The fact of bis having th bonds approved here leads to the supposition that when the ease comes up tor trial It will be in the district court of this county. Banting Main Floods Cellars. H. E. Knudsen. whd runs a grocery and bakashop at toe South Main street, had an exciting time yesterday afternoon fighting flood of water which filled his cellar, along with those of several other merchants In th neighborhood. One of the big water mains In the middle of the street broke snd In a short time KnuJens cellar was full. He had 600 bushels of potatoes stored away, and these he fears will be an entire loss, as th cold weather of th night frose them. Besides the potatoes, there was a lot of turnips, beets, cabbags and other vegetables. T'.e Hood alto penetrated Into the adjoining building, where Knudsen'a bakery Is located, and covered his oven and all the other paraphernalia. A force of men was put at work pumping the water out, but In spite of their efforts damage to th amount of BOO was sustained. Julius ICat el man of the Council Bluffs Junk House also had hla cellar full, but as It contained mostly old rags, bottles and Junk of various sorts his damuge was alight. Peter Larsen, who has a shoe shop at 733 South Main street, was another victim, and th cellnr waa filled at No. 1 engine house at the corner of Main street and Eighth avenue. In the last ten days there have been three other serious breakages of water mains and the officials of the water com pany are at a loss to account for them. The mains are burled five or six feet below th surface of the ground and are supposed to be below the influence of the cold. The abutting off of the water while repairs were being mad has been the caus of no little Inconvenience to th patron of th com pany. Edssaadsen May Ala Hospital. J. D.

Feb. l.-An up heaval in th Illinois legislature, possibly rivalling the recent boodllr.g exposure In the legislaturs of Missouri, may be the outcome of an address made by Represen tative Frank D. Comerford of Chicago, 0 the students of the Illinois college of lsw a few days sgo. The general assembly today appointed a committee of seven to Investigate Mr. Comerford's charges, which are reported a specificwlly slleglng "that the Illinois legislature Is a great public auction, where special privileges sre sold to tee highest corporation bidder and that without respect to party affiliations the grafters' seem to b in the majority." The investigating committee Is em powered to bring before it Representative Comerford and cause him to testify ss to what he knows of the alleged wholesale corruption. When the resolution to Investigate came before the house today Mr. Comerford said: ' I w'll welcome this Investigation and I only hope the committee will be thorough and Impartial and as sincere as I am In this matter." Speaker Shurtleffe called Mr. Comerford to order several times, demanding that Mr. Comerford confine himself to the sub ject at hand. Members Go Armed. "I ask consent of the house lo ipeak Ave minutes on this subject," shouted Mr. Comerford. Amid much confusion a chorus of "noes" came from both side of th house. Then, Mr. Speaker, I am In favor of the adoption of the resolution," said Mr. Comerford. The resolution was carried unanimously. For the first time In the history of the legislature of Illinois In many years mem bers of the general assembly are walking about armed. Threats have been made against Representative Comerford, who acknowledges that he haa a revolver In his pockot to defend himself in an emerg ency.

James Burdette. a reporter for a Chicago paper, waa knocked down Just outside the entrance of the Leland hotel by alleged friends of one of the accused members. He waa roughly handled. Members of the legislature rescued him from the assail ants, who escaped arrest. The Investigation committee met this aft ernoon and Immediately went Into executive sesBlon. Soon afterward Representative Comerford was technically placed under arrest and summoned to appear before the committee. . Mr. Comerford protested strongly sgatnst executive session, but the committee not withstanding voted to exclude the press. Mr. Comerford also demanded that he be allowed a stenographer at his own expense. Comerford Desires Time. After some further debate the commit tee refused to allow Mr. Comerford a stenograper or to reconsider the action In regard to closed sessions. The commute desired Mr. Comerford to prceed at once with what proof he had of his charges. This he was not pre pared to do and Insisted that he be allowed to go to Chicago, get his copy of the speech and prepare hi proof. "The grand Jury Is in session here," said Mr. Comerford to the newspsper men out side. "If I can't get a fair hearing before this commute I will take the matter before that body. I also reserve the right to make public these proceedings as affecting me." Adjourns I'ntll Monday. After being In session for over two hours th investigating committee adjourned until Monday. Mr. Comerford was finally allowed until that time to prepare this cass and he went to Chicago this after noon. Mr. Comerford says he will be prepared . on Monday to substantiate the One charge made against members of the present assembly, that affecting the al leged use of money In a party caucus. Several witnesses will be subpoenaed by him for appearance before the Investigat ing committee Monday. Who the witnesses are Mr. Comerford refused to say, except that one .would be a member of the pres ent house. Th sessions of th Investigating com mittee will continue to be held behind closed doom.'

Docause we do not receive any government funds for use In the schools We taks care of our Indians without money. The Cstho llc church does nothing thnt Is not open and above board and the statement that a representative of a Cathclic association promised to carry certain districts for Senator Bard In consideration of a con tinuation of favorable contracts Is ridicu lously absurd.

HARVARD FACES BIG DEFICIT President Eliot Says Additional En dowment of $2,(MM,XK Is Needed at Once. CAMBRIDGE. Mass., Feb. 1. President Charles W. Eliot's report for the year 1902 1904, which was presented to the board of overseers of Harvard university at Its meeting of January 11, was made public today. The president states that there was a deficit of 130,000 In 1903-04 and predicts an Inevitable deficit in spite of considerable economies, In the current fiscal year. He names the two obvious resources, raising tuition fees and procuring a larger endow ment. The former resource, he believes, should be held In reserve. A larger endow ment, he declares, to be the pressing need of the college. The best form of endow ment. President Eliot says, is that for salaries. Two million, five hundred thou sand dollars is named by the president as a moderate estimate for the accomplishment of the reasonable object now plainly In view for the oollege proper. Regarding foot ball President Eliot says the main objection lies against Its moral quality. He says: To surprise, to smbuscsde and deceive the enemy, and Invariably to overwhelm a smaller force by a greater one, are the ex pected methods of war. But there is no justification for smch methods In a manly game of sport between friends. They are essentially ungenerous, and no sport Is wholesome In which ungenerous and mean acta, which easily' escape defection, con tribute to vlctoryr" w hether such acta be oc casional and Incidental or habitual. President Eliot acquits both the public and the average player of any liking for these foot ball evils.

No announcement officially had been made as to what course th author!- j Vvilor the Bowels jr ntSf - , i Drurjplstsf tie having th Dodge-Morse tangle investl gstion In hand would pursue, but It wss bmieved that an attempt would be made to supplement the evidence already In posses sion of the district attorney offloe by re quiring th appearance and testimony of Mors.

HAYES C0UNTY PROSPERITY Coaaty Attorney Ready Tell of the Growth of th "eetloa la Material Wealth. C. A. Ready, county attorney of Hayes county, Nebraska, gives an Interesting story of the conditions now prevailing In what was a few years ago known as the "arid belt." and then thought to be capable of raising only rattlesnakes, ccnti , pedes, sand burrs and Jack rabbits. He j says: "We hav not had an- absolute failure of ' crops in Hayes county since 1S94. though j there have been one or two dry spells ; there. Quarter sections of land that used ! to sell for 1100 above the mortgage can not be bought now for less than Il.oon. and there ars some quarters In the county that will bring $2,5u0. The old settlers who stayed by their land are now among the wealthiest of our people, and are among the most respected, too. Financially the county is In the very best of condition. We have $30,000 In the treasury, with 110. 000 in the general fund, and do not owe a dollar. "Sections of the county that were once thought to be as barren as the desert of Sahara are now smong the most produc tive. The Red Willow, Blackwood, Stlnk Ingwater and Frenchman valley land- are becoming great alfalfa producing sections, and over in the sand hill regions we raise as good corn and wheat as grows any where. There Is Just enough broken land In the county to afford fine stock ranches, the valleys and draws of which grow an abundance of the best of Ijlue stem grass, which 1 the finest range forage In the world. There still remains some buffalo range pastursge and the old bunch grass country feeds thousands of cattle. Hog raining has developed Into a big industry and many hundred head of hogs are shipped out of the county yearly. 'Our school system Is one of the best In the state, and our people generally wilt rank well In Intelligence with tho more favored and longer settled counties of the eastern part of Nebraska. In brief, Hayes county has emerged from Us old sandhill period and is rapidly becoming one of the finest agricultural regions of southwest Nebraska. It is a county of homes, and the people are loyal to It and have an abiding faith In Its grand future." ONE MORE CAD BILL FOUND Seeret Service of Treasury Depart ment Describes a Sew $10 Counterfeit.
