A report gnlned currency In tho city yes
terday that Judge Dillon of Now York, to
whom the validity of tho bond Issuo or
dered by the city council to tnke up the
outstanding water and city warrants had
been submitted, had handed down his opin
ion In favor of the Issue, but on investiga
tion this wns found to be Incorrect. Judgo
Dillon wrote hero saying tho (Into of the
Issue of tho bonds bad been omitted nnd
suggested that Instead of having another
Ihbuk printed that with the consent of tho
mayor and city auditor, who had signed
tho bonds, tbo date September 1, 1899, he
lithographed on tho Issue. City officials
drew the Inference from this that Judge
Dillon had derided that tho IsBUe was valid
nnd this gave circulation to thn roport.
Judge Dillon's ruling is now looked for in
a few days.

pines will be disposed of by donating $100
to the Soldiers' Cemetery association of tho
Grand Array of tho Republic and tho bal
ance to Company L, Fifty-first regiment,

reorganized In this city. This was decided

mory. This disposition of the surplus cash In
the entertainment fund was reached only
aftor a long discussion and after the claims
of numerous other applicants had been en
tertained and thoroughly ennvaosed.
The first to present a claim for part of
tho fund was Father Uurk of St. Pcter'u
Catholic church, who urged sulllclent amount
bo appropriated for the purchase of tho
city ambulance for the use of the two hos
pitals and tho city at large. Tho militia
company recently organized In the city, he ' Wilcox Is tho well-known retnll and whole
asserted, was not tho samo organization , snlo florist; Spencer Smith Is nn attorney
ns tho old Company L that had foug". t In
the Philippines and consequently had not,
as urged by Home, a paramount claim on
the money. Ho said further that soldiers
in time of pence were, anyway, in hit
opinion, much like boys with sticks playing
soldier,
Oeorgo L. Judson, who appeared for Com
pany L, resented Fnther Ilurk's Btntcmcnt
nnd urged that the company had a valid
claim on tho money. Ho nald tho money
had originally been raised for tho entertain
ment of tho FIfty-flrst volunteers and par
ticularly for a reception and banquet to
the boys of the home company, Company L.
Tho latter, howover. failed to arrive In time
to participate In the entertainment. He
stated that the membership of tho new com-1
pany was composed largely of tho men who j It Is not tho Intention that this commltteo

A. T. Fllcklnger presented the claims of
the Woman's Christian association, which,
he said, had cared for several mombers of j
tho FIfty-flrst regiment suffering from
wuuiiuh ami iiniesH wiuioui maicmg any

of such services, he said, would amount to
forty weeks, which at tbo usual rates would

A meeting of tho Pottawattamie Har as
sociation wai held yesterday morning for
tho purposo of discussing tho bill now pend
ing In tho state legislature for the transfer
of Harrison county from tho Fourth to tho
Fifteenth Judicial district. .1. J. Stewart
presided In the absence of President "Moomcr,
who Is confined to hlB homo as n result of
an accident. Tho secretary read a letter from
Stato Senator Hnzelton, at whoso rcouest
tho meeting had been called, In which ho
asked for an expression of the views of tho
Har association upon tho proposed bill, nnd
In which he stated that ho wns confident
thnt the members of tbo Btato legislature
desired to act only in accordance with tho
wishes of tho bar. C. H. Altchlson presented
tho following resolution:
Wherens, A bill Is now pending In tho
house of representatives of tho Iown legls
lature. Introduced by Representative Klrk
wnrv.1 nt llurrlsnii eciutv. to annex Harri
son county to tho Fifteenth Judicial dis
trict or iown. aim
Whereiis. tliirrlsnn rolintv Is In the KUtlin
congressional district and is allied to us In
imslncss ana social reunions, is near u
by roason or transportation facilities nnd
geography. Is remote from other portions of
the district It Is now In. and
Whereas, It would bo to me nuvaiuage oi
tlii uennlo nf that count v and tend to les
sen for them expense, delay and annoyance
In their law business nnd In obtaining or
ders, writs and processes and of advantage
to us In the matter or changes or venue In
both civil and criminal business nnd a sav
ing to the public and municipalities thereby,
tncrernro do u
Resolved. That the I'ottawniiami l ounty
Har association unanimously declares Itsolt
In favor of said bill, anil be It
Further resolved, That we earnestly re
quest anil recommend our members In tho
house and senate to favor Its passage and
that a copy ot these resolutions bo for
warded to tbo state senator and tho repio
suutatlvcs from this county.
After considerable discussion tho motion
to adopt tho resolution wns amended to
refer it to tho commltteo on legislation, con
sisting of W. 11. Wnro, S. II. Wadsworth nnd
N. M. Pusoy, with Instructions to report at
nn adjourned meeting to be hold Saturday
morning noxt. Tho secretnry was Instructed
to secure a copy of the bill, to write to tho
Judges of tho Flftoonth Judicial district for
their opinions as to the proposed change and
to write to the clerk of tho district court of
Harrison county nnd members of the Hnrrl
boii county bar for information as to tho
status nl their docket and tho fooling among
tho members of tho bar on the transfer of
their county to this Judicial district.
Several attempts have been mndo In tho
past to effect tho transfer of Harrison county
Into this Judicial district, but they huvo al
ways been defeated, mainly, It Is Bald, on
political grounds. There aro several reasons
urged for the change. Tho Fourth district
Is very large, comprising as It does tho
counties of Cherokee, O'Hrlen, Osceola,
Lyons, Sioux, Plymouth, Woodbury, Harri
son and Monona, It oxtends to tho north
lino of tho stnto and the conditions In tho
district aro such as to roako attendance on
court extremely difficult and inconvenient
for residents of Harrison county.
Harrison county forms a part of tho Ninth
congres.lonnl district, which comprises other
counties as follows: "Adair, Audubon, Oats,
Guthrie, i.MUls, Montgomery, l'ottawattamlo
and Shelby. It Is bound by ties, both social
and business, to Pottawattamie county. It
having originally been largely settled from
this county. Logan, tb county neat ot Har-
rloon county, Is closer to Council Muffs
than nre many of tho towns In Pottawatta
mie county. .Missouri Valley, tho largest
town In Harrlsqn county, has Intimate con
nections both socially nnd In a business
manner with this city. Tho Fifteenth Judi
cial district comprises tho counties of Au
dubon, Cnss, Fremont, Mills, Montgomery,
Page, Pottawattamie nnd Shelby. Tho dis
trict has four Judges. They nro Judges
Thorncll of Sidney, Macy of Hnrlnn, Smith
of Council Muffs nnd (Jreen of Audubon.
Judgo Macy'a term expires this year. In
the event of Harrison county being trans
ferred to this district It would probably
mean tho election of an additional Judge.
Pultlng politics aside the members of tho
locnl bar aro In favor of tho Incorporation of '
Harrison county In this Judlclnl district, and-1
from tho sentiments expressed at 'the meet- I
ing yesterday it Is believed that tho resolu- i
Hon Introduced by Altchlson will bo adopted
next Saturday unless the commltteo on leg- '
islntlnn should present some reasons why
tho change would not be advantageous to
tho district nt large.

James McKisalck commenced suit in the
United States circuit court hero against J.
1". Faiiblon. Simpson Flnnoll, Thomas O.
Morgan. O. S. Wing and Thomas Slmmonn
to recover damages In tho sum of $15,000.
This action is a sequel to tho sensational
suit brought In tho Bamo court by Faublon
against MrKUilck and which was dismissed
aj. the September term of last yo.ir.
Over fifty years ago Faublon and McKls
slck lived on adjoining claims In Mills
county. In 1816 Faublon, wh)le lying In
bed In his small log cabin, was shot through
tho hip with a rlllo ball by some unknown
party. Shortly after tho shcotlng McKls-
slck went to California, where ho has slin'o
! resided and becomo wealthy. Faublon, who
w 'i rcsuu oi wio saoouug mui uccome a
crlpplo for life, went to Missouri whrro ho
hns since resided. In tho early part of 1S9S
Mt'KUsIck roturned to his former home In
this stato and Is alleged to have told a
friend that It was he who shot Faublon and
that ho did so by mlBtake. This readied
. Faublon's ears and he brought suit for $25, -I
000 against McKUslck In tho Fremont county
1 court, but later raised the amount to $50,-
000 when tho c.iso wns transferred to the
federal court. Ho attached property of Me
Klsslck'H, giving an attachment bond of
$40,000, on which tho defendants In tho pres
ent suit were sureties. Faublon In his suit
claimed that tho action wns not hatred by
1 the statute of limitation, ns hu had never
known who wns respotiilblo for tho ehooi
lug nnd his permanent Injury until McKU
slck told the story himself. Judgo Woolson.
however, dlsmltned tho suit, holding that
tho fltatuto of limitation acted as n bar,
desplto tho fact that tho nlleged guilty party
had not been known sooner.
McKlssIck In his petition alleged that the
defendants Induced Faublon to bring the
suit for tho purposo of compelling him, Mc
Klsslck, to well his property at a sarrlllro.
Ho claims thnt tbo nttachmcnt placed on
his property prevented him telling It and
that when ha vau uble to dUpcao of It, after
tho nttachmcnt had been released, It hnd
depreciated In value to the extent of $2,600.
Ho claims also that ho was put to great ox
penso by reason of tho suit brought by Fnu
blou, which ho alleges was entirely without
causo nnd wholly malicious, and therefore
demands Judgment In tho sunt of $15,000.

Report on Slnte I'lnnnecn.
Ono of the Important features of today's
proceedings is tho Joint report of the wnys
and means commltteo of the two houses
on tho condition of tho state's finances. The
report contnlns Itemized statements of the
present condition of tho stato treasury, tho
funds which will bo available during the
coming biennial period, tho estimated cur-
5.u"."i: total estimated expenditures for
tho period or $3,742,697, leaving n balance of
$1,275,448, which tho committee consider as
the amount available for extraordinary ap
propriations by the legislature.
Tho legislature Is warned that the esti
mates of nvallablo revenue do not Include
! tho lnt,cr slx months of 1901. Just prior to
tho meeting cf tho next tirsembly, nnd Is
reminded that tho only three sources of
revenuo during that period will bo from
Inherit unco taxes, Btato officers' fees nnd
from stato charltablo levies of counties.
Kstlmatlng at tho same ratio aB In the other
parts of tho report, expenditures nggrcgat
Ing $935,000 will bo mot by revenuo receipts
of only $815,000 for this period. Tho as
sembly is also cautioned that during the

Tho assembly Is also cautioned to remem
ber thnt tho stato treasury should not bo
deprived of a safe working cash balance
during this time. A review of this report
Indicates that If the present assembly goes
upon the theory of not exhausting tho stato
treasury it will materially modify most of
the requests for appropriations before it.

The anti-pass bill by Repre3cntatlvo
Hughes has been made a special ordor In the
house for next Tuesday. It has been recom
mended for passage by the committee, but
In such an amended form that tho original
spirit of tho bill hns nbout entirely dis
appeared. In Its present lorm It does no:
apply to state officials, members of tho as
mbly or Judges of the supremo court, as
It originally did, but simply to delegates to
political conventions nnd their alternates.
The mensuro may pass in Its present form.
The first minority report which has been
filed In tho senate, excepting tho one on
the confirmation of Colonel Rood, camo Into
tho sonato this week on tho Brighton valued
policy bill. Chairman Craig of tho sonnto
Insurance committee filed the mnjority re
port, following which tho minority report
wai filed, signed by eight members of the
committee. There are but twelvo mem
bers on tho committee, nnd Chairman Craig
was called upon to explain how a minority
rfport could be filed by eight members nnd
etllt be a minority pplnlnn. Ho explained
that seven mombers of tho commltteo wcr.'
present when tho bill was acted upon, nnd
five of the seven voted to report It for

Tho cause of tho new normal schools re
ceived another black eyo today In the pns
sagc by tho house of tho measure conferring
upon tho denominational schools of tho
state tho same favors to tho graduates of
their normal departments as to those shown
the graduates of tho stnto normal schools,
certificates without stato examination. Tho
denominational schools havo been lighting
hard for this. The voto on tho bill stood
73 to 14.
Tho causo of tho new normal school Is
conceded to bo dead. There may be a
chnnco of a bill by Senator Arthur to grant
counties tho light to maintain normal de
partments, whero they furnish tho building
and tho stato the teachers, but littlo Is
heard In regard to this, nnd tho mutter
may bo left In stntu quo, trusting to thn
abovo measuro to relievo tho congested
condition at tho present State Normal school.
Tho legislators take a Junket to the
Stato university tomorrow, which will In

assembly. Tomorrow being Washington's
birthday, tho members felt Justified In ad
journing and, having been urged by friends
of tho university to visit It In order to
Judgo personally of the needs of thn school,
tho trip to Iowa City Is considered a good
thing with which to fill up thn Interim.
Nearly 100 of the members will tako the
trip, leaving over the Rock Island at 7 n.
m. Thursday and returning to Dps Moinur
tho sumo night. It Is beloved that In splto
of tho trip to tho university the legislature
will feel It necosenry, on account of finances,
to pare tho appropriations asked for by that
Institution. Tho additional support fund
of $50,000 nskrd for will probablv be cu
In bnlf and tho request for specific appro
priations cut In tho same degree If this
Is done It will bo tho result of necessity and

It Is understood thnt the Hnyward bill
providing for eompulwry education In Iowa
will be reported favorably by the senate
commltteo on schools shortly. There nro
two bills before tho senate commltteo. one
by Hayward and one' backed by tho Iowa

the former, which hns resulted In Hay
