CUNNINGHAM AFTER MONEY
Tax Tercet and County Unable to Agree on
the Amount Due.
DIFFERENCE OVER SEVEN THOUSAND
Claimant Haa Mast Km Proposition for
Settlement, bat Board Aatlel
. pates One at the Kext
Moating.
T. M. Cunningham, the tax ferret, -who
has had a claim pending against Potta
wattamie county for the last year and a
half for about $10,000, as his share of tha
taxes paid Into the county treasury aa the
reeult of hla work under a contract made
with tha Board ot Supervisors, Is In tha
city. He la accompanied by E. E. Sluss of
Indianapolis, his attorney, and they, to
gether with Frank Bhlnn ot Carson, who
waa plaintiff In an action brought In tha
courta to declare the contract with Cun
ningham Illegal, conferred yesterday with
the members of the Board of Supervisors
and County Treasurer Arnd with a view
to reaching some settlement of the matter.
The aupreme court, In a recent decision
In the case brought by Shlnn, upheld the
contract with Cunningham. Under thla
contract Cunningham waa to get M per
cent of tha taxes collected aa the result
of hla efforts. The contract waa entered
Into late In the year 1S9 and referred to
taxes then due. In view of the decision
of the supremo court, declaring the eon
tract legal, It la no longer disputed that
Cunningham la entitled to half of the taxes
ha brought In for the yeara prior to 1899,
or something over $1,000. There now arises,
however, a dispute aa to the meaning and
scope of the contract. According to Cun
ntncham'a contention, he la entitled to 50
per cent of the taxea collected for 1899 and
subsequent years, wnicn woum give mm
about M.0O0. The county authorities, how
ever, dispute this claim and contend that
these collections are not covered by tha
contract.
Mr. Cunningham Is now located at Sulli
van, Ind., where he la the editor and pub
lisher of the Sullivan Tlmea. C. W. Well-
man, Who was associated wnn mr. v-un
nlngham In some of the tax ferret work .
done In thla state. Is now engaged in aim-
i. . M.mHe Ind . where ha hn 1
lini nuia -- . - --
collected about $60,000. The Indiana law
now allows the ferret a third of such col
lections.
Kxpeettna; aa Oiler.
No definite overtures were made by Cun.
nlngham to tha supervlaora yesterday for
the settlement of tha matter, but It la ;
. i h. fc. .in ttv anhmlt i
uiimi.iwM " - .
proposition to the board. Ha will, aa a
matter of course, accept tha $4,000 due hint
without dispute under the supreme court
decision. His proposition as to the balance
will be that tha matter be submitted to
the court on an agreed statement of facts.
Tha total amount paid In aa tha reault
of Cunningham' effort waa 18.167.30, In
cluding taxes for the year 1896 to 1900 In
clusive. Of this amount $9,176.96 waa of
taxes for 1809 and $S.s66.24 of taxes of 1900.
Tha balance, or $8,134.40 was taxea tor the
yeara 1896. 1897 and 1898, and under the
court's holding that Cunningham's con
tract la valid there la no further dispute
as to his being entitled to ona-half of this
sum, or $1062.20. Hla commission of M
per cent on the taxea collected for 1899 and
1900 la, however, denied on the ground that
thesa collections were not made under the
contract, aa the agreement specifically re
ferred to taxes du at tha time It waa
entered Into.

Interest to your honorable body. I have

Commercial club. I made the effort for
both cltlee to secure the valuable assistance
of Senator Millard.
The letter from General Superintendent
E. White states that after communicating
with the three dally papers of Omaha and

Crop Balletln Ihowa that Damage by
Flooda Haa Beea t nprecedented
and Present Need Is for

(From a Staff Correspondent.)
DES MOINES, Ia.. June t (Special.)
Tha Btata Board of Control gets only $4,000
from tha state for use In making the re
pairs at the institution for the feeble
minded at Glenwood. This la all that the
state executive council haa at Ita disposal.
It was conaldered possible that If tha
emergency warranted It the council might
make an extraordinary appropriation and
trust to the legislature to approve the
same. Thla would ba a proceeding not
without precedent.. Aa tha consultation
today between tha council and tha board It
waa decided beat that the board should try
to temporise with tha help of the $4,000.
The board will be able to save a little from
tha other appropriations at Glenwood and
thla can ba used for the repair work. The
quartera In the custodial building occupied
by the officers and employes will be given
over, so far as possible, for the use ot the
Inmates of the Institution. In one way or
nnother the board will get along until the
legislature makea an appropriation.
Iowa Crop Report for Week.
Crop bulletin, Dea Molnea, Ia.. for week
ending June 1: Thla haa been the most
unfavorable week of tha season. Tha m
perature was below normal, with a vary
large excess of cloudiness. Heavy ahowera
occurred dally In tha larger part of tha
atate, and severe local windstorms (not tor
naaoes) cauaed much damage to trees,
windmills and light structures in many
places. Following are soma of the reports
of heavy rainfall for the week: Des Moines,
7 40 Inches; Jefferson, 7.49; Bcranton, $.93
Carroll, 4.77; Marahalltown, 6.61; Blalra

Waterloo, 4 68; Logan, $.90; Albla, 4.80;
f- I , M ......
.n ah stations report a
very heavy excess above normal. Damage
by floods has been almost unprecedented.
The loss to crops by waahlng will be con
alderable, and much of the lowlanda will be
abandoned. Field work has been practically
Impossible except In a very few favored
localities. There la great need of dry,
warm weather to repair some measure of
the damagea and to secure cropa from the
uplands that have been planted. The acre
age of all cereal cropa must of necessity be
materially less thin tha area harvested
last year. Tha apple crop la promising.
Will Case Is Derided.
The supreme court today tiled additional
opinions on appeal cases. The delay waa
due to tha fact that the court became
badly scattered, on account of the flooda

Those who have ever felt its keen, cutting pains, or witnessed the intense
suffering of others, know that Rheumatism is torture, and that it is rightly
called "The King of Tain."
All do not suffer alike. Some are suddenly seized with the most excrucia
ting pains, and it seems every muscle and joint in the body was being torn
asunder. Others feci only occasional slight pains for weeks or months, when-
a sudden change ia the weather or exposure to damp, chilly winds or night
air brings on a fierce attack, lasting for days perhaps" and leaving the patient

An acid, polluted condition of the blood is the cause of every form and
variety of Rheumatism, Muscular, Articular, Acute, Chronic, Inflammatory
and Sciatic, and the blood must be purged and purified before there is an
end to your aches and pains. External applications, the use of liniments and
plasters do much toward temporary relief, but such treatment does not reach
the real cause or cleanse the diseased blood ; but S. S. S., the greatest of all
blood purifiers and tonics, does cure Rheumatism by antidoting and neutralizing
the poisonous acids and building up the weak and sluggish blood. It is safe
