CHEAPER ELECTRIC LIGHT NOW. Reunion of the Crocker Brigade— Arranging the Court Terms—The Shooter at the Mint—Per- sonal Mention, The School Board Opposos Reforms: Atan adjourned regular mecting of the school board, neld Monday evening, the fol- lowing resolution was preseuted by Mr. Schoentgen : Whereas, The independent district of Council Bluffs, In,, has no: heretofore pro- vided any compensation for its treasurer, but has asked him to discharge onerous and responsible duties without pay, and the ro- suitis the only recompense for taking the oftice is a matter of sclecting a favorite bank as a depository of the funds: and, Whereas, The taxpayers and people of the district have an average account of £35,000 10 £40,000 on deposit, on which no interest is earned and the profits of which go not to the said treasurer, nor to the district, but into the private coffers of such bank, There. fore, be it Resolved, That the sulary of the treasurer of the independent school district of Coun- cil Bluffs be, and the sume is hereby fixed at $00 per annvm. 2. That the treasurer be and 18 hereby in structed and required to submiv at a meeting 1o be specially calied by the president for the 23d day of the present month at the vegular Tiour of 8 p. m., bids from the various banks of Council Bluffs, showing the rate pel centum of interest per anuum, sad banks are willing to pay on the daily balances of school funds and to tender with said bid or bids their bond with sureties for double the highest amount they are willing to receive on those terms, That the bond of said tr arer be and 1tis be: fixed in the sum of £75,000 Mr. Schoentgon, in support of his resolu- tion, said there was not sufficient importance altached to the treasurership by the people at large. It seemed that ordwarily the only auestion asked was ‘‘What bank does the candidate for treasurer deposit in?’ No at- tention is paid to his qualifications for the position. “When Mr. Hunter and myself we ndidates the question was frequently asked ‘what bank do they deposit w And when the learned, the cry was rased by some, ‘don't 'elect them, they de- posit in Offfcer & Pusey's bank,’ or such and such a bank. To forever put’ a stop to that sort of questions I offer this r lution. It will bring into our school treasury annu ally $2500, or $2,000 over and above the sulury of the treasurer. The taxpayer should receive this benefit. For five long years one bank hus had the benefic of this fund—equal to 810,000 in interest—nearly enough to build the proposed new school house 1n the west- ern part of the city. 1um n favor of giving the treasurer a fair compensation for his services, but I believe hie stould be treasurer in fact instead of some bank or bankers. ‘I'his board is & committee to look after the interests of the people of the schoal distriet, and we should dischargo our duties faith- fully. This board is composed of six demo- crats, and we claim to be ‘reformers,’ and ould muke good this claim by saving money to the taxpayers. I submit this resolution now for your deration.” A long and oppressive silence followed, cach member apparently waiting for some one else to break the ice of opposition. Fin- ally Mr, Lawson arose and denied the asser- tion of Mr. Schoentgen that the only issue in school ejections was the question of where the candidate deposited or which bank ne favored. He said he was not asked that guestion when be was elected, and he heard it first when Mr. Schuentgen was a candi- date. Lawson seemed to be under the im- pression that Schoentgen’s remarks were di- rected principally to him, and he tberefore arose to deny the statement. He stated that he would oppose the adoption of the resolu- tion. Member Blaxsim said he had never been spoken to by any banker concerning where he deposited ; in fact he had no money to de- posit, and neither was he under any obliga- tions to the banker. As to the résolution, however, he failed to state whether he was in favor or against its adoption. lember Hunter said he was taken by sur- prise and was not prepared to vote for such a resotution at that time. He approved the amount cf the bond required of the treasurer, but did not believe the board had the right to dictate to the treasurer what bank he should deposite the school funds in. There- fore he could not support the resolution, as he now looked at the matter, President Stuart didn t believe there was any provision in the law allowing the board to control the funds after they passed into the treasurer's hands. Ho believed that the trensurer had a right to do as he pleased with the school funds, so long as they were to pay over ou demand of the board. e could not favor the resolution, he said, though personally he believed it was right, and that the legislature should enact a law mving school boards the power to place school funds in such a way as to derive in- terest from them, but until such a law was enacted he felt he would have to oppose such a resolution as had been presented by Mr, Schoentgen, The matter was then dropped, all seem- ingly being @nxious to get away from the subject with all possible haste, The “reform” idea did not prove infec- tious, and noucof the bourd would second the resolution, The last clause. relating to the treasurer’s bond, was passed, however, and the board proceeded to elect a treasuror, Au informal ballot resuited, Keller 3, Bow- mav 1, Peregoy 1, Schoentgen 1. The formal ballot gave Peregoy 4, Bowman 1, Keller 1, and the present treasurer was declared re- elected, Several ballots for retary failed to result in a cho the candidates being George C. Brown, Emm Finley, W. D, Hardin and R. N. Whaittlesey. The janitors’ saleries were fixed as follows: Bloomer, $35 for the first aix months and $30 per month for the balance of the ye Hill, §70 the year round; New Pierce, $0: Fifteenth $14; Avenue B, §14; Eighth strect, $25; Cur- tin street, $30; Twentieth avenue, §25: Wood- y, Picrce, Clark and Gunn schools, $7.50 D, Third street, same as last year; Wash- ington avenue, €115 per month throwwhout the year, Crocker's lown Brigade, Attentio.

Cneaper Electricity and More of 1t Anera of cheaper electric lighting bas dawned upon Council Bluffs, and the effect will be felt after the middle of December, at which time the present contract with the Council Bluffs Electrio Light and Power company expires, As stated in yesterday's report of the council proceedings of Mouday evening, & contract for lighting the city for five years was awardod to the Sperry Elec- tric company, of Chicago, and yesterday morning the mayor and a committee of council met the representative of that com- pany, Mr. Charles £. Gregory, and their at- torney, George K. Wright, at the cty building, where a contract was drawn up and signed. This contract provides that the company shall furnish seventy-five arc lights, of 2,000 candle power each, fur §100 per year for each light, This was the lowest bid received, the Couacil Blufts Gas company offering to furn. ish the same light at §108; the ne orgau- ized Council Bluffs Gas aud Eleciric Light company (of Chicago), $125, while the pres- ent company was the highest bidder, §155, as compared with the $240, which they are re- ceiving under the present contract. It will be seen that the new rates are cousiderably less than half what they now are, which will uite an itew. The contract us “granted 1o the Sperry company does not provide for the $100 rate for the full term of their con- tract for five years, but stipulates tbab it shail be 8100 the first year, $98 the second, Fine jewel cleaniug and re| 6 Merriawm blk, 805 the thira, 804 the fourth and £92 the fifth, The offer of the company was to continne this reduction at the same rate if a contract was issued for ten years, making the price for the tenth year #32 per light, but the council preferred to let a new contract at the end of five years, A few parties were inclined to do the usual amount of kicking yesterday, bocause the contract was not awarded to the old company, which has a large and finely equipped plant here. The simple reason why the council did not do it, is because they could save £22,250 on_the five year's contract by placing it where they did. Mr. Thomas, officer of the present com- s seen yesterday, and asked as to his plans. Said he: “We'shall continue to_operate as before. It wi to be supposed that the Sperry folks woald beat us, as that is a manufacturing company and make thoeir own machinery, while we have to pay reg- lar rates for ours. They have beaten us on the city lighting and we will have to meet their prices for lighting stores and busi- houses. Of course, they can cut the prices for that 8o low that we can not com- pete with them, which will drive us out of the market, so far as arc lighting is con- cerned, as we would rather let our dynamos stand still than run them at a loss. We will continue our incandescent plant, as the new Al“nu:ilnmy will not put iz a plant of this ind.” [n an interview with Mr, Gregory, of the new company® that gentleman said, *We will ot to work as 800n as Wo can ot our mate- rial here, and be ready to start up before the present contract with the old cowmpany ox- pires. We hope to furnish tirst-class light, and will forfeit 8,000 if we do not give a bet- ter lignt than the city has at present. All of our lights will be 2,000 nominal candle power. You must understand that all lights of 2,000 nominal candle power sare not of 2,000 actual candle power, aud it requires very delicate apparatus to test them, but our lights will come nearer to it than those now usod 1n the city. ‘We claim thut our improved automatic ma- chines will give a steadier light with less noise than any make on the market. Our automatic attachment 18 on the dynamo, 80 that if there is any change in the power, such us wouid be occasioned by the slipping of a belt, or in the lamp or upon the circuit, the lizhts do not show it, as the change moves a regulator that causes the brushes to take up either more or less electricity, 80 as to keep tho current the same. We offer to put a set of our machinery in a room with the ‘Chomp- son-Houston, which you have here. and 1f ours does not give a better, steadier light with less noise, less sparkling at the brushes, and does not run in & more satisfactory manuer in every way, we will forfeit our machinery, and in caso the Thomson-Houston folks fail, we will not ask them to forfeit their machinery, 8o that it will not cost them anything i case they lose. We would not make this offer unless we knew thut we had the best system, and if we did not mean to put i a plant_here that would come up to all requirements, we would not offer to amperemeter in any pub- lic oftice or place that the council may desig- nate, 8o that anyone may see at any time just what our current is and how perfectly our machines and lights are workng, We will put in one of the fiuest plants in west, to cost about £4)000, and we will furnish the best and cheapest light that you have ever had in your city. Incandescent light! Yes, sir, we will putinan incan descent plant, and have it ready to operate as s00n as the other. What our rates will be I cunnot say, as that will depend upon how long our circuits are, and how many con- sumers we can get. Your present rates for this kind of light, however, are very reason- able, being one-fifth of a cent per hour cheaper thav in Chicago; that is, if as I un- derstand, your present rate is a cent an hour for sixteen candle power light. Of course, your meter system is somewhat different from that. If we could get enough subscribers we could cut rates on incandes- cent lights; but I would not think that you could do much better in that resvect. ‘There is no use talking about incandescent lights being cheaper than gas at its usual price, still there ure those who prefer the electric light if the price is about the same, and woe will run a plant as well as furnish power for electric wotors. We will not run our in- candescent plant all duy, for this city would not pay for doing 1t, but we will make provi- sions to run on all dark, cloudy or fogiy days. We will mive a perfect service, as nearly as 1t is possible to have it.” Do you put in this plant for the purpose of organizing a local company to take it off your hands?" “No sir, not by a long shot. We wi'l sell our plant if any compauy wants tos pay our price, otherwise not. The last franchise granted by vour council was to a company which intended to do that very thing. They failed to organize tne company, and their plant was not put in, Our company has enough capital to carry these plants, and 1f outsiders do not wunt" them, members of the company will tuke them in.” Mr. Gregory was then called away to take the morning train for the south, but before going referred to his company's ' plant at Ot- tumwa, and also in Chicago, where they furnish 500 arc lights. ‘The members of the council express them- selues as satisfied with the contract, und say that if the new plant is not what the contract calls for the money will not be paid, as the city wili not pay for what it does not get. ihe new company purchases the towers, aud those on Broadway will be relocated and placed in the residence portion, while the business streets will be illuminated with low lights at the street intersections. o -— Fairmount Park. e beautiful gem of Council Bluffs set amid the romantic hills ana shaded by ver- danv boughs of forest trees.

In view of recent otcurrences, it transpires that the insiguificant little shooting affray iu the Mint Monday night has led to the arrest of # dangerous gang of crooks, who are now confiaed at the city jail.. When the parties disappeared from the Mint after the shoot- ing, nothing was kuown of them, but the police were soon upon their track, and about o'clock yesterday mornig Ofl- ce Joselyn, Austin aud Thomas su ed in bagging four men, who afterwards proved to be the parties wanted. ‘Thio party who was shot could not be found and @ physician who attended the wounded wan refused to tell where he was located.

He had a rafi bf monay, seventeen wateh chains, six watehes and other trinkets in the jewelry line. 1t was ap- parent that 1t was_an important arrest. s positive evidench Bf this fact it is only necessary to relate the following: On 1he 18th of September the store of J. R. McCoy at Nevada, Story county, In., was broken open and the safe burgiarized. A large quantity of jewelry was stolen. ‘fho authorities of neighboring towns were fur- nished with a description of the missing arti- cles, and one of the cards was received by Chiof Lucas, Threp of the numbers of the missing watches corresponded with num- bers on watches: ofouna_ on the per- son of McCatherine. Sherift McCoy was notified of the arrest, and an answer was received that he would be here on the evening teain, In police court all the parties gave the same names as they did when arrested ex- cept MeCatherine, ‘who claimed he was drunk when arrested and did not know what he was doing. He was fined $10.10 by Judge Aylesworth, He claims his proper name is Fred Robe, and that his home is in Sun- dance, Wyo. He olaims to have worked for J.J. Brown and John C. Lee, both of this city, in railroad work. Kelley claims to hail from Philadeiphia, Mitchell from Red Bluff, Cal., and Walker from Leavenworth, Kui They will all be held to_await develpments. Up to daylight the police could get no clue to the party who was shot, but at an_early breakfast hour an officer noticed a waiter carrying a breakfast on a tray up Vine street. Ho followed and soon discovered blood spots along the sidewalk. The waiter entered No. 114 Vine street aud when he camo out was asked how badly the man was injured, to which the reply was m “He was shot through the wrist.” The officer then entered the place and found James Wheeler and tock him in custody. Indications point to the fact that Wheeler knew Robe had tho jewelry, and had hidden the valise in which it was Kept. He entered the saloon at the front door and Robe came in at the rear, and rushing up to him struck him a powerful blow in the face. Robe drew a revolver and tired twice, and then left the pluce by the rear door. ' His subsequent actions being as above narrated, — For a Purse of $100.
