Maud Combs, a 16-yenr-old miss of Pa
clflo Junction, became the wife of Dclbert
Huey, 19 years old, a week ago Saturday,
the marriage being performed by a Justice
of tho peace at Qlenwood. Tho parents
of the youthful bride Interposed after ths
ceremony had been performed and tho
honeymoon has been ruthlessly Interrupted.
The young wife Is at tho home of hor
parents, Mr. and Mrs. Perry Combs, at
Pacific Junction, whero, It Is alleged, sho
Is being detained against her will. Appli
cation for a writ of habeas corpus di
rected against her parents was brought
yesterday In the superior court of this city
on behalf of the young woman and the
hearing will be this afternoon by Judge
Aylesworth.
In the application for the writ It Is re
cited that Mrs. Huey, ahortly after the
marriage ceremony had been performed,
was Induced by her mother to return with
her for the sole purpose of stopping over
the night and, relying upon this promise
and with the content of her husband, tho
youthful bride returned with her parent.
Continuing the recital of hor troubles, the
young woman alleges that onco she wat
home she was not permitted to leave again
and that her parents refused to let her
husband visit or even see her.
It Is understood that the parents of tho
young woman Intend tJ tako steps to hava
the marriage anulled, on the grounds that
their daughter It under ago and that a
falsu statement was made at the time the
license was Issued. Tho mother of tho
young man has been arrested, charged with
making a false affidavit as to tho girl's
age, but rn her purt It Is said that If sho
did bo she did It unknowingly, being unable
to read or write. When young Huey went
to sccuro the marriage llcenso he took his
mother with him, he being under age. Mrs.
Huey was requested to sign a statement,
which she did, bellovlng, It Is oald, that
she-was simply signifying her willingness
to the marriage of her son. It Is alleged,
however, that the statement she signed was
as to the youug woman being of age.

Complete returns by the aisessors of tin
entire county as laid before the Board of
Supervisors yesterday afternoon show, In
stead of n falling off, as at first antici
pated, n good Increase In tha taxablo val
uation of Pottawattamie couuty for 1001
as compared with 1899 and 1900. The re
turns of the assessors, Including those for
Council Bluffs and other towns throughout
the county, show n taxable valuation of
$10,878,035. These figures do not Include)
tho railroad valuation, nor that of express,
telegraph nnd telephone companion, which
aro determined by tho state board.
In 1899, when the laBt previous assess
ment of real estate was made, the
total taxable valuation of the county
was $12,835,614, mndo up as follows:
Returned by tho assessors, being 'as
sessment of real estato and personal prop
erty, $9,773,773; railroad valuation, $1,424,
335; added by equalization, $1,637,000. In
1900 tho total taxable valuation of tho
county was $12,053;2S0, na follows: Real es
tate, being tho assessment of the year pre
vious, $8,671,417: personal property, $1,941,
259; railroad valuation, $1,409,497; added
by equalization, $28,077. Tho small amount
added by equalization was duo to the fact
that tho board of rovlew only had to paes
upon tho assessment of personal property
that year.
With the valuation of tbo railroad, ex
press, telephone nnd telegraph companies
and the additions mado by equalization, It
Is expected that the total taxable valuation
of tho county this year will reach between
$13,000,000 nnd $14,000,000.

townships and towns as returned by tho

Will Contest the Method of DrnrrliiK
fir a ml Jury, However.
M. J. Hlgglns was fouund guilty In tho
district court yesterday on tho charge of
sustaining Improper rolatlon with Momlo
Riley, tho young woman with whom It Is
alleged he contracted a bigamous marriage.
The case was given to tho Jury about 3
o'clock yesterday afternoon by Judge
Whoelor and In little over on hour tho
vordlct was reached. The caso has attracted
couslderablo attention and tho court room
was crowded during the closing arguments
of counsol. Hlgglns will appeal ncd In foot
over since his Indictment his attorneys have
been preparing to tako the case up rn a
technical point. When presentod to tho
grand Jury Hlgglns, through his attorneys,
questioned tho legality of tho method of
drawing that body nnd tho right of chal
lrago was exercised. Tho grand Jury for
tho Council Bluffs district court Is drawn
from tho western division of the county,
whllo that for tho Avoca court Is drawn
from tho castorn division. Hlgglns' attor
neys contend that there is nothing In tho
sUtuto providing for such a division of tho
county nnd that the grand Jury should bo
drawn from tho cntlro county. They also
raltod tho samo point as to the drawing of
tho trial Jury. Their objections In both
Instances were overruled by tho court, but
It It a question that has never been iulcd
upon by tho supremo court and there aro
many lawyers who say thot tho point Is
well taken.
In tho event of tho point being sus
tained by tho supreme court It would In
validate tho Indictments returned against
Hlgglns. The gratid Jury also Indicted Hlg
glns on tho charge of bigamy, but County
Attorney Klllpnck will not try that case
at this term of court.
At the closo of tho Hlgglns' trial a Jury
was Impaneled In the caso of the State
against James Rubcrg and Peter Rasmus
sea, owners of the Manhattan salnou.
charged with violating the mulct law by
permitting gambling on their premises. Be
fore tho trial was begun, however, at the
suggestion of thel- counsel, they entrod a
plea of guilty and signified thr willing,
ness to nr.ccpt n line of $300 and this was
agroed to by tho county attorney,
A Jury was then Impaneled In the case
against Alfred Blomberg, charged with
conducting a saloon at Cut-off contrary to
law. The taking of evidence will be begun
this morning.

City Cnnncll Decide .Not to Open Any
of Them.
Attorney Paul Aylesworth, to whom tho
matter was referred, having reported that
tho petitions wero Insufficient, the city
council last night decided to return un
oponed all bids received for tho paving
with vitrified brick of Sixth street from
Broadway to Fifth avenue, Seventh street
irom uroauway to Fifth avenue, First
avenue from Pearl street to Eighth street.
Willow avenue from Seventh street to
Eighth street, Fifth avenuo from Main
street to Eighth street. Tho clerk was In
structed when returning the bids to notify
the bidders of tho reasons for such action
on part of the council.
In his report Attorney Aylesworth, who
was assisted In the Investigation of tho
petition by City Engineer Etnyre, showed
that on the petition for paving of Fifth
avenuo with a total frontago of 2,282
feet, signatures alono of ownors of 120 feet
wero not subject to criticism. On Willow
avenuo sixty-nine feet of the total frontago
of 817 feet appeared to bear the proper
signature of the rightful owners. On Sixth
street the frontage Is 2,449 feet and of this
only C17 feet was correctly represented on
the petition. On First avenue the right
ful owners of 777 feet frontage out of a
total or 2,573 feet had signed the petition,
while the other signatures were open to
question. On Seventh street out ot a
frontage of 2,832 feet the report showed
that tho signatures for all but 365 feet were
subject to more or less criticism.
Action on the resolution last Introduced,
calling for the paving of Tenth avenue,
Third streot, Worth street. Falrvlew
avenue, south half of Park avenue, Third
avenue, Fourth avenue and Vine street, was
deferred until the next meeting. Several
other matters connected' with this batch
of paving were also laid over, Including
a number of protests.
Tho resolution introduced by the Federal
Labor union, providing that eight hours
shall constitute a day's work for all labor
ers omploycd by the city and fixing their
wages at $1.50 n day was adopted.
A petition for tho removal of tho light
towor on Fourth streot and Broadway from
a number of business men on the grounds
that the structure was In a dangerous
condition and a menace to the public
safety, was read, also a prote3t against
Its removal from other business men In
the vicinity, who desired Its retention. City
Electrician Bradley explained tho reasons
why the tower cannot be adequately guyed
so as to Insure Its absolute safety, and ho
recommended that It bo taken down. J.
C. DoIIaven addressed the council In pro
test against Its removal. No action was
taken boyond ordering the petition nnd
protest filed.
Tho contract for tho grading of Avenue
H. awarded to Williams Bros., was re
scinded, as Investigation had developed tho
fact that the resolution providing for the
work had not been tufflclently advertised
to meet the requirements of tho law. The
notice had only been published three times,
whereas the law requires four Insertions.
A petition asking that the building nt
300 West Broadway be condemned was
referred to the eomraltteo on flro and light.

(From a Stuff Correspondent,)
L)ES MOINES, Jun 3. (Special.) Th
flfty-elghth annual communication of the
grand lodge of Iowa, Ancient Free and
Accepted Masons, is tn session at Daven
port, the first business sfsslon to be held
tomorrow morning. Thu holding of the
grand lodge of Masous the same week as
tho annual encampment of the Grand Army
of the Republic will detract somewhat from
both, but the lodge 9esslon will be well
tttended. What Is conspicuous with regard
to the grand lodge meeting this year Is the
absence for the first time In tho history of
the grand lodge of the venerable secretary,
Theodore S. I'arvln, who Is III at his home
In Cedar Rapids and does not expect to
over attend another session of the grand
lodge. For forty-eight yenrs ho has been
a prominent figure at every grand lodge
meeting. Tho report which he makes aa
grand secretary will probably be his last.
From this report It Is learned that there
have been twelve lodges formed tho last
year: Quick, Buffalo Center, Lamonl, Le
high, East Peru, Lisbon, Delta, Roland,
Valley Junction, Dow City, Gllmoro City
and Shurden, Lelghton lodgo of Beacon
has surrendered Its charter during the last
year and Farmers' lodge has removed from
Foots 1o Kinross. During tho year four
lodgo halls have been destroyed by Are,
with a total loss ot all proporty. They are
those nt Buchanan, Arlington, Allerton and
Collins.
A special compllmont Is paid Faithful
lodgo, at Reynolds, upon the record It
has made In rebuilding Its hall for the
third time after being burned out. This,
too, without soliciting the aid of outsldo
sources. The lodges of tho Jurisdiction are
congratulated In that a more pronounced
observance of St. John's day Is noted
and It Is urged that this bo still mor
generally adopted. The croft Is commended
for Us liberality In aiding those who suf
fered by the flood at Galveston and vicinity,
both lodges and members giving largely
to this work of charity, thereby showing
that the spirit ot Masonry exists amons
the members nnd that It Is a privilege nb
well as a duty to old the worthy afflicted
In tho hour of trial and distress. The dep
uty grand master reports visits to n nura
ber ot lodges during the last year and flnd
words of commendation for tho officers
especially the secretaries, for the manner
In which tho records havo been kept. Spe
clal mention Is made of Secretary Rob
Morris of Walker. He, In addition to rou-
tlno work, has prepared a history which
Is unlquo and will be Invaluable. The value
of lodge directories, histories and register
are set forth In considerable detail.
The matter of Insurance was brought
beforo the grand body and In con
clusion tho' grand secretary reminded his
brethren that no organization, howevor
strong, can live In the past alone, that the
present must '-bo utilized and the eyes fixed
upon the fuCure.
lows Homestead Opening.
Applications, will be received at the land
office In Bes .Molnet at 0 o'clock today tor
entry of certain lands to Clay county, Iowa,
now open to" homestead entry. This Is a
tract of land which has been In contro
versy on account of tho claims of the St.
Paul & Sioux City railroad for years and
also because there Is . a question as to
whether It Is swamp land. Some time ago
the register of the land office here sent out
a notice to tho effect that this land would
bo subject to entrv Juno 4, 1901. More re
cently he has sent out a circular letter In
reply to many Inquiries about the land and
In this ho refuses to state whether tho oc
cupants of tho land will have first right to
tho land or whether It will go to the per
sons who get first In line at the land of
flee.
This question, the receiver says, will un
doubtedly come beforo the department as a
contest caso and will then be decided. The
land Is In Lake and Freeman townships, In
Clay county, the two townships In tho
northwest corner ot tho county. It Is all
occupied and Improved. There are 1,438
acres In all. In view of the probability
that no persons can secure the land with
out a contest with tho present occupants
of the land no great rush for entries Ij
oxpected at the land office.
Stucco Trust PnlU to Stick.
Some time ago tho several largo stucco
mills In Webster county, Iowa, wero ap
proached by promoters who desired to pur
chase them and put them Into a gigantic
combine of stucco and cement mills ot the
country. Tbo owners refused to go Into a
trust themselves, but gave options on their
plants entire at high figures. Tho pro
moters of the trust scheme have Just noti
fied the Webster county owners that the
plan for the trust has fallen through. Tho
Iowa' peoplo now declare that they will
nevor again give an option on their prop
orty and will refuse to permit tholr mills
to go Into any combine. The option on
one company will not expire until August
1, but there Is no possibility of It bolng ac
cepted unless all go In. There Is great re
joicing at Fort Dodge over the failure of
the scheme to soil the- companlts to nn
eastern combine, at they are tho most con
spicuous Industry In that part of the state.

Tho state executive council held a spe.
clal meeting this morning nnd took steps
toward ascertaining tho vnlue of lands
In the state nnd tho assessment on real
estate In order that Intelligent action
may bo taken when the council meets next
month as a board of equalization,
Tho secretary of the council will send a
letter to nil the county auditors of low.t
asking for a statement of lands trans
ferred March 1, 1S71, 1881, 1891 nnd 1901.
After considerable discussion It was agreed
that this was the best way of getting at
tbo situation nnd ascertaining how the
values of land had changed and what
changes havo been mado In assessments,
The claim has been strongly made In the
last two years that real estate Is assessed
out ot all proportion to comparison with
railroads. In preparing to act as a board
of equalization this year the council will
get as much Information on the subject
as possible In order that It may bo pos
sible to say whether this Is true or not.
A statement of tho transfers made on n
given day ten years Instead of every year
Is railed for Instead of a statement for
each year, as that would Involve such a
large amount of detail work and tho other
will show what Is desired Just as readily
The aim Is to find out how the value of
land has Increased since 1871 and whether
assessments have Increased proportionately.
There are some who hold that In view
ot the Increase In the value of land the
assessments on real estato havo not risen
out of all proportion to railroad assess
