Matters In District Court.
The suit of Gerhard Ostdlc'x against the
Chicago, Milwaukee ft St. Paul Railway
company In the district court, In which
the plaintiff sought to recover $103.30 for
the death of a ateer which had been killed
on the defendant's track waa taken from
the Jury by Judge Thornell yesterday, and
a, verdict entered for the railroad company.
Judge Thornell held that the railroad was
not responsible, as the evidence showed
that at the point where the steer was killed
the tracks of tSe railway company crossed
a public highway, and consequently the
railroad could not maintain a fence there.
Following the dismissal of the Ostdlck
suit, a Jury was Impaneled to try the suit
of Hennessy against the same railroad
company, In which the plaintiff seeka to re
cover $50 for a horse killed on the de
fendant company's tracks.
The ault brought by the Mason City
ft Fort Dodge Railroad company to re-
atraln the board .of county supervisors
from ordering an overhead crossing on the
public highway near the new town of Mc
Clelland waa dismissed at plaintiff's cost.
The same railroad also dismissed the ap

Purpose of Organisation.
The business and object of the organ
ization, as set forth In the articles of In
corporation, will be to promote the prog
ress, extension and Increase of the yade
and Industries of the city of Council
Bluffs, Iowa and vicinity In all Its com
mercial and material Interests; to work
for the common good of all In matters
touching the general welfare of said city
through the consultation and united effort
of the members hereof; to secure the lo
cation of manufactures and other business
enterprises In the said city and vicinity; to
promote commercial progress and Ir.crease
trade and Industries to acquire and dis
seminate valuable commercial and econom
ical Information and acquire, and hold a
commercial library; to Increase acquaint
ance, harmony and good fellowship among
the business and professional men of the
said city and to secure the co-operation
of all the citizens of said city In lis de
velopment; and to use all such means as
may be bcBt calculated to protect and ad
vance the Interests and rights of Ita mem
bers aa business men, taxpayers and cltl
tens. '
LaBt night's meeting, like the previous
ones, was attended by a large number of
the leading business and protecsional men
of the city ,and there waa no lack of en
thusiasm In launching the club on Its
career of expected usefulness. Colonel W.
J. Davenport of the Burlington spoke of
the opportunity of advertising Council
Bluffs as It has never been advertised be
fore. Former Maor M. F. Rphrer spoke
at length In favor of the club securing the
services of a Qualified commissioner, stat
ing that this appeared to be the general
opinion of the business men of the city.
This matter will be left to the discretion
of the board of directors. Dr. Macrae sug
gested that the first matter the Commer
cial c'.ub should take up was that of en-
gsrd for what Is Just anil right. As your
board meets It, It has been met In my
work, but 1 am pleased to report that the
officers of the vnrloua courts, and who are
still compensated upon the fee system,
which Is untalr and pernicious In Its tend
encies, have been almost wholly abovj

county and have aided mo during the last
year, not only In reducing coat to the

SETTLE OLD INSURANCE CONTROVERSY
Supreme Court to Pass on (Ideation
Whether Hoard l as Ksceed Au
thorized Cost In Bnlldlna;
a Courthouse.
(From a Staff Correspondent.)
DES MOINES. Jan. 2S. (Special.) Tho
state department of public Instruction has
decided that no new bxik on "special days"
Is to be Is.sued this year, and today the
state superintendent sent to all superin
tendents and teachers a circular explaining
this and urging upon them special efforts
for the observance of special days and holi
days in the schools of Iowa. The past
two years unusually fine sreclal day booko
have been prepared and sent to the teach
ers of the state and thse are now In the
school libraries of the state. From these
programs may be made up for observing
Lincoln's birthday, Washington's birthday,
Memorial day. etc. Tho steady efforts ot
the department of education to encourage
interest In this for a number of years has
resulted In the general recognition of those
days in all the schools of the state. Stato
Superintendent Barrett will start out next
week for a personal visit to many country
schools In the state. He will be In Ida
county, Monona county. Pottawattamie and
Mills counties, and will Bpeak at the teach
ers' association at Silver City. He pur
poses spending considerable time Investi
gating the rural schools of the state and
lecturing In small places.
Mm. Dooth In Iowa.
Mrs. Maud Balllngton Booth la making a
tour of Iowa and visiting the state prisons.
She spoke last Sunday at the Fort Mad
ison penitentiary and will speak next Sun
day at Anamosa. Chairman Cownle-of the
State Board of Control will be at Ana
mosa at the time and her work among the
prisoners aud for the prisoners will be
encouraged In every way by the state offi
cials. She is engaged in working up in
terest In reformatory work for the prison
ers and Becurlng funds for caring for
those who are released from the prisons.
At Fort Mr.dlson she had over 400 of the
prisoners as auditors and greatly moved
ihcni by her eloquence.
ttld Insurance Matter Settled.
Myrtle A. Wright, tho woman who was
accused by the Annuity Life association of
having slowly poisoned Goorge W. Barber
of Webster City, la., that she might se
cure the proceeds of two life insurance
policies on him, has rettled with the com
pany after a long time. Barber died In
Colorado and suit was commenced by his
direct heirs to secure the proceeds of cer
tain policies. Mrs. Wright claimed tho
policies and they were made cut in her
name. The Lccusatlon of murder waj made
In the case, but no tttempt made to crim
inally prosecile Mrs. Wright. She sued
the company for the policies, which aggre
gated $5,000, and the case was today
stricken from the docket here with the ex
planation that the company bad settled
with the plaintiff for $1,160.
Limiting; Courthouse Coats.
The court house, bond case from Dallas
county has been appealed to the supreme
court aa a test rase, in view of the fact
that there are a number of new court
houscB being built in the state and ono
very laige one for Des Moines. The voters
authorized the bonds to tho amount of fS5,
000, "and no more" for the "construction,
completion and furnishing said court
bouse" In Dallas county. The plans called
for a building that was to be completed
for about $74,000. But when the house was
ready for occupancy it was found that war.
rapts to the amount of about $44,000 had
been irsued by the county board for work
c the court bouse In cxceiix of the $85,000
of bonds. Some of the taxpayers brought
suit to test the right of the board to
spend a larger sum than that which was
authorized in the proposition voted on and
Judge Gamble held that the power of
the voters in limiting the cost was merely
to the bare building and not to the fur
nishing. In Polk county $300,000 of bonds
have been authorized and It is expected the
court house will In fact cost a great deal
more and there Is Interest here and In
several counties cf the atate In the pest- 1
tion that will be taken by the supreme
court on the question.
Lawyer's Fee Is Saved.
The supreme court today decided that a
client', action In hiding money received on
a Judgment and refusing to pay the lawyer
amounted to fraud and gave an attorney
Judgment for his contingent fee. S. H.
Kerr had procured a Judgment for $2,000
In Humboldt county and the railroad com
pany paid It direct to the client, who
refused to pay the attorney 40 per cent
fee. The court gave Judgment for the law
yer.
