CONVENTION HAS SLIGHT INTEREST
Olllcors for Another Vrnr Arc I'.looleil
ami the Party Slarts far a

The convention of tho Coal Dealers asso
ciation of Iowa and Nebraska held In this
city yestcrdny was a most unconventional
gathering. Tho Intense heat, coupled with
the fact that tho session was to be cur
tailed In order to permit of tho members
leaving on an excursion to Colorado, pre
cluded tho transaction of any large amount
of business. The dealers did not feci much
like getting down to tho dry routlno of
ordinary convention grind with tho ther
mometer standing close on tho 100 mark.
They preferred to gather In little groups
und talk the situation over among them
selves nnd with the wholesalers, a largo
number of whom wore present. So Ilttlo
Interest was shown In the proceedings that
President Havens experienced considera
ble dlfllculty In securing the attention of
the convention for sulllclent Mints to elect
u set of olllcers for tho ensuing year. Kvon
this was carried out In a perfunctory man
ner. The attendance was tint what had been
anticipated by tho local members nnd
the gathering was made up largely of tho
representatives of the wholesale trade, who
found tho convention an excellent oppor
tunity to get "in touch" with tho retailers.
Tho convention, according to tho orlglnnl
program, was to havo been opened nt 10
o'clock In the largo hall at tho Odd Fel
lows' temple, but It was fully nn hour nftor
that tlmo beforo a move was made from
tho Grand hotel, where hcadQuartcrs had
been established, toward tho, hall. When
President Tom Collins Havens of Omaha
finally called the convention to order thero
wero about 100 members of the association
and somo fifty wholesalers present.
President Havens in addressing the con
vention congratulated tho organization on
Its rapid growth and Impressed tho fact
upon tho members that It was their duty
to endeavor to Increase the membership
by Inducing every retailor within tho two
states to Join It. Ho called attention to
tho fact that It was only tho second year
of tho organization and that nt the first
convention tho membership hnd been less
than 120, while today It numbers clojo on
to 600. After tho usual committees had
been appointed a recess was taken for din
ner. The election of olllcers was held In tho
afternoon and resulted as follows: Presi
dent, Thomas Collins Havens, Omaha;
vice president, F. P. Wright, Council
Bluffs; treasurer, Harry Christie, South
Omaha; cxecutlvo board, E. U. Mlncah,
Ragle Grove, la.; G. T. Field, North
Platte, Neb.; W. It. Webb, Sioux City. A
secretary will be elected by the executive
board.
A number of complaints of wholesalers
Selling direct to prlvato consumers were
filed with tho executive board, but this
question was not discussed In open. The
members found the heat too much for any
discussions or speechmaklng.
It was decided to take the dealers of Min
nesota into tho organization until the latter
bave formed an association of their own. It
was also decided that the president and sec
retary should attend tho meeting to be held
next month at which a national association
will bo organized. They are Instructed to
act with the majority at this meeting.
Nobody being anxious to bring up any
moro business the convention adjourned at
3:30 o'clock. At 4 o'clock tho visiting mem
bers were the guests of the local dealers nt
n banquet at tho Grand hotel. Following the
banquet somo 100 of tho members left on the
special excursion over tho Hock Island for a
six days' Jaunt through Colorado. Those
who registered wero: W. H. Crum, Wllber,

George S. Davis, former treasurer of tho
Independent School district of Council
Bluffs, unless he decides to appeal from tho
ruling of Judge Smith of the dltrrt court,
will have to turn over to W. 1''. Haverstock,
the duly declared elected treasurer of the
district, all the school moneys at present in
IiIb possession. Judge Smith yesterday morn
ing handed down his decision In the null
brought by Haverslnek against Davis, which
was argued before him some tlmo ago.
granting thn peremptory writ of mandamus
as prayed for. Tho writ orders Davis In
forthwith turu over to W. K. Haverstock
all funds and moneys of the Independent
School district of Council Bluffs now In his
possession and control, to-wif.
School house fund $68,03.1.11
Contingent fund 45.12
Teachers' fund 22.)
Total $iW,l0.fi0
In handing down his decision Judgo Smith
hold that tho certificate of election Ihsilod to
W. K. Haverstock was prima facie evidence
of his rWht to the poBJcsslon of tho funds of
tho srhoul district pending the determination
of the quo warranto proceedings instituted
by Davl3 in the superior (ourt.
Davis, it will bo remembered, was the de
feated democratic candidate for school treas
urer at the recent school election. Ho
claimed that he had heen duly elected nnd de
nied tho right ot W. E. Haverstock, the suc
cessful republican candidate, to thn oillco. He
refused to turn over tho school funds to Hav
erstock nnd Instituted quo warranto proceed
ings in the superior court to oust him out of
ofllce. This caso Is still pending.
Davis' attorney state yesterday that no ap
peal would bo taken from Judge Smith's
ruling, as the case in tho superior court
would finally determine tho question as to
who was tho rightful treasurer. In the ovent
of the case resulting favorably to DavU thoro
would be no dlfllculty In his securing posses-
jelon of tho school funds again.
I I'p to last eenlng nr- decree hud been
I Blgtied by Judge Uralth, neither had any or
der been served nn Mr. Davis. Mr. Haver
stock, when seen, sab) that so far D.nls hail
not turned the money over to him, although
he believed ho would do so ome tlmo today.
Haverstock's attorney hao prepared a de
cree for tho court's signature In which Davis
Is ordered to also turn over to Haverstock
"all books of account, papers, receipts, sta
tionery, etc, of every kind and description
belonging and pertaining to tho olllce of
school treiiftuter of said Independent school
dhtrlct of Council BlulTs." To this the at
torney for Davis takes exception anil Judge
Smith will be asked to modify the decree so
far as this paragraph Is cm-erned.
An Interesting fact in tho contention over
the possession of tho school funds is that the
bondsmen of both Davis and Haverstock arc
practically tho samu people.

In tho matter of the High srhoil site. The

Others believe this would bo oply a wnste

the state superintendent was called upon to
adjudicate and that while ho might hesl

one else ho Is too liberal minded to have
iny fruples about overruling his own de
cision. Tho members who are opposed to appeal
ing tho case are in favor of selecting an
other slto with tho hopes of being able to
commence work on tho erection of the build
ing this summer. Whether the selection of
another slto will relievo the situation re

cedes Is much needed, nro slim In tho ex

tho matter is not settled by August 1 ho will

are weary of tho controversy and would wel

Cooper, as ho stated at tho meeting Monday
night last, Is In favor now of locating tho
school on the grounds nt Glen avenuo Just
east of tho present High school. Ho says ho
will not voto for nny other slto except this.

In nn open and unused well It Is supposed
that ho committed suicide.

becoming anxious, sent ono of his hoys to

and upon approaching the well was surprieed
to sco the holy of his father In tho water,
tho head being beneath the surface and tho

and help was summoned, but when the body
was removed life was extinct.

that tho honor fell to such u popular man as

Lieutenant flovernor J. C. Mllllman of Iown,
who, accompanied by Mm. Mllllman and bin
eon, Elmer, passed through Omaha yesterday
on his way to Colorado Springs,
"Tho withdrawal of Dolliver from the vicn
presidential racn saved tho Tontb Iowa con
gressional district from a congressional fight
that would probably havo heen one of tho
bitterest over held In Iowa. Thcro wero

, who were seeking Dolllver's placo in

twenty-four hours until thoro would havo
been a dozen men in tho race," Mr. Mllll
man explained. "Thomas II. Healy, itato
cenatnr, of Fort Dodge, would have been a
prominent candidate and It Is not at nil un-
likely that Governor Shaw might have been
drawn Into tho fight. Ho bus friends who
nro anxious lo seo him have a place In
Washington and 1 have no douht that ho
would have been urged to make tho race for

"Senator lloaly was Iho leader of the In- j
sitrgents in the Iown senate last winter and
was one of the mrst outspoken Cummins
nun during the long fight between John II
Gear and A. B. Cummins for the I'nlted t

tho republicans."
Lieutenant Governor Mllllmnn spent the I
early part of the week In Des Moines nnd Is !
familiar with tho contest that Is now going
on for the state olllces to be filled In Iowa
this fall. The most Interest editors around
tho fight for state treasurer and secretary
of state. C. A. Gllbcrtson of Forest City
and W. W. Morrow of Afton nro tho only
two candidates for state treasurer. Both of
these men announced themselves as candi
dates during the session ot the leglslatuie
nnd have kept up a lively fight since that
time. W. W. Morrow is backed by the.
southern part of tho state, commonly called
tho "Q" riBcrvatlon on account of tho Inilu
once tho Burlington road exerts In that por
tion of the state, nnd Is popularly considered
tho Gear candidate. Gllbertson is supported
by northern Iowa and has a largo following
nmong tho Cummins faction in tho party.
"It Is genernlly conceded that Morrow and
Gllbertson will be the only candidates for
tho trcasuryshlp und tho double-headed fight
Is in a very uncertain condition. Friends
of both the candidates nro confident of vic
tory and the situation sccmB to bo practl
cnlly what It was three months ago," said
Mr. Mllllmnn. "But the race for secretary
of Btato Is undetgolng moro changes and has
not settled down sulltelently to enable any
one to forecHst the result. A. C. Hobart of
Cherokee, member of tho state senate; Cnp
tnln Redman of Montezumn and half a dozen
other candidates are making a lively cam
