While on his way home Thursday night with the proceeds of his quarterly pension check In his pocket he was held up and robbed by two men In Cochran park. The robbers secured $20 which Wycoff had In his Test pocket, but overlooked $40 he was carrying In his trouser's pocket. The men were evidently aware that Wycoff had drawn his pension that day and were waiting lor him In the park. One of them held a revolver to his face while the other searched him. When the fellows stepped from behind a tree and ordered Wycoff to hold up his hands one of them said: "Hello, Bill; we want that money we know you have got In your pockets." After they had taken the $20 from bis vest pocket Wycoff expostulated, saying they had no right to rob an old soldier. The fellow with the revolver told Wycoff to go to a warm place and with an oath threatened to crack him over the head if he did not go on his way home. Wycoff armed himself with a gun yesterday and went searching for the robbers, but failed to locate them. He reported the robbery to the police last evening. numbing and heating. Blxby & Bon. Held as Robbers. Charles Shoemaker and William Gerard were arrested yesterday morning, charged with highway robbery.

WILL NOT ALLOW SECOND EXCHANGE Special Committee) of City Canncll Completes Its Work and Is Ready to gabmit to Full Body. Aldermen Lovett, Casper and Tlnley, Mayor Morgan and City Solicitor Snyder, the special committee appointed by the city council, completed Its work yesterday aft ernoon of framing an ordinance for an In dependent toll telephone system which it will now submit to the committee of the whole for its approval or rejection. The committee ot the whole will meet Monday afternoon to consider the ordinance and to frame its report, which, it Is expected, will be made at the meeting of the city council Monday night. The ordinance as It tiow stands does not meet with too complete favcr o! at least two members of the special committee, who are desirous of granting a franchise to a company to that It can establish a s?o ond and Independent telephone system with an exchange in the city. The ordinance Is drawn to conform to the Instructions of the committee of tho whole, which voted in favor of an exclusive toll telephone sys tem and against a second local exchange. A number ot amendments were made in the ordinance yesterday by the commit tee so as to preclude any possibility of it being construed to grant a right to estab lish a local exchange and second tele phone system in the city. Soma Stringent Provisions. Section 7 of the ordinance s originally drafted by the city solicitor had a number cf amendments tacked on to It. One Is that the franchise shall in no case be con strued to grant any right to make connec tions or to construct or operate sny ex change between subscribers, toll stations or persons living within the city limits. An other is that telephone communication and connection for all of Its toll stations (the words "toll stations" being inserted In place of "subscribers") In the city of Coun cil Bluffs shall be given with any of the subscribers In the rural exchange at regu lar toll rate charges, the same to be agreed to by the city council. A further amend ment to this section provides that the tolls charged to non-subscribers within said rural exchange district shall not exceed 10 cents for a service of five minutes. A previous section designates the rural ex change district as a ten-mile radius from the postofflce of Council Bluffs. One amendment to the original ordinance provides that as one ot the considerations for the granting ot the franchise the com pany obtaining it shall agree that within eighteen months it will maks such ar rangements and establish such connections with the lines of the companies belonging to the Iowa State Independent Telephone association si to ' enable its patrons to communicate with the subscribers snd pat rons of said companies over their Joint lines. Failure to provide such connection will forfeit the franchise. Prohibits Local Eickance, In order to prevent the ordinance being construed as granting the right to estab lish a local exchange and telephone system within the city this section was tacked onto the ordinance: That nothing in this ordinance shall be construed as in any manner granting the right and authority to said company. Its successors or assigns, to construct, main tain and operate a general telephone sys tem and exchange in the city of Council Bluffs. Another amendment provides that the company obtaining the franchise shall within five days from the acceptance of the ordinance granting it, must pay the city the sum of $1,000 and the city binds Itself to pay back to the company this sum within ten days of the passage of a reso lution by the city council approving the completion and installation ot the system. This secMon takes the place of one provid ing for the furnishing by the company ob taining the franchise ot a bond for the faithful performance ot Its contract. has placed Ihe campaign ahead of previous years snd It is generally understood that the candidates themselves are anxious for the convention to be held at an early date. Ths county offices to be voted on this fall snd the candidates now In the field for the republican nominations are as fol lows: For county treasurer, J. P. Green shields of Council Bluffs, Emll Leffert ot Council Bluffs and L. O. Ccnslgney of Avoca; for chrrlff, Captain L. B. Cousins of Council Bluffs, Ed Canning of Council Bluffs, Ed Slade of Avoca, George W. Adams of Walnut and D. W. .MuKee of Carson; for county superintendent ot schools, Prof. O. J. McManua of Council Bluffs; for county surveyor, Thomas Toste vin of Council Bluffs and Ernest E. Cook of Council Bluffs; for coroner, Dr. V. L. Treynor of Council Bluffs; for members of the Board of Supervisors, John Zahncr of Rockford township, F. S. Friend of Rock ford township, Charles Slgler of Rockford township and Allen Bullls of Wright town ship. It Is expected that other asplrapts for the several nominations will develop be fore the date of the convention, and it Is not Improbable that more than one dark horse will be sprung at the convention for one or more of the principal offices.

NOTHING NEW IN FORNEY CASE Chaney Put In Inestbox, hot Denies Any Connection with the Crime. There were no new developments in the Forney murder case yesterday, although the police stated they were securing evi dence which tended to further implicate Chaney in the crime. Chaney was put in the sweatbox yesterday by Chief Tlbbtts, but nothing was obtained from him except his repeated declaration that he was inno cent of tho shooting. Chaney's Eudden arrest Thursday night. It Is said, was due to the fact that the authorities received Intimation that he and his wife were preparing to leave tha city. It Is said that they were trying to rent their house and making other arrangements for a sudden departure. Reports have corao to the police that Chaney, since the arrest of Rorer3. whom he prcfcErrd to identify as one rf the high waymen, has been telling several persons that the gun used by the man who shot Forney was a cheap nickel-plated weapon. The bullets taken from Forney's body were from a 41-calIber revolver such as was found on Rogers. From the fact that Chaney was telling about the highwayman who he claimed shot Forney using a cheap nickel-plated weapon leads the police to think friends of Rogers had been tampering with Chaney. Rogers was photographed yesterday and his pictures will be sent- out broadcast by the authorities. Rogers resisted having Ms picture taken and contorted his features every time the photographer attempted to snap the camera on him. He drew his face up all out of shape and four pictures had to be taken before one was secured that was at all satisfactory. FOR MURDER JNJFIRST DEGREE EIU McDanlels and Albert M.

' Council Bluffs will make a bid for the meeting of the Iowa grand lodge. Knights of Pythias, and Chief of Police C. A. Tlb blts and Clem Kimball will go to Des Moines today empowered to act in the mat ter on behalf of the local lodges and with the support of the Commercial club This was decided upon yesterday afternoon at a meeting of the executive committee of the Commercial club after a conference with the committees of the local Pythian lodges. In order to secure the meeting here of the Pythian grand lodge In August it will be necessary to raise a fund of from $1,000 to $1,200 to defray the expenses, and this the executive committee of the Commer cial club believes can readily be accom plished. Council Bluffs will be ca'led upon In the event of Its securing the meeting to provide a place in which the sessions cf the grand lodge can be held, to furnish prizes for the competitive dr'll of the uni formed rank, which will hold Its annual encampment at the same time, and to fur nish encampment grounds; etc. The executive ce nmitteo has aasurances of assistance from the motor company, which, it is expected, will furnish the camp grounds, with light and water. The meeting of the grand lodge and attendant encampment of the uniform rank. It Is ex pected, will bring At least 2,000 visitors to Council Bluffs. and Shoemsker recently served a term in the penitentiary for robbery.

(From a Staff Correspondent.) DES MOINES, April 17. (Special.) Mrs. Mary Davis was burned to death In her kitchen at 2 o'clock this afternoon. She was engaged In washing and an explosion of oil enveloped her In flames, so that she was burned to death very quickly. No one was present at the time, and whether she placed the oil in the fire and an ex plosion followed, or whether there was a mistake and she was given gasoline for kerosene. Is not known. A neighbor, Mrs. James Shenk, saw smoke Issuing from the windows and ran out into the street to call assistance. John Fletcher, who was Just across the street, ran over and he and Mrs .Shenk broke in the kitchen door. The room was filled with smoke and only by foiling his way about did he find the body of Mrs. Davis, lying on the kitchen flocr already lifeless. He dragged the body out and Mrs. Shenk threw a blanket over her to put out the flames, but It was useless. The head and face and upper part of the body of Mrs. Davis were badly burned and she had evidently died in agony, but very quickly, partly from burns and partly from suffocation. Mrs. Davis was the widow of Lincoln Davis, a miner who was killed in a Saylorville coal mine a year ago. She leaves three small chil dren. Her mother lives in Boone. Tho corouer was called and proceeded to mako investigation to determine whether some one else had made a mistake in the ' de livery of oil to hor. Mngraxlne Rifles Received. Adjutant General Byers this morning received the COO new Krag-Jorgenaen rir.es, EhlppeJ to the state from the Rock Irl.nd arsenal, to be distributed lo mem bers of the Fifty-fourth regiment, - Iowa National Guard. Theso arc the first rifles that have been distributed under the new Dick bill and the distribution is . mado ahead ot the inspections by tho army offi cers because of tho desire to have the guns when the regiment goes to St. Louis to appear in the parade on the visit of tho president there. The routes and trains for the regiment have all been arranged and these arms will be sent nut to tho twelve companies next week. The old arms will be retained until after the guard inspection some time next month. An effort Is being made by Marshalltown to eecure the vacancy in the Fifty-first regiment due to the dropping out of Bed ford. The Marshalltown . company was mustered out some time ago because the people would not assist In the erection of an armory. They now propose building an armory and securing a new company. Perry's Body Taken Away. The body of Arthur Perry, the suicide and would-be murderer, was taken to Mo ravia, la., today. A man named J. J. Hicks came trom Moravia, and took pos session of the bedy. It had been remom- bered that a short time ago Perry told his employer to send for Hicks In case any thing happened to him, but did . not say where Hicks lived. Then it was found he had relatives at Moravia. A telegram sent to Hicks at Moravia elicited a quick re sponse. But Mr. Hicks would not give any information ss to the Identity of Perry and it Is now generally believed his name was Hicks and not Perry, and for some reason had changed his name. It now transpires that Perry had refused to re veal to any of his friends the Identity of his parents or where they lived, and had always refused to talk about his past. Mra. Bruco, who was shot by Perry, is recov ering. Kcarroea and the President. The negroes of Des Moines, of whom there arc several thousand, purpose giving a great reception to President Roosevelt on the occasion of his visit to the city. This morning a committee set out to have tho entire colored population of the city maased along somo special section of the six-mile route the president is to trPvel In Des Moines. Tho negroes arc enthusiastic over Roosevelt and desire to make a demon stration here that will convey to him some Idea of their appreciation of his conduct toward the negroes ot the south.

IOWA DOCTORS GET INTO LINE Pat Their State Society on the Bants of tba . American Medical Association. SIOUX CITY, la., April 17. (Special Tel egram.) Young doctors against old doctors was the character oi a struggle In the Iowa State Medical society convention, which closed here today with the adoption of the new constitution. This aligns thi society with the American Medical asso ciation, which some of the doctors term the "great medical trust." It will vir tually force all doctors to enter local county societies. If they sre not mem bers of local societies they cannot be mem bers of a state or national society. It was opposed on the ground that it savored ot trades unionism. Each society will be en titled to cne delegate in the house of delegates, which will transact the business of the state society. If the local society has over fifty members, the representation Will bo one delegate tor every fifty mem bers or fraction thereof. If a doctor falls to pay his dues, the local society will have to expel him or forfeit Its membership. Dr. J. .A. Scroggs of Keokuk, Its newly elected president, was inducted Into tbe chair before tbe adjournment of the ses sion.. The meeting was attended by about 200 - doctors .and is regarded by the physi cians as one of the pleasantest as well as one of the most successful meetings in its history.
