NEWS FROM COUNCIL BLUFFS
More Trouble for tbo Omaha & Council Bluffs
Hallway and Bridge Company.
IT MUST LIVE UP TO ITS AGREEMENT
limtllutril to Hiiro thn Charter
of thn Company l'orfelli-d rroinl p |
Mniln Which lluvo Nrvcr Hreu
Kept A Hot Tight i\pcctlul. :
Another bomb shell was flrcd Into the
camp of the Oinnlm ft Council BlulTs Ifcill-
way and Bridge company vestcrday afternoon -
noon , and the campaign which was com-
menecd n few weeks ago by the citizens to
compel the company to fulfill Its contracts Is
now waxing warm. Proceedings were In
stituted to have the charter of the company
granted by the city council In 1880 canceled
and forfeited. The allegations of the
petition are In the main the same as those in
the suit l > egun by Spencer Smith and Hurl ft
McCabe against the company to compel the
refunding f the bonus voted a few years ngo
to assist in the building of the bridge.
, , 'J'he petition recites that after the charter
was granted to the company to build Its rail
way , and after the bonus was voted , the
Iowa corporation assigned to the Nebraska
coriHjratlon nil Its franchises and privileges :
that the Iowa corporation never exercised
any of its privileges , did not build the reader
or the bridge , and completely abandoned nil
the duties laid upon it by Its articles of Incor
poration and the charter granted by the city ;
that the Nebraska corporation claims to hold
the franchise but has failed to comply with
the duties laid upon the Iowa corporation ,
such as the payment of the cost of grading
and paving the streets whereon its tracks
were laid ; that the Nebraska corporation
claims to be operating Its road under the
franchise gr.tnlcd to the Council Ulufls
Street liallway company In 1S08 and under a
lease from the company.
Demiiiid Tlmt tlio Charter lie Canceled.
In view of these facts and the fact that
the Iowa corporation has transferred to the
Nebraska company , which is composed of
identically the same parties , Its charter , the
plaintiffs demand that thechartcrsogranted
bo canceled and declared forfeited , and that
the Nebraska corporation be required to show
by what right they are operating their road
on the streets of Council Bluffs.
"This isn't our last shot , either , ' ' said
Attorney C. M. Hurl last evening.Wo
mean to light the case until the company is
compelled to either lish or cut bait. It has
claimed of late to bo operating under the
charter of the old horse car railway. This
company was given the right to build a
single track railway and operate it by
horse power. How the present company can
claim that it has the right to run u
double track railway by eleutrio power is
more than I can see. However , this clmrtct
expires next August , and it will then have
to admit that it is running under the charter
of IHSO , by which It Is compelled to pay for
the paving as alleged in our petition , or else
ask for a new charter , in which event n fi
cent fare will bo one of the very near proba
bilities. If. as it claims , it has not been
using the ISStJ charter during the last two
years. It ia forfeited by its terms.
"Tho company put $31,000 of its own money
in thu enterprise and. so I am informed on
good authority , Is making an annual divi
dend of 50 per cent , while the citizens and

compelled to pay for the company In order
that its property might not bo sold at tax

Kd Copley's new play , "Mylos na Dodare , "
received its first presentation at the opera
house last evening. The Inisfail Dra

diction that it would bo tbo best amateur
cast over seen In Council Bluffs was fully
verified. The fact of the play being tbo
work of a Bluffs man , and the personal popu
larity of Air. Cogloy and'tbo members of tbo

The plity is an Irish comedy drama and
contains many line points , which were
brought out well. There Is a slight ten
dency to drag in the llrst act. but this de
fect is remedied In the succeeding acts and
especially in the third , which is full of gen
uine Irish humor and quaint situations. Mr.
Cogley , of course , played the title role , and
his experience on the amateur nnd profes
sional stage was of considerable advantage
to him over the other 'members of tlio
company. They all , however , played their
parts well , and especial mention is duo Mrs.
Coirley , Thomas B. Hughes , and little Fran
ces McMillan , who , although only four-years
of age , entered into the spirit of her part
with as much zest as any of her seniors , nnd
made a decided lilt with her dances. The
Ampbion male quartet , composed of Mes
srs. White , lairing , Manslicld and Davis ,
rendered a selection in the third act , and
Mr. Cogley sang the following songs com
posed bv C. W. Dalbev especially for this
production : "My Molllo Dear to Me , " "Tho

Rutherford B. Hayes was at ono time
the target of a Georgia confederate. It
s only by a scratch that his life was
saved and that the Ohio colonel after-
ivnrds became president.
The scene was on the Gonloy river , in
West Virginia. The Georgian who took
lim was General William Phillips of
Marietta , and the time wits 1801. For
several days General Floyd hud been
skirmishing with General Cox's Ohio
troops tit the "Hawk's Nest , " u pictur
esque cliff rising over 1,000 foot from
the river road. Ono fine morning General -
oral ( then colonel ) William Phillips
heard u bugle blast near the ' 'Hawk's
Nest , " .across the rivet1 , and an Ohio
colonel at the head of his regiment rode
out into the river u good distance , as the
rocks shelved gradually.
Cjlonol Phillips selected a long-range
rillo from ono of his men and , raising his
weapon , took deliberate aim at the unioi
ollleor. The distance was great , but
Phillips was a line shot , and at the crack
of the rifle a plume from the Ohio col
onel's high hat fluttered out into the
water , and the ollleer dashed up the
bank out of range. In 1878 General
Phillips was in Washington and saw the
president. Uo fcitid something about
"Hawk's Nest" and his aim at an Ohio
colonel. President Hayes brightenee
up and inquired into details. Then tlu
president said that ho was the Ohio cole
ncl whose hat was grazed by Phillips
bullet. That night General Phillips
took tea at the private table of the
Hayes family.

which ho says that it is to discover the
interior of the earth through the open

go with no other purpose than to follow
the wild animals back to Symsonia ,
whence 'they come every spring und re
turn in the full. No ono has ever fol
lowed them to their home , but wo will.
Whore they go wo can follow , and a now

An incident of more than ordinary in
terest to lovers of genuine good humor
happened in ono of the churches in
Fresno , Cnl. , a few Sundays since. The
church building stood square up against
the sidewalk , and thu preacher had just
grown eloquent over his subject. Every
thing was perfectly still when the earn
est divine exclaimed with much vohem-
enee : "What is it wo most need , my
friends , tonight ? " Just at this point
ono of the traveling lunch iKiddlers of
Fresno passed in front of the church
door and shouted out : "Toiuulus ! Hot

control itself , and it is said the preacher
biuilcd also.

The unexplrcd term of the contract of the
Metropolitan Street Lighting company Is to
bo llllcd by the Sun Ynpor Street Lighting
company of CantonO. Last night the coun
cil awarded to the Sun Yii , > or company the
contract. The company' " bid was the only
ono received In roswnso | to the advertise
ment. In the hid the company nijreed to
furnish until January at ) , IbW , as many gaso
line lights as uro now in use , to hum from
sundown to sunrise , every day In the year ,
sixteen enndlo power , for $18.75 per month.
When the hid was read Mr. Speelit moved
that the contract bo awarded to the com
pany.
Mr. Howell looked through another pair of
glasses and said so. In his opinion it would
bo very peculiar to it ward the contract
when but ono bid had been received , and no
competition was observable. Mr. Munro
bought the city hud delayed long enough
jid he wanted the contract awarded. He sain
heiadvertlsement for bids shut out all compe-
Ition , and it could not bo expected that any
tlicr than the Sun Yapor company would
ubinit tone. That company has its lamp
rests already set and can fulfill its contract.
The discussion was prolonged and finally
, ho contract w.\s awarded to the company.
Mayor Demls vetoed the bill of the Now
Omaha Thomson-Houston company for le-
ember , amounting to .vj.-IMMM. The may-
ir's position was the same as that assumed
ivlton he vetoed it former claim on December
8 , Ib'J'i. The mayor believes that the
mount claimed Is largely In excess of That
ho company Is entitled to , as In his opinion
, ho company is furnishing lights that uro
3iUiil | to about only one-half of the capacity
required by contract. He again urged tbo
necessity of securing an apparatus nnd con
nections so that frequent and pra.'tlcal tests
nay bo made of the power of are lights , such
ests to be made by the proner ollicials of
ho city. The mayor's veto was not sus-
ained , four members voting to sustain and
hirteen the other way.

Comptroller' * IMImute.
In submitting his animal estimates of ex
penses for the current"'year ' Comptroller
Olson prepared his regular report asfollows :
In accordance with reoWreiiients of law , I
herewith submit-to your' ' liortorutdo body an
estimate of expense * for the year 1893 , for the
various funds and departments of thoelty ,
compiled from last year's expenditures ami
other information that I was alilo to obtain.
Tim estimates uro based on vrhat Is needed
without taking Into consideration any balance
that may bu left In the various funds , which
balance I have hhown wherever there Is
any. I may hero Mate , as Is a well
known fact , that thu business In some depart
ments of thu city has Increased probably one *
fourth , and If out ) department Incrcase-i thu
rest will proportionately , nevertheless It Is my
belief , that thu business of the city , lulus pro
vided for from the general fund , can be prop
erly done for the amounts as estimated , this
being In the main the Mime as last year and
the year before , and If at certain times moro
help .should bo needed to properly do the busi
ness , other expenses can bo cut down , s > o as to
need no moro money than estimated , unless
salaries hhoiild bo Increased ,

A communication was received from the
Freohind-IxMimls , company , enclosing n
check for $1.000 to bo used ns n subscription
for the purchase of the promised two steam
lire engines. The conditions attached are
that one of the steamers shall bo located In
the business portion of the city nnd shall bo
named the ' Continental , " as shall the house
where it Is located and the company oper
ating the machine. The projwsltion was re
ferred to the committee on lire nnd water.
Mr. Mu mi ) thought that the Board of
Health was incurring too gre.xt an expense ,
considering the time of the year. He wanted
a committee appointed to Investigate the
matter and see if some of the help Is tint un
necessary and can be dispensed with. Mr.
Howrll nnd Mr. MeLcarli- defended the
board and said that more help Is needed , in
stead of n lessening of the number of in
spectors. A motion to postpone ludelinitely
any action prevailed.
Kuril One Miiy KrrpTlb. :
The comptroller was Instructed to furnish
each councilman with a copy of the general
appropriation ordinance after it has been
read the second time. Some of the councilmen -
men failed to grasp the full import of the
resolution , ami when they did the opposition
to It was concentrated and gencniled by Mr.
Wheeler , who immediately moved it recon
sideration.
Nearly nil of the members on the lloor
took u hand in the discussion. The oppo
nents of the resolution thought Us adoption
would increase the work of the comptroller
and necessitate the employment of addi
tional help. The members who desired the
adoption of the resolution held to the belief
that the comptroller could do the work
without this. They desired complete scru
tiny of all claims , and this was taken as the
most convenient mammr of placing them be
fore the members , ami thus prevent any
claims slipping in which do not helomr in the
appropriation sheet. The motion to recon
sider was defeated.
Hereafter the city will only pay for beds in
the different hospitals when actually used.
The committee on public property and
buildings reported that a contract had been
entered into with the American District
Telegraph company for putting into the city
hall its system of night watch signal ser
vice. The contract was approved by the
council. The rex | > rt of the committee on
public property and buildings recommended
that two steam lire engines and one hose
cart bo purchased , and llfty or seventy-live
intermedlato lire hydrants bo ordered placed
In the business portion of the city : also that
an engine house bo erected between Ninth
and Sixteenth streets and Capitol nvcL'un
nnd Howard streets. The report was adopted.
Architect Bolndorff's claim for & , Mi for
services on the city hull , which has bobbed
up serenely several times , was up again last
night. Action was postponed until all work
upon the city hall Is completed.
liiK I > OIH for War.
experiment ) * In training
war dojjrt are in progress in Germany.
The work is done by non-coinnussioned
ollluors. tinder theo occasional supervis
ion of n lieutenant. The system of tntin-
hitf i elaborate and dillli'iilt , and often
enough the results are utterly un.satis-
faetory. But a small percentage of the
dojfd tried uro accepted for military
service , and of those accepted the ma
jority prove to bo failures in consequence
of the impossibility of .suppressing their
natural tendency to bark when au enemy
approaches.
In the present work the dogs are
taught to regard black or blue trousers
us Gorman and friendly , and red trousers
us hostile. About half of the trainers
wear Frenc'h uniforms , scold the dogs in
French and cttlT them or whip them.
The dogs are taught thus in a short time
to distinguish between French and Ger
mans during daylight nnd to give the
alarm whenever it French uniform comes
in sight. They are taught to give the
alarm whenever anybody approaches by
night , the distinction of friend or foe
then devolving upon the nearest sentry.
Training dogs for messenger service
lias been found much easier than train
ing them for picket duty. The couriers
are selected invnriiibly from the females ,
as they are quicker and less likely to
loiter along the road. The first lesson
taught to such a courier dog is that she
must hide upon the approach of a human
being , exccping , of course , her special
trainer and camp frjends. A sergeant
told a reporter that his dogs had learned
already to hide behind hedges or a
crouch down out of sight in ditches
whenever anybody came along the1 road ,
and then to continue their journey with
renewed speed its soon as the danger of
detection was by. The messenger doij
wears a light iron collar with u small
bag attached for the dispatches.
The greatest dillleulty , the sergeani
paid , had boon found in accustoming the
dogs to artillery. At the llrst discharge
of cannon usually they bolt. After
having once been accustomed to the re
ports of firearms , however , ho said , the
dogs were the most courageous soldiers
and ran about without quailing in the
thickest of the fight. The German
spitz has been found most valuable for
the service on account of its intelligence
and endurance. The best color for facili
tating the concealment of the messenger
dog has boon found to bo gray and
therefore gray-haired dogs are selected
whenever practicable. A good many
Scotch collies have also been impressed
into the service and a few St. Herimrds.
This latter variety is employed exclu
sively by the Red Cross Held service
and hence it is asserted that in the next
war there will bo no possibility that any
of [ the wounded will bo overlooked on
the battlefield.
