GRAND JURY FINISHES WORK Brown , the Broadway Grocer , is Indicted for Soiling Oleomargarine , INVESTIGATION OF LTHEL YATES1 DEATH ' 1)1 vine llcnlur" .Iniiien unit Mother of ( he ( tlrl Indicted on Clinrne of 11 el n ir Crlniliinlly The district court grand Jury , which had completed Its work Tuesday aftrnoon , mada Its Html report to Judge Smith yesterday morning , in the absence of Judge Thornell , and was discharged lor the term. A number of Indictments we're returned , but only ono of them was made public , the others being withheld , as the defendants were not in custody. The indictment made public was against Ell IJrown , the Uroadway grocer , on the charge of uelllng and having In hi. ) posses sion for aale oleomargarine containing col oring matter In Imitation of butter , in viola tion of the Iowa laws. The Indictment la the result of prosecutions Instituted against Hrowti and other dealers in this- city by the state dairy commissioner and hU dep uty. The others pleaded guilty nnd paid flnos , but Urown took the otam ! that the law waa unconstitutional and decided to light the case , taking It to the supreme court If necessary. Ilrown at once gave ball for bis appearance. Although the Indictments were not made public , It was admitted In the couuty nt- torney'H ofllce that the grand Jury had found "truo bills" against S. J. James of South Omaha , the "divine healer , " and Mrs. P. 11. Yatca of Tabor , la. , on the charge of being criminally responsible for the death of the latter'a daughter , Ethel Yates , which oc curred In this city January f > . ) The grand jury made the following report on the city jail : "Wo have examine , ! the city jail nt Council Bluffs nnd nnd that It is not kept clean ; that It Is not properly ventilated , and the prisoners confined there are not sufficiently supplied with bedding. A number of prisoners were confined In the city Jail at the time of our visit , on Jan uary 12 , 1900. " Judge Smith Instructed the clerk of the district court to call the attention of the city authorities to the report of tlie grand jury. The report of the grand jury on the county jail ehowed that It was In good condition. _ The grand jury In the case of Justice Vlen decided that there was no criminal Intent on his part In withholding certain fees from the county which ho claims are duo him for ofllco rent and expenses , and County At torney Kllpack will bring suit to rcco\-cr the amount. This is exactly what Justice Vlen desired , as the question can then bo settled by the courts on an agreed tate- ment of facts. In the event of the court ruling against him , Justice Vlon Is at once prepared to turn over the 1190 to the county treasurer. Judge Smith granted Mrs. Jennie Wlen- berger a divorce from Joseph W. Wlen- berger on the grounds of desertion. Judge Smith will preside until Judge Thornell returns from Atlantic , where he was called In connection with matters re lating to the defunct Cass County bank. Rev. Thomas E.

Deal ivllh tilt : ( In'cNlIonx of Klcctrle I.lurliUiiir mill Ilonil INKIIC. * The supreme court of this state handed down Tuesday two decisions which are of vital Importance to this city. Ono was the ruling In the Dea Molnes municipal electric lighting plant case , nnd the other the de cision In the Cedar Rapids municipal bond caEe. Hoth are of peculiar Interest to the people of Council Bluffs , as the city had recently been contemplating letting a con- tiact for a miinlclp.il lighting plant and be cause the Cedar Rapids bond case bears di rectly upon the issue of bonds recently authorized by the city council to take up tin ) outstanding general and water fund war rants for the purpose ) of placing the city or. a cash basis. In the first case the supreme court holds that a city practically cannot enter Into a contract for the erection of a municipal plant which Imposes on the city liabilities In excess of the constitutional limit of debt. In the case at bar the contract pro vided Unit the plant should bo paid for In Inrtallmcnts , ami at the conclusion of the term covornl by the payments the plant should become the city's'property. . This was the B.-imo proposition that Alderman Cns-por tried to Involve thin city In. The ruling of the supreme court Is conceded to deal a black cyo to all attempts of cities In this state to obtain miiniclp.il ownership of public utilities : The court In Its ruling salil , In part : "II Is generally held that future revenues may bo anticipated to meet contracts for current expenses , but there Is radical dis tinction between a contract to procure light for a city and a contract for the construc tion of an electric light plant , and the no- ccbtlty for the plant would constitute no ex- ciisti for the violation of the constitution. \Vhero the contract Is for the erection of an improvement nnd the tlmo of payment Is postponed to Inter date nnd no special levy is authorized to pay for the Improvement , then the rule Is well settled that the sums to become duo In tlio futurn must bo taken into account In estimating the existing debt. AH a general rule a city may not anticipate Its general revenue to be creatfd by a scheme of general taxation. The legislative Intent liar been to pluco the city on a cash basis ami prvvent the accumulation of a IkutIns Indc-btedncES. H Is said on behalf of the city that it did not obligate itself to pay more under the contract for the plant than It had heretofore been paying for lighting. Surh situation , however , does not authorize tht > city to enter Into a contract for the con- stiuctlon of n plant In violation of the con stitutional limitation. The provision that the city should rebuild the plant In case of < ' ( r.trncton ! by fire or otherwise could not bo enforcid If when tlmo for performance nr- rived the city was Indebted to the consti tutional limit. " The proposition made by E. L. Draffcn nnd the othpr Chicago bidders to erect an elcc- trln lighting plant In this city to bo owned lu the future by the municipality was on the same bails as tbo Dea Molnes contract called for. The decision In the Cedar Haplcle "bond case Is favorable to the Issue of the bonds recently authorized by the city council. Judge Dillon ot New York , to whom the val idity of the- bonds was referred , has been holding bis opinion back until the Cedar Iluplds caeo was derided. Wallu the case there and the proposed Issue here ore not exactly analogous , etlll many of the tame points are Involved In bolh. The $200,000 i IfFiie authorized by the city council was proposed to take up the old outstanding Ktnirnl and writer fund warrants and thus place thu city on a cash basis. Ono of the innln. point * Involved wna whether such ' Ifune of bonds would enilso tlio IndebtCilnejH i of the city to exceed the constitutional limiter or whether tlipy would simply tnko the plncc of the warrants for which they were to bo exchanged. The ruling of the supretmj ccnrt sfems to alllrm the doclrlno that they would not Intumso the IndebtednwH. In thn light of this decision the city officials anticipate a favorable derision from Judge Dillon on the % nllillty of the Issue hero. IIOAItl ) OK COt VI'Y SflMJHVISOHS.

The Hoard of County Supervisors at Its session Wednesday afternoon took another turn at the matter of Sheriff Cousins' depu ties and , despite the fact that Judge Thor nell had appointed Harry nrown nnd Fred Peterson permanentbalHITa of the district court , adopted the following resolution : Resolved , by the board , Tlmt In constru ing the resolution of ilnto of January 11 , HUM , the Intention IB that the entire ex pense to accrue to the county'ln the matter of employment of bailiffs to the district court nnd grand Jury at Council Hluffs , In addition to the salaries to lie paid deputy sheriffs , shall be 12 n day for ono bailiff for each , the said district court and grand Jury , the latter to be paid for services only dur ing the sessions of that body.

The board confirmed the appointments of II. B. Crofts and A.

The bonds of the banks In which the county's money Is deposited were referred back to County Treasurer Arnd for the sureties to qualify under oath.
