Of all the druggists In Council Bluffs
Mayor Morgan Is said to have the diatlnc
tlon of being the only one to have com
piled with the law relative to securing the
necessary permit to sell liquors. The
records of both the district and superior
courts. It It said, fall to show where any
druggist In the city, with the exception of
Mayor Morgan, has obtained the neceasary
permit to sell liquor, although It la alleged
they all do and that their business In this
respect hat greatly Increased since County
Attorney Klllpack Issued his manifesto to
the saloons to close on Sundays.
This led the fslooa men .to Investigate,
with the result, as they allege, that Mayor
Morgan is tho only druggist in Council
Bluffs who has a legal permit to aell liquor.
Not only has Mayor Morgan obtained In
the legal manner the neceasary permit, but
be haa further complied with the law by
making the requisite report to the county
auditor ot all liquor sold by him and to
whom.
Before a druggist can obtain a permit
to sell liquor he It required to file the
proper application In either the district
or superior court at least ten days before
the following term of court and alao must
publish for three consecutive weeks In a
newspaper published In the city notice of
hla Intention to make such application. The
application then comet before the judge of
the court and if the requirements of the
law have been complied with and no objec
tions are filed the permit It Issued.
Records of the ' district court at Avoca
show that all druggists In the east end of
the county who sellr liquor have compiled
with the law and obtained the necessary
permits, but a careful Investigation of 'the
recorda of the courts In Council Bluffs show
that with the exception of Mayor Morgan,
who secured his permit shortly after being
elected chief executive of the city, this
law haa not been observed. "
With the exception of a government
license, druggists are not required to pay
any license to the municipality for selling
liquor. '

(From a Staff Correspondent.)
DES MOINES. March 26. (Special.) The
conference of coal miners and mine oper
ators, which haa been in aesslon here for
four weeks, waa practically concluded to
day, every point In the matter of wages
having been agreed to in the conference
of the scale committees. The agreement
will be printed and afterward signed by
those who are responsible for It and, this
will take a day or two. At the session today
the final details were all cleared up and
the wage scale Is regarded as complete.
There have been from seventy-five to 100
miners and operatora in conference for
four weeks, and they have conducted their
conferences In perfect good feeling at all
times. The chief differences have related
to the question of management and to the
wages of the helpers. vThe operatort con
ceded an advance at the outset substantially
the same as that of the Indianapolis con
ference of from 6 to 10 cents a ton for
mining, according to the way It Is meas
ured. This has fornled' the basis for the
negotiations. The prices run from 85 centt
to $1.10 a ton for mining, and the wages
for the next year will give the miners of
Iowa and northern Missouri an addition
that will be decidedly welcome. It la un
derstood the operators will demand a little
more per ton tor their coal the next year.

matter now and no president may be elected
at this meeting. .
Ofllclnl Arn Hebelllons.
A good deal of comment hat been aroused
by the discovery, lhat the county officials
in a few ot the counties ot the state have
set out to refuse to follow the new lawt
ot the last legislature in. some Important
matters. One new law provided that the
county auditors shall prepare for publica
tion the first of every year a complete
financial statement and the board of super
visors shall have the same published in
pamphlet form for the benefit of the tax
payers. In a large number of the counties
of the state this baa been done before and
thla year most of the counties have com
plied. A number have not done so. State
officials have made Inquiry, and from
Pottawattamie county received the Inform
ation that the Board of Supervisors at Its
annual meeting decided informally It would
refuse to obey the law and make an attempt
at the next session of the legislature to
secure Its repeal. Xn effort waa mad to
have the supervisors' association endorse
the movement to boycott the law, but thlt
failed and only an Informal underatanding
waa reached among the membera.

cided to meet the president and hla party
at the depot with carriagea and drive them

BOSTON. March 26. In cotton mill cir
cles It Is th general opinion that the tex
tile council at Lowell will vote tonight to
declare a general strike In the eeven big
cottoa manufactories her on next Monday.
Thlt action It believed certain because ot
the failure of the conference yesterday be
tween the mill agents tnd their operatives

the employes for a 10 per cent Increase.
The trouble at Lowell it It believed will
b more than a local Issue and the officials
of mills la northern New England, outside

employed, are Intensely interested In the
outcome of the controversy at that place.
The Interest which control the Lowell
mills largely control the mills ol Manches
ter, Dover, Nsshsu, Lawrence and else
where. The president of one Lowell corporation
Is the leading factor In New Hampshire
mills, employing a total of nearly 15,000
hands.
According to the statistics of a public
official who has been Investigating affairs
In Lowell, the total number of operatives
who would be directly affected by a ttrlko
la about 18,000, about 6,000 ot whom are
union members.
