SHOULD FORM A STOCK COMPANY Plan Com- neral Financinl Advantages of the mend to the Business Men In ¢ ~How Affuirs May Ue Benefite Loeal Largely “Iam giad to learn that the people of this city are beginning to agitate the qaestion of patronizing their home industries,” said a prominent man yesterday who is heavily interested in both Omaha and Council Bluffs real estate. *‘One thing we need is to secure the location of manufacturing enterprises bere, and the main question we are all inter- ested in is how to keep up the interest of the citizens in some organization similar in pue- pose to the one effected in the Masonic temple last Thursduy evening. I have a schemo which I think would fill the bill better than auything yet proposed, and 1l would like to lay it beforethe public through the columns of Tuk Bee. y plan would be to for a stock com pany ana incorporate it under the state laws with just as large a capital stock as could possibly be secured. Then when any manu facturing enterpriseis heard of that wants to relocatoe, appoint a committes to confer with its managers and lay bofore them a proposi- tion sometbing like this: Instead of offering them a bouus, agree to take a certain amount of stock in the enterpriso in the name of the eitizens' organization, with the understand- ing that the stock may be bought out by the manufacturers at any time at its par value, together with 6 per cent interest, and that while the association holds the stock 1t is to receive its share of the profits like any other stockholder, “T'nis plan, Ithink, would meet with the approval of any straightforward concern, and we wouldn't want to pay money to get any other kind located in the city. At the same time it would give the members of the association something in return for the money that they might expend in the way of build- ing up the city’s interests, which is the only successful way of keeping them interested in the association. Patriotism is all very well 80 far as it goes, but after the first flush of enthusiasm has passed men who look at things in & business like way want to see somwe direct results from their efforts." This plan has been adoptea vy the Union Loan and_Improvement company, of which John W. Paul is o member, and will be tried as an experiment in bullding up the vacant territory in the northwestern part of the city.

A meeting of citizens was held in the Board of Trade rooms last evening in ac- cordance with a call issuea yesterday by Chairman 8. B. Wadsworth of the demo- cratio county central committee, Nothing had been said of the meeting until during the afternoon, and it was consequently not very well advertised. Thore were about twenty-five present, all of whom but one were democrats, notwithstanding the fact that the call had been issued to republicans and democrats aliko. Lucius Wells presided and S. B. Wads. worth acted as secretar; W. H. M, Pusev stuted the object of the meeting, He said there were to bo two conventions hold by tne democrats of Iowa this year and there was no reason why Council Bluffs should not have one of them, and thus bring any- where from 1,500 to 2,000 strangers to the oty to partake of her hospitality and other drinkables., Representative W. H. Ware, who was present, wns called upon 1o state what he thought of the chances of Council Bluffs for securing the convention. He stated that he was satisfied that Council Blufts could secure the first convention, which was to be held in May for the parpose of nominating delegates to the national con- vention, as thare was but iittle competition, The second convention, which is to be held in August to nominate electors and candidates for the state officers, however, would be vastly more important and would also take more of an effort to capture, as Des Moines and Davenport were alreudy in the ring, with & probability that otber cities would enter the race in the course of tho next few days.” Remarks werc made by a numberof those qunz. it being the almost unanimoue opin- on that Council Bluffs should not waste much time on the first convention, but put in her best licks to get the second. On motion of Mr. Pusey, it was flually decided to appoint Senator Groueweg, and Repre- sentatives Ware and Briges a committee to coufer with the democratio state committee and make abid for the second convention, with the understanding tbat if it proved a forlorn hope, an effort should be made to induce them to hold the first one 1n Council Bluffs, A committee consisting of W, H. M. Pusey, T. . Casady and George A, Holmes was appointed to circulato a subscription list 10 the city for the purpose of raising the necessary guarantee fund, which will amount to about $300. The meetng then adjourned until Wednesday uight, when another will be held to hear the report of the latter committoe. e Accidents do and will happen most any time, but J.

The fact that he spent last night 1n the jail, how- ever, would seem to indicate that the case will not be allowed to drop where it is. Bowen stoutly denies that he took any- thing thet did not belong to him. *I ob- tained a position some weeks ago,” he said to a roporter last evening, “'to_canvass through western lowa for purchasers of farm lauds in Nebraska. On Saturday last I received £5 in advance for my coming week's ex- penses, 1 paid $10 o this on last week, as I had been sick with the grip a week and had run bebind. The remaining €15 I gave to Mrs. Pollard to keep for me. On Monday or Tuesday I received $10 of this and started out canvassing, as I had agreed to do. 1 had no other money and received no other mouey from Mrs. Pollard or any other person. I canvassed early und late until today noon, when 1 was arrested on the charge of embez- zlement. The troublo between myself and Mrs. Pollard was that she wanted me to use that remaining $15 for the purpose of going immediately to New York. This 1 refused to do, and coutinued to canvass as I had agreed with my employer to do.” Mrs, Poliord was very indignant when sho learned that Bowen had been brought in from Neola and loag d in the jail, where he would have to remain until morniug. She claimed to have given orders simply that word be sent her as soon as he was lycated, 50 that she might look him up and find out what he intenued to do.

A meeting of the mayors of the various cities of the state is to be held in Des Moines next Wednesday and Thursday, one of its objects being to talk up matters of interest and o organize for the purpose of effecting such changes as may be thought desirable in the way of legislation, Mayor Maccae will be preseat, and it is expected that the council at its meeting tomorrow evening will appoint a commiteo from among its members o accompany him, Mayor Macrae has received a letter from T. M. Gabble, mayor of Clinton, in which several matters are laid before him with a view to finding out what the sentiment of the people of this city is, and if favorable to unite in the effort to have them acted upoa at the meeting, Similar letters have been sent to the mayor of each of the princi i citios, and it is ovi- dent that an ammzu.? ffort will be made to effect the changes proposed. One of these changesitias reference to the appointment of the city-marshal. Under the present law the mayor . is authorizedto ap- point & city marsbal in all towns havm? a population of not less thitn 22,300, according to the census of 1880, ‘making him ex-officio chief of police and givipg bim all the powers now neld by both marshal aud chief. The ohange proposed will strike out the clause limiting the power af the mayor to cities having any particular pépulation, and will in effect do away with the ofice of city marshal entirely, e Drafts of bills were also presented provid- ing that cities of tho first_class or those of the second class havings population of 7,000 or over may levy a tax of not to exceed 3 mills on the dollar to maintain fire protection, and a similar tax to light toe streets, in addi- tion to the maximum amount now allowed by statute. No fund is now provided for either of these purposes, the police fund being large enough, under the peculiar manner of eu- forcing the prohibitory law, to pay all the ex- penses of tho fire and light departments. The chauge is proposed in view of the possibility of a change in the pronibitory law by which @ part of the revenues from the saloons shull be turned 1nto the coffers of the school fund, thus creating a deficlency in the other de- partments. e —- One of the most pleasant events of the week will be the concert given by the C.

Au Anclent Rose Bush, The oldest rose bush in the world isat Hildercheim, in Hanover. It was planted more than 1,000 years ago by Chuarlemagne in commemoration of a visit made to him by the ambassador of the Caliph Haroun al Rachid. After it had become a flourishing vine, a cathe- dral was built over it. It is known,how- ever, that a coffin-shaped vault was built around its sacred roots in the year 818, the vault and bush surviving a fire which ¢estroyed the cathedral in 1146, The bush is now twenty-six feet high and covers thirty-two feet of the wall, The stem, after 1,000 years’ growth, is only two inches in diamgter. e Don't Like the Organization.
