FRIDAY NIGHT, OCTOBER 25, THE DAY Will Arrltc After Add res In llmlnn nml n ItnnsltiK ftrcriitlnn In rinnnril Mrrrlott Also I'nj City n Visit. Hon. A. B. Cummins, republican candi date for governor, will speak In Council Bluffs Friday night, October 215. This dato was agreed upon by Mr. Cummins and Chairman Wright of tho republican county central committee yesterday morning be fore Mr. Cummins left here for Olenwood, where ho spoke yesterday afternoon. Mr. Cummins Is booked to speak at Har lan the afternoon of Friday, October 25, and will come to Council Bluffs from thoro directly after 'the meeting;. Saturday morning following ho will go to Atlantic, Cass county, where ho will speak In the aftcrroon, and thence will go to his home In Dcs Moines. Mr. Cummins had but two dates open In which ho could spenk In this county. They were Friday, October 23, or Saturday, Oc tober 26. At first It was suggested that he speak hore the Saturday night after tho meeting at Atlantic nnd Chairman Wright ngree.l to provide a special train to bring Mr. Cummins hero from the Cass county town In order to get him to Council Bluffs In tlmo for nn evening meeting. This wns practically decided upon, but later Mr. Cummins desired to change tho date to Friday, as ho wished to spend Sunday at his home In Dcs Moines and ns ho could more conveniently reach here from Harlan than ho could from Atlantic. As soon as It was definitely arranged Jhat Mr. Cummins, would speak hore on Friday. October 25, Mr. Wright made the neces sary nrrangements to secure Dohany opera house, where tho meeting will be held. That Mr. Cummins will be able to speak In Council Bluffs Is a source of much grati fication to his many friends and repub licans of I'ottnwuttamlo' county. It had been thought almost Impossible to get him here, owing to the numerous demands for speeches by him In all parts of the state. Mr. Cummins, according to present plnns, will close his campaign the night before election In Des Moines, where he will de liver several short addresses In various partB of the city. Unity of tho I'nrty. Before his denarturo for Olenwood yes-. 1 tcrday morning a number of tho leading I republicans of the city called upon Mr. Cummins nt his apartments In tho Grand hotel. In discussing his campaign Mr. j Cummins said he expected to carry the state by 75.000 to 80,000. He said: "The! pcople as a rule throughout tho state nre paying seemingly little attention to politics this fall, nlthough the meetings I have spoken at have been well attendcdc.nnd I feel sure that tho full party vote will be polled. In P.olk county, my frlendi are wagering that my majority will be 10,000. 1 have been cordially received nil over the stato where I have spoken. So far 1 have I been speaking In the counties which befer the Cedar Rapids convention were not -min.C(l amone mv stinnorters. but 1 have i" , J m I . . ,i ., ... "cuu wu', iuobihuccui ik?puuuj wi whore and It' looks to me as Jf the party had hardly a break In its ranks thU -fall." Next week Mr. Cummins -will go Into tho Eleventh district In northwestern Iowa and then Into tho Second and First districts In the eastern part of tho state nnd will work back Into tho western part. Ilerrlutt Alno In the City. Hon.

From there ho will go to Woodbine, and-hopes to return to Council Bluffs Thursday' to attend tho meeting, at which Colonel D. B. Henderson will speak. Up to yesterday Mr. Herrlott said he had made but one campaign speech, hut ho expected to mako several before tho election. Indications are that Colonol Henderson will be given a rousing reception hero Thursday night and that the seating capacity of the opera house will bo taxed to its limit. Advices received by Chairman Wright of the county central commlttoo from tho precinct chairmen nre to the ef fect that almost every township In the county will be represented at tho meeting by large delegations. If ho Is In the city on that day It is expected Hon. John N. Baldwin will preside. The veterans of tho' civil war are ar ranging to turn, out to greet their disting uished comrade,- and Wal McFaddcn and his drum corps will es'cort Colonel Hen derson on tho night of the meeting from the Orand hotel to the opera house.

OITlrer, as administrator of tho estate of his fatlier, Thomas Oflicer, filed a petition In tho district court Monday asking for certain Instructions as to (ho coutso ho should pursue In connection with the PerVey-Chester Consolidated Mlnlnu company shares, In which form tho r.ist valuable part of tho estate. The tHc to he pursued by tho administrator will !.- ef considerable Importance to the creditors of tho Oftleer & 1'usey bank, who nre now looking to the Oflicer tstato to pay a peti tion of their claims. The estate owns 3,3511 of tho 3,522 slinres of stock issued by tho mining company. Of these 862 shares are held by Thomas Officer as collateral to secure loans made to S. E. and J. T. Hart, nnd tho shares stand In the name of S. E. Hart. The estate of Thomas Officer also holds a first mortgage on all the raining property, both personal and real, of tho company. The claims comprising the property of tho I'crsey-Chcfetor company liave been leased for three years under royalty con tracts nnd the leasees now desire an ex tension of the leases to five years, In order that they may properly proceed with tho development of tho mines. Tho ndmlnta tiator points out that the oxtennlon of the lenses would secure the full development of the property without cxponsc to tho citato or the company nnd If a further develop ment should show Increased quantities nnd values of the ore, the property could be sold for a much httter figure than now. On the other hand, If the mortgage "was foreclosed nnd the tltlo to the property ncqulred hy tho estate. It would hnvc to dispose of It In Its present condition or Invest money In tho development of the mlne. The administrator therefore wants nn order of court to Instruct him what to do under the clroumstnnccs. I'rtlt Jury for .o eniher Trim.

(From a StntT Correspondent.) J DES MOINKS. Oct. 15. (Special. )-X long-drawn-out controversy over the right of Des Moines saloons to exist under the mulct law was disposed of In tho district court today, Jungo Bishop upholding the position taken hyjttae saloon men In every particular. Tho law provides that state ments of consent shall bo canvassed only by a certain number In n year and In a certain way. The Antl-snloon league un dertook to show that a larger number of petitions than allowed by law were rnn vnssed and therefore the one secured last was not valid. The court held that the first petitions wero withdrawn nnd not can vassed. The court nlso held thnt the peti tions cannot be attacked on the ground that Irresponsible persons circulated them and witnessed tho signatures, but thnt tho signatures show for themselves. Tho de cision covers a great many questions which have been unsettled In Iowa courts and n cause of contention has made this a tost caeo to determine tho rights of tho rartles In the state. Ki'lio ii f an Did Frntiil. An echo of the famous C. L. Lund case from Kossuth county appeared tn the su preme court of Iowa today tn a decision In the case of Blnckmnn ngatnst Henderson, Involving foreclosure of a mortgage. Lund wns supposod to be rich. He was a land owner and loan agent nt Algona. He ran for railroad commlsnloner on the demo cratic tlckot. It was discovered bo had given mortgages or procured mortgages that were fraudulent nnd an Investigation was ntartod. Officers wont out to his place to arrest him and notified him of tho ac cusations. Ho slipped away from them and In a few minutes was dead, hy his own hand. II was disclosed afterward that he had secured $123,000 on fraudulent mortgages. Ono of these, held by a Chi cago man, had been made out on land actually owned by Lund, but In tho name of a fictitious person and Lund afterward sold tho. land. Tho court held thnt tho mort gage was good as between Lund and the mortgagor, but as It could not legally he filed It was not notice to othor persons. But tho men who purchased tho land of Lund did not prove they wero bona fldo purchasers and innocent, so that tho holder of tho mortgage Is ablo to forecloso oh the land. It Is only one of many cases growing out of the Lund frauds. Court Decision. The following aro the decisions in the supreme court filed today: John R.
