CONTEST OVER THE DITCHES
Two Men Assert Their Signatures to tie
Petition Are Forgeries.
ALLEGE SIGNERS ARE INSUFFICIENT
Board Will lnvetlate Ilrfore Taking
Aay Action Harrison County
Men Are to Have a
Hearing;.
The Board of County Supervisors failed
to take any action yesterday In the pro
posed drainage ditch scheme for Pottawat
tamie and Harrison counties, owing to the
failure of the Harrison county authorities
to put in appearance as had been expected.
Word was received, however, that the
Harrison county people would be present
at today'a session. A number of farmers
from Rockford and Crescent townships
were present and the matter waa discussed
Informally.
The petitions for the drainage ditches
were filed about three years ago and they
show 103 names, the law requiring that a
petition of this nature must have 100 sig
natures of the voters of the county before
the board can entertain It. J. A. Currle
and H. L, Aldrldge appeared before the
board and stated that their signatures on
the petition were forgeries and had not
been authorized by them. Opponents to
the drainage ditch scheme contend that
the petition has not the required number
of genuine signatures, and this will have to
be ascertained by the board before it takes
any deftcite action in the ma'.ter.
The Canton Bridge company of Ohio,
which was awarded the contract for the

no law which made the county liable, the
board rejected the claim of Sheriff Cousins
ot 125, the amount of the rewards which
he paid for the capture of H. S. Flahburn,
William Mason and Michael Foley, who
broke out of the county Jail last summer.
Dr. Henry V. Brown was given the con

GORMAN STIRS HORNET'S NEST
Other Members of the Board of Edn-
ration Take Exceptions to
His Criticisms.
Member Gorman, at the meeting of the
Board of Education last night, aroused the
Ire of several of the older members by ac
cusing them of neglecting their duties In
falling to visit the schools. He offered a
long list of amendments to the rules and
regulations governing the board and In
sisted that a committee be appointed whose
sole business shall be to make regular vis-
Its to the several schools. This prompted
Member Hess to make a vigorous protest
against Mr. Gorman's Insinuations. Super
intendent Clifford also contradicted some
of the assertions made by Mr. Gorman.
President Sargent also protested against
Mr. Gorman's criticism of the members of
the board and called his attention to the
fact that the schools of Council Bluffs
held high rank amongst the schools of tht
state.
For the school election next month the
six voting districts were divided among
the members as follows: First, Shugart;
Second, Keller; Third, Cooper. Fourth,
Macrae; Fifth, Gorman; Sixth, Hess. Tbey
will appoint the Judges and clerks and the
voting places will be selected by Secretary
Ross.
In making the estimate of the funds
needed for the ensuing year it was decided
the same amount as last year will be neces.
sary. The estimate last year was $70,000
for teachers' fund, $32,000 for contingent
fund, which Includes $2,000 for free text
books, and $9,760 for schoolhouse Interest
fund. The question ot aaklng for special
levies for completing the addition to the
Pierce Street and an sdditlon to one of the
schools in the Sixth ward waa discussed,
but action deferred until the finance com
mittee can make a report. As soon as the
finance committee Is prepared to make Its
report a special meeting will be called.
Henry Crum, the Janitor of the Hill
school, was allowed $10 a month, commenc

Wlckham Brothers of this city have been
awarded the contract for the construction
of the Great Western's freight depot which

Sixth and Seventh streets. The building
will cost $35,000. The same firm has the
contract for the construction of the round
house and attendant buildings.
Bids for the passenger depot are to be

Intended to locate the passenger depot on
Ninth avenue, Just east of Main street,
but It has now been decided to place it at
or near the southwest corner of Ninth
avenue and Main street. The reaaon fcr this
change Is that trains stopping at the sta

4 per cent interest a month upon the ro'.'s

DES MOINES, Feb. 17. (Special.) Mem
bers of the state executive council and of
tho State Board of Control have arranged
for a meeting at Glenwood next Saturday
with Mr. Howard, right-of-way agent for
the Burlington railroad, and other officials.
The meeting Is ,"nr the purpose of modify
ing or changing tlii contract entered Into
between the state and the company with
reference to a rlht-of-way through state
property In connection with the Institution
for the Feeble-minded at Glenwood. The
Burlington desires to go through the state
property in order to straighten its track
and save some heavy grades. The legis
lature passed an act allowing the company
the right of way through the grounds pro
vided the route eliould be approved by the
executive council on terms to be fixed by
the council. A contract was entered Into
by the council and the company in regarJ
to the matter, and it was supposed that
'.he matter was all settled. It Is now
learned that some changes In this are de
sired by the company, and the route will
bo slightly chans'd from that approved by
the council. Hence a meeting will be held
Saturdy to modify the contract. Messrs.
Gilhertson, Carroll and Martin of the coun
cil will go, and Messrs. Cownio and Klnnc
of the board. It is understood the work of
changing the route is to be commenced at
Glenwood early in the fprlng.
County A-jdltor exonerated.
Ex-County Auditor G. W. Vander Wilt
of Marlon county was today acquitted of the
charge of tampering with the election re
turns. He was n candidate to succeed him
self, and his republican opponent was
found, on the face of the returns as unoffi
cially made, to be elected by a small plu
rality. When the tjooks were opened It
wns found some one had changed the fig
ures, and In two townships made a suffi
cient change so as to give Vander Wilt the
election. Inasmuch as he was custodian of
the books he was indicted. The contest
for the office resulted in the republlc.cn be
ing seated. But a Jury today, after a long
trial, found Vander Wilt not guilty. He is
yet to be tried on another charge In con
nection with this same matter.

The state college this week commenced
again the serle3 of experiments In feeding
cattle at the experiment farm In Sac county
the experiments being to test the relative
value of various forms of food prepared for
cattle, and especially the manufactured
foods which are oa the market. The ex
periments last summer were not entirely
satisfying to the college people, and it is
proposed that the present series shall cover
the whole ground completely. The experi
ments are under tb direction of N. C.

The adjutant general today received a
letter from a man In Wellman, la., stating
that they have In that town a military

bers, including officers." and that they are

know where uniforms could be secured.
The attorney general cited him to the code
which provides that such Irregular com
panies may not be formed In Iowa. The
cause of the sudden arming of men at
Wellman la not known, as the state of
ficials have no Information of any outbreak
there. Wellman Is In Washington county.

The executive council has refused to ap
prove the articles of incorporation of the
Mutual Home Guarantee association, of
Missouri Valley. The company sought to
incorporate under the building and loan
law of the state with $100,000 capital. The
articles of Incorporation, however, appeared
to be open to the objection that under
them a great many different kinds of busi
ness might be done and the promoters had
plainly left an open doorway for the trans
action of business that would not be legitimate.
The curse of drunkenness Is the beset
ting sin of the land. The demon of In
temperance makes no discrimination In
his victims, striking down rich and poor
alike and blighting the lives of millions
every year.
Many a young man of brightest promise
and greatest mentsl and physical gifts
has found the dishonored grave of a drunk
ard. Instead of the honorable place in so
ciety for which his attainments would hsve
fitted blm, snd to which his ststlon In life
would hsve entitled blm.
In dsys gone by It was thought that a
drunkard was a drunkard merely because
he wished to be to, the popular opinion
being that any man' could stop drinking if
he would only exert sufficient will poser.
The medlcsl profession have long since
recognised the fallacy of attempting to
cure a drunkard of his tntemperste habits
by moral suasion. It has been for years
a wellknown medical fact that continued
Indulgence In alcoholic stimulants causes
the stomach and digestive organs to be-
i come diseased. Physicians will tell you,
! therefore, that In the vast majority of
: cases habitual drunkenness Is a physical
disease, requiring physical treatment.
This Is fsr too practical an age for
"faith cure" fallacies. It will not now
, be contended by many sane persons that
' organic diseases can be cured by mental
processes.
I The secret of the proper may to treat
! the abnormal craving fcr drink has been
; discovered by a chemist of many years'
stsnding. and after thorough teat, during
which It' has demonstrated that It never
falls to perform Its mission, a preparation
has been plsced on the market which will
positively and permanently !estn7 1!:3
rravlng for liquor, at tho sfime time thnt
It restores the normal condition of the
nerves of the stomnch and the digestive
organs, toning up and improving the health
of the patient.
"ORR1NE" Is the name of this wonder
ful preparation, which Is now on sale all
over the United States, sold and recom
mended by the leading druggists of the
country.
"ORRINE" IS ENDORSED BY THE W.
C. T. U. .physicians, clergymen, public
men, many members of the Y. M. C. A.,
and thousands of others. The good work
which this remedy has done haa made Its
name known from Maine to California,
and has caused such a demand for it that
Its manufacturers, who are wellknown and
prominent men of Washington, D. C, have
been unable to supply that demand.
"ORRINE" Is now on sale In Omaha by
Sherman ft McConnell Drug Co., wholesale
and retail druggists, corner l(th and Dodge
streets.
In every package there Is a registered
guarantee that this remedy, if taken ac
cording to directions, will permanently de
stroy the craving for liquor, with the dis
tinct agreement to REFUND THE PUR
CHASE MONEY if It ever should foil,
which It never has done and never will.
For the drunkard unwilling to be cured,
"ORRINE" ran be given In food, tea, cof
fee, water or milk. WITHOUT THE PA
TIENT'S KNOWLEDGE. It Is In the form
of r. small powder, tasteless, odorless snd
colorless. Thousands of cures have been
effected In this way, and thousands of let

wives and mothers, all speaking tn the
Henest ferns arj most positive way o'

Irepared by expert chemists, on prlnri
pies recognlred as correct by the medical
profession, endorsed by the best physicians
"ORRINE" leaves absolutely no bad effects
of any kind. In fact tha medical princi
ples upon which It is founded would
easily warrant Its use as a tonic. It cures
the drink habit by removing the rravlng
for liquor, aoothing the nerves, curing the
diseased stomach linings, bringing bsck s
normal and healthy appetite and restoring
normal conditions. There are absolutely
no poisonous drugs, opium, cocaine or
other Injurious lngredlenta In "ORRINE."
In fact, a child could take It without thn

NEW YORK, Feb. 17. Steps were taken
here today to save 10,000 starving elk on

Mr. Anderson at once oidered thst a tem
