TO REGULATE THE SI OP-BOXES
Oily Council Propoies to Enforoa the

WILL BE NO RESPECTER OF PERSONS
Private Individuals nnd Cor'iiorntlitiiM
.Slnnil n Mil * Nil me Level In lln-
of ( lie I.IMV l-'lim
fur Fell u re.
City ofllclalfi say the "stop-box" ordi
nance , passed by the council Monday , will
bo euforced at once and that no distinction
will bo made between corporations and
private owners.
Ono of the provisions of the ordinance
requires that all stop-boxes must be adJusted -
Justed to comply with the present level of
the sldowalks and this has raised tlui
question whether the city can compel a
person to lower a stop-box to the level of
a sidewalk which has sunk below grade , the
stop-box being nt grade. This question was
brought up at the time the ordinance was
introduced and the aldermen decided U
would bo cheaper to adjust the stop-boxrH
to the level of the sidewalks "than to bring
the sidewalks which had sunk up to grade , '
especially in the case of brick or stone
walks.
The measure requires that all owners of
stop-boxen which arc not Hush with the
sidewalks tjhall adjust them so ns to be on I
a level with the walks within ten days after i
they shall have received notice from the
city council to do so. |
Another provision of the ordinance Is that
In future all stop-boxen shall be made so
so that they can bo readily adjusted to
meet the level ot the sidewalk. That Is , In i
case the walk sinks the stop-box shall bo '
lowered , or In case it Is found necessary to
raise the walk the box can be brought up
to the same level. It also provides that all
stop-boxes shall bo level with the sidewalk ,
whether the walk bo placed on a temporary
or permanent grade.
The measure makes It the duty of all
persons owning the stop-boxes to keep them
at all times level with the walks. To rcgu- '
late the placing of stop-boxes In the future
on sidewalks the ordinance provides that no
box shall be located more than eight Inches
from the curb. In many places In the city , !
especially In the business streets , the boxes
are located In the. middle of the walk.
Many of the brick walks have sunk and the
slop-boxes protrude several Inches above1
the level of the walks , making them I
stumbling-blocks and sources of danger to |
thtj pedestrian. The city has at present two '
pureonnl injury damage suits on its hands ,
owing to a stop-box on Broadway at Tenth
street being several inches above the level
of the walk. j
Both the waterworks and gas company
will bo compelled , in order to comply with
the ordinance , to readjust a largo number
of these stop or cut-off boxes. The. penalty
fo.- failure to comply with the ordinance is
a fine not exceeding $50.

CONVICTION FOIL. J. A.
i'oniul Ciiilltv of Assault jvlth Intent
to Commit Creat Moillly Injury. .
The trial of the case against J. A. Greg
ory , the horsethief and desperado , charged j
with shooting at Chief of Police Sam Albro
with Intent to commit murder ; was brought
to a close In the district court yesterday
afternoon. The jury retired about 3 o'clock
and at 12:30 : returned a compromise ver
dict , guilty of assault with Intent to com
mit great bodily Injury.
Txvo witnesses , John Sharp and Charles
Butler , were placed on the stand for the de
fense , their testimony being principally to
shoxv that Gregory Is a dead shot with a re
volver and that at the time of the fusillade
xvlth the ofllcers he had not fired with any j
Intention of hitting the ofllcers. The evl- |
deuce of these witnesses xvas to the effect J
that Gregory could at sixty feet pierce a
mark the size of a dollar with every bullet
from a revolver.
In their argument * , to the Jury counsel for
Gregory took the position that their client
acted In self-defense ; that as Albro and
James wore mackintoshes over their unl-
forms , and as there was nothing about them
to Indicate that they were ofllccrs , Gregory
was not 'bound ' to recognize them as such ,
and that when they Interefored with his
rights on the highway ho wns justified In
acting in self-defense with his firearms.
As soon as the trial of this case was com
pleted the work of Impaneling a Jury to
try Gregory on the charge of shooting
Constable Hardln Moss of Loveland was
commenced. The same dlfllculty as in the
previous case was experienced In securing
u jury and It xvas past 6 o'clock before
txvelvu men were selcclod. The Jurors se-
leclcd nro us folloxx-s : John Green , F. II.
Swan , 0. H. Lucas , II. G. Mlllard , H. C.
Palterson , John Hallo , John Barhyto ,
Charles Hock , G. II. Acker , S , 1C. Smith , Gus
Larson , John Fitzgerald , The original panel
xvns quickly exhnusted nnd a special venire
had to bo Issued.
County Attorney Kllpack decided yestor-
day not to try nt this term the case against '
Gregory , in which ho Is charged with the |
theft of a mule belonging to E. I > . Laughlln j
of Ashland , Neb. In the Indictment in this |
particular case Gregory Is also charged with |
being an habitual criminal. It Is charged
that on three previous occasions ho had
been convicted of a felony , to-wlt : Once ,
on September 7. 18S6 , nt Logan , Harrlsjii j
county ; once on October 22 , 1891 , at Jeffor-
son , Green county , and once In IS95 nt
Greenfield , Adalr county. On nil thrco oc-
cniduns ho xvns convicted for horse stealing |
nnd sentenced lo lerms In llio penllentlary. ! i
I His attorneys yesterday filed a motion to J !
i strike out nil parts of the indictment re- j
furring to the previous convictions , und for i
I thin reason Iho county attorney decided to
i postpone the trial until next term. This
motion has not yet been submitted to
Judge Thornell.
At the conclusion of the trlnl of this case
against Gregory the case against Leo Kills , | i
, charged with resisting an olllcor when | |
placed under urrrat at Ncoln , will be taken
up. The witnesses nro nlrcady on hand.

r on liilicrHmioo 'Tax.
County Attorney Kllpack has received the
following ruling from Treasurer of State
Herrlott in reference to Iho collection of
thu collateral Inheritance tax :
"Tho purpuso nnd the application of the
so-called exumptlon of $1,000 nllnweTl In the
nsscf : ncnt of the collateral Inherltnnco tax
Imposed by the provisions of chapter , title
7 , of the cede have been determined by n
ruling of the supreme court in the case
of Herriott against Bacon , filed January 23 ,
1DOO.
"Tho court holds In this case that whcr- ?
nn estate liable In whole or In part for the
Inheritance tux exceeds $1,000 In value , after
the paymcnlH of debts , the entire amount
going to c/ollateral / heirs Is subject to the
tax , without any deduction or exemption.
Where an estate does not amount to $1,000
no tax Is to bo assessed. For example , an
estate netting only $900 would not ho liable
for the tax , whereas , an estate amounting
to ? 1,100 would be assessed for 0 per cent
of the entire amount , or $70. In other w'ords
the * so-called exemption is simply descrip
tive cf subjects subject to the tax , not a
limitation of the amount ot the succession
on which the tax may ho exacted.
"This ruling of the supreme court henco-
Jorth governs Uio treasury department in
the collection of the collateral inheritance
tax. "
Prior to this ruling by the supreme court
lawyers throughout the state held that the
law Intended that $1,000 should be deducted
from the assets of an estate before the In-
hcritauco tax should bo computed.

Tried for Murder of Ills 1'iirlinT.
SIOUX CITY , Feb. C. ( Special Tele
gram. ) Wooclbury county court house was '
packed to the doors today at the prellml- ,
nary hearing of Oscar A , Goodrich , charged
with the murder , December 2 ! ) , of John Ilob-
BOII , his partner. It was the most sensa
tional case hero elncp the Hardoek murder ,
trial , ten years ago , for If the charges were
found to have foundation the crime wns
atrocious because of the lifelong friendship
of the murdered man and the nccuecd. j i
County Attorney Hallam moved soon at- I
tor court convened that the CIIBO be dls- I
missed for , luck of uufllclont evidence. It | I
was n dramatic moment In the court room ,
and a long silence followed. Henry Morrl- j
son , the detective who signed the Informa1 1 "
tlon for the arrest of Goodrich , ono of the i
prominent mem of the city , allowed evident 1
emotion. Defendant's counsel objected to j
the motion and the motion was overruled

to clear all from name.
The ease will go to the grand Jury later , I'o-
llco ofllccrs and others , who found Koluon ;
a hotel housekeeper , who found Goodrlch's
bed undisturbed the night of the murder ,
and others testified for the prosecution. The
cane has been kept a mystery and the cvl-
donee proves weak. The hearing will occupy
another day and Uoodruh | may proceed

DALLAS CKNTKR , la. . Feb. 0. ( Special

a sensation here. It la not on account of ,
fear of the disease , but because a few fain-
Illes have rebelled against the order of the
local Board of Health requiring the pupils
of the public BchoolB to be vaccinated. Thu
remarkable feature of the affair is that this
opposition is led by tbo president of tha
school board. The kickers have oven gene
so fur as to consult legal authorities , and
they persist In refusing to have their v-bll- .
idrcn vaccinated. I

ernor's second nomination to place on the
State Hoard of Control has been tendered.
It has been tendered , but to whom ? This Is
the question asked on every side today. Last
evening Governor Shaw left the city , pre
sumably In the Interets of this appointment.
It was reported that he. went to Chicago ,
but those who claim to bo on the Inside say
the governor Is not out of the state. Just
where he Is no one seems able to toll , but
that , ho Is away In the interest of the ap
pointment every one agrees. It was ad
mitted In the executive ofllco today that he
would probably return to DCS Molnes today
and his second nomination bo sent to the
senate tomorrow. Meanwhile the guesses
are divided among the names of J. G. Hutch
ison ot Ottumwa , ex-Senator II. ti. Water
man of Ottumwa , Major C. A. Stanton of
Centervllle , Major B. A. Conslgney ot Avoca ,
Judge G. S. Robinson of Sioux City and n
few others. It Is known that Hutchison ,
Waterman or Hobipson would be acceptable
to the Rood oppoiiehta. Many believe the
governor is considering'a man outside the
list heretofore discussed.
The senate , passed the bill which pro
vides that the school fund may be loaned
in sums as hlgli as $3,000 and at as low a
rate as fi per cent , one-half of 1 per cent
to go to the county for handling the funds.
Trowln's bill providing that all liquor fines
shall go to the county treasury instead of
the school fund , as now , was Indefinitely
postponed , as was Crossley's bill to make
county attorneys members of county boards
of Insanity , ex-odlclo. Ball's bill extending
the State university building tax was recom
mitted that a fuller Description may be made
of the taxi Emmort's measure doing away
with the present provision that petroleum
tax may bo made only in Welsbach lamps
was recommitted to 'get a better under
standing of the merits of the measure.

Only three cases of mortgage foreclosure
Involving farm land occurred in Urcmer
county during thu year 1S99 , according to the
Wavorly Republican , uid in two of the In
stances the land wns unimproved , fore
closure being- made lo perfect title. Speak
ing ot this record the lleiiubllcan remarks :
"The absence of foreclosures Is particularly
noticeable In the dairy portion of the
county. You would need to search In the
records for a good many years back to find
a farm sold under foreclosure where the oc
cupant of the farm was near to a creamery
and kept all the cows which could be prop
erly cared for on his farm. This WHS not
the case twenty or more years ago , before
the dairy and creamery business had com
pletely supplanted exclusive grain raising
on our farms. In the year 18-SO alone llfteun
good Hremer county farms , each of eighty
acres and upward In size , were sold by the
sheriff under mortgage foreclosure.

NEW YORK , Feb. G. Men of prominence
in money and banking circles to the number
of nearly -400 met tonight at the annual
banquet of group Xo. 8 of the Now York
Bankers' association , held at the Waldorf-
Astoria. It had 'been expected Secretary
Gagu would bo at the banquet , hut n tele
gram was read from him In which it was
stated that ho could not bo present on ac
count of his health.
Among these at Iho guests' table were
Rev. Dr. David Greer , J. Kdward Simmons ,
Fred D , Tappens , Joseph C. Hendrlx , J.
I'lerpont Morgan , Charles Kmory Smith ,
postmaster general ; Morris K , Jessup , City
Comptroller Bird S. Color nnd Conrad Jor
dan , The toast , "Tho President of th
United States , " was drunk standing amid
gicat enthusiasm.
Postmaster General Charles Kmory Smith
spoke.
Just ns the postmaster general was con
cluding lila speech Governor Roosevelt 011-
tered the room , accompanied by ox-Gov-
ornor Morton , and they were given a rous
ing reception.
Tbo hankers stood up nnd shouted their
approval as the governor bowed his ac
knowledgments.
Senator Hoverldgo of Indiana spoke In
part as follows :
"If a banker Is merely the servant of
business , If ho Is merely nn agent of the
American people , It Is impossible that ho
should want to injure the people or their
husincFS because that would Injure him
self. If the bank prospers only when the
country prospers It follows it is the bank
er's chief Interest to guard the country's
prosperity. And since the laboring man |
can get best employment only when the |
eountry prospers It Is also the laboring '
man's chief Interest to guard the country's j
prosperity. And so the laborer and banker
Bland eldo by sldo wlti } the same Interests , i
the same purposes and the name results following - )
lowing their actions ; for If either does anything - I
thing that destroys the prosperity of the
other , or the prosperity of thu country , he
thereby destroys his own prosperity.
"And the welfare of the worklngman
means the precedent prosperity of the man
ufacturer who employs him. And the pros
perity of the manufacturer depends upon
the prosperity of the fanner who buys
everything he makes. And the prosperity
of the railroad Is possible only when rapid
and pcnoral exchange of product * of farm ,
factory and mine occurs. And so the real
prosperity of every industry nnd every call
ing rests on the prosperity of every other
industry and calling In the nation. When
we Injure ono we Injure all. When ono
Injures another it Injures tne rest. For we
