The eleventh annual .convention of the
United Danish Evangelical Luthoran
church held In Council Bluffs Is
now a matter of history. It came to a
close last night after a most successful
session, which opened Wednesday morning
of last week. The convention not only
brought together a large number of the
leading ministers and laymen of the de
nomination, but was attended by aeveral
hundred visiting members of he church,
twenty-two states being represented in the
attendance.
The convention In 1908 will be held at
Waupaca. Wis.
The members of the local church have
worked hard to entertain and provide for
tho material comfort of the large number
of visitors, the task of furnishing meals
for such a large number every day alone
being a big task.
At the afternoon . session yesterday the
following resolutions, evidencing the appre
ciation of the visitors for the courtesies ex
tended them, were adopted:
Whereas, The United Danish Evangelical
Lutheran Church In America In its eleventh
annual convention has been most cor
dially received by Our Savior's Scandi
navian Evangelical Luthernn church and
by the cltlsena of Council Bluffs, and
Whereas, We have had the free and un
limited use of the First Presbyterian
church during our convention, therefore,
be It
Roeolved, That we express our gratitude
for the kind hospitality extended to us
by Our Savior's Evangelical Lutheran
church and by the sltlsens of Council
Bluffs, Ia. And especially do we express
our gratitude to the First Presbyterian
congregation for the use of their church,
which nas comfortably met our necessity
during the convention. And be It further
Resolved, That these resolutions be pub
lished In the local papers and placed on
the records of the convention.
The convention adjourned without settling
the question of filling the vacancy tn the'
faculty of Trinity seminary at Blair. The
position waa formerly held by Rev. P. S.
Vlgand. The convention was unable to
determine, owing to the diversity of opinion,
whether to appoint a man fresh from
Denmark or an ' American Dane to the
position.
Considerable routine business, necessary
to the winding up of the convention, was
transacted at the morning and afternoon
sessions. The convention waa brought to
a close with a devotional service. But few
of the visitors left yesterday and the even
ing services were attended by a gathering
which completely filled the church.

Tn the district rnnrt VMrfarriav VitA..,
Wbceler heard and took under advisement j
me suit, orougm Dy judge J. K. 'Heed and
other property owners on Olen avenue
south of Pomona to restrain the city frbm
collecting the assessment against their lots
for the paving on Park avenue. The prop
erty on the east side of Glen avenue backs
against Park avenue, but south of Pomona
avenue It Is a great deal tower than Park
avenue. The Olen avenue property owners
contend that the Improvement on Park
avenue Is not of the slightest benefit to
their holdings on account of this great dif
ference In grade.
Mrs.' Pearl I. Grants began suit for di
vorce from II. A. Grants, to whom she was
married February U, 1889, in Nichols, Mo.
She bases her suit on chargea of cruel and
Inhuman treatment. She asks that she be
given the custody of their two minor sons,
aged 17 and 14, and the court Issued a tem
porary restraining order enjoining the de
fendant from interfering with his wife,
from collecting the wagea of the plaintiff
and the two boys and from removing any
of the property except his wearing apparel
from the home which they own at 741
Franklin atreet.
Mlaa Kaatsmau Sticks to Story.
Miss Lily Kautsman, the young woman
from Falrbury, Neb., who claimed to have
been assaulted and robbed Sunday night by
a negro, admitted to Chief Richmond that
many of the particulars she had told him
were untrue, but she still stuck to her
story of being beaten and robbed. When
confronted yesterday by Chief Richmond
with the many palpable discrepancies In
ber story, the young woman admitted the
falsity of much of what she had told.
Chief Richmond, however, was unable to
secure much Information from the young
women yesterday as she became hysterical
under the questioning, and Major Rich
mond was obliged to desist.
Miss Kautsman was told she would be
cared for at the Jennie Edmundson hos
pital until her father or some relative came
to take ber home. She declared she -was
ready and willing to return home.

CHIEF CONTROVERSY HANGS OJT
Neither Ride Makes Mot la tho
Case.
There were no developments yesterday In
tho controversy between the city council
and the Board of Fire and Police Com
missioners ovef the appointment by the
latter of Chafles M. Nicholson as chief of
the fire drrartment. The mandamus suit
to compel tho city to approve the bond
filed by Nicholson, which Commissioner
Zurmurhlen stated would be filed the first
thing Tuesday morning, failed to material
ise. S. B. Wadsworth, attorney for Nich
olson, Is out of the city and Attorney H.
O. Ouren, who Is attending to Mr. Wads
worth's business In his absence, stated that
probably no move would be made In tha
matter until Mr. Wadsworth returned.
As the result of legal advioa obtained by
him Commissioner Zurmuehlen stated last
evening that It was not at all Improbable
that the Board of Fire and Police Commis
sioners would try another "tack" today.
Mr. Zurmuehlen stated that he had been
advised that It was very doubtful If Nich
olson's bond had to be approved by tho
city council or even if Nicholson had to
furnish a bond at all. "We members of
the Board of Fire and Police Commission
ers have each given a bond In the sum of
35,000. Nicholson Is our appointee and la
responsible to us, not to the city council.
The new law taking the appointment of the
chief of the fire department out of the
hands of the city council and placing It
with the Fire and Police commission, I am
advised, annuls tha city ordinance govern
ing the appointment of the fire chief and
the matter of his bond," said Commis
sioner Zurmuehlen.
In the meantime Frank Hitchcock Is still
acting chief of the fire -department of
Council Bluffs.
Coming tn View Roads,
The delegation from Nebraska City
which visited Council Bluffs recently to
Inspect the methods of roadmaklng In
vogue here were so well pleased with the
trip that another delegation from the Ne
braska town Is expected here today.
Colonel W. F. Baker of the Board of
Supervisors received the following letter
yesterday from John Wi Btelnhart of the
Commercial club of Nebraska City, who
was . one of the delegation which visited
here recently:
Dear Sir Our Commercial club met with
our commissioners several evenings ago
and went over in detail the matter of the
construction of roads along your lines.
Mr. Fasternau wanted the other two com
missioners to go with htm and examine
your roads. They seem to think that If
they would round up the road with a
grader and the work followed up by the
King drag that as good results would bo
secured as to plow It and then roll tha
rond.
We want them to enter Into contract
with you and to send ene of your expert
road builders and to build under his su
pervision one mile of road exactly in every
respect as you would build such a road.
We then told them that they could build a
mile following Jt, merely grading up the
road and thon rolling It, and the two miles
would be an object lesson, not only to
them, but to au nf our people aa to the
merits of your .system.
If they come up 1
on Wednesday will you
be doing anv road work near Council Bluffs
so they could watch the process as well as
go over your roads already constructed T
Understand, tf they come, they como
merely In a business capacity and do not
want you to go to any extra trouble In the
way of entertainment or expense. We ap
preciate our first visit, and if they visit
you again we do not want you to put your
selves out too much.
Colonel Baker at once sent a reply ex
tending an Invitation and the Nebraska
City men are expected hera today.
Flre Team Off for Tournament.
Jack and Jlm, Council Bluffs' champion
fire team, left last night over the North
western for Bioux City, where they will go
Into training on the grounds of the coming
state firemen's tournamtnt, preparatory to
defending the honors won at Clinton last
year. Accompanying the team are Driver
Ed Walker, Couplers James Cotter and
A. H. Telfer, Hoeeman Clarence Hough and
Adam Hudson as extra mti. The tourna
ment will open Tuesday of next week and
last over Friday.
Jim is not In as good trim as might be
wished, aa during the laat winter ha has
suffered with . what was believed to be
rheumatism in one of his legs. The men
of the department, - however, are feeling
confident that If Couplers Cotter and Telfer
do as well as former Chief Jones and his
brother did at Clinton last year Council
Bluffs ought to be able to retain tha cham
pionship. With the 1100 from last year which was
turned back into tha city treasury from the
prise money won at Clinton and the $100
appropriated by the city council Monday
night, about C50 more Is needed to defray
the expenses of the team at Sioux City.
Councilman Tounkerman and Acting Chief
Hitchcock canvassed the city yesterday and
raised about $75, and It la understood that
Member Zurmuehlen of the Fire and Police
commission will raise the balance.

ers of medicinal agents, as the most eminent physicians are the most careful as to
the uniform quality and perfect purity of remedies prescribed by them, and it is well
known to physicians and the Well-informed penerally that the California Fig Syrup
Co., by reason of its correct methods and perfect equipment and the ethical character of
its product has attained to the high standing in scientific and commercial circles which
is accorded to successful and reliable houses only, and, therefore, that the name of the

TRUTH AND QUALITY
appeal to the Well-informed in every walk of life and are essential to permanent suc

enjoy good health, with its blessings, to the fact that it involves the Question of rieht
living with all the term implies. With proper knowledge of what is best each hour
of recreation, of enjoyment, of contemplation and of effort may be made to contribute -to
that end and the use of medicines dispensed with generally to great advantage, but "

proper time, the California Fig Syrup Co. feels that it is alike important to present
truthfully the subject and to supply the one perfect laxative remedy which has won
the appoval of physicians
oi tne excellence ot the combination, known to all, and the original method of manufac
ture, which is known to the California Fig Syrup Co. only.
This valuable remedy has been long and favorably known under the name of
Syrup of Figs and has attained to world-wide acceptance as the most excellent of
family laxatives, and as its pure laxative principles, obtained from Senna, are well
known to physicians and tho Well-informed of the world to be the best of natural
laxatives, we have adopted the more elaborate name of Syrup of Figs and Elixir of'
Senna as more fully descriptive of the remedy, but doubtless it will always be
called for by the shorter name of Syrup of Figs and to get its beneficial effects always
note, when purchasing, the full name of the Company California Fig Syrup Co.
plainly printed on the front of every package, whether you simply call for Syrup of
Figs or by the full name Syrup of Figs and Elixir of Senna as Syrup of Figs and
Elixir of Senna is the one laxative remedy manufactured by the California Fig Syrup
Co. and the same heretofore known by the name Syrup of Figs which has given
satisfaction to millions. The genuine is for sale by all leading druggists throughout
the United States in original packages of one size only, the regular price of which
is fifty cents per bottle. ,
Every bottle is sold under the general guarantee of the Company, filed with the

able that the government will begin pro
eeedlngs under he anti-trust "acts' against
E. H. Harriman and his associates for vlo. C
l.Hnn. nf th law In connection with tha.
so-called Chicago ft Alton railroad deal,
tho Union and Southern Pacific transactions
and perhapa In connection with the South
ern Paclflo and the San Pedro trafflo
agreement. . The contemplated prosecution
of the bituminous coal carrying roads, how
ever, v will likely await the result of the
action by the courts In the cases to be
brought against the Harriman roads.
It Is expected that there are some Im
portant questions common to both cases,
and, therefore. It Is asserted, ' the suits
against the bituminous coal roads will not
begin until the courts tiave rendered Judg
ment in the Harrlrrtan case.
In the event of an adverse decision as to
these common, points and -the government
decides that law as It stands,' Is Inadequate
to fully cover the case, It is more than
probable that congress at Its coming De
cember session will be asked to amend the
law so aa to, meet the present situation.
As the report of th. Interstate Commerce
, commission- on the Harriman Investigation
has not been made ret. the sctlon of the
Department of Justice In filing Its bill or
' bills, will necessarily be somewhat delayed,
Jt I. expected that the question ot h , sd-
vlsablllty of bringing any ault attacking tha
validity of the Harriman Alton transaction
Is one on which the Interstate Commerce
commission Is divided and as a .result of
this difference of opinion, two reporli front
