Attorneys for the city when branch
rourt convened this afternoon started
heir closing arguments On the petition
sseging leave Of the court to file a quo
xarranto asking the city TO show by
what right it is exercising jurisdic-
tIon over the territory recently an
pexed to this city.
Indications were that the Judge
would decide the matter this after
noon since the closing arguments were
scheduled to come to a close at that
tine. The case was started yesterday
afternoon when S. R. Kenworthy Of
1T. & S. r. Kenworthy, one Of the
firm representing the city and the vii
Iage, commenced the attack on the
gufhcie1cy OF the petition.
Dudley Marshall, of SearIe & Mar
shall, representing the complainants.
argued this morning on two points. He
claimed that the curative bill passed
by the legislature and which went in
10 effect yesterday did not clear the
annexation proceedings of any al
alleged defects, because the petition in
which the 1900 acres Of land were
originally added to Sears was void. He
contended that 1T did not have the
sufficient number of signatures and
that the action Of the legislature could
not, therefore. cure the union ordi-
nance proceedings between Rock Is
land TO Sears since Sears did not have
legal jurisdiction over all the terri
tory in question.
MI keuworthy yesterday afternoon.
in his statements had declared this
was moi one OF the issues, since Sears
had not been made a party TO the suit.
Air. Marshall's other claim was that
ian on which the union ordinance was
drawn was not ia effect at the time of
the election, because Of an annexation
dill which had been passed after it be
came law years ago He claimed that
the later measure repealed the former.
Attorneys for the city. however. this
afternoon cited supreme court deci-
sions which they claimed showed that
the union law was still in effect and

Attorneys In Controversy.


Attorneys In Controversy.
The greater portion Of yesterday af-
ternoon in branch court was given
over to the reading Of the petition ask
ing leave TO file the quo warranto
against the city.
When branch court convened, d con-
troversy arose between the attorneys
as TO whether the petition, asking
-eave to file the quo warranto, or the
Issues in the quo waTranto themselves
were 70 be argued. c. E. Marshall, Of
the firm Of Searle & Marshall, who
represents Mary Dougherty. ct al. the
compliments. insisted that the agree
ment was made when Mfr Thomp son
signed the petition and the mandamus
against him was dismissed, that the
main issues were to be brought UP.
William McEniry for the city took
issue with Mr.. Marshall on this point
and asserted that the petition asking
leave to file the quo warranto, was
that upon which agreement to argue
had been made.
City Gains Point
Attorneys for the city contended that
taking up the main issues Of the quo
warranto first, chances for the whole
case TO be tied up for years would he
increased They claimed that argu-
ment on whether or not sufficient cause
was shown in the petition to warrant
the filing Of a quo warranto, IS the is
sue first to be determined. and they
contended that they had reason TO be
lieve that there was not sufficient
reason given.
They stated that is was purely a
question of law and that the Judge was
as qualified now as at any time to
dispose Of the matter Judge Ramsay
sustained the attorneys for the city
in the matter The court may at the
end Of the present argument hold that
the causes for the compliments seek
ing to file d quo warranto are INSULT
cieut.
Sears Should be Party,
This will end the case in the low
er courts, or should he hold that the
causes named were sufficient then the
quo warranto will be taken to an is
sue.
Nh NcEntry read the petition. It is
lengthy and required a long time to
complete, but S. r. Kenworthy for the
city had an opportunity to make some
arguments before court adjourned
He stated that the objections in the
petition we're all based on informa- /
ton and belief and set up no facts on
which perjury could be assigned and .
claimed # 10 be faulty He also de .
clared that Sears must be made a f
party to this suit for the reason that /
the compliments are attacking the ,
annexation of this territory prior 10 /
the time it was annexed by Rock Is
land.

tilation without causing any drafts,
which are very dangerous to poultry
Very little headroom is needed by
chickens, so the back of this house Is
only made feet 10 inches high,
while the front is feet 10 inches. A
small place such as this can be kept
warm by the poultry.
Poultry houses are often neglected
in regard to appearances. There is
nc particular reason for this except
that the building is small and people
think that 1t will not make any differ
ence. The necessary paint to make
a nice-looking chicken house can be
had for very little money and it can
be applied easily in a short time
The walls are generally made of
drop siding and the inner walls can
be made in several ways. One of the
best is with wall board. Wall board
is a nonconductor of heat and cold
and is also alright and vermin proof.
It makes a smooth. tight wall that can
be readily painted with whitewash or
crude oil and there are no hooks and
corners to harbor the vermin that al
ways get into the chicken house more
or less. The walls can also be COW
cred with matched ceiling which will
give smooth surface that can be
easily painted.
The roof can be made of sheathing.
which is covered with prepared roof
ing The inside wall is made of wall
board or of matched ceiling the same
as the walls
The roosts are placed in the back
part of the house under the roof and
are fastened to the droppings board
that is placed underneath them. The
nests are fastened underneath the
droppings board and all the furniture
can thus be moved out together when
the chicken house is to be cleaned.
The darkness that the hens require
for laying is furnished by placing the
nests under the droppings board. The
scratching floor is at the front of the
house, so that it will get plenty of
sunshine
One end of this poultry house is
given over to feed room, where the
future meals of the chickens can be
kept This is handy arrangement
and the feed does not have to be car
ried from some other building to the
chicken house. 1t will be wise pre-
caution to place spring on the door
between the feed room and the rest of
danger of the door being left open SO
that the chickens can get into the
feed and eat too much.

Tom Stibbs was just setting the last
of a sixteen-sheet poster in place on
Sign q of the Universal Advertising
Syndicate, when the ladder under him
shook. He looked down quickly.
Hello. there!" he shouted. What
ever are you about?"
A man had come rushing around
the corner at a high rate of speed.
As he turned it he glanced backward.
This caused a stumble. His hat fell
off. The next moment he was up the
ladder. He was nimble, quick-acting
individual, for like an acrobat he
pulled himself up alongside of the bill
poster. Then he grabbed the long
faring paste brush from his hand and
gave him blow directly under the
chin. Tom Stibbs went headlong to
the inside edge of the sidewalk,
uttered a groan and lapsed into in
sensibility.

"No-aha." calculated his compan-

the sign and the ladder set against it.

A 90 per cent solution OF sulphuric

that the acid line will be visible when
it is applied.

PRIVATE SCHOOLS.
One of the pro-saloon arguments in
high license states is that the liquor
traffic helps maintain the public
schools. A Nebraskan newspaper fit
tingly replies thus: Eyes, that is true,
but 1t does more than that. 1t main
tains a school system Of its own.
While the little boys are being gath
cred into the public schools where
they are trained to read, to write and
to think, the young men are being
gathered into the private schools Of
the liquor traffic, the saloons, where
they are trained to swear, to tell lewd
stories and to drink.
1.-THE public school takes the boy,
builds up his intellect and trends him
towards high character and good
habits. The private school Of the
liquor traffic, the saloon, takes that
boy when he is a little older, de.
bauches his intellect and trends him
toward low character and bad habits"

a moment or two. Suddenly he

public knew of the case was the in

the effect that Barney Flynn, profess
