WILDING HEARIXO POSTPONED Abewaeo el Pasta! Inspector Causes Delay. C. A. 'Wilding, who- waa acquitted by a district court Jury Friday night on the charge of attempting- to extort money from Charles MeKeown, a wealthy farmer, of Crescent township, and waa Immediately re arreeted by tha federal authorities, was ar raigned before United Btates Commissioner N. A. Crawford yesterday morning. Owing to the absence from tha city of Postoffice Inspector J. 8. Swenson, Wlld . Ing'a preliminary hearing, after ha had pleaded not guilty, waa continued until next Tuesday morning. Wilding' bond wa placed at J800, in default of which he waa sent back to the county Jail, Information on which the warrant for Wilding' arrest waa Issued wa filed by Postoffice Inspector Swenson. It charges that Wilding mailed, or caused to be mailed to Elmer W. 8wanaon, who conduct a grocery store at 701 North Tenth atraet, a threatening letter demanding $400. The let tar, similar in character to that received by McKeown, wa signed "Night Riders."

The answer of tho city In the suit brought In the United States court by the C. B. Nash company of Omaha to restrain th Issuance of the J6CO.00O water works bonda has been filed. The allegations of the plalntif company are denied In detail In the answer, which asserts the city's right to proceed with the Issue of the bonds aa contemplated, and ask the court to dis miss the complaint and to dissolve the temporary writ of Injunction. In it anwer the city In the first place contends that much of the property owned In Council Bluff by the Naah company Is without the benefits of the present water works, or of the plant which the city pro pose to construct and that therefore It cannot be taxed to pay for a water works plant. The city asks that the Nash com pany be required to prove the Value of Ita property In Council Bluffs. The city claims that the taxable prop erty In Council Bluffs Is valued at 117,201. 024, Instead of $4,212,815, as stated In the petition of the plaintiff company, and also alleges the Indebtedness of the municipality to be $2).000, instead of $312,000, a claimed by the Nash company. It denlea that the Issuance of the water work bonds would cause the debt of the city to exceed the constitutional limit. Hearing; on Terminal Tax. Senator C. G. Saunders, who returned yesterday from Dea Moines to spend Sun day at his home In thl city, brought word that the hearing on the railroad terminal taxation bill Introduced In the atate aenate by him, will take place Monday, February 15, before the senate committee on ways and means, to which It was referred. While Senator Saunders 1 hopeful that the measure, N which means much for Council Bluff and other similarly situ ated cities in the state, will pass, he said yesterday that It undoubtedly would meet with strenuous opposition. This opposition, Colonel Saunders said, would come largely from the country districts, which would under the new system of assessment as proposed by tha bill, receive a somewhat mailer apportionment of railroad taxes than they now do. Members of the legis lature from some of the districts, however, after Investigating the matter thoroughly have declared to Senator Saunders that they favor the new planks a they realize that the present system doe an Injustice to cities. Proceeding- Held to Be Regnlar. The answer not only admit the Intention of the city council to Issue the $000,000 wa terworks bond, but claim that all pro ceedings to date relative to these bonds have been legal and In strict compliance with th statute. The meeting of the city council, at which th resolution order ing the submission of th bond proposition at a special election October IS Is de clared to have been a regular meeting. The plaintiff company alleged that this meeting wa Irregular. Regarding the allegation of the plaintiff company that the petition asking for the submission of the bond proposition at a special election waa Insufficient and de fective, the answer set up that the city council Judicially found that the petition had sufficient signature, and that the court haa no Jurisdiction or authority to review the city council' determination of thl question. Other charges made by the Nash com pany in Ita bill of complaint, such a rioting at the polls, voter being deprived of the opportunity to vote. Illegal voting- of women, collusive character of the test suit brought In the name of L. H. Jensen In the district court, are all and each specifically denied in the answer.

(From a Staff Correspondent.) I5E3 MOINES. Feb. 7. (Speclal.)-N. N. Jones, ex-warden of the state prison at Fort Madison, would like to go on the Slate Board of Control, succeeding John Cownle. The situation suggests that be fore the close of the legislative session there may be aome big politic In th game. Last week the senator from Cass county wanted to get Into the resolution for the visiting committees a mysterious clause providing for Investigation Into the man agement of certain Institutions. Someone began to talk about hidden acandals, etc. Then It 'wss remembered that ex-Warden Jonea was sheriff of Cass county when he was appointed warden years axo. It waa also recalled that a good slaed breese has been stirred up at the prison by a doctor who wanted to be prison physician under the warden and got left. Now it ia dis closed that Jones has been picked as the man who Is to go on the Board of Control when the work of reorganizing along dif ferent lines ia commenced. It is John Cownle's place that is wanted on the board, as h's term expires next, and the place must bo filled before the present legislature quits. Cownle is not a politi cian, but is the most independent man on earth. The fight against Sandera at Fort Madison, ao it ia said, haa been only nominally against the new warden, and ran 11 v aaralnst the Board of Control, for the Innovations have all been at least net Inner! bv the board. In fact it. waa Just to bring about a modernisation of methods at the prison that a new warden wa selected, and thus far the experiment has been very gratifying to those respon sible for it. When Warden Jones wa not reappointed he became indignant over the matter and vowed vengeance on the board. But It wa alleged that while he was very good as things went under the old system, he did not try very hard to do anything to better the condition of the men . Now, it is as serted, there has been improvement all round, the food Is better, the chapel ex ercises are brightened by music, the night schools are popular, the Sunday school Is thriving, and the men are encouraged to a better lite. Visiting Committee Again. The house accepted the aenate plan for one visiting committee and changed the number of member to five, but also made It obligatory that they ahall vlalt the three tate colleges, une senate re fused to take up the resolution today.

The young man broke away from them and ran home, where he became hysterical and went Into convul sions which lasted twenty-four hours and from which the doctors feared he would not recover.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 7. "Dixie" I a national air and not the property of the aouth alone, according to -a declaration today by Joseph Nimmo, Jr., one of the few surviving friend of Abraham Lin coln. Mr. Nimmo' statement was caused by a report published her that Presi dent Schneider of the Chicago Board of Education had forbidden the singing of "Dixie" at the Lincoln centennial. ' "That 'Dixie I treasonable I am pre pared to deny from my personal experi ences," aald Mr. Nimmo. "Early on morning In April, 1S65, the news reached Washington that Richmond had been evacuated. There was a rush to the White House, led by the band. I accompanied the crowd. Soon Mr, Lin coln appeared at the window over the front entrance. He replied to the de mand for a speech. I well remember bis closing words, which were as follows: "There Is a ong or tune which I used to hear with great pleasure before the war, but our friend across the river have appropriated it to their use dur ing the laat four year. It Is the tune called 'Dixie,' but I think we have cap tured It; at any rate I conferred with th attorney general thl morning and ha ex pressed the opinion that 'Dixie' may fairly be regarded as captured property. . So I ahall be glad to hear 'Dixie by the band.' "Ever since then 'Dixie' has been re garded as a national air, beloved by the people of the north and of the south. The tune of 'Dixie' was composed by Dan Emmett, a northern man, who wrote the words and the music. For years, before the war It waa sung at, the north and at the south and it will remain for all time a truly national song, made ao by the good-natured humor of Abraham Lin-Lincoln." BRUTAL MURDER IN OTTUMWA Mitt Clara Rosen Beaten to Death on Way Home from Church.
