Davis sclls hlmluockll NEWS FROM COUNCIL BLUFES | City Council Disposes of Much Routine Business at an Informal Meeting, WORK DONE IN COMMITTEE OF THE WHILE Subject of Riquiring Wagons Engaged in Streot Trafc to Have Wide Tires Discussed at Length. When the was discovered city council met last evening it that the call by which it was convened was not in accordance with the rules, as it falled to state the purposes for which the special meeting was called. The council adjourned at once and met as a committee of the whole, Among the ques- tions discussed was the repairs upon No. 3 house. Alderman Grahl thought the building was safe, and on motion considera- tion of the subject was deferred e alley in the rear of Groneweg & Schoentgen’s wholesale house was ordered repaired by the street commissioner. The question of buying additional for the fire department was discussed. The committee recommended that three new horses be purchased and two of the old ones 1 of. Alderman Brewick moved that es to be disposed of be those worked n the patrol wagon. Alderman Shubert’s ordinance - requiring wide tired for street traffic brought up. Some of the aldermen wanted the ordinance confined to the heavy wagons plying between carrying or eight tons, but the majority wanted it to apply with proper restrictions to all traffic vehicles. It was referred finally to a committee of three to be appointed by the mayor, and the clerk was instructed to cor- respond with other cities and ascertain the regulations in vogue. The mayor appointed Shubert, Greenshields and Grahl The remainder of the evening was passéd in an informal discussion of the problem presented by the condition of the Lower Broadway paving. The street commisisoner was ordered to cease covering the blocks with dirt, The question of the gravel pits on the city property was introduced again, with the varlation that a rocky ledge re- cently discovered jutting out of a bank on the city near Big lake be investi- gated. The street commissioner was in- tructed to make Investigations as to the quality of the stone and ascertain if it was suitable for macadam and report to the coun- cil. Various schemes were discussed for repair- ing the street, such as repaving a track in the center, covering the blocks with cinders and filling up the holes with sand and gravel The tearing up of a strip in the center was passed when the fact was announced that such a course would relieve the owners from all further obligations in tl way of unpaid tax. So likewise was the cin- der suggestion when it was shown that the entire town could not produce enough in two years to cover the surface, Aldermen Shu- bert and Brewick brought the discussion to a practical point by declaring emphatically that such repairize and all that had been done so far was a useless waste of money that the cost already incurred would have repaved in a permanent manner several blocks, and they favored only such methods as would give permanent and substantial streets. After some further discussion the council adjourned.

Har- and ln Strael Reeve, the little 5-year-old son of Fred M. Loomis, was seriously hurt in a runaway vesterday forenoon in front of his home on Washington avenue near Oakland, He had started out with his younger brother to go to the home of relatives on Oakland avenue. Just as they reached the street, walking hand in hand, a team belonging to a gardener named Kempster dashed around the corner, with the harness and a few scraps of a wagon hanging to them. In his excitement Reeve dropped the hand of his little brother, for- tunately, and the team ran between them. One of the horse's fore hoofs struck him in the forehead, cutting a bad gash, but the swaller boy escaped injury entirely. Sev- eral stitches Lad to be taken in the wound inflicted, but he luckily escaped a fractured skull, and it is not thought there will be any more serious results.

Lacey of this city was appointed grand commander of the Knight Templar at their encampment, which has been in progress at Spirit Lake for more than a week past. The hoice will meet with great favor among the knights of this part of the state, for no one has been more enthusiastic In his work for the order than Dr. Lacey. He has held many prominent offices in the gift of the local Masons. The fact that he was chosen this year is especial cause for congratulation, for this is the year of the triennial conclave, and there will be a great gathering at Bos- ton. Dr. Lacey will represent the state of Towa as grand commander on this trip, and in so doing will undoubtedly reflect as great credit upon the state and the Iowa Knights, as upon himself.

General Dodge of Council Bluffs, president of the Army of the Tennessee, has issued his call for the twenty-seventh annual re- union, to be held in Cincinnati, September One-third off | 16 and 17. The annual address will be Colonel Fred D. Grant. At the close of the reunion the society has an excursion to Chat- tanooga.

The last reunion was held in Council Bluffs last year. Back from the Conventinn. The delegates to the republican state con- vention, with the big crowd that went down to the capital city to lobby for Drake and Harlan. returned yesterday with colors flying. When the convention was first over, the Har- lan men were somewhat inclined to feel blue, but a good supper put them in the right sort of epirits, and by the time they were ready to leave Des Moines the had vowed alle- | giance to the republican standard bearer. The | Pottawattamie contingent stuck by Harlan, ac- cording to their instructions, through thick and thin, for five ballots. By that time it |hat become a deal certainty that Drake would be the man, for he had been gaining at the rate of from fifty to 100 on every bal. lot. The question of flopping to Drake was accordingly brought up, and by a vote of 14 to 13 it w decided that the Pottawattamie vote should go to Drake. By the time the reading secretary had reached the ‘Ps” Drake had already enough votes to insure his election, and Pottawattamie’s climbing into the bani wagon cut no figure. Some of the Drake men were telling with a good deal of glee how they worked J. J. Steadman and tied his handg so as to prevent him from doing any of the fine political work for which he has made himself so famous. Steadman, as is well known, has claimed to be a leading soMier, but he worked for Harlan and against Drake, the “soldier candi- late.”” Treyner, Lindt, and some more of the outsiders who we working for Drake, sent one old soldier after another to demand why it was that Steadman forsook the old flag and worked for a man who had never been in the war. This went on until ne y one of the 400 soldiers who were oc- cupying seats as delegates had been to him. By that time the day was far spent, and Steadman’s fine Italian hand was crippled until the next day, when it was too late to do anything. Paal Says It's o Freezo Out, John W. Paul of the Union Land and Im- provement company, who has been in Chicago for several months past waiting for his plans to be consummated, sent a telegram to The Beo yesterday reading as follows: *Council Bluffs will have the big stock years aund packing houses in face of Omaha's atiemptel freeze ou The telegram was Paul's late attorney, interviewed, further shown Finley Burke, but ne declined to be than to say he had no knowledge of what Paul's plans were. He said, however, that no one in town would jump any higher than he if the telegram turned out to be a true one. Similar statements to the one contained in the above telegrams have been given out re- peatedly by Paul, and that is one thing that makes the public doubtful just now. George J. Paul, a brother of John W., and secretary of the improvement company, is quoted as saying that it's an oleomargerine factory, and that it's sweetness will be wafted on the desert air in very short order now. He ad- mits that this was said months before, but insists this time it is a sure go. Yesterday afternoon another attachment was sued out by the Harrison National bank of Cadiz, 0., against John W. Paul, George and’ Charles K. Collins, for $1,173 obtained a judgment in Omaha Ma but it has not yet been settled, and they put their attachment along with the rest. It has always been understood that some one in the Omaha Sweltling works has been putting up a good deal of the stuff with which Paul did his speculating, and that somebody was supposed to be Guy C. Barton. But If Barton has any claims against Paul he has not yet made them public, with the ex- ception of a small one, which was included in the suit brought by E. W. Nash, Barton's partner. Want n olution. Howard K. Clover, James Grady and John P. Jackson are the members of a company that was organized a few months ago for the manufacture of gas engines in Councit Bluffs. Although they have been in bus ness only a trifie over three months, troubles have arfsen, and now Clover and Grady have made application to the district court to have the partnership dissolved. They were to put in all their time and experience in doiug the manual part of the business, Jack- son, who is a locomotive engineer on the Northwestern railway, living at Boone, was to put in money as often as it might be needed to buy materials, pay the plaintiff's expenses, and carry on the work of manu- fucturing generally. When the income ex- ceeded the expenses Grady was to receive back the amount he had’ actually put in. The company rented shop room from O. W. Graham on S-cond avenue and Thirteenth street, and there is now due more than $600 for unpaid rent. Grady, the plaintiffs say has never put a cent into the concern, and has not done any work, while the plaintiffs have done all th» work and advanced, be- tween them, about $80. Liabilit to the amount of $2,353.23 have been accumulated and they want the court to dissolve the partnership and compel Grady to agree to an accounting. Larson—Hardin William Larson and Miss Elizabeth Hardin were married last evening at the residence of the bride’s mother, at the corner of Fifth avenue and Ninth street. The ceres mony was performed by Rev. G. W. Snyder of the English Lutheran church, in the pres- ence of a few relatives.

So far from the Indians having lost title to the quarries their rights have never been stronger than and unless some action in the matter taken within a month by the United States | governmen! It is probable the title will be- come absolute. The last Indian and appropriation bill passed by congress | contains the following clause bearing upon the | subject: “If the it the interior | shall not, within one year after the ratifica- tion of this agreement by congress, refer the question of ownership of the said Pipestone | reservation to the supreme court, as pro vided for above, such failure on his part shall be construed as, and shall be, a waiver by the United States of all rights to the ownership of said Pipestone reservation, and the same shall thereafter be solely the prop- erty of the Yankton tribe of the Sioux In- including the fee to the land." The bill provided no machinery by which the matter could be brought before the su- | preme court. A suit cannot ordinarily be instituted there, and If begun in a lower | court will take much more than one year to reach the supreme court. An attempt was made to add an amendment to the bill rem- edying this defect, but congress failed to take action in the matter. Later the attor- ney general decided that the government was powerless to act under the bill. The agree: ment having been ratified by congress and the Indians not being responsible for the failure to provide means of action, it is considered that the title will vest in them absolutely on August 15. If a suit were begun in a lower court before that time it might possibly be held to keep alive the government's claim, if it did not reach the supreme court within the specified year. SR SPREADING IN stone quarries is now is agreement secretary YELLOW FE cuBa Marine ospital lureau Taking Measures to Prevent fts Spread to this Country. WASHINGTON, July 11.—Ad to sirgeon general of the marine hospital se indicate quite an alarming increase in vellow fever in Cuba and other West Indian {slands. The week ending June 29 recorded | twenty-elght deaths in Santlago, while there is an average of five deaths daily at Puerto Principe, city of about 45,000 There are about 100 cases in the military hos pital at San Juan de Puerto Rico, and the Qiscase is rapidly increasing, The report from Santiago sa “The death rate is in creasing at an alarming rate.” The state of affairs is indicated by the r port from Puerto Principe. The military hospital at the latter piace is crowded and | the disease is of the most malignant type. This place is near the center of the island of Cuba, which weuld indicate that the dise se | is virulent and an epidemic, and is making its way toward Havana and the western end of the island. The ngws from San Juan comes as a surprise, as nothing had previously been heard from that port since the 24th of ril, when only one death was reported. San Juan is the capital of the 'island of Puerto Rico, the most eastern of the West Indies, and one of the Spanish possessions. The report from this point is dated June 1 and comes from the United States consul | there. He says that no record of the cases is published, but that he gets his information from reputable physicians. He attributes the new impulse in the disease to the presence there of Spanish troops, and adds: “While the military barracks are never quite free from disease the present condition of things bids fair to produce a serious epidemic of fever, it it has not already reached that stage, during the months of July, August, September and October. There are 300 or more cases in the military hospital, and the disease seems to be increasing, while the mortality is alarming, resching as high as 80 or 90 per cent. His report indicates the presence of fever and also of smallpox in the surrounding coun- try and in the city outside of the hospital In view of these reports Surgecn General Wyman is redoubling his efforts for the pro- tection of the American coast against the in- fection. cos the a persons. SUGGESTED WHIT Colonel Wilson Urges the Erection of Oftice Building for the President. WASHINGTON, July 11.—Colonel John M Wilson of the engineering corps in charge of the white house and other public buildings and parks about Washington, in his annual report recommends that an apropriation of $260,000 be made for the erection within the executive grounds and directly opposite the treasury building, of a granite structure for offices for the chief executive of the nation. “This structure,’ he says, “could be con- nected by a wide corridor with a large con- servatory fitted up as a winter garden, with trooical plants, fountains and statues of em- inent Americans. The conservatory could open into a_picture gallery, connecting by two wide corridors, with the east room, and these improvements would serve a double purpose, by relieving the mansion of the te rible crush incident to the evening official re ceptions. 1 earnestly hope this important matter may no longer be delaved, fid that action may be taken at the approaching se sion of congress toward erecting suitable office buildings for the president of the United States.” ) Reducing Forco in the Navy Yards, WASHINGTON, July 11.—With the excep- tion of the Mare Igland, Cal., navy yard, the forces of employes in the various navy yards will suffer severely from enforced reductions about the 1st of next montn. This will re sult from the completion of the most im portant work on hand and the failure of con- gress to make provision for further con struction. Mare Island will be more lucky for a good deal of work wiJl be done there in rebuilding the historig,0id Hartford, in completing the nitor Menadnock, and in fitting armor wnd guh carrlages to the new ships. There will be''more or less work at all the yards on building wharves and in- ternal improvements, bt/ ag this will be done under contract’ by, private firms the regular navy yard forces will not profit.

He | Fort | 1s used onl; was found guilty of conspiracy and pro- nounced a traitor. The mintmum penalty is imprisonment for life, but the emperof being at liberty to exercise clemency, re duced the term to banishment for ten years.

WASHINGTON, July 11.—Speclal)—An important general order has just been ls- sued from the War department designating a number of army posts as places of con finement for military prisoners and prescrib- ing rules and regulations for the government of the prisoners during their confinement By this order the following posts are ap- pointed as prisons: Fort Crook, Neb., Fort Snelling, Minn., Alcatraz, Cal., Fort Warren Mass,, Fort Columbus, N. Y., Fort Thoma Ky., Fort Monroe, Va,, Fort Sheridan, Iil., Fort Riley, Kan., Fort' Sam Houston, Tex.. Logan, Colo., and Vancouver Barracks, Wash. This action In designating army posts as prisons was necessitated by transfer of the control of the United State military prison at Fort Leavenworth, Kan from the War department to the Department of Jusiice, and as the Leavenworth prison for the confinement of persons convicted of felonies it was imperative that prisons should be providea for the keeping of those prisoners who are guilty of of: fonses of a purely military nature. None of the above named posts, with the exception of that at Aleatraz, Cal., have ever been used as prisons. They ail, however, have had thelr ordinary guard hoses, but finements of long duration have been serv out at these stations. In order to fulfill the requirements of the prisons, as prescribed in the general order just issued 1 buila ings will have to be constructed at the various posts, as none of them have guard houses suitable for the purposes. It was also necessary to prepare rules and regulations for these new prisons, and these have heen published in_ the general order designating the posts. The general plan of the new regulations was taken from the rules and regulations in vogue at Leaven- worth. - EAG!R KUR DOLPH'S PLACE. Vacancy on the Senate Commerce Con tee Considered a Ulum. WASHINGTON, July 11.—~There bids fair to be quite a contest among the republican members of the senate from the Pacific coast states for the position on the committee on commerce which has heretofore been fllied by Senator Dolph of Oregon. It is un’erstood that Senators Perkins of California, McBride of Oregon and Squire of Washiagton would each like to secure the appointment, while Senator Wilson of Washington would accept the position if tendered to him and Senator Mitchell of Oregon might take it with certain conditions. 'The place is considered one of es;ecial importance, as the committee deals with all questicns of commerco which comes before the senate and acts in an advisory ca- | pacity to the appropriations committee in recommending appropriations for river and harbor improvement. Being the ollest senator of the five men- tioned and coming from the same sta‘e that Senator Dolph represented, Senator Mitchell could probably secure the position If disposed to accept it at the sacrifice of some other committee assignments.

WASHINGTON, July 11.—South Amer diplomats in Washington are much interested in the press reports that Bolivia has pre- sented the ultimatum to Peru, which the latter has rejected, and that Bolivia and Ecuador have formed an alliance with the prospect of making war on Peru. Peru's former strength has disappeared since her war with Chili. The Chilians tcok all the Peruvian warships, and it is believed one old transport is all that remains of tie Peruvian navy. The army is said to number about 4,000 men. Bolivia has no navy, and her army is said to be about the same as that of Peru. She is entirely inland sinc the war with Chili, when Chili took pos- session of those provinces which had formed Bolivia's coast line. Ecuador is said to be in good fighting trim, as she has just emerged from a revolution and all her people are in arms. But her navy is insignificant her only good warship having been sold to Japan some months ago. It look: there- fore, to those conversant with the situation that these three crippled countries would not engage in a very formidable war. They can not fight by sea, and there are great stretches of desolate and mowntainous country between them. Chili is in no way interested in the trouble. The last war appears to have tablished her firmly as mistress of the w coast of South America. OF A FIGHT Chinese Paying for Mission Poperty.

Just previous to the crash Jennings' band had begun to play for the Elks and the majority of the people were thus attracted to the upper floor. But for this there would have been great loss of life. A party of New York delegates lingered below but they heard the alarming crackle of tim- bers and escaped to the board walk outside not a second too soon. The great weight of the crowd was the primary cause of the acci- dent, but there is talk of fixing the responsi- bility, as it is generally known that the structure was old and dilapidated.
