THE OMAHA DAILY BEE: oo 1902. MONDAY, SEPTEMBER CURRENT NEWS OF IOWA COUNCIL BLUFFS. NEW BUILDINGS GOING UP More New Btructures Tham Have Been Erected for Beveral Years. CONTRACTORS FIND IT HARD TO GET MEN 014 Frames Which Have Disfigured Principal Streets Being Torn Down and Replaced with Sub- tial Bricks. Councll Bluffts is enjoying a buflding | boom almost unprecedented in the history of the city. In addition to the large num- ber of handsome private residences in course of construction in all parts of the city many substantlal brick business build- ings are belng erected. In many cases these brick buildings take the place of old and unsightly frame structures whose period of usefulness had passed. This summer has been an exceptional one in the building line, and the demand for carpenters, bricklayers, masons and in | fact all classes of artisans has been ex- | traordinary. So great has been the de- | mand that contractors have in many in- stances found considerable difficulty in se- curing men. The demand for building ma- terfal of all kinds has at times exceeded the supply, and the conetruction on sev- eral large buildings has for this reason been more or less delayed. The demand for steel and iron work in Council Blufts this summer has been unusually heavy and contractors have experfenced much diffi- culty i getting their orders filled. The same applies to cement, a vast quantity of which has been used In thie oity dur- ing the last several months, and the sup- ply at times was wholly Inadequate to meet the demand. One of the largest bulldings now ap- proaching completion s the new Mercy hospital being erected by the Mrs. Ada Boggs of Des Molnes and Mrs. Mary Strack, Mre. Alice Lacey, Mrs. Nora Marble and Mrs. Sulia Head of this city, survive her. Arrangements for the funeral have not yet been completed. Plumbing and heating. Bixby & Son. Ready for Track It is expected that the grading on the Great Western between Harlan and Coun- cil Blufts will be completed by November 1, when the laying of steel will be com- menced. Work has not yet been com- menced on the terminals and all the houses have not yet been removed off the right-of- way in the city. The heavy rains this sum- mer have retarded the work owing to the grade washing out, caving in and becoming undermined in many places, but Winston Brothers & Craney, who have the contract between Council Bluffs and Harlan, ex- pect the sub-contractors will be ready to turn over the work to them by November 1.

L.ayers in November, Opening Addition to Hospital, The Sisters of Mercy of St. Bernard's hospital have announced the formal open- | ing of the large addition to the St. Mary's Home for Young Women for Wedncsday afternoon, when a general reception will be held at the home from 2 to 6 o'clock. At this time the public is invited to visit and inspect the homs, which was opened a year ago. The women of the St. Mary's Mercy cir- cles of St. Francis Xavier's and St. Peter’s churches will assist Mother Vincent and Mother Magdalen and sisters in receiving the guests. N. Y.

A cost of furniehing and fitting it up. When finished tho new hospital will be as com- plete as any similar institution west of Chicago. Another notable bullding which nearing completion is the big three- story warehouse being erected by the Groneweg” & Schoentgen company for its wholesale grocery business. This bullding, located at the corner of Ninth street and facing Broadway, covers more than half a block, with rallroad trackage in the rear, The cost of thé building when completed will exceed $60,000. F. J. Duerr has commenced the erection of a brifk bullding on his property on Broadway, between. Seventh and Eighth street, which will be two stories in height. The main bullding will be occupled by a laundry company, while the upstairs will | be arranged in fi for which there is a | 8004 demand in this city. The bullding will cost in the nelghborhood of . $15,000. Many of the old frame Structures on Broa ‘way, which have done’since Council Bluffs was a frontier town, are rapidly dieap- pearing to make way for substantial brick bulldings of modern design. This s espe- clally true of the many old frame bulldings Which bavg oecupled .as saloons, and which are now being replacéd by the differ- ent brewing companies with ornate brick buildings. The Krug Brewing company has Just completed such a building at Eleventh street and Broadway, while the Omaha rewing company, which purchased the old anparel} property at the corner of Scott ‘street and Broadway, has torn down the ©0ld ‘derelict and is bullding In its place & handsome thred-story block of ornate de- sign, which will greatly improve the ap- pearance of this, one of the principal cor- ners fn the city. The same company Is 1so bullding & substantial brick structure t the corner of Ninth avenue and South Main street, taking the place of an old frame structure. The Waterloo Creamery company has just ‘completed a large brick bullding for its business ou South Eighth street, near Broadway, which involved an outlay of about $10,000. The bullding is two stories high, the second floor being partitioned into flats of modern design. The Citt Gas and Electric company has just let the contract for a new gas house and other improvements to its plant, which will entall an expenditure of between $15,000 and $20,- 000, Greenshields & Everest are erecting & handsome double brick flat at the corner of Oakland and Washiugton avenues, rep- resenting an expenditure of about $7,000. The Scandinavian Lutheran church is mak- ing improvements on lts property at Ninth street and Avenue A, which will cost about $8,000. R. A. Filter has just completed a store bullding on Broadway, near the Northwestern depot, which cost $3,000, and Chris Straub has replaced an old frame shack on his property on South Main street with a brick store bullding, costing $3.500. Of the residences which are to be seen in ourse of construction In every part the most pretentlous is that being bullt for J. F. Wilcox, the well known florist, on his property on East Plerce street. When com- pleted this fine residence will have cost upward of $20000, Dr. H. B. Jeunings is building a $7,500 residence on the lots re- cently purchased by him in Turley's Glen, at the head of Willaw avenue. Victor E. Bender is bullding a $4,500 residence on Fifth avenue and Third, while residences costing from 32,600 to $4,000 are being erected by Mrs. Cornelius on Fifth avenue and ‘Seventh street, Mrs, M. A. Haynes in the same vicinity, Andrew Peterson on Glen avenue, Mrs. J. W. Kelly on Avenue A and Twenty-first street, Mrs. Eva Glbson on Fifth avenue near Sixth street, Mr M. J. Tilton on Fifth avenue, H. P. Butler on Glen avenue, L. A. Casper on Ninth svenue, T. J. Shugart on Glen avenue. This is but a partial list of the fine resi- dences in course of erection. The lumber men have been compelled to 4ncrease their facilities and have done con- slderable bullding this summer. C. Hafer ‘has erected a big lumber shed on the Illi- nois Central tracks near Avenue B and Twelfth street and has bullt commodious stables at the rear of his warehouse on Broadway. George Hoagland is bullding large sheds and ‘an office on, Main street while the Quinn Lumber company has also constructed big lumber sheds and other Dulldings at Vime and Second streets Gravel roofing, A.

Bishop P. J. Garrigan, the newly Installed bishop of Sioux City, The bishop declared the carnival shows presented under the name of the Jabour shows were unfit for good Catholics to attend. He spoke bitterly against their alleged immoral character and adjured his people to remain away. He cited the ac- tion of the Elks at Salt Lake, where carni- vals were tabooed, as proof of the correct- ness of his statements. Bishop Garrigan's utterances on the eve of the Elks' carnival has created considerable excited comment. Many of the local Elks are members of the Catholic church. Eighth gvenue.

B SPENCE 1S WELL PLEASED Results of Political Oonferemces Are Encouraging to Republioans. DEMOCRATS SHOWING SIGNS OF LIFE Mother of Hoy Who Was So Cruelly Beaten Returns and Says She Has Been in a Hospital in Omaha. (From a Staft Correspondent.) DES MOINES, Sept. 21.—(Special.)— | Chairman Spence of the republican state | central committee has just returned from | his touring of the state holding district conferences with the candidates for con- grees in each district and the county chair- men and party workers in each section of | the state. Mr. Spence stated this morning | that the conferences held the past week wero the most successful of any. They were held in Stoux City, Council Bluffs, | Creston, Ottumwa and Cedar Rapids. At some of these conferences every county in the district was represented, while a num- | ber of counties have not yet organized for | the camapign. The chairman has thus had an opportunity to meet the local workers {and the men on whom he must rely for |the political work of the campalgn and | personally to explain to them the plans case by his actfon in placing himselt out- side the pale of the church. Mr. Henness, after mantaining silence etubbornly for a year, aaid that the reason he left his wife was for continual “nagging,” which broke down his health and rendered it impossible for him to do ministerial work. The charge against him before the conference was simply his sepe aration from his wife, whom he agreed to eupport, but refused to live with. No question of immorality was Involved, the clalms of the prosecution being that Mr. Henness' conduct was unclerical, and that a minister so separated should not be sent out as pastor over a church by the bishop. Mr. Henness will g0 to North Dakota to engage in the mining business. say that & movement will start from his case to have the general quadrennial con- terence of the Methodist chuch take ac- tion against one of the oldest and most prominent bishaps, Who aleo was sep- arated from his wife under similar condi- tiona. HENDERSON SERVES OUT TERM Emphatically Denies Any Intention of Resigning from Present Congress. CHICAGO, Sept. 21.—David B. Hender- son, speaker of the national house of rep- resentatives, passed through Chicago to- night enroute for Atlantic City. Before leaving for the east Speaker Hen- derson restated his determination to retire from the house, denied any intention of “abdicating” hie present position until his term of office shall have expired and de- clared himself in perfect accord with the tariff views of President Roosevelt, as enunciated in his Cineinnati speech. “I have spent twenty years of my life for the campalgn and what s wanted of each onme. At these conferences Chairman Spence has been accompanied by A. F. | Dawson, private secretary to Semator Al- | 1ison, who fs in charge of the speakers | for the republican committee and the plans | for the speaking campaign have been for- mulated. The Waterloo rally has been called off. It was to be on the 27th. Thus far the only outsiders who are certainly to be In the lowa campaign are Congressman Landis of Indiana, Congressman Esch of Wieconsin, Governor Van Sant of Minne- sota, Colonel Frank 0. Lowden of Tilinols, Senator Clapp of Minnesota, Senator Mason of lllinots, Senator Foraker of Ohid' and Congressman Hopkins of Illinols. The de- termination of Speaker Henderson to re- tire from public life at this time, just as the national congressional committee was arranging to have him enter a number of | other states on an exteneive speaking tour | for which he was to be provided with a epecial car, has somewhat disarranged the plans for the speaking campaign, as there was to be more or less of an exchange of speakers between the states, However, Colonel Hepburn, Senator Dolliver and Con- gressman Cousins will peak in other states, also Governor Cummins and some other JTowa orators. Democratic Plans, The democratic state committee has se- cured rooms and opens headquarters some time next week and engage in a general campaign. ‘The congressionai commitiee in the Third district will have a district conference at Waterloo on Monday to arrange for the campaign there. The con- gressional committee will have a conference in Des Moines in a few days to arrange for the campalgn In this district. Parley Shel- don, mayor of Ames, and formerly postmas- ter, and a prominent banker of Story county, has formally accepted the nomination and will make the race. In the Fourth dlis- trict arrangements are being made for a joint debate between Congressman Hau- gen and Colonel A. L. Sorter, the republican and democratic mominees for congress. In this district an effort is being made to secure a serles of debates between Walt Butler and Lafe Young in the district. The only district in the state where the dem- ocrats have as yet secured no candidate for congres is In the Eleventh, where T. M. Zink was nominated, but has since de- clined. The committee will fill the va- cancy on the ticket very soon. Mother of Injured Chi About midnight last night the police force was surprised at the appearance at police headquarters of Mrs. I. N. Thomp- son, mother of the child that was so ter- ribly abused and for which abuse Mrs. Harry Lloyd has been held to the grand jury. Mrs. Thompson had been missing for some time. It was supposed she was in Des Moines, but she #ould not be lo- cated. She had left the 3-year-old boy in possession of her step-sister, Mrs. Lloyd, and had gone away. She stated this morning that she had been in Omaha since August 13 and was there for the purpose of having an operation performed and re- celving medical treatment. Mrs. Thomp- son is the daughter of a former well known Methodist minister and has been well reared. She did not know of the abuse | to which her child had been subjected un- til & few days ago. She says she will ap- ply for a divorce from her husband on the ground of non-support. Horse Show Lost Some Money. The Des Moines horse show, which wae held all last week in the pavilion at the state falr grounds, awarded over $4,000 in cash premiums, but the managers de- clare that the receipts were not sufficlent to pay all expenses. In fact the show was a very expemeive one in many ways, and while on one or two evenings the pavilion was filled full, yet on the other evenings | the attendance was not so large. The finest | 1ot of horses ever seen In the state was shown, and the social features of the show were successful in every way. Clark Will Survive. Harry Clark, the boy who was shot by Mre. Maud Smith, is at the Methodist hos- pital, but will probably recover, as he was reported doing well today. He is a crip- ple and suffers from St. Vitus' dance, and this may render his recovery slow. He still denies that he was responsible for any wrong to the daughter of Mrs. Smith, and his relatives and friends insist he was ot going wrong. On the other hand it is shown that the girl who made the accu- sation agalnst him does not bear a very good reputation. It s probable that neither the woman nor her victim will be prosecuted. REV. HENNESS QUITS CHURCH Nagging” Reason for Leaving His W Retarns. Assigns Constant . His KEOKUK, Ia., Sej\. 21.—The case of Rev. P, J. Henness, before the iowa conference of the Methodist Episcopal church, came very dramatically to an end as abruptly as it came up. After the trial committee, appointed by Bishop Hamilton and com- posed of thirteen prominent divines, had been in session far into the night, Mr. Henness hiwself took the stand. He sald It was evident to himself and to his attorneys that he was not to have falr treatment, and then he handed the parchments of his ordination in 1887 to the committee, following with his resignation from membership in the church as well as from the ministry. Turning to his wife, who was present, the self-unfrocked min- ister exclaimed ““Woman, behold the wreck of & man you have made.” Hizs wite broke down at this dramatic exhibition. The committee for the tri fighting for protection for American In- dustries and American labor and I shall not be a party to any juggling at this late day,” the speaker said. “President Roosevelt's tariff views, et forth in his Cincionati speech, coincide with my own. There is no difference in our belief. His speech was a strong ome and it has my hearty endorsement.” “Then the differences are confined your own state?” was asked. “Yes, largely. Let the new lighte shine.” The epeaker smiled broadly as he used this phrase. “Is there any chance of your friends prevailing on you to reconsider your a tion?” ““Absolutely nonme. I cannot see my way clear to gratify their wishes. It pains me to remain firm against them, but {t is a mat- ter of principle. “The pressure brought to bear on me s strong. Senator Allison and a host of my friends came to the station this afternoon to make a final assault on me. I had to say ‘No." " “WIll you resign from congress and give up the speakership before the end of your term?” “I shall not,”” was the prompt reply. “My declination of a nomination and a res- ignation from congress is another thing. I shall serve out my term in congress and I shall continue to fill the office of speaker. I have had no other intention." The suggestion was advanced that “ideas” and “policies” in Mr. Henderson's hoie state might change after a brief perfod. “Let the new lights shine,” again came the answer. When told that Secretary Shaw and Congressman Babcock were understood to be awaiting his arrival at Chicago with a view of adding their entreaties to dis- de him from his course, Mr. Henderson said: “I am on my way to Atlantic City and will arrive thebe tomorrow night. When 1t was sugested that certain lead- ers had intimated * it he was not loyal to his party by rfllg{‘x, a shadow of regret passed over his fa | and he quickly safd: “The retirement of w.4é man or of men from office cannot effect ths Tuture of the party.” to Atlantlé to Have a Carnival. ATLANTIC, Ia., Sept. 21.—(Special.)— Final arrangements were made yesterday by the citizens of Atlantic to hold a car- nival this fall. President Ed Egan and Secretary H. C. Billett of the association have the plans in charge and a good car- nival is assured. HENDERSON IN THE HOUSE (Continued from Fifst Page.) of the committee on the bill and considers it n connection with the bill ftsel?, and the statements of the member Interested. It often happens, however, that he is not sat- isfled entirely with the evidence in hand and the bill Is then referred to some disin- terested members. For the latter purpose the speaker has at hand the members of the committee on rules and the chalrmen of the committees of the house, of whom there are some thirty-five, to whom he often jocu- larly refers as his cabinet. It is his de- sire to obtain as unprejudiced a report on the bill as possible, so that he usually makes It a polnt to refer the bill to some member not connected with the committee making the report. Some times it {8 nec- essary to call on the departments for in- formation regarding the bill. When all the information is at hand the speaker gives his decision, and In accordance with this declaion the member is recognized or not. “1 made up my mind,” sald the speaker to the writer last session, “‘that as long as I was burdened with the responsibiiity of according recognition to the members, un- der the rules, I Would not permit any bill to come up before the house until after I had personally investigated its merits and was satisfied that it was a good bill. Of course a number of measures which are called up fail to pass, but that is a ques- tion for the house to decide.” Why Cushman Kicked. Under this system some meritorfous m ures doubtless fail to get into the house, but as the speaker is a very reasonable man and always approachable to members, it is lkely that a still larger number of un- worthy measures are killed by its opera- tion. It was such an instance that called forth the, bitter denunciation on the floor of the house during the discussion of the Cuban reciprocity bill by Representative Cushman of Washington of the speaker, the committee on rules and the methods of the house. Mr. Cushman had a bill to establish a mint at Tacoma, Wash., carrying an appropriation of $500,000 for that purpose. When he sought recognition for it from the speaker the latter was informed by the Treasury department that the mint was entirely unnecessary, that the department did not want it and that it was altogether undesirable to establish it. Looking at the subject from the standpoint of the interests of the country at large, rather than from that of Mr. Cushman and his constituents who were Interested in the establishment of the mint at Tacoma, the speaker de- clined to recognize Mr. Cushman for the purpose of calling up this bill and the lat- ter revenged himeelf by delivering e tirade against the speaker and the committee on rules, who were proceeding under their legitimate powers conferred upon them by the house itself. Yet Mr. Cushman had recelved four or five recognitions during the last congress, which was considerably above the average, especially for new mem- bers. Henderson a Hard Worker. Of course this care which the speaker ex- ercised In regard to matters to come be- fore the house entails upon him a vast quantity of work and it is fair to say he 1s enabled to transact his business only Mr. Henness immediately closed its & lcwn. baving lost its Jurisdiction of the o~ by virtue of having inberited a most rug- ‘led Scotch copstitution. The speaker is an His friends | early riser and at 9 o'clock Is always seated at his desk in his apartments at the Nor- mandie hotel. He fx a rapid worker and like most rapld workers divides his work time absolutely from that devoted to recre- ation. Consequently his office in the hotel is some distance from his suite of living rooms, although near enough to be con venient. When he steps into his office in the morning he finds there his secretary, Julian W. Richards, his clerk, L. J. Me- Neely, and his stenographer. Mr. Rich- ards calls up matters in connection with the house, to which he has been Mr. McNeely presents the speaker's let- ters and private correspondence, kis sten- ographer, Johnson, takes whatever dicta- tion the speaker desires to give and by 10:30 all of the epeaker's private business 18 cleaned up and out of the way. At 11 o'clock he is down at his office in the cap- itol, where the same force surrounds him, with the addition of A. G. Hinds, clerk at the speaker's table, and admitted to be the most competent authority on matters of parllamentary law and procedure known to the house. From 11 to 12 the speaker's office is open to members of the house in- discriminately, who lay before him such matters as they may see fit. In addition to his office at the Normandie and at the capitol, the speaker has another office, which might be termed a sort of retreat. It Is downstairs underneath his office on the floor of the house. It is here that he takes his lunch and where he receives only such visitors as he himself designates, This is the only place where the speaker has absolute privacy. Here it Is that he holds his conferences, usually with euch men as Representatives Dalzell and Gros- venor of the committee on rules, Represent- ative Payne, chairman of the committee on ways and means; Representative Cannon, chairman of the committee on appropria- tions, and others, Including senators, cab- tnet officers and others who seek him pri- vately on matters of legislation, Social Side of His Life. As stated, it 1s the custom o! Speaker Henderson to divide his private life from his public business absolutely, and when he reaches the hotel after the day's ses- slon his work is practically over for the day. This does not mean that there are not many affaire of public character dis- cussed over little dinners or suppers dur- ing soclal entertainments of various kinds, but as far as the direct business of the house is concerned it is set aside when the gavel falls. From 5 o'clock on during the evening the speaker Is not the speaker, but the genial David B. Henderson, mem- ber of congress from Iowa, fond of a good story, ready to laugh at a good joke, who sings a good song and is not averse to! other social recreations. No speaker since the days of James G. Blaine has been so fond of social diversions as Speaker Hen- derson, who rarely spends an evening alone. His soclal life is divided between the immediate circle of his own personal friends and the general official and so- cial world, with which he is thrown in contact largely through his position. In officlal soclety the epeaker is most cordial, but stands considerably on the dignity of his position. On this subject Mr. Henderson has been more frank than his predecessors. He belleves that as speaker of greatest popular leglsla- tive body in the world his position is sec- ond only to that of the president, and be- lleves that he should maintain the dig- nity of the office accordingly. It is not €0 much the man as the position to which he Ineists that proper respect should be pald. In private life, however, the speaker throws aside all reserve and enters Into the spirit and humor of those around him with much zest as though he were an ordinary member of congress. In his {m- mediate circle the speaker knows no dif- ference of position and never takes into consideration the officlal character of those who surround him. On such occa- slons, when the speaker is really seen at his best from a eocial view, his title is very seldom mentioned, and it is “‘General" or “Mr. Henderson,” and to his old friends “Dave,” just as he addresses them as “Uncle Joe’" (Cannon), “Uncle Pete' (Hep- burn), “Jim" (Sherman) and so on through the list. Domestic in His T The speaker is especially devoted to his Scotch song, his llking for this being in- herited from his Scotch ancestry, and be ing the possessor of a good voice, an ear for music and a retentive memory, he often leads the chorus and always particl- pates in it when the opportunity affords. He is devoted to his family, and It was a source of great discomfort to him that Mre. Henderson was obliged to be absent from Washington during the greater part of the last session in attendance on her aged parents in California and his daughter should be abroad completing her musical education. While not a man of large means, the speaker has & private Income in addition to his salary, and although unable to maintain & luxurious establish- ment in Washington, he is very fond of entertaining and gives frequent dinners at the Metropolitan club and elsewhere. The speaker is of a most genial disposition, and those of his friends who have fa- vors to ask seldom find thelr requests de- nied unless they conflict with his concep- tion of his duty to the public and the house, and on this point the speaker is immovable. A striking illustration of this 18 the fact that in making up his list of committees for this session the speaker first gave an opportunity for every mem- ber to be heard who wished to present his desires as to committee places and then he practically withdrew from all contact with members of the house, and even the chairmen of the committees themselves had very little to say in regard to the per- sonnel of their committees. The speaker preferred to place men on committecs where he thought they would fit, forming his opinion upon his personal knowledge tes. signed, | { of the character and qualifications of mem- bers rather than trusting to influence. Not Potent with Him, It ts remarkable how little recognition fe accorded by the speaker to what is usu ally termed influence. Ofclal and soclal relations have been strained to the utmost on certain occasions to secure h! sup- port or opposition to measures before the house, but the most that can be sald fs that the persons interested secured an au- | dlence and their representations were care- | tully considered. Having had no political ambition further than to occupy his pres- ent position, the speaker has not dabbled in politics, and because of his social in- dependence he has been free from most of the influences to which a weaker and less independent man might have been sub- jected. Above all the epeaker pos=wzes | tact, and this quality he has infused into the immediate circle that surrounds him in the house, with the result that no longer do the o-called leaders undertake to ride roughshod over their following. Nor is the control of the house vested in a close corporation, for the speaker and the more influential of his lieutenants are conetantly on the lookout for mew mate- rial, and members who demonstrate their abllity as legislators, parliamentarians or debaters are sure to have thelr talents recognized and their positions correspond- ingly advanced. However bitterly the speaker may have been denounced for his so-called tyranny, \* inay be safely said that he has held his commanding position by the will of the members of his party and by reason of his own eagacity, carefulness, conservatism and in the recognition of these qualities by the house. WOLVES ARE LESS PLENTIFUL Killing Off of Rabbits and the Work of Hunters Assigned as Cause. CHEYENNE, Wyo., Sept. 21.—(Speclal.)— At the last session of the state legislature, $40,000 was authorized as a fund for bounty on predatory wild animals during the en- sulng two years from April 1, 1901. To date the sum of $24,063 has been paid out, leaving a balance of $15,937 for the remain- Ing seven months, or until the expiration of the two years to be covered by the appro- priation. This Indicates that wolves and coyotes are either decreasing in numbers, or else ranchmen are not hunting them | with the same vigor as heretofore. Ranch- men report that the prairie pests are mi- | grating to the ranges of Montana and the British possessions, and advance as thelr reason for thinking so that the almost com- plete extermination of rabbits and other small animals in the state has made it nec- essary for wolves to seek greener pastures. Then, too, the campalgn waged agalnst the pests by ranchmen and professional hunt- ers, who usually hunt out the dens of cubs and destroy the pups, has had much to do with the depleted numbers of wolves and coyotes on the plains.
