If any. of the retail stores open. Every poor family in Council Bluffs hould be provided with the materials for a Christmas dinner. Never has there been a more systematic effort made to search out the needy. There lias been an abundance to relieve for the time be ing their necessities. Every charitable organization In the city ha lic-n at work and the private efforts have been unusually extensive and hearty. The systematic methods foilowcJ are indi cated by the work of many of the churches. Christmas trees were pro vided laat night for the Sunday school pupils and wagonloada of toys and pretty gifts were distributed among the chil dren, but there were gifts ef a much more substantial character. One of the classes In the Epworth Methodist 8unday school bought fifty sacks of flour and distributed them yes terday among families that required aid. Other classes purchased coffee, tea and sugar and sent it out with wise dis crimination. All of the generous aid given was confined to the territory drawn upon for the membership of the church. . The municipal Christmas tree was an other huge affair. The services of a half dosen extra automobiles were re quired to deliver the more than 200 boxes and packages that constituted the gifts. Here are soma of the articles placed In the boxes: Five pounds of roast beef or pork, peck of potatoes, peck of apples, three pounds of beans, two cans of corn, two cans of hominy, two cans of sweet potatoes, two large cans of condensed milk, three pounds of sugar, one pound of coffee, two cans of peaches, pound of butter. one dozen oranges, nuts, candy and figs. Many of the boxes contained small packages of flour, oatmeal and corn- meal. At 4 o'clock all but three of the pack ages were out and at nightfall nearly everyone engaged In the delivery had completed their work. Little difficulty was encountered In finding the addresses and getting the right packages at the proper places. The municipal Santa Claus this year set a new record, and all of the work was dons with order, speed and precision. Koehler Tells of Assault that He Made Upon Lubben So far as his olouded brain retained the Impressions connected with the drunken fight that ended In the death of John Lubben, John Koehler yesterday related to County Attorney Swan son all he could remember of ths tragedy at Treynor Wednesday night and the discovery of the dead body of Lubben Thursday morn ing. Lubben apparently withheld nothing. In addition to striking his friend and companion in the head with a hammer he admitted that hs followed up the at tack and beat ths prostrate and help leas man with a heavy billet of wood. Assistant County Attorney Jackson and Sheriff Groneweg went to Treynor yester day and made a survey of the situation, sketching the scene and getting all of the information known about the affray by the people of the village. It coincided and confirmed ths previous published account, but established ths fact that the fight had occurred about 4 o'clock In the after noon and that Lubben died about o'clock In the evening. A young woman was found who saw Lubben lying in the doorway of ths house occupied by Koeh ler and Hlntss, and that Koehler was beating Lubben over the back and shoulders with a club, telling him to "get up and go home." She heard Lubben moan and cry out, "Oh. John! John!" In his signed statement Koehler said ha struck Lubben In ths head with the hammer and when he fell . over and wouldn't get up he remembers of be laboring him with a club.

The Christmas time proved unlucky for a lot of dogs In Dea Molnea for ths city physician today ordered a general slaughter of all stray canines found In the north part of the elty.

Five different parsons have boon st acked recently and three persona who wre bitten by a dog which afterwards developed acute rabies are being treated at the hospltsl at the University of Iowa, Mast Pay Cora easaat lea. A hesrlng wss held todsy in the office of Industrial Commissioner Oarst on ths Martin Walker ease. Walker waa killed while working In ths Des Molnea Union roundheuss some six months ago.

Divorce Makes Children Crtaalmavla. Judge C. A. Dudley of ths district eourt declared In refusing a dtvoroe the other day that the divorce) courta of this oountry are making criminals by separat ing parents whose children are thug de prived ef proper training during ths formative period of their lives. Ho soorwd ths lower courts for their laxity with reference to divorce matters. "Rooont opinions of ths suprems court have, as I have read them, been very severe re bukes to ths lower courts of this stats In granting divorces," said Judgs Dud ley. "In fact I have sometimes been of the opinion In reading ths higher court's rulings thst there is no such thing as securing a divorce through ths higher court I have been sitting In criminal court for a year and during this time have had occasion to consider some di vorces and some criminal matters mat ters which send people to Fort Madison and younger ones to ths reWmatory at Anamosa. I have hsd to consider cases Involving inebriate husbands and their children and cases where recruits were secured for ths underworld. I want to asy that In a large per cent of those esses where young men were sent to. the reformatory and where young girls had gone wrong, I learned they were ths children of divorced parents." No Trains, Coal Famine. With no trains on ths Chicago, Ana mosa at Northern railroad since Novem ber 30, and an abandment of ths north ern half of ths line since early la Sep tember, several of the towns along ths road are suffering for coal. Ths road la In ths hands of a receiver, but permis sion was granted this week to run soms coal trains so that the coal famine could be relieved. Other business, such as gialn and lumber, In these towns, has been paralysed and the cltisens are pray ing to ths railway commission for re lief. Assistant Commerce Counsel Dwlght Lewis returned yesterdsy from Dubuque, where an Injunction case Is being heard in Judge Reed's court in connection with this road. Ths injunotion waa granted at the request of O. E. Farmer, receiver for the road. Ths court, howsver. and thoss interested In ths road art trying to discover soms way In which it may bs financed and operated.
