WEATHER REPORTS NOT COOP.
Supreme Court Rules Them Out il a

Controversy.
Council Bluffs, Aug. 9.--Having been
reversed by the supreme court because
weather reports were admitted as evil
dence at the trial., the $4,000 damage
suit of the Monarch Manufacturing
Company VS.. the Omaha and Council
Bluffs Street Railway Company is to
be tried again. The city will be made
a party this times tho it was not in
the case before The action is based
on the fact that the street railway
company while digging trenches on the
street, left piles of dirt which caused
an overflow after hard rain. The
Monarch company's plant was flooded
and it was unable to operate for a
month afterward. During the trial the
plaintiff introduced official weather re-
ports of the United States to show the
amount of rainfall. The supreme court
ruled out this evidence and ordered a
new trial Of the case, holding that the
question of damages did not depend on
the quantity of water which fell, but
on the extent to which the dirt piles

The boat is lying within $50 feet OF

Articles from Merchant.

LeMars, Aug. 9.-Eighth youths,
ranging in age from Is to II years,
were lined up in police court on a
charge of carrying away a quantity Of
goods from the store of the Kehrberg
Schneider company. The boys had a
club room in the Flaugher block. In
the room was found miscellaneous
and heterogeneous collection of artic-
les, including linoleum, mating, oil
cloth, blankets, rugs, camp stools,
graniteWare, glassware, dishes, pitch
ers, shoes, rubber boots, coffee mill,
leather belts, lamps of ornamental de-
sign, pillows and sofa cushions. The
property was nearly all identified by
the Kehrberg- Schneider company as
theirs. The stealing has evidently
been going on for some time and was
discovered by tracing a quantity Of
cigars stolen from the Union hotel to
the boys club room. They were ar
rested and some of them made clean
breast of the matter. They are mem
bers of respectable families and their
arrest caused quite sensation.
They all plead guilty before Mayor
Linden, who read them a lecture and
said he would be 1enient. filming them

return the stolen articles and reim-

and emphatically told the man that
he would have to lay down 5 cents

The conductor encountered no more
trouble until he got to the rear of the
car when another bad dollar was hand

put on holder front than his comphn

be put off the car. This Imperative
statement had its effect for the fellow
handed over his nickel. AS far as il is
