The Kellers have conducted, a profitable business for several years by maintaining a lunch and candy stand, at their residence and they consequently do not look with favor on the proposition of the park com missloners to shut them out, so to speak, by erecting a dwelling practlcr'ly at their front door.

Cession to Discuss Qaestton aad I Decide on Line of Action. The uniform bill of lading proposed by the railroads Is aa great a source of worry to the grain dealers as It Is to the whole sale grocers and Jobbers. A special meet ing of the Southwestern Iowa and North weatern Missouri Grain Dealers' association was held In this city yesterday for the pur pose of dlacuftfffng what action should be taken to oppose the proposed measure. About thirty grain dealers were present, but action was deferred until a meeting to be called lh a few days at Creston, la., by President Hunter of the association. The meeting, as usual, was held behind closed doors and the members present were not Inclined to say much except that the enforcement of the proposed uniform bill of lading would ot a necessity practically put most of the grain men out of business. President Hunter, when asked about the s.'.uatlon, said: "The great trouble with the proposed uniform bill of lading Is that it will not be negotiable and dealers will not be able, as has been the universal cus tom heretofore, to draw on a car of corn or other grain. Our association took the matter up with the Chicago banks and they alt stated that they would be unable to ad vance funds on a uniform bill of lading for the simple reason such bills of lading will hve stamped across their face, 'Non ne gotiable.' The adoption of the proposed uniform bill of lading will revolutionize the entire grain business. With the adoption of the? proposed uniform bill of lading a grain dealer would have to have a large capital at his back to continue in the busi ness. As (t now Is the dealer can attach his bill of lading to a sight draft and se cure the money from the bank, but with the uniform bill of lading this would be impos sible and the dealer would have his capital tied up until he could dispose of the grain. Very' few if any of the dealers In this sec tion of the country can command sufficient capital to do this. We grain dealers will bave to resist the adoption of the proposed measure by every means in our power or else quit the business. That Is all there is to It." ETHERTOSS STRIKE WROXQ PARTY Asano.lt Womaa and Are Shot by Her Haeband. Tom Etherton, a horse trader, Is lying at the Council Bluffs General hospital with a bullet from a repeating rifle in his body hear the groin, while Dave Etherton, his brother, Is In hiding somewhere with a bul let wound In his right ankle. They were Shot yesterday afternoon by Charlea Bor ne r, residing on First avenue, near Thirty ninth street, whose wife, it Is charged, was viciously assaulted by the Ethertons. Emma Etherton, wlfo Of Dave Etherton; May Coffin and Maggte Faith, who were with the . EUit-rXona, -are in the city jail, being held ' on charges of lewdness. Bonier was released on his own recognizance. There are several accounts of the trouble which led to the shooting, but the police are inclined to believe that the one told by Mrs. Bomer is the correct one. Mrs. Bor ner says that the Ethertons, with a cov ered ; wagon. In which the three women were tiding, stopped in front of her house and made preparations as If to camp In a field which she and her husband own. She told them that they could not stop there, as she owned the land. The whole outfit, she says, then abused and ended by as saulting her, the two men knocking her unconscious with brickbats. ' Bomer," who was working on a house nearby, came home and la said to have found his wife lying unconscious In the weeds near their house. When he had re vived her she told 'ilm of the assault and that the people whr had assaulted her had driven west toward the motor bridge. Se curing his rifle Bonier hastened in pursuit and overtook the outfit at the approach to the bridge when Bomer came ud with the Ethertons they proceeded to attack him and attempted to take the rifle from him. During the struggle the rifle was discharged and Dave Etherton was shot in the ankle. Despite his wound ho closed in on Borner and In the struggle the rifle was again dis charged, the bullet this time striking Tom Etherton, who was rendered hors do com bat. Several persons, attracted by the shoot ing, rushed to the soens and nrevented Borner from doing any more shooting. The police were telephoned for, but be fore tho officers could reach the rlaoe Dave Etherton succeeded In making his escape.. It wns said that he boarded a passing hauling wagon and rode across the bridge to Omaha. Tom Etherton was taken with the women to the city Jail, but later removed to the hospital, where th? bullet was probed for, dui witnout success. The X-rays will be used today in an effort to locate the mis sile. Another version of the affray wag that the Ethertons entered the Borner house and were In the act of stealing some car penter tools when discovered by Mrs. Bor ner, who was knocked unconscious by one of the men with a hammer which thev had stolen. The Ethertons are well known to the police and have a most unsavory refuta tion. About a year ago Dave Etherton was brought back to this city from Emer son on a charge of kidnaping the woman. May Coffln. The charge, however, fell fla. as It was proven that the woman left Cof fin, the man she was living with, on her free will. It developed that Coffln and the woman were not married, but the two In order to avoid prosecution decided to have the ceremony performed, and they were married at the city Jail. - Shortly after the marriage the woman again left Comn and rejoined Etherton, despite the fact that Etherton already had a wife, Maggie Faith, the third woman under arrest, belongs In Fremont, Neb., and the police records show that a short time ago a reward was offered for the arrest of Dave Etherton on the charge of abducting the girl, who was under age. The police were informed last evening that this charge had been withdrawn and that the Fremont authorities no longer wanted Etherton. Tom Etherton was arrested tn this city last winter, charged with assaulting an old man named Brown, .In the western part of the city. He served thirty days in the county Jail for the assault. Dare Ether ton was charged with complicity in the assault, but eluded the officers. While the men are ostensibly horse traders, it is charged that they travel around the coun try with the women tn a covered wagon for Immoral purposes. Factory Prepares to Mora.

GERMAN COMMERCIAL TREATY Imperial Government Desires to Make New Trade Arrangements with lalted States. WASHINGTON. July 27.-Oermany's com mercial relation with the United States will be among the most Important subjects to come before the senate the next session of congress. Having negotiated new commercial arrangements with Belgium, Italy, Russia, Roumanla and Servla, Germany Is anxious to make a similar convention with the United States. The new treaties already concluded be come effective March 1. and preliminary notice has been received that the German treaty with this country will be allowed to lapse about November 90. A thorough understanding exists, however, between Washington and Berlin regarding the rea sons for ending this treaty. The matter has been dlscuaaed at length by the preal dent and Baron Speck von Sternburg, the German ambassador, the latter having com municated Germany's earneat wish to con clude a new treaty with this country which will be equally helpful to the trade of each country. Upon his return to Wash ington. In autumn Baron Speck von Stern burg will hare full Instructions for the pro gram to be followed, snd upon the execu tion of these will depend In a measure the policy to be followed by this government. The lapse of the treaty, coming late In November, It Is believed, will bring ths subject Into Immediate consideration by the senate. Because of the effect upon American exports, which without a treaty will be obliged to pay the maximum rates of the German tariff, the officials here be lieve the senate will, consent to the ratifi cation of a treaty which. In return for cer tain reductions on German Imports, will give advantageous schedules to American goods entering Germany. CHINA MAY SIGN -NO TREATY Foreign Influence May Re Responsi ble for Its Position Regarding; Exclusion of Laborers. WASHINGTON, July 27. Some doubt Is expressed In official circles whether It will be possible to obtain China's consent to an other treaty with the United States provid ing for even the exclusion of Chinese .a borers from this country. The State de partment Is aware of Ill-feeling throughout China, on the whole subject and now that the Immigration treaty with China has been allowed to lapse without the negotiation of a new agreement reports have reached here that China Is Inclined hereafter to refuse to sign any similar convention. China's position appears to be that the exclusion of Chinese cltliens from a friendly country Is in Itself a disgrace, and while it cannot Ignore the laws of a foreign power provid ing ror sucn exclusion. It can refuse to sanction It or become part of It by conclud ing a treaty Involving such restrictions. A year ago, It Is said, It would have been easy to conduct negotiations with China for the exclusion- of Chinese laborers only. Now, however, It Is understood, the Chinese officials are disposed to regard the signing of such a treaty beneath the dignity of their government. The reason for tho as sumption at Peking of this new attitude Is not quite clear to the officials here, though In some circles It Is attributed to -the Influ ence of foreign powers.
