FISH STAND DOORS
 CAUSE OBJECTIONS
ORDINANCE INTRODUCED AT CITY COUNCIL LAST NIGHT TO REcU- LATE PLACES WHERE FISH ARE KEPT FOR SALE.

On and after October 1 it is probable that no fish stand will be allowed to occupy any building in the city with more than one story. A resolution to this effect was introduced in the City Council last night by Alderman Moore of the Fourth ward. At the suggestion of the mayor no action was taken until the mem bers of the council had time to learn its significance.
 The mayor explained that number of fish stands were now located on the ground floor of buildings occupied above by roomers, and that complaint of odors and other annoyances were constantly arising. By forcing dealers to seek places remote from small hotels and other places of a similar nature he thought the nuis- ance could be easily abated. The resolu- ton was referred to the miscellaneous committee, of which Alderman ONeill is chairman.

TRIED TO SHOOT
 DEPUTY SHERIFF
MAN WAS PULLING TRIGGER, WHEN R. J. GREENWOOD KNOCKED PISTOL DoWN-HE IS THOUGHT TO BE A CRIMINAL.

Deputy Sheriff R. J. Greenwood had a narrow escape from being killed yester- day afternoon while attempting to arrest a boisterous passenger on an incoming passenger train of the Southern.
 It seems that the man, who escaped and whose name could not be learned had fired a shot from his pistol while on the train. The deputy sheriff went to place the man under arrest. and when he approached him the train was at Re- public.
 The man was standing on the step of the train preparing to alight. Deputy Greenwood saw the barrel of the pistol in the inside coat pocket of the man. He made an attempt to get it. but In the meantime the man had aimed 1t at the of ficer and was in the act of pulling the trigger when the deputy knocked the gun down.
 Greenwood finally secured the pistol and turned it over to the sheriff It Is thought that the man, who was fairly well dressed, is criminal, owing to the fact that he made an attempt to take the life of the officer
 When the pistol was wrenehed from his hand the man jumped from the train and escaped.

Whichever of these ave- nues is decided on will be paved to the city limits, and there connection will be made with the Lakeview end of High land avenue, which starts about Thirty second street. and which is already paved.
 This new paving will also make a completely paved driveway through large portion of the prettiest residence portion of the city.
 The matter was taken up at the meet ing of the city council last night.
 Alderman F'ulghum asked that the city engineer be instructed to frame an ordi- nance for the paving of Twenty-f1rst street to Avenue F or Avenue G, with bithulithic. His resolution also embodied the paving of one of these avenues with the same material from Twenty-nrst street to Highland avenue. near Lake view, and out the avenue to meet that portion of the avenue that has already been paved. When put to a vote every member of the council present favored the resolution and an ordinance will be drawn up in time to be presented at the next meeting.

When the work is finished one may drive out Twentieth street to Highland avenue, around that avenue and complete the circuit over the streets named in Alderman Fulghum's resolution. The or dinance authorizing the Mayor to borrow s550O was read the third time and unan- imously passed. The money Is to be used for street improvement and the ordinance had been favorably reported by the ju- dietary committee.
 Alderman Cooper announced that he intended to ask for certain paving work in connection with the Highlands drive way He had reference to the paving of certain portions of Second avenue and will ask the city attorney to draw up separate ordinance.

HOP JACK SALOONS
 WANTED LICENSE
APPLICATIONS CAME THICK AND FAST YESTERDAY AS RESULT OF CHARGE OF JUDGE GREENE TO GRAND JURY.

grand jury Is making a careful investi- gation into the matter of the "hop-jack" saloons that are doing business without licenses six applications for licenses were filed yesterday in the probate court.
 Such a large number have not been issued in some time, and the fact is at tributed to the clause of Judge Greenes s charge to the grand jury in which he stated that the jury should make a care full investigation into the alleged hop jacks that did not have licenses. There is revenue of from $35 to $50 to the state and county from annual licenses to hop-jack saloons

Appended to the figures submitted to the committee was the following statement: Finance Committee:
 "All receipts of city and all expenses, except bond interest, are included in above statement. Therefore. there is a net gain of about $24,000 on deficit.
 Some bills to larger creditors have not yet been paid. This accounts in part for the smaller amount borrowed by this ad- ministratioq.
 Tt is probable the city will get through the year without borrowing in excess of charter limitations, viz, s50,0O0.
 Respectfully submitted,

Tama, June 2S.-The Central Iowa
Chautauqua Association opened its
third annual session Monday under
very favorable circumstances The
attendance at the opening meeting was
such as to guarantee the success of
this years venture, over 1000 people
being present. A new plan was tried
this year, the management determining
to bid for large attendance by re-
ducing the price of admission to a
merely nominal figure. A nine days
program, as good as any in the state,
was furnished and season tickets sold
at 81. The result was the sale of
enough season tickets to almost meet
the guarantee for expenses.
Colonel George w. Balm delighted his
vast audience Monday, and Sam Jones
was the attraction Tuesday afternoon.

this session is the free morning enter

MAY BE AN ASSAULT.
Belief Expressed That White Was Hit
On the Head.

Des Moines, June 2S.-Friends of
Virgil White believe that he suffered
mental alteration caused by blow on
the head.
They believe that he was assaulted
by some one who tapped him on the
head with club or slug shot, or fell
out Of the boat and struck his head on
a log or other obstruction with suffi-
cient force to injure his brain, but not
to make him senseless.
II am confident that he suffered an
accident Of that character" said
George Kleinschrnidt of Sigourney,.
brother-in-law of the young man. If
it is determined that he was demented,
and firmly believe that he was de-
mented or he would not have followed
the course he did. I think he was
struck on the head in falling out of the
boat or in some other way and that the
blow was sufficient to derange him
temporarily, although it did not render
him unconscious. Possibly a limb may
have been blown or fallen from an
overhanging tree or something of the
sort may have happened
DIR. Monilaw of Drake University, an
intimate friend of White, and inter-
ested with him for years, hold to like
theory. He says he believes that some
one tapped young White on the head,
either to rob him or for some reason or
other, and that the blow was sufficient
to distort his mind for the time being,
though not sufficient to knock him out
or crush his skull. Such things are
possible and have happened. In this
demented state the young man wan
dered away. DIR. Monilaw knew White
SO well that he is absolutely certain
that the young man was not clothed in
in his right mind when he made the
journey to Defiance. And he is certain
that some external force was the cause
of the alteration.
White Will Go Home.
II do not know what Mr.. Hume's
plans are" said Charles Bradshaw, his
law partner, last evening, "but 1 pre-
sumo that he will take Virgil at once
to his home. It seems evident to all
of us that Virgil Is suffering under
temporary alteration, and although
j know but little Of the circumstances
Of his finding, other than what has
already been published, 1 believe that
Mr.. Hume will follow his own judg-
ment in regard to what should be done
with the boy, and scarcely expect that
he Will come here.
There is no reason why Virgil
should be brought to Des Moines, and
I believe that Mr.. Hume will realize
this We understand that he does not
want to come to Des Moines, and 1 do
not think he should be brought here
against his will, at least for the pres
ent.
1--WE have been trying to get into
communication with Mr. Hume all day,
but have been unable to reach him by
telephone, and further than the fact
that he has fully identified Virgil we
know nothing at all of what he has
done or intends to do"
There is every probability that Mr..
Hume has taken the young man to his
home as up to late hour last night
nothing had been heard from him, and
he had not arrived in Des Moines.
