be held the first six days in Sep

53l are going to wake up the old
town, and want you to be there to
see the elephant walk the trolley
wire. This fair is going to be the
biggest thing pulled off in Iowa
this year. The attractions already
booked would put to shame the
Midway of the first Trans Missis-
sippi, and more shows are being
booked each day. At the present
time it looks as if there would be
more fun in Council Bluffs on that
week than in all the rest of the
state. Every day will be a hot
day, and all the nights will be so
hot that they will be called humid.
Frivolity and fancy will run q
match race, and you want to be
there to see the fun. | take great
pleasure in enclosing pass for
your self and lady. 1t is expected
that you bring your own wife.
If you are not an Elk you
ought to be, and anyway we want
you to come and see the animals
gambol on the green (not cloth J.
The fun and excitement will do
you good, but be sure and get out
your paper before leaving home,
for you won't be in shape to do it
after you get back. Water will
be free, and any man drinking it
Except newspaper men) will be
fined. Get in line for the big
week, and be sure and be in town.
Your card is good any place on
the grounds, and don't forget that
you are married, and have paper
to get out the next week.
Your fellow slave,

LONDON DoCK BILL KILLED.
lis Head Chopped or After n Spirited
 Debate

Washington, Dec. 9-After debating the London dock charge bill for almost four hours the house to-day chopped it's head off by striking out the exacting clause. This killed the bill. The de- bate was spirited on both sides and all day the members were flooded with tel egrams respecting the bill. The with drawal of the support of the lumber and meat packing interests, which orig finally had joined with the flour milling interests in pressing the measure, brought about its defeat. The final vote was 13S to 129 in favor of the mo- tiUn to strike out the enacting clause. Speeches were made in favor of the bill by MT. Tawney of Minnesota, and MT. Richardson of Alabama, and against it by Messrs, Adamson of Georgia, Wag- ner, Adams and Dalzell of Pennsylva- nia, Burleson and Burgess of Texas and Mann of Illinois.

CRUELTY AT MARKLE MINES
PATHETIC STORIES TOLD TO
 STRIKE COMMISSION.

Members Surprised at Some of the Re.
 citais-Dcath of a Wife as a Result of
 an Eviction w oman and Her Two Boys Work Thirteen Years to Pay House Rent and Coal EflI-Husband Killed im Markle Mines.
 Scranton, Pa., Dec. 9.-Tales of evic-
 tions from houses owned by G. B. Mar
 kle & Co.,, the nara ton of the death of
 wife as result of an enforced remov-
 al from her home, and the story of a
 mother whose husband was killed in the Markle mines. of how she and her two boys struggled, years ta pay the Markles the back rent and coal bill she owed them, were the principal features of to- days sessions of the coal strike com mission. The testimony was at times pathetic and surprising to the commits sioners.
 The miners this afternoon concluded the calling of witnesses against the Markle company. In the absence of at- torneys for the Markle company, who are reported to be unavoidably absent, only 9 perfunctory cross-examina tion has been carried on by J. H. Torrey of Scranton, who is representing another
 company. Surprise is expressed that the company has not yet made greater efforts to refute some of the seemingly damaging testimony. Attorneys for the large companies have nothing to say regarding this testimony.
 One of those representing the miners
 said: "rhe independent operators in
 their meeting with the big companies in New York two weeks ago when they
 succeeded in blocking the proposed set clement said the whole matter should go before the commission so that the country would know who Is right and thus vindicate the coal companies. We are willing to go ahead if they are sat- isfied with the 'vindication' they are getting"
 After closing the Markle case, repre- sentatives of the miners called witness
 es formerly employed in the mines of several companies to show that a black list exists and that some os the cCm m- panies had broken the agreement which ended the strike and resulted in the appointment of the arbitration comlnis- sion. It is the intention of the lawyers for the miners to take up tomorrow the conditions at the collieries Of the
 Lehigh Valley company and others in the Hazleton region.
 National Board Member Gallagher re- stunned the stand in the afternoon and explained the powder question as best (Continued on Sixth Page.)

SALE OF LIQUORS IN CAPITOL.
House Sustntns Clause in Bill Providing
 Prohibition.

Washington, Dec. 9.--Tn the house this afternoon the amendment prohibit ing the sale of liquors in the capitol was taken up and MT. Berry, of Arkansas, declared that the capitol was not the proper place to run saloon.
 MT. Penrose, answering him, said the paragraph was stricken out because the committee thought it was not a proper place for it.
 MT. Bailey, of Texas, contended that each house of congress had authority to act in the matter without any law of congress.
 MT. Tillman said he wanted little light on the subject. He had been in- formed that no liquor was sold in the senate end of the capitol. 'The house is simply playing hypocritical game before the people" said he, and en- deavoring to make the senate attend to it's morals"
 The committee amendment striking out the section was rejected, which has the effect of retaining in the bill the clause prohibiting the sale of liquors in the capitd.

COLONIAL DAMES CASE.
Argument Finisac cd tM Interesting Case
 Pending Several Years.

Albany, Dec. 9.--In the court of ap- pea1s to-day was finished the argument in an interesting controversy between the Colonial Danes os America" on the one side and the Colonial Danes of New York" and National Society of Colonial Danes of America" on the oth- CT side. The bone of contention is the name Colonial Dames,' which the plaintiff claims by right of invention and prior use. It appeals from affirm ance of judgment dismissing it's com plaint. The history of the controversy has been recounted many times. The present action began on April 16, 1898, after several fruitless efforts to consol- idate the two organizations. The plain tiff insists that it invented the name Colonial Danes and for that reason is entitled to it's sole enjoyment. The defendants reply that the words are general and descriptive and cannot be appropriated for private use. .st,

STATEHOOD BILL FIGHT.
A Test Vote May be Taken In Senate
 T0-day.

To-day.
 Washington, Dec. 9.-Senator Frye, as presiding officer of the senate, an nounced this morning the legislative status of the omnibus statehood bill. Senator Allison, rep, of Iowa, gave mo- tice that he would call up tomorrow after the morning business the bill ap- propriating for the anthracite strike commission.
 Senator Quay promptly asked to be informed by MT. Allison whether that bill would interfere with the order for o'clock in reference to the bill for the admission of the three territories, and suggested that he feared an attempt would be made to obstruct the statehood measure by appropriation bills. MT. Frye replied that the statehood bill would tomorrow become the unf1n- ished business and could not be displac- ed for an appropriation except by ma- jority vote.
 This would virtually be test on the statehood proposal, and Senator Quay has always insisted that he would well come test
