Tom Dennison ha furnished bonds for
Ma appearance for trial In tb Iowa courts
on the two Indictments now pending
against him In Harrison county. Both
bond wfr signed by Ernest E. Hart, pres
ident, and J. P. Oreenshirlds. vice presi
dent, of the First National bank of this
city, and were approved by Clerk Baird
f the district court of Pottawattamie
county.
It la said that almost the sole topic of
conversation In Logan, the county seat of
Harrison county. Is Dennison and the in
dictments, and that fact. It Is believed,
will be made ground for a motion for a
change of venue by Dennison s attorneys.
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. Edmundson, who Is now In Florence,
Italy, has written a letter to a friend In
Council Bluffs regarding a donation which
rumors have credited him with the inten
tion of making to th Council Bluffs gen
eral hospital, until recently known as the
W. C. A. According to these rumors Mr.
Edmundson haa been thinking of giving the
hospital th money with which to put up its
to posed new building. In th letter Just
received he gives renewed assurances of
nla-?Anterest In th work of th hospital,
. defer making any definite proposition
until his return to this city, which will b
In April, on tha ground that plans may be
discussed -rnor freely and an agreement
reached more satisfactorily at short rang
than when be Is In a foreign land. While
th letter waa evidently written without
th knowledge of the recent change which
baa taken place In th hospital manage
ment. It la not thought that this change
will alter hi plans, and th friends of
th Institution are much elated over the
prospect of receiving substantial aid from
him.

SPRINGFIELD, LI.. 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. On assault ha already been recorded
as a conseuenc of the Comerford charges.
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.'

of the rharges made yesterday In Wash

ths Romas Catholic church had endeavoied
lo infunnee the senator's action In the
nuuusr of distribution at India funds by
the promise of political support. Th bishop
said:
The charges are absurd. In the first

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

The bishop stated that Scharff. whom
Senator Bard said was his informant, r.sd
caused previous trouble by representations
regarding hi connection with Catf.ollo In

CZAR SEES WORKMEN
(Continued from First Psge.)
yesterday, M. Souvorln, editor of
the Novo Vrtmya, In that paper this
morning conies out strongly In favor of a
xemsky Zabor (old land parliament), which,
he declares, will not only maintain, but
will strengthen autocracy. It would be a
channel of communication between the
sovereign and the people, without which
It would be Impossible to have lasting
reforms.
After leaving the palace the deputation
proceeded to a neighboring church, where
they prayed, and. after kissing ikons,
placed lighted candles before the shrine.
Subsequently they were given dinner in a
building which formerly was the high
school of Tsarskoe Seloe.
One of the members of the deputation
proposed the health of the emperor, which
was drunk with cheers.
At 4:10 p. m. the delegates drove to the
Imperial pavilion, whence they took a
train for St. Petersburg.
Employers Make Concessions.
Ths Association of St. Petersburg Manu
facturers has adopted the following reso
lutions: First All points of the men's demands
concerning the eight-hour oay, participa
tion of tne men in fixing pay tor piece

ings of factories, etc., shall not be Dis

Inadvisable till the men have resumed
work.
'i hlrd Recognising that the, men, were
drawn Into tne movement by other than
econcmlc causes, the association unani
mously voted that no mutual bitterness
exists, and has therefore .decided to meet
the workmen, not to apply the penalties
for wasted time, not to endeavor to dis
cover the Instigators and loaders of- the
strike or to employ special mo. inures agalnfct
them snd to collect funds for the support
of the families of the victims, and In this
respect to make no difference between vol
untary and coerced strikera.
Fourth The association, In order not to
Create a precedent by paying workmen for
the time they have been engaged in the

sitous which need not be repaid.
Warsaw is daSet.
WARSAW. Feb. L (Noon.) The city Is
quiet, although great tension still pre
vails. Some stores and offices have been
reopened, but only two newspapers were
published this morning. The strike has
extended to the sugar refineries and other
factories In the districts around Warsaw.
The troops guarding the Warsaw-Vienna
ralrroad are fearing an outrage on the part
of the strikers. On the Vienna-Vistula
line freight trains has been stopped. Police
proclamations have been torn down and
carried off, while the Russian names of
streets have been daubed over with paint.
8:22 p. m Warsaw at present Is quiet.
Traffic and business have been partially re
sumed. The shops in the principal thor
oughfares are still boarded up and but few
soldiers are visible In the streets. Public
and official confidence, however, is not re
stored and there Is a degree of uncertainty
regarding the situation.
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.

, 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."
