Art is long and life is fleeing, so the
city engineer has decided to expedite the
work with the use of stencils instead Of
more laborious but artisticafly formed let
tering by sign painting. Then the poles will
be painted by the new wire combine some
day, maybe, and all the art would be
wasted anyway.
Here and there adown the city's thor
oughfares one can see tall iron posts rust
ing into ruins, the monuments to a de-
cayed bit Of civic enterprise, but the enam-
elled signs are no longer legible and no
one believes them anyway.
Someone suggested signs inlaid on the
sidewalks, but expense and the snowdrifts
formed the basis OF an argument that put
this idea to the bad.
The council has made an appropriation
OF 500 for the new markings along the
streets, but will not be near enough to cover
the expense in the opinion of the engineer.

Two Men ~OverPOwer BOY in Charge
of store and Carry of $500
Worth of JeweIry.

After being informed that the proprietor.
David Gross of the pawnshop at 5Ol North
Sixteenth street was not present, two men
held up Max Frumkin. who was in charge,
aud robbed the place OF ten diamond rings.
100 assorted gold rings and two diamond
pendants at S:25 o'clock Thursday night.
The two mel entered the store and asked
for Mr., Gross. MAJ Frumkin, a l5-year-old
boy, who was in charge, informed them
that Mr.. Gross was out. The largest of the
pair caught the boy by the throat and
threw him TO the floor and held him while
his pardner grabbed a tray containing the
rings and pendants.
After getting the loot the two men ran
out Of the store. Frumkin was terribly
frightened and was unable to Civ a good
description Of the men. although the police
believe they know the robbers.
Mr.. Gross returned Immediately after the
robbery was committed. He notified tho
police as soon as he learned OF the affair.
Mr.. Gross was unable to tell what his loss
amounted TO last night, but 1t is estimated
TO be about $500.

contractor is ready to fight, and in the
meantime how is the accommodating garbage
to be handled? 1t seems certain that the
present contractor will not allow anyone
else to get a contract unless the city re-
leases him first. and he can probably make
his position good in court.
He claims to nave a large investment in
a plant, made in good faith, on the suppo-
sition that he was to be protected in his
contract right by the city. Evidently, then,
some temporary arrangement will have to
be made with the present contractor or

DOCTORS SUED FOR DAMAGE
A. p. Condor of Omaha and f. W.
HOughtOn of Council Bluffs Are
Asked for $4,000.

DR.. A. p. Condor of Omaha and DIR. F.
w. Houghtun of this city are defendants
in a 800, 900 damage silt In which Charles
r, Chase Of Council Bluffs is plaintiff and
which is now on trial in the district court
at Avoca. A big array of legal talent Is
engaged in the case. Chase being repre-
sentsd by The firm of Turner g. Cullison,
while the defendants are represented by
M. j. Wade OF Iowa City, ex-senator Allen
of Nebraska, l.. T.. Genung of Glenwood
and George Is. Clark of Oakland. The
trial is expected to last we'll into next
week, as a large amount of expert testi-
mony will be taken.
Chase's suit grows out of an operation
for appendicitis performed by DR. Condor,
assisted by DR.. Houghton. Chase alleged
in his petition. which was filed in the
district court at Council Bluffs in October.
1905, four months after the operation at
the tEdmundsen Memorial hospital, fhat in
closing the wound after the operation a
piece Of sponge or gauZe was left in his
body. he subsequently, underwent another
operation for the removal OF the ~extraneous
n after.
The defendant physicians in their answer
claimed that the operation on Chase was
performed skillfully and commended that
the neglect, II any, was on the part of the
nurse attending the case, whose duty 1t
was, they claimed, to attend to the removal
of the sponge or gauze from the wound.
On the ground that such professional
prejudice existed against them in Council
Bluffs as TO make a fair and impartial
trial out of the question, the defendant
physicians obtained a change of venue to
the district court at Avoca.

Mr., Keeton was not so passionately en-

The Financier will say:
The statement of the associated banks
last week showed a loss Of 600 In
actual reserve: such loss appeared to
have been due to conditions which grad
ually developed during the week, for the
statement of averages indicated a gain
Of a little more than $4,000 In re-
serve, The actual cash loss was $500. :
500 while the average increase In this
item was $672. 800. The actual loss can
probably be accounted for by withdraw
ais of funds by interior banks in large
western cities, also by further drain
by the treasury incident-as has recently
been the case-to continuing deficits and
redemptions of bank notes. 1t may be
noted that the preliminary estimates Of
currency movements during the week
showed a loss to the interior Of $1.75O.-
COO Such loss by the banks to the treas
ury was upward of 100000.
The analysis of the statement OF actual
conditions shows a decrease OF 1910, 400
to $3.50, 700; computed upon the basis
of deposits less those Of $1,675, 600 public
funds. the surplus Is 81. 295, 900.

Armour b Co.'s Methods.

Later on 1t was discovered that Armour

divisions, to each of which 1t sold its
packing-house products at as near cost as
could be figured, leaving the head Of each
to run that particular part Of the bust
ness and make the best showing he could
at the end Of the year-and, believe 1t.
there was red-hot rivalry as to who could
lead In the race. In the aggregate the
profits Of the bristle department, the hoofs
and horns department, the lard, the bacon
and the ham departments, the fertilizer
department., and so on down the line, ran
into the millions. but how was an unso-
phisticated congressional committee to
know the intricacies of bookkeeping or
down-to-date methods for the ascertain
ment Of profits in each Of the several
branches Of a great establishment?
How. also, Is the public to know that by
selling their own products to each other
the subsidiary companies Of the United
States Steel Corporation swell the total
business of the parent concern away out
Of shape-and all to the end that the per-
centage Of profits on gross volume Of busi-
ness may appear smaller than 1t really IL.

Of the country were making as much net
money as now. Every report that comes
into Wall street goes to show such to be
the case. Indeed, SO rose-tinted are most
OF the fiscal statements that long-headed
bankers behind the guns are fearful OF
agitation for a reduction In charges
either that or a larger participation by
labor in the fruits of the business. Rail
road reports framed for Wall street con.

Iron and Steel Demand.
The iron and steel mills now in opera
ton have a capacity OF about $1,000 OO(
tons year. They are running close
TO 100000 tons a week. The year 1901
was that of greatest actual production
the output being a little over $4,000. O0(
we are running about 100 per cent of thu
capacity of 1907. 1t is also worthy o.
note that the country is In the beginning
of the hystercal stage of the seventh
great boom in the iron and steel industry
since the war of the rebellion. Each o.
these booms ran about three years. TIL,
