There has not been a single request asked by any railway company but what the city has gladly granted. The po has been very liberal toward railway companies, and at times too liberal for the advantage and interests of private citizgns, who have been dammaged for the sake of What seemed the public good. Whenever a railway company wanted to go anywhere the city has always said, 'there’s a street, or an alley, take it, help yourself.” Now the opportunity is given Tor the railways to show how much they appreciate this sort of generosity. The city ns a whole islargely interested in having the Manawa motor line started up. All that is desired is that the railway companies allow the motor line to cross some of their tracks. The motor line company propose to pay the expense. The right is all that is asked. A few of the railway companies say they will not grant the request. They have no very o0d reason to offer, only they do not want to 0 s0. By standing in the way of this enter- prise they simply delay matters, and awaken 0d deal of bad feeling toward them- selves and accomplish no good, for in time they will b obliged to grant the request. In view of the situation the railway companics thus obstructing the enterprise will not be in very good condition to ask for further favors. — ith on Broadway, g_o Northwestern Competitive Literary Merit. Yesterday afternoon the two literary so- cieties of the Western Iowa college, the “Western Iowa" and the “‘Utile Dulci,” had aliterary contest to demonstrate the rela- tive merits of each. The ‘‘Utile Dula” is composed mostly of advanced pupils and A Clean Sweep. Street Commissioner Avery has received orders to employ every man and team that e can get, and keep them busily at work cleaning the mud from the paving until all the paved streets are put in decent condition. Broadway has already been cleaned from First street to Main, and the work i8 also being vigorously prosecuted on Washington avenue, Pearl street and lower Broadway. It will require several weeks to complete the work, but it is something that has been needed for some time. Another thing that requires immediate attention is to look after the dirt haulers, ana see that the ordinance in regard to tight wagonsand endgates is rigidly enforced, If this is not done, it will be but a comparatively short time until these streets will be as muddy as ever, and the monéy now being expended will be practi- cally thrown awag. If the generous contri- butions from the dirt wagons were cut off, it ‘would be soveral years before the streets could again become as filthy and nearly im- gnsaibleu they have been this spring. It is oped that the new council will continue the *“clean uweep”‘{volicy that has thus far been carried out, and keep the streets in a condi- tion to do credit to the city, and at the same time give the mxsnyeru that to which they are justly entitled. ———— The party who took the box of pru- nells from in front of Troxell Bros.’ store last Wednesday evening is known and he must either return them or settle by payment.

The water is rising but is not yet high enough to interfere with work on the bank pieces. During the past twenty-four hours the water has risen over a foot, and is now eight feet and three inches above low water mark. Yesterday morning Manager Harry Birkenbine, of the water works company, recewved a communication from Sioux City stating that the ice on the river at that point was_ still solidly gorged ‘both above and below the city, and that there was considerable snow.on the ground. In- terested parties here seem to think that there is no immediate danger to be feared, and work on the bridge is now in such shape as to preclude the possibility of any damage to anything except pier No. 2, which might be carried away by an unusually heavy flow of ice, us there is scarcely any masonry work in it.

One gentleman who owns & good deal of bottom property remarked yesterday: “I'm going to start in at once planting trees, Just look at the driving park. Only five years ago some trees were planted there, Look at them now. They give a splendid shade, and every one of those trees, which cost only 25 cents apiece, adds $10 to the value of the property in any- body's eyes. In five years wore those trecs will be as fine as those in Bayliss park, Yes sir, 1 beliove every dollar Iput into trees will wdd five Umes as many to the value of my rly. o) If this polioy was to be followed generally there would be & great improvement in the lrpennnue of the residence portion of the eity, and tracts which now look uninviting would be in great demand.

The electric light Ide engine has been shipped back to the factory and workmen are busy putting the new Westinghouse m place. One engine, the old Westinghouse, now fur- nishes the entire power for the electric lighting of the city. This would be impossi- ble but for the fact that the moonlight is all that is necessary during the earlier hours of the night, so that the tower lights are not turned on until after the 10 and 12 o’clock lights are extinguished. The new engine will be in running order in a few days, but probably it will not be needed until about the 1st of next month. The new incandescent lights in the club rooms are giving perfectsatisfaction, and it is probable that this system of interior lighting will soon_become quite extensively used in the business offices of the city. A single in- candescent light is amply sufficient to light a room twenty feet square for all ordinary purposes, and costs but $ per month, glving a much pleasanter light than the_ arc, that costs $12 per month. When once placed in position the incandescent light needs no more_attention, and does away with all the trouble and unpleasant features of recarbon- ing, that are inseparably connected_with the use of the are light. The tower lights still hold their place in popular favor, and the at- tendants have learned by actual experience how to take careof them, and there is no cause for oomplaint on account of lights not burning. Its system of electric lighting is the least of the city’s troubles, and is inex- pressibly better than illuminating gas at $4 per thousand. LA Lillic Oxley’s Death, * Colonel Dailey, county prosecuting attor- ney, spent yesterday investigating the death which occurred last weck of Lillie Oxley, alias Maud Clark, an inmate of Bell Clover's house of ill fame, who, its was believed, had taken her own life. Last evening Mollie Stanley and Mary Hoban, alias Frankie Park, who were inmates of the Clover place at the time of the death, were brought before Colonel Dailey and the coroner and most searchingly examined. Both the girls ad- mitted that Maud did not commit suicide. She had beeen drinking during the evening and had become noisy. In ordér to quiet her some morphine was procured, and as she said she was in the habit of taking the drug a heavy dose was administered, from the ef- fects of which she never recovered. On all points but one the evidence of the two girls agreed, but when questioned as to who ad- ministered the morphine, each said that the other did. That it was not suicide was evi- dent from this testimony, but both Colonel Dailey and fthe coroner are confident that there was no foul play. e To Protect Its Oredit. The municipal government has adopted a new method of disposing of the city’s im- provement bonds, Heretofore these bonds have been signed and placed upon the mar- ket, and speculators, knowing that they must be sold at some price, forced the price down and the result was disastrous to the city. By the new method a sale is negotiated before the bonds are issued, ana the result is that they are sold at their par value,and the ruinous discounts previously suffcred are entirely done away with, A large amount of twenty-one year bonds were sold yesterday Ly the mayor, and the city's contractors il not be compelled to hawk them about and finally dispose of them for what they can get. This will have a tendency to greatly increass the value of the city paper und increase its credit. ——— Piles cured with certainty. Dus, Moser & Van Ness, Council Bluffs, Ia.

Detroit Free Press: He waitedon the corner for me to_come up. I saw, while yet a long way off, that he was (liln‘vidn- ted and hard-up. It would have been plain to a man riding at a gallop that there had been gross mismanagement of his energies and finances. He kept sizing me up as Idrew nearer. The result appeared satisfactory until a dis- tanco of ten feet separated us. Then a wave of disappointment swept over his face, or would have done so had it been given half ashow. He was disappointed in me. 1didn’tlook like a man who'd yield up a quarter without giving value veceived. I was just passing him when he changed his estimate and abandoned his theory. I was the kind of a man after all, and he put out his hand and whisperingly inquired: “Can I speak with you a moment?” “Certainly.” “Thanks.” Ihavea letter here from my brother in Chicago. He writes that my wife is dead, and_of course I want to go home. Could you )mro me a quarter towards my raiiroad fave?” - - “Oh, yes.” “Many thanks, T tell you, mister,I'm playing in hard luck.” S0 you are. Sorry for y That evening I met him two blocks further down. We recog- nized each other instantly. I was about toask him if he had succeeded in get- ting a ticket when he said: “Say, mister, let me speak with you.” “Certainly.’ “It’s the first time I ever had to ask for anything of the sort, but I want to get to Chicago. Here's a letter inform- ing me of the death of my wife.” **And of course you want me to give you a lift financially. Will a quarter e of any help?” “QOh, yes, sir, and I thank you ever 50 mgcl\‘ Heaven will surely reward you. That night he went on ahowling drunk and was arrested, but when taken to the police court he begged off. He was considerably rattled, but on the second day he placed himself across my path again. I could realize as I came g that he was thinking: ‘‘Here comes that old bald-head T've hit twice before. He came down so easy Tl tey him again.” And as J came up he cleared his throat and said, “'Say, mister, just let me speak a word to you.” “Certainly.” ‘‘Here is a letter from Chicagoinform- ing me of the death of my wife.” “Poor fellow!” ‘‘And I want to fio home to-night.” “Of course you do. The train leaves fiom the Third street'depot at 8 o’clock.” Yes, sir, but I'm broke, sir. I'm just out of the hospital, and if you could chip in a hittle I'd be so very—" “Why, of course. Here's a_quarter for you, and I hope Tyuu‘ll kave no trouble "getting enough to buy your 0.y ce to face ticket. I'm always sorry foraman in your fix.” “Bless you, sir! I'll never forget this, never!” This was early in the morning. At 5 o’clock, as I went home, I saw him about ablock away. He was waiting for me, and he intended to ““Sorry, sir, to have to trouble you again. You arc the gent who so kindly gave me a quarter this morning to help buy my ticket to Chicago. I lack a dol- lar yet. and if I dared to hope—that is, if you would be so kind of heart as to give me another quarter I think I could manage.” And he had it all planned out that I would rep! “Oh. yes. I remember you. still lack a dollar? Here, ‘half.” But when I had approached him with- in twenty feet and he was clearing his throat to get the proper pathos worked up arunaway horse came along and created a diversion. A crowd gathered and in the excitement the striker lost sight of me. Isaw him trotting around through the crowd in search of a hare, but he failed to hit my trail. At 9 o'clock next morning, howdver, fortune smiled on him again, He didn’t intend to take chance this time. He had prob- ably reasoned during the night that if I saw him waiting for me 1 would stop short or turn back. He was therefore hidden in a doorway and he came out upon me suddenly and began: *'Heaven knows how hard it is for me to have to ask another favor of you who have been so kind, but ——" SFavor of me?”’ 1 granted you a favor. 1never saw your face before. ‘What is it man?” “Why sir I want to go to Chicago to bury my wife.” “0Oh, I see. And you havn’t the monoy to pay your fare?” “That’s it, sir.” “Well, I'm sorry for you. Here’s a quarter and I hope youll have no trouble raising the rest.” “Thank you, sir, and I'll never forget » And you take this If he laid for me again that day he missed me, but next morning he once more barred the way. He came up to me quite confidehtly and said: *You remember of giving me a quar- tor yesterday, I suppose?’ “%uu'{ N{), s'lr.” “Tt was to help me to Chicago to bury my wife,” “\No recolleotion of any such thing, sir.” “But you are certainly the gent who has given me money four or five times this week, to help me buy a ticket.” I beg your parden, sir. T never saw you before. Good day, sir,” He stared after me with open mouth and next day Isaw him in the polic court on trial for vagrancy. I wen o to him and asked him if he had buried his wife, and if he aidn’t feel broke up, ard if a quarter would do him good, and after a long, hard stars atme he replied: “Say, you go to Halifax.” ey The Newer Way.

The Story of 1ts Rise in Agricultural and Commercial Importance. Was there ever a history, this side of Cinderella, of the uprising of humility like that of ootton-seed? asks the At- lanta Constitution, For seventy years despised as a nui ance and burned or dumped as gar- bage. Then discovered to be the very food for which the soil was hungering, and reluctantly admitted to the rank of ugly utilities, Shortly afterward found to be nutri- tious food for beast as well as soil, and thereupon treaten with something like respect. Once admitted to the circle of farm husbandries, found te hold thirty-five gallons of pure oil to the ton, worth in its crude state $14 to the ton, or $40,000,~ 000 for the whole crop of seed. But then a system was devised for re- fining this oil up to a_value of $1 a gal- lon and the frugal Italians placed a cask of it at the root of every olive tree and then defied the Borean breath of the Alps. And then experience showed that the ton of cotton-seed was a better fertiliz and a better stock food when robbed of its thi ve gallons of oil than before. And that the hulls of the seed made the best of fuel for feeding an oil-mill engine, And_that the scooped from the, ashes of the hulls engine’s draft had the highest commercial value as potash. And that the *‘refuse” of the whole made the best and purest soap stock to carry to the toilet the perfumes of lubin or cologne. About this time we began cotton seed with capital letters. And how it traveled abroad in its various dsesses! Asaineal cakes it whit- ened the meadows of England th woolly fleeces and fattened the British oattle under the onks; it sputtered on the stoves of the autch in lieu ot lard; it glistened in the cafes of Paris asolive oils under seals and signatures it could not even pronounce to save its life, and from under the dikes of Holland it went forth to parade inall the bravery of but- ter and butterine. n our own country it removed the wasting strength of southern fields and clad them with “whiteness that would shame the the flecces of England land, or yellow that would pale the fleeces of Argonauts. I knocked the western hogs into spots and poured the western lard out of the frying-pau into the fire. It furnished the Armours and F ks with a pure substitute for the rancid fat they had been shipping us, and sug- gested the possibility of a clean and cheap lard. And ubout this ime congress jumped on to cotton seed With both feet and pro- posed to check its further career by a prohibitory law. And now comes a gentleman of this city with a process by which he extracts thirty gallons of fine oil from cvery ton of cotton seed meal after the oil mills had done with it. In the *‘t ngs” of the oil mills he finds this unexpected and ample store, which he deftly ex- tracts with naptha, leaving the meal more nutritious as food for beast or field than before he took $10 a ton from it. This process he has proved repeatedly in his labratory, and next week will prove in wider practice in amill erected or the purpose near Atlanta. This in- vention wlll add 40 per centto the quan- tity of oil taken by the old process from a given quantity of seed. More than this, it suggests the splen- did possibilities yet undeveloped for this rural Cinderella that has risen all s0 swiftly from the ashes and the waste heap. to spell —_— The Sweetest Girl in School. “She’s the sweetest girl in school!” enthusiastically exclaimed one young miss to another, as they passed “down the street together. ‘‘Edith is so kind, and gentle, and unsclfish, every one likes her. And she has lovely golden hair and pretty e Isn’t a pity her complexion is so bad; it spoils herlooks. And then she has such dreadful head- aches!” The girls skipped along, but 1t happened Edith’s mother had heard what they suid. It set her thinking. ‘What could be done for th head- aches and the rough, muddy complex- ion, that was such a trial to her daugh- ter. She recalled what she had read of Dr, Pierce’s Golden Medical Discovery, and on the spur of the moment she slipped into a drug store and bought a supply. Edith took it faithfully, with the result that it cleared her disordered blood, relieved the headaches, made her skin soft, fair and rosy, and now she is not only the *‘sweetest girl in school,” but the most beautiful, THE MAN AND THE FRY. A Hungry Custom Who Kept an Eye on the Oysters in the Pan. Philadelphia North American: He wandered into a down-town restaurant and gravitated toward the counter where oysters are cooked toorder while you walt. He wasa tall man, with a nose like a horn spoon and a general air of financial panalysis. He climbed up on one of the stools reserved for cus- tomers who desire to watch the bivalves cooked, and gently whispered ‘‘Fry.” The cook nodded and began prepara- tions at once. It was none too soon for the tall man. He apparently had not eaten a fried oyster since 1873, and he watched the counting out of six much befloured oysters with intense interest. Leaning over the counter toward the cook, he whispered insinuatingly: “Say, " “What do you want?" “Are those all A 1 Havanas straight?” “What?” an are they the best brand of P oysters “Regular thing for fries,” answered the cook, impatiently. There was a silence for a moment while the oysters went into the pan, and then— “Say.” “What is it?” “I noticed that the fou oyster was smaller than the othe: can’t you throw in another for good luck?” “Impossible,” the cook answered shortly, as he put the oysters on the fire. And then the hungry customer concen- trated his whole soul in his e and watched the spluttering and frying pro- coss begin, Suddenly a drop of grease fell into the fire, and a popping sound and a blaze resulted, The effect on the hungry watcher was tremendous. He gprang up excitedly on his stool, leaned far over the counter with his eyes fas- tened on the pan, and called: “Put in another, put in another; the big yeller oyster has bustl” & SPECIAL NOTICES.
