BIJICO MA TIHSS TWO THICK
Passes Worthless Check on Grocer
and Works Hack-nan.
Orlando Ewall, an old-time grocer of this
city, whose place of business Is at f33 West
Broadway, was victimized yesterday to the
tune of S14.S2 on a con game which Is so
ancient that It has whiskers cn It as long
and luxuriant as the hirsute appendage to
the chin of old Father Time. '
Harold Bremen, driver for fiwall, was de
livering the morning' orders when he was
stopped on Washington avenue by a stran
ger, who Inquired what grocery he was
working for. Beeman tendered the desired
Information, even to the telephone number
of his employer. ' This was chapter one.
The telephone rang In Ewall s store and
an order for J5.08 worth of groceries, was
ordered sent to 817 East Pierce street, with
Instructions that. the. .driver bring change
for 120 with him. The goods were put up
and when young Beeman returned from his
first trip he was sent .oat ' with the order
and $14.92 In change. This ,waa chapter
two.
At First street on Broadway, as young
Beeman was about to turn onto Pierce
street, he was met by the stranger who had
stopped him on Washington avenue earlier
In the day. He Inquired of Beeman If he
had the order of groceries for J17 Pierce
street. On Beeman replying In the affirma
tive the stranger stated he was the prty
who had given the order, but he now de
sired the goods delivered at 608 South First
street.. At .the same, time the stranger
stated he was anxious to pay for the order
then and there and asked the young man
If he had brought the change for CO, as
directed over the 'phone. Beeman replied
that he had the change and handed It to
the stranger In return for a check for f0.
This was chapter three.
Toung Beeman failed to find any resi
dence at BOS South First etreet or any per
son In the Immediate neighborhood who had
ordered the groceries. He returned to the
store and acquainted hla employer with the
facta. Mr. Ewall then commenced to grow
suspicious and he hastened, to the Council
Bluffs Savings bank with the check for $20
drawn -In his favor and signed by George
N. McCall, only to find out that Mr, McCall
was unknown to- the officers of -the bank
and had no account the!"' ThJeTww chap

A stranger who answc red-ex aetly the de
scription of' the man who had aocosted
young Beeman on Washington avenue and
later secured the $14.02 from him hired one
of W. Martin's hacks In front of the opera
house and In which he waa driven to
Omaha. Reaching Omaha the stranger di
rected the hackman to drive to the post
office, as he wished to get "his" mall before
going to' the" hotel. ' This was the last'the
hackman saw of the stranger and he re
turned to Council Bluffs benefited by the
experience but minus his fare. '.This Is be
lleved by the police to be a sequel to the
bunco story related by Grocer Orlando
Ewall. " , .

ALVORD REPORTS OS WATERWORKS
Manager Hart Now Heady to Confer
with Cennellmen.
The report of J. W. Alvord, the consult
ing hydraulic engineer employed by the
Council Bluffs City Water Works company
to prepare an estimate of the value of the
company's plant for comparison with that
placed on it by W. Kiersted, the expert
employed by the city council, was received
by Manager E. W. Hart yesterday. The
special committee of the city council, of
which Councilman Wallace Is Chairman,
will meet this afterndon with Mr. Hart and
go over the report. Until this Is done, the
report of Mr. Alvord will not he made
public.
Should the estimate made by Mr. Alvord
be found to be materially different from
that made by Mr. Kiersted, Mr. Hart stated
yesterday, that he would suggest to the
special committee that Mr. Kiersted be re
called so that the latter and Mr. Alvord
could go over the figures together with a
view If possible of reconciling their dif
ferences. A Comparison.
Consider the small yard in your home
town, then think of two yards containing
on an average about .thirty times as much
stock, then you will see why we can make
such a difference In price to you by Buy
ing a straight car of lumber. Instead of a
mixed car, as your local dealer must do.
Of course you are not In the lumber busi
ness and do not realize the advantage we
have over him, but If you will mall us an
Itemised bill of what you wish we will sur

Matters In District Conrt.
Mrs. Johanna Jackson was granted In
district court yesterday morning a divorce
from William Jackson. The couple are col
ored and during the last year Jackson ap
peared at frequent Intervals In the police
and Justice courts to answer charges of 111
treating his wife. He was finally Indicted
by the grand Jury and served a Jail sen
tence. Jackson reached the court house
shortly after his wife had been granted a
decree of divorce, and finding he was too
late to ward It off, started In to create a
disturbance. One of Sheriff Canning's depu
ties was called upon to remove the Irate
negro outside the precincts of the court.
M. Marcus, proprietor of a clothing store
at 522 West Broadway, has brought suit In
the district court to enjoin David Hill, who
conducts the Opera House saloon, adjoining
the Marcus building, from selling liquor.
The petition, which was filed yesterday, al
leges that Hill Is selling liquor In violation
of the mulct law. It Is said that Marcus
has no especial complaint against Hill, but
that the suit Is the result of repeated dis
agreements between Marcus and W. A.
Maurer, owner of the saloon building. Mar
cus disclaims any pretensions to be a re
former. Minna Schneider haa brought ault for di
vorce from Emit W. Schneider, to whom
she was married November 17, 1900, in
Omaha. She waa granted-an attachment
agalnet the property owned by her hus
band and herself. Mrs. Schneider alleges
that during their residence In Spokane a
year they jointly, by "hard work and self
denial." accumulated property to the value
of $2,800. This property was sold and part
of the proceeds reinvested In Spokane, while
the balance, consisting of $1,600; she alleges
her husband . brought to Council Bluffs.
Part of this has been Invested In a small
home In this city, but W. of the money,
Mrs. Schneider says, her husband s parents
are trying to get away from her. She asks
that her husband's parents be restrained
from -attempting to dlsposses her' of the
home or attempting to fret possession of It
themselves.
The suit of H. F. Keller and wife against
the Board of Park Commissioners and the
city of Council Bluffs Is still occupying the
attention of Judge Thornell and a Jury. It
Is likely, however, to go to the Jury some
time today.

Moore Bonnd to Have a Bed.
A stranger, supposed to be L. O. Moore of
Vtillsca, la., pulled off a stunt yesterday
morning after filling up on several brands
of , Council Bluffs whisky which gave the
police considerable trouble before he was
landed behind the bars of the city Jail.
Moore with a companion engaged a hack
about $ o'clock and ordered the driver to
take them to a Broadway hotel. The pro
prietor of the hotel declined to receive the
two on account of their condition and they
made tha rounds tot a number of other
hostelrles, but without 'iccees. Moore's
partner finally left him, and Moore, failing
to secure a room. In a hotel, decided to go
to sleep In the hark. To this the driver ob
jected, buf was unable.- to budge. Moore.
Finally, the hackman drove the sleeping
man to police headquarters. When the
officers tried to get Moore out of the hack
he put up a vicious fight, but was finally
subdued, although not until after he had
wrested the chTb from one of the police
men and narrowly missed landing It on
Captain O'Neill's cranium.
Moore was well dressed and liberally sup
plied with money. . He had evidently come
to town to have a good time and .had
found It.,

of more or less Importance were Intro
duced In each house today and that was the
sum total of the day's activity, with the
exception of an Ineffectual effort on the
part of Dow of Franklin In the house to
get his committee clerk affirmed after
he had failed to pass the examination,, and
the appointment of a committee on mile
age In the senate.
The following bills were Introduced:
In the Senate By Newberry, Increasing
the pay of the deputy d.ilrv and food In
spector and assistants to ll.FrO). By Clarke,
applying the law of sssessing street Im
provement to abutting property to towns
as well aa cities. By Dunham, providing

Mattes, giving minority stockholder rep

Armand, creating a general district court
to sit In Des Moines. By Frudden, apply

as to lost tax sale certificates.
In the House By Weeks, appropriating

bodies. By Sullivan, to preserve testimony
before coroner Juries. By Sullivan, au
thorizing city councils to control whistling
and ringing of bells on locomotives. Bv
McAllister, for publishing a roster of old
soldiers.
Flaht Over Soldiers' Roster.
The same old fight over the publication of
a roster of Iowa soldiers is again up at
this session, as It has been for several
past. Some old soldiers oppose the proposi
tion because It will make another position
under the appointment of the adjutant
general of the guard. Others oppose It be
cause It will cost $30,000 or $40,000. McAl
lister of Linn has Introduced a bill ordering
the adjutant general to prepare and pub
lish the roster and appropriating money
for the work. Weeks of Outhrle has In
troduced a bill In the house to have dis
trict courts In each county appoint com
missions of three to prepare the list of all
who enlisted In the respective counties
and file them with the recorder to be re
corded, with their military record. The
work is to be done at the expense of the
county, and if the state later wished to
have the roster printed the recorders could
easily be re.'ed to certify the names to
the secretary of state or adjutant general
to be printed.
Is Xo Ice Kaihlne.
There is to be no Ice famine In Des
Moines. The recent cold weather has given
Ice men an opportunity. Ice Is a foot
thick 'and of the best quality and one
more week of such weather will see the Ice
houses of the city filled.
Would Engage In Farm I dr.
The new beet sugar factory to be located
at Waverly Is seeking to Induce the State
Board of -Control to engage In raising sugar
beets on the farm connected with the Boys'
Industrial school at'Bldora. The concern
will contract, to fake the beets from 200
ncres of land from the Institution. If Is
very remunerative farming and. the board
would like to take advantage of it, but
hasn't enough land. A bill will likely be
Introduced appropriating money to buy the
land.
Bad for Appropriation Committee.
The visitation committee whltfh In
spected the educational work at the State
university is likely to make a report that
will cause the appropriations committees
to think awhile. They were Impressed;
wlih the Idea that while the askings for
the State university are large, that all Is
needed that has been asked for, and that
if the state can possibly do so there must
be a great Increase In expenditure for
state educational work. "AVe found an
Increase of 600 students at Iowa City."
said Senator Newberry, "and every de
partment and room crowded to the limit.
In fact' there Is much getting along with
makeshifts In such a way that it Is a dis
grace to the state. We are Inviting thcuo
young people to come to our Institutions;
It Is our duty to care for them. The uni
versity was never more prosperous. Let
us . keep It so."
Wage Exemption Again.

Interstate Commerce Commissioner
Bnar on Rates la Home Town.
CEDAR RAPIDS, la., Jan. 29. Interstate
Commerce Commissioner Clark, who resides
here, today began the hearing In the case
of the Cedar Rapids & Iowa City Interurban
Railroad company against the Chicago &
Northwestern Railway company.- It In
volves the right of Interurbans to demand
the" same concessions of steam railways
that are granted to other steam railroads.
The question Is whether an Interurban,
being purely a local line, can be said to be
engaged In Interstate traffic. The complain
ant says It Is because It accepts freight
for shipment Into other states by the Cedir
Rapldawoe Iowa City, and because it , re
ceives for points on Its line freight shipped
from other states by a steam line. The
Northwestern asserts the Interurban has
not yet reached the dignity of a railroad.
Inasmuch as It has no stor't or freight
cars ct Its own, but Is obliged to call 'on
steam roads for use of cars In handling
shipments of any size,
The complainant Is represented by Daw
ley, Hubbard Wheeler and John A.
Read, defendant by Attorney John Lynde
of Chicago. Mariy representatives of Iowa
Interurban lines have been called aa wit

spveral days, but no decision will be
