ing in court yesterday and Judge Platt
held the petition insufficient. After
jangling all afternoon trying to agree
as to certain undisputed facts, the
counsel for the opposing sides got to-

Judge on an agreed statement of facts,
except as to withdrawals. The board
Of supervisors had ignored all with
drawals and counsel for the saloon men
urged the court to take the same view
of the matter, but the judge after in
specting the Withdrawals, promptly
held them sufficient The petition or

more than the required So per cent
and the withdrawals contained 23o o.
the names on such petition. Besides
these withdrawals there were many
names improperly on the petition. The
record was made UP for an appeal
which the. saloon men intend to take,
SO that the supreme court will be given
an opportunity to again pass upon the
question of Withdrawals from mulct

Special to Times
Council Bluffs, May 23-Aided by
the telephone and the ability to change
the tone of his voice, Morris Marcus
has been enjoying the spring days by
riding about the country in livery rigs
that are charged to other parties. His
plan is to call up the livery barn over
the telephone, order team sent to
some prominent party, and specify
where it shall be hitched until he Us
ready for it. After using the team rs
much as he desires, he again calls UP
the barn and orders them to get the
team, from the place he has tied it.
About a month ago he was caught at
this trick and his father had to pay
big prices for the teams he had used.
Yesterday. he took another ride by his
method and as he brought back the
team was arrested by the police. His
father says he will have to get out the
best way possible this time He will
not assist him.

The most common cause of nerve

general lowering of mental tone is due

habits, lack of sleep, excitement, grief,
and other emotional sensations
1t is easier to wear out brain tissue

persone is encroaching upon nerve
energy is shown by worry, desponden-

becomes distrustful of himself and
