AT A DOLLAR A LOAD
Contents of Wrecked Elevator in
Council Bluffs Are Disposed of at
Low Rate.

Council Bluffs, March 10.--A dollar
load is the scandalously low price
at which wheat is being sold on the
scene of Monday nights elevator fire.
in which nearly 100000 worth of
property was destroyed, and there are
no strict regulations enforced as to
how much of the grain constitutes a
load.
The announcement made yesterday
by the Trans Mississippi Grain Com
pany that the undestroyed cereal
would be sold at that price attracted
hundred or more teams to the scene
yesterday. So excited were some Of
the buyers that they backed their
teams right into the burning noun
tain Of grain, in some instances dam
aging their wagons and terrifying their
horses.
The grain company realizes that it
cannot save all of the grain that is
heaped up in the ruins, but mighty
effort is being made to save as much
of it as possible. Yesterday fifty
teams and more than 100 men were
engaged in hauling the grain to cars,
which will convey it to other eleva-
tors controlled by the company. AT
these places it will be dried and clean
ed and placed on the market again.
1t is thought that 20 per cent of the
100000 bushels of grain contained in
the elevator before the fire will be
saved. The heap of grain is still
burning as fiercely as 1t did the day
after the fire, and it is thought that the
flames will continue the work of des-
tructon for week or more longer.

of recovering from the shock is grad

Now Rejoices in Perfect Freedom
from Miseries Of indigestion.
Thousands of sufferers know that
the reason why they are irritable and
depressed and nervous and sleepless
is because their food does not digest,
but how to get rid of the difficulty is
the puzzling question. The doctor Of

get into helpful relations with the
case and Is expensive and disappoint-
Ing, while most advertised remedies
relieve Just for the moment.
Good digestion really calls for
strong digestive organs, and strength
comes from a supply of good rich
blood. For this reason Mr.. Baysson
took DR.. Williams Pink Pills for the
cure Of indigestion, and writes as fol-
lows regarding his experience:

OF great number who can testify to

obstinate disorders of the stomach.

book contains an important chapter on
the simplest means for the cure of
constipation.
Before, however. the plainest food
can be digested, the digestive organs
must be strengthened. 1t is just at
this point that DIR. Williams Pink Pills
are worth many times their trifling
cost. They contain elements that pass

Man and Woman Wanted in Famous Conspiracy Case in New York, Made no Effort to Block
 ExtraditiOn.

Cincinnatin, April 10.--When the ha- beas corpus hearing was called this af- ternoon. Attorney Cogan appeared be- fore Judge Spiegel and announced that ]. Morgan Smith and his wife were per- fectly willing to return to New York without further opposition to the ex- tradition papers if proper assurances were given that their presence there had only to do with the indictment for conspiracy and that they would not, while in New York. be called on to an- swer or appear in any other case.
 This promise was made by assistant District Attorney Garvan, and the ha- beas corpus proceeding was at once dropped and an early departure for New York will be made. In the United States Court Broker Ballman, whose contempt case and the contempt charges against Attorney Shay had at one time threatened to delay further the extradition of the Smiths. refused once more to give up his cash book or to answer the questions of the grand jury and he was therefore adjudged in contempt of court and ordered commit ted to jail.
 The case against Attorney Shay was then taken up. Lawrence Maxwell, Jr.. who took Shay's place as attorney for Ballman when Shay was himself made defendant in contempt charges an nounced that he would immediately ap- peal to the United States Circuit Court. The appeal took the form of an appli- cation for a writ of habeas corpus. which was granted by Circuit Judge Lurton, returnable Wednesday. Ball. mans bond was fixed at $5,0O0.
 After hearing testimony and argu- ments In the contempt case of Attorney Shay, Judge Thompson adjourned court until tomorrow when he will announce his decision.

 As soon as the camp is well establish- ed the extra men as well as several ranchmen and trappers who will be en- gagged will scout the country in search of bear tracks. They will carefully note all the signs and locations so that when the President starts out there will be no delay in looking for tracks. Citizens of Newcastle are planning a novel re- ception to the President next Saturday morning which will be subject to his approval.
 It is proposed that a grand parade be held in which President Roosevelt shall ride so he can be seen by the cit izens. At the head of the procession will be monster brown bear in a cage This animal was recently captured and he is now at the residence of Frank Hilliard. where he has succeeded in killing at least a dozen dogs and injur- ing several men who ventured too close to him.

 Albany, N Y, April 10.-Attorney General Mayer will not pass upon the amended charter of the Equitable Life Assurance Society until the issues have been passed upon by Justice Maddox in the action brought in the Supreme Court at Brooklyn by Franklin N. Lord as an individual stockholder.
 "The Superintendent of Insurance forwarded to me this morning." said the Attorney General. "a proposed amended charter executed by the Pres ident and Secretary of the Equitable Life Assurance Society, together with the record of the proceedings of the adoption of such amended charter as of April 6, 1905.
 "The law provides that when such amended charter is presented to the In- surance Department for filing the Su- perintendent will not grant the cer- tificate of authority until the charter has been examined by the Attorney General and certified by the Attorney General to the Superintendent that 1t will be in accordance with the require ments of the law.

 No communication of any character has been with the president by his secretary since they parted on Satur- day. large batch of official mail was received here today but 1t was of an unimportant character. None of 1t was forwarded to the president
 No concern is entertained here be- cause of the report that a wind storm passed over Oklahoma. Secretary Loeb was told that one of the presi- dents tents had been blown down. Well. I guess he has 1t up again by this time." the secretary replied. That was his way of saying that 1t takes more than little wind to rufffe the president.
 From reports received here it is not believed the storm touched Panther Springs where the party Is said to be in camp There has been no aItera- tions in the plans for the Colorado trip which will begin on Thursday The white house staff in charge of the tenn porary seat of government in this citx will arrive in Frederick. Ok, abouA 9:30 p. m., Thursday night and join the president and those of his hunting companions who are to be members of the Colorado party.
 Citizens of Trinidad, Colo. are pre- pairing to give the president a reception if he can be inductd to stop en route to Colorado Springs, and the American Stock Growers Association which meets fin Denver May g. is planning to hava him there.
 It is probable that both Trinidad and Denver will be disappointed. The spe- cial will be attached to the Colorado Midland at Colorado Springs and It ls said that any stops on the Fort Worth and Denver Railway will ondanger the connection. It is certain that the pres ident,s hunt in Colorado will not be over in time for an acceptance Of the Denver invitation. It is true. however, that some stops will be made on thG return trip to washington late in May but no program has been arragned de- finitely
 Secretary Loeb and other membera of the party located here have had little to do. Fort Worth citizens have been most hospitabfe in arranging en- tertainment. A barbecue will be given tomorrow.
