LEWIS CUTLER Punersl Bitscter , e s raervcorms FARM LOANS 6ok} RS AR is {VACATE FOR GREAT WESTERN Ordinanes to Burrender Streets Cemes Up Bofore Oity Oouncil PROVISION IN INTERESTS OF PUBLIC Rallway May Object to So of ¢ tions Demanded by Of " that Are Sought. Among important matters slated for ac- tion at the meeting of the city couneil to- night is the ordinance vacating certain streets and avenues in the interest of thé Great Western rallroad. This ordinance 18 of more than ordinary importance to the cltizens of Council Bluffs, as in it will be incorporated the provisions requiring the rallroad to maintain lights end flagmen at grade crossings in the city. These pro- visions were not incorporated in the right- of-way ordinance, at the suggestion of City Sollcitor Wadsworth, who gave it as his opinion that the vacation ordinance, being a contract between the city and the rail- road, was the proper measure in which they should appear. The ordinance, as originally submitted to the aldermen by the railroad, provided for the vacation of those parts of Eighth, Ninth and Tenth streets between the south line of Ninth avenue and the north line of Tenth avenue. The property lying be- tween the south line of Ninth avenue and the north line of Tenth avenue for a dls tance of several blocks has been acquired by the Great Western. Ninth street ls not an open thoroughfare, having about a year ago been closed by the vacation of one block in the interest of the Rock Island rallroad when erecting its new roundhous It is thought that the council will raise no objection to vacating this portion of Ninth street as requested by the Great Western. Tenth street is also mot a thor- oughtare, as it runs into the yards of the Rock Island and has never been opened through them. There will be no opposi- tion, as far as fs known, to vacating the portion of this street as asked by the Great Western. South Eighth Street is Different. South Eighth street, however, presents an entirely different proposition and it is not belleved that the city council will con~ sent to the vacaton of any portion of this street. Eighth street is the only thorough- fare running from the north to the south limits of the city, and it s eaid that the people would never consent to this belng closed between Ninth and Tenth avenues. It fs understood that the Great Western has abandoned all idea of securing the vacation of this street and that mo effort will be made to induce the city council to even consider this proposition tonight. The ordinance to be considered tonight aleo provides for the vacation of Fifteenth and Fourteenth avenues from the west line of Third street to thre east line of the right- of-way of the Wabash Railroad company. As the Great Western has secured all of the abutting property on both sides of these avenues in the blocks ‘named, it is not thought that there will be any opposition to the vacations requested. The purpose of the vacation is to provide a location for the roundhouse, coal chutes and other terminal buildings of the railroad. Extension of Freight Depot. It is sald that the question of granting the Great Western the privilege of extend- ing its freight depot ten feet on Ninth avenue, which was refused at the time of the passage of the right-of-way ordinance, will be brought up again tonight and that there is a possibility of it being granted and incorporated in the vacation ordinance. The Great Western is very anxious to se- cure this concession, as it will enable it to construct two main tracks south of Its treight depot, whereas without this ten feet it would only be able to pet in one track. President Colt of the Mason City & Fort Dodge railroad, when in the city last week, offered, if granted this concession, to pave the entire of Ninth avenue between Sixth and Seventh streets, which would mean an outlay of over $2,000. It is sald that the property owners on the north side of the avenue are opposed to the rallroad being given the ten feet and are not anxlous that the street be paved. They clalm that the paving would not benefit them any, as the thoroughfare once the freight depot fs bullt will be practically monopolized by the rallroad. It was sald yesterday that the aldermen are about evenly divided now on the proposition to give the railroad this ten feet, but that Mayor Jennings !s unalter- ably opposed to it. CAPTURES RICHARDS TROPHY Council Bluffs Team Takes First Hon- Whist Leag J.J. Shea, Jobn P. Organ, B. O. Bruington snd B. F. Stimson, who represented the Council Bluffs club at the Central Whist league tournament in Sioux City Friday and Saturday, arrived home yesterday, covered with glory und bringing with them the much coveted Richards trophy. In the contest for the Richards cup Omaba was second, Sioux City Whist and Checker club third, Sioux Falls elub fourth, Yankton fitth, Des Moines sixth, Sioux City Hawkeye club seventh and St. Joseph eighth. - The Richards challenge cup is the hand- somest and most coveted trophy of the Central Whist league and is also the oldest prize of the assoclation. It was presented by B. R. Richerds of Rock Raplds, Ia., who recently removed to Calfornia. It was first competed for in 1894, but no club In | o the league so far has been able to secure permanent possession of it by winning it twice In succession. The Schmelzer trophy, which last week was wrested from the Council Bluffs club by Omaba, was not competed for at the Sloux City tournament. B. O. Bruington of the Council Blufts Whist club was elected one of the directors of the Central Whist league. Davis srlls glass No Verdict in Hemry's Suit. The district court jury, in the suit of Captaln H. L. Henry agalpst F. J. Day, administrator of the estate of George Met- calf, deceased, which went out Friday noon, falled to agree on a verdict yester- day and was discharged last evening by Judge Thornell. The jury weas out ffty- six hours. Henry sued on & note for $500 given in 1888, which, with the interest accumulated, amounted to over §1,000. The defense contended that the note had been tampered with, and the date changed from 1854 to 1888 Memorial for Francis Willard. In the Fifth Avenue Methodist church yesterday the Woman's ristian Temper- ance union held memorial services for Miss Frauces Willard, which were attended by & large congregation. Charles M. Harl de- livered an eloquent address on the life and character of Miss Willard, and Mrs. Blla K. Denny, national organizer of the union, delivered a eulogy on the great temperance advocate and foremost leader of the unfon. Special music, including a tenor solo by Vincent Brown, was a feature of the me- morial service. The pastor, Rev. E. W. Erickson, went to Malvern, where he occupled the pulpit of the Methodist church. Davis. sells glass. Will Be Asked to Make It Brick. The aldermen tonight will be asked to reconsider their seleotion of concrete for the abutments of the new bridge over Indian creek at Mynster and North Main streets. Contractor Wickham, at the time the com- tract was awarded to him, urged the u: of brick, on the grounds that the material could be supplied at home. At the last meeting of the Trades and Labor assembly this question was brought up and the a: sembly Indorsed the use of brick, it being stated that by, doing so $2,000 of the cost of the bridge could be hept at home. Representatives of the labor unions, it is understood, will ask the council tonight to change its selection from concrets to brick.

NASHVILLE, Tenn., Feb. 16.—A story re- cently sent over- the country to the effect that Chancellor Wiggins and some other members of the facuity of the University of the South had left Swanee because of anonymous notes from supposed mountain- ers, warning them to leave on pain of death, has drawn from the university authorities a statement, in which they say the publica- tion dome much Injustice to the uni- versity and given an unfair and erroneous estimate of the character of the people surrounding it. The statement continues: “The native population of the Cumberland plateau and the valleys and coves near the university are on terms of amity and good feoling with the university and the country people are its friends. The single anony- mous letter picked up on the street alarmed no one. “The newspaper ir “-h the sensatlonal article first appearc. ., In response to a request by the university, given the source of its information, and it appears that it came from persons who do not live in Swanee ‘and who were simply perpetrating a hoax or joke, not expecting any publica- tion to resuit. DISPUTE LEADS TO STRIKE Trouble Between Brewers amd Sta- tionary Engineers Over Juris- diction Reaches Clt CINCINNATI, Feb. 16.—~The brewers of Cincinnati, Covington and Newport now say that their workmen are expected to strike next week. About 2,500 workmen are involved. Last night a few men were dropped and a conference today of Interesied parties falled to reach an agreement. National officers of the respective unions have been here working in vain with the local auxil- faries of the different bodies involved. The trouble comes from the dispute between the United Brewery workers and the Sta- tionary Engineers unions as to who of them sball have control and jurisdiction over the engineers and the firemen who are employed in the various breweries of the three cities.

SMALLPOX EPIDEMIC CLOSES DES MOINES No Sunday Services in Any of the City Churches—General Appro- priation i Being Drawn U (From a Staff Correspondent.) DES MOINES, Feb. 16.—(Special.)—The political contest in the city and county has become almost of state importance from the fact that it involves the political fortunes of Captain Hull, present member of con- gress, who has had five or six terms in that body, and seeks re-election because of the great services he has been to his district. His opponent is Judge 8. F. Prouty of the district bench, an able orator and popular young man. But what makes the contest Interesting to the entire state is the fact that it is developing into a revival of the factional quarrels of last year. Prouty Is favored by Govermor Cummins and Hull by all who opposed Cummins. An effort has been made to keep this factional division line out of sight, but it is coming to the front more and more. The county primary is to be held March 10, which is unusually early, but this was made necessary by the calling of the pri- mary in Stery county. Captain Hull will be back from Washington tomorrow to re- main until the primary is held. His friends are in control of the county organtzation. Judge Prouty has completed his canvass of the city and has made a number of speeches and now goes to the country. The smallpox quarantine and order to mot allow public meetings will interfere somewhat with the plans of the politicians, and it is being made use of in a political way by the ac- cusation that the Prouty people are respon- sible for It because they are through with the city. But a large number of speeches will be made in the country and from this time on meetings will be held every might. Polk county will decide the matter for the dis- trict. At the same time & city campaign is in progress and the canvass for county offi- cers, and in all there are over 100 candi- dates now actively at work for political honors in this immediate field. Des Moines a Closed Town. This was the most completely closed Sun- day ever known in Des Moines. The deter- mination of the city authoritles to act in the matter of stopping the smallpox epi- demic has gone to the extent of closing everything, including churches, theaters and lodge rooms. The Des Moines churches were all closed today, except in a few of the suburban churches, where small com- munities worship. The theatrical engage- ments have all been canceled and until further - notice the theaters will not be opened. The schools will continue as usual. It is expected that the bill which has been made & special order in the senate which empowers the State Board of Health to take control of towns and cities where the local boards of health have failed of thelr duty, will be promptly passed, inasmuch as the clty of Des Moines has just given the leglslature an -object. lesson in the dangers attendant om refusal to observe health rules. The president of the State Board of Health has issued a re- assuring statement for the benefit of Des Moines business houses, in which he states that there is no danger in attending to business in Des Moines. Downfall of Business M A requieition has been issued on the gov- ernor of Kansas for the return to Iowa of B. G. Nelson, wanted in Cerro Gordo county for. embezzlement. Nelson is a young man who had the finest of prospects ahead of him. He went to the new town oV ‘Wheelerwood to become manager of an ele- vator for the Northern Graln company. He became infatuated with the daughter of a man working for the company and neg- lected his wife and child. Despite that he had only a small salary and indulged in extravagances, and some months ago mat- ters became so bad that Mrs. Nelson lett him. A short time afterwards Nelson de- parted, saying he was going to Fargo, In- stead he went to St. Joseph. Investigation showed that by manipulation of grain checks he bas stolen $4,380 from his em- ployers. He was apprehended a few days ago at Fort Scott, Kan., and will be brought back to Towa for trial on & charge of em- bezzlement. Attorneys Ab: Case. Information has been received that the attorneys for John McGregor of Crawford county, in his defense from an injunction procured by Secretary Sbaw, haye with- drawn from the case. Shaw procured a temporary injunction from Judge Church to restraln McGregor from circulating cer- tain falsehoods about ‘Shaw in connection with an old lawsuit in which McGregor fancied he had been mistreated. The hear- ing to make the injunction permancnt wi to have been held the first week in January, but Shaw was then too busy closing up his affairs as governor and the date was set for mext Tuesday. Now the attorneys for McGregor bave signified their Intention of withdrawing from the case and it is ex- pected that this will end the matter. It is generally believed that McGregor fs mentally unbalanced by financial reverses and has & mania for persecuting Secretary Shaw. Legislative A The appropriation committees of the house and senate have been hard at work the past week on the general appropriation | bills. The members of the Board of Con- trol have been called before the commit- tees in relation to the appropriations for state institutions under care of the board, and the heads of educational imstitutions !hvt been consulted freely. Nearly all of the individual bills have been considered. The house committee will this week bring |in a general bill for all the institutions. | The total of appropriations asked for foots up more than twice as much as the com- mittees have available. It is regarded as certain that the tax levy will be increased materfally to furnish the necessary income to the Institutions. The latest disclosures concerning the probablility of securing a refund of money advanced to equip soldiers forty years ago s encouraging to the ap- propriations committees, and this may cause delay in the présentation of the ap- propriations bills until it is known whether Towa will get this money in time to use it |t Dr. Mueller in America.
