HAVE YOU ANY OF THESE
Irniptnms of Very Common Trouble f
Thoro In no disease so common In the
United Statea as catarrh becauso It appears
In so many forms and attacks so many
different organs.
It Is a common mistake to supnoeo that
catarrh Is confined to the nose and throat.
Any Inflammation of tho mucous merabrano
.wherever located accompanied by abnormal
secretions, Is catarrh. Catarrh of stomach
or bladder, or Intestines Is nearly as com.
won as nasal catarrh and much more serious
although It la truo that stomach catarrh and
catarrh of other Internal organs Is the result
of neglected nasal catarrh.
A new rcmody has recently appeared
which so far ne tested seems to be remarka
bly effective In promptly curing catarrh,
wherever located. The preparation is sold
by druggists generally under the name of
Stuart's Catarrh Tabids, and In addition
to being very palatablo and convenient, pos
sesses extraordinary merit, In many cases
giving Immediate relief from tho coughing,
hawking and constant clearing of the throat
end head, those symptoms with which every
ono Is familiar who has ever Buffered from
colds In tho head and throat.
Catarrh Is simply a continuation of these
ymptoras until the trouble becomes chronic
and grows gradually worse from year to
year.
Stuart's Catarrh Tablets are compo3tl of
Hydraatln, Kuralyptol, Ouslacol and similar
antiseptic and catarrh specifics, from which
It will be seen that no secret Is made of tin
Ingredients and also that no mineral poisons
re used, as Is the rase with many well
known catarrh medicines.
For catarrh of tbo noae, throat, bronchial
tubes, for catarrh of stomach, Intestines or
bladder no preparation Is so safe and gives
luch rapid and permanent results as Stuart's
Catarrh Tablets,
All druggists sell them at 50c for full sized
package. You can use them with araurance
thai you will not contract tho cocaine nr
morphine bablt as tho results from this
catarrh cure are apparent from the first
lay'a use.

SMITH IS NOT YET CONTENT
Court'i Rifusal to Enjoin Bowman ii Held
to Bo Ambiguous.
PLAINTIFF TO APPEAL TO SUPREME COURT
In VIkit of Smith's Action (he Council
Will Prol.nlilr Defer Letting nt
Electric Light Contract Until
Case Is Settled.
Forrest Smith, tho Intervenor In the In
junction suit of Ervln Dryer of Chicago,
gainst the city of Council Bluffs to re
strain It from entering Into an electric
lighting contract with Thomas Bowman, Is
not satisfied with the ruling of Judge Thor
nell handed down In district court last Sat
urday. Ilia attorneys yesterday served no
tice of appeal to the supreme court upon
City Solicitor Wadsworth and the attorneys
representing Thomas Bowman.
One of the attorneys for the plaintiff
said that the ruling of Judge Thornell was
unsatisfactory. Inasmuch It did not definitely
decide nny of the points In controversy. He
sbiq several constructions might be placed
upon the ruling. It might be construed to
hold that no contract, provisional or other
wise, that the city council might enter into
with Bowman could be valid or binding
upon either parties until nowmitn had an.
cured a franchise. Again. It mleht he an
construed as to mean that no contract,
whother conditional or not on Bowman ie-
curing a franchise would be valla or bind
ing on either party, after Bowman had ob
tained such franchise.
Tho plaintiff is also anxious to hAv.i thn
question of whether the city has the au
thority to enter into a contract for a Innirrr
period than ono year determined by the
courts, -mat the city has not this right Is
the main contention on which Intervenor
Smith bases bis caso.
Legacy for .Vcvr Council.
In view of tho appeal taken by Smith It
Is not likely that tho city council wilt take
nny action In the matter of entering Into
tne contract with Bowman. It la believed
that tbo whole matter will bo now left as
n legacy to tho Incoming council to wrestle
with. It is Bald that In view of the fact
that sovcral of tho aldermen are candidates
for re-election they aro not anxious to
tackle the question at this critical time.
Mayor Jennings, when asked yesterday.
said he had not been requested to call tho
council together to tako any action In the
matter and as far as ho knew the present
council would not do anything, further. He
believed that It was tho intention of the
present body to leave the whole matter as
a legacy to the Incoming council to settle.

titvr School Members Are Installed
and Organisation Is Effected.
The Board of Education last night, after
the newly elected members. B. M. Sargent
and Dr. Don Macrae; Jr., bad been Inducted
to the scats vacated by President Sims and
Member William Moore, organized by
unanimously selecting S. P. Henry, one ot
the four republican directors, to preside
over its deliberations for the ensuing year.
President Henry at once named the fol
lowing committees;
Teachers and Rules Hess and Swalne.
Finances and Accounts Cooper and Sar
gent.
Janitors and Supplies Swalne and Hess.
Text Books, Course of Study and Printing
Stewart and Macrae.
Fuol and Heating Macrae and Stewart.
Buildings and Grounds Sargent and
Cooper.
The only business transacted by the new
board wns to fix the bond ot the newly
elected treasurer, W. E. Haverstock, at
1150,000 and to authorize tbo purchase ot
sixty seats for tho High school fram the
American School Supply company of Chi
cago at $2.16 each, when an adjournment
was taken to next Monday night.
President Sims took up the matter of
Wlckham's bill for the grading ot the Oak
land avenue site, which had been referred
to him. He said the only report ho could
mako was to refer the board to the minutes
of the meeting at which he was directed to
enter Into the contract with Wlckham pro
vided the title to tho property was perfect.
This title, he said, had been on examina
tion found to be perfect and Wlckham had
been notified to go ahead with tbo grading,
which he did. The report was resolved, but
the board failed to tako action as to pay
ment of tho claim.
On motion ot Stewart It was decided to
pay the clerks and Judges of the school
election $3 each, this being the amount
heretofore allowed.
Member Hess brought up the matter ot
tho estimate for next year and moved to
correct It by increasing the amount lu the
contingent fund to $25 and In the teachers'
from $50,000 to $65,000. Stewart opposed
making any alteration In tho estimate,
claiming that It ought to be left to the new
board to attend to. He said be did not
believe In throttling the new board, but on
being put to the vote Hess' motion pre
vailed, Stewart, Cooper and Moore voting
against It.
The vote cast at tbo recent election was
then canvassed, with the result that th
figures are the same as already published.
The official count Is as follows:
For School Directors Sargent, republican,
1,578; Shugart, republican, 1,427; Macrae,
democrat, 1,540; Kaln, demosrut, 1,354.
For School Treasurer Haverstock, re
publican, 1,470; Davis, democrat, 1,468.
Sargcut and Macrae were declared elected
directors and Haverstosk treasurer. Presi
dent Sims then administered tho oath ot
office to Sargent and Macrae and they were
conducted to the seats vacated by Sims and
Moore, the retiring members.
Tho meeting of the old board then ad
journed sine die and a recess ot a few min
utes was taken before the now board con
vened. I)n vis Will Contest Election.
It Is understood that George S. Davis will
contest the election of W. E. Haverstock as
school treasurer. Attorney Chambers was
present at the meeting of the school board
last night and watched tho canvass ot the
vote. Several Irregularities were found In
the returns. In the Fourth precinct the
Judges and clerks failed to certify to the
vote and It is claimed by Chambers that this
will throw out tho entire vote of this pre
cinct. If this Is done it will give Davis a
majority ot 79 over Haverstock. In the
Third preelnct thcro Is no record of tbe oath
of office having been administered to the
JudgPK and tula It Is claimed by Davis' at
torney Is sufficient to Invalidate the vote In
this precinct. If this Is the case It will give
Davis a further majority.
Federal Court In Session.
The term of federal court will be con
vened at 10 o'clock this morning by Judge
Shlras when the grand Jury wilt be Impan
eled. The present indications are that the
term will be a light one. One of the first
matters to come before the court will be
the Ingram bankruptcy case. United Stntcs
Marshal George M. Christian of Grinnell,
United States Prosecuting Attorney Lewis
Miles of Corydon and his assistant, Gcorgo
B. Stewart of Fort Madison, together with
a number of attorneys from tho eastern part
of the stato arrived In the city last evening.
Miss Grace Woolson, datightor of the lata
Judgo Woolson, Judge Shtras' private sten
ographer, also arrived last evening.
Two petitions In bankruptcy wero filed in
tho United States district court yesterday.
Charles F. Patterson, a laborer of Clnrlndn,
has liabilities amounting to $1,320.23 and as
an offset assets worth J50, which he claims
as exempt.
Thomas J. MoflHt, a farmer of Vllllsca, has
debts amounting to $7,278.05, but his assets
only aggregato $30 and all of this he claims
as exempt.
PKTEIISO.VS SI' IT is" DISMISSED.
Opposition Secures Temporary In
junction and Block (Innie.
Tho suit brought In the name ot Slack
Peterson, a resident of tho Fourth ward,
to restrain the Board of Education from
selecting or paying for the Oakland site-,
rb dismissed In tho district court late
yteterday evening. This unexpected action
on tho part of Peterson came ns a complete
surprise to Attorney Fllcklnger, who had
conducted the case tip to date, Peterson
merely being a figurehead.
Late ns the hour was the attorney was
not to be outwitted and liastlly drawing up
an amendment to tho petition ho rushed to
Judge Smith's resldonco and secured a
temporary injunction restraining tho board
u, uuy mcuiuer lueicui ur mu ui-usuici
frmn selecting tbo Oakland site or even
voting tor It or directing tho purchaso of
It. This order was served on the board Just
after It had convened.
Tho amendment filed Is as follows:
Comes now T. H. Smith. W. H. Kimball,
W. W, Loomls and numerous other?, tax
payers of the city of Council Bluffs, here
tofore associated with the ntnlntlff In the
i abovo entitled action and having a Joint and
1 several interest therein and for nn amend
ment to their petition and to tho various
amendments heretofore Med allege that thn
defendants nro about to mako a iiurchaso of
the Oakland avenue site and to defy tho de
cision of tho state superintendent against
It and to cause the purchase price thereof
to bo paid Immediately In order to commit
thn district thereto.
That by fraud and collusion they have ob
tained a pretended dismissal of the suit by
one Slack Peterson, who was merely a nom
inal party plaintiff and associated with your
fietltloners and others In tho obtaining of
ho relief prayed herein and that he has no
control over said action, nor any right or
authority to dismiss tho same.
Wherefore, toy reaHon of tho premises,
your petitioners pray a temporary writ ot
injunction to Issue against the defendants
and each one ot them and tho treasurer of
said district, enjoining them from In any
way or manner selecting or voting for the
Oakland avenue site or paying therefor and
that on final hearing said Injunction bo
made perpetual.
Attorney Fllcklnger in explanation of his
action said: "Slack Peterson being merely a
nominal plaintiff to the milt had no right or
authority to dismiss tbo action without the
I consent of every party interested. This dis
missal was secured by fraud and collusion.
The petition filed since and on which Judge
Smith has granted a temporary restraining
order is simply an amendment to the orig
inal petition which was filed In the name ot
Slack Peterson and 'other Interested tax
payers too numerous to mention.' Tho suit Is
still In court despite tho pretended dismissal
by Peterson.
"Our haste In securing tho fresh Injunc
tion was due to the fact thaM had been ad
vised from what I considered a reliable
source that the board bad not only planned
to select tho Oakland avenue site at this
meeting but to also have a warrant drawn
for tho purchase price and arrangements
had been mads for tho school treasurer to
at once cash this warrant. It was to tore
stall this that we secured this new Injunc
tion." DEAF MUTE IlUN DOWN BY A TltAl.V.

COLLATERAL INHERITANCE TAX LAW BILL
Scnntc PnsseN Illll In Morning Session
Prohibiting Solicitation of
Liquor Snlcs in Prohibi
tion Counties.
DES MOINES, March 10. (Special Tele
gram.) Working sessions of the legislature
wcro held today, No measures ot great Im
portance wero taken up on account ot tho
limited attendance, but tbo calendar was
cleaned of a number of accumulated bills.
Tomorrow tho Cheshlro amendment for
the taxation ot telegraph companies comes
up In tho senate as a special and that, to
gether with a similar bill pertaining to
telephone companies, Is expected to con
sume the greater portion of the week in that
body.
Tho houso has several special orders, In
cluding the measure to legalize mulct peti
tions In forco In tho state before October 1,
1897, which will be taken up tomorrow,
luhrrltnM'ce Tnx I. si v.
One of tho most Important bills ot the
session waB Introduced today by the chair
man ot tho ways and means committee in
tho upper body. It provides a number ot
important changes In tbo collateral In
heritance ,tax law of the state In line
with recommendations made by tbe state
treasurer In his recent biennial report. Ono
ot tho most Important changes contemplated
Is the provision by which In tbe future col
lateral estates held by border residents of
thn state may not escape taxation by the
depositing of moneys or credits or personal
property of nny kind over the state line, as
In tbe recent Weaver case of Council Bluffs.
Other provisions aro designed to afford
relief In tho assessment 'of the tax to pro
vide a definite method for apportioning debts
against foreign estates, and certain changes
relating to compromise settlements where
tho estato Is so contused or In such a condi
tion as to render the determination ot tho
Inheritance tax uncertain. It Is believed the
bill will pass without much, If any, opposi
tion, and that It will render tho enforce
ment of tho Inheritance tax law much more
satisfactory In tho future.
The senate was the only body to hold a
morning session. At that tlmo It passed a
bill prohibiting tho solicitation of liquor
sales In prohibition counties, another pro
viding that notice may be served on the
agent as well as tho land owner to remove
obstructions in tho public highways, and
restoring tho old law by which tho secre
tary of thq State Board of Health drew $o0
per month compensation for sitting as a
member ot tho Board ot Medical Examiners.
Tho houso bill providing that loans may
be made on life Insurance policies as soon
as Issued, instead of after the policy has
been In forco three years, was discussed,
but allowed to go over until a larger at
tendance of senators was had.
Because of the small attendance a bill by
Trcwln, relating to the reports ot state of
ficers, -was lost. The vote stood 20 yeas and
14 nays, and a motion was filed to recon
sider. The measure Is Important In that It
provides for uniform annual reports of all
state officers and 'commissions in the futuro
to the executive council, and the publica
tion thereof by tbe council. An amendment
was' adopted to make tke publication ot
theso reports subject to competitive bids.
It Is believed the measure will pass on re
consideration. An important bill was Introduced by re
quest by Senator Porter providing that here
after notes, mortgages, etc.. shall be non
entorceablo unless bearing the assessor's
stamp for taxation. Junkln Introduced one
to require monthly reports, Instead of quar
terly, of tho Stato Pharmacy Commissions! a
and providing that all fees of this depart
ment shall be paid into the treasury and ex
penses and salaries ot tho office bo paid out
an warrants. Heretofore the commissioners
have withheld expense money from tbe fees.
Barrett of Woodbury introduced a bill re
linquishing to the Unltod States government
tho state's tltlo to one acre ot ground upon
which Sergeant Charles Floyd Is burled near
Sioux City and In whose memory the gov
ernment has made an appropriation provided
it secures title to the grave.
Afternoon Sesalana.
Doth houses hold afternoon sessions. The
senate passed three important bills. One
has already passed the house, giving the
secretary of the State Board ot Educational
Examiners, or someono appointed by tho
board, the authority to hold examinations
without the presence of any member ot the
board.
Anothor provides that city councils sit
ting as boards of review shall receive their
pay from counties Instead of cities, as at
present, to avoid alleged double taxation.
The third gives the stato dairy commis
sioner authority to hire a deputy at $1,000
annually, who Is to look after the local of
fice, and three assistants at $1,000 per year
each and traveling expenses to look after the
dairy Interests throughout tho Etate under
supervision of the commissioner,
The house passed two bills, one providing
that holders of national bank stock may not
offset their Indebtedness against the assess
ment ot taxes against bank stocks or shares,
and another requiring the returns of build
ing and lean associations to tho assessor and
county auditor to bo made January 15 Instead
of February 15.
A hill was Introduced In the house provid
ing tor supervision by tho slato of all schools
of special instruction for teachers.
The house also tabled the reconsideration
of tho Harrlman bill for tho establishment
of a state department ot agriculture, which
has paused both houses and Is ready for tbe
governor's signature. The house adopted
committee reports this afternoon Indefinitely
postponing twonty-four bills.

AGUINAL00 HAS NO CHANCE
Bishop Potter Says lie Wns So In
formed by Friends of Itclicl
Chieftain.
iNEW YORK, March 19. Bishop Potter,
who has Just returned from a five months'
tour, which included visits to the Philip
pines, Japan and India, talked today regard
ing his Impressions. The trip was mado
at tho Instance of the committee on In
creased responsibilities of the Protestant
EplHcopal church. He was most Interested,,
he said, in tho condition of affairs In China
and Japan, He noticed a gradual friend
liness 'between tho two nations and prophe
sied that when Japan has taught the Chinese
the art of war, neither England, Russia
nor Germany wilt decide tho fato of tho
east. The Chinese do not Iovo the Japanese,
but, recognizing that tbey have nothing
to hopo from tbo other nations, are gladly
establishing an entento cordlalo with tbo
Japanese,
Referring to the Phlllpplno situation,
Bishop 'Potter said he went to the Islands
In tbe attitude of antagonism. He declined
to say It his opinions bad altered, but said
ho recognized the question as a purely
academic one.
"Whatever wo might have done," he said,
"a year or more back, there Is but one thing
for us to do now and that is to hold on to
the Islands and assumo the responsibility
for tho future. The military administration
of the Islands Is beyond praise. One thing
! evident, and that Is that the Filipinos are
In no condition tor self-government. If a
civil government wero lmpceed, It would re
quire a largo military forco to maintain It.
"Several friends of Agulnaldo," continued
the bishop, "called on mo In Hong Kong
and they told me that they were satisfied
that there could be no success for his under
taking. The better claw of Filipinos aro
satisfied that American occupation means
Increased prosperity and aro not raising any
objections."
Bishop Potter told of a visit ho made to
a factory In Manila where about 450 boys
and girls were spinning cotton. Tbo over
peer said tbey bad learned to work tho looms
In about six weeks, whereas Irish and Scotch
children took as many months before they
were of any service. The natives seemed
to take kindly to tho confinement of factory
life, but thsy objected to tho orders against
smoking in the factories.
Asked about tbe future of the Anglican
church in the Islands, Bishop Potter said
he saw no reason -why It should not be suc
cessfully Introduced to tho natives. He had
found, he said, no evidence of any pagau
religion. Tho Roman Catholic religion was
pretty generally observed and as education
spreads the tents of the Anglican church
will receive general acceptance. Much of
tho good order existing and the many mani
festations of good will to tbo Americans
Bishop Potter attributes to the high moral
character of the American soldiery.
