First Experinent Encourages Retailers to
Make it a Fiiture.
TWO SPECIAL DAYS IN EACH MONTH
More Attractions to Be Provided
Than on Previous Occasion Seat
Dates Are Fixed for May
18 and lit.
The Grand Spring Trade Opening and
Market day last Saturday having proved
such a successful venture In every respect.
It was decided last night at a well attended
meeting of the retail business men of the
city to repeat the experiment. The next
similar event waa fixed for Thursday and
Friday, May IS and 19, It being decided to
devote two days to It, Instead of one, and
not to hold It on a Saturday, the consensus
of opinion being that It interfered some
what with the regular Saturday trade.
Realising that It would be hardly appro
priate to designate the event a second time
ns a "grand spring trade opening," It was
decided to give It the official title of "Coun
cil Bluffs Market day," and as such it will
be widely advertised.
The market day next month will be on a
larger scale than the one last week, as the
general opinion expressed last night waa
that more amusements should be provided
for the out-of-town visitors. The commit
tee, having this In view, will endeavor to
secure several street attractions and the
market day will partake of the nature of a
country fair to some extent.
The meeting last night also discussed the
advisability of organizing; a retail mer
chants' association and those present ex
pressed themselves In favor of such a
movement. In order to have a larger rep
resentation of the retail Interests present
It waa decided to hold a mass meeting of
I the retail buslnesa men next Wednesday
night in the rooms of the Commercial club,
when the question can be more fully dis
cussed. In the meantime a comt',tee of
four, to be named by Charlea A. B,T 4, who
presided over last night's . meeting, will
canvass the retailers and urge them to at
tend. At the meeting last night a number of the
members of the Retail Grocers' and
Butchers' association were present. It being
their regular meeting night, and they ex
pressed the opinion that while they were
certain the members would be glad to Join
such an organization as the Retail Mer
chants' association they would not, they
believed, be willing to lose the Identity of
their organization.
On the former occasion Hewitt was fined
125 and costs, but arpealed to the district
court, where the case Is now pending.
Vpon the advice of City Solicitor Snyder
the case against Hewitt was dismissed yes
terday, and In the event of his falling to
abate the nuisance within twenty-four
hours an Information under the state law
will be filed against him.
Hewitt has displsyed considerable animus
against City Marshal Richmond personally
In this matter and yesterday threatened to
bring suit against him and his bondsmen
for $10,000 for what he designated false and
malicious arrest. Hewitt and his attorney,
J. J. Stewart, also made covert threats
that If the city continued to Insist that
Hewitt comply with Its demands the latter
would reartate by attacking the policy ot
the administration in connection with the
saloons and disorderly resorts.
Major Richmond and other city officials
declared their Intention of exhausting every
means at their command to compel Hewitt
to comply with the city ordinances, despite
any or all of the threats he or his attorney
might make.

ATTORXEY THOMAS STILL TAI.KI50
May Require Another Day to Com
plete Hla ArKament.
When Judge Thornell adjourned court for
the day at 4:30 o'clock yesterday afternoon
Attorney C. 8. Thomas, after speaking two
entire days, hd not completed the opening
argument for the defendant tn the Doyle
Burns suit. It was announced that Mr.
Thomas would take all of the forenoon
today and possibly the afternoon to
finish. Unless otherwise arranged there
will only be a morning session Saturday
and aa Congressman Smith, who will follow
Mr. Thomas, expects to occupy a day and
a half with the closing argument for the
defense. It will be Tuesday morning before
Mr. Baldwin can commence his closing ar
gument for the plaintiff. He Is expected to
speak the greater part of two days, so It
now looks as If the case cannot possibly go
to the Jury before next Thursday at the
earliest.
On resuming his argument yesterday
morning Mr. Thomas spent some time In
discussing the entries in the time book kept
by Burns In the earlier days on Battle
mountain, all of which he contended went
to show that whatever work Doyle did on
the claims In controversy waa paid for. He
then took up the evidence in chronological
order, handling without gloves the testi
mony of some of Doyle's witnesses. He
discussed In scathing terms especially the
testimony of John Kllday and Attorney
J. Maurice Finn.
Mr. Thomas atso dwelt at length on the
testimony and especially the affidavits of
Doyle In the several suits In Colorado, con
trasting them with his evidence in the
present suit. . -

DETAIL VOTE OS COLLEGE Ql'ESTIO
One of Trustees Resigns Becanae He
la Not Endorsed.
LAMONI, la., April 13. (Special Tele
gram J President Joseph Smith called the
general assembly of the world's confer
ence of Latter Day Saints to order today
promptly at' 2 p. m. The reading of the
minutes lndicaated that the resolution to
receive the majority and minority reports
of the committees on college, to spread the
same on the minutes without endorsement,
carried by a vote of 1,207 for and 697
against This comes in. the way of a com
promise, since neither report could have
been adopted without reflecting upon the
men who presented the other, thus the
conference has tacitly accepted the work
of the committee In keeping the college
open contrary to the resolutions of the last
conference, but In so accepting this con
ference does not go upon record us endors
ing such latitude of privilege.
Apostle J. W. Wight, who tendered the
minority report of the college committee
which caused the three daya' discussion,
today offered his resignation as a mem
ber of the College Board of Trustees, be
lieving that the refusal of the conference
to endorse his report without stating its
reasons was a reflection upon his honor
and Integrity and a wound to his self-respect.
This resignation was accepted and
a vote of thanks was tendered to Brother
Wight for past services and for standing
out for his convictions in the face of oppo
sition. The matter of establishing a school of
correspondence as part of the college work,
whereby those at a distance may conduct
their studies by mail, was referred to the
Board of Trustees with power to act if
found practicable.
The same disposition was made of the
resolution to establish, an industrial depart
ment. A resolution was here adopted limiting
the time for the Introduction of new busi
ness to 3 o'clock tomorrow.
Reports from the quorums of seventies
Indicate that 28.892 were attended by Its
various members, with a total of 14,046 ser
mons preached and 794 baptized during the
year, and this Is the most active missionary
force of the church. The labors of the
members of the various quorums of elders
and high priests of twelve, etc., when
added to the above makes quite a showing
of spiritual work accomplished throughout
the year.
The mothers' organization of the church
reported progress and announced a fund
of $664 on hand raised for the establishment
of an orphans' home, which shall be added
to until such time as the church shall see
fit tu take up the matter.
Independence, Mo.; Chicago, III, and
Lamonl, la., were nominated as places to
hold the next general conference. The
vote resulted In the choice of Independence
by a large majority.
A movement Is on foot of perhaps graver
aspect than any yet presented to the con
ference, affecting as It does the income of
every member of the church, looking to
wards an equality of all things common be
tween ministry and layman. This resolu
tion will come up for discussion tomorrow.
Resolutions touching upon the prevalence
of the divorce evil were also offered, but
because of the lateness of the hour debate
was deferred. This seeks to forbid any
minister of this body from uniting in mar
riage any parties who have been divorced
for any but the only statutory cause recog
nized by the church for divorce, viz.: that
of adultery. The preaching tonight was
by James McKlerman of Iowa, and tomor
row morning will be by Arthur Allen of St.
Louis, both representative men of the sev
enty.

(From a Staff Correspondent.)
DE8 MOINfaS. April U-tSpeoial.) The
entire forenoon today was taken up In the
hearings of the arguments for a rehearing
In the matter of draining Swan lake, in
Pocahontas county, near Luurens. Prof.
Samuel of Ames and others of the Iowa
Forestry society appeared before the ex
ecutive council. There has been no par
ticular contest on the other lakes and these
will be ordered drained. In fact, most of
the lakes under consideration are mere
sloughs. In the case of Swan lake officers
of the executive council find a great deal
of the argument Is to the effect that the
lake affords excellmt hunting. Unless some
other showing Is made the councfS will not
likely order a rehearing. At the time when
the lake was ordered drained there was
no opposition to the order. The policy ot
the council has been to preserve as many
of the lakes as pOBslble. There seems to
be an accepted opinion that as It Is at this
time Swan lake is very unsanitary. The
decision on the rehearing will be reached
Saturday at the meeting.
Oehlerklng Gets Land.
Henry Oehlerking bought the 533 acres

ns though a deal had been put up on the
secretary of state to get the land for less
than its value. The land was appraised
for over $7,600, and Oehlerking bid 60 cents
an acre, or $216. Some of the other squat
ters came In and bid $1.50 an acre and were
going to close the matter there. Secre
tary Martin announced in that event that
the matter would be held open till mid
night and in the meantime some land spec
ulators, anxious to get good bargains, were
hunted up. Then Oehlerking raised his
bid to $3,600 and got the land. The island

Creek says that Mrs. 8. W. Vidler, the
wife of a newspaper man, shot and killed
Mrs. H. C. Douglas of Colorado Springs

WHEN WAR WAS DECLARED
Light la Thrown on SuhJeet hy Cor
respondence Between Japan
and tailed States.
WASHINGTON, April 13.-Officlal corre
spondence made public at the State de
partment today discloses the fact that the
Japanese government in announcing to the
American minister at Toklo on February
6 of last year the breaking of diplomatic
relations with Russia assured him that
hostilities would not begin until after a
declaration had been made. The corre
spondence comprises so much of the
diplomatic exchanges between Washington
and Toklo as the department thinks it ex
pedient to publish, and among the first Is
the following official paraphrase of a
cablegram from Minister Uriscom, dated
American legation, Toklo, February t,
lfc4:
Mr. Grlscom reports that the minister
for foreign affairs stated that a declaration
of war will nut be made until after the
withdrawal of their legation, which will
probably take two or three days and hos
tilities will not bexln until after the declar
ation of war. In an Interview the minis,
ter for foreign affairs went over the
whole course of the negotiations, directed
special attention to the extreme patience
and moderation of the attitude of Japan,
and stated that after having asked the
Russian government five tlm-a to expedite
a reply and having waited three weeks
without result no altcrnatl.e remained but
to act.
On the following day the correspondence
shows thnt Minister Grlscom reported that
the departure of the Russian minister
would take place on February 12. On
February 11, subsequent to the receipt of
the news of the torpedo attack upon the
Russian fleet at Port Arthur of February
9, Minister Grlscom sent a brief telegram
to the department, of which this Is the
official paraphrase:
Mr. Grlscom reports that the declaration
of war was Issued on the 10th Instant.
No other correspondence shedding light
on this Incident Is contained In the notes

Of interest is a note of Secretary Hay.
dated May 6 last, to the Japanese minister
at Washington, calling his attention to the
circulation In the American navy of a note
from the consulate general of Japan at
New York, addressed to "The Japanese
serving In the United States navy,"
soliciting subscriptions to Japanese bonds,
contributions to the relief fund for Japa
nese soldiers and sallurs, nnd In aid of
the Red Cross society of Japan." Whllo
admitting the right of Japanese In this
country to subscribe or contribute to the
objects mentioned, the secretary Bays In
his note to Mr. Takahlra, "Yet it Is unde
sirable that such contributions should be
sought through the naval official channels
of this government," and he therefore
"brings the matter to your attention with
the request that you will Inform the con
sul as officers of Japan In the United States
of the attitude of this government in the
matter." The Japanese minister gave the
necessary Instructions to the Jupanese con
sul general at New York.
The correspondence Includes a copy of a
note from the Japanese minister at Wash
ington, calling the attention of this gov
ernment to the presence of the Russian
ship Lena at San Francisco and saying
that the Imperial government expects that
'appropriate measures regarding the mat
ter will he taken by the United States
without delay." . ,
Several dnys later another note reached
the State department from the Japanese
minister expressing the desire of his gov
ernment that the officers and crew of the
Lena be detained In the territory of the
United States until the end of hostilities.
The acting secretary of state, Mr. Adee,
promptly replied, acknowledging the noto
and adding:
In reply I have the honor to state that
the president, exercising his prerogative
in carrying out the neutrality proclaimed
by him, had already before the receipt of
your communication taken the appropriate
steps to detain the officers and crew of the
Lena in this country until peace shall
have been concluded, unless In the mean
time the helllgerenta shall have concurred
In proposing to him other arrangements

NAN PATTERSON IN COURT
Former Show Girl Xot Allowed to
Plead I'ntil Associates
Are Arralitned.
NEW YORK, April 13 -Nan Patterson
was brought Into the court of general sea
slons by her own consent to plead to a
charge of conspiracy to get money from
Caesar Young, the bookmaker. She is ac
cused of having conspired with J. Morgan
Smith and his wife, Miss Patterson's sister,
to extort money from the dead bookmaker.
She wen not allowed to plead to the
charge, however, as Assistant District At
torney Rand asked Judge Foster that sha
be not arraigned, holding that it waa
unnecesssary. Miss Patterson's counsel re
quested permission to examine the minutes
of the grand Jury which Indicted her. This
was opposed by Mr. Rand, who asked for
a delay of one day In order that Miss
Patterson might be arraigned In company
with J. Morgan Smith and Mrs. Smith to
morrow. Although Miss Patterson's coun
sel vigorously objected to the delay the
court ordered that her plea to the charge
be put over until next Friday. She will
be placed on trial again next Monday on
the charge of having murdered Young.
Counsel for J. Morgan Smith nnd his wife
asked the court to order the district attor
ney to return the letters confiscated from
the Smiths In Cincinnati. The lawyer de
clared thnt Mr. Rand had no right to them.
Before deciding the question the court de
cided that formal notice be given to the
district attorney. After the court proceed
ings Mr. Rand asked the Smiths' counsel
to allow them to come to the district at
torney's office and be questioned. The law
yer reserved his answer.
Later he announced that he had refused
to grant the request. It is said Mr. Rnnd
Is endeavoring to learn who, If anyone,
assisted the Smiths in their flight from
New York after the death of "Caesar"
Young last June, and was desirous of dis
cussing this phase of the case with the
Smiths.
ALL ROADS ON ONE FOOTING
New Deal Propoiid for Laying Tracks in
StreeU and Allyi.
PRIVILEGE OF USE MUST BE GENERAL
r.lmmaa aad Rrrra Agree that It
More Rirtuslve Hlghts Will
Be Granted to Any
Railroad.
Acting Mayor Zlmman and City Attorney
Brecn have enunciated a new principle re
garding the conferring of rights upon rail
roads to lay tracks In streets and nlleys
In order to facilitate the handling of freight
to and from factories and business houses.
In substancer It Is that no more conces
sions of this kind be granted unless a
section Is Inserted In the ordinance giving
all other railroads In the city the same
rights and privileges on the tracks so la4d
as the company that builds them. The
theory Is that streets and alleys, and par
ticularly alleys, cannot permit more than
one track without Interfering with
vehicular traffic, and that It is not fair to
give one railroad company advantage over
another.
"No ordinance giving the right to lay a
spur or switch track to any portion of the
business district should be passed by the
council without such a clause," says the
city attorney. "The stand must be taken
to protect shippers and consignees. If one
road can bar another from access to track
age the merchant or manufacturer have
to suffer In the end. Where there Is room
for only one track other railroads should
not be denied equal privileges simply be
cause one has more Influence with the city
government or gets on the ground first.
In a recent ordinance giving the Union
Taclflo the right to lay a track In the
alley between Farnam and Douglas streets,
from Eighth to Tenth, it Is understood
that the lines hr.ve got together amicably
on the proposition, but the clause Is not
Inserted. The ordinance should be vetoed
because of this lack."

WHISKY TRUST ON THE RUN
Warlike Demonstration by Property
Owners Sends Distillery Com
pany Into Federal Court.
Fred Alhrecht and his son. Henry
Albrecht have their home down near the
river south of the Union Pacific railway
bridge and In close proximity to the Willow
Bprlngs distillery The Albrechts own
the land on which they live, and claim an
adjacent strip which has been built up by
accretions from the river. The Standard
Distilling and Distributing company, also
lays claim to this property, and has been
using It for the last fifteen years as a
source of their water supply. For about a
month past the distilling company has had
a number of men on the premises with
boilers, pumps and miscellaneous machin
ery for the purpose of cleaning and repair
ing the wells. During the night of April
11, the Albrechts went onto the land en
closed It with a wire fence, and when the
Whisky trust's employes went to the
tract on the morning of April 12, to begin
work they were met by the Albrechts,
armed with a double barreled shot gun
and were driven away, under threats of
having their several cuticles perforated
with various grades of goose nnd turkey
shot. The Albrechts also told the minions
of the trust thnt they were going to throw
the pumps, boiler, and other machinery
Into the river.
Believing that the Albrechts would do
Just what they promised, the Whisky
trust went to the United States circuit
court Wednesday afternoon and asked that
the Albrechts be enjoined from doing the
things severally promised.
Judge Munger Issued the restraining order
prayed for Wednesday evening, and Deputy
Marshal Allan was sent down to serve
notice on the Albrechts to submit to an
armistice until April 17, when the case will
be heard on its merits.
The Albrechts have retained the services
of Judge Ben S. Dakcr to represent them
Monday next.

"To the Kdltor;
I cannot keep from expressing my sur
prise at the wonderful relief and benefit I
derived frtn the use of Hyomel. For some
years past I have been a victim to nasal
and throat catarrh, and durhig that time
have expended a great many dollars to
specialists, nnd had my throat sprayed,
washed and smoked week after week. The
first time I used Hyomel 1 was surprised at
the change It brought.' This was a few
months ngo, nnd I have used It occsalon
ally since. It makes me so well -'that I
often forget nnd neglect Its use for several
days, but each lime l breathe it the hawk
ing and discharge cease, and it Is wonder
ful how It acts.
I nm over eighty-one years of age, and
careful not to praise anything until I know
what I nm about.
Respectfully yours,
