COOPER'S OLD COURT HOUSE.
Our Sister County Getting Ready TO
Build a New Temple of Justice.

The sentiment for a new court
house in Cooper County has be-
come so strong that the county
court of that county has ordered
mass meetings to be held in the
various townships Saturday Aug.
30, for the election of 10 delegates
from each township to court
house convention to be held in
the court house in Boonville on
the following Monday. The pur-
pose of the convention is set forth
in the following resolution which
was UNANIMOUSLY adopted, Judges
Henderson, Harris, and Fischer
all voting for it,
"Whereas, the judges of the
County Court are being urged by
many of the taxpaying citizens
and voters of the county to sub
nit to them at special election to
be called by the County court
for that purpose, proposition to
issue bonds of said county in such
sum as shall be deemed sufficient
to erect a new modern court house,
and the court being willing to
abide the wishes of a majority of
the voters upon the question as to
whether such election shall be
called, but being disinclined to
incur the cost and expense of such
an election unless it shall be first
made to appear that at least a
majority of the voters of the
county favor the same"
"Now, therefore, in order that
we may be more fully advised in
the premises, and that the cost and
expense of holding a special elec
ton throughout the county may
not be unnecessarily incurred
we respectfully request the voter
of the county to meet in mass con

Teachers Institute ClOses.--Ses-
siOnS Well Attended.

The Teachers Institute for Boone
and surrounding counties, which
has been in session for two weeks,
closed Friday. The sessions were
we'll attended, thirty teachers being
enrolled from different parts of the
state. With the exception Of the
last two days the weather has been
delightful and no one had AN ex-
cuse for playing "hookey." Prof.
j. w. Daniel, who had the work in
charge, has had quite a deal of ex-
perience in conducting institutes
and was given permission to give
the entire examination required by
law for teachers certificates. Those
who successfully pass this exami-
nation will be given certificates
without taking the usual required
examination given by the County
Board of Examiners. The Insti-
tute closed with an interesting pro.
gram rendered to the public at
Stones Hall Friday evening.

Exnee+ "a Win Case.

Washington, Feb. 21.-Attorney Cen
eral Knox's announcement that, acting
on the presidents recommendation, he
was preparing papers in n suit to be
brought against the Northern Securi-
tie Company in the United State courts
caused a commotion In congressional
and official circles. The public an
nouncement was made with the adj
vice of the president to prevent any
great diturbance in value on the stock
exchanges, which was feared If 1t came
in some other way.
The president and the attorney gem
oral are in absolute harmony. 1t may
be stated also that the attorney gen
eral is quite as much in earnest as is
the president, and that he has no per-
sonal feeling in the matter one way or
the other. He believes he will win the
case he has undertaken for the govern
ment.
1t will be a matter of professional
pride for him to win 1t, especially in
view of the fact that he will have pitted

yers in the country-one of them John
w. Griggs, his predecessor in office, and
two of them. John G. johnson and w.
ID. Guthrie. who We're mentioned for
the position which he now holds.
II was said yesterday that the deci-
sion of the government to bring suit was
based on inside information that the
supreme court of the United States
would throw out the Minnesota case.
This is largely guesswork. What
prompted the governments action was
rather the feeling that the Northern
Securities merger could best be
reached. even If the Minnesota case
went on, by means of IA prosecution
taken thru the department of justice
and the attorney generals own initia-
tive The president felt that if there
was to be a prosecution 1t ought to be
conducted under the laws of the United
States and by means of United States
officials.
1t can be stated further that If the
proceedings now contemplated by At
tcrney General Knox are successful in
establishing the facts, that, under the
Sherman antitrust law. the merger is
contract. combination in the form of
. trust or otherwise. or conspiracy in
restraint of trade or commerce among
the several states, and If it shall be
shown that the persons engaged in the
merger are "monopoliZing or attempt
ing to monopolize any part of the trade
or commerce between the several
states criminal proceedings in the
United States courts will follow. The
facts Indicated in quotation marks
must be shown under the Sherman
anti-tru law before such criminal
proceedings can be taken.
The announcement of the attorney
general will lead to an earnest effort to
get action in congress. The statement
was positively made yesterday that the
judiciary committee of the house will
report favorably once more the bill
passed by the last house to amend the
Sherman anti-trust law.
The house also will have before 1t
Very shortly bill carrying out the
presidents ideas as to the publicity OF
trusts and great industrial combina-
tons. This bill was introduced by Rep
resentative Littlefield, of Maine and is
now being considered by the commit
tee on judiciary. A movement is STIR
ring to get the bill TO a vote.

and the state since the law enacted by
the Twenty eighth general assembl!

1898, 69992 The states portion of this
tax was s51.212.S5.
The tax ferrets have been the most

FEDERAL COURT FILINGS.
Union Pacific Defendant in Two $4,000
Suits for COMING Term.

Council Bluffs, Feb. 21.-The last day
of filing for cases at the spring term OF
the federal court will be Saturday. The
present indications are that the term
will be a short one. tho several impor-
tant cases are scheduled to come up
for hearing among them being re-
trial of the Kirk case against the Union
Pacific in which the plaintiff sues for
$50 900 damages for the loss of both
legs as the result of collision between
U. p train and a Northwestern
freight. of which Kirk was conductor.
The case was heard at the last term OF
court but the jury failing to agree was
discharged.
Trial notices were filed yesterday in
the case of Lawrence Brown against
the Union Pacific, in which the plaintiff
sues for $4,000 and costs for injuries
received as the result OF the alleged
carelessness of the company in not
maintaining proper road crossings on
its right-of way. This case was also
tried at the last term of court, when
Judge Mcpherson instructed the jury
TO return verdict in favor of the de-
PENDANT He subsequently granted
new trial.
Trial notice was filed yesterday in
the case of the United States against
H. A. Boyle. of Denison. first lieutenant
and surgeon of the Fiftieth Iowa Vol
unteers The petition states that about
Sept s, 1892, the defendant received
from the United States the sum of SIPS,
to defray the expenses of travel and
services of men from the second divis-
ion of Iowa. 1t is alleged that no part
of said sum was used for the purpose,
nor has 1t been accounted for since by
Royle. The petition asks for judg-
ment of Sl26 with interest at per cent
from the date the money was received.
The trial notice of the case against
former United States Marshal Frank
p. Bradley and his bondsmen was also
filed in the federal court yesterday. The
petition asks for a judgment of $659.56,
with interest of per cent from Feb. III.
1898. alleged to be due the United
States from the plaintiff while he was
occupying the position of United States
marshal of the southern district of
Iowa. The case comes from a disputed
counter claim which Mr.. Bradley holds
against the government for much
larger sum.

value of its live stock, while Texas
ranks second. The former has an in
vestment of live stock of S2T1, S44, 034.
and the latter has $236.227.434. Texas,
however, has the greatest number of
meat cattle, mules. and goats, but the
average value of these and other ami
mails being less than in Iowa, the pre-
eminence in value rests with the latter
named state.

has reached such a pitch that neither
