COUNCIL1 BLUFFS
IIIMIAS TALKS FOR BURNS
Address Likely to Occupy Another Day and
s Half in Delivery.
FIRES SOME HOT SHOT AT PLAINTIFF
Denies There la Any Evidence to
show a Partnership Existed Be
terpen Barna and Doyle In
Claims 1st Controversy,
Attorney C. 8. Thomas began yesterday
morning the opening argument for the de
fense in the Doyle-Burns suit and the
expectation la that it will be Friday noon
before he will close. At the former trial
Congressman Smith made the opening and
Senator Patterson the closing argument for
the defense Senator Patterson, however,
will not be heard at this trial, as Con
gressman Smith is booked to follow Mr,
Thomas and make the closing argument.
Mr. Thomaa' line of argument yeater
day was that there never existed any part
nership between Doyle and Burns and
that Burns never entered Into contract
with Doyle whereby the latter was to
share In any of the claims ' that he,
Burns, had located 'or might locate.
Opening his argument he said after a
short preface: "I want to say at the
opening thnt this Is a case conceived in
sin and brought forth in iniquity and that
it is brought In the state of Iowa becauso
the plaintiff knows that In his own home,
beforean Jury of his own countrymen and
In the courts of his own commonwealth,
his case would not stand the test for an
hour. That Is the reason why there has
been imported into this Jurisdiction this
case to be submitted to this jury."
After conceding that the basis of the
suit was the question whether a partner
ship such as is claimed by the plaintiff
existed between Doyle and Burns, Mr.
Thomas said:
"The contract claimed has not even been
remotely proven either to have been made
on or immediately after February 2, 1892,
or at any time thereafter. The contract
as originally stated Imposes no obligation
on Mr. Doyle whatever. All he had to do
was to go and -help himself to what Mr.
Burns had or might thereafter obtain."
Denying absolutely that any contract
of partnership in any shape, manner or
form was ever entered into between Doyle
and Burns, Mr. Thomas argued that what
ever work Doyle may have done for Burns
on any of the three claims Involved In
the suit had been paid for by Burns either
in cash or In return work. Referring to
the famous "memorandum" book of Burns,
introduced at this trial by the plaintiff,
Mr. Thomas argued that the book itself
was sufficient evidence to deny Doyle's
claim and to, prove that what work he had
done he had been hired to do and had
been paid for it, as were other men em
ployed by the defendant and whose names
also appear in this memorandum or time
book.
At adjournment of court yesterday aft
ernoon there was some talk of lengthening
the sessions to twelve hours by holding
Why Endure Pain
the excruciating misery of blind, bleeding,
itching piles, when there is an absolute cure f
Dr. Perrin's Pile Specific is an internal
remedy that painlessly produces a positive
and lasting cure. , Pleasant to the taste, it

Bluffs Mea Are Honored.
Delegates from this city to the Iowa
grand council of the Royal Arcanum at
Waterloo returned yesterday morning. Al
though not successful In securing next
year's meeting for this city, the local coun
cil got several Important offices In the
grand council. Charles A. Beno was re
elected grand vice regent, and the same
honor befell A. E. Brock, grand treasurer,
and George H. Nlcoll, grand trustee. A. T.
KUcklhger was re-electexl chairman of tha
committee on laws and J. H. Arthur to the
committee on literature.
While at Waterloo the delegation did
some good boosting for the firemen's tour
nament to be held In this city In June.
Waterloo has only recently developed from
a volunteer to a paid Are department, and
as It possesses but two companies, will be
unable to send a team to the tournament.
The delegation, however, was assured by
the city authorities that the city would be
well represented here, as tlie members of
the fire committee and several of the fire
men would attend and take part In the
big parade.

8. C. Harlow, an old and prominent, cltl
sen of Pottawattamie county, living at
Avoca, left his home Tuesday morning to
go hunting. He was alone and when he
failed to' return that evening the family
became alarmed and a aearch was Insti
tuted. Several miles from town, cloae to
the banks of the Nlshnabotna river, Har
low's body was found. He had apparently
been dead for several hijirs and It Is sup
posed death resulted from apoplexy, as
there was no evidence of an accident or
foul play. Harlow's gun was found lying
by his side.
Notice of Harlow's death was sent yes
terday morning to Coroner Treynor, but
the latter Waa out of the city. It Is not
likely, however, that any Inquest will be
deemed necessary.
The funeral will be held Friday afternoon
from the family home In Avoca and will
be under the auspices of the Masonlo lodge
of that city. A number of friends from
this city, Including H. V. Battey, clerk of
tho district court, and County Treasurer

The remains of Richard McWtlllama, ex

visiting a young woman In a Colorado town.
His dead body was found later at a hotel
with a bullet thtough his heart and an
other close beside It. The remains were
sent to Mount Ayr and burled without

NEBRASKA LOSES ESTATE
Iowa Supreme Court Isoldes Against
Children of Florenoe Man.
TWENTY-FIVE MILLION DOLLARS IN TAXES
Schools Abaorb Over One-TRIrd of
All the Money Collected In the .
State of I own, with
Cltlea Kest.
(From a Staff Correspondent.)
DES MOINES, April lJ.-l9peclal )-By a
decision of the supreme court handed down
today the two children of William Fred
erick Parker, who resided at Florence,
Neb., will not share In the will of their
grandfather, J. Monroe Parker, who died
at Davenport Some years ago. The estate
was a large one. William Frederick Parker,
one of the three children, resided at
Florence with Pauline Frasslnet, and two
children were bom to them. The father
left his vast estate, some .of which is In
land In Nebraska, to his children, to be
held by trustees. In case Of the death of
any without lawful ISsue the share waa to
be divided equally among the living child
ren or their lawful issue. - One son died
without Issue. The question before the
court was whether or not WIlMam - Fred
erick Parker and Pauline Frnsslnet were
ever lawfully married. The court holds
that they were not. though they lived to-.
gether from 1886 till the death of William
In 191)2. The court holds 'that though the
father recognised the oldest of the two
sons In writing, and though he verbally ac
knowledged both to be his children, under
the terms of the will they cannot share In
the distribution ot the estate. The entire
estate will, under this decision, go to the
surviving son. In the decision of the court
It Is pointed out that William at all times
treated Pauline Frasslnet as his house
keeper and never referred to her as his
wife, but paid her $4 a week wages and
kept a careful account of the money he
paid her, always deducting for time that
she lost. They lived under his idea of mar
riage that It Is a civil contract.
Totals of Tas Levy,
Taxpayers of Iowa must contribute $:B,
893.842.68 to the support of school, munici
pal, city and state government this year.
This sum Includes all the taxes levied In
the state on the 1904 valuations, excVt
special improvement taxes in cities and the
mulct tax law. It Is not quite $100,000 more
than the tax levy for last year, which was
126,598,613.68.
Of the tax collection, by far the largest
sum goes t district schools, which will re
ceive $9,332,807.65. The county school fund
will also receive $6:9200.14.
The counties will get $2,644,036.16. while
the municipalities of the stnte require $4,
021,626.16. The state Itself gets $1,919,263.67.
Selling; State Lands.
In the land office of the Secretary of
state today the Island In the Missouri rlvc-r
south of Sioux City and near Sergeant
Bluffs is being sold. There are several,
persons In the city to bid on the land. The
Island contains about 533 acres, and Henry
Oehlerklng, one of the squatters, made a
bid for a large part of the land. Accord
ing to a peculiar provision of the law he
can take the entire tract at the appraised
valuation of $7,673.23 If he wishes, even
though others bid much, higher. The Cut
off land case from Coancit Bluffs comes
under the same law and the secretary of
state will ask the next legislature to change
the law. . , .'j a. ;
Lee Sets Fire It. Jail.
Harry Lee of Omaha, wanted in that city
for robbery of a diamond from a Mr. Can
non, attempted a jail delivery today by
setting fire to the city Jail,. The flames were
fed by timbers which were shoved through
the bars of the Jajl by some one outside.
Lee was caught when the flames were lick
ing the rafters. He was placed in a cage,
awaiting the time when Detective Maloney
starts back with him. The Are damage
was small.

NEW CITY STREET LIGHTING
Contract with Electric Company
Makes a Problem for f
" Council.
Councllmen have not yet started to make
arrangements for the location of the 125
new arc lamps which will be available
under the new $75 contract with the light
ing company. Although , the number of
lamps required to bring the total up to the
minimum of 600 specified In the contract
Is only sixty-one, the cut In the price will
give more than double this number with
out using more money than has hereto
fore been paid out for electric street lights,
or $49,800 annually. The Third ward la
fully equipped with arc lamps, unless the
proposed iron pole Installation will make
additional lights necessary to get the same
results now obtained by intersection sus
pension. Without this contingency 125
lamps will be left for distribution among
eight wards, giving them .fifteen apiece.
Little has been said as to the plan for
distributing the new arc lamps, but it has
been proposed to make them displace as
many gasoline lamps as possible and, per
haps, a few gas lamps. In. the suburbs,
it is declared, one arc lamp can give more
efficient results than halt a dosen gasoline
lights, which cost the, city $28 a yeur each.
Nothing can be learned as to when the
gas company Intends to submit its propo
sition for a new contract. It U said that
the ordinance will be held back until Act
ing Mayor SSImman Is out of the chief ex
ecutive's chair, as his hostility to the gas
company is recognised as having consid

power. There are conflicting reports as to
when Mayor Moores Wfjl return. One has
it that he and Mrs. .Moores will be back
as soon as warm weather Is a sure thing
here, while apparently well authenticated
gossip has It that the mayor will not be
back Before June 1, as he and his bride

UNITED PRESBYTERIANS MEET
Her. Dr. Tnrnbnll C horn Moderator
for the Coming; Year at
Tuesday's Session,
Rev. D. R. Turnbull, was elected mod
erator for the coming year to succeed Rev.
W. E. Dunlap at yesterday's session of the
United I'restiyterlan church In the Central
church, corner of Twenty-fourth and Dodge
streets. Rev. Andrew Ronwlck of South
Omaha was elected clerk. There were
about twenty delegates from different parts
of the presbytery.
The .business before the presbytery Is of
a routine character, no question of sing
ular importance having arisen requiring at
tention. The business relates mainly to
home mlslons, and the amounts that will
t given to the various missions. An ap
propriation will be made during thla sitting
of the presbytery In aid of the construction
of a church at Ewlng, Neb.
There was a conference last night on the
activities of the church, at which addresses
were made showing with circumstantial
exactness the results of ihurch work in the
presbytery.
At last evening's session of the Vnlted
Presbyterian presbytery of the Omaha dis
trict In the Central church the subject
of the activities of the church was gen
erally discussed by the delegates. The
discussion related to Sunday achools, the
Young People's and the Woman's Mission
ary societies and the rrayer and social
meetings. Rev. C. M. Rilclile, pastor of
North Bend church, made the principal
address on Sunday schools. Mrs. French
read a report on Woman's Missionary- so
cieties. These societies have been in ex
istence for twenty years; their- receipts
aggregate $120,000, and they support mis
sionaries all over the world. The society
at large supports fifty woman missionaries
in foreign fields, five of whom are physi
cians. The plon that each member of the
societies should contribute 1 cent a day
for a year has resulted in the collection
of a .fund of nearly $.12,000. One missionary
In Egypt Is supported by the United Fres
byterlans of Omaha. Prof. McLean spoke
on tjie social meetings of the church.
AlthougH It Is has not been definitely
agreed upon, it Is probable a call will be
extended by the Central church of Omaha
to Rev. Ralph Atkinson of Sparta, lit Rev.
C. M. Ritchie has received a call from
the church at North Bend nnd Rev. H. B.
Taylor to the church at Ewlng. Rev. Tyler
and Elder W. A. Montgomery asked that
a donation- of $750 and a loan of a like
sum be made from the church extension
fund : for a new church at Ewlng, Neb.
After some discussion It was agreed to
donate $600 and to loan $600. The church
will cost about $2,000.
The concluding session of the presbytery
will be held this forenoon, at which the
election of officers will be completed.

Sues Sootii Omaha i School Board.
Leonard A. Davis has filed a suit mrnlnnt
the school ' district of South Omaha for
$5,270.40. This Is claimed as a balance due
for services as architect for the board In
the. three years following his first appoint
ment In June, 1900. Some time ago the
board sued Mr. Davis to recover the sum
of $1,900 and in doing so made some quite
serious allegations. Judge Katelle took the
case from the Jury and ordered a verdict
for defendant in that case.
In his petition for the hnlnncn claimed to
be due him Mr. Davis sets out the facts
concerning his appointment as architect by
the school board and tells how he drew
plans for a high school which were ac
cepted by the hoard which ordered them,
hut were rejected by a succeeding board.
He alleges that he was to have a certain
percentage on all repairs aa well as on now
work, and he figures this at the amount
given.

giveB him all thaf ts asked and which the
court has not barred In its instructions to
the Jury. f
During his closing argument Mr. Connell
had to undergo some cross-fire from tho
city attorney which aggravated him to
some extent, but he closed in a very earnest
plea for his clU-nt without any oratorical
fireworks to speak of.
The Jury plainly has been showing signs
of weariness In these last few days. The
case opened on Monday, March 20, nnd with
the exception of three or four days has
been going on without intermission;
