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.

to Logan, whoro ho spoko last night. 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.
Injunction AKfilimt Hock Island.
Mrs. Anna Ehlcrs and others, the widow
and heirs of Henry Ehlcrs, secured In tho
district court yestorday a temporary In
junction restraining tho Chicago, Bock
Island & Pacific railroad from closing a
large culvert under ,lts tracks near the
old Chautauqua grounds.
The Ehlors claim that tho culvert was
built for the purpose of providing thetn
Ingress and egress to and from their farm
and that It had been used by them as such
for the last twonty years and morn.
They assert that the railroad company
was about to fill up the culvert and close It
without providing them any other crossing
whereby they can reach their land. The
culvert In question Is known as bridge No.

ASKS COURT FOR INSTRUCTION
C'lmrlri T. Officer Wnnts to Know
Wtml to Do Alioiil MlulMH
Shnrc.
Charles T. 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.

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.

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.
