LARGE BUILDING PROPOSED.
Robinson Bros. TO Improve Their
BrOndway Property.


broadway Property.
Plans are in course of preparation FOR the
erection of a substantial seven-story build
ing for Robinson Bros on the lot occupied
by their present store on Broadway. Henry
Voss of Omaha has drawn the front eleya-
tion of the proposed structure, which showa
that it will be modern in every
particular. The facade is to be OF
the French renaissance style highly orna-
mented. The entire lower floor, with front
age of a feet on Broadway, will be arranged
for a store room with the exception of the
space needed for an entrance to the upper
floors. The second and third stories are to
be used as apartments for the owners of the
building and the fourth and fifth stories will
be combined for a conservatory of music.
The other floors will be used for Offices
and apartments. One of the special features
of the design for the front will be a grace
full tower on the east side, into which will
be built large clock To equalize this on
the west side will be a truncated tower
supporting a flagstaff.
Estimates on the cost of the building have
not yet been received. Everything will be
arranged this winter in order that work can
be commenced in the spring. Mr.. Robinson
is contemplating securing more frontage on
Broadway and in case he does his plans will
be modified for a larger structure.

NOTES FROM THE DISTRICT COURT.
Judge Green Takes the Case of siEicr
Against Murphy from the Jury.

.uJ,-. crcep Takes the Case of SigIcr
Against Murphy from the Jury.
The case of Sigler against Murphy came to
a sudden end yesterday morning in the dis
trc. court when Judge Green instructed the
fury to return a verdict for the defendant.
Sigler is a resident of the bottoms along
Lake Manawa and he sued Mrs. Murphy for
the value of a corn crop, which he claims
he lost because OF the wrongful suing out
of an attachment. He was given permits
sion TO occupy the land in question provided
he would clear 1t of timber. This. 1t seems,
he did and then proceeded to raise fine
crop of corn. When Mrs. Murphy demanded
that he pay her portion OF the crop he re-
fused and an attachment case followed. This
was decided in his favor. While the pro-
ceedings we're pending on the, attachment,
the plaintiff asserts. Mrs. Murphy turned her
stock into the corniield and destroyed II
almost completely. Judge Green instructed
the fury for the defense stated that the
question of fact as to the malice of the de-
fendant in the suing out OF the attach
ment had not been established and also that
1t had not been proven that there was
legal fence established around the land.
The case of Dollen against Dow d Co. was
tried in tie district court yesterday. The
action Is one to recover on a landlords lien

ALBERT WILLIAMS DISAPPEARS
We'll Known Letter Carrier winds Jp
n Gambling Spree In EliEht.


Gambling spree I'm Flight.
Albert Williams, one of the Oldest letter
carriers In the Council Bluffs service. is
missing, and his friends are wholly unable
to account for his absence. He was born and
reared in this city, and has a young wife
and baby. He has not reported for duty
at the postoflice since last Wednesday. On
that day he claimed to be i'll. and when he
completed work for the day he arranged to
fill his place on the day following. He did
not return to his home on North Seventh
street that evening, but 1t has since been
learned that he spent the night in local
gambling house, where he lost all of the
months salary which he drew the day be-
fore. When the carriers received their pay
for overtime short time ago Williams re-
ceived about $500 as his portion. All of this
he lost quickly at the gambling tables. To
recover this he has sunk all of his salary
since then. His young wife has abandoned
her home and taken up her abode with her
parents She Is nearly distracted with ap-
prehension. and fears that her husband, in
his shame and modification on account of
losing his money, has been driven to despera-
tion and he may have done something rash.
Mr.. Williams father II. L. Williams, is
living in the old homestead in Pennsylvania
and 1t 10 barely possible that his son has
gone to him. Investigation by the postal
officials shows that Williams accounts and
conduct as carrier are all right.

that the difficulties of the treasury are
due to an insufficient revenue. Refer
ring to the loans that have been made,
and the increase of the national debt,
he says: 'This state Of things has
been produced by prevailing unwill-
to resort to direct taxation" This is
not true. Mr.. Mckinley knows it, and
every other Republican who cares to
read the revenue sheets of the govern
ment for the last twelve months, knows
it as well. We showed in the G O b e +,
on Thursday morning, that there dis
appeared from the United States treas
ury, during the twelve months of 1895,
at least $50,000,000 more of gold than the
excess of expenditures over receipts.
We showed that if it were true, as the
Republicans claim, that the treasury
deficit amounts to demand upon the
treasury gold reserve, this falls be-
tween $4,000, 900 and 100000 short Of
accounting for Withdrawals of gold
from the treasury. Consequently, it is
impossible that an insufficient revenue
is the sole cause Of bond issues.
1t is convenient, Of course, for those
Republicans who have made a high
tariff their god, to make this foolishly
false assertion. 1t is unworthy Of Mr..
Mckinley, and it is an insult to the in
telligence Of those whom he addresses.
If the voters of this country find any
thing attractive in the programme that
he outlines, they are welcome to it. On
the currency question, he promises
nothing except an empty generalization,
and bases it upon premises which the
last monthly treasury report alone
completely overthrows. On the tariff,
he promises only all the protection that
anybody wants, and, when pinned down
by request to enunciate a single de-
tail, replies, 81 cannot tell you"

Of the police force, If there are any
such, who could be dispensed with
without tmpairing the efficiency of the
department. Mr.. Van slyke moved to
refer the resolution to the committee
on police, but withdrew the motion.
Mr.. Parker and Mr.. Johnson did not see
the use of the proposed reference. In
reply to the assertion that Chief Clark
had said that he could dispense with
thirty-fve men without injuring the
service, Mr.. Strouse said:
I talked with the chief today, and
he told me that he had never said that
he had more policemen than he need
ed" Mr.. Parker informed the assem-
bly, that the chief had told the confer
ence committee that there were nine
or ten men that might be dispensed
with. This closed the discussion, and
the resolution was adopted.
The resolution from the board per-
hitting the East Side Electric COM
pany, copartnership, to transfer its
rights to the East Side Electric compa-
ny, corporation, was adopted.

ALAS FOR THE ANGLoMANIACs.

ALAS FOR THE ANGLOMANIACS.
Nothing but the misfortune Of those
who stood in the back rows and could
not get a good view of the Duke of
Marlborough at the New York horse
show, or of those who failed to come
within reach of the rays of the Earl of
Dunraven's halo when he was on this
side of the water. can compare with
the present position Of the individuals
and newspapers that have been fight
ing the cause of Great Britain on the
Venezuelan 81 estion, ever since the cor
respondence Of Mr.. Olney and the mes
s. ge of Mr.. Cleveland were sent to con-
gress. 1t was really too unkind Of their
supposed patrons to cut loose from
them and leave them in the doleful
dumps. Here they have been telling
us for weeks that there was nothing
left for the United States but to back
down or fight. This was one Of the
instances, so Mr.. Godkin and Mr.. White
where "Britons never, never will be
slaves" It was clearly impossible that
they should recognize any International
quality in the Monroe doctrine. AS to
the Venezuelan commission appointed
by congress, that has been to them an
occasion for inexhaustible mirth
Imagine, they said to u.s. the British
government recognizing tribunal con-
sisting entirely of American citizens,
appointed by the president, under au-
thority of the United States congress,
to consider controversy to which
Great Britain was a party. Was any
such thing ever heard of in all the
history Of diplomacy? Had we not
opened the way to the most humiliat-
ing snub that any officious nation ever
received? What would we do when
England coolly informed us that the
Venezuelan commission was unrecog-
nizable by her government; that she
knew the members Of it only as private
citizens of the United States with
whom she could hold no communication;
and that if we did not like such ac-
ton as she had taken. or might take in

Venezuela, we could send our navy over
and have 1t out at the lannon's mouth
All the Anglomaniacs Of the Eastern
fringe of states have been bewailing
the temerity of an administration
which, in their minds, for the sake Of
a mere political advantage, had chosen
to revile and contemn the nation that
ought to be recognized as our only
guide, philosopher and friend.
The facts in the matter. leave these
poor fellows in much the same position
as the man who has schemed and pros
trated himself for months to obtain
an Introduction to lord only to re-
ce1ve cool, supercilious stare from
his monocle, a shrug of the shoulder,
and a contemptuous view Of the back
Of his lordship's coat. With apparently
entire unanimity, Great Britain has
not only recognized the propriety of
our action. but has accepted it as
friendly assistance to her and a neces-
sary part of any American policy wor-
thy of the name. The Monroe doc
trine receives as many compliments in
the British parliament as in the con-
gress Of the United States Worse
than all that, however, is the cable
announcement by Ambassador Bayard
that the British government has &C
coded to the Venezuelan commissions
request to supply all of the informa-
ton in its possession on the boundary
between Venezuela and British Guiana
Here is the high and naughty Briton
actually accepting suggestions made
by our minister, and consenting to pre-
sent its case in the Venezuela matter
to commission which has, of course,
no authoritative International status;
thereby enabling the members to come
to fair and intelligent conclusion on
the controversy Of which they have
cognizance
All the elaborate apologies for what
the British government was supposed
to be about to do, and what was de-
clared absolutely essential to the main
tenance of its own dignity, fell fiat.
That government has taken exactly the
opposite course to what it's sympa-
thizers expected and confidently hoped
for, and meets us in a spirit of manli-
ness and fairness which commands the
respect and praise of every true Amer
lean. The Anglomaniacs in society,
whose first object in life has been to
copy the costume and mannerisms of
the Englishman's valet. fell, long ago,
to the level of material for the carica
ture and the lampoon. We are afraid
that the Anglomaniacs in politics are
now about to join them.
