FIVE PAPERS I GET TUBS WORK
Proceedings of County Board Will Bo
Given Pabllclty.
The proceedings of the Board of Super
visors of Pottawattamie county win hence
forth be published In five papers of the
county Instead of three, as heretofore. In
view of the fact that there were two
county seats In Pottawattamie county, the
board yesterday, after listening to argu
ments by
attorneys representing the pa-k
pers seeking the contract, decided that the
county was entitled to publish Its pro
ceedings In five official papers Instead
of in only three, as has heretofore been
done.
Inasmuch as only five papers had entered
applications to be designated as ths offi
cial publications, this did away with any
contest and the board awarded the con
tract to the following five publications:
The Council Bluffs Nonpareil, the Council
Bluffs Weekly Times, the Neola Reporter,
the Avoca Journal and the Oakland Acorn.
They will each receive tS cents per square
for publishing the official proceedings of
the board.
The Frele Presse, a German publication
Issued In this city, will alto publish the
proceedings at 25 cents a square.
As a result of this new construction of
the law regulating the number of official
papers, the county will pay two-thirds
more than heretofore for publication of
Its official proceedings. The contract with
these papers provides that the proceedings
of the board must be published within
thirty days.
So many attorneys were Interested In
the proceedings before the board relative
to awarding this contract for the publi
cation of Its official business that Judge
Thomell was . compelled to order a recess
of district court while the lawyers ap
peared before the supervisors on behalf
of the respective clients. . .
After disposing of this matter and at
tending to some routine business the board
adjourned until February S, but will meet
with the supervisors of Harrison county
In Joint session as a drainage board on
February X.
NOTARIAL REAL WAS . LACKING
Young; Couple from Little Blonx Fail
t to Get Married.
Bert King . and Reta Riley, a young
couple from Little Sioux, appeared at the
office of the clerk of the district court
yesterday morning and made application
for a marriage license. The bride-to-be
was but 17 years of age, but the couple
had taken the precaution to bring with
them the written consent of the young
woman's parents and they anticipated no
trouble In obtaining the license which
would authorize the ceremony. When Dep
uty Roy Hardesty asked the usual ques
tions regarding the age and other qualifi
cations of the applicants for the marriage
license young King produced the document
Dearing ine signatures of the young
womun's parents. The eagle eye of Dep
uty Hardesty, however, at once perceived
that the consent lacked the acknowledge
ment of a notary public and he declined
under the circumstances to Issue the
license. The young couple was thoroughly
disappointed and showed It as they left
the court house after stating they would
return home and have the defect remedied.

fendanls, containing arguments why the
suit should be dismissed. They follow the
oral representations made by Judge TL S.
Lovett and other officials of the allied
Harrlman roads and their counsel before
President Taft, the atlurney general and
other officers of the government at the
White House several weeks ago.
The railroad Interests contend that the
government cannot win the suit on the
Issues presented and for this reason, among
others, they urge that further proceedings
be dropped. It Is arvued that the two
railroad lines are not competitors within
the meaning of the statute. The suit to
dissolve waa brought by the government
under the Sherman anti-trust law.
Mr. Wlckeisham Is to prepare a

over them with Frank B. Kellogg and
C. A. Severance, who has represented the
administration In the litigation, before

Advises Cities
Make Bids
to
Chance for Western Town to Get the
Meeting of Governors for
Next Year.
(From a Staff Correspondent.)
LINCOLN, Jan. 27. (Special Telegrom.)
"Some western city should get busy to
secure the next conference of governors,"
said Governor Shallenberger, who, with
Mrs. Shallenberger, arrived last night from
the east after his visit to Washington.
"The chances are excellent to get the
meeting either In Illinois or Nebraska,"
the governor continued, "slnco It was the
opinion that the next session should be
held at some point not so close to the
political center of the nation, where every
Interest with which the governors have to
do has an able representative. I see no
reason why a Nebraska city should not be
selected, though Illinois will doubtless put
up a strong fight for the meeting. .
'The governors took no decided action on
the water power resolution Introduced by
Governor Shafroth ot Colorado Intended to
give to the separate states 'ths benefit ot
Income from watfr power sites. Governor
Hughes suggested that, the next meeting
should take a definite stand on this proposi
tion and I believe It .will be done."
When Informed that Mayor Dahlman had
filed for governor and that W. H. Thomp
son would run and C. O. Whedon had an
nounced his candidacy for United State
senator the governor had no comment to
make.
"I had expected the field to be full," was
all he said.

GRAND JURY AT LINCOLN
LOOKING INTO PRICE PACT
Member of Wholesale Grocery Firm
Called Before Body to Give
Testimony.
LINCOLN, Jan. S7.-From' the fact that
A. K. Hargreaves was one of the wit
nesses before the grand jury yesterday, It
Is generally believed that that body Is sti
ff aged in making an Investigation Into the
workings of the alleged meat trust. In a
recently published article Mr. . Hargreaves
made the assertion that four local represen
tatives of the big packing houses have a
close working agreement; that the prices
made by each of them are absolutely the
same at all times and that a dealer whose
credit Is not good with one of them can
not purchase from any of the others.
It Is alleged that a dealer who does not
pay up his account promptly at his end of
the week Is not only barred from further
credit from the house with which he has
been dealing, but that an order placed
with either of the other houses will not
be filled. It Is further charged that there
Is absolutely no competition In the matter
of prices. Mr. Hargreaves Is a wholesale
gTocer,

fected, and completes the curs before yott

Kidney or Urinary derangement, or feel
