CKESTOJf, T-, April 21. (Special.) The
spring mooting of the Counoll Bluffs Con
gregational association closed hers last
: night with addresses given, by Rev. Mr.
i Wood of Red Oak and Itev. Mr. Spellman
' of Atlantic. Xr O. Ok Smith of Council
"B ruffs gave a report from the National
Church association, which he attended last
falL Council Bluffs will get the fall meet
ing of the association, at which time their
new church will bs used. Shenandoah
rooks for the spring meeting of 1912, at
whloh time they will use their new church
now In process of erection, for welcoming
the association. Three new churches have
been begun during the last year, one at
Urlswold being dedicated in December.
rtev. John Walker of the Creston church
was chosen to deliver the association ser
mon at the fall meeting in Council Bluffa
"I gness this Is a put-up 5oh," remarked
Councilman Miller at the adjourned meet
ing of the city council last rright. when It
was discovered at 8:20 only Councilmen
Miller, Mat Peterson, Tom Tetersnn and
FUha were present, not a sufficient number
to form a quorum. The absentees were
1 Councilmen Ftanek, Walters and Hoffman.
"It is a poor place," replied Mayor
Tralnor, "for put-up jobs, with so much
Important business to transact."
When Councilman Tom Peterson moved
an adjournment to next Monday night at
S o'clock. Councilman Miller thought thnt
they should' wait a little while longer.
"But it is now 8:20," answered the mayor,
"and they all know the amount of business
to be transacted, which has been accumu
lating through no meeting being held Mon
day night. Everyone knew of the meeting
and had ample time to be present."
Upon receiving thlt reply Councilman
Miller seconded the resolution and the
council adjourned to next Monday.
Important Matters Pending.
Among the Important business referred
to by the mayor was the reception of bids
for several grading districts. Then the
committee was to report on the material
for quite a number of paving districts, for
which selections were received at the meet
ing April 9. It Is well known that a
strong contest is being waged whether It
shall be sarco or brick.
Another report to be received was that
of A. A. Wright, T. C. Caldwell and B. R.
Wright, the appraisers appointed by the
mayor to ascertain the damages, If any,
that would be sustained by the abutting
property owners through the construction
of the viaduct over the tracks at F street
from Twenty-ninth street to the boule
vard. In the opinion of the appraisers no dam
age will accrue to any of the abutting
property by the erection of the proposed
structure.
This is a work that has been delayed
for years through the opposition of the
railroads Interested to the building of a
viaduct of sufficient strength to carry a
street car service. The question is now In
the courts and would have been heard at
the last term of the district court but for
the Illness of one of the counsel for the
railroads.
Bells Liquor from Wagon.
Ben Diets, who said he was employed
by the HUler Liquor company, Omaha, waa
arrested yesterday afternoon by Officer
Scott for selling liquor, as charged, without
a license. He had a wagon in which there
were about three dozen Jugs of strong
spirits. This mode of selling liquor in the
foreign quarter of the city waa prevalent
some months ago until frequent arrests and
heavy fines put a stop to it. Diets was re
leased on $100 bond until his hearing in the
police court.
Why She Fled Foster Parents.
That she was llltreated and made to do
work she was not fit for was the explana
tion given In police court yesterday morn
ing by Mary Koresek, when she was asked
why she ran away from her foster parents.

street a .It appeared that on the death of
her mother she was taken charge of by the
Huffskys She lived with them five years
and when she reached the age of 17, she
considered it time to Improve her position
and get Into more agreeable surroundings.
The foster parents then asked the assist
ance of Probation Officer MoAulay to get
the girl brought back. He located her with
Mr. and Mrs. Whlttlngton at Twentieth
street and Missouri avenue. The officer
said she was well cared for and there waa
no occasion to send her to a detention home
which the Huffskys had asked him to do
in the alternative of not getting her back.
The case came before the court on a
complaint by tbe girl that she had been
followed by the Huffskys and threatened.
The case was dismissed by Judge Callnnnn
CLOSE ori the Huffskys giving an understanding
mat iney wouia cease annoying tne girl.

WEBSTER CITY. la . April 1 (Special
SPRINGFIELD, 111.. April 2. -Three Im
portant points developed today during the
hearing- before the senate bribery investiga
tion committee.
The first waa the defiance of a commit
tee mandate by Edward Tilden. Chicago
packer and' banker. Tilden was under
subpoena to produce his banking accounts
In person before the committee today. In
stead he sent a lawyer. The lawyer read
an affidavit and letter to the committee
from Mr. Tilden. The affidavit said that
Mr. Tilden knew nothing and his bank ac
counts showed nothing touching directly or
Indirectly upon the election of Senator
Irfirlmer. The letter stated Mr. TKVlen
would allow one member of the committee
te examine his bank accounts In confi
dence, provided Tilden was allowed to name
such member of the committee. Although
the committee held two executive sessions,
this afternoon and tonight, Its members
had not decided at a late hour what would
be done in Mr. Tllden's case.
Evidence oa Jackpot.
Trie second development was when Wil
liam Burgess, a Duluth (Minn.) electrical
contractor, testified that as late as March,
1911, T. A. Wiehe. brother-in-law of Ed
ward Illnes. declared that he subscribed
110.000 to a Jackpot used to effect the elec
tion of I.orlmer. Burgess said this con
versation took, place on the Winnipeg Flyer
In the smoking compartment of a sleeping
car.
The witness said he was making a trip
from Duluth to Virginia, Minn., at the
time.
The third phase of the case against Sena
tor Lorlnier was opened by former United
States Senator Albert- J. Hopkins of
Aurora. Mr. Hopkins testified that former
Slate Senator McCormlck of Madison
county had told Mr. Hopkins' secretary.
John M. Peffers. that Senator McCormlck
had been offered S2.5ftO to vote for Mr.
Lorlmer. Former Senator Hopkins provef
s somewhat reluctant witness and his
memory was poor regarding many things
said to have occurred about the time of
l.orlmer's election.

IN A CLASS BY HIMSELF
Mexican Soldier la the Moat Peculiar
Flshtlns; Man In the
World.
The Mexican soldier is the most peculiar '
fighting man in the world. When I say
Mexican soldier, I do not mean the Mex
ican army man alone, but the Mexican ln
surrecto as well. They are of a distinctly
different type. Since the Insurrection broke
out, on October 22, last. I have several
times seen both the regular and the lnsur
recto In battle, under fire and firing at the
enemy; and, while I candidly admit that
my respect for the Mexican as a fighter
was at low ebb before I saw htm on the
battlefield, It is now the highest. He may
be afraid of the bullets; but. If he shows It
in one Instance, he performs some feat the
next that detracts from any streak of "yel
low" he might be accused of. He Is either
fearless or Ignorant In a certain brute way
of the real danger of war.
I have seen the InsuiTectos under flreH
when they did not evidence as much con
cern as If It were raining. 1 have seen the
federals under a hall of fire from the In
suri'futos, with wounded and dying com
rades near to make them wary ot the fate
that tn:ht await them also, when actually
thev stood in plain view of the enemy to
drink a cup of coffee. Then I have seen
the Insurrectos, on the open country, scam
per like sheep in a storm when they feared
an attack from the federals, and 1 have
seen the federals run like deer to get out
of the way of Insurrecto bullets, after hav
ing previously charged directly in the face
of the enemy's rifle pits without a waver
until their commander had given the order
to retire. It may be discipline with the
federals that makes them stand In face of
the enemy and Intuition with the Inaurrec
tos that makes them run when they are
not In the mountains.
The Insurrectos fought their battles as If
they were doing a day's work and were
afraid they would offend the 'business
agent" by finishing It too soon. There was
no excitement, no hurry about their meth
ods. Without any apparent tumult, a band
of ten or fifteen men would come slipping,
sliding and crawling down the side of the
hill that protected us from most of the fed
eral bullets, Into the bunch of visitors and
brother Insurrectos at the bottom, guns
smoking and hot from use; and ten or a
dozen fresh men would slip up the rocky
side of the hill to take their places on the
top, climbing silently, swiftly and with the
agility of a cat. Nearing the top, they
would drop suddenly onto their stomach
and then push their way blowly to the
crest, where, from behind a bowlder or a
dump of desert weed, they could draw a
bead upon the enemy in the valley below.
Some were cowboys, some were small mer
chant, some were former federal office
holders who had won gubernatorial or
pieaidentlal disfavor and been dlsuilsaed,
some were vaqueros, some were freighters
and some had formerly served In the fed
eral army one told me he had "escaped"
from the federal army; but one was Just
as eager for the fray as the other. Leslie's
