Renomina'bn of l)ell G. Morgan for Mayor
ii Genera 1 Conceded.
OLSON AND L0UGEE ALDERMEN-AT-LARGE
Democrats Take I s I.aelns Wells for
Mayor and Fight Is Between lllm
and Dr. Ionala Macrea, Jr.,
for the Nomination.
That Mayor Dell U. Morgan will be ac
corded a renomlnatlon by the republicans Is
now generally conceded, and Alderman E.
H. Lougee, who has been repeatedly men
tioned In connection with the mayoralty
nomination, will tie nominated for alder-man-at-large,
with Alderman John Olson
as his running mate, the latter s renoml
natlon being assured.
At the meeting of the Scandinavian Re
publican club resolutions Indorsing the re
nomination of Mayor Morgan and the nomi
nation of Alderman Lougee for alderman-at-large
were enthusiastically adopted. The
club also Indorsed the nomination of J. A.
Oorham for city assessor.
City Auditor Evans has announced his
willingness to accept a renomlnatlon at the
hands of the republican city convention.
At the opening of the municipal campaign
Mr. Evans, having arranged to leave Coun
cil Bluffs In the spring, stated he would not
be a candidate for the office of city audi
tor again. Recently unforeseen circum
stances have caused him to alter his plans
and he now expects to remain In Council
Bluffs. In view, however, of his former
announcement that be wpuld not seek a
renomlnatlon, Mr. Evans says he will not
make any fight for the nomination, but if
tendered him he will gladly accept It.
In the Fourth ward H. F. Knudson, who
announced himself a candidate for the re
publican nomination for alderman, has
withdrawn from the race owing to the de
mands of his business on his time.' In his
place, however, Ed Ford has entered the

aldermanlc nomination from this ward.
A. O. Clawson, who was a candidate for
the republican nomination for alderman
In the Sixth ward, announced yesterday
that owing to his brother's serious Illness
he had been compelled to withdraw from
the race. John M. Harden, another aspir
ant for aldermanlc honors In this ward,
who was reported to have withdrawn, an
nounces that he la still In the ring and has
no Intention of withdrawing, as he Is a
"stand patter."
The name of Lucius Wells Is to be heard
with considerably frequency these days In
connection with the democratic nomination
for mayor. Friends of Mr. Wells say that
he would accept the nomination. Recent
developments Indicate that the democratic
mayoralty nomination now lies between
Mr. Wells and Dr. Macrae.
J. W. Bell and Peter (smith have been sn
nounced as candidates for the democratic
nomination for city auditor, and that
Mathew Hlggeson will be content with a
renomlnatlon for weighmaster.
Captain J. J. Rrown and Robert Rain are
reported to be the latest aspirants for the
democratic nomination -for park commis
sioner.
Some new candidates for . democratic
nominations for alderman have come to
the front In the last few days. John Gar
ner Is announced as a candidate In tha
Flrat ward, 8. O. Underwood and Charles
Paschel In the Fourth and C. C. Larsen in
the Fifth.
I.owder Case Is Settled.
A settlement of the Lowder $150,000 per
sonal Injury damage suit against the Bur
lington railroad brought the work of the
federal court yesterday almost, to a stand
still and Judge McPherson dismissed the
petit Jury until May 3. Court, however.
will not be adjourned until some day next
week, as Judge McPherson has arranged
to hold a heating Monday In the long
drawn-out "Oxydonor" cose from Des
Moines.
The settlement In the Lowder suit was
reached after a Jury had been Impaneled
but before counsel made their opening
statements. The railroad company offered
to consent to a Judgment for 14.000 and
the offer was accepted. Mrs. Addle L.
Lowder, wife of John W. Lewder, at pres
ent a resident of thla city, was injured in
the wreck on the Burlington at Thayer,
la.. In May, 1901. Three suits, each for
160,000, were brought against the railroad,
one by John W. Lowder, the husband, for
himself, the second by Lowder as admin
istrator of his wife's estate and the third
by H. W. Proctor, guardian of Mrs. Low
der, who had been declared Inaane. By
agreement the three suits had been com
bined for the purpose of the trial.
The case against Oeorge L. Wilkinson,
postmaster at Neola, Indicted on a charge
of unlawfully withholding mall of the
Neola . Reporter, was continued to next
term.
The trial of Henry Ertx of Carroll,
charged with sending an obscene letter
through the mall, was continued to next
term, Erts being released on t&OO ball.
The Injunction suit of W. E. Nestlehoude
against Attorney 8. B. Wadsworth, arising
out of the recent saloon fight, was dis
missed at plaintiff's cost.
The suit of James Doddridge and others
against the Novelty Manufacturing com
pany of this city and W. I. Walker was
dismissed.
Attorney Thomas H. Mllner of Belle
Plalne, la., counsel for J. i. Gregory, now
serving a twenty years' " sentence In tha
Fort Madison penitentiary under the state
habitual criminal act, submitted before
Judge McPberso.i hla application for a writ
of habeas corpus to secure his client's re
lease from prison, on the grounds that the
set under which he was committed waa
unconstitutional. Attorney Mllner took tha
stand tht the law Is unconstitutional In
that It In fact provided a second sentence
for previous crimes expiated by the person
committing them, by serving the sentences
Imposed for their commission, and, further.
that It provided a punishment In excess of
the punishment provided by law for the
crimes separately. County Attorney Kill-
pack, who appeared for the state, took the
ground that the objections raised by Greg
ory's counsel were purely questions for the
state court. He contended that the habit
ual criminal act did not provide a second
punishment for crimes for which a person
nad previously been convicted, but was In
tended to. and In fact did. provide a more
severe punishment for a man who had vlo.

MASY CASKS WIPED PROD POCKET.
Judae Thornell Dismisses All Which
Have Gathered Moss.
Judge Thornell wielded his blue pencil
with considerable vigor yesterday with
the result that over 100 cases which have
been encumbering the district court docket
for a year or longer without being brought
to trial were stricken from the calendar.
This work kept the court busy practically
the entire afternoon.
The hearing on the motion for a new
trial In the case of W. C. Rogers, con
victed of murder In the second degree for
the killing of Saloon Keeper Bert Forney,
was again postponed, this time on the ap
plication of the attorneys for the defend
ant and the court fixed it for this morn
ing. Intimating that no further continu
ance would be granted. The counter affl
davita filed by Aaslstant County Attorney
Hess In rebuttal of the affidavits filed by
Rogers' attorneys took the latter some
what by surprise and they told the court
they needed time to examine them and
secure evidence to refute them.
Regarding the affidavit of W. I.. Trus
sell, the Northwestern railroad tower man,
counsel for Rogers In their motion yes
terday for a continuance of the hearing
state they will bo able to prove that the
police were misinformed and that when
Trussell was questioned by them he was
busy with his duties in the watch tower
and had not tlmo to go Into details. They
say they will also show that Trussell was
never asked before to make a full state
ment of what he knew about the shooting
of Forney.
As to the counter affidavit of John Burke,
filed by the assistant county attorney,
Rogers' counsel state they will show that
Burke went to the saloon of J. W. Pinell
to use the telephone Just after the shoot
ing and that he said there that he had
been sent by the tower watchman to tele
phone the police, as Forney had been shot.
The hearing of the suit brought by Mrs.
W. C. Kecllne against A. A. Clark to
S'-t aside the deed to the Keeline property
on East Broadway, which she claims she
was forced to sign under threats by her
husband, was concluded yesterday and
Judge Thornell took the matter under ad
vlaement. It Is doubtful if Judge Thornell will he
able to complete the work of this term of
court this week as he had hoped.

1'uUoiilng Case.
(From a Staff Correspondent.)
DES MOINES. Msrch 10. (Special. )-The
general assembly received a report today
from a special committee on the msnu
facture of binding twine, In which the
committee strongly recommended that the
state make an appropriation of about $10,
000 for the establishment of a plant for
the manufacture of twine at Anamosa
penitentiary. The committee gave a com
putation showing that the making of
twine st the penitentiary by convict labor
to supply the neods of the farmers ol
Iowa would effect a saving of at least
ItOO.ono from the prices charged by the
harvester trust for twine In Iowa. The
report Included statements furnished by
the warden of the penitentiary In Minne
sota showing the accomplishments of the
state twine-mnklng factory there, the prof
Its to the state and the prices at which
twine has been sold. It would give em
ployment to about ?00 convicts at Ana
mosa; the work does not come Into com
petition with free labor; the buildings can
be erected by the convicts and the effect
In offsetting the extortions of the harvester
trust would be great. The same committee
reported adversely on any effort to work
the convicts on the highways of the state.
The committee consisted of Messrs. Tow
ers, DeLano, Young and Smith.
Hearing; as to Deaf School.
The expectation Is that a large delega
tion will come to the city next week from
Council Bluffs to oppose the removal of
the Deaf school, and there will be persons
here from Grlnnell to urge that If It is
removed, that city would be a candidate
for the location. The movement, so far as
It can be ascertained here, Is wholly from
the members of an association of deaf
persons who desire that the school shall
bo located nearer the center of the state.
The state offlolnls and those officially con
nected wtlh the school have manifested
very little Interest In the matter save as
called upon for Information, and the mem
beers of the legislature have not given the
matter serious consideration. It Is be
lieved that some effort will be made to
get It at Knoxvllle If there is to be a
change.
Extradition I.nw Lame.
Governor Cummins sent to the legislature
thla morning a special message In regard
to the requisition and extradition laws of
the state, anent the recent experience of
the state with regard to the case of Mrs.
Dy?. It was found, so he stated, that under
the law as it Is now, it is not possible to
legally issue extradition patters to take
Mrs. Dye back to South Dakota from the
fact that while she is accused of murder
In South Dakota by sending a box of
poisoned candy from Boone to a girl at
Pierre, which caused the death of the re
cipient, yet she had never been In South
Dakota and was not therefore a fugitive
from JuBtlce In that state. He recom
mended that tha law be amended so as to
provide for extradition In Just such cases
and not alone In cases of persons fleeing
from their states, and stated he had re
quested the attorney general to prepare a
bill covering the point which he would like
to have passed.
Old and New Lawmakers.
This afternoon the members of the Plo
neor Lawmakers' Association visited the
houses of the legislature by special In
vitation. They first went Into the house,
where they were given seats. There were
addresses by Representatives Blxby, Colclo
and Gregory and by Colonel B. F. Clayton,
General James B. Weaver and Cclonel
Moore, aergeant-at-arms. Later the mem
bers went to the senate, where a similar
program was carried out, and they were
welcomed by Senator Tnrner and others
and there were Impromptu responses.
Lake Beds Sale.
Tho house at the morning session passed
no bills. The Robinson bill to dispose of
the lake beds of the state and to place It
In the power of the executive oounoll to
close up a bothersome question of long
standing, was discussed at length and
finally referred to the Judiciary committee
after some amendments were accepted.
The Chassell bill to provide greater safe
guards for the formation of mutual Insur
ance companies and to require them to
reinsure during the period of formation
all the business which they take, was de
feated, !S to 66. The argument In oppo
sition was to the effect that all such In
surance Is valueless and there should be
no encouragement to the formation of mu
tual companies.
Senate Session.
The morning session of the senate was
for the most part a quiet and rather unin
teresting affair. Beyond the communication
from Governor Cummins on the desired
amendments to tho extradition laws and
the reading of the legislative committee re
port regarding the advisability of manufac
turing binding twine at the Iowa peniten
tiary, little of Interest occurred.
Three bills were passed, no opposition de
veloping to any of them. Lambert's bill
amending the fish and game laws so as to
provide that no bass of any kind may be
taken or killed out of season was adopted.
Warren's bill to provide for the classifi
cation of teachers' certificates was sdopted.
The bill does away with the annoyance of
frequent examinations for a teacher hold
ing a first grade certificate, and regulates
the examinations of holders of second and
third grade certificates.
A bill giving cities of the second class snd
towns the rUht to vote a tax for the erec
tion of public buildings waa, after being
slightly amended, adopted. It had already
passed the house, but will have to go back
for concurrence In the senate amendments.
Pioneer Iowa Lawmakers.
At the meeting of the Pioneer Lawmak
ers' association in the historical building
this forenoon a series of resolutions were
adopted. Including one recommending the
erection of a monument to the memory of
Ansel Briggs, the first governor of ths
state, and the bringing of his remains to
Iowa from Omaha, where he died and waa
burled. The resolutions also favored the
early completion of the state historical
building and prayed for the early, complete
recovery to health of Curator Charles Ald

MAY FIND LOST ROGERS CHILD
Arrest of 1'ncle at Chicago Expected
to Lead to Its Re
covery. CHICAGO. March 10. The arrest of
"Kid" Ely at Buffalo, N. Y., It .Is believed
here, may reveal the hiding- place of Miss
Florence Ely and the child, Frank Ely
Rogers, who disappeared In 1S01 from tho
home of James C. Rogers, a wealthy resi
dent of Evanston. Ely, w ho Is a brother of
Miss Ely and is an uncle of th? child, is
charged with picking pockets. The pris
oner Is thought to have been providing
his sister snd nephew with funds and to
have directed them to refuge In Canada,
where they are now alleged to be, close to
Niagara Falls.
Search for the child and aunt have been
conducted on the theory that Ely had
planned the flights from a penitentiary ceil
at Wethersfleld, Conn., and that the neces
sary money had been advanced by a
woman companion.
Vengeance against Rogers' family for
having cut him off. after aiding him for
years, is the alleged motive.
NEGRO ROUSTABOUTSTOSE OUT
White Crews Hired to Take Place of
Strikers on Mississippi
Packet.
ST. IUI8, March 10. A strike of negro
roustabouts, to enforce a demanded In
crease of wages from $S a month to $75, a
few minutes before the scheduled time for
the departure of the steamer Gray Eagle
today, resulted In the lilting of forty Aus
trlans through an employment agency, and
rlvermen declare this move marks the be
ginning of the passing of roustabouts.
Other packet lines say they will follow the
lead of the Eagle Packet company and
hire white crews.
The roustabout question has grown to
serious proportions within the last year,
as the negroes have frequently demanded
excessive wages Just prior to the time set
for departure of steamers, and rather than
delay leaving the steamer companies have
been forced to meet the demands.
La Grippe Cared by Chamberlain's

of la grippe of recent years no. case has
ever been known to result In pneumonia
which shows exclusively that It Is a certain
preventive of that dangerous disease. Price

nterEczema
Winter Eczema, sometimes called Dry Eczema, or Tetter,
is one of the severest forms of this most torturing and aggra
vating of all skin diseases. As cold weather approaches the
skin thickens and hardens, cracks and bleeds, and in bad
cases cruets and sores form and the parts affected become
intensely painful, tender and swollen. The itching-, burning
and smarting is so terrific at times that the sufferer is made
almost desperate, and the nerves are so unstrung that Bleep is

QUIET NOW REIGNS AT SPRINGFIELD
Eighteen Companies of Slate Mllltla
Are Present to Preserve Order
and Mob Has lleen
Dispersed.
SPRINGFIELD, O.. March lo -This city
last night passed Its liist peaceful night
of the week. While there was much
anxiety during the night, owing to the
demonstrations In tho afternoon and even
ing, there is such a restoration of confi
dence todiiy that normal conditions pre
vail. Shops which have run short-handed
thla week and some forced to close yester
day are all running ns usual today. Those
who have been augmenting the crowds
In the streets are back at work, while
eighteen companies of mllltla occupy the
public places and the streets.
The trouble started last Sunday morning
when Richard Dixon, colored, killed Of
ficer Collls, and it ended today with the
impressive funeral services over the boJy
of Sergeant Collls at St Raphael's Catholic
church. General McMakln and Colonel
Mead, with eighteen companies of militia,
supplied patrols for the city, so that the
entire police force, with all the city end
county officials, were In attendance. Some
of the soldiers also attended. Only a
small part of the populace about the
church could gain admlttnnce.
The mob-swept districts along the lovee,
the public buildings snd all probable points
of trouble are today strongly guarded by
troops. The west end of the levee that was
raided yesterday afternoon and completely
dismantled attracts more visitors than the
"burned district."
All the colored occupants of both districts
are gone and nono know where they are
now. While no negroes were out last
night, many are on the streets today. It Is
known that many negroes who have been
unable to reach other cities slept out In
the country last night. There has been
much apprehension over what the negroes
might do after the troops leave, but that
anxiety Is now lees Intense, as both whites
and negroes seem to have had enough
of mobs this week. While the licenses of
colored dealers were revoked yesterday,
all saloons are still kept closed. The
troops last night kept the crowds on the
move and finally dispersed them altogether.
After a conference between the civil and
military authorities today it was decided
not to ask Governor Horrlck to relieve any
troops until tomorrow, and then the with
drawal will be gradual. The mobs have
Intimated that they would finlBh the Job,
but It Is evident that no more Incendiary
work would be done, although less than
half of the "odious dives" have been
burned.
This city Is the headqunrters of the "Na
tional Anti-Mob and Lynch Law associa
tion," that meets monthly and always
adopts resolutions whi n lynchlngs occur In
any part of the country. It clalms SO.00O
members In branches throughout the
Tnlted States. Springfield is also the home
of ex-Representative Stewart, author of
the Ohio statute providing heavy penalties
for those participating In lynchlngs.
A determined effort will be made by Judge
Mower and Prosecutor McGrew to procure
the Indictment of tbe leading members of
the mob who lynched Dixon. I'nder a
state law tin attempt, successful or other
wise, to take a prisoner from the authori
ties Is a felony punishable by one to ten
years in the penitentiary. It la asserted
that evidence enough has now been se
cured to procure the Indictment of at least
twenty men under this statute.
