City Engineer Etnyre has completed hls report on the Graham avenue sewer aud the curbing that has been done durlug the summer and will submit it at the meeting | of the city council next Mouday night. The contract for the Graham avenue sewer was awarded three years hgo, when the one on South First street was put in, but the work was postponed on Graham avenue until such time as the street would be repaved. The contract for paving Graham avenue with brick has been let to Wick- but work on it will not be com- menced this year. The sewer as now completed on Graham avenue gives an elght-inch pipe at a cost of 60.06 cents per foot of pipe, or divided between the two sides of the street a price of 25.03 cents per foot frontage. In addition to this the property owners on Graham avenue are to pay a part of the | cost of the First strect sewer, It all being | Beginoing at Plerce street the | one system. pipe on Eouth First street fs twelve-inch and higher up is reduced to ten-inch, which runs to Graham avenue and connecis with the eight-inch pipe just lald. When the lower part of the sewer was put in the | eity engineer averaged the cost of all the sizes of pipe and made the average price of 03 cents per foot. This left a balance overdue the contractor for the construction of the lower part of $137.03, which s now added to the cost of the Graham avenue sewer. The total cost of the Graham ave- nue sewers amounts to $613.42 The curbing contract was handled by OI- son & Nelson and the cost of the work less the engincering, advertising and other incidental expenses was as follows: Sixth street, from Thirteenth to Sixteenth avenue, 1,169 feet, $75.19; Tenth avenue, from Fourth' to High 'street. 1,019.73 fe 265.13; Tenth avenue, from Main to SIxth strect. 2,592 feet, §75.1 rison street, from Hali to Benton street extension, 1717.60 feet, $445.28; Fifth avenue. from BIuff to Thir; street, 2627 feot, $68.30; Broadway, fron welfth street to Indlan creek bridge, 4 feet, $i83.54.

Weatherbee, the Broadway liveryman, last Saturday when arrested as a sus- picious character, have been claimed by C. Boulwark, a liveryman of Red Oak. Boul- wark and Sheriff Thomas of Montgomery county camo to Council Bluffs last even- |ing and will take the property back with them today. The strangers hired the out- fit from Boulwark last Friday. Detective Welr and Sherift Thomas went to Omaha last night on a hunt for the stranger, but failed to find him, When hiring the outfit the stranger gave the name of ©dward Allen, the same name he gave under pledge of secrecy to De tective Welr. Te Toulwark he claimed to be a nephew of .las Jones, a well known and wealthy farmer living near Red Oak. When Allen falled to return the rig Boul- wark became suspiclous and on making inquiries learned that he was no Lephew of Jones. When Detective Welr took the stranger to Omaha the latter said he had ‘resided there in March and April of 1899 in the home of o famlly named Henderson at 208 North Eighteenth street. This Weir found to be correct and that the man had gone there under the same name of Bdward Allen and had passed himself off as a po office Inspector. Inquiry at the postoffic showed that he had never been employed in that capacity by the goverument. People who knew Allen when he was {n Omaha told Detective Welr that the man had been a free money spender and was considered quite a “lady's man,” also that he moved in good soclety. Allen took Detective Welr to the Com- mercial National bank, where 1t was learned that he had a small account in March, 1899. This was all that Welir was able to find out about the man in Omaha. and on bringing him back to this city and acquainting Judge Aylesworth of what ho had learned tho latter ordered his relesse.

Tredway and Eugene Lutz attorneys of Sioux City, have filed original | notices of injunction suits they will bring | against the county of Woodbury and the city of Sioux City to restrain them from llecting license money from any saloon Martin layw. Tredway and Lutz have been quite indus- trious in bringing injunction suits against saloons around town, fillng papers against two more saloons today, but this is their first effort to interfere with the city and the county in recelving the saloon revenue. hard things have been sald about Lutz and Tredway and the community seemns to feel much incensed toward them, but no one scems willing to take the first step to diseourage them from a continuance of the work they have been doing. They are not working in the interests of prohibition. Determined to Keep F SIOUX CITY, la., Nov. 22.—(8pecal.)—If the International Packing company should | decide to close down its Sioux City plant, it is not unlikely that a larger concern would immediately step in and take charge of the plant. At any rate, Sfoux City busi- ness men are not worrying over the whis- pered report that the International might shut down. Colonel I. C. Elston, president of the Sioux City Stock Yards company, sald just before he left for Chicago to confer with the officers of the International company: “It doesn’t make any difference what the decislon of the International may be, the plant will continue to run. It fs too valuable an fustitution to be allowed to remain idle. One trouble with the Inter- national has been that it did not have the markets. It costs lots of money to estab- lish depots all over the country, and there must be distributing points If the product is to be sold.” nt Going.

WILL OF VOTERS State Treasurer Herriott Expects to Turn Over His Office Promptly. TECHNICALITIES WILL CUT NO FIGURE Successor Was Chosen in Good Faith and He Does Not Propose to Give Any Trouble in Changing. DES MOINES, Nov. 22.—(Special Tele- gram.)—State Treasurer Herriott put a stop today to all gossip about his holding uver another year on account of the al- leged defect in the constitutional amend- ment just'adopted. Mr. Herriott has been regarded as the state officer most likely to be affected seriously by the contro- versy, as e is under $00,000 bonds and would not feel like quitting office until as- sured that his bondsmen would be released. There have been rumors that Herriott fn- tended to hold on until the courts decide the matter and that he would make some move to have a test made. He de- clares that he will not make an attempt to hold oflice after the first week In Janu- ary and that on January 7 he will turn the office over to Mr. Gilbertson. “It,” he sald, “by that time the effect of the amend- ment upon official terms has not been de- cided by the supreme court, I shall as a protection to myself and bondsmen form- ally resign my office, as I cannot in view of the grave doubt generally entertained respecting the effect of the amendment, step out in the ordinary way. Further, it in the meantime the supreme court should determine thut the amendment extends my term of office, I nevertheless expect to resign In favor of the treasurer-elect. The people in good faith elected Mr. Gllbert- son to succeed me and the present incum- bent has no purpose or desire to utilize a technical Fight to thwart their will.” Remley Will Take No Action. The attorney general has been asked to bring a test suit before the supreme court, but he says he will take no action. Sev- eral suits will be brought by county officers | and the court will get a chance to pass on the case at an early date In federal court today the Injunction case involving the Tri-City Labor congress at Davenport came to and end. Judge Me- Pherson had been severely censured for having issued a restraining order against the labor congress on behalf of Silberstein Bros. to break up a strike. Today the attorneys announced that an agreement had been reached to submit the matter to arbitration and the effort to have the re- straining order declared to be irregular was droppea. The United States weather observer to- days recelved orders to telegraph post- masters in the Seventh and Sixth congres- slonal districts weather forecasts, to be seut out on all the rural mall routes re- cently established. This will put dally weather forecasts into 20,000 families along the routes established this month in cen- tral Towa.
