Charles McClelland, living at Uroadway
nnd Nineteenth street, went across tho
river to Omaha yesterday morning and re
turned with a watch worth at wholesale
about 2 a dozen, for which ho hud paid
19 of his hard-earned money. He realized
ho had been up against a bunco garao
nnd complained to Chief of Police Albro,
who suggosted that he tell his troubles to
tho authorities In Omaha.
McClelland was lured by tho siren volco
of tho man back of tho counter In one of
tho "auction" shops on Douglas streot. It
took but very little persuasion to Induco
him to part with $9 for a "gold-filled" time
piece. Thu auctioneer, before turning over
the watch to McClelland insisted on mak
ing out a bill of sale for tho nrtlclo. Whtlo
this was being made In a little back room, n
man rushed In nnd wanted to borrow $20
on a $75 watch. Tho auctioneer told tho
upposed stranger that his concern would
.not commence lending monoy until the
first of the new year, but suggested that
perhaps McClelland might accommodato
him. Tho upshot of It was that McClelland
wus Induced to trade tho watch ho had
purchased and give $10 to boot for tho
alleged $7& timepiece. Ho did this on tho
whispered suggestion of the auctioneer that
if ho got tho watch he would buy It back
from him for $25. When McClelland of
fered to hand over thq watch in return for
$25 tho auctioneer declined to accept unless
McClelland could glvo him a written
guaranty, signed by some responsible cltl
2on, that tho timepiece had not been stolen.

POOR FARM PROPOSITION WINS
Voters Seem to Havo Decided to Authortee

CANVASSING THE ELECTION RETURNS
Tvvrnt j-Thii I'rcclncM Completed,
Midi .No Cliuiiur In the Uvai.lt
an A I rend (ilvrn tint III
the 1'upcrs.
The rrsult of the official canvass, ns far
as It has proceeded, by the Hoard of County
Supervisors of the vote cast at the gen
eral election last Tuesday shows that tho
poor farm proposition has undoubtedly car
ried by a safe majority. .
When the supervisors adjourned yes
terday afternoon for the day they had
completed the canvass of the returns from
twenty-two of tho country precincts. The
voto In thces townships was 2,559 for the
proposition and 1.S1S against It. a majority
of 711 in favor of n poor farm. The five
townships not canvassed are Valley, Wash
ington, Waveland, Wright nnd York and
the supervisors estimate thm ih
these will bring the majority In favor of
tne proposition up to 1,000.
There was somo opposition to the propo
sition In tho city on tho part of the friends
of St. llernard's hospital on the ground that
this Institution would loso Its county pat
ronage In tho ovent of tho establishment
of a pcor farm. It Is believed, however,
that tho proposition carried In tho city.
Under tho proposition voted on the
county board Is restricted to an expendi
ture of not exceeding $20,000 for the pur
chase of tho necessary land and erection
of sultnble buildings for the poor farm.
To meet this expense tho board under tho
proposition Is authorized to levy n tnx in
an amount not to exceed 1 mill on tho dol
lar each year for tho two years next suc
ceeding tho vote on tho proposition.
Much Interest Is naturally aroused In tho
location of the poor farm nnd the genernl
opinion In Council Illurfs Is that It should
bo In tho vicinity of this city, ns the
peoplo of Council muffs pay by for tho
greater part of tho taxes and tho majority
of tho county poor come from here. Any
attempt on tho part of the supervisors to
locato tho farm In the eaBtcrn part of tho
county, It Is said, would certaluly be re
sisted, The canvass so far also shows that tho
Titus amendment to the state constitution
providing for biennial elections has a ma
jority of closo upon 1,000 votes In Its favor.
Tho romalnlng precincts to bo canvassed,
It Is believed, will largely lncreaso thoso
figures. Tho returns of tho twenty-two
precincts canvassed give 1,959 votes for the
proposition for tho holding of a conven
tion to revise the constitution and 2,144
agnln3t it. Advices from Dcs Moines Indi
cate, howovor, that this proposition car
ried along with tho Titus amendment, It
being supposed that tho voters generally
understood that the two went together.
There is no nocd for such a convention
at this time, but tho law requires that
such a proposition shall be submitted every
ton years. Whether such n convention
will bo held will be determined at tho
next session of the legislature.
Tho canvass, as far as It has proceeded,
show no material changes from tho figures
already published. In Hazel Dell precinct
the voto cast for Ingram for member of
the Uoard of County Supervisors was 126
and not 136, as returned by tho Judges on
tho cover of tho poll book. The board ex
pects to completo the canvass by noon
today.

Aside from the reports of Mrs. Dalley,
the librarian, on the recent annual meet
ing of the Iowa Library association nt
Slcux City, which sho attended ns a dele
gate from this city, there was only routine
business to engage tho attention of tho
library trustees at their meeting yesterday
afternoon.
In her report Mrs. Dalley said: "A summing-up
of the whole meeting would tend
to show that library work In this state has
ouly begun, that it is universally looked
to for the uplifting of the community, that
every effort is being made whorcby the
interest nnd help of children may be en
listed, that tho tendency to open shelves
Is rapidly Increasing, that tho system of
rented books Is meeting with genernl ap
proval and Is highly recommended, that
the librarian while not dictating tho read
ing of tho public generally has many op
portunities to recommend n better class of
literature."
Tho plan of renting extra copies of pop
ular works to patrons of tho library has
I proven such a success that the book com-
mittco reported thnt it had been obliged
to purchase a number of new books for
this purpose. The books originally pur
chased under this system havo already paid
for themselves.
Tho librarian's report for October glvc3

iters. C.77tt; number of visitors on Sun
days, 163; number of booktakcrs registered,

Lloyd W. Prouty filed yesterday In tho
district court n petition of Intervention in
tho Officer & Pusey receivership, In which
he sets up tho claim that several pieces
of Nebraska land listed among tho assets
of the banking Arm nro Ills property In
fact, after a balance duo by him for bor
rowed money Is paid to thu bank. Ho
asks the court to establish an ornl con
tract, which he says existed between him
and Officer & Pusey, nnd that n finding
of the amount still .duo by htm to the bank
bu made.
The petition sets up that Prouty, trom
1S91 to 1896, borrowed various sums of
money from Officer & Pusey, securing
them by his personal nolo. Most of this
money woe spent In tho purchaso and Im
provement of Nebraska land. In Juno,
1806, Prouty executed mortgages to tho
firm upon lands in Cedar nnd Pierce coun
ties, Nebraska. When the llrst mortgage
was foreclosed in 1897 Prouty made, he
claims, an oral contract with tho Arm by
which most of this land wns bought In at
sheriff's salo in the name of Thomas Offi
cer and was held by him as trubteo for tho
bank and for him (Prouty), the agreement
being that portions of tho land should bo
sold oft and the proceeds applied upon his
Indebtedness to the bank until it would bo
cleared off.

told them plainly that they wero paying
too much nttentlon to outside affairs and
not enough to their church affairs. For
exomple, he cited tho fact that last winter
tho association resolved Itself Into numer
ous committees for numerous purposes.
Among them were prizefighting legislation,
temperance, city council, municipal police,
etc. Ho hold that the minister Is not ro
quired by tho law of ethics or anything
elso to attend to all of these things for
the people and ho gave the assembled min
isters somo hot shots.

that General Byers wll allow, another

but this he says' wlll'llepcnrt upon whether
Des Moines will build an armory. If the

General Bycrs is emphatically of the
opinion that Des Moines Is not in. lino for

Is less Interest shown here In military

that In every other way Interest here is at

South Omaha News .
Last night the city council mado an at
tempt to auction off $70,000 In funding
bonds, but little if anything was mado by
tho procedure. It will be romombered
that when the Issue was first decided upon
Frank J. Morlarty offered tho city a pre
mium of $700 for tho bonds nnd this tendor
was accepted hy the finance committee,
A few days after this became known thero
was n great howl about tho low premium
and It was rumqred that there was boodlo
In tho deal. Upon learning this Mr. Morl
arty promptly withdrew his offer stating
that If thy city could secure a larger pre
mium than ho could afford to pay he
would bo glad to see It do so,
Whon, nt tho meeting last night it
como to tho bond proposition Johnson of
fered a resolution providing that each bl(U
dor on the bonds should deposit with the
city clerk a certified check for $1,000, or
cash in the eamo amount, the city uot
to pay for or bo liable for any legal opinion
ns to the legality of tho bonds. Further
that tho $1,000 deposited with the city clerk
bo forfeited to tho city In caso tho purchaser
refusod to accept the bonds. This wns
adopted and tho bond brokers present wlthi
drow for a conference. About 10:30 o clock
they camo straggling In after somo hesita
tion tho necessary certified checks woro
deposited. W. H. Hannan of Council Bluffs
camo Into tho game, so did W. A. Barnett,
who represented a Toledo firm nnd G. W
Hoogler. Mayor Kelly, who occupied tho cbalr,
called for bids and Hoogler started the
show by offering $100. This bid was raised
by degrees until a premium of $740 wns
reached, tho last bid being mado by tho
same person who made the first. Hannan
of tho Bluffs, who had mado so much talk
dropped out when tho bids reached $700 und
declined to bid further. Tho light thon
lay between Hooglor and Barnett and by
small raises the total reached $740. After
tho bonds had been declared sold John
Dalo who had been hanging around tho
outskirts all the evening showed up and
Intimated that If there was another auction
ho, or somo of his friends might bid moro
and after tho solo had virtually been con
sumatcd tho council took It all back and
decided to hold nnotber auction Thursday
night. In tho mean time, tho Interest on
tho coupons overdue is eating up tbo pre
mium as fast as a toller In a bank can count
out monoy. Take It altogether the bidding
was n farce, as tho brokers withdrew from
the council meeting and, It Is reported held
a little session of their own on tho out
sldo nnd reachod an agreement. After the
bidding was over last night and the re
consideration taken by the council It was
openly asserted that at tho next chance
the bidding would not be nearly so high.

MKADVILLK, Pa . Nov 12 (Special ) -The
Loyalty of tho Members of thn
Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers Is
proverbial. A circumstance occurred In
this city Homo days ago, which emphasizes
this feeling.
Frnnk J. Zaller Is chief of tho Brother
hood of locomotive Kuglnccrs No. 143. He
Is extremely popular among his fellow rail
way men, and ono of tho best known engi
neers running out of Moudvllle. Whon tho
announcement was mado a short tlmo ugo
that Frank wns pretty sick It caused a
great deal of regret among the boys. Soon
ho was mlstud from his engine, having had
to "Iny off" on account of his back. A
brother of tho Brotherhood of Locomotive
Kngliieern, who had been 111 with similar
symptoms, some tlmo before, anil who IihiI
been pulled through, called to sen Mr
Zeller, and In a brotherly way, took him
n box of Dodd's Kidney-Pills, tho Kemedy
which hnd cured him. lie advised Mr
Zeller to try them, with the result that
after seven boxes had been used, ho wns
entirely well, and nblo to work.
In an Interview Mr. Zeller states
"I had suffered for four years with this
nfnictlcn, being often kept awake at night
with pains, nnd nt times tumble to work.
I tried several of thu advertised remedies.
nnd found thnt they did me no earthly good.
Finally, a member of our order, who had
been cured of Kidney Dlsenso by Dodd's
Kidney Pills brought me n box and asked
mo to try them. I hail little faith In them,
but ns a drowning man groups at a straw
to help him, co I took tho Pills, I used
seven boxes nnd nm today ns well and
strong n mnn as there Is In Pennsylvania."
Naturally. Mr. .oiler feels very grateful.
and IiIh complete recovery Imh delighted
his many friends, and none morn than the
good brother, who feels thnt ho wos In
strumental lu saving tho life of the chief.
