- Erie
railroad will announce a rate of $18.45 for
the round trip between Chicago and Now
York. There Is nt present no round trip rate
between the two cities , the standard one-way
rate being $20. The rate to bo mndo by the
Erie Is , therefore , less than a single faro.
At the eamo time corresponding rates will
bo made from nil Intermediate points to New
York. A rate of $15.35 for the round trip
between Cincinnati mid Now York win bo
made , the ono-nay rate being $18. Between
Cleveland nnd Now York a round trip rate
of $11 will bo made , against a one-way rate
of $13.
The Erie wilt place these rates In effect
during the first four da > s of September , the
return coupons being good at any time dur
ing that month. The rates are put In to
meet the rates made between Chicago and
Philadelphia for the annual encampment of
the Grand Army of the Republic. This rnto
Is | 16.45j It does not npply to Now York , the
faro between Philadelphia nnd Now York
being $2 , a totnl of $18.45. In order to meet
this condition the Brie has determined to
make the round trip rate between Chicago
and Now York $18.45. It will also meet the
Grand Army of the Republic rnto of $16.45
to Philadelphia. The now ratca will not only
bo made openly , but have been tendered to
all connecting lines for baaing purposes. It
Is the general opinion that the notion of the
Erlo will start up the liveliest kind of a
fight on rates between Chicago and Now
York.

ference of western line executive officers on
the Gulf illne-MlEsourl river rate situation :
"H. H. Courtwrlght , Chairman Western
Trunk Lines Committee , Chicago : I am In
structed bv Business Men's league , Mer
chants' Exchange , Associated Wholesale
Grocers , Paint , Oil and Drug club and other
commercial organizations , to request such
action today by lines west of the Mississippi
river as will enable us to meet competition
of eastern seaboard and Missouri cities. In
territory west of the Missouri river. St.
Louis , Chicago and other cities similarly
situated , are losing business that will never
be regained. We have waited patiently moro
than ninety days for the adjustment of the
rate war. The entire territory , Sioux City
to Kansas City , west of Buffalo and Pitta-
burg , Is affected by present conditions. Are
the western railroads doing Injustice to
themselves or us In permitting this diversion
of trade from them and us ?

YAQUI INDIANS SCATTERING
_
Defeated In ' fieiiernl KnpmKt
They Ilrealc Up Into Small
Unmix ,
CHICAGO , Auc. 15. A special to the
Times-Herald from Guavmas , Mex. , says :
Military operations In the Yaqul valley cul
minated on Friday in a series of engage
ments and the final route and dispersal of
the Indians.
The Yaquls In rebellion had concentrated
their forces at Vlcam , on the south bank.
General Torres began offensive operations
on Thursday. After a sharp engagement
the Indians fled , leaving thirty dead on the
field. The Mexican loss was ten killed and
twenty-two wounded.
General Torres returned to Orrln for the
night and at1:30 : o'clock the next morning
ho began the march to Vlcam. The troops
dislodged thq Vaquls and killed four. Five
of the Fourth battalion and ono man of the
National Guard were wounded ,
Following the enemy closely , General Tor
res found another force of Indians entrenched
behind the hank of the Irrigation canal ,
where the road crosses. After half an hour
of fighting the Vaquls were driven from
this position with a loss of six killed. One
Mexican sergeant and three soldiers were
wounded ,
The Yaquls are now scattered In small
parties and It Is not likely that they will
concentrate again , The rest of the campaign
will probably consist of hunting out the
renegades from their biding places.
NOG-ALES. Ariz. , Aug. 15. The miners
are beginning to gain confidence in the abil
ity of the Mexican government to hold the
Yaquls on the reservation. Marshal P.

Yaqul valley , after consultation with the
authorities , has started on n tour of In
spection of his camp nnd mines. Ho docs
not regard the undertaking as hazardous ,
although ho must travel overland 135 miles ,

Mrs. Hayes From an Operation.
[ LETTEK TO uas. PINED AH no. 64,283 ]
"DEAKMns.PiNKHAM Words cannot
express my thanks to you for your kind
advice to me in regard to my health , I
had been running1 down in health for
about seven years. I had doctored
with good doctors and taken a great
many patent medicines. My trouble
began when my first child was born.
I had a very hard time and after its
birth would have severe flooding spells.
" After my second child I had very
good health until last winter when I
again became pregnant and suffered
very much and miscarried. I came
very near dying , and the doctor said I
must have an operation , which fright
ened me very much , and concluded to
write to you for your advice , and take
your medicine. Was troubled with the
whites , great pain in back and hips ,
sometimes when lying down or sitting
was unable to get up. Would have
such pain in groins could hardly walk.
" I can say I have never seen any
thing so wonderful as Lydia E. Pink-
ham's Vegetable Compound and Sana
tive Wash. Your remedies have done
wonders for me. Hoping that many
of my suffering sisters may be led to
take your medicine from reading this
letter , I remain , sincerely yours , MBS.
