A large crowd was attracted to the corner of Bryant strect and Washington avenue to what was the matter, and it was then discovered that the alarm had been given to call together those who were willing to en- gage in the search for W. M. Foster, the missing florist. A crowd of seventy-five or 100 was soon collected, many of whom were mounted. They procceded to the resi- dence of the missing man, where they divided into small squads and bagan a thorough and systomatic search over all that part of the cointry. Beforo they started L. A. Casper, who nad organized the party, anuounced that, a reward of 50 would be paid tothe man who should find Foster, dead or alive, and the members of the party were thus induced to put forth every effort to make the search a thorough one. One purty scoured the whole bottom from the Northwestern depot to the river on both sides of Broaaway, a second took the eastern part of the city from the ercen- house to the river on the nortb, while @’ third covered all that section of the country in the vicinity of Big Lake. Every place whero there seomed the slight- st possibility that a dead body could be con cealed was made the objoct of a close sear ca, but nothing was found that would throw any’ light on the present whereabouts of the miss- 1GR man. As time went on and no news was heard the wildest rumors began to circulate. 1t was reported that ho had boen found in Fairview cemetery, dead, with a terrible hole 1n his head, and almost in- numerable similar reports with shight differeuces of circumstances were hea all sides, while the telephone wires between the city and the greenhouse were kept hot with the yuestions and answers that kept rolling back and forth. Tho disappearance was almost the only subjuct of conversation on tho street corners. The question was asked many times during the day why the furnaces at the greenhouse had not been cleaned out and the ashes ex- amined in ordor to satisfy the suspicious that existed in many minds that perhaps Foster had been robved of what monev he had apout him and then thrown into the furnace. No such was, mado until the fires had burned many hours and when it was made of course there was nothing to te found. Tho theory that the man met his death in this way, however, is not believed in by those who have baen in- vestigating the affair, us a large crowd was collected at the greenhouse within a couple of hour- after he disappeared, and the bura- ing flesh, if the, ad been any, would surely huve been detected by the odor Yesterday several peoplo turned up who clamed to have scon Iuster at different times since his disappearance, some of them on the motor going to Omaha, others having met him on the streets. One man eveu went, 0 1ar as to say that he had talked with him on the street Sunday night. Mrs. M. E. Wetherbee will entertain the Rebekah socinl Thursday evening. Oysters and wmusements.

A meeting of the directors of the Union Depot company was held Monday evening for the purpose of hearing a report from George F. Wright and W. H. M. Pusey with reference to the recent conference thoy had in Chicago with the managements of the various roads centering in Council Bluffs, This conference wus attended by rep- resentatives of all the roads with the exception of the Union Pacific, and Mr. Wright states that they were all very willing toadmit that something must be done before long in the way of improving the depot accommodations or some fine moraing they would wake up and find that their headquarters bad tumbled down about their ears. They said they had been induced to postpone building local depots by some of the representatives of the Union Depot company, who were airaid thut any such move would result in the dropping of the union depot schemo alto- gother. ‘Thoy all appeared to be willing to unite in building a'union depot or elso put up buildings each one for himself. After talking over the Union depot plan for the hundredth time in all its aspects 1t was decided that the whole directory shoula g0 to Chicugo in accordance with an invita- tion extonded to them by the managers of the roads, and meet them to talk over mattors. The directors arcfMessrs. W. H. M. Pusoy, N. P. Dodge, T. J. Evaus, John Churchill, Samuel Haas, W. C. James, William Moore, Leonard Everett and George Wright. These gontlemen will go to Chicago, prob- ably next month, when a meeting of the gen- eral managers of all the roads in the country is to be hela. It is hoped that some definite conclusion will be arrived at. The apparent willingness of the railroads to discuss the matter at this late day, how- ever, is viewed with distrust by some oiti- zons who claim to bo able to see farther abead than the ends of their noses. *I don’t know as I can sce just what they are ariving at” said one of them yester- day when informed what action had been taken, “but I shouldn’t ba surprised if they saw the handwriting on the wall and come to the conclusion that it would be better to make a show of yielding to the demands of the citizens rather than run the risk of beiug brought to terms by an act of the legisla- ture.” Hove has been deferred so long that the hearts of the public have becomo somewhat under tho weather, but tho future actions of the roads will be watched with some interest nevertheless, moaey on e Money to loan, Lowest rates. ston & Van Patten, Everett block. —— Walout' block and Wjyoming coal, fresh mined, received daily Thatcher, 16 Main.

Tt was called ostensibly r the purpose of receiving the plans of competing architects for the en- lareement and improvement of the city build- ing, but at least six of the aldermen knew that something else would come up ana ap- parently came well prepared to take care of it. Tue plans submitted by Architect Bell for the city building improvements were exam- inea and discussed and finally approved, aod the clerk instructed to advertise for bids ‘The architects estimate of the cost was about £,000, but the changes suggestod and desired will increase the cost to &,000. When this business was disposed of the council was ready to adjourn, but beforo a motion could bo made to that effect Alder- man Van Brunt iutroduced an ordinance granting to John T. Stewart, president of tho Council Bluffs & Omaha Motor company, the right to erect and muintain an electric light and power plant for a period of twenty- five years and to use such streets and alleys us necessary for tho erection of poles and wires for the distribudon of light and power. The ordinance wus road and a mo- tion followed to advancs it toits second read- ing and its adoption by sections, This croated @ suspicion in the minds of Alder- men Casperand Brown that an attempt was 10 be made to railroad anotherscheme of the motor company’s turough the council, and they opposed it with encrgy. A niotion by Casper to lay it over under tho rules for two waeoks was lost by a vote of 6to2 and the original motion to read and adopt it by sec- tions was carvied by tho same vote. All the other uldermen were anparently satisfied but Aldermen Casper and Brown could not free theiv minds of the suspicion that 1t was a new lease or an_iucreaso of power of the motor company. Tho title of the charter was scrutinized closely but there was nothing discovereda to confirm the sus- picion. It was simpiy unamed ‘“an orainance granting to John I, Stew. art, his successors and assigns, the right o manufacture and sell electrical machinery and appliauces and to erect, oparate and maintain electrical plants and works in the city of Council Biuffs to furnish light, heat and power therefrom.” The sections were read and adopted with some amendments, Casper amending section 1 by denying the right of Stewart to stretch, hang or suspend acy wires or other conductors lengthwise or across the center of any street. ‘The prices to be charged for incandescent ligcts were fixed as follows: For a sixteen- candle power light butning from 6 until 10 o'clock, 70 cents per month; from 6 until midnight, 85 cents night lamps of the same power, §1 “Tha prices at which the power is to be furnished were scheduled as follows: One-quarter horse power, running continuously ten hours a day, $4 ver nionth; ono-half horse power, $6 per month horsepower, $10 per month: two horsepov $1%; three horsepower, £221 four horsepower, £2: six horsepower, $0 per month, and larger motors_at, provortionate cost, Alder- man Smith offered as an amendmoent to this section that the company be required to fur. nish ten sixteen candlépower lights for use in the city building free of charge during the life of the charter, and the amendment was adopted. Alter the adoption of the sections Alder- man Wiad asked for the suspansion of the rules and the tinal passage of the charter. Both Casper and Brown again warmly op posed 1t and wanted it laid over or referred to the city attorney for examination, Casper explaining that while iv might be all right he could not free his mind of the suspicion that it was not which had been excited by the unusual haste. The vote on the final passage showed only tha two dissenting aldermen opposing it aud it was carried by a majority sufficient to pass it over the mayor's veto.

Their dogs drove the lions undera ledge of rock and kept them there while the hunters dug down into the cave from above. When they had an opening to where the lions were a rifle was pushed through. The muzzle was gripped sav- agely in the jaws of one of the lions and the gun wus discharged. The other two lions grabbed the rifle in tura as it was withdrawn and poked in again, and each was killed by bullets through the head. um ¢ Vermont has become famous for her spruce gum, the gathering and selling of which have grown to be more than un infant industry.

Grippe, in Itselt, 1s bad enough, debilitating enough, Lutit is the after efects, the slowness of recovery that give It its great danger. In most cases, the person did not have sufficient vitality to rally after the disense itself had passed. The forces of nature were too wenk to contend with the debility which the Grippe had left. It s snd to think how many people have dled who might hiave been saved it nature had been properly assisted and fortified after the Grippe had been driven from the system physicians realized this fact, and ase slsted thelr patients over the dangarous after effects by bracing up and stimulatine thelr systems. This was. and can be done in but one way, and that s by the steady and n od- crate use of some purc yet powerful stimu- lant.
