Term of BOtticggcrs' Convention.
The August term Of the United States
court opened yesterday, with both Judges
Shras and Woolson on the bench. The two
courts will proceed simultaneously, although
In the absence Of any work for Judge Shras
to do ye9teday he occupied the bench with
Judge Wooson during a part of the day.
The grand jury was empanelled and set to
work grinding out indictments for bootleg
gers and others. 1t Is composed of the fol-
lowing men: f. w. Castor. foreman; w. j.

At the afternoon session several prisoners
were arraigned. James Given of Creston,
Frank Vardeman of Red Oak and George
Doubin Of Red Oak each charged with boot
Logging, entered pleas Of not guilty. The
same plea was made by William Hansen of
Omaha, charged with passing counterfeit
money at the Red Oak races. The officials
claim that they only had evidence to convict
him of passing few dollars but he admitted
to them passing SIC, and they are disposed
to take his word for it.
William Ham of Prescott and Henry King
pleaded guilty to the charge of bootsgging
There is an anxiety to get behind the
prison bars displayed by lot of the boot
leggers that seems quite remarkable to people
who like feather beds and night keys. They
look upon the certainty Of three meals
day without worry, together with a place
to sleep and genial companonship, as some
! thing to be greatly desired in spite of the
other drawbacks. One of the prisoners at the
| last term of court, a darkey, was affected
to tears when he found that his sentence had
| been served and he was to be thrown agar
on tho mercies of a cold world.
Another. who was brought in yesterday
| in conversation with Deputy Marshal Charlie
| Bradley, said: Now, If Judge Woolson is
going to keep me here any length of time
| want you to fix it so that he'll keep me
in Jail all winter, for l feel it in my bones
| that this is going to be cold winter" o.
course Bradley agreed to "ix it,"
Another was brought up from Creston yes
| terday by Deputy Marshal Eller of Atlantic
! The prisoner was in a painful state of intox
| ication, which manifested itself in a copious
! flow of tears. "Yes,' he sobbed, "Im here

DES MONIES, Sept. 2i.-(Special Tele-
gram I'm his report to the governor
Warden Madden of the Anamosa penitentiary
complains of the present rules relating to
the discharge of prisoners from the institu-
tion. They are given new suit each,
transportation to the place Of conviction and
$5 each. Madden says: "All this is well
meant, but it is nevertheless a humiliating
suggestion to them that they are paupers
and objects of state charity. The parting
salute of the state is a stab at their frayed
manhood" He suggests that some recon-
mendation for faithful service and compe-
tency in their various vocations be given
them. The warden asks appropriations for
the institution amounting to $75,6iS. OF the
allowances for the support of prisoners, in
the last two years, $4,000 has been returned
to the state treasury.

Hardman and Standard pianos, 11a N. 10th.
Knockout for One Bank.

The election of II. ID. Harle to the office
Of school treasurer is regarded by every
body as a knockout for the Citizens State
bank, which was McGee's hacker during the
last year. 1t consequently caused a good
deal of glee among the anti-Hannan people
and was pointed to by them as an indication
that possibly William Arnd, who is also a
Citizens bank man, may not have walk
away in his aspiration to be county treasurer
this fall. The fact is, however, that Harle
election could almost be termed an accident,
since one of the men who voted for him did
so with the thought that another man who
had voted for him before would not do so that
time, but he turned out to be mistaken.
There is consequently some doubt as to the
Citizens bank having lost its grip as much
as some would Ike to have it.

The Manager of the Home Declines
the OHcr of the SchOOI RonrI


the Offer of the school Board.
Editor Bse: l notice in your issue of Tues
day morning that the school board kindly Of
feis to rent two rooms of us, fit them up
and give us two teachers for the home chill
dren who are below the third grade. I de-
sire to express to DR.. Snyder and Prof Saw
yer, who presented this matter and to the
school board, my heartfelt thanks.
But, after mature and prayerful considera-
ton or the matter, l find so many serious
objections to the plan that | feel impre sf5d
that it is my duty to decline the very gen.
erous offer made in the homes behalf.
The citizens Of Council Bluffs have ever
been very liberal in their free will offerings
to the home, and l do not feel that l would
be acting manly part If l were to force
them to pay tribute
The home is in no sense sectaran; that is,
1t is not conducted in the interest of any
one denomination. 1t recognizes and laboTs
with and for all denominations known as
evangelical. But do not believe that char
tiles of any nature that are independent of
the state ought to be supported either d-
rectly or indirectly by the state | believe
that the whole system Of eXempting church
ard charity property from taxation is unjust
compelling men to lose their homes or vio.
late their consciences by paying tribute to
institutions to which they are opposed.
Therefore. with thanks, but upon principle,
l must decline the offer Of the board.
But, that it shall not be said that the
home is overcrowding schools, | have taken
from them all below the third grade, and will
at once provide rooms and teachers for them
by means OF money freely sent by God S
people. The home Graves your prayers, your
cooperation and your free will offerings, but
VIII not compel you to pay taxes for it's sup
port. The more | consider the matter the
more firmly am | convinced that | have
no right to gather children from all parts
of earth and then compel the good people OF
educate them nov
VIII so to do or not. Until the phenomenal
growth of the home taxed the resources of
the public schools | had not given the sub
ject much thought l am thankful that
the present exigency has forced a careful
consideration of the matter
The home has ever. and will ever, receive
the homeless children of the city, free of
any charge, but asks no return in the way
OF favors, save such favors as loving hearts
are prompted by the Spirit of God to be-
stow. Yours for humanity.

Goldsten & Brown are being sued in the
district court for 81 600 claimed to be due
for beer furnished them during the time
the prohibtory law was in more or less
force in Iowa. The Lemp Brewing company
appears as plaintiff, and the trial will take
place this morning before Judge Macy. The
old plea that has done service in so many
similar cases will be raised, and the court
will be asked to award judgment to Gold
stein & Brown for $4,000, that amount having
been paid by them for beer contrary to law
This is only one of the queer points about the
old prohibtory law, which hedged the sa-
loon keeper who was unable or unwilling
to pay his debts with protecting fence,
at the same time allowing the brewer and
wholesaler to stay out in the cold. Judge
Macy, his friends we'll know, has no lik-
Ing for this sort Of law but is compelled TO
render decisions in conformity with 1t.
A judgment for foreclosure was rendered
yesterday by default in the case of the Saw
