Mr. Wilcox,, who also owned the premises occupied by Mr. McManus, placed his loss at about tt.CW. The loss on the big storage barn Is covered by Insurance, but Mr. Wil cox wis unable to state whether the smaller structure was similarly protected. The tire.

When the fire was discovered the barn was a mass of flames and, with Its contents, was burned before the firemen could do anything. Thej flames quickly spread to tho larger - storage barn on the Wilcox premises, which was only about twenty flVe feet away, and the firemen on their arrival concentrated their efforts on saving the Inrger structure. The barn was filled with baled hay and It required an hour of hard work on the part' of the firemen be fore the fire was under complete control. The upper part of the Wilcox barn was practically destroyed and, Including the hay, of which there was three carloads, and the grain, Mr. Wilcox estimated his loss at ... $.',500.

Where Cats Are Made. To come within the revenue anticipated for the coming year It was found necessary to reduce the appropriation for the police department $1,600 and that for the fire de partment $1,000.

Several matters were referred to the committee of the whole, among the number being the protest of Droge Brothers against the opening of Eleventh street. On motion of Councilman Fleming, It was decided to hold a meetiig of the committee of the whole Monday afternoon at i o'clock, but as this Is election day and the majority of the councllmcn will be busy at the polls, it Is expected the meeting will go by default.

SEW CHURCH FOR THE WEST END Lots Secured and Pastor Named for New Catholic Parish. The erection of a Roman Catholic church In tho western part of the city Is now assured. Three lots, forming the former homestead of A. C. Harding at the south east comer of Twenty-third street and Avenue B, have been purchased and the building of the church edifice, It Is said, will be begun In the near future. Rev. John O'Neill, chaplain at St. Ber nard's hospital, has been .appointed pastor of the new congregation 6nd is taking ac tive Bteps toward the erection of a suitable church building. Definite plans for the proposed edifice have not yet boen made, but It is said that a building costing about $12,000 will be erected. The building will be so planned as to permit of additions when necessary. With the rapidly Increasing population In the western part of the city the need of a Roman Catholic church In that section has been felt for some time. Bishop Davis on his visit to Council Bluffs some time ago Investigated conditions In that section of the city and gave his consent for the establishment of a church there. Recently he appointed Father O'Neill to the con gregation to be gathered there. The church owns several lots on Avenue A near Thirteenth street, which Were given by Father McMenomy, a former pastor of St, Francis Xavler's church, as a possible site for a church building at some future date. This property, however, was deemed to be not sufficiently west for the proposed new church and probably will be sold, the proceeds to be used tn the erection of the new edifice. Traveler Shortchanged. ' S. Ingalls, an elderly man enroute from Arkansas to Belle Fourche, S.' P., was the victim of a short change artist on the train between St. Joseph and Council Bluffs, ac cording to the story he related to the po lice yeBterday morning. Shortly after the train left St. Joseph Ingalls was approached by a stranger who displayed a good sized roll of bills of small denominations and asked Indalls to give him some bills of larger denomination In exchange. The stranger counted out eleven $5 bills and fifteen $1 bills, for which Ingalls handed him In exchange five $10 bills and one $20 bill. The stranger, after profusely thank ing Ingalls, disappeared. Later, when In galls recounted his money, he discovered the stranger had handed him but fifteen $1 bills with a single $5 as a wrapper, and that consequently he was out $50 on the deal. Ingalls, on reaching Council Bluffs, re ported the matter to the police, but was able to give but a meager description of tbe stranger who had film-flammed him. Real Estate Transfers.

C0LLECT0ES URGED TO REMIT lows Has a Candidate for Treasurer of the Modern Woodmen Order In tbe Person of Krancls It. Korna. (From a Staff Correspondent.) DES MOINES. March 27. (Special.) Money In the general revenue fund of the state treasury Is continually Increasing and It is believed that there will be no danger of warrants having to be stamped for lack of funds till the next legislature meets at least. The balance In the fund at present is above the danger line. State Treasurer Morrow has addressed letters to all the county treasurers of the state asking them to forward as soon as possi ble the amount due the state from the state tax or as much as is on hand, so that the funds will be In good shape. There will be a low condition of the rev enue fund in October of this year, but with the knowledge In advance that the funds' will run low at that time, State Treasurer Morrow Is confident that he can avoid danger of the funds running out and having to stamp warrants. If the state treasurer had been able to anticipate conditions there would have been less danger during the period that Is Just passing. During the last few weeks of 1907 there was an extra heavy drain on the general revenue fund and the receipts were extra light. This con dition was beyond all expectation and hence no preparation was made for it. Thirty Candidates Oat.

Victory May Mean Much. IOWA CITY, la., March 27. (Special. The victory of the local Interuban line over the Northwestern Vallroad Is a far-reaching matter, as the local line is the first to at tempt compel the steam railways to schedule through freight rates with the electrio lines. If the decision stands fire In the courts, as It will In the opinion of many of the local attorneys, it will establish a new precedent in the matter of the law of freight transportation. The intcrurban at this point has been compelled to handle only local business, as the railroads at Cedar Rapids and at Iowa City refused to glvo through rates or to form any har monious relations with th electric road.
