FRIENDLY DISCUSSION
COuncilmen Give Each Other a
Few Light Taps.
More Paving Petitions ana
Favorable Reports.

The CITY council INDUCED in some
good natured discussions at the meet
ing Monday evening in which some
rather personal things were said and
accepted in a perfectly good natured
manner.
Councilman Warner introduced
resolution ordering the contractors TO
remove the pile of rubbish in front OF
the new Palace store and that opened
the whole question of Obstructing the
streets and walks.
Councilman Warner said; 1.-The oullu-
ing is virtually completed and there Is
no use OF the pile of rubbish being leIt
on Kansas avenue. 1 understand that
it has already caused one accident, +4o-
City Attorney Bird-This is a matter
that should be looked after. The city
IS liable to have to pay heavy oarle :
ages if accidents are caused by any u
these distractions. The supreme court
has just confirmed judgment OF Si'OOO
against WyandOtte county because a
fire wagon ran into pile OF rubplsh
and a man was killed
Councilman HugheS-It is an outrage
TO allow the streets and walks to be
crowded with old vehicles and rubbish
At Fifth and Jackson streets
day or two ago the walk was CROWDED
SO that it only left about two feet Tor
people to walk. At Sixth and jackson
streets it is just as bad. The streets
and walks are supposed to be for peo-
ple to use and not for repository Tor
old broken down vehicles
Councilman ElliOtt-Mr. Warner has
started this business and [ want to call

complaints about his place from WO-
men. One said that she tore her dress

that he look after that before he goes
after other people.
Councilman Warner got up and there
was a now-I- -gOt-yOu smile on his

called on me today and this afternoon
my place was cleaned up and l would

DEFACE COOPER's STATUE
Letters Have Disappeared From the
Inscription-Relic Hunters Blamed

New York, June 2o.-The authorities
at Cooper Union learned yesterday that
the statue of Peter Cooper, which stands
in the little triangular plot south of the
building, had been defaced, presumably
by relic hunters. On the south side of
the statues pedestal there were metal
letters composing this inscription:
Erected by the citizens of New York
in grateful remembrance of Peter
Cooper founder of the Cooper Union,
for the advancement of science and art.
Ammo Domini MDCCCXCVII
Sixteen of the letters have been pried
off and parts of other decorations on

CUBANS ASTONISHED
To Find a Balance of Funds In the
Island Treasury.

Havana, June 20.-The administration
Economical, which is charged with the
disbursement of the finances of the
provisional government of Havana and
the province, publishes a statement
showing that from January to May, in
elusive the receipts were $763, 1874, and
the expenses SITS. 22S the balance being
cash on hand. This causes general as
constituent among the Cubans and is
unprecedented in the history of Ha-
vana. Never before have the figures
been published openly. The officials, for
merly. merely made semi-official state
ments, which were not itemized. No
two years of the Spanish regime have
yielded as much as the past five
months.
The English La Lucia in an editorial
based on this fact, says the Cubans
and Americans are watching the results
of military rule, recognizing the i'm
mense influence which will be exerted
in the future political struggle by the
present campaign and adds:
THE greatest praise is due to the
Americans here a this evidence of their
intent to maintain methods of the strict

Bocr Forces Uniting to Crush Britons
in Natal


London, Oct. 26. 4 a. m.-Martial law
has been proclaimed throughout Natal
and the governor general has called
out the rifle associations for the de-
fense of Pietermaritzburg.
London, Oct 26.-The proposed at
tack Of the combined forces of Sir
George S. White and Gen. Yule on the
Orange Free Staters who are supposed
to be coming through Tintwa Pass, is
still to be realized SO far as any reports
reaching London are concerned. The
British continue to stand in readiness
for battle. but apparently the enemy is
still out Of sight
All reports from the front predict an
early, sanguinary fight, but unless the
action comes quickly Gems. White and
Yule will have to meet not the. Orange
Free Staters alone, but the combined
forces OF the Transvaal Beers and the
Free Staters, under Gen. Joubert.
The fact that the Free Staters did
not make their expected appearance
yesterday through Tintwa Pass leads
to the well grounded belief that the
Beers have been made aware of the
British concentration and have turned
their course so as to join Joubert's Is
force without interruption.

EULcr LAW POINTS DECIDED.
Wholesale Liquor Dealer Can Not
Sell Outside His Warehouse

Sell Outside His Warehouse.
Des Moines, Oct. 26.-The supreme
court decided some interesting mulct
law points IN Il decision handed down
yesterday. Henry Potratz of Winnie
shiek county conducted wholesale
liquor establishment, receiving liquors
from the brewers and selling them to
saloons about town. There was no OBJ
section to his selling them at wholesale
from his warehouse; hst it was shown
that he was in the habit of going to the.
saloons, selling the goods, delivering
them, and then collecting at the sa-
tloons. The supreme court holds that
While man may secure authority to-
sell liquor al particular place, it does
not involve the right to peddle it around
town, delivering and collecting where
he pleases. This process amounts to
selling at the place where the agree
ment and collection are made. Potratz
was prosecuted for maintaining a nu-
sance, and Judge l.. e. Fellows dis
charged him. A proceeding in certiorari
was then begun 10 have the decision re-
viewed, and the supreme court finds
that the discharge was wrong, and the
case must be carried further. The de-
cision is important, for it amounts to
Il HQlIlllS lildt IL IlquoT HOUSE indy uul
Isell through agents who call on Gus
toners. The language of the court. in
the opinion by Judge Ladd, is:
The keeping of a place under the
lnulet law does not authorize tha ped
ding OF beer in all parts of the city.
II this may be done at wholesale it may
be done al retail. The accused might
lawfully sell beer at the cold storage
plant. but not elsewhere. His sales at
fJhe different saloons and other places
in the city were unlawful, and it was
in Keeping beer with the intention of
making such sales that the building he
occupied was used"
Another point in this case is as to
the method of canvassing a nulct Pc
itition. The Winneshiek county petition
was filed May, 1897, based on the vote
az the 1896 election. 1t was not can
vassed by the supervisors till January
l1s9S, when it was held sufficient. 1t
was objected that the comparison
should have been made with the num-
Der OF votes at the election last preced-
ing the canvass. But the supreme court
holds this is not true; that the canvass
must be on the basis OF the vote al the
election preceding the taking OF the pc
tition and that the board OF supervis-
tors can canvass when 1t pleases with
out invalidating the petition.
