ATTORNEY BROWN ANXIOUS Callion char.ffto fee Why 8aloon Injunc tion Papers Hare Not Been Eetred. SHERIFF STATES FORCE HAS BEEN B'JSY If Papers Are to He served All the alooas Sheriff Desires to Walt Whole Affair. J. Brown, tho mysterious lawyer and dealer In real estate from Kansas, failed to file any more notices of Injunction suits against Council Bluffs saloons yesterday, but he was In evidence all the same. Early In the morning Mr. Brown called at Sheriff Canning's office to inquire why It was that none of the notices of suit had been served by the sheriff. Mr. Brown was Informed that the sheriff's force had btcn busy attending to other court matters and that the notices would be served In.dup time. This explanation appeared to satisfy Mr. Brown and lis left ths sheriff s office without offering any information as to what his next move would be. As It was presumed that Mr. Brown and his associates, whoever they might be, planned injunction suits against each and every saloonkeeper In Council Bluffs and Pottawattamie county. Sheriff Canning stated yesterday that he thought it best to wail until all the original notices hud been filed and then he and his deputies could serve them In a bunch. The Iowa mulct law provides a fee of $26 for the attorney bringing injunction suits for violation of the law In each case. Up to a few years ago the business of pros ecuting saloonkeepers was more profitable, as the law provided for a fee of two In each case for the attorney bringing the suit.

Pump Breaks at Inopportune Time. The residence of W. II. Heultta, gardener at the corner of Madison And Bennett ave nue, was entirely destroyed by fire shortly after 8 o'clock yewlerday morning. But for the breaking of the pump In the yard the house might have escaped destruction, but as It was only the furniture whs saved. The blase originated In a small summer kitchen at the rear of the house. Mr. Heultta built a Are about 4 o'clock In this shed and then went Into the main part of the house. A few minutes later he dis covered the shed on Are with the flames making rapid headway. Rushing to the pump he drew a bucket of water and dashed It on the flames, but ot returning for more water discovered that the handle of the pump was broken snd It refused to work. Neighbors hastened to his as sistance and carried water from nearby premises, but were unable to do so In suf ficient quantities to materially check the flames. The fire departrrunit responded to the alarm, but as the residence was outside the fire limits could only use the chemical engine, which sufficed to keep the blaxe In check long enough to allow the removal of ths furniture. It 'was thought possible that the frame shed In which the blaxe originated could be pulled away from the main part of the house and a team of horses was hitched to It, but It refused to move. The house, which was one and a half story, containing six rooms, cost 81.EO0 and was insured for $700. Free tickets for those wishing to attend the kodak exhibition to be held at Cham bers' academy.

BANKERS ASK FOR RELIEF Insist Ltw Lava a a Ucdn Inrclen on the CtTinci Inttitvtione. TERMINAL TAXATION ISSUE IN IOWA Dr. J. F. Keaaedy, After Twenty. Two Years' Service as Secretary ot the Mate Board of Health, Quite the Office. (From a Staff Correspondent.) DES MOINES, . Jan. . (Special. )-As a result of a conference of the legislative committee of the State Bankers' associa tion with the state auditor a number of Important banking bills will be drawn and presented to the legislature. An effort win be mane to convince tne memoers of the legislature that unless, some relief Is given the savings banks of the state. which are more numerous than any other class ot banks, will go to tus wall. The decision of Judge Evans In the case of the Corning Savings bank to ths effect that a savings bank cannot borrow money, Is considered a serious handicap to the sav ings bank, aa It would limit them strictly to receiving deposits and putting the money out at Interest and prevent them from dohig a general banking business. Sav ing banks can be organized with but $10,000 capital etook and for that reason banks In nearly all small communities are savings banks. The' original Intention of the law was that they should be a sort ot mutual savings association, merely for the Investment of savings, but they have been Increasing rapidly over the state and are doing a general banking business. It Is proposed to amend the law so that they can do, this legally. It Is also proposed to amend the law so that directors of "sav ings banks' can borrow money from the bank by giving the proper' collateral;also to repeal the section requiring savings banks to publish a list of the banks with which thfjy carry deposits; and a lighten ing of ths burden of taxation. The sav ings banks' ask that they be placed more nearly on a par with the stale and na tional banks In the matter of taxation, as well as In other banking matters. They do not object to the state bank examiners having all Information concerning the bank's condition and where the money Is deposited or what directors borrow money and the nature of the security, but they do object to publishing this Information to the general public, as It gives other banks an unfair advantage over them. Woald Help Cities. Probably a bill will be Introduced soon at this session of the legislature designed to give the cities a greater proportion ot the taxation of the railroads' It Is asserted that -the present method of taxing ths entire line or road In the state and then dividing It by thfc number of miles, giving to each county Ha proportion of the mile age, gives the country districts the ad vantage for ths reason that they get the benefit of the great terminals at ths large cities - The new plan Is to have these terminals assessed and taxed for the ex elusive benefit of the cities In which they are located. A part of the scheme to so compllsh this end Is to have the terminals assessed by the local assessors and limit the executive council to assessing the other property of the railroad line. Board Hadn't Heard of Law In the report of the state accountant, C. C. Hter, filed with.- the governor today. It la pointed out that the Board of Educa tional Examiners is unaware of the fact that a law passed three years ago requires all boards to turn the fees collected Into the state treasury to be dtabursed there. The board has been collecting fees and holding them snd spending the money as needed. Expert Railroad Lobby. Because of the appearance of high rail road officials at the capltol of Missouri to lobby against the 2-cent fare bill In that state. It Is presumed that they will appear In Des Moines next week or the week after to lobby against the measure here. Five bills have been Introduced In the leglsla. ture here and there Is a strong supposition that-one of the measures will pass, Clinton is Selected. The stute associations of supervisors, county auditors and county treasurers, which have been meeting In this city today, decided upon Clinton as the place for hold ing the next state conventions, the three societies always selecting the same place and date of meeting. The conventions will be held August 14, 16 and 16. Holdap Beared Away. A bold holdup entered the pawn broking shop of Felnbrrg & Tatz. on the East side, this morning at 6 o'clock. Under the pre tense of buying a revolver he go), posses sion of two loaded revolvers and then pointed them at Felnberg and ordered htm to produce all the fash. Just as Felnberg started to get the cash drawer his partner, Tatz, entered ths front door, and seeing what was happening darted out again yelling for help and police. The burglar got away, but secured nothing but two re volvers. Dr. Kennedy's Farewell. Dr. J. F.
