I'lnniiclcr During: the
Lust (iciieriitlini,
Thomas Ofllier. senior member of the
old established private banking firm of

Thomas Omcur was born In Washington.

Keberca. was the wife of Neal (1. Maine,
a brother of James, fl Maine, nnd other
surviving members of the family nro Mrs.
W. H. M. Pusey and Robert Officer. They
all reside In Council Muds.
In IS40 Mr. Oftlcer graduated from Wash
ington i Pa.) college and went at once to
Columbus, O , where he became Instructor
In Ihe Ohio State Institution for tho Deaf.
He remained there llvo .wars when he was
called to Jacksonville, 111 , where he or
ganised. I.ild out the grounds and built tho
Illinois State School for the Deaf. Ho re
mained al the Jacksonville school as prin
cipal and superintendent for ten years.
At the end of that time he resigned his
position and came to Council Muffs. In
H.'f. h formed his present partnership
with W. IT. M. Pusey, who had been In tho
banking business In Jacksonville. In tho
same yeur they purchased the ground at
the rorner of llroadway nnd Main streets
and In the following sprlnic commenced
their banking business In the building In
which It is today conducted. They passed
through successfully the panics of 1SU7.
1S71 and 1S73. being the only one of
seventeen financial Institutions In Council
Muffs In weather the panic of 1S07.
.Mr. Olllcer was married August 8, ISIS, to
Miss Elizabeth M. Pusey. a sister of the
man who later became his partner In tho
banking business. Mr. and Mrs ninnm.
have been leading members of tho ITrst

lng been a ruling elder of It from tho start.
mt. unieer never took an active part In
politics, but held various nosltfons nf trtiut
at different times. He served n turm as
member of Ihe city council from 1S6I to
isoj anil wuh at one time a. member and
president of the Hoard of Education. Ills
personal experlenco and promlnenco In
connection with Instltull ons fnv Dm .tn.f
In other otntos were Important factors In
securing tne location of the Iowa School
for the Deaf In this city and lie was ap
pointed commissioner with Hon. Caleb
Ilaldwln and Oeneral (. M. Dodge, to
relect a site, purchase the Grounds, decide
upon plans and erect tho buildings for
that Institution, all of which was dono un
der their mannirement. ll ntt,r,n.i.

Contrnetor WlcUlinni (ieltliiu- AIiiiik
with Ills llln .lob lliu.lill,.
The paving of North Main nlrnnt I. al
most completed, it being expected that tho
worn on uio portion north of tho bridge
connecting with Washington avenuo will bo
Ilnlshed tonight or tomorrow at the latest.
As soon as tho new curbing on llroad
way, between Twelfth and Thirteenth street,
settles, which will take a few days. Con
tractor Wlckham Intends to commence lay
ing brick there. This contract calls for
flalesburg brick on a concreto base. Next
Monday Contractor Wlckham expects to
commence laying the sewer on (Iraham
avenue, the contract for which was
awarded nearly three Tears ano. but tho
carrying out of which was postponed at the
rcuiieat of tun abutting property owners
with the consent of the city council.
Owing to the failure In bringing tho
Saguln Injunction rase to a trial at the
present term Contractor Wlckham Is undo
clded wbother to continue with the paving
or not. Ho will endeavor to secure waiv
ers from the property owners on tho streets
ordered paved and If successful will do tho
pavlus, but If he Is not there Is a question
whether ho would be Justified In running
tho risk of doing the work and then have
the certificates attacked, In the event of
Saguln finally being Bticcccsful In his suit
It might Induce other property owners to
question the validity of tho certificates and
almost endless Mtlgatlon might ensuo be
fore Wlckham would succeed in securing his
pay for the work.
Discussing the matter yesterday after
noon Contractor Wlckham said that he would
be guided by the advice of his attorneys,
who nre now looking up the question. He
did not wish to be understood as saying
that no moro paving would be dono this
year, ns there were several streets ordered
Improved on which the property owners
would not be likely to raise any objections.

II. J. Saline, and Miss Annie Turk, a
young couple from Creuton. la., enjoyed the
unusual experience yesterday In this city
of being married twice In the samo day

wants known and they were shortly mado
man and wife by Mr. Venting. When the
groom produced tho license for the at
tachment of the necessary signatures Hov.
Venting discovered that It had been Issued
In Creston. Tho ceremony had been per
formed and the young couple were legally
man and wife, but still they were subject
each t? a line of $50 for Rotting married
out of the county In which tho license was
Issued.
Tho young couple when they learned
their mistake were anxious to return nt
onco to Creston nnd have the knot tied
there. Ilev. Venting suggested that they
procure another marriage license from
County Clerk Heed. He accompanied tho
couple to the court house, where nnolher
llccaia was procura and than that there
should be no question about tho legality of
the marriage Hov Venting lined the young
couple up before him again and for the
soroud time went through the ceremony
pronouncing them man nnd wife. Mr. nnd
Mrs. Saline returned to Croston on an aft
ernoon train, evidently realizing that they
were well married.

If the people of this country voted to sus

FORT DODGE, la., Sept. 12. (Special. )
An Important experiment was completed
hero today which will probably result In the
re-equipment of every cnglno on the Illinois
Central railroad system with the Tnllraage
system for tho care of locomotive boilers
and for tho prevention of scales on Hues
and shoots. With the present system used
It is necessary to clean out engine boilers
after a maximum run of 600 miles, tho for
mation of scales on the Inside of the boiler
nnd flues making this Imperative. The ex
pense nnd labor of doing this Is consid
erable. The Tnllmage system prevents to n large
extent the formation of scales and has In
addition an appliance for ejecting tho scales
that do form. With this system engines
can run 6.000 and 7,000 miles without being
cleaned. The system has been placed on
two of tho Contrnl engines, Nns, 443 nnd
604, running on the Omnha division.
They havo run the allotted 7,000 miles
nnd an examination wns made here today
to test the result. It was conducted by
Superintendent of Machinery Renshaw of
Chicago. Tho boilers were found to be in
excellent condition nnd the experiment was
regarded as eminently successful. The re
port of tho superintendent of machinery
will undoubtedly result In tho wholesale
equipping of engines on the entire Central
system with tho new appliances.

wants to back out of Its agreement. When
It first attempted to do so Powell brought
an Injunction suit against tho body to pre
vent It from interfering with him In car
rying out his contract. Later he dismissed
this suit. Later the board decided to lg
noro him nnd his work and Instructed the
county treasurer not to nttempt to collect
any luxes on tho property reported by
Powell. Powell Is now up In arms and de
clares he will force the county lo fulfill Its
contract. A bitter contest Is In prospect.

route that Is to be opened up by the Post
ofllce department In a tdiort time.
"Tho farmers of Iowa and Nebraska have
taken to the plan with enthusiasm." he
said. "In Nebraska there arc fifty differ
ent routes nnd while there are not yet that
many In Iowa the department has snmethlnp;
like 300 applications for the establishment
of routes for that many different communi
ties, One thins thnt Is quite noticeable In
connection with the rural system Is its ef
fect upon the circulation of dally pnpers.
Without such a plan of delivery the farmer
cannot afford to take a dolly paper. He
cannot make the postofllce every day nnd
connequontly the copies of a dally paper
would accumulate lu his box. Rut with the
coming of the rural mall carrier thousands
of farmers who have contented themsolves
