BELLE PLAINB-It Is claimed on good
authority hat the large freight engines
recently put into service by the Northwest
ern On its Iowa and Galena divisions have
proved a failure, and are responsible for
the continued and unusually persistent de-
lays which have crippled the service of that
road for the last four or five weeks. 1t is
said that the engines have developed a
weakness for burning out. Twenty-Five
OF the immense locomotives were put into
service on these two divisions recently, but
most of them are now In the shops under
going repairs. Instead Of relieving the
traffic situation, as It was supposed they
would do, they have only tended to further

Board of Supervisors VIII Make Hin

Board of Supervisors VIII Make Him
List the MuIct Tax.
Paul Aylesworth, a member of the local
bar, submitted a proposition to the Board
of Supervisors to place on the tax books
the mulct tax against places in which beer
or other liquor is kept in storage. The su-
preme court has decided that such storage
places are subject to the tax, but up to
the present no effort has been made to
assess or collect it In Council Bluffs. The
board was at first inclined to agree to Mr..
Aylesworth's proposition, but after con-
sidering the matter further decided yester-
day that it was the duty of the city assessor
to list the assessment and then for the
county attorney to take the necessary steps
10 collect 1t, provided the parties so assessed
failed to pay the tax. Mr.. Aylesworth's
proposition will, accordingly. 1t was said
yesterday, be rejected at the meeting Of the
board today.
January 20 was set as the date for award
ing the contracts for publishing the pro-
ceedings of the board in the newspapers of
the county as provided by law. The Coun-
ell Bluffs Nonparell, the Council Bluffs
Weekly Times, the Nicola Gazette-R Reporter,
the Oakland Acorn and the Avoca Journal
Herald are all in the field for the contract.
The lAw requires that the proceedings be
published in the three papers having the
largest circulation in the county.
When a bill of $1S6.55 for furnishing meals
to the jury in the damage suit Of Charles
Chase against DR.. Condor of Omaha and
DR. Houghton of this city, recently tried
at Avoca, was presented the board decided
that IS cents was an excessive amount to
charge for a meal and cut the bill down to
2 cents a meal. The bill of SS9 for "beds''
for the jury was allowed.

Kansas Man Wants Fight.
On the other hand, inquiries among other

When Mr.. Madison was informed that
the fight apparently had started he said

Congressman Hayes of California, who
presided over the only meeting of the
house insurgents held this year, declared
that he was 'in the fight to stay. If no
one will call a meeting of the insurgents
to mark out the plan of battle, 1 will do
It," he said, "and If there are others who
are backwards in this battle, 1 will go it
alone. 1 am an insurgent until it is over"
Cannon Quotes in Speech.
Speaker Cannon tonight remarked tina
If he were to express his W views on the
situation they would sound "~chestnutty.' -
He denied knowledge of any specific de-
termination to crush. the insurgents. Blu
he turned to a copy of a speech which he
delivered in Kansas City on December Z
last and quoted from 1t the following
paragraphs as expressive of his opinion
of the course that ought to be pursued
against the insurgents. The paragraph
read:
when Lincoln found an army marching
on the national capital from the south and
a body of sympathizers In the north en-
~couraging that army, he said 1t was d1f-
ficult TO determine which was the most
threatening to the welfare of the nation.

The fire started in Miller's hardwar store,
and being tanned by a high wind, spread
rapidly. Ten minutes after the fire started
two buildings were in ashes and the entire
block threatened. A message came to this
city asking for aid and thirty men with
fire apparatus responded on a special train.
At one time 1t was feared the entire bust
ness district would be destroyed. When
four buildings were gone an attempt was
MADE to check the flames by dynamiting
TWO stores, but the wind carried the flames
IN and they continued to spread.
At a late hour tonight the fire burned

NO QUARTER FOR INSURGENTS
Administration Declares War Upon
Opposition Republicans.
BATTLE BREAKS OUT SUDDENLY
Recent Acts of Cummins, La Toilette
and BrIstOw Start Fight-Must
Line UP for Against Pres
ident's Policies.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 5.-War without
quarter will be waged between the Taft
administration and such republican 'in-
surgents' in congress as are now opposing,
and who oppose in the future, the Taft
legislative program. The battle is not with
these tariff insurgents who quietly
sheathed their blades after defeat, but with
those who have nursed disappointment and
are whetting their knives publicly in
anticipation of continued conflict.
The battle broke SUDDENLY yesterday. At
first it was a single shot,: then a
scattered firing; swiftly the thing spread
until tonight 1t has taken on the
aspect OF a general engagement,
the consequences of which cannot
be foretold. The substances of 1t is that
the senators and congressman who have
taken a stand against the present adj
ministration and who continue to align
themselves with the opposition to the presi-
dents policies are to receive no con-
sideration in matters Of patronage.
What stirred the President.
Utterances such as that made by Sem
ator Cummins at a recent dinner in Des
Moines, by Senator Bristow in previous
speeches, and anti-Taft articles in Senator
La Follette's magazine and a recent inter-
view by Senator Clapp on the price OF
food stuffs are said to have stirred the
president to action. 1t had been reported
further that some of the republican in
surgen+s in the house have tried to secure
appointment under the administration OF
men more or less openly out of harmony
with the Taft regime. Mr.. Taft's closest
friends advised him that It would be i'm.
polite for him to afford sinews Of wal
to those who they warned him might ever
cooperate with the democrats in congress
against the Taft legislative program and
in the country at large by creating anti.
Taft sentiment in advance of the 1912 con,
vention.
1t is stated without reserve tonight tina
the president has listened to such advice
and has decided to follow II.

OUT DEPOT

Shortly after 9 o'clock this morning
the freight depot of the Tonopah and
Tidcwater railroad situated on North
Fifth avenue was forced from its sup
ports and sent into the street because
of its inability to stand up against the
attack of an engine which, notwith-
standing the efforts of the engineer,
&. J. wager, insisted upon butting into
the building. While no great damage
was done the freight Office force con-
sisting of j. F. Lott, Guy Pinnell and
J. Thomas had quite a narrow escape
from serious injury when the big en-
CINE essayed to enter the building.
The engine at the time Of the acci-
dent was being taken to a point on a
switch over the ash pit, but for some
reason a stop conld not be made and
the iron steed sped on a few feet to
the track end and into the building. To
prevent a repetition of the occurrence
a bulkhead will he built at the end IF
the switch.

"'The mine has three feet of ore in

a general average of $14.57 per ton.
