In the name of William Arnd, county treas

Judge Smith Mcfhersoo, now holding the
term of federal 'court In this city, received
i yesterday a copy of the opinion of the
United Statea court of appeals in the Union
Pacific bridge tax case. In which the ap
pellate court affirmed the ruling of Judge
McPherson that the cast end of the bridge
was not subject to the payment of mu
nicipal taxes.
Among other things, the opinion sets out
that to enforce the collection of municipal
tax ca on the bridge would be a violation of
the constitutional provision that property
cannot he taken without due compensation.
Also that It la a settled provision of the
law In Iowa that corporate limit of a city
may exceed Its taxable limits. On this
point the opinion sits forth "'hat from the
agreed statement of facta and annexed plat
It is apparent that the city of Council
BlufTs 'has the corporate limits of a great
city, with the possibilities and municipal
Improvements and agencies of a compara
tively small one. Its boundaries seemed to
have been established In anticipation of a
future growth In population which has not
yet come about."
The opinion states further that It Is evi
dent that land where the bridge is situated
would not be aubject to city taxation. Also
that the bridge, owing to Its location, reaps
no benefit from nr nrntentlnn Kv h
and j..,.....,, ,h, ,..,,,
? ,,nr ' ",Partments. that it Is patrolled
Buumcn. in conclusion, tne
opinlcn gives the city a ray of hope that
possibly some day the bridge may become
subject to the payment of city taxea by
stating that this ruling applies only to ex
isting conditions which may be changed
some day to bring the bridge within the
taxable llmita of the city.

BIG INCORPORATION FEES
Iowa May Receive a Quarter of a Million
from This Source This Tear.
SON GETS POSTMASTER IN TROUBLE
Statement Is Made that the Sw Presi
dent of State College at Ames
Mast Re an Iovra Man Lea;
Ball for Prisoner.
(From a Staff Correspondent.)
DES MOINES, March 12. (Special.) Tho
steady stream of new Incorporations In the
state of Iowa, notwithstanding the greater
foes that are exacted for Incorporation In
this state, causes great surprise to many
of the state officers. Last year more than
$200,000 In fees was received ln the office
of secretary of state, nearly all being on
Incorporation matters. The Increase In
business has been steady. In 1900 the
number ot different new corporations which
filed tbelr papers with the secretsry of
state was 719. The next year the number
went up to 79", and last year the total
reached 1,135. t'p to this time the number
filed this year has been the same as last
year, and it Is probable that the number
will be slightly Increased before the year
Is ended. The fees received last year were
made large because the legislature took off
the limit for large corporations, and this
did not deter the Rock Island reorganize
and others from becoming Incorporated in
Iowa. But the Increase of business was
such that If the fees had been figured at
the old rate they would have amounted
to $20,000 more than the previous year.
There is anticipation that a big fee will be
received from the Northwestern on ac
count of the Increase In Its capital stock.
Tho majority of the new corporations are
new Industrial enterprises, only a few being
banks or financial corporations.
One Prisoner Gets nail.
Frank Cook, under arrest on four charges,
took ball from a Justice court today and
created some excitement on the streets. Ho
was accused cf grand larceny and breaking
and entering on two counts each, and had
been taken before Justice Duncan. He
waa notified that his bond vould amount
to $1,700. Ho was pacing the floor and
told the court that his attorney had gone
to see if he oould arrange for ball. Just
then his Mtorney came In and Cook talked
with him awhile, but, watching his oppor
tunity, dashed from the court room and
disappeared down the street with tho jus
tice and others loudly calling to the pe
destrians to stop the fleeing prisoner. Cook
disappeared entirely.
Postmaster In Trouble.
Definite Information reached here today
to the effect that the shortage In the ac
counts ot Postmaster Metzgar of Daven
port was found to be $5,669.24, all of which
waa made up on the occasion of a visit
of the Inspector to his office this week, the
money being placed to his credit In the
bank by friends. It is also stated that
the cause of the temporary shortage was
that Metzgar. bad been compelled to pay
out large sums on account of some dis
graceful scrape in which his son had
figured. The Inspector, however, reported
the accounts with the government as satis
factory. Mrtzgar" was laat year depart
ment commeedier of the Grand Army of the
Republic and formerly custodian of the
state capltol here. He Is a very active
politician ot the Second Iowa district.

D. Whisenand for re-election to the re

understood that W. P. Fltzpatrlck of Story
county will be the member of the com
mittee from this district. It was also
conceded that Whisenand would be elected
chairman of the committee, but that posi
tion Is now certain to go to either S. X.
Way of Hancock county or C. W. Phillips

Bankers Offer n Reward,
The executive committee of the State
Bankers' association Is in favor of having
the association make a standing off.r of
$2,000 for the arrest and conviction of any
baDk robber in Iowa. The members of .the
committee believe that If this standing
reward Is offered, and It is generally known
amng officers ln the state that there Is
such a reward. It will be an Incentive to
quick action on their part when there Is
a bank robbery. Instead of the delays and
Indifference so often manifested.
Glenwood Contracts Let.
The State Board of Control has awarded
the contract for work at Glenwood to W.
W. Welch of Clarlnda for $59,100. The

every part of the state by members ot the

Interested In the matter. To date he has
received over $2,000 from various sources.

Most Re Iowa Man.
It Is pretty certain that the man who
la selected for president ot the Iowa State
college will be an Iowa man, some one
now engaged ln college work In the state,
or In some line of work which fits himself
for that work. The trustees are prac
tically of one mind In regard to this. They
say that thus far they have been unable
to find anyone from outside the state who
Is so consplauous that he would bp accepted
by all without question, and they feel It
safer to place at the head some one fa
miliar with the college or at leest whose
merits are well known to Iowa people.

Messrs. J. B. Hungerford. C. I. Barclay and
W. O. McElroy, all members of the com
mittee on president, met with Governor
Cummins, to talk over the matter. There
has not been any regular meeting of the
committee to prepare a report, but one
will be held before the trustees' meeting,
March 28 next. A report will be made to
the board, but It is probable that the re
port will not definitely recommend any ont
person aa the choice of the committee for
president. It Is therefore doubtful If the
meeting to be held the latter part of the
month will result In selection of a college
president.
STEAMER PR0VES A MYSTERY
Sends Ip Signals and Then Goes to
the Bottom Leavlnsr Xo
Trace.
SAN FRANCISCO. March 12. Great mys
tery attaches to the disappearance and
Identity of a steamer which is reported to
have sent up signals of distress off Point
Reyes last night and which suddenly dis
appeared as If swallowed up by the sea.
Just before its disappearance, the ob
servers say,- the steam siren of the dis
tressed vessel sounded three long blasts
and lanterns were swung on the port side
In a manner Indicating that great excite
ment must have prevailed on board the
vessel. To the watchers at tho Point
Reyes lighthouse It looked as If those on
board were preparing to disembark.
Captain Jorrensen of the life saving sta
tion ordered his crew to get a lifeboat
ready and with his men launched the boat
and spent several hours cruising in the vi
cinity of the spot where the steamer was
supposed to have gone down, but nothing
to Indicate a wreck was found. The steamer
Columbia, from Portland, Ore., arrived to
day and Its commander saw no wreckage or
other indications that a vessel hsd gone
to the bottom.
The steauier Corona ot Eureka, 'Ca!., sig
naled that It had passed through immense
quantities of wreckage at 3:30 o'clock this
morning at a point about thirty miles
routbeast ot Point Arena. Investigation
Indicates that this wreckage was a portion
of the dick load of the steamer schooner
Alcatrai, from Greenwood Landing, Cel.,
which was lost during the storm on the
morning of March 8, together with some ot
Its rigging.
Alcatraz arrived In port safely several
days ago. The consensus oT opinion around
the Merchants' exchange Is that while the
Point Reyes people may have seen signals
of some sort, the signals were not intended
to 'ndicate that the vessel sending them
up was In grave danger.
