admissible in evidence for the reason that
they did not correctly represent the prop
erty at the time it was taken in November,
1892. Mr.. Chapman, one of the original APP
praisers of the sanitary district, testified
that the property was in substantially the
same condition as 1t was in November, 1892.
He also testified that the channels cut
through the farm were a benefit rather than
a damage to the land. The court admitted
the photographs in evidence, leaving the
question for the jury to say what weight
they were entitled to on the theory that
the plaintiffs on rebuttaI can show that the
photographs do not give a correct view of
the premises as they existed at the time of
the taking. A lumber of expert millers
were examined this afternoon as to the value
of the milling plant.

urday evening and convene again Monday

count Of the ice under the mud. Farmers
find much difficulty in hauling Scent corn
to town and turning over eighty pounds per
bushel II they are able to find sale for 1t at
all. Shelled corn goes at from 3 to 4 or pos
sibly G cents per bushel. Very Few families
in this town or in the surrounding country
are burning any coal. Most people are burn
ing corn and the coal dealers say they have
not sold one-half Of their usual amount oil
coal this season.
Only four of the business houses in tow
are burning coal, all the rest using corn
This includes two steam blacksmith shops, a
gristmill and a planning mill. A gentleman
who was in Winside today who has business
interests in nearly all towns in northeastern
Nebraska, dealing in fuel and grain, said
that nearly all of their public institutions
as well as private residences are being
heated with corn instead Of coal.

Dubious OntIook for Amcndments.


L. q. Potter, member of the house of rep
rcsentatives in the legislature, was in the
city yesterday enroute to his home in the
eastern part of the county. He was COM
PEELED to make a flying visit to look after
some private business. Efforts to get him
to talk on legislative matters were not very
successful. On the question of a manufacture
ing clause in the mulct liquor law. in which
the people of Council Bluffs and the western
part of the state feel a deep interest, he
had little to say beyond the expression of
his doubt that the legislature could be in
duced to even take up the matter. This,
however, was not due to any new feeling
in opposition to the growing demand for a
more liberal law, but was owing to the deter
mination of the members to permit no side
issues to come between them and the work
of revising the code. He did not think that
any other bills could be considered. He
admitted that the demands for a manufac-
turing clause were becoming more impor-
tunate every day, but still he could see no
possibility OF the members of either house
consenting to depart from the original dis
position to confne the work of the extra
session to the revision Of the code.

New Mining Company Organized.

New Mining
The Gold Dollar Mining and Smelling
company filed its articles IT ineotpor" lion
yesterday. 1t is a new mining company
with a capital OF 49, 800. 900 and owns and
controls some valuable mining property in
Idaho. Until a year ago Incorporation of
mining comparies IN Council Bluffs were
matters of almost daily occurrence. The
mildness of the laws governing the cr-
CARNATIONS OF capital for various purposes
attracted companies from all parts of the
west and hundreds filed their articles If
Incorporation, but never went any further
than selling or trying to sell a little Of
the stock. Under the new law that went
into force last summer a strong check was
placed upon the ambition of men with
limited means to organize million-dollar
corporations. Formerly 500 would pay all
of the expenses connected with the organ-
ization of enterprises with alleged capital
ization OF millions of dollars. Under the
new law not less than / per cent must be
paid into the office of the secretary of
state, and III per cent If the capital stock
is 81 200, 900 or less. The fact that the Gold
Dollar company was obliged to pay out
so. 500 before 1t could have its articles OF
incorporation filed is looked upon as an ex-
cellent indication that it is a strong COM
pany organized for legitimate mining oper-
ations and development. The incorporators
are w. H. Dewey. 7. Lockwood, 7. B. Nc
