OF DULUTH PAINTERS
Chartered By The International
Brotherhood Of Painters, Dec
orators and Paperhangers.

At largely attended meeting Of this
local held on Tuesday evening, the
membership took occasion to put them
selves emphatically on record against
Judge Wright's action in sentencing to
Jail of President Gompers, Vice Pres7
ident Mitchell and Secretary Morrison,
of the American Federation of Labor
The consensus of opinion was that
the action of the court, ana certain
references of the presiding judge, COM
ing at this Christmas season, are quite
in keeping with a, scene that occurred
at the beginning of the Christian era,
affecting him whose birth is comment
GRATED in Christmas Day
Judges and courts" said one of the
speakers, "are to- be held In great
respect, and so we do hold them, but
one familiar, in any degree, with the
history of judicial proceedings cannot
in reason or conscience be expected to
regard any court, not even the supreme
court, with superstitious reverence.
able, honest judges don't ask for
such barbarous adulation. They don't
need it; for the uprightness of their
character and rectitude Of their con-
duct, guarantee without solicitation the
respect and confidence of the American
people.
1T is only certain judges That are
working overtime in usurping powers
that neither our constitution nor our
laws confer upon them, that are forever
| in hot water over their dignity, and
chasing law abiding citizens with con-
tempt proceedings -.
| The utmost unanimity of sentiment
prevailed upon the subject and reso-
! buttons condemning tne decision were
adopted by unanimous vote. -: - -
| It being the night for the election
and installation of officers, that bust
ness was proceeded with, and the con-
test over some of the officers was in
teresting enough. The constitution of
the, local prohibits the methods Of the
politician for securing votes, ana as
the brothers finally. elected were the
unanimous choice Of all the members,
the fact speaks we'll for the peace and

We are afraid to say a, word about

to lick u.s. if we did, and any one
of them could do it. The safety Of

things about them all, for every one

tariff uncertainty will give an impetus to
general business. Retail trade, though bet
ter than a year ago, has been, on the
whole, disappointing, the cause assigned
for this being weather conditions and the
high prices asked Tor goods when COM
pared with the reduced purchasing power
of the general public.
Domestic wool has been strong and ac-
tive this week, western markets being ex-
cited and higher grades being advanced
/ cent. Sole leather has been active and
is l to . cents higher, while some grades
OF upper leather are 3 cents higher than
they were some time ago. Shoe manufac-
turers lave been forced to charge higher
prices for their product, and this tends 10
retard buying, which is little freer, but
not Up to expectations, either here or at
western manufacturing centers.

for the week are 219 against 2i last week,

Council Bluffs
COUNCIL HAS CIRCUS BUG
BUG

Meetings for Prosaic Business Must
wait on Peanut Party.
The members Of the city council are
Just as keen about going to the circus as
the average small boy or girl. At the last
regular meeting the council adjourned to
next Monday evening, but when at the
special session yesterday afternoon City
Clerk Cassidy called attention TO the fact
that a circus would be in town next Mon
day and another on Tuesday, the council
men promptly rescinded the former action
OF adJourning to next Monday and will
now meet next Wednesday evening instead.
The meeting yesterday afternoon was
primarily for taking some action in the
matter Of the Pettibone ditch, Judge
Wheeler having dissolved the injunction
secured by Angel Alta, restraining the city
from proceeding with the opening Of the
ditch. The ditch has twice been opened by
the city. but Directing property owners
through whose holdings 1t crosses have
filled It up. A special committee consisting
of Councilmen Olson, Morgan and
skodsholm, the city solicitor and the city
engineer was appointed with power to act.
The sense of the council was that the
ditch should be opened as far as the Alta
RAbbNAAN anu AiA1A NAANoAN III AiNp
with Ait as to whether the ditch should
be opened through his lots or a detour
around them made.
Alta is not satisfied with Judge wheeler's
ruling and yesterday filed notice of APP
peal to the supreme court.
City Treasurer True appeared before the
council and suggested that the method OF
assessment for cost of sidewalks to the
a~butting property as proposed under the
sidewalk ordinance passed at the last ses-
sion of the council be changed. M
ordinance provides for the distribution of
the cost in seven assessments, whereas,
heretofore there has been but one assess
ment for the entire cost OF their improve
ment. The change, Mr.. True explained
would necessitate an immense amount OF
bookkeeping as well as additional expense
He thought the old procedure was entirely
satisfactory to the property owners and
after some discussion the council decided
to amend the ordinance in conformity with
Mr.. True's suggestion.
In accordance with the recommendation
of the finance committee Chief Nicholson
of the fire department will be permitted
to employ one extra man to take the place
of the regular men during their respective
vacations. The same committee also
recommended that the request of the West
Council Bluffs Improvement clubs for a
p%atrolman at night in hat section of the
city be compiled with Chief Richmond
was accordingly authorized to furnish such
officer. Complaints regarding candy and
other slot machines at street corners MOI
always delivering the goods we're referred
to the chief of police to investigate. The
matter was brought by Councilman

DUN'S REVIEW Of TRADE
All Developments Except Lengthen-
ing of Tariff Debate Favorable.
GAINS IN SPITE OF DISTURBANCE
Crop Conditions Are Excellent, Yet
Farm Continue to Adj
unconstitutional Earn
ings Increase.

NEW YORK, May 2.-R. G. Dun and
company's weekly review of trade tomor-
row will say
Almost every development, except the
lengthening debate on the tariff, Is favor
able and the gains made In spite of the
what may be expected when that is out of
the way. The domestic agricultural con-
ditions are excellent and yet the prices
OF farm products continue to advance. The
area of improvement in iron and steel Is
rapidly widening and a notable event of
tbs week Is the restoration of wages by
the Independent producers. The reports of
the railroads are of steadily increasing
business and the latest earnings show "A
gain of li9 per cent over last year, the
decrease as compared with 1871 being us
per cent.
The primary cotton goods market still
continues TO be dominated by the high level
OF prices for the raw material. Although
slight irregularities have occurred here
and there, the market as a whole Is steady.
with manufacturers reluctant TO enter into
contracts for any extended delivery. Inc
buying has been restricted, China having
Withdrawn entirely from the market for
the present. About 2,O00 bales OF standard
drills have been sold to India and con-
siderable more business has been done in
prints for Manila and South America. The
print cloth market is still firm, with sales
moderate. In wooden goods duplicate busl-
ness on heavy weights has peen fairly
satisfactory and a further Improvement IL
anticipated, as clothiers now know the
general trend of demand. The principal
feature is the higher level of prices. In
the dress goods division a scarcity in the
fall season Is anticipated. The general
level of yarn prices is higher.
The slight Improvement In shoe condi-
tions still continues and business shows an
increase i'm nearly all lines, and large New
England manufacturers expect that the
footwear market will soon be restored TO
its normal position. Prices have advanced.
The Chicago packer hide market has ruleo
considerably less active since the liberal
buying of last week, and country hides are
steady. The advice I'm prices has been
checked for both packer and country
tanner Foreign dry hides have advanced
