sidered It was ono of tho county attorney's
duties to ferret out nil tho slot machines
In exlstenco In the city and nt once pro
ceed to enforco their owners to tako them

suggested tho county attorney ehould forth
with Issue:
To Whom It May Concern: The under

Leaving a copy of the manifesto with Mr.
Kimball, tho committee, stated It would call

tho county attorney at home. County At
torney Kllpatrlck arrived homo In the af
ternoon and waited until 6 o'clock In his
ofllco, hut tbo commlttco did not put In an
appearance. Speaking on tho demands of tho
"reform" committee, Mr. Kllpatrlck suld:
"This committee, or at least Borne of Its
members, seem to havo a mistaken Idea as to
tho duties of a county attorney. It Is not
tho duty of n county attorney to fllo Infor
mations in such enses. This Is open to any
person to do and when Informations are
filed this office is ready to attend to tho
prosocutlon. 1 havo no Intention of acting
In tho doublo capacity of prosecuting wit
ness and prosecuting attorney. I nm and
havo always been ready to proseciito cases
when Informations have been filed. I havo
no Intention to Issue uny manifesto ns to
tho slot machines, as tho committee evidently
desires I should. It Is not pnrt of tho
uttes of this ofllco to Issuo manifestos. If
Mr. McCabo and his associates Intend to
attempt Impeachment proceedings against
mo to compel mo to obey their dictation
thoy cannot co.nmenco them any too soon
to suit mo. I know what tho duties ofmy
fftco nre. and stand ready to perform them.
All this bluster and talk will not Induce mo
to act otherwise."

Tho annual meeting of tho South Omaha
Commercial club was held In the council
chamber with over halt of the members
present..
President Flynn occupied tho ohalr nnd
Jack Watktns filled the office of secretary.
It wiui doctded to purchase a copy of tho
printed voliwno of "Tho Commercial Bodies
of tho United States" In order that data
relating to South Omaha might bo Inserted.
Noxt In order camo reports of committees
nnd tho committee on telegraph nnd telo
phono failed to report on account of tho
absenco of Mr. Christie, tho chairman. In
connection with tho franchise asked for by a
foreign company several members mado r
mnrks. Mr. Dnrrctt said that he failed to see
whero South Omaha would derive nny spe
cial benefit from a toll stntlon established at
tho exchange, as proposed. Ho thought that
tho council ought to Insist that at least four
toll stations bo located cast of tho tracks tt
tho franchise wns granted.
A. 11. Murdock thought another lino hero
would bo of material advantage to tho city.
Jim nulla said that he favored competition
with proper restrictions, but ho wants tho

of way tho samo as tho gas company. Philip
Kraus of Albright nssertcd that two tele
phones wero a nuisance and ho did not be
llovo In complicating matters. Tho present
servlco Is, he said, good enough for him.
Richard O'Keeffo was willing to ndmlt a
competing company, but he wants the city
to dcrlvo somo be no fit financially, and this
tho ordinance before the council docs not
provldo for. At tho conclusion of the talks
tho matter was referred to tho proper com
mlttco with instructions to confer with tbo
city council and see that the Interests of th
city wero properly taken care of as regards
n bonus.
Next came tbo street car question and
thero wns n long talk by serernl members.
It was the general opinion that there must
bo a crosstown lino', and to this end at
torneys wore solected to sco that tho charter
provisions were complied with. Jack Walt
ers told his experience with the officers of
tho Oraahn company and ho assertel that If
It was shown t,bat tnopcoplo of South Omaha
mean business there will be little difficulty
In securing hotter, servlco. A crosstown
lino will bo demanded and arrangements
wero mado for tie-procuring ot tbo samo.
President Fiynn"r6ad his annual report,
which was full1 of rajat for thoughtful por
sona. It contained 'in' brief tho work of the
club during tho last year. Ho said that
there was good reasons for being satisfied
with tho work, because a great deal had boon
accomplished nnd more work of tho samo
nature wns now In hand. He said that agita
tion was the basis of tho work. In con
clusion he paid n neat tribute to tho news

Moines. Council Illuffs and Keokuk. The 01 lno stal mul" law' BUlla "v
bill has been introduced at tho instnnco of two locuI hrowcrs will bo prosecuted on tho
the neonlo of Creston. who for n long tlmo KTounrt that no petition of consent has ever
hnvB hnpii wnrwimr t hnvn ihu now .Uvi.inn . been obtained to manufncturo
created. Now that Creston Is nsaurcd of a
new federal building, which Is to coflt up
ward of $50,000, It Is doubly anxious that
federal court for tho southern district should
bo held there.
Tho bill, as It has been reported from
tho Judiciary committee ot the house, pro
vides that the following counties shall com
prise th new division: Lucas, Clark, Union,
Adair, Adams, Fremont, Page, Tnylor, Ring-
gold, Decatur, Wayno and Appanoose. The
original bill also Included Montgomery
county, but this was strlckon out in com
mittee, supposedly at the Instigation of
Congressman Mcl'herson, What Mr. Mc
Phcrr'on'fl own prlvato opinions nro as to
tho expediency of tho bill aro not known
here, but ho la well awnro of tho fact that
tho members of tbo bar of this county
aro opposed to It. It Is for this reason
that ha suggested that a meeting of tho
bar tissoclatlon bo called and some action
taken, The belief Is here that when the
bill comes up for passage Congressman Mc
l'herson will opposo It.
Tho creation of this new division, It Is
said, will Incur no additional expense to
the government, as tho people of Creston
havo guaranteed to provldo rooms for tho
cqurt freo of cost. It will, however, neces
sitate the clerks ot both tbo circuit and dis
trict courts of the southern district employ
ing deputies at Creston to look after tho
business thero of the new division.
The members of the bar of this county
say thero U no need for thus furtbor dl-
to manufncturo In this
county. Tho brewers claim to havo been
glvon the necessary consent by 'tho city
council a few weeks ago. Two saloon men
of Iowa City, ono each In tho ndjolnlng vll
lago of Oxford and Solon, havo nlso been
Borvcd with notices of Injunction suits.

Mrs. Minnie l'lcdler, of ilt Pleasant,
Iowa, says !
" I was alUictetl for years with St.
Vitus' dance. The first symptoms of the
disease began in 1S89, when the nerves
began twitching in my left hand. I con
sulted physicians of this city, but none
of them ever did tne particle of good.
After I hnd suffered for two and one hnlf
years, the disease continuing to grow
worse, I heard of Dr. Williams' rink.
Pills for Pale People.
" It was in 1891 that I was induced to
try them, nnd I wns surprised at my
rapid improvement. I took only two
boxes, and was entirely cured. It wns
hard to realize that I, who for over two
years wns scarcely able to walk, and who
often found it almost impossible to talk,
should be restored to perfect health and
in full possession of nil of my powers by
two boxes of this wonderful remedy.
"Iain happy to state that my health
is still perfect and I have never had the
slightest symptoms of n return of the
disease, although it is eight years since
I was cured. "

FIVE DAYS' TRIAL TREATMENT
Sent Absolutely Free by Sealed Mail To All Sufferers.
NO C. 0. D. OR DEPOSIT SCHEME.
The only preparation known to science which really
cures Lost Manhood is "CALTHOS," the marvelous
French remedy discovered by Prof. Jules Laborde. It !i
controlled in this country by The Von Molil Company, of
Cincinnati, Ohio, a concern which occupies a high und
honorable place in the world of medicine. It Is one of the
largest and most responsible houses in Cincinnati, as
anyone who is acquainted in that city will testify.
The Von Mohl Company Invites nit men suffering
from Lost Manhood, Spermatorrhoea, Varicocele, Small
Parts or Weakness of nny nature In the Nerves or Sexual
Organs, to send their names and receive a five days' treat
ment. This will prove the wonderful vitalizing powers
of "CALTHOS." After usitiK it five days the sufferers
will find new vigor in their organs, new force In their
muscles, new blood in their veins, new ambition, and
rapid progress toward the buoyant feelings aud sensa
tlons of younger days.
This liberal free offer Is genuine. There ts no swind
ling CO. D. or Deposit Scheme connected with It. The five
days' treatment is sent by sealed mail to all on request,
wrapped in n plain package, and full printed Instructions
accompany the medicine, so thnt each patient become
his own doctor aud cures himself at home.
It doesn't make any difference what caused the weslc
ness -whether bad habits in youth, or excess, or over
work, or business troubles. "CALTHOS" will effect a
cure, no matter what big name the disease may be called
by doctors.
The Von Mohl Company treats all correspondence in
perfect confidence. Under no conditions wilt It make
fiublic the names of the thousands who have written tc
iraoulals telling of their restoration to robust manhood
after other medicines and appliances have proved worth
less. "CALTHOS" is regularly used In the l'rencu and
German armies, and the soldiers In those countries have
come to be perfect models of strength and vitality. Cures
are effected at all ages from twenty to eighty years. There
Is no case (except where the stage of epilepsy or Insanity

the mental and physical anguish.
