Owing to some aisagreement between him and the waterworks company, the compan some week or more ago shut off the water at his house. He turned it on again, only to have it turnea off again. Then he got an injunction in Judge Aylesworth’s court restraining the com- pany from turming off the water, or otherwise interfering with it. " He thought that would settle it until the merith of the case could be heard, but to his surprise the water was cut_off again. He then caused the engineer of the com- pany, Harry Birkinbine, and the book- keeper, Mr. Warren, to be arrested for cnnlemrl of court in thus violating the injunction. The water has been running for several days all right, but yesterday it was turned off again. Another war- rant was sworn out for Mr. Birkinbine. The cases have been set for Thursday, and an inweresting result is expected. The bonds in _the contempt case have been fixed at $2 el We still have afew elegant refriger- ators.

Officiats Inviting Com- plainants—The Street Car Griev- ance—Hard Road to Travel to Manawa—Council Doings. A Bottom For the Boom. “‘Have you been watching the way the Union Pacific is working?' inquired an old and eagle-eyed resident. ‘'l tell you there's something more to it than just getting dirt for the new bridge. I've been watching proceedings, and from what I can hear and from what I can see I'm willing to bet $100 that the Union Pacific is planning on pushing a line east to Chicago. They are getting dirt for the approaches to the bridge, but they are at the same time making an awful good road through the city, which will be a good way out when the road wants to vush on eastward, There is just cnough dirt being taken out to make a good double track road. In some places there 1sn't more than six or eight feet cut out, and then the road is pushed right along. 1f it was only the dirt that was wanted why don't they go right along intoa bluff and get what they want in- stead of building the road right along. You look over the ground and see if I'm not right. I tell you the Union Pacific is getting ready to go east when 1t wants to, and when it wants to it will have its roa already through the city. The road up by Munster springs is the old route sur- veyed a long time ago. ‘There has been a survey made more recently and that is 1n about the same di n. With all the rumors afloat it seems that this eastern line is not all talk. 1t may not be com- d right away, but the Union Pa- 8 going to be in shape so far as get- ting through the city is concerned, so that when the time comes that much of it will be ready.” *"e “Well, the round house of the Union Pacific is settled. [t's located. The work 18 to go right along."’ *'You haven’t had any doubt about its being built sooner or later, have you?” “Why no, but the Union Pacitic offi- cials have now fixed to go ahead. They were over here the other day, and had the plans laid out before them in Mr. Burn’s office, and I know that was what they were up to. They looked over the ground, too, and I'm certain now. You see it l0oks to reason that the big round honse should be here, for what's the use when a train comes in, of sending the engine over to Omaha, and then rucning it back again when the train was read to start out again? Mr. Potter put it pretty well the other day when he said ‘“there’s no sense in hav- ing a stable seven miles away from where you have to keep your buggy.” The passcnger coaches are to be kept on this side just as soon as the bridge 18 finished, and it will be cheapest and best to keep the engines here too— so that theround-house will have to be done by the time the bridge is completed- That's one thing that makes me sure that when the oflicials were unrolling their plans over here the other day the round- house was what they were figuring on. I've heard some things, too, butyou musn’t give me away. Yau can just say 1n 4 general sort of a way that the round- house is located, and the work will com- mence very soon. You can bet your woucey on it, too.”” . 'm pretty well satisfied,” remarked Dr. Jefferis yesterday, *‘that the Milwau- kee & St. Paul is figuring on putting in its railway bridge up the river, above the waterworks. I know that itis only a short distance to bed rock there, and the rail- way bridge can be ru( in easily. There have been a lot of surveyors making soundings and runninglines. Yousee ['ve been iving there since [ squatted on that land, and I've had a good chance to watch, I've asked these men what they were doing, and they generally told me that they wer nfiuql zukinfi observations to see how much the river bed was chang- ing, or how the height of water com- pured with 1881, or something of that sort, as if they were tuking obscrvations for the government, It's more lkel that they are figuring on having a rail- way bridge there. They have been figur- ing on getting some land on the river, too, so that it seems that they have not given up the bridge scheme by any means,” » " Dearborn & Rice are vlanning on put- ting up & good many cottages on their property near the transfer. They are Luildlux the first one now, and they in- tend to put up as many as they can sell on casy terms. With the completion of the Union Pacific bridge there will be a great deal easier and cheaper communi- cation between the two cities, and houses will be in demand. The change of the gang which attends to the passenger coaches will necessitate the removal of about forty families from the other side to the Council Bluffs side, and it is un- derstood that the Union Pacific intends to build this season sixty cottages for its employes. There is cvery indication that a good start will be made this season towards covering the bottoms with dwellings, factories, store-houses, ete. e ‘There are numerous conjectures as to what the Union Pacific bfidfe will be when completed, and how it will be man- aged. It looks to many as if the plan was to be for a motor line, instead of a cable, but it matters hittle so long as the public gets the quickest and cheapest communication possible. It is predicted that the wagon ways will be put into condition tor actual use, and that time will lowed between the running of trains, so that there will be no danger of horses being frightened, and no delay beyond a few minutes under any circum- stances, - e The completion of the Union Pacific bridge will open for actual settlement a large amount of bottom property, which wifi advance rapidly in price. These lands are located so near Omaha and are 80 convenient and so cheap that they will afford opportunities for many to secure homes ncar their work and at prices within reach. An arrangement is being made for the securing of a large number of lots for actual residents, which can be bought on easy terms for about §200 a lot, on condition of the purchaser putting up a house upon the lot thus bought. This price will be a special one to accommo- date those who want homes and to en- courage the building of houses. 'The price 18 about half of what the lots are actually worth. It is belioved that with such an arrangement the number of actual resideuts wnll.multXply rapidly. e Another ghm being arranged 15 for a rand boulevard along avenue G, and then turning southward to Ninth avenue, and then east again on that avenune right through the Omeha adaition. 1t is the intention to have this boulevard made so a8 to render it one of the best drives ros sible. A double row of shade trees is to be planted on ench side of the beulevard, ‘Those owping property along the pro- posed route are quite unmulluh\hnvn it, aud the enterprise will doubtless be pushed through, for it would enbance the value of osher property more.than the cost of making the improvement. Bad On Buggles. Something should be. done to widen the road to Lake Manawa, and that at once. ‘The board of county supervisors or some one in authority should sce that the road is put 1n proper condition before another Saturday and Sunday spproach, as the citizens are becoming tired of this negli- gence, and a lurge amount of it certainly rests on the shoulders of the county su- pervisors, That the road to the lake lies in two townships, Kane and Lewis, 1s cortainly to be regretted. Did it lie entirely in Kane, then the city authorities would be responsible to a certain extent, and per- haps they could be induced to give it proper attention, The cu( has graded and opened several streets in the south- ern portion of the city for the only reason that the traffic in that di- rection is so extensive on account of Lake Manawa that they deemed it necessary to have more driveways. The road supervisor of Lewis town- ship, Mr, Wright, has stated that he in- tended to grade the road but as yet he has not done so. He claims now that just s soon as they got through plowing corn, work on the road will begin. But after the corn is plowed it may be too late to begin the grade. Several persons may have lost their lives by the negli- gence of these persons who prefer to vlow corn. If it is not possible for these people to leave their corn ficlds, certainly there are other persons in the world who can be put to work at once. This is not A matter that intercsts the tew veople who reside in Lewis township, but a case in which seven out of every ten persons who reside in Council Blufls are deeply interested, A case that inter- €sts many who do not reside here. Those from Omaha and other places who risk their life and limbs by riding in any kind of a vehicle to Lake Manawa, Ladies have been knocked out of bug- gies, one lady has b knocked into the slough, twelve to fifteen others have had their buggies broken -all for the reason that part of the road is too narrow. The new bridge 1s a help, but with a double driveway bridge and a single driveway road at either approach, the double driveway bridge is of little value. Before any serious damage occurs this should certainly be attended to. e Asking For Complaints, Yesterday morning at 9 o'clock the special car of the general manager of the Chicago, Burlington & Quincy railway company pulled into the city depot of the road, bearing a dis- tinguished party. There were General Manager H. B. Stone, General Freight Agent E. P. Ripley, General Passenger Agent Paul Morton, Division Superin- tendent W, C. Brown, Division Freight Superintendent W. J. Davenport and Attorney J. W. Blythe, and State Rail- way Commissioners Dey and Coffin. Commissioner Smith joined the party after its arrival. The gentlemen were here for the purpose of hearing any com- plaints the pcople of the city had to make concerning the operation of the road and to receive any suggestions that would be of mutual benefit. Among the citi- zens present were T. J. Evans, Mayor Groneweg, Alderman Wells. E. H. Merriam and others. General Manager Stone invitea any one present to offer any suggestions or make any complaint they chose, Maybr Groneweg, representing the firm of Groneweg & Shoentgen, called attention to the disproportion in rates between Chicago and this city on ear lots und barrel iots of sugar, there being a difference of only 34 ¢ n favor of car lots, which gave'the Chicago shipper & disastrous advantage over the Council Blutfs shipper. The rates between New York and Chicago were 20 cents in favor of the car lot of sugar and 17 cents be- tween Baltimore and Chicago on canned goods. This gave the eastern wholesale merchant a serious advantage over the western wholesaler. This was the only complaint made, and Mr. Stone promised to give it attention, although, he said, it wus the same old knotty problem that they had been trying to settle for some time past. The matter of a new depot was then discussed, and Manager Stone stated that for the past four years the company had kept in bank $12,000 that was appropri- ated for the purpose of building a new city depot at this point, and which was only not used for the reason that the company expected to be called upon to enter into a union depot and did not wish to build a $15,000 or $20,000 building and then not occupy it. A good deal of very earnest conversation then ensued con- cerning the union depot project and some very flattering promises were given, the future performance ot whicn will be a matter of great importance to the city. The oflicials and the commissioners go from here to East Nebraska City. e The City Council, An adjourned meeting of the city coun- c1l was held last evening. Mayor Groneweg was requested to at- tend the meeting of the state board of equalization now in session at Des Moines. He is to start this morning. The mayor was also instructed to cor- respond with other mayors in regard to a meeting to be held to prepare a plan of action in regard to assessment of city property and the limit of city indebted- ness. ‘The ordinance for changing the grade of High School avenue was passed unanis mously, and all members present except Alderman Danforth. ‘The committee on streets was empow- ered to put Woodbury avenuein passable condition. Captain Hight a peared in behalf of the Council Bluffs Scavenger company, offering an amendment to the ordinances now existing, so that they might get the exclusive privilege for a series of years. 1t was referred to the city attorney ana judiciary committee. Mr. Thomas Officer desired the council a8 a body to see the electric hight on the court house. He had assured them indi- vidually that there would be distinct shadows cast at a distance of 2,500 feet. He wanted a chance to show that such was not only the case, but that the light was thrown nearer 4,000 feet. ‘The city engineer reported that the water pipes were in the way ot the Fifth avenue sewers. The water works com- pany did not want to move them until it was decided who shall pay the expense. Referred to city attorney. The council then adjourned. —_— Better Street Car Service. It certainly did Council Bluffs some good when the lowa railroad commission held the Union Pacific investigation in this city. If in nothing else, 1t has caused numer- ous improvements in the street car ser- vice. ‘I'he then manager of the Union Pacific, Mr. Callaway, refused to ride to an from the investigation 1n the miserable apologies this city had for street cars. Shortly after the investigation, and through™ Mr. Callaway, there were new cars put on and the service was greatly improved. V. H. Burns, the manager of the line, has run the cars to the best poesible ad- vnnugo since his removal to this city from Omaba. And now another improvement takes lace. P 1t has for some time been the trouble that the cars in each direction have been Tun too closely together, one being right behind the other and then a vncnne;l_ a8 taken place for fifteen minutes. his has been the trouble on Broadway, be- tween the up-town terminus and Pearl street.

J. Hartery, who travels for Merrill & Co., of Chicago, wus 1n the city yester- day. “What do you think about my looking like a boodler? It's a fact. I wae taken for one at Rock lsland. Do I look like a boodler? Well, nn,v\vnY. as the train was at that vlace, two Rock Island detectives jumped on board, and running through the cars looked me over, and asked me where 1 came from, I told them from Chicago. Then the; asked me my name and my business. didn’t know who they were, and it made me hot. So I told them it was none of their business. Then they said they'd have to arrest me! They said I was Con- nelly, a Chicago boodler. 1 had quite a time convineing them, and had to show all my papers and my business before they would let me go. Say, do I look like a boodler?” STt In llyflpflrsln and indigestion the use of Dr. J.'H.

Copper is to-day the cheapest article in the commercial world. The price is Jower than it has ever been in the history of the arts, Its low price has induced a wide range of new uses and an enlarged consumption in old channels. The at- tention of capitalists has been attracted to the cumpnmlivel{ low price of this metal, and it is hardly to be presumed that prices will remain as low for many wmontns longer. ‘Fhe cause of the low price of copper seems to be largely from the mistaken poliey of the lurge copper mining companies in presuming that the best way to keep up old-time dividends is to double the products of their mines. If they could adopt the policy of reduc- ing their production, they would soon get a remunerative price from what they did mine. Again, notwithstanding the low price of copper, it is & somewhat notable fact that the price of copper wire, sheet and bar copper has not fallen in proportion, *and the consumers of the various products of copper have not been benefittea from this fall in price so much as capitalists who control copper rullinf mills. Appreolating this point, some large Boston capitalists are erect- (u&l fine plant for rolling covper at Lake Superior, and 1t 1s to be hoped that the oonsumers of this valuable metal will soon be able to participate in the ad- vantages which low priced metal aftords.
