brother! and sisters.
At t o'clock thla afternoon every cold
and hungry peraoa la Council Bluffi la
invited to come to tha church on Flrat
avenue near the northwestern corner of
Bayltaa park and eat and get warm. The
church will be kept open day and night
Indefinitely and food and warmth will be
furnished free to every peraoa who ap
plies. The members of the eoagregatloa par
ticularly dealre buaineae men and ethers
to whom appeals for aid are made to
direct those seeking It to the church.
No Mooaa la Taw Good.
. At first It was planned to aerve the
' meals ta the church basement, but J. P.
Davis said no part of the church was loo
good for the suffering, so canvas was
spread over the Sunday school room and
dining room floors and the meals will be
served there.
That there la Buffering of aa scats
, character In Council Bluffs cannot be
disguised, lilas Blanche Patterson, ane
. of the teachers la the North Eight treat
school, was led to the home of one of
, ker little pupils on Friday evening and
found his mother shivering la a thinly
covered bid with a S-daye-oid babe In
her arms. The house wss a tarpsper
shack. The boy, II years old, was the
eldest of five other shivering little ones.
There wss scarcely any fire In the place
and absolutely nothing to est and no
money to buy It.
alias Patterson was attracted to the boy
by his pinched and hungry look and his
thin summer clothing. The father had
been away for nearly two months and
the boy, required by law to attend school
dally, had devoted ovary spars minute of
Ms time trying to earn money to support
Much Water is Used
to Prevent Freezing
The enormous quantity of water wasted
by people, In most cases where the
servles la not metered, to prevent poor!)
protected plumbing from freeslns. has
put a taak upon the pumps about equal
to that required during the Intensely hot
and dry weather last summer. Nearly
5.001, W gallons more wss pumped last
wees man ior tne same period three
weeks ajro, and t,00O.0O mors than th
succeeding week. The water commis
sioners hava given warning that If thb
wests of water continues the supply may
be shut off wherever It Is found to b.
thus Wasted.
It only requires a few old newspapers
a . little Intelligence and a disposition to
be fair and honest to protect fully th
exposed pipes. Newapapers wropper
around the exposed pipes and loosely tlr
will effectually protect them against ordt
nary freeslng conditions. With th
scarcity of coal prevailing about halt a
carload was wasted to furnish tha power
to pump the additional water.
Following Is the official report of the
condition of the city water during the
last week:
ftoure. Bacteria per CO.

CRAZY HORSE SEEKS HELP .
TO LOCATE SWINDLER
' Charley Crasy Horse and his family,
who say they were swindled by an alleged
manager who enticed them from tha
Union depot In Omaha while they were
en route from Chicago to Oklahoma, went
to Omaha yesterday to appeal to the
police for assistance la finding. the maa
who had deceived them. All were given
tickets across the bridge by Chief Froom.
Accompanying them we Mr. Dredge,
owner of the boarding house on North
Sixth street where the family wss plop
ping after fro.r board had been guar
anteed by the man .who has robbed them.
0. C. Brown, In whoso moving picture
show here the family played a success
ful engagement, told the police yesterday
that he paid their "manager" In full for
their services, and there appears to be no
doubt but th fellow thus collected their
pay at all of the places In Omaha and
Council Bluffs where bs made engags-1
menu, after he had Induced them to
spend every cent of their own money to.
pay their board bills upon the promise
that they would be relmbursd. The fel
low Is said to be well known In Omaha
as Curley Harris, alias Bsm Harris, alias
8am Scroglea. If Crasy Horse can man
age to get a grip on him the "manager"
will probably be ready for hospital treat
ment. Crasy Horse is an athlete and
hs feels very greatly peeved.
Council-Bluffs
people will take this matter seriously and
relieve the poor of this city and do it now.

nie Will Help tha Poor.
COUNCIL BLUFFS, Is., Jan. tf.-To
the Editor of The Bee: I desire to say
I feel like patting Dr. Donald Macro on
the bark for bin poiltlon to help the city
distltute. I always thought that th
doctor's heart was In the right place and
now I know It Is. I hops the ministers
of th city will take kindly what Dr.
Macraa said In th matter at the
Christmas time. Much was dona to givs
th poor not only a good dinner, but
enough to but a week, I know ol my
own personal knowledge that tha mayor
of this city spent three week to gather
th food and clothing and to distribute
them, but sine that tlm th longeei
cold sera and more weather has prevailed
and now no one person, though ho be
mayor, could teach ar.d relieve th ter.tbie
suffering, but It should bs a concerted
action by all that are able to sssltt In
this matter. W should not stop to ask
who they are, whether white or back.
nor what brought on their suffering, they
are human and have feelings, though
their fathers ma be drunkards. No just
person would condem a viper to perish
with eold and hunger, though he' had bit
th most Inocent. Now I hope the church

LINCOLN, Neb., Jan. It -(Special. )
Applicant has been made to the supreme
court of Nebraska for a new trial and a
rehearing of the case of the state r gainst
4aU, which war decided in favor of the
state in Novemberr 1SW. By that de
cision th right ot the state to the most
.a-uable part' ot a schoor section in
Cherry county was fully established, tbe
-ontenbon of Attorney General . Martin
ueirrg sustained. " ' '-
This case is on of great importance te
the entire state, as lu surveyors bave
reported that many school sections or
parts of them are now claimed by ranch
men, their claims being based on survey
made on a wrong theory subaequent to
the original survey under which the state
was granted section M and It In every
towrKhJp for school purposes. Th de
cision in the Bail case will permit the
state ta clear away any clouds on the
title to its lands made by thes subse
quent surreys. . . . .
In their brief on motion for rehearing
counsel for Bail hava quoted extensively
from a recent decialbn ot Judge Sanborn
of th United States circuit court of ap
peals, which Involved the . ownership ot
th old river bed of th Missouri near
East. Omaha, la which C. B. Hannan
claimed title through purchase from the
state. A . . ... i ... ,
The federal court held that the Mat
of Iowa waa now estopped to dalra own
ership In the old river bed by reason ot
Its permitting th railroad company to
spend a large amount of money In Im
proving the land and in collecting taxes
tor those twenty-six years. Th a late of
Iowa mad no claim of ownership during
those twenty-six year. ; . - .
beoauae Ball paid 116 tax t th tate
of Nebraska on the school land In Cherry
county his attorney are now claiming the
Iowa case Is a parallel one. They are
inalatlng that th Mat ot Nebraska Is
estopped to claim any ownership la this
school land. ... - -
But Attorney General Martin ha
pointed out that th elate of Nebraska
never admitted the wneratilp of Ball.
Th atat ot Nebraska ha always leased
this land along with other school lands,
thus claiming ownership. Mr. Martin In
stita that th official of Cherry county
had no authority to assees this school
land ot the state, even though It was
