Lnxity of the Law of that State to Be
Rcmcdicd.

RemctlicI.
SIOUX CITY, March 5.-(Special Telegram.)
Original notice was filed today of suit
to be commenced at the next term of court
against the Farmers Trust company, finan-
cial house with an office here. in which a
decree will be asked depriving it of its fran
chse to do business in Iowa. NJ. s. Foote
the shareholder at whose instance the action
will be brought, alleges that the company's
headquarters are at Chicago, but that it was
incorporated in Iowa to evade the Illnos
law regulating trust companies. He asc
calls the company's business methods in
question and asks that action be taken by the
authorities to compel it's dissolution. The
proceedings are of unusual interest, from the
fact that it has long heen the custom of
foreign corporations to take advantage of
the laxity of the Iowa law to file articles
in the state A decision against the Farm
ers company will cause CONSERVATION among
such concerns all over the country.

for His PcculatiOns.
Charley Altmansperger, the defaultng
manager for the Seifert & Weise Lumber
company at Mnden, has expressed a willing
ness to save the county Of Pottawattamie
the expense of going into the details of
his fcrgeries and peculatons at Minden, and
will plead guilty on Saturday to the charge
of forgery.
Altmansperger was for number of years
the marager of the lumber business of
Setert e. Weise of Avoca, and had charge
of their business at Minden. He was con-
sidered one of the staunch men Of the town.
and had the confidence of everyone. His
plan for getting rich in hurry was to ac-
cept cash payments from farmers and
patrons Of his firm and then forge the
names Of the customers to notes and turn
the cash. He was also treasurer of the
school district at Mlnden, and was not re-
quired to give a bond, so the school dis
trict is out something like 81 900. Quite
a large number of farmers entrusted their
Insurance business with Altmansperger, and
since his arrest IL has developed that he
had habit of pocketing the premiums and
never secured any policies for his patrons.
At the last session OF the grand Jury
was indicted on seven different
counts OF forgery and obtaining money under
false pretenses. He has made no effort to
deny his guilt and seems anxious TO get
the case disposed of and enter upon his
service for the state In atonement for his
crimes Mrs. Altmansperger has removed
from Minden 10 Council Bluns in order to
be near her husband, and is allowed to visit
him daily In his quarters at the Jail.

8 SOUTH OMAHA NEWS
eeoo eeeceoeocoeeeecoeoAo

Mayor Johnston said last evening" while
speaking about the repairs needed on
Twenty-fourth street, that the original con-
tract with the California Petroleum and
Asphalt company was in the vault at the
city clerks office. This contract contains
five years guarantee clause exactly similar
to the Omaha contracts for paving. In fact,
the paving contracts of South Omaha are
copy of the Omaha contract The contract
for the Twenty-fourth street paving pro-
vides that Is per cent of the contract price
for the work be retained by the city until the
expiration of the guarantee to repair the
pavement for five years. This Is per cent,
which amounts to about $15, 900, has been in
vested in bonds of the city, and the city
treasurer states that these bonds are now
in his possession as trustee While IL is
fact that the record Of the minutes Of the
city council does not show any action taken
on the resolution offered at the meeting of
September 8, 1S93 the city holds to the
original guarantee in the contract. When
the work of paving was about half COM
pleted, the company was enjoined from
doing further work by certain citizens on
the plea that the pavement was worthless.
By reason of this. work was delayed about
year, and the company claimed that 1t
was unfair that the five years guarantee
should run from the date of completion of
the work, as by that time over one-half of
the paving would have to be kept in repair
free for a period of six years. The delay
was, Of course, no fault OF the contractors.
On account Of tho absence Of any record in
regard to the resolution, which was intro
duced, averaging the time for free repairs,
there is some doubt IL the city can hold tn.
contractors beyond September l. 1897,
though according to the contract the time
would not expire until September /, 1898.

which has been added by the secretary.
It is:

culosia or sheep scab, shall be considered

Upon Mayor Cleaver and City Clerk Philips
devolved the labor of making the official can
vass Of the ballots cast at Mondays city
election. The wo:k was begun at 8 o'clock
yesterday morning at the clerks office and
was completed before noon.
The result is substantially the same as
shown by the returns taken from the backs
of the official envelope on Monday night. The
only change of any consequence was made
in the count of votes cast for ]. A. Gorham
for city treasurer, and that change in
favor of Mr.. Gcrham, swelling his majority
beyond the 400 mark. This is particularly
gratifying to Mr.. GorhGm and his friends,
for the reason that there was perhaps
stronger fight made upon him than upon
any other candidate. The report that he
was the Citizens bank candidate was in
dustriously circulated and for time it wau
feared that 1t would reduce his vote slightly,
but when the discovery was made that hi,'
opponent stood even nearer to the bank the
tide turned again in favor of Gorham ard
he was carried into Office again by the sec
