Mr.. r. F. Foster of the New York Sun, in
speaking of DIR. Walls of this city, says
that he has that peculiar gift, which all
poker players envy, of knowing by intui-
ton Just when the adversary Is weak or
strong; that his Judgment of the proper
moment to lead trumps is remarkable and
his ability to coax a trump lead from the
adversaries is little less so. He seems to
speak from experience.

Mrs. Davidson Intimates She Has
other Sensations to Spring.

SAN FRANCISCO, Lee. 31.-Popular in
terest in the sensational charges made against
Rev. DR.. c. o. Brown, pastor of the First
Congr: gational church, and Miss Matte Over
man, has increased rather than abated. Mrs
Mary Abbott Davidson, who brought the
charges Of improper intimacy against the
clergyman, is still in the city prison. Her at
tcrrey said today that tine dispatches about
Mrs. Davidson's eastern record and her
Imprisonment at Ipswich, Mass, whether
trut or false had made 1t practically i'm
possible to obtain bail for his client, although
the bail had been reduced to $4,000.
Mrs Davidson, In an interview today, re-
iterated her charges against Mr.. Brown, re-
p;ating alleged confessions which she de-
clared both DR.. Brown and Miss Overman
made to her. Mrs. Davidson also says she
will make further sensational accusations dur
ing her trial, involving several prominent
members Of the First Congregational church,
male and female, in scandals similar to that
in which she implicates the pastor.
Miss Overman today admitted that four
months ago she offered to sell local paper
for 81 900 story which she said would ruin
a prominent man in this city. Miss Overman
said when she offered to sell the story she
was under the infusnce OF Mrs. Davidson
and as matter of fact knew nothing against
any prominent man. 5ii

INSIDE Lrcnr ON rnn nrnn wan.
Agreement Had 60 ne Revised seven
Times uefor~ St was Accented.

Times Ucforc " was Accepted.
CHICAGO. Dec. st.--The inside history Of
the brewers agreement presents some unique
features In delving into the !ntricacics OF
the deal Il is evident that the ftm Of Moran,
Krause & Mayer has earned every penny
OF the liberal fee received for the dlnlcult
legal work accomplished. Of which the
framing OF the admirably conceived ogree-
| ment was not the least laborlous. When II
| is said that there were fifty-two brewers
whom II was necessary TO cajole into line,
some Idea OF the task may be obtained. As
the compact now stands, every maker OF beer
| In Cook county is In the association.
The war has ben raging with more OF less
Intensity for two years, Al agreement was
| drawn up tentatively year ago, and since
| that time IL has been revised seven times.
| The first paper was agreed TO by thlrty-scvsn
| breweries, and when three more were added
| TO the list the document had to be changed
| to meet the approval OF the recruits. When
| two more signatures were added TO the
document the new slgners wanted certain
concessions which these who had already
signed were not willing TO allow. Ev;ry
| member of the association had to be appealed
| to individually to couatenance the oltera-
tion which the two brewers demanded. After
while thrte more came in, and this trio
insisted upon revision that the others ac-
corded only under stress OF virulent per-
suaslon. After forty-fve had affixed their
names to the document, II was slow business
whipping the remainder In 1ne-.they came
| In one at a time. From the forty-ifth to
| the hfty-second signature four changes in the
agreement were made.
The Anheuser- Busch brewery was the most
| obstinate OF all. Finally week ago yes
terday. this firm made proposition, which
was promptly and emphatically rejected. The
st. Louis beer men then proposed something
| mider. Friday last, which could not be
countenanced and the following day another
scheme-vjry much modifed--was submitted
to the organization. which the latter threw
out. Last Sunday the beer men held a secret
meeting The combine was then pronounced
complete, with Anhsuser- Busch out. 1t was
argued that the sales of this house in Cook
county amounted to only $4,000 barrels a
year, and II was therefore resolved that IL
| the st. Louis brewers did not come in on the
terms proposed by ths association, the latter
would carry tho war into Newcastle-i. e.,
cut beer rates in the Anheuser Busch ter
rtory This resolution brought the Mis-
sourians to the line On Monday word was
received from st. Louis that the big
briwers down there would consent to the
terms proposed by the organization.

GENERAL TAXES.
Total
Merely a Question of Taxes.

According to City Attorney Hazeton, the
injunction suit which was instituted Mon
day to restrain the Omaha Bridge and Ter
minal company from laying its tracks down
Union avenue was intended mainly to pre-
vent the company from getting possession Of
the avenue until the taxes on the new bridge
are paid. The taxes Of this company for 1894
have not yet been paid, and several months
ago its representatives called upon the
city council and asked that the assessment
be reduced. The tax last year was levied
on an assessed valuation Of $4,000, which
made 1t amount to between $2,400 and 81, 500.
The city council failed to see wherein this
figure was exorbitant, but the assessment
for the coming year was fixed by the assessor
at $50 900, which would make the taxes about
81 500. A meeting Of part Of the council
and the representatives Of the Terminal COM
pany was held at which the tax question
came up for discussion but no action was
taken. Mr.. Hazelton does not think that
the present complication will make any
trouble for the company IL the taxes are
paid, but is confident that until they are
paid the suit will not be dismissed or any
ordinance passed giving right on Union
avenue,

Sold Rugs Too ChenpIy.

James P. Hazard an agent for an Omaha
installment house, the c. +. Adams company,
on Harvey street, came to this side OF the
river yesterday and offered some fine fur rugs
for sale at a very low price. He had just
sold an sS rug to Josiah Danforth
for $3.50 when Officer Murphy, who
had been tracking him, swooped
down on him with his eagle eye and mas
sive fist. Hazards pockets were filled with
blank contracts OF the Omaha house. and
these were taken by the officer before he
had time to slip them out of sight He
claimed to be working for II. b. Ridgely at
SIG Grand avenue, Des Moines The Omaha
firm was notified by the police, and they
said he was working for them, but had
received no orders to begin n
bargain sale. They directed that he be held.
An Omaha officer arrived In the city in the
evening and took Hazard back with him. 1t
is supposed that he intended to get the rugs
off his hands. making what he could on
them. and then skip out. Some probability
is lent this theory by the fact that shortly
before his arrest he was inqurlng at what
time the Kansas City train left.

BIoomers Favored in Jefferson.

JEFFERSON, Ia, Dec. 31.-(Special.) )-The
young women OF this city are earnest advo-
Gates of the bloomer costume. This was
shown last season when they wore them con-
stantly in riding the whesl, and now they
use the costume while skating. The verdict
Is strongly in favor Of boomers, the women
asserting the freedom in skating Is even more
marked than in riding the bicycle. Several
who did not wear boomers last season will
do 80 next year, and this mode of dress has
become SO common in Jefferson as to no longer
attract attention.

$. A. Pierce & Co.'s Favorable Opinion.
The strength and soldty of many of the
merchants of Council Bluffs is indicated
by the uniform success of that veteran shoe
house. S. A. Pierce & Co., at 100 Main
street, one of the oldest and in point of
volume of business. one of the largest shoe
stores in the state with all the hard
times and frantic demands for stricter econ
omy, we are closing up a larger and in
every way more satisfactory business than
we did last year." said Mr.. Pierce. "This,
of course, can only be accounted for by the
fact that we have made prices closer to
the cost mark than ever and kept Just
the class of goods that our trade demanded.
Buying for spot cash and in big orders
from manufacturers when money was of
such pressing Importance to them, we have
gotten all the edge that could be had, and
this has enabled us to put prices down and
keep the quality of goods up. We have
learned that the people want the best goods
for the least money. and we have managed
right along to give them shoes at prices
they could not find anywhere else in the
country. The remarkably sudden lump in
the prices Of leather last summer has not
been permitted to be felt to any great ex-
tent by the customer. We have been estab-
lished here so long and our customers know
us so thoroughly that they feel sure that
when we advertise a, bargain it
never S misrepresented mi % or msled and whep Haee
we have advertised shoes at cost or be-
low they have been carried away at that
price.
"As to the future we have every con-
fidence in it. Council Bluffs has held her
own, and that Is great deal to rejoice
over in times like these. This country has
now about reached bedrock and, in my
opinion. the improvement will be gradual
and sure from this time on. We intend
to do our part by clothing the feet of the
multitude during the coming year, even
