QUESTIONS WITH THE MOTOR COMPANY I'ropoftPtl lor Srttllng the Ullll- culllr * Met \\con tliu Corpor.tt Ion unit the Cltr ClllrrnTnl < ltiK Action -A l.lttlc limliln IIMorv. A special meeting of the city council Is booked for next Monday evening , and one of the Items of business which will como before it at that time Is the consideration of the petition which Is now being circulated among tno citizens asking that the charter of the Omaha & Council Hluffs Hallway and Urldgo company bo revoked. The petition Is being iiutto largely signed , and there is but little doubt that a strong effort will bo made to induce the aldermen to lake n decided stand upon thtvjiuestlon , and the citizens In general will take a great deal of pleasure in watching to see how each mem ber of the council behaves himself on that occasion. The Idea of those who suggested the circulation of the petition Is. that If the charter Is revoked , It will leave the motor company on the platform it now claims to be , that Is , on the charter of the old Council HlulTs Street Hallway company , which will expire next August. 'Hit ; motor cornpanv will thru have to show its hand and ask fur a new charter or else let Us business go up the llumo. If it asks for a new charter , the council may perhaps bo forced into putting a 5-cent faro clause In it by the overwhelm ing public sentiment that exists in favor of such a provision. The idea that itill voluntarily shut up shopafter the expiration of tlio charter of IM5S is by no means prob able , and the fact that the Omaha U , Idgc & Hallway company takes the approach of the expiration of the charter under which it now operates so coolly , gives color to the sugges tion that perhaps there is a colored man in HID wood pile that people generally know nothing nbout. Siiine Illtfrrstlnj , " History. A little over two years ago a charter was granted to tlio Interstate Hallway company to build and operate a motor line on the streets of Council Bluffs. East Omaha was the point which it was intended to reach , and a great hullabaloo was made over what was nt the time thought to bo an immense thing for Council Bluffs. The work of layIng - Ing track was to becompleted Inside of three years , but although there is less than a year left there has been nothing done with the exception of laying about a block of track on North Eighth street , Just enough to prevent the charter from lapsing for nonuser. The track itself has vanished from sight and old inhabitants would have to bo called upon to testify that It Is there , or else the dirt would have to be removed to the depth of a foot or thereabouts. It is now stated that if the Omaha and Council Hluffs Hallway and Hrldgo company has not already leased the charter of this company there is an undcrstandliiir between the two companies that as soon as the charter of the Council Hluffs Street Ituilwny company ex pires the line will thenceforth be operated under the charter of the Interstate com pany. The paving bills will by that time be outlawed and there will bo nothing to hinder the company from coming out boldly and admitting thut it is operating under a charter that requires them to pay for the paving between the tracks and u foot on cither side. Whether this rumor Is correct , time only can tell , but it answers as well as any explanation that has yet been put forward to the question why so little excitement was shown by the motor company when the charter of an alleged competitor was before the city coun cil. F. ij. Ames , the largest stockholder In the motor company , is also hea\ily Inter ested in the Interstate company , nnd two members of the motor company , Messrs. Barton nnd Mlllard , nro said to bo consider ably influenced by his feelings. Ono of .Many .Suggestions. Ono result from all this talk that has been going the rounds with reference to tlio motor company and Its unpaid taxes is that a new idea has begun to sprout. It is now sug gested by a number of influential citizens tliat the city step in and buy the motor line next August. If there should turn o'ut to be nothing in the above theory with reference 'to the connection of the motor company and the Interstate , It is urged that the city will then have the company in an exceedingly tight place. There will bo nothing to com pel the giving of u now charter , and even if the council should think it best to accommo date the company with ono , it could bo so loaded down us to decrease materially the dividends , and thus give the company a gen erous gulp of the medicine it lias been admin istering to the city over since it commenced operations. If tlio motor line , run as it is by money furnished by the taxpayers , is so val uable n piece of property to the company the question naturally arises why It would not bo equally valuable to the city , which really gives it all the value it possesses And forcing the company to stand on the charter of IhOS , as would then ba necessary , would not prevent the citizens from recover ing In the actions which huvo already been instituted , for if they are entitled to any thing they have n right to their share of the dividends that have been declared in favor of the stockholders of the company , and could even fish into tlio stockholders' pockets to get what was coming to them. These are tlio arguments put forward by those who favor t-hu scheme , and although later developments may show It to bo an impossibility it is nt least an interesting thing to think nbout until the developments como to light.

He is wanted in Lcwistou , Fulton county. 111. , und Deputy Sheriff Waggonner of that place arrived in the city yesterday to take charge of him. About two years ago Fulton was in the employ of William Barker , also of this city , und was working that part of Illinois in the Interests of u lightning ted llrm. It is alleged that there was something crooked in the transaction of Barkers and his associates , of whom there were several , and all of tliem were Indicted for conspiracy by the grand Jury of Fulton county. Barker nnd ono of his men were arrested , but the others sought safety in ( light. They have been fleeing ever shine. Barker was convicted , but managed through some pe culiarity of the law of Illinois to get out ol jail after n brief imprisonment. His man was discharged , it appearing from the evi dence that ho had been led into the alleged crooked transactions by other parties. A telegram was sent to ( Jlilef Scanlnn several dujs ago asking If Fulton was here , anil u | > on a reply in the atllrmativo boing-sent , another telegram was received asking that he bu arrested nt once. The Illinois ufllclul left for homo last evening with Fulton in custody. Fulton claims to be able to sliou his innocence of the charge , nnd oven says that ho is not wanted except as n witness ngalnst his alleged confederates. Don't fool with indigestion.

The match was for fAVJ a side , modified Hurlingliatn lules. The rise was thirty yards and the boundary was tifty yards. L. S.

Ful ford missed eight shots. Fulfora shot a slow and deliberate , but certain match and finally won with two birds to spare. Had Thomp son been able to retain his nerve and cool ness to the end ho would have won. Ho clearly outshot his opponent at the start and at ono time it looked like an easy victory.
