MONEY DEeRADES PoSSESSoR
bishop spalding Says that Great
wealth IL TO he
Avoided.

NEW YORK. Feb. 16.-Addresslng a
gathering at Carnegie hall last night OF
the Utaf St. Vincent de Paul society,
Bishop John Lancaster Spalding OF Peoria,
ILL.,, who was prominently mentioned as a
possible successor OF the late Archbishop
Corrigan, received great applause when he
declared that great wealth is almost GER
tain to degrade the possessor OF It, and
out OF all the men who are known to
reckon their possessions in the millions
he named only one-Andrew Carnegie-as
a man able to rise above his surroundings.
Bishop Spalding admitted the great
power Of money and declared that 1t ap-
peared to be almost the real form Of power
in our day, giving those who possess It,"
said he, "a hold on things that neither in
tellectual power nor faith can give.
''It is the quality OF a mans thought by
the things he yearns for that you must
Judge him." he said. "a man may have
the wealth of Mr.. Carnegie and still be a
thief, an idiot and a brute. II is by how
much greater a man is than are the things
with which he has surrounded himself that
he is to be judged. 1t is not what you
have, but what you are

TALK ABOUT THE BRIDGE BILL
Speculation as to Who is Behind the
Plan to Erect a Fourth
One.

The announcement contained in the
Washington dispatches that Congressman
Walter l. Smith of this city had introduced
a bill in congress to provide for the con-
struction of another bridge across the Mis-
souri, river between Council Bluffs and
Omaha is the subject of much speculation
here. When in the city recently after at
tending the funeral of Congressman Rumple,
Mr.. Smith made no mention OF his in .
tention to present such a bill, and the fact
that he has caused much surprise here,
The general opinion seems to be that
the bill was introduced in the interests
Of the Great Western railroad, but the
railroads local representatives deny this.
They assert that they know nothing OF it
and that II such a move had been con-
templated they would certainly have been
advised.
The Central Railway & Bridge COM
pany, in whose interest ostensibly the bill
was introduced, a corporation said to be
organized under the laws OF Iowa, has not
filed any articles OF Incorporation up to
date in this county and nothing is known
Of 1t, In railroad circles the bill is be-
lieved to have been presented in the in
terests Of the Illinois Central railroad, as
II is said there has been some question
as to the charter OF the Omaha Bridge 4
Railway company now being valid. and that
the Illinois Central. which acquired the
Terminals bridge, is desirous OF protect
Ing itself by securing new charter, even
| II II Is forced to construct another bridge
other people are inclined to the opinion
that the Great Western is back OF the bill
and that IL is Intended. by threatening tc

Speedily Cured by GutlCura
Soap, Ointment and Pills
When the Best Physicians and
All Else Fail.

The agonizing itching and burning
Of the skin, as in eczema the frightful
scaling, as in psoriasis; the loss of hair
and crusting of the scalp, as In scaled
head; the facial disfgurements, as in
pimples and ringworm the awful suf-
fering of infants, and anxiety of worn
out parents, as in milk crust, letter and
salt rheum,- all demand a remedy of
almost superhuman virtues to success
fully cope with them. That Cuticura
Soap, Ointment and Pills are such
stands proven beyond all doubt. No
statement is made regarding them that
Is not justified by the strongest evi-
dence. The purity and sweetness, the
power to afford immediate relief, the
certainty of speedy and permanent
cure, the absolute safety and great
economy have made them the standard
skin cures, blood purifiers and humour
remedies of the civilized world.
Battle the affected parts with hot
water and Cuticura Soap, to cleanse the
surface of crusts and scales, and soften
the thickened cuticle. Dry, without
hard rubbing, and apply Cuticura Oint-
ment freely, to allay itching, irritation
and inflammation, and soothe and heal,
and, lastly, take the Cuticura Resolvent
Pills, to cool and cleanse the blood.
This complete treatment, costing but
one dollar, affords instant relief, per-
mits rest and sleep in the severest
forms of eczema and other itching,
burning and scaly humours of the skin,
scalp and blood, and points to a speedy,
permanent and economical cure when
all other remedies and the best physi-
clans fail

FREE FROM CITY TAXATION
Union Pacific Wins Case Over Taxes On
Missouri River Bridge.
CUTS OFF CONSIDERABLE REVENUE
Illinois Central Likely 10 Refuse TO
Pay Taxes on It's Bridge I'm the
Face of the Present
Decision.

The circuit court of appeals has sus-
tained Judge Smith Mcpherson in his rul-
ing that the Union Pacific Railway com
pany was not required to pay taxes on the
east half Of its bridge across the Missouri
river for municipal purposes on the ground
that ii did not receive any benefit resulting
from the payment Of such city taxes. Word
of the decision OF the circuit court, (which
was handed down yesterday in st. Louis,
was received by Attorney Emmett Tinley.
who was employed by the city to assist
City Solicitor Snyder in conducting the ap-
peal before that court.
The decision OF the circuit court is a hard
blow to the city OF Council Bluffs, as IL not
only means the loss Of a considerable sum
in back taxes. but the looping off OF a ma
terial portion Of its revenue in the future.
The ruling Of the circuit court may also
be far-reaching, as according to II the Illl-
nois Central, which now owns the Termi-
nal company's bridge across the river, may
decline to pay its assessment of municipal
taxes on the ground that the Union Pacific
did.
The suit in which the circuit court has
handed down its decision involved the sum
Of S1S,71397, being the city taxes assessed
against the east half Of the Union Pacific 6
bIluBt lHe years 1881 10 ljUU inclusive,
to recover which suit was brought in the
name of William Arnd, county treasurer.
Judge Smith Mcpherson of the federal
court, before whom the case was tried, held
that the bridge could not be assessed for
taxes for municipal purposes on the ground
that the bridge, owing to it's location and
distance from the business portion of the
city, did not receive any benefits from the
public library, the police and fire depart
ments and the city water works. 1t was
admitted. however. that the eastern termi-
nus Of the bridge was within the city lin
Its, but it was shown on an agreed state
ment Of facts that the land east, north
and south of the bridge for the radius Of a
mile or more was held as farm land for
agricultural purposes only and not subject
to municipal taxation.
The ruling Of the circuit court deals
practically a body blow to the CITY, as II
not only deprites 1t of over $4,000 back
taxes, but cuts off about $500 from it's an
/ nual revenue from this source. This loss
will have a material effect on the appro-
priatlons for the maintenance of the city
departments for next year. The city has
the privilege Of taking the suit to the
United States supreme court, but it is
doubtful II it will do so.

Confesses to Chicken Thens.

COnfesses to chicken Thefs.
John Thordsen Of Fleming avenue, who
with his brother, william, was arrested at
an early hour Sunday morning for raiding
the hog pen Of c. W. Bird, made a con-
fession yesterday, giving particulars Of a
number of poultry thefts within the last
two months in which he said he alone wa1
implicated. The confession justifes the
suspicion Of the police that Thordsen was
responsible for the numerous thefts of
chickens which had recently been reported.
In his confession Thordsen admitted rob-
bing Mrs. Quick OF fifteen chickens, c.
Thomey of eighty-five, Ed Geise of a num-
ber Of ducks and geese, Samuel Avery Of
eighty chickens, Mrs. Mahon Of forty-two
chickens. S. Miller of forty-seven chickens
and Mrs Nichols OF about thirty.
Thordsen's confession was brought about
by Constable Alberti confronting him with
a small rag which he had worn to protect a
cut finger. The rag was found in Mrs.
Quicks henroost the morning following the
theft of her chickens. When confronted
with this Thordsen admitted stealing Mrs.
Quick's poultry and a few minutes later
made clean breast Of everything.
Thordsen and his brother will have their
preliminary hearing before Justice Ouren
Thursday on the charge of stealing Bird S
hog. In default OF bail, placed at $500
each, John Thordsen was committed to the
county Jail. 1t is expected that a number
Of other complaints will be filed against
him. The brother was released on $500
