Another shoe house went to the wall yester-

posted on the door of B. NJ. Duncan's large
retail store on Main and Pearl streets, an

second mortgage due upon demand. Another
mortgage filed just a few moments before

in favor of Joseph Sarrell Of Peru, Ill. A few
moment later a third mortgage for 81, 900, in
favor of the Citizens bank was filsd. The
first mortgage does not fall due until next
April. While the failure looks upon it's fa1e
to be rather serious investigation shows that
it is really not so. The large mortgage was
given to Mr.. Sarrell to indemnify him for
endorsing Duncan's paper at the Council

original purchase price of the stock. There

Mr.. Duncan has been in business here for
about eighteen months. He came here from

business, but had not sufficient capital to
carry the weight of Indebtedness of a large
part of the original purchase price and the

tire Indebtedness will not reach over $12, 900.

Duncan has operated the business in his
wife's name, his own mann being John ].
Duncan. He has made many friends during
his residence here and his business troubles

Evans Injunction Decided by Judge
Smith I'm the City's Favor.

S"ltb IN the Sttys FnNOr.
The injunction instituted by T. j. Evans
restraining the collection of the special as
sessment for the Lower Broadway pavement
has been decided by Judge Smith. who held
that the assessment was legal and dissolved
the temporary injunction that had been is
sued.
In 1856 the council ordered the paving of
Broadway to the river. Later the street was
ordered curbed and graded and 1t was not
until 1888 that the pavement was finally or
de;ed ami the work dCna. The "rllintiff owned
a large amount Of property abutting on the
street, and after paying a portion of the as
he commenced an action in 1894
to declare the remainder of the tax invalid.
The application Of Mr.. Evans for an in
junction was based on five contentious: That
the improvements were made on a temporary
grade Of the street; that they were ordered
by a resolution and not by an ordinance;
that he was not given an opportunity to make
the improvements himself; that the city did
not determine the material to be used be-
fore bids were advertised for, and that the
material was poor and the improvement a
fraud.
In his opinion Judge Smith reviewed the
facts in the case and ruled against the plain
tiff on each count, holding that the work
had been done in a legal manner.
Two-ffths OF the assessment on Lower
Broadway is still due and amounts to over
800 OOO.

DIES MONIES, Jan. S.-(Special Telegraml
All former estimates Of the strength Of
the several candidates for speaker OF the
house are completely upset by Funk OF
Hardin coming out openly for Byers Of
shelby. and thus practically i~Dsuriug his
nomination on the first ballot. This sur
prising action of the leader Of the prohibi-
ton forces is the theme Of general con-
v%ersation in the lobby, Funk says in en-
PLANTATION that he does not want to see the
legislature organized on the one issue, and
that resubmission is in no way affected by
the speakers election. The conceded fit
ness of Byers for the position is another
reason fot action. The same view Of the
matter is entertained by Finch of Hum
boldt, Reed of Story, Ray of Poweshiek, and
other supporters Of resubmission. Being
unable to make any Roadway against the
current, after fully satisfying themselves
that Byers already had enough votes pledged
to nominate him, both Allen and Griswold,
his only competitors. withdrew from the
race, insuring the nomination Of Byers by
reclamation
Aside from the speakership the chief point
of interest centers around the contest for
secretary of the senate. DR.. T.. r.. Hutchins
and j.. W. Cliff, both Of Des Moines, are
the only competitors. DR.. Hutchins bases
his claim on the second term presidents
and his all round availability. Cliff bases
his on peculiar grounds. Six years ago
the senate stood a tie between the parties
and Cliff was regularly elected by the casting
vote Of the retiring republican presiding
officer. When the senate was reorganized
the democrats. by the aid of Lieutenant
Governor Bsstow, proceeded to GUST Cliff and
elect a full list of democratic officials. Cliff
now insists that he ought to be allowed
to serve the senate in the capacity to which
he was once duly elected.
Senator Cheshire of Polk is backing Cliff
and Senator Rowen of Wright is actively
at work In the interest of Hutchlns. There
are not enough senators on the ground as
vet 10 determine the outcome.

Pony Creek School Boys Run n Sue
ccssful Bluff on the Master.
The big boys are going to school this win
ter out at the Pony Creek school and have
advanced ideas on the subject Of corporal
punishment. Further than that they propose
to have their ideas respected, even IL they
have to fight for them.
Mr.. W.. G. Copley is in charge Of the
school at Pony Creek. He has the reputa-
ton of being a good teacher and during the
fall months maintained splendid discipline
among the students, but he found
different conditions confronting him
when the big boys of the neigh
borhood started to school after the
winter holidays. The boys, according to
the old-time customs, formed an offensive
alliance TO increase the teachers crop of
t%!lities. 1t was the usual program. Lewis
became noisy and then obstreperous and yes
.terday the war was declared. Lewis for
some open and fragrant violation of the
teachers orders was called out for a fogging
for the twofold object Of giving him what the
teacher thought he deserved and furnishing
an example for the other boys of the school.
But Lewis was not logged. After making
duly Impressive preparations the teacher
called Lewis out for the thrashing. Lewis
came, but he was not alone. All of the big
boys in school walked up with him and
openly defied the teacher, telling him that If
he touched Lewis there would be such a
scrap on hand as the teacher had never
seen. Mr.. Copley was taken at a decided
disadvantage and realized the hopelessness
of his position. He raised the flag of truce,
suspended hostilities and promised to settle
the affair with Lewis later on.
