Federal Grand Jury Coiclndes Ita Work and
Rotnrni No Indictment.
ONLY TWO CASES BROUGHT BEFORE IT
Civil Docket Coatalaa Little Baslaess
and Two Days Mill Wlad 1
the Business of the
Terns. With the opening of the September term
of United States court yesterday morning
the federal grand Jury convened and ad
journed without returning a single indict
ment. This is said to establish a new
record In the history of the federal court
In Council Bluffs. But two cases were
presented by Qeorgs B. Miles, United States
prosecuting attorney, the Jury Ignoring both.
In one case Mrs. Annie Lemkle, wife of a
farmer living near Grlswold, was charged
with the improper use of the malls. In the
other case I P. Fisher of Red Oak was
charged with concealing property in bank
ruptcy proceedings. It being alleged that
he concealed the fact that he had a fifth
Interest in certain property in which his
mother bad a life aetata.
In the Intervention suit of W. H. Wil
tons; in the receivership of the Omaha ft
St. Louis railroad the plaintiff ai given a
judgment for $850, Interest and costs.
The afternoon session was taken up by
the arguments in the suit of the city of
Davenport against William Russell Allen
and other property owners. In this suit
tha city of Davenport sought to recover
from the defendants about $20,000, the cost
of paving In front of their property. The
state court had held that the assessment
for the cost of the Improvement was null
and void, as the contract between the city
and the contractor who laid the paving
constituted an indebtedness of the city
beyond tha constitutional limit. In the
contract the city of Davenport specifically
agreed to pay for tha improving instead
of providing that the cost of the work
would be paid by special assessment against
the abutting property. The city of Daven
port then brought suit to recover the cost
of the work and the defendant property
owners, several of whom are non-residents,
secured a transfer of the case to the fed
eral court. Tha casa waa brought here
from the Keokuk division. Judge McPh ar
son took tha case under advisement.
The hearing on the application of the
Iowa Telephone company of Des Moines for
an injunction against tha striking employe!
will not be had here, as previously ar
ranged. Tha hearing haa been postponed
to October 16 in Dea Moines. With this
case out of tha way it Is expected that the
business of tha term will be completed to
day, making tha lightest term of federal
court In this city on record. .
As the term of court at Creston occurs
on tha third Tuesday la October, the same
date as in Keokuk, Judgo McPherson an
nounced that the Creston term would be
adjourned to November 6.
Clerk Mason of the United States circuit
court and other federal officials returned

A DOCTOR'S EXPERIENCE.

ence has proven to him that to some
systems coffee is sn insidious poison that
undermines the health.
Ask the doctor It coffee is the cause of
constipation, stomach and nervous troubles.
"I have been a coffee drinker all my
life. I am now 42 years old , and when
taken sick two years ago with nervous
prostration, my doctor said that my ner

I would have to give up coffee.- I got so

any of It. He said, 'Yes,' and that he

claimed to be.

Postum steadily and found tn about two
weeks' time I could sleep soundly st night
and get up In the morning feeling fresh and
well. In about two months, I began to gain
flesh. I only weighed 146 pounds when I
commenced on Postum and now I weigh
167 and feel better than I did at 20 years of

Anti-Saloon League Meeting.
DEMOCRATIC COMMITTEE WAKING UP
Plan of Campaign Is to Conine Effort
Largely to the Clrcnlatlon of
I.ltrratare Arcose Agent
of Frand.
(From a Staff Correspondent.)
DES MOINES, Sept. 16. (Special.) The
Anti-Saloon league met here today, the at
tendance being about twenty-five all told,
much smaller than usual. L. S. Coffin of
Fort Dodge, presided. The secretary, Rev.
Mott Sawyers of Centervllle was not pres
ent. The feature of the meeting was a lec
ture by Rev. Father Lenlhan of Dubuque
on temperance, and this Is the first time
there has ever been any affiliation of the
Catholic clergy with Protestants In tem
perance work In the state. The report of
Rev. H. C. Marshall of Sioux City on
the work of enforcement during the year
was read. Mr. Marshall reported tbat his
work had consisted largely of educational
work. He recommended that the state be
divided Into eight or ten districts and
a superintendent be named for each one
to have charge of the work of enforcement.
He also urged more agitation and educa
tion, that the league adopt a better sys
tem of financing It; that law enforcement
should become more general, etc. In clos
ing he announced positively that he would
not accept the re-election for an
other year. That he had col
lected for his work $1,120.52, and had
expended $277.04. ' During1 the year a mulct
petition had been obtained on one county
and in five counties had been freed from
mulct petitions. A report was also made
on the work of collecting funde for a lobby
ist at Washington to secure federal legis
lation in regard to liquor traffic across
state borders.
The Anti-Saloon league re-elected officers
and selected H. H. Abrams of Iowa City as
superintendent in place of Marshall re
signed. Democratic Committee Meets.
The democratic state committee has at
last made a move toward a state campaign
and at a meeting held this afternoon de
cided upon the opening of headquarters
at an early date and carrying on of a state
campaign. The committee was organized at
the time of the state convention by the
election of A. E. Jackson of Tama as chair
man to succeed S. P. McConnell of Bloom
field. It is probable that Jackson, who Is
an anti-silver democrat, will have charge
of the headquarters most of the time. A
majority of tbe members of the committee
were present today. The literary work of
the committee will be confined almost ex
clusively to the circulation of speeches of
iue lending twuuiuai.es for congress, espe
cially those of Boise and Wade. Some at
tention also will be given the campaigns for
Craig and Reese in the First and Sixth dis
tricts. The committee members .from the
eastern districts of the state are confident
of great gaina for the democratic party this

Iowa Crop Balletia.
The weekly crop bulletin for Iowa, Is
sued by Director Sage today for the week
endtng September 15, does not indicate that
corn sustained damage by reason of the
recent frosts and what damage was suffered
was confined to lowlands. The report fol
lows: Tbe past week was one of tbe coldest on
record for the first half of September. The
average dally deficiency waa about seven
degrees. The rainfall was very light and
widely scattered. Tbe conditions were fa
vorable for threshing, plowing and general
farm operations. Frosts were reported at
all stations on the morning of the 12th and
13th, with temperature below freezing
In tbe northern districts. It was generally
killing to tender vegetation in exposed lo
calities. Reports indicate that corn in the
northern halt of. ths state, altuated on flat
or lowland, suffered considerable damage,
but the full extent of injury cannot as yet
be estimated. It Is probable that this unsea
sonable frost will materially Increase the
amount of soft and light weight corn that
will be harvested. With favorable weather
in the future, the early planted upland fields
give promise of a large output of sound corn.
A large portion of the crop In tha southern
half of the state was too far advanced to be
seriously injured.

ernor A. B. Cummins with regard "to the
legality of the recent filing of Incorporation
papers of the Chicago, Rock Island &
Pacific Railway company with the secre
tary of state.

statements made with regard to the same
are simply guesswork.
Governor Cummins left today to attend

Vlllaare.
HARTFORD. Ky., Sept. 16. There Is a
reign of terror at Rockport, eight miles
west of here, and the town Is practically
in the bands of a drunken, lawless band of
men, whose members frighten the law
abiding citizens Into submission.
Last night over 100 shots were fired In
the town by the gang and the citizens of
Rockport are afraid to call for aid, fearing
that ths mob may hear of it and burn the
town, as they have threatened. During
last night's fusllade Town Marshal Til
ford waa wounded. Three of the gang have
been arrested.

SARATOGA. Wyo., Sept. 16. (Special )
C. W. Oarbntt. superintendent of forest
reserves for Wyoming, South Dakota and
Nebraska. Is here to Investigate the recent
forest fires In this section and extinguish
those now burning.
As the fire cn Brush creek has again
broken out, as well as a new one on Doug
las creek, Superintendent Garbutt has
asked permission of the department to
appoint rangers, one to take charge of each
fire, which was granted. William K. nran
ford and Shcllle Wood were selected and
they have organized forces and repaired
to the scenes ot the fires.
The Brush creek fire has gained con
siderable headway aguln, owing to the high
wind of the last few days. This fire v as
extinguished by Captain N. J. O'Brien of
Denver, and when he went away ho asked
for permission to appoint guards to patrol
the forest to prevent the fire breaking
out afresh, but this request was denied by
the department.
Tbe fire on Douglas creek is a new one
and has gained such headway that It will
be a difficult problem to extinguish it
before snow files. U has a front of eight
miles and Is confined to the dense timber.
Ranger Branford says 100 men could not
put It out were they to fight the flames for
weeks. So far as known there are no min
ing camps or ranches In the path of the
fire and outside of the destruction of val
uable timber the damage will not be heavy.
Another fire has broken out In the coun
try aloug the South Fork of Encampment
river.
All of southeastern Wyoming Is covered
by a pall of black smoke and at times
the sun Is hidden from view. At night
the moon resembles a huge ball of fire
and Is a blood red in color.
From Governor Richards.
CHEYENNE, Wyo., Sept. 16. Governor
Richards has been Informed by telephone
from Grand Encampment that for many
miles along the Wyoming-Colorado line,
north of Pearl, Colo., a furious forest fire
Is raging, devastating everything in Its
path. Efforts to subdue the flames have
been exhausted without effect. Governor
Richards immediately communicated with
Governor Orman of Colorado and arranged
for both to send a telegram to the secre
tary ot tbe Interior asking for aid.
According to the latest reports, there
are at least eighteen serious forest fires
burning in Wyoming, to say nothing of
numerous smaller fires burning in southern
Albany county that are destroying great
swamps of fine pine timber In the Medicine
Bow range and threatening mining build
ings. Although a hundred miles away from
Cheyenne, the smoke from these fires ob
scures ths sky here and the odor ot burn
ing wood is plainly noticeable.
At Washington.
WASHINGTON, Sept. 16. Lato today the
Interior department received a telegram
from Superintendent Sheller, in charge ot
the forest reserve tracts in Washington
state, saying that two fires were raging
over a large area Inside the Mount Ranter
reserve. -The rangers have been fighting
these fire's since' their Inception and extra
help has been employed to aid In the
battle.
In response to the telegrams from the
governors of Wyoming and Colorado, the
secretary ot the interior has ordered For
est Superintendent Garbutt ot Wyoming to
assist Supervisor Atherly of the Crow
Creek reserve in fighting the fire reported
burning near Pearl, Just south of the
Medicine Bow foreBt reserve. They will
employ a large number of men to assist
In the work. .This is ths only action tbe
department can take.
A new, forest fire that stretches over a
large area is reported in official circles
in South Platte forest reserve, which For
est Superintendent Michelson and a large
force are working to extinguish. The dis
patches say the fire near Saratoga, Wyo.,
has been brought under control.
