The Omaha & Council Bluffs Street Raflway company stands ready to bring its tracks on Avenue A to grade as soon as the city gets ready to grade the thor- oughfare to the established grade. This information was conveysd in & communi- cation from the street railway company to City Clerk A. W. Casady yesterday. The letter was In answer Lo & notice sent the company by Mr. Casady on instruc- tions from the city council given at the last meetigg of that body, when the city attorney and city engineer were directed to take the necessary steps to compel the street rallway people to bring their tracks on this thoroughfare to grade. The communication from the street rail- way company is as foilows: “Replying to your favor of 24th fnst beg to say that we are ready to put our track on Avenue A to the established grade whenever the balance of the street is put to gra If you will please ad- vise us when contract is let for grading balance of strest we will at once make preparation to take oare of our tracks.” While the grade on Avenue A has been ntablished there are places where the ac- tual work of raising or lowering the stroet to the grade has not been done. The let- ter from the street rallway company is construed to mean that the company does not contemplate ehanging its tracks until the city brings the entire street to the established grade. City Engineer Etnyre when shown the letter from the street raflway peopls said: “The sidewalk grade is thirty inches lower than the track, and if the company complied with the ordinanee it would sim- ply lower its tracks to that level. It would net hurt the track and the com- pany should do it without further delay. In my opinign the street rallway people are merely playing for time. They know they should eomply with the ordinance which wae passsd about fwo years ago, and 1f it does hurt their track they should construct it so that it wouldn't. As City Bolleitor Kimball 1s at present in the east it is not llkely that anything will be done in the matter before the reg- | jury at the present term of court were brought back Friday from Hay Springs. Neb.,, where they were arrested Wednes- day. They were brought back in custody of Deputy Sheriff Leuch and his wife. Crayne was indicted on a charge of wife desertion, but the indictment against Vera Thompson chargéd her with maintaining fifeit relations with Crayne. Mrs. FEthel Crayne, wife of the man In the case s the complaining witness in both cases. Crayne's bord was placed at $400 while that of the woman was fixed at $1,000. As neither could furnish & bond they were committed te the county jail. Mrs. Ethel Crayne complained to the authorities on Oetober 4, that her husband had run away with the Thompson woman who had not only entirely supplanted her in the affections of her husband, but had usurped her place in the household. The family formerly lived in Kansas City and eame to Council Bluffs several months ago. According to Mrs. Crayne's story her hus- band preceeded the family here and the Thompson woman accompanied . him Yo Council Bluffs from Kansas City. After Mrs. Crayne and the children came here the Thompson woman, remained a mem- ber of the household. Mrs. Crayne told Assistant County Attorney Ross she had refused for the sake of ber children to complain against her husband so long as he supported them. She declined to prose- cute him on the charge filed against the woman. Crayne and Miss Thompson were !Mving on a ranch at Hay Springs when arrested. The family llved at 102 Eighth avenue.

In fact, some tests already made show that the corn in the field will not do for seed. Gift to Council Bluffs Institution.

Nov. 2.—(Special)— While the fact has not yet recelved wide publicity, it is announced that Towa col. lege Is quietly lining up the forces of Its alumni and friends for another big en- dowment campaign. The close of the greal effort last winter ralsed 3500000 In a fow monthe. This leaves the board of trustees free to push into a rapidly widening edu- catfonal scope and is enough for the im- mediate needs of the situation. It also places Grinnell safely in the ranks of the few colleges with avallable million dollar endowments. The unanimity with whieh the friends and patrons of Grinnell sup- ported the whirlwind campalgn makes the belief strong that another $500,000 will be raised by the coming attempt.
