COUNCIL BLUFFS, Sept. 1, .—To itor of The Bee: In view of the gross atements currently made as to the cost of producing electric light in this city, It cannol be improper to gve accurate data upon that subject, The report of experts as to cost of establishing a plant as good as the one now being operated, as,fixed by those experts, s a little more than $58,000. This includes every item, excepting only the land upon which the building is to stand, and estimates the cost of the building to be erected at $5.000. At present figures this- estimate of $5,000 is at least $1,500 too high, and the building cccupied by the present company is probably not worth haif of $5,000. The experts assume that every dollar would be borrowed and included in the estimatc of expenses, the interest upon the money in- vested, the cost of repairs, the proper per- centage to be allowed for depreciation in plant, the amount to be paid for insurance and all other items entering into cost of produc tion, save only for clerk hire, with respeet to collections. Ncw, as figured by them, the cost of pro- duction, including piyment of interest upon money invested, would be a few cents over $81 per light. The price being paid per light 189 by the city this year is $92. The private consumer is charged $150 per light. The company proposes to charge next vear $90 per light and $2 less each year for the en- suing four years. That is to say, according 10 these figures the city pays, over snd above all expenses and the interest upon the investment, nearly $11 per lamp per annum to the gentlemen who own the stick of the corporation. Without suggesting that such compensation over and above every expense and interest upon their investment is excessive, it Is very clear that the busi- ness can hardly be &n unprofitable one to them, and it w-uld seem to be quite as clear that if & private corporation can, after pay- ng all expenses and interest upcn the in- vestment and laying aside an adequate sum annually to meet the cost of depreciation, net a profit of over §1,3(0 per year on the city business alone, ownership of the light plant by the city would not be a bad thing for the city treasury. But there §s a more serious objection yet to making the propesed contract for five years. The Council Bluffs Gas and Electric Light company was voted the franchise un- der which it has been operated in Ociob:r, 1889. This the city council did. It was never confirmed by the prople at any elec- tion; but on the 12th day of April, 1558, a statute went into effect forbidding from that day the grant of any franchis® by any municipality of lowa unless same was ap- proved at an electin, general or special, at which the franchise was submitted to the voters for confirmation or refection, and in litigation arising out of an attempt by a clty to grant a franchise 10 an electric light ccmpany without submission to popular vite, our supreme court he!d that no franchise had been issued, and because there f no con- tract for public lighting could be made with such company. Accordingly, (n that case, at the suit of a taxpayer, the contract made was adjudged invalid and the city officials were enjoined from making any payments under it. The reason is clear, without a franchise the electric light company was a trespasser upon the stréets and it is prep-sterous to say that city officials can tax people to pay a wrongdoer for performance of that which he has no right at all to do. If it is a good thing to.make a five-year contract with the present c mpany, why not submit that matter to a vote of the people, who will make investigation and for themselves determine whether the proposi- tion should be accepted or rejected? It this company 1s giving satisfaction to the people they will readily confirm its franchise at the November election. If fts n- duct has been such that the people wiuld not be willing to grant it a franchise at all, what excuse can he offered for giving such a company the entire patronage of this oity for the next five y Again, If the city cannot legally make this contract, payment under the contract would be without authority «f law, Is it not then muc wiser for our officials to refer this matter to the people for determination, rather than by ex:cuting this contract making themselves personally liable to refund to | the city treasury the amounts that may be unlawtully by them paid under it?

B e BRAVE AND CUNNING, TOO. How the Mink Steals Fish and Game from Sportsmen Down Enst. Probably the most cunning of all snimals is the mink, Its propensity for stealing is marvelous, and the methods of stealing and hiding the proceeds of its robberies are unique in the history of the lower species, We do not refer here to the depredations of the mink amcng poultry, for they resort to henneries only when the waters are frozen or a supply of fish is unobtainable, says the Lewiston Jeurnal. Two gentlemen were fishing on one of the rivers of Maine. The fish were quite plenty, and as soon as one was caught it was thrown behind on the grass. After some time one of the gentle- men thought he would take a rest and at the same time examine his capture. But he could not find a single fish. He charged his friend with having played him a trick, but the friend was as much surprised as he. They now determined to watch their next fish, and their astonishment was unbounded when they saw a mink run from a hole near by, snatch up a fish and carry it off to the hole, where they afterwards found their entire cipture cunningly hidden under some dead leaves. In the same manner the mink steals game which sportsmen shoot. On one occasion a gentleman_ shot a wild duck, but before the dogs could get to It a mink had stolen It, carried it off to a hole in the frozen snow, which one mink had prepared while the other & for the opportunity to steal the sportsman’'s game. Notwithstanding th's ular characteristic the mink Is a brave as well as feroclous little fellow, and he is excelled in these qualities only by the ermine. He seems to have a peculiar aver- son for the muskrat, and aithough the muskrat is generally more than double his size the mink attacks him fesrlessly, and always wins the battle, after which he drags his dead ememy to some hiding place, as In the cases .{ the fish and wild duck. Taey ere found in almost every state of ths uni-n but most frequently in° Maine and in the states bordering the great lakes. Mink skins are sold in great numbers by Maine trappers, RAISING WESTERY RATES Freight from Ohicago 'to Western Coast Must Pay Higher Tolls, PACIFIC LINES AGREE TO AN ADVANCE Only North Pacific Const Term by the Unic to I Aftected Pacific's Determing case Earnings—Doings Awmong the Rallronds. For two years or more rates to North Pacific coast points have been gradually golng down, to the everlasting disgust of the Union Pacific and an occasional expres- sion of regret from the Northern Pacific and Great Northern, A new condition of affairs will, however, obtain September 17, when the class rates to the North Pacific coast points will be advanced. The Union Pacifie, having made up its mind that there could be an advance made over San Francisco rates, Trafle Manager Munroe decided to attempt incte: an se, although at first con- ditions secmed such as to defeat his pur- pose from the very beginning. But Mr Munroe kept pegging away on the idea of an advance until the Northern Pacific and Great Nerthern finally agreed to the lining up of the new rates. Now all the transcontinental come into the fold d the rat operative Monday, September 17. The rate to San Francisco on class freight remains the same, $2.40 per hundred, but the rate to Spokane, Walla Walla and other North I cific coast terminals will, on the day above mentioned, be increased. The rates from Chicago to on the North Pacific coast lows: lines have will become the terminals will be as fol- R O 3 R S N - O 235 | 215 | 180 | 170 | 1 1173 | 107 From Mississippl river:| TR R R B e 1 235 | 215 om the hange. | To Spokane and common points from Chi- cago and Peoria the rates will b 180 | 165 | 167 Missouri | 117% | 107% river there will be VT AT B|C|D 242 | 216 | 18 07| 98| 9 From the 1008 17e A|lBlC|D 242 | 216 | 195 | 160 | 145 | 147 | 107 | 98 | 90 From the Missouri river: PO BT TR TR SOV 6 e L o) 210 | 185 | 175 | 153 | 140 | 140 | 96 | 88 | & To Walla Walla and com Chicago and Peoria: 2 |&[8|A|B,C|D on points from 2 180 | 162 | 167 | 117 | 107 | 106 From the Mississippl river: 112 18|4|6|A|B|JC|D 265 | 236 | 215 | 180 | 162 | 167 | 117 | 107 | 100 From the Missouri river U B AT SR LR S MG T 233 | 204 | 195 | 170 06| 97| 90 To Montana common points from Chicago the change will be as follows: 12|84 |69ALB)C|D 242 | 213 | 195 | 163 | 140 | 135 105 | 04 | 84 From the Mississippi river:| HaE 4185 A B O D 242 | 208 | 192 | 160 | 140 | 134 [ 104 | 04| 3. There will be no change from the Missouri river on this basis, There will also be a slight advance, aver- aging about 7% cents, on some of the low rate iron commodities, but the tariffs have not yet been promulgated. The old rate on terminal' class rates, as shown by the tariff, is as follows, from Mississippl _river common points, Winona, Minn., to New Orleans inclusive, Chicago, Milwaukee and common pojnts: STl TR ST o 5 0 R o T8 240 200 | 170 | 165 | 160 | 110 | 100 | 100 This increase in rates ig in no wise at- tributable to the meeting of transcontinental agents in Chicago the past week, having been in contemplation for a long time prev ous to the call for a transcontinental meet- ing. The rates, according to the Union Pa- cific people, have been toa low, and they are now seeking to Incrzase them, although the San Francisco rates remain unaffected by the change. RAILROAD ARNINGS FOR JULY. St. Paul, Wabash and Blg Four Suffered the Most from the Strike. NEW YORK, Sept. 2.—Enough July rail- road statements are at hand to obtain a Just idea of the Chicago strike's influence on net earnings. There is a remarkable diversity in the results. THe St. Paul, the Big Four and the Wabash have suffered heavily. Each of these three companies shows for July by far the largest net decrease of the year. In each the percentage of operating expenses to gross earnings breaks this year's record, the percentage for the two roads first mentioned running to 10 per cent above the average. On the other hand, the net decrease on the Burlington and the Pennsylvania is the smallest since the exceptional economies of March, and their operating percentage Is well below this vear's average. Still more re markable, the Louisville, the Chesapeake & Ohio and the Erie make actual net gains over 1893, Part of this singular discrepancy is doubtless due to the irragular distribution of World's fair traffic and expenses in July last year. Yet the figures show that the state- ments referred to diverge similarly from one another, when compared with those of 1892. Allowing for all the difference in ca- pacity for working economies, the fact is plain_that the St. Paul, the Wabash and the Big Four suffered out of all proportion to their fellow corporations from the railway insurrection. It would be of peculiar interest to learn the actual results with the Rock Island. But this company follows the worst practice imaginable in its reports of earnings. and absolutely no trustworthy information is obtainable.

BETHLEHEM, la., Sept. 2.—(Special to The Bee)—The death of Miss Minnie Powell yesterday morning ended a life that had been blighted by the false love of a professional evangelist. About a year ago a traveling preacher named Folden came to this little place and started the work of saving sin- ners. He was very successful, and soon had the confidence of all. He made his home while here with Alexander Powell a prosperous farmer. As a result Minnie Powell, the farmer's 18-year-old daughter, gave birth to a child at the home of her sister-in-law about three weeks ago, and commenced legal proceedings against Folden, who had been married since accomplishing Miss Powell's ruin. A deputy sherift went down to Waubunsie, where Folden lives, and levied on the preacher's property, to be used in providing support for his illegiti- mate child. Much feeling exists in the com- munity against Folden, ‘Webster City Cltize WEBSTER CITY, Ia, Sept. 2.—(Special Telegram to The Bee)—James Coulson, for twenty years a resident of this county and administrator of three of the largest tates in the county during his residence, placed the butt of a rifle on the floor this morning, and, with his foot, pulled the trigger, killing himself instantly, He was one of the best known and most highly re- spected citizens of the county.

Singular Manner In Which Some B Grown and Others Waned, The growth of posthumous reputation is one of the curiosities of history. At first glance there seems no good reeson why one of two reputations equally brilliant during the lifetime of their possessors should die any quicker than the other; but it is often seen that ong man, In every way quite as prominent as his fellow in the same line, is remembered, while the other is comple'ely forgotten. A striking illustration of this fact, says the Globe-Democrat, may perhaps be ob- served in the case of Blaine and Conkling. The former during his life was by far the more prominent of the two. A man of win- ning presence, of great personal attractive- ness, who made his way among men as he chose, who was everywhere welcome and by every one well thought of—a man who held various high offices in the gift of his govern- ment and more than once was a candidate for the highest position in the land; the other & man of marked politigal abilities, an orator of great power, & scholar of the first rank, yet reserved in his manner, haughty to a fault, and who never attained higher pla than the honorable position of senator from New York, and yet of these two Conkling seems at present likely to be remembered longer than Blaine. His posthumous repu‘a- tion Is waxing, that of Blaine s waning The contrary might have been expected Nine people out of ten, had they been asked the question which would live the longer in history, after both had been laid bencath the sod, would have answered, Blaine, as & mat- ter of course. But the sarcasm of fate seems aisposed to disappaint the poular expectation. That man must be very prominent indeed who is talked about six months after he is dead, but at present Conkling is more a subject of public discourse than his great rival from Maine, A similar fate has atteuded many of the great figures of the civil war. While the flict was actually going on there were many men who seemed to catch the public eye to such an extent as to eclipse most of their contempor, and the supposition that some of these reputations at least would pre-emi- e NATURAL AS NATURE dmes a Ereat deal prettier. »r of hair you most admire, wpoiled by And son have the own s gray, jurious dyes, uee IMPERIAL HAIR RECENERATOR. 1t is hair tonle and coloring of perfect cleanil- ness, which comes in several shades.
