These badges adorned the coats of many
of the thirsty men from the Nebraska side
of the river who spent Sunday in Council

most any kind,
The first badge was printed on white
paper and was worn by the incoming dele
gation. Some enterprising Ulutnle took
pity on the visitors and soon trotted out
the other badge, printed on buff colored
ribbon.
The crowd was an orderly one and,
though tho guests visited the saloons fre
quently, securing entrance by the side
doors, thero wero no arrests for Intoxica
tion during the day. The police commented
n the orderly manner in which the visitors
otiducted themselves. The storm of course

Fourteen persons were received Into tho
First Congregational church at tho May
communion service yesterday. Twelve of
these came on confession of faith and the
others with letters from other Congrega
tional churahes. The pastor, Rev. J. W.
Wilson, preached a sermon especially ad
dressed to the new members. He showed
?" lDe""" l, '"".noil- me uepenus u.
f work of God in transforming the char
that the secret of the. holy life depends on
actcr nnd bringing out the beauties of tho .
soul. This is a gradual work, lasting from t
the beginning to the end of life. He men-
Honed three secrets of this growth: Spirit
communion with God, a definite consecra
tion to God and His service: the consistent
life.
illss Cora Schwartz, a member of the
choir of the Kountzo Memorial church In
Omaha, sang a solo, "God Be Merciful,"
which was greatly enjoyed.
Miss Helen Galloway, who has been In
tbo missionary work in west China, spoko
in the Broadway Methodist church yester
day morning. Her field of labor was nearly
2,000 miles up the Vang Tso Klang river
from Shanghai, so that sho was far removed
from the scenes of the recent disturbances.
With al' the other missionaries she was or
dered out of the country last July. She
told of the work she has been engaged In,
the principal effort being to found Chris
tian homes by educating the girls In the
boarding school and seeing that they were
married to deserving men graduated from
the boys' boarding schools, This work
proved successful. A collection for the
Woman's noard of Foreign Missions was
taken after the address.
Next Sunday is to be observed as anni
versary Sunday by the Broadway Methodist
church and tho members arc planning for
a largo celebration. The festivities will
begin with a family gathering of the church
Friday evening In the church parlors. There
will be a program and refreshments. At
that time the members are expected to re
turn the envelopes which were sent out re
cently. Sunday will have several special
services, ihough tho program Is not yet
completed.' Rev. Dr. Hirst, pastor of tho
First Methodist church of Omaha, will
preach at the afternoon service and an ef
fort Is being made to have one ot the church
blBhops present during the day.
A musical service composed of selections
from the works ot the late Sir John Stainor,

n Prlxoiipr's Letter.
Mamie Gibson was 'arrested In Council
Bluffs yesterday morning and taken to
Omaha to answer for the theft of a gold
watch and chain and a black silk waist
from the Paxton hotel. Her presence In the
city was revealed by a letter from her
found In the pocket of E. W. Cook, arrested
on, a charge of being drunk ami a vagrant.
Cook, who Is known to the police under
several aliases, will probably be held for
disposing of stolen property, as he bad
pawned the watch.
Mamie Gibson was a chambermaid In the
Paxton hotel at the time when she admits
she stole the Jewelry and waist, She then
made her home in this city. She had had
some dealings with Cook In Grand Island,
Neb., where he went under the name of J.
V. Wilson. A letter thus addressed to Wil
son, with a return card on the envelope
bearing the girl's address at the Paxton
hotel, caught the attention ot DetcctlvcJ
Savage, Dunn and Donahue of Omaha, who
recognized the name as the cue connected
with the Paxton hotel theft.
In Cook's pocket was also found the pawn securing additional ground for a rifle
ticket for the watch. Tho waist and the",,. None .of these things have been
chain wero In the possession of the Gibton
women, who, when arrested by Chief Albro,
was willing to return to Omaha with th
officers.

Tho police consider that the city es
caped luckily Saturday nt the hands of the
gang of pickpockets and general thieves
following the circus In town. Fifteen of
the gang were rounded up In a sideshow
and "told where they were at." It Is be
lieved that tho storm, which lasted most
of the night, prevented any attempt at
house-working. E, W. Cook, alias J. W.
Wilson, alias "Kid" Cook of Denver, who
was arrested on a charge of drunkenness
and will probably be held In connection
with the disposal of the watch alleged to
have been stolen by Mamie Gibson, is said
to have been one of the show gang. The
police have the Information that Cook's
wife Is one of the performers in the circus
and that he has been waiting hero a week
to Join the gang. The police give him a
bad record. Detective Ed Smith arrested
him in a saloon early Sunday morning.

DES MOINES. Ia.. May C (Special.)
Reports from all sections of Iowa the last
week Indicate that it has been a gocd
crop week throughout the state. The latter
Part of tho week there were much-needed
rains over nearly all the state, the hot
weatber and strong winds Having made tne
ground very dry. Trees have thrown out
leaves much quicker this year than usual
nd fruit is in excellent condition. The
muddy roads of ten days ago have been
dried up and farm operations have been
going on freely the last week. Seeding
of corn Is already In progress In most of
the counties of the state and other crops
are largely In the ground.
Forjtcil otc In I'onnil
It has been discovered slnco tho sensa
lonal (light of Thomas Ward, vice presi
dent of the Lcmars National bank, that
n addition to having robbed tho bank of
thousands of dollars to bo spent in gam
bling and wild speculation there was left
n the bank a forged note for 1,000 against
J. J. Tlerney, a prominent resident of
riymllth county. Tlerney says the note
s a forgery, and this is borne out by the
fact that, although It was due March 13, be
was not notified to pay It. Whether the
forgery was by Ward or someone else Is
not known. Nothing has teen heard of
Ward since ho left Lemars.
Deielnp the Oil Field.
A company has been formed with an au

to demonstrate what can be done. The
company Is known as the Clay County Oil
and Mineral company, and as soon as $50,

will elect officers and employ experts to
sink wells and make a thorough examina

Supreme TrlliunHl to Ilevlesv
III Opinion.
DES MOINES, May 6. (Special.) Des
Moines people are on the point of giving
up hope of over having an army post lo
cated here and completed. There has been
more or less opposition In army circles to
the establishment of a new army post in
thl3 part of the country and a disposition
on tho part of nrmy rfflclals to hold Des
Moines to tho exact performance of every
obligation assumed and every promise
made. Tho deed for the army post was
transferred to the government some time
ago. Several other things remained un
done, such as building a railroad extension
to the site, building an electric street car
line to tho site, the extension of water
mains and providing drainage, and also
done as yet, and no work Is being done on
the site of the nrmy post by the govern
ment. A committee has been appointed
to go to Washington and induce SecreUrj
Root to modify the conditions, and Min
ister Conger has been asked to act on tho
committee, but he has not the time to do
so. Congressman Hun, wno has the great
est influence witn tne war department, is
now In the Philippines and will not re
turn until near the close ot the political
campaign. So all thought of having any
work done on the array post this year bas
been abandoned, and there Is a good pros
pect for entire abandonment of the project
and transfer of the land back to the orig
inal owners.
Court liriiiirri Fcilcrnl I.nvr.
Judge Oliver of Harrison county has
taken a firm stand in opposition to the fed
eral statute which provides that no paper
or legal Instrument upon which a revenue
stamp Is required shall be admitted In any
court as evidence If it bas not been prop
erly stamped. He has decided that this
statuto Is unconstitutional and not binding
on Iowa courts and has admitted to evi
dence before him In a Woodbury county
case papers which were not legally stamped.
He takes the ground that the United
States has no authority over state courts
and cannot direct what they shall or shall
not consider competent evidence, and that
the state courts are free from the obliga
tions thus imposed. Judge Oliver is the
first Iowa Judge to take this view of the
case and his opinion will bo reviewed by
the supreme court.
Tn inn Imllnna Are Dlssntlsfleil.
United States Commissioner Jones of the
Indian ofllco has Just paid an official visit
to Tama county, Iowa, where the Sac and
Fox Indians own a large farm and live In
tribal relations. He Is reported to have
been disappointed at the evidence of the
backwardness of these Indians and the ex
tent to which the mutinous movement to
resist to the end the authority ot the In
dlan office prevails among the 100 Indians
there. They refuse to acknowledge the
supremacy of the Indian office nnd stub
bornly decline to accept their annuities un
til a settlement is made of certain old
claims which have been pending many
years, A much larger proportion of the
tribe than supposed is in this attitude of
rebellion, and tho problem of how to deal
with them Is therefore a much harder one
than the commissioner had anticipated. The
schools provided for the Indians by the
government have not been a success and
there is no improvement in tho situation.
Pcimlnnn to Home InnintcN.
The largest payment of pensions to resi
dents of the Iowa Soldiers' home ever made
at one time was the last week, when they
received the sum of 15,190.91. The January
payment to them amounted to $11,773. Of
the sum received the last week $3,661.73
was sent by the inmates of the home to
dependent relatives and tho remainder was
credited to the pensioners,

that some speculators aro buying American
