In an eastern city , but whoso owners nro
desirous of moving west on account of hav
ing outgrown their present quarters. As It
now Is , 20,000 bushels of corn arc used every
day In the manufacture of sugar and 730
men arc given employment. They want to
moyo and so enlarge their plant that they
can use 30,000 bushels of corn per day and
employ anywhere from 1,200 to 2,000 work
men. U Is understood that the claims of
Council Illuffs , together- with these of sev
eral other western towns , nre to ho presented
to the company next week and takenup for
consideration. . * " *
There Is no city In the vest that presents
any more natural attractions to rnlerrrltes
of this kind that are hunting locations tl.nu
Council Bluffs. It Is located lit the very
midst of the corn belt , where crops never
fall , BO that there will n.jver bo any lack of
the raw material. The crop ? of three of
the leading corn status In the union ran be
brought to the doors of the r.'flwry without

Bluffs Is absolutely tmex'jellod. Ton rail
roads enter the city from every direction ,
and make a desirable U cation for
a manufacturing enterprise of any-
kind. The new bridge ft the Omaha
Terminal company , the third now
spanning the river bct.vecm tlii two

facilities of Council Bluffs. The best water
In the world Is to bo had here , and there
Is a city ordinance which has been In opera
tion for a number of years past exempting
all manufacturing Institutions from city
taxation for the first flvo years. Surely
all these Inducements can not go for noth
ing In the eyes of the management of
the company. At any rule. Frank Trimble ,

Smallpox Is Not ICpUlcmli ! tind Is Not Likely
to llecoinc io.
An earnest effort has been made by certain
parties , and particularly by the local papers ,
to make It appear that Council Bluffs was
on the verge of a smallpox epidemic. For
several days the people were kept wrought
up with excitement , expecting every day to
hear that half the town was down In the
clutches of the dread disease. Many who
depended entirely on the local press for
their Information are doubtless In the same
condition still. But those who have been
able and have taken the pains to make an
Investigation , find that the sensations that
were sprung on the people were largely com
posed of wind , mid they aro. very "properly
disgusted with the sources of their misin
formation.
The fact Is that Council Bluffs has not
been and Is not now In any greater danger
from an epidemic of smallpox than any
other city that has such intimate connection
with Chicago , the fountain head of the
disease. Marshal Templeton _ and City
Physician Macrae have been b"cseged ! by
telephone with all sorts of rumors during
the last few days. To the credit of both
gentlemen It should be said that they have
spared no pains In looking up all such
rumors. Wherever there seemed any likeli
hood of there being anything that needed
attending to they promptly went at it and
did what was necessary. Ninety per cent
of these rumors wcro found to bo entirely
without foundation and the only harm they
did was to keep up the excitement. The
lack of developments of the last day
or two has tended to diminish the popular
anxiety , and if the dally papers will cease
telling the people that an epidemic may be
looked for at any mlnuto It may die out as
quietly as It was born.
There has been but ono case , and every
person who associated with the unfortunate
man before ho was quarantined haa been put
under lock and key. Since the solitary pa
tient was quarantined no ono except the city
physician has been allowed to como in or go
out. The offlcers who are stationed at the
quarantined houses do not even allow people
to pass by on the street , but compel them to
go around the block In order to avoid all
possible contamination. With all these pre
cautions being taken it seems reasonable to
suppose that the uinall pox scare Is Hearing
an end.
Supervisor Wadsworth has had the Job of
buying supplies for the people who are kept
under quarantine , and ho has had
his hands full. Ono woman sent him
word that she was out of everything to
eat , and accompanied her request for
eatables with an elaborate bill of
fare for him to fill. It Included canned
fruits and many other luxuries not usually
provided by the county for Its poor. The
kind-hearted supervisor furnished her
plenty of dried apples , but drew thu line
at canvas-back ducks and Now York
counts.

Flvo years ago today the Boston Store
began business In Council Bluffs. Those
years have all of them been years of suc
cess , and It Is only proper to call attention
nt this time to the reason for the great pro
gress made.
The first and most Important reason for
this success llos In the fact that the Boston
Store has always tried to give a dollar's
worth for every 100 cento and often a great
deal more.
The second reason Is because the Bos
ton Store spares no effort to let the people
lnow what they have to sell and make It
an Invariable rule to ALWAYS DO A LIT
TLE BUTTER THAN THE ADVERTISE

Mrs. Flnucauo died at 830 ; o'clock Thurs
day night at her homo on Fifth avenue , be-
between Sixth and Pearl streets , aged 97
years. She Is well known among her neigh
bors , many of whom have supplied her
meager wants for a number of years past.
For some little time she has been unwell ,
and her great age made It extremely Un
likely that she would ever recover.
Mrs. Flnticano was decidedly cecentrlc
bnd It wan thin fact as much as anything
that brought her HO prominently before the
public. All during the early years of her
life she had a horror of being burled at
the county's expense. As she grew
old she began to 'savo what little
money she had for the purpose of provid
ing lor a decent burial when the
tlmo Bhotild come. In Oece-nbcr , U'0 , she
had the requisite amount , and rho went tea
a local undertaker and paid him for nn $ SO
casket , a hearse and two carrl'igcs for the
funeral. She took the casket' horn- ' r.-.th her ,
and over since It has been : i prominent fen-
'ture among the scanty furniHiilnsa of her
onc-Vbomed cottage. Day and night she
would stand by the coffin with nil the ad
miration possible , fcellns that however
poorly she might fare while alive , her body
would bo laid away with proper ceremony
when she was through with It. She seemed
to take as much pride and eo-'ifort In the
sight of her casket as ordinary .pocplo vculd
in a fine traveling outllt "or a European
tour. February 1 was her birthday , and It
also marked the close of bur life.
The remains were laid In state In St.

will be burled this morning at 9 o'clock , Rov.

took up the authority for the appointment
of Commissioner Blount , citing numerous In
stances where such commissioners had been
appointed. He discussed at some length
Sir. Blount's report. If Hawaii , was an
nexed wo would have to annex San Do
mingo , or nny other Island which asked to
bo taken In , ho said. Wo were great
enough and big enough already. All wo
wanted was just taxation and commercial
freedom and we would bo the greatest na
tion In the world.
"The flag that floats above this capltol , "
ho concluded , "Is the emblem of honor
and justice , and we cannot afford that a
minister shall go unrebuked who has made
It an emblem of Intrigue and lawlessness ;
wo cannot allord to encourage spoliation
to darken the history of the United States
by acting as crusaders against a peaceful
country. Let Hawaii work out Its own sal
vation , and let the American republic , the
champion of progress , adhere to the tradi
tions of the past , justice to all and entan
gling alliances toward none. " ( Applause. )
At the conclusion of Mr. McCreary's
speech , Mr , Blair offered an amendment to
the McCreary resolution ns follows :
Rexolvcd , That the house approves the
recosnltlon of the existing provisional gov
ernment of Hawaii by the last and present
administrations , and will view with satis
faction the maintenance of a policy which
shall tend to consummate In the near fu
ture , with the consent of the people , the
annexation of these lalandH to this country ,
or some other arrangement which will fully
preserve and promote the mutual Interests
of both Hawaii and the United States.
11 ITT KEPLIKS TO Jl'CUEAHY.
Mr. Hltt , the leader of the republican mi
nority of the foreign affairs committee , re
plied to Mr. McCreary. Ho made the point
that the resolution of the minority consid
ered the vital questions which every ono
recognized In connection with the recant af
fairs In Hawaii. The attitude of the ad
ministration on the ques'tlon of annexation
was not yet /known. / He spoke of the
strength of the provisional governmentwhich
had maintained Itself for a year against all
opposition , and yet the pr3ent administra
tion had attempted hari-kari In a foreign
country fully capable of governing Itself. In
all questions of foreign Intervention ono of
two causes was recognized as necessary
to warrant the Intervention. Ono was self-
preservation , which warranted a government
In sustaining Its rights by foreign Interven
tions Itself. The other was to prevent or
overcome cruelty. But neither of these causes
operated to warrant our intervention with
the provisional government. On the con
trary , our Intervention was to restore a
throne to n queen whoso character had been
well known. It was In behalf of a woman
who had told Minister Willis , while dhtvers
ran down his back , that she would behead a
great number of her people.
Mr. Hltt was warmly applauded at his
severe arraignment of the queen.
Bomba , by his fierce cruelties , had awak
ened the horror of Europe , but his brutali
ties did not com par a with the Bartholomew's
day massacre , with which this queen In
tended to celebrate her return to the throne.
WILLIS OBEYED ORDERS.
Willis had acted like a soldier , and had
performed the loathsome duty assigned him.
His dispatches showed how his decency re
belled against the performance of such n
task. Ho pictured the condition of affairs
during the reign of terror , existing up to the
tlmo Minister Willis * purpose were disclosed ,
For 100 years the United States had been
first to greet a new republic and the last
to uphold a tottering monarchy. But now
this policy was changed. The gentleman
( Mr. McCreary ) had set forth the doctrine
for the first tlmo that republican Institutions
could not bo established or maintained until
a vote had been taken and the republic had
been approved by popular vote.
Mr. Hltt referred with pride to the busi
ness success of the Americans In Hawaii.
He concluded with a most terrific arraign
ment of Mr. Cleveland , saying :
"Think of It , think of It ! While ho had
In hand that letter from Minister Willis
reciting the story of the history of that bru
tal Interview with the queen In which she
demanded the holocaust of the property and
the slaughter of American citizens , ho sent
out still another order to overthrow the re
publican form of government and put back
that wretch In power. ( Republican applause. )
WILLIS' INSTRUCTIONS.
"Minister Willis' Instructions amounted
to this ; Go find that woman who'ja vice ,
folly und extravagance was checked by the
People last January ; te.ll her It Is the deter
mination of the president to restore her , ak
for amnesty for the revolutionists and then
20 to thu provisional government and got
It to relinquish Its power.
"That was the program and nil there was
of It. But 'the boit laid plans of mica and
Wflu gang aft agloe. '
"ThU romantic quean of the beautiful
I Alan da was not what she hail bceu pictured.
Mr Willis found her n monster Incarnate ,
and .Mr Cleveland has l-tyn censured mere
for nt-t giving to the pub4l4'that Utter of No
vember 1C , which wouM htrve given her true
character to the world than for all else In
connection with this trUolc disgraceful pro
ceeding. I ' I' '
"Tho further off you -fttMho arm swings n
mightier blow. The people had the right
to know In whoso lnlriMv > the power of the
United States was to'baMteeil ' to overthrow
a peaceful republic. " ' ' ' ( Republican ap
plause. ) * ' *
Mr. Hltt concluded the first portion of his
speech this evening Wllh"a optandld tribute
to the bravo and resftltil * men of his own
race In chnteo of the provisional government ,
who , when called upon" surrender In the
name of the United States/'instead of making
terms , piled up sand Itt * . proceeded to arm
themselves and prepared w die , If necessary ,
rather than forfeit thc property they hod
earned nnd surrender Iho rights given to
them by God.
Without concluding , at G o'clock .Mr. Hltt
yielded to a motion to adjourn and will con
clude tomorrow.

Scimlor I'clTer'n lEcsoliitlon Adopted After n
Short Uehuto.
WASHINGTON , Feb. 2. The day In the
senate was not an eventful one. After nn
hour's debate early In the session Senator
PefTcr'H resolution was adopted , calling upon
the secretary of the treasury for the names
of persons and corporations bidding for
United States bonds and the amount of their
bids and the rate of Interest. The resolu
tion of Senator Stewart denying the au
thority of the secretary to Issue the bonds
at this tlmo was then taken up , nnd con
sumed the remainder of the day.
Senator Vllas made the principal argu
ment In opposition to the resolution. The
senate adjourned without action on the reso
lution.
A joint resolution authorizing the secre
tary of the treasury to provide suitable
boxes for cases for the bronze madals
awarded exhibitors at the World's Colum
bian exposition was reported by Senator
Vllas and passed by the senate.
Senator Quay of Pennsylvania presented
an amendment embodying several new sec
tions to the tariff bill. These sections pro
vide for the free coinage of silver and for tlm
purchase of 14,125 ounces of line gold
montlily and the Issue of treasury notes In
payment therefor , and the repeal of eli ex
isting laws providing for the Issue of bonds.
PEFFER'S RESOLUTION.
The resolution of Senator Pcffer calling
upon the secretary of the treasury to Inform
the ( senate how many bids for bonds have
been received from persons and corpora
tions "and the names of the bidders , then
came up for consideration.
"It has never been the custom , " said Sen
ator Sherman , "to give the names of the In
dividual ! ) who make the offers. To do so
might be injurious to the public credit. "
" 1 want the names , " persisted Senator
Pelfer. "If It Is not proper to give them ,
let the .senate say BO. "
"What reason exists here why the names
of the bidders shall not bo given ? " Inquired
Senator Allen of Nebraska.
"In the first place , " replied Senator Sher
man , "because the roque.it has never been
made. The second reason is that it is not
good policy to disclose the private affairs
and business operations of private citizens.
I have no objection to thu names of the cor
porations who have made offers being called
for , although J doubt the expediency even
of that. " ,
Senator Harris of Tennessee could see no
reason why the names of _ persons could be of
any Interest to the somite.
The suggestion was niado by Senator
Stewart of Nevada that the names of the"
original purchasers might , be very Important
It the validity of the bonds should later be
questioned when they are presented for pay
ment.
In answer to his opponents. Senator Potter
said he ( Irmly believed that the financial af
fairs of the government" are not managed by
the government olllccrs , but by speculators
In New York City.
ADOPTED THE RESOLUTION.
Senator Cockrell declared to Senator Stew
art that the time would , never come when
the question of refusing Jo pay these bonds
would be raised. AfUT. Ofurther discussion
Senator Sherman wlthclrow his motion to
strike out and the Peffer resolution was
adopted without amendment.
The resolution of Senator Stewart , de
nying the authority of the secretary of the
treasury to Issue United States bonds at this
time , came up In regular order , with the
various amendments , providing that "the
money derived from the sale of such bonds
can not be lawfully applied for any other
than the purpose of redemption. "
To this amendment Senator Vllas pre
sented the following amendment : "Ex
cept In accordance with such acts of appro
priations by congress us may require the use
of same to discharge such appropriations. "
In speaking on the Stewart resolution ,
Senator Vllas complained that Its Introduc
tion had been delayed until the last hour ,
when it came as a blow at the public credit.
He argued that the resumption act not only
required the secretary of the treasury to
bo ready - in the first Instance to redeem
greenbacks , but to be thereafter always
ready to redeem them. The redcemablllty
and convertibility of the greenbacks was to
be ever continuing and never ceasing.
"Congress may , by any act of appropria
tion , " said Mr. Vllas , "direct the secretary
of the treasury to pay out any portion of the
money In the treasury , whether derived from
the sale of bonds or not. Whenever con
gress authorizes the payment out of the
treasury of any money not otherwise appro
priated. If there Is no. other money In the
treasury except the gold , ho thereby Is au
thorized to make the payment from that
fund. "
TELLER'S INTERRUPTION.
"There h a question , " Interrupted Sen
ator Teller , "as to whether the gold reserve -
servo Is not money otherwise appropriated.
When congress says to the secretary of the
treasury he may for a specific purpose borrow
money , there Is no obligation upon him ;
and It Is breach of public duty on his part
It ho uses the money for any other pur
pose. "
"There Is no Epcclfic amount of the reserve -
servo fund , " said Senator Vllas. "There
never was n limit fixed to It. Whatever
congress directs the secretary of the treas
ury to ilo ho must do. His duty Is lo obey
congress. Congress Is the board of direc
tors of this treasury bank , and ho Is their
agent. "
At 4:115 : the clerk of the house appeared
with the tariff bill , nnd Senator Vllas sus
pended until It was duly reported to the
senate. By request of Senator Voorhees it
was laid before the senate , and on his mo
tion referred to the finance committee with
an order that 2,000 copies be printed at once
for use of the senate.
Resuming his argument. Senator Vilas
said he would have considered the secretary
of the treasury as unworthy of belief If ho
had not nt this tlmo , after repeated attempts
to arrive ut some Bolullon of the question ,
taken proper steps 'to. ' 'fortify the treasury
against the perils whlolrboset It. The trou
ble with the treasury now , ho wont on , does
not arise t > o much from the appropriations
which have been matlpul'S , It arises from two
other measures , both ofcwhlch , were enacted
In the Fifty-first congress , when the repub
licans held overwlle'lmfng power In both
houses of the government , ono of these meas
ures being the McKlnlcy law , by which the
revenues are diminished until they are In-
sulflclent to meet the appropriations , and the
other was the Sherman law , by the opera
tion of which disaster'was , precipitated upon
the country.

WASHINGTON , Feb. 2. The Joint eon-
Brcsslonal committee , conRlsllitK of mem-
berH of each bouse of congress , appointed
to Inve.'UIgnto the personnel of the navy ,
tins bcRtin Us preparations for the work
In hand , nnd a 'determination IH exprcy-trd
to make the Investigation ns thorough nr
may seem practicable , with the hoiie of
belnff nlile to insike some recommendation
which will remedy such cvllfi UH may
exist. The nocd of reorsnnlzatlim to wliloh
thlx Investigation looUs IH not new. Its Im
portance has long been recognized by the
Navy department nnd by congress , but It
has remained unacted upon bvcmipo of u
want of time and n failure to secure con
certed action. It , Is proposed to try to Und
u proper means for the organization of
both the staff nnd line of the navy , ns well
an to provide n means of promotion for thu
enlisted men , and lo Und a means other
than that of seniority of service for secur
ing promotion.
The advocates of n change In the regula
tion controlling the line otllrers , Including
the Ts'avy department olllclals , contend that
a radical modification of existing laws must
be made to prevent the personnel from be
coming totally Inelllclenl from congestion
and paralysis. They say , Ibal owing to
various muses , the retirements uru very
slow , ami chances for promotion few. Tln-y
argue from this , and other similar Illus
trations , that the present system of promo
tion by senlorlly of rank , only prevents lit
many Imitanccs the promotion or many olll-
cers who should be advanced In rank on
account of merit , and the principal end In
view with the committee will IK- the ilnd-
Ing of a means of bringing about a change
In this respect. There will also be an effort
to provide a moans of promotion of the
enlisted men of the navv , as It Is believed
thai this will prove a strong Incentive tu
more elllclent service. Il Is pointed out
that the chances of preferment for this
class of our seamen nre fewer than In many
European countries.
The committee will go Into these and
other uuestlons , and hopes to bo able to
report a bill which will receive the sanc
tion of the Navy department and congress
and thus become a law.
The joint committee In composed of Pen-
ators llutler , Illackburn and Hale , and
KeprosentatlvoH Mercer , Mooney and
Wadsworth.
