The plat prepared by City Engineer It- nyre showed that the cost of pavicg Gra- ham avenue, based on Des Moines brick top course, and Council Bluffs brick bot- tom course, would exceed $1,870.06 above what the assessed valuation showed could bo levied agalnst the abutting property. The engineer’'s report gave twelve pleces of property that would not stand the as- sestment, while the city would have to pay the excess, and J. P. Greenshields, a real estate dealer, was asked for his opluion as to property values on the street, and he showed that one lot which was as- sessed at $240 he had sold within the two weeks for $1,600 spot cash; another lot assessed at $130 he had recently sold for 800 cash. There are three small triangular pleces of land on this avenue, the title to which is in the city, and it being understood that the owners of the property in the rear of these pieces were willing to pay for the paving in front of them, provided the eity would deed to them these triangular pleces, the mayor was lnstructed to sign quit claim deeds to the property in ques- tion. The report of the city engineer on the other streets showed the following amounts in excess of cost of paving over assessed valuation of abutting property: Broad- way, $1,057; Park avenue, Glen avenue and High school avenue, 31,444, and $2,242 to be paid by school district; Harrison street, $3,000, approximate; Bluft strect, $1,450; Fourth street, $1,000, In many instances it was shown that the market value of property on the streets ordered paved is ten times greater than the assessed value. This being the case the council decided it was safe in ordering the paving. Phillp Dodge addressed the council on be- half of interested property owners on Fourth street, Bluff street, Willow avenue, Fifth avenue and Story street and urged that all the bids be rejected ahd the city advertise for new bids for paving these streets. He gave as his reasons that the bids were con- sidered too high and property owners af- fected were afrald the work could not be completed this year. Mr. Dodge sald that the people he appeared for desired, it the paving was to be done this year, that Gales- burg brick on a concrete base be used. A resolution was adopted granting the latter part of the request made by Mr. Dodge. At the request of property owners on Ha rison street it was decided to pave this thoroughfare with Council Bluffs brick, top and bottom covers. Statements made by residents on this strect were to the effect that the bulk of the abutting property was well able to bear the cost of the paving contemplated. Deputy Clerk Sayles Res E. E. Sayles tendered his resignation as deputy city clerk, which was accepted. Harry M. Brown, at present district court balliff, was appoiuted to fill the vacancy, the appointment to take effect September 1. Julius Johnson, custodian of the city building, presented a certificate from In- spector J. C. Bixby as to his qualifications for operating a steam heating plant. A walver by the Illinols Central Railway company of all objections to the assessment for paving Broadway between Twelfth street and Indlan creek bridge, which it might make hy reason of the cost of the paving exceeding 25 per cent of the value of the abutting property, was accepted, placed on file and ordered made part of the records, After the paving matter had been dis- posed of the street commissioner contro versy was taken up. Alderman Huber, chairman of the streets and alleys commit- tee, filed a fresh batch of charges against John M. Harden, who, under the ordinance creating his office, will have five days in which to file his answer. Commonwealth 10-cent cigar. Superior Court Jury.

SIOUX CITY, Ia., Aug. 2L—(Speclal T egram.)—In an interview here today Sen- ator Pettigrew of South Dakota, en route to Chicago, declared that every effort is to be made in his state to carry it for Bryan, “I would certainly prefer,” he de- clared, “that my own campalgn for United States senator should fall rather thanm to see South Dakota's electoral vote go for McKinley, We are fighting for the lssues at stake and not for personal preferment.” Pettigrew is being made the special ob- ject of a bitter fight in South Dakota, but he professed mot to be worrled about it. “I know there is a special fight on me," he sald, “but money will cut no figure except that it will enable the opposition to get its vote out on election day.

It is also taken to mean (hat Stone has cone fessed to the offense.

First, the assessment and taxation of the express companies’ property Iu this state according to the Cheshire law; second, the prosecu- tion of Clerk of the Supreme Court Jones to recover fees which he clalms are his own and which the state will claim belong to it.

It is: The last week was unusual wet. The dally excess in_temperature ranged from 3 to & degrees. From th h to 17th inclusive it was showery in nearly all parts of the state and excessive amounts of rainfall are reported from nu- merous stations in the central and south- hot and ern sections. In many localities the showers were accompinied by severe squalls, causing some damage to wind- mills, light buildings, stacks of grain, etc., and heavy corn suffered some injury by belng tankled and lodged. Rut the dam- age has been light in comparison with the vast amount of benefit resulting from the abundant molsture. Thrashing has been delayed, but a kood beginning has been made in fall plowing, with soil in excellent condition, and this 1s likely to result in an increased acreage of winter wheat in the southern section. The apple crop has suffered heavily from the effects of wind- storms, especially in sections where com- mercial orchards are most _extensive Abundant fall pasturage is now well as sured. The meadows will produee a lib- eral outting of «#ftermath and there 4s a 0od outlook fex.a fine crop of cloverseed. otatoes are doing. well. The corn crop still promises more than an average out- put for the state. A protracted spell of dry weather is now needed to mature the crop in its best condition.

At the last meeting of the Young Men's Republican club a committee composed of W. B. Vansant, B. B. Wilcox and W. P. Adkine was appointed to take hold of tho matter and arrange the pre- liminaries of the organization. While this committee has not met formally several con- ferences have been held and arrangements will soon be made for the opening of mem- bership rolls. From indications {t {s figured that there will be no trouble in securing at the very lowest 160 members who will provide their own horses and it is hoped that four squad- rons of fifty men each may be organized. No thought has been given as yet to the military formation, that is, as far as oficers are concerned, the intention belng to in- duce each squadron to select its own officers and the whole to choose a commander. Everyone knows about the applause given to the Stock Yards Equestrian club when pa- rades were given in Omaha, and the forma- tlon of a Rough Riders' club here will be along the same lines as the old equestrian club. With proper uniforms it is thought the battalion of cavalry will form a strik- ing feature of not only the political demon- strations in the Magic City, but in Omaha as well. While the organization of the rid- ing club Is vested In a committee all mem- bers of the Young Men's Republican club are showing a great deal of interest and are assisting the members of the committee in every possible manner.

There Is another democratic club in the Magic city whose president Is Dr. W. S. White, and he and his followers are naturally jealous of the advantages gained by the McCrann agher club.
