Conference Committee Mt work

The conference committee of the various
factions in the street car franchise fight held
two sessions yesterday, and at the conclu-
sion was able to report progress.
The conference is using the Dubuque ordi-
nance as sort of basis for compromise
The representative of the street car company
has asked not to have the compromise or
dinance made any stiffar than the dubuque
charter, and the ctizene committeeman has
insisted upon getting in as many liberal
propositions as possible for the city. One
of the features OF the Dubuque ordinance is
the proposal of the street car company to
prepare and maintain a public park outside
OF the city and keep 1t open for the free use
of the public The citizens committeeman
thinks this is an important concession that
should have an equivalent in the Council
Bluffs charter. The companys representa-
live points TO the fact that the Dubuque
charter permits the company to charge 10
cents fare to get to this park and that II
is a big investment for the company. The
company's representative also persists in
calling attention to the other fact that the
Dubuque charter grants a flfty-year fran
chise to a consolidated company, that con-
trolls the electric lighting plant of the entire
city and that II has many other features
that are far more Objectionable than any Of
those conta med In the original charter,

Roth SENT TO THE COUNTY JAIL.
Handlers of had Quarters Get Locked
i'm Tight Quarters.


The two men arrested for passing counter
felt money on Tuesday evening had hear
ing before United States commissioner
George f. Wright yesterday. J. E. Kerns,
in whose possession twenty-four bogus quar-
ters were found concluded to waive exam
ination and go to Jail at once without troub-
ling the officers to submit the proof in their
possession that he was guilty Of the crime
charged against him. William Frost, the
other man, asked to have his case continued
until today, on the plea that he would be
able to show that he was only in bad COM
pany and was not engaged N making a
living by competing with the United States
mints. Both were taken to the county jail
by federal officers.
When the men were arrested they said
they had just reached the city after having
driven from Norfolk, Neb. in a huckster
wagon, en- route to the soldiers encampment
at Oakland Investigation yesterday dis
closed the fact that both men were from
Omaha, and the rig they were driving had
been hired for the trip from an Omaha man.
The police officers feel assured that they
made a good catch. officers Custer and
Beswck were on the trail of the men within
half an hour after they reached the city
and passed the first piece of spurious money,
and had them in the city jail before they
had been in town an hour Several months
ago one Saturday evening the town was
flooded with counterfeit dollars. which were
passed very rapidly by a man and a woman,
who succeeded in evading the police and
getting out of town. They were afterwards
arrested in Omaha by the federal authori-
ties, but after such long delay that they
could not be positively identified by their
victims. Yesterday Frost was recognized as
the man who was in company with the
woman at that time and assisted in getting
rid OF the stuff The county jail at the pres
ent time contains about half dozen counter
feiters and there is an excellent prospect of
further additions within a short time. The
money found in the possession OF the last
two men was evidently made by an expert
and was of the grade as that previously
passed here The mint is supposed to be
located somewhere south Of Omaha, in the
vicinity of Bellevue, and the officers are
hot on trails which they believe will lead to
/ the plant.

MISSING HEIRS.
Sacant English SUGGESTIONS Which Were

Tacant English SUGGESTIONS Which Were
Advertised In 1896.
In.the course of year some thousands
of advertisements appear in the "agony'
columns of the English press, inquiring
for missing heirs, legatees and others.
These notices, which are often Of most
romantic character, have peculiar fasci-
nation even for people who have no Eek
pectations. A few jottings on the more
important cases for 1896 may therefore in
terest your readers.
Vacant SUGGESTIONS await the heirs of
Edith Harrison, widow of F. Bockel, and
her children who were found dead near
Brussels, supposed to have been murdered.
And considerable property is due to the
next of kin of John Leddy, formerly of
Cavan and late of San Francisco. Miss
Kate Norris of Dublin, who died in 1894,
is supposed to have been without any rela-
tives, and the heirs of Miss Margaret Mid
dlemiss Of Musselburgh are missing. H.
j. Masters of Hull, last heard of in 1884,
has become entitled to funds through the
death of his parents. The brothers of Mas
myth Morrieson, who died in 4India in
lS46, are sought; also the descendants of
Rowland Cowper, who died in London in
1928. The residue of the estate of Mrs.
Isabel Fyffe, formerly Of Bombay, who died
in 1878, has, in the absence of heirs, fallen
to her majesty, the queen, and the "non-
naizemut" children of his late highness,
the Nawab Nazim of Bengal, are inquired
for. The descendants of DIR. Joy Adolphus
