Theodore Shonts, of the
l.,thmian ] Commission, seems to
llave resigned his position un-
der cloud. The building of
The Panama Canal surely stirs
up trouble for the nation try
ing to complete that great feat,
and we trust the United States
may be able to finish the work
without the cry of "steal" be-
ing heard. The undertaking is
such a large one that it requires
diplomacy to handle the differ
.-nt phases of the work without
someone believing that great
stealing is being done and that
:ome prominent man is making
too much out of it.

The Cass Co. Democrat SAYS:

The Cass Co. Democrat says:
"The last week in congress
has been marked by the pass
age by the house of two bills
which should forever politically
damn every member who voted
for them.
"The ship subsidy steal was
put through the committee Of
house having it in charge UNI
der the whip and spur applied
by the representative of the
Hill and Hartman railroad and
steamship interests.
"To the credit of the demo-
Gratis on that committee and to
a number of the republicans,
including Judge Birdsall, of this
state, be it said that they re-
fused to sanction a favorable
report upon the bill, but they
were in the minority and the
bill was reported favorable for
passage, under the guidance of
Littaure, of New York, who is
known as the agent of the spe-
clal interests to which it gives
about 81, ,250,000 of the peoples
money without any compensa-
ting advantage.
"Under the guise of fostering
and building up the ocean car
rying trade of this country this
steal was favorably reported,
when, as a matter IF fact, it
will not build a single American
ship, nor carry the mails the
bill subsidies.
Raymond, the Washington
correspondent of the Chicago
Tribune, says that it is a
steal, that it was put through
by corrupt means, and that Hill
and Herman, the railroad
magnates N-hom the admins
ton is prets nding to prosecute
for various l.aes and misde-
meanors, will be the beneficial
ries of the loot.
"The other and none the less
reprehensible measure passed
bv the house is the SALRAY
GRAB, a bill which adds $1,000
a year to the salaries cf the
congressman and senators. This
bill, also, was piloted through
the-sewers of the house by Lit

A Large Dam

A dispatch from Helena,
Montana, says: "The gates
will be closed in the Hauser
lake dam today. 1t will be
three weeks before the pow
er is turned on, as it will take
this time for the lake to fill.
The water will back up eight
cen miles in the river and
through the Prickley Pear can
yon, six miles in the valley be-
low Helena. The dam is $40
feet long and 20 feet wide and
is made of steel throughout.
The dam is the largest of its
kind in the world.
Fifteen thousand-h horse power
will be generated, and this,
with the canyon ferry plant,
will make Helena the largest

The Thaw case in New York
j attracting as much attention
as a big prize fight, and the
)'aople trying to get into the
court house to witness the trial,
early sweep the police from
inc streets. You have seen
rowds at a circus trying to
] uy tickets all at the same
time; we'll from the descrip-
1;ons given in the papers, that
must be the case in New York.
Che public is not admitted at
the trial and reporters have a
hard time getting in. There
would seem no reason to bar
amy one when the case is one
"f murder and the criminal a
mere man even though he has
:! fortune back of him. Re-
member the case in Omaha re-
GENTLY when a negro held up
the Her Grand hotel-he got
tourteen years in the peniten-
1Iary-Thaw perhaps will not
even be taken to the peniten-
,iary at all, if money can buy

Guy Glenn, an engineer on
the Nebraska and Wyoming di-.
vision of the Northwestern.
was lucky enough to get part
of the $4,000 appropriated by
the government to be used in
paying the soldiers of the 3rd
Nebraska regiment. The men
who belonged to the above reg
iment received no pay for the
time put in waiting to be mus
tered into the service of the
United States and as Mr.. Glenn
waited for several month, he
received a check for $1,000 the
other day.

District Meeting Of Bar Called

President w. A. MINISTER of
the Pottawattamie County Bar
association yesterday issued a
call for a meeting of the men,
bers of the bar of the Fif-
teenth judicial district to be
held at Council Bluffs, Thurs
day afternoon, January 81, to
discuss the proposed bill before
the state legislature providing
for the drawing of juries by a
commission. The bill in its
present form is limited to coun-
ties having a population of
$4,000, and consequently would
affect six counties in the state.
At the meeting called by Presi-
dent MINISTER the advisability
of urging that the bill be
amended so as to make it apply
to all countiesin the state with
out regard to population will
be considered.
In the call members of the bar
who will be unable to attend
the meeting are requested to
express their views in writing
and send same to Mr.. MINISTER.
The counties comprising the
Fifteenth judicial district are:
Audubon, Cass, Fremont, Har-
risen, Mills, Montgomery, Page,
Pottawattamie and Shelby.
An effort to secure the attend
ance of the four judges of the
district at this meeting will be
made.

At Des Moines the legislators
are taking up matters pertain
ing to banking in this state,
more particularly that of the
slvings banks. An effort is be-
j lg made to convince the law
,akers that unless some relief
j, given the savings banks of
I he state, which are more nu-
,nerous than any other class Of
Tanks, will go to the wall. The
.,ecision of Judge Evans in the
. use of the Corning Savings
! INK to the effect that a saw
j lgs bank cannot borrow money
j.; considered a serious handi-
cap to the savings banks, as it
would limit them strictly to re-
ceiving deposits and putting
the money out at interest and
prevent them from doing a gen.
eral banking business.

| was wondering what you
were all doing Christmas. It
rained here Christmas Eve, so
the people went to the Christ
mas tree with their rain coats
and umbrellas and wiped the
mud off their feet on the green
grass. Robin was sick with the
measles and several of his
little friends called with tokens
of Christmas cheer, one a large
bcuqnet of Gala lilies, roses and
carnations gathered from the
yard. A very small turkey
cost $3.50, but the people here
care no more for a dollar than
they do a dime back home so
when a holiday comes all goes
merry.

conscious that it was a dirty
piece of legislation that it was
arranged in advance that there

it would be impossible for the

Officers of the army are try
ing to get the canteen restored
so that their men may have
certain beverages without hav-
ing to go to the low saloons
usually found near an army
post. The canteen was abol-
ished several years ago by con-
,-ress and ever since the Off
cials have been urging its res
toration. There is no one so
we'll posted on the needs of the
soldiers as their officers and it
would certainly be a wise thin9
to have congress restore the
canteens and thus cut down the
likliho d of desertions, as this
j;one thing charged up against
this act.

Reports from the west state
that the stock business has suf-
fered more this winter than for
twenty years and a great num-
ber of cattle and sheep have
died on the ranches. The short
age of cars also handicapped
the stock-growers the past
summer. They could not ship
their stock to market and in
consequence have too many for
their grazing land.

The members of the state
legislature are debating
whether they will pass a billap-
propriatiating $65, 900 toward a
governors mansion. However,
it would seem that Iowa is
wealthy enough to build and
maintain a home for its chief
executive and that the bill
should be passed without very
much effort. The hog pavilion
at the state fair grounds can be
looked after at some future
date.

benefit to the people of the
state, and to the members
themselves, we believe.

Court Notes


w. A. Phillips had brought
suit against Fred Brown to re-
cover damages because of the
sale of some drug fixtures that
had been in the old Mckay
building at Mo. Valley, and
where Phillips had for a time
a drug store. 1t was claimed
that when Brown sold the
building he had sold the fix
lures which were claimed by
Phillips. After some testi-
mony was taken the case was
dismissed, the costs being
placed against the plaintiff.
The Warner VS. Interstate
Exchange ct al was continued.
The action was one concerning
some mortgages.
In the action brought by H.
j. Farlow regarding the assess
ment of benefits on the lands
in the Harrison Pottawattamie
drainage district No. 1, settle
ment was reached on a 10 per
cent basis, the costs Of the pro-
ceedings to be taxed against
the district.
The Warner case which was
set for Monday being contin-
ued the court heard the argu-
ments in the Medill- Roberts ac-
tion and decide during vaca-
tion. The Lentz-Berry case
will also be decided by Judge
Wheeler during vacation.
A jury was empanneled Mon-
day afternoon for the Charles
REVERE case which was begun
Tuesday forenoon. REVERE is
charged with stealing some
brass from the C. & N. w.
shops at Mo. Valley and he
with a partner with taking it
to Council Bluffs where he was
arrested. 1t was stated that
he with another one who has
not been taken, hid the brass
in a weed patch not far from
the c.. & N. w. shops in the
Bluffs where it was found af-
ter REVERE had been taken by
the Council Bluffs police. Con-
siderable testimony was taken
by both parties in the action.
This is the first case to be tried
by County Attorney Smith
since he assumed the office of
prosecuting attorney.
The jury returned a verdict
of guilty last evening in the
case of Charles REVERE, find
ing larceny and placing the
value of the brass said to have
been stolen by him at $3.50.
He will be sentenced later.
The case of Riley VS. Kellogg
was commenced yesterday af-
ternoon. In this action the
plaintiff charges Attorney Kel-
logg with not obtaining her a
clear title to certain property
and for overcharging her for
work done.

The report of the Interstate
Commerce Commission with re-
gard to the findings in the case
of the Standard Oil Company,
has been made public. They
charge the oil trust with killing
competition, running the rail
roads and newspapers to the
detriment of independent oil
companies. The commission
certainly flayed the Rockefeller
concern without mercy and if
their recommendations are
acted upon, some startling facts
are likely to be divulged.
While other trusts in this coun-
try are bad enough, the oil
trust has acted without mercy
in knitting competitors and des-
troying any and all who might
wish to oppose them. Even
railroad employees are said to
have been in the pay of the
trust to report the destination
of cars shipped by the inde-
pendent concerns. If congress
needs some material to work
on, they have been furnished
enough by the commission to
start on, at least.

We sincerely trust that
legislature of this state, and
also the national congress at
Washington will pass a law
making it a punishable offense
to give or take a tip. The pres
ent day and age it is almost inn
possible to get service on trains
or at hotels and restaurants in
the cities without tipping the
porters and walters. To think
of the railroad company having
in its employ men who are paid
miserly salaries to attend to
the wants of the patrons, and
men who expect a tip every
time they turn around. If you
do not pay, you do not get any
accommodations and yet the
companies do not cut down
railroad fare in the least. 1t
gets mighty tiresome to have
to drag out your pocketbook
before you can get your clothes
brushed or a window lowered.
1t should be made as serious an
offense to give a tip, and some
of the would-be sports would
not then make a display of their
money in a crowd and thus Gre
ate a feeling of dissatisfaction
among the other employees.

First u. s. Treasurer.

Each of the new $40 treasury notes
has a portrait of Michael Hillegas
upon it, labeled First Treasurer OF
the United States" This recogni-
ton of a man whose personal worth
and service to his country have been
too long obscured," says a writer,
must be credited to a descendant,
the Rev. Michael Lee Minich, a Luz
theran pastor, and to Secretaries John
Hay and Leslie M. Shaw, who, from
the archives of the state and treasury
departments, got proof OF Hillegas'
prior claims to a post hitherto credit
ed either to Robert Morris or Samuel
Meredith. Hillegas was a pre-revo-
lutionary Philadelphia sugar refiner,
manufacturer of iron and merchant,
whose credit was at George Wash
Ington's command whenever the great
military leader needed funds. He
fostered historical research and was a
musician of note.
