Pottawnttanilo county Is Interested In a
hill that has been Introduced In the lower
house of the slate legislature to prevent
county boards contracting with non-rest-
dcnts to ferret out taxahlrkers. The su
pervisors of this county last November en
tered Uito a contract with F. M. Cunning
ham of Indiana that provides for the pny-
anent Jo him of CO per cent of the money
that muy ccine ; Into the county treasury
as a direct result of tlielr efforts In locating
property that Is not "bearing Its full or
proper proportion of taxes. Cunningham
was to have commenced work hero last
December , but has not yet put in an appear
ance. It is understood that similar work
clsowhcro In Ihu state has delayed htm. In
case the hill passes , and reports arc to
the effect that It probably will , the super
visors will bo compelled to rescind their
action awarding the contract to Cunning
ham. The originators of the bill believe
that If Bich ( .work Is necessary It can bo
performed equally well by local persons
Instead of outsiders.

The trial of J. A. Gregory , the desperado
and horsethlef who shot nnd seriously
wounded Constable Moss at Lovcland last
summer , when placed under arrest for
stealing a team of mules , has been eot for
next Monday In the district court. The
case watt continued last term on the appli
cation of Oregory , who complained he was
Unable to secure some Important witnesses ,
The prisoner asked for a further continuance
on the KUIIO grounds , but Judge Thorncll
yesterday refused to further postpone the
cnso nnd notllled Oregory that he would
have to go to trial Monday unless ho could
imiko a sulllclcnt showing to warrant a
further continuance.
Jesse Thompson , Fred H. Hanson and
Franlc Paul , Indicted at the present term ,
were arraigned and entered pleas of not
guilty. Henry Hoblnron , the negro porter
at the Ogden hotel , Indicted _ on the charge
of assaulting a guest with" Intent to commit
murder , pleaded guilty and was given n

The case against Mrs. B. P. Votes ,
charged with manslaughter In connection
with the death of her daughter , Ethel Yates ,
In this city , does not appear In the original
assignment made by Judge Thornell yester
day.
Yesterday was a busy one for Judge Thor
nell and a number of matters were disposed
of. Arguments In the demurrer In the
case of Hlranj Golsteln against William
Arnd , county treasurer , were submitted and
the demurrer overruled. This case arises
from the attachment of E. E. Adams' shoe
stock by the county treasurer for delinquent
taxes.
The motion to strike the petition of In
tervention of Forrest Smith In the Injunc
tion case against the city in connection
with the electric light contract was sub
mitted and taken under advisement by Judge
Thornell.

grocer , Indicted on the charge of violating
the law in respect to the sale of oleomar
garine , submitted a demurrer to the Indict
ment , and the constitutionality of the law
was also argued , Judge Thornell took the
case under advisement.
In the case of the Council Bluffs , Lake

pany against the City of Council Bluffs , the
ruling on the demurrer was vacated by
agreement. The city filed Its answer , the

niPiitH lliiMtlliiK for Pentium ; .
Since the supreme court laai Monday rcn *
tiered Its decision that none of the petitions
of consent lllcd under the old code , that
Is before October 1 , 1897 , are valid or of
nny force , the saloon men of Council Bluffs
liavo been figuring on eeurlng new petltlona.
In sumo cities , as , for Instan.-e , DCS Moines ,
Waterloo , Marshalltown nnd Oskaloosa , the
saloods have been clos-J until the now pe
titions can be secured and Illed. There IB
110 lulk , however , of the iwlnons In this city
taking any such radical action and they will ,
It Is said , keep on dclns business jus ! the
same as If the suprcaio court hail not
banded down miy decision vitally affecting
them. While the Faloons will continue to
keep open the saloon men will take steps
to secure new petitions A man named
Martin called at the city clerk's olllce yesterday -
terday and secured the names of all the
5alo"-ns in the city for the purpose , It Is
thought , of sccur.lng a contract from the
ialoon men to obtain the requlsltu number
Qf names to the now petitions.
The law requires that these petitions of
consent shall bear the signatures of CO per
: ent of the voters at the last preceding gen
eral election prior to the time of tiling.
This being the case , It will ho necessary
Tor the saloon men to secure the names of
bulf of the voters who cast their ballots
at the election last November. The total
vote In this city at that election was ap
proximately 3,800 and on this basis 1,900
names would be required.
In Pottawattamle comity there are fifty-
live saloons , which paid from July 1 , 1898 ,
lo July 1 , 1899 , J51.360.15 In taxes. Of this
number there are about thirty-five In the
city of Council Bluffs ,
Since the supreme court has handed down
Its decision the question has arisen whether ,
If the saloons wore operating Illegally , the
mulct tax that they have paid since the new
code went Into effect would not now be re
turnable to them. It Is argued that If the
contract was Illegal on one sldo It must
have been on the other- Should thU ques
tion bo pushed to a finish and In favor of
the saloon men It would be a serious mat
ter for the city , a U would Involve about
$100,000 that has been paid to the city and
cnunty by the saloons of Council Bluffs since
October , 1897.
The new petitions , when the requisite
number of signatures have been secured ,
will have to be filed with the Board of
County Supervisors. It Is not thought there
will be any difficulty In this city of securing
the requisite number of names to the new
petitions of consent.
M OF CAIIIM ; rim POOH.
County SiiiicrvlxorM llellcvo n ( iooil
Kiirm IN ( lie Only Solution.
The members of the Board of County Su
pervisors are of the unanimous opinion that
the only solution of the question of caring
for the poor of Pollawattamlo county Is a
poorfarm. The matter of caring for the
poor Is a question that is seriously confront
ing the supervisors slnco the reduction In
the levy. The cost of caring for the pauper
oU-ment of Pottnwnttamto county Is Increas
ing j-cnrly , whllo the poor fund Is dccn in-
'
Ing' With a county poor farm , the super
visors figure that the cost of caring for the
nceify could be reduced'to a minimum , with
n possibility of making the poor farm Belt-
supporting.
Last year the cost of providing for the
poor In Potta'.vattnmlo county amounted'to
approximately $20,000 , nnd there Is no reason
to believe that It wlU be any less this year.
In ifact , the Indications are that It will be
greater. The levy last year realized about
$20,000 for the poor fund , whllo this year
It will only amount to $11,000. The poor
fund has already been exhausted and nt the
beginning of the year the board found It
necessary to transfer $1,000 from the gen
eral to the poor fund.
In other counties poor farms have been
found to be paying Institutions. In Harrison
risen county the poor farm brings In a
revenue to the county , and In several other
counties they are self-supporting. There Is
no reason why , with a sufficiently large-
sized farm , the same conditions should not
prevail In this county , the supervisors argue.
When the matter of a poor farm was
broached In 1897 , the supervisors secured n
favorable option on a farm in Norwalk town
ship , four miles cast of Underwood , con
taining G20 acres , with a large house on It
containing twenty rooms. The owner of
this farm , Henry Cook , offered It to the
county for $18,350 , hut today ho says he
would not sell It for $10 an acre more. The
buildings on this farm cost over $0,000 , and
the Loard estimated at the time that It
wculd takci another $0.000 to put up thu
requisite additional buildings to accommo
date the number of paupers who would have
to be cared for. The proposition to purchase -
chase the Cook farm was submitted to the
voters and rejected.
The supervisors feel that so serious Is the
situation that the question- should bo again
submitted to the voters and this will prob
ably bo done at the election next November
unless It is shown in the meantime that
there would bo no chance of it carrying.
Such a proposition hns one difficulty to
contend with and that Is the Jealousy ex
isting between the eastern and western di
visions of tbo county.
In discussing the niatter yesterday , and In
fact It was the all absorbing topic at the
morning cession , the supervisors figured that
a good farm of 100 acres , with buildings to
accommodate from 150 to 200 persona , would
bo all that would bo needed for this county.
The supervisors contend that not only would
the poor farm solve the question of caring
for t'ho poor , but that It would be far better
for the paupers themselves. Not only would
they receive better euro and diet , but they
would derive the benefit from fresh air and
regular exercise on the farm. With proper
management , the board Is of the opinion ,
that n 1 CO-acro farm could bo made eelf-
sustaintng , even if It did not produce a
revenue.
The board held no afternoon session , but
will meet this morning to receive the report
of the committee to which wns referred the
matter of ex-Sheriff Morgan's settlement.
This committee , it Is understood , made a
formal demand on Morgan for the amount
which Bowman and Spencer Smith found he
owed the county.

\niiicd liy Slunr.
DES MOINES , Feb. 1. ( Special Tele
gram. ) The republican party will bo In the
midst of n factional fight within a week.
While the contest has not fully developed ,
yet indications point to a merry war be-
twceji the Ocnr nnd Cummins forces. It
"
wns "expected after the appointment of the
house committees by Speaker Bowen that
the factional feeling would disappear , but
In the last two days It has shown consid
erable llfo ngaln. A complete lineup of
Cumjnliis men has been made against Col
onel Rood , recently appointed by Governor
Shaw ns chairman of the Stnto Board of
Control. The Cummins men have Joined
with the democrats and have enough votes
to jlefcnt the Mount Vcrnon man. The
committee met this evening nnd decided to
bring in a favorable report. A minority
report will also bo Introduced and it is
expected will bo adopted.
Last night a banquet was hold In honor
of A. B. Cummins , the defeated candidate
for senator. The loyal thirty-eight men who
stood by him In the fight drank anew their
allegiance to the DCS Molncs man and de
clared they would control the next state re
publican convention.
Today the same factional feeling appeared
when the question of the election of a state
printer nnd binder came ui > In the senate.
There has been much opposition to the
election of these ofllccrs on account of the
exorbitant prices charged In the past. A
Joint resolution was introduced asking for
a joint convention nt 11:30 : tomorrow morn
ing , to elect a printer and hinder. The resolution
elution met with the opposition of the
Cummins men and the democrats , but enough
of the former were won over on account
of having made pledges previous to the
rpeakershlp fight to win the day for the ad
vocates of continuing the offices. The reso
lution wns messaged over to the house , but
that body completely Ignored It , although It
Is expected eomo recognition will be taken
the first thing In the moinlng. As the
matter now elands H Is believed the repub
licans will bo able to muster enough votes
to elect n printer and binder , although it Is
thought the entire Cummins force will be
rallied together with the democrats , which
will Insure defeat.
The first extended discussion this morn
ing has developed over the bill providing
that In criminal cases where new evidence
Is discovered notice of It may bo served
upon the attorney of the defendant , as well
as the defendant , as the law now pro
vides. The measure before the senate this
morning was a house bill , but contained
the same provisions as the one Introduced
by Senator Harrlman early In the session.
The bill passed without material amend
ment.
Old Solillern Ilolil n. Cnticiin.
About fifteen old soldiers Interested In
the bill to do away with the provision for
rctglnlng all in excess of $6 of the pensions
of soldiers In tlieSoldiers' Home , cau-
cusscd this morning , and discussed the
measure. It IB favorcil by all and will prob
ably be Introduced shortly.
The bill Introduced by Sauer of Dubuque
to keep polls for elections open until 7 o'clock
In the evening passed the house this morn
ing by a vote of 81 to 9. The necessity of
it was urged by representatives of both
country and city districts. The measure
regarding the minutes to be kept by grand
juries , which had previously gone through
the senate , passed the house without oppo
sition this morning.
The Tltut ) biennial election hill passed
the lower house tcday by a vote of 85 to 7
and is now ready for the signature of the
governor.
The bill revolutionizes the holding of elec
tions in Iowa , its chief provision doing away
with tbo holding of annual elections.
The measure for constitutional amendment
will bo submitted to the people at the next
general election and If approved will go Into
operation. The proposed constitutional
amendment has now passed through two
sessions of the legislature.
Several new measures were introduced in
the senate. One by Ferrln , by request , is
backed by the Loyal Legion of the state
and provlden that the use of the national
colors on any article of merchandise shall
bo a misdemeanor. The Ivoyal Legion has
presented the same hill In twelve states ,
It being designed to do'away with the com
mon use of the national Hag. Hobart In
troduced one creating a state board of dental
examiners , the measure which has been an
ticipated , and one making It n misdemeanor
for tin unauthorized attorney to practice In
the Ftate. Hayward has one to Increase the
salary of. the superintendent of the Sol
diers' Orphans' Homo from $1,200 to $1,800.
Ulanchard has ono to provide that after ten
years liens against mortgages and other like
instruments shall bo outlawed ,
A bill was Introduced In the house by Mc-
Curdy to appropriate $80,000 for the expenses
of ratnrning the Forty-ninth and Fifty-first
regiments to the state and to Include In
the number all mustered out within sixty
days of tbo general muster.

A measure which has stirred up about ns
otlff a breeze as anything yet brought bu-
fore the assembly Is Senator Hayward's med
ical bill. The original bill provided that a
special committee should he sent to the State
university to examine Its medical Htudcnts
for admission to practice In the elate. This
went to the senate judiciary committee ,
which reported a substitute bill , providing
that State university students should bo ex
empted from state examination and admitted
to practice for u fee of $5. The present fee
Is $20 , nnd the substitute bill raised a pro
test from not only the medical schools , but
physicians nnd surgeons all over the state ,
who charged class legislation. After the
Judiciary committee was convinced of the
strong opposition to the substitute bill It
went back to the committee , which has re
ported out a new bill , placing all the recog
nized medical schools on the same plane. A
special examining committee Is to be sent to
each , nnd the students admitted on payment
of n fee of $10. This measure Is expected to
go through without opposition.
\atloiiiil nuiiril Iebullition.
Among the Important bills before the as
sembly are those bearing on national guard
legislation. One was drawn up by Adjutant
CJeneral Byers. It provides tor the organlza-
lion of the new national guard along tbo
HUM laid out In tbo governor's biennial
message , except that the office of colonel 1
continued flectlve , whereas the governor
recommended that It be left vacant , eo that
when 'emergency arose It could be filled by
regular army olllcers. The bill does away
with the brigade organizations , which are
looked upon as top-heavy affairs , and pro
vides that In war times the governor shall '
flraw tberpay of a ranking colonel for the
work of adjutant general end acting quartermaster - I
termaster general , $3,000 per year. There U
also a measure appropriating $75,000 to build
3. new arsenal upou the vacant lot just cant
of the capital building , and one to give Ad
jutant General Byerc , for his cervices dur
ing the Into war , the pay of colonel from
May 1 , 189S. to January 1 , 1000. These are
all expected to pass without serious opposi
tion.
