cil at the session next Monday night.
Iho Iowa exposition commissioners have
urged Mr Wright to take the Initiative In
arousing the interest of the people of this
city In the matter. At the meeting Tues
day night committees will be appointed to
make the necessary arrangements The
commissioners expect that the delegation
from this city and county will furnish at
least ono uniformed band for the parade
and other features that may be deemed ap
propriate Among other things It has been
biiggcsted that n lloat he prepared with a
miniature fac simile of the Pottawattamle
Wigwam on It and several real live In
dians could bo boriowed from the number
now at the exposition to accompany it on
the morning of the parade Another sug
gestion made Is tint the people from this
county bo supplied on Iowa day with a
distinctive badge to be worn In the parade
I'x-Governor Packard and n. 13. Markley
of thu Iowa Exposition commission were
In the city yesterday confertlng with Mr
Wright and they state that advlcrs from
all over the state Indicate that thousands
of Iowa people will be in attendance at the

anil the commissioners arc hopeful that It

mle county In the parade and on the ex

that an effort be made to get the McKinley

The fire which destroyed the extensive
livery barns and feed stables of Mavor Vic
tor lenn'ngH ' Th imlay night was the hottest
conflagration that the fire department has
been called on to light since the memorable
Iiie > of the winter of iso.'i when several larfo
Implement houses on Main stieet were con
sumed bv tlames Owing to the Inflammable
nature of the hay and btraw , tons of which
were stacked up in the bains and sheds , the
flrr spread rapidly and by the time the fire
men reached the premises the entire yard
and buildings , which cover almost a whole
block at Hioidway mil Henton btieet , were
a seething mass of ( lames It was only by
the hardest work that Wheeler S. Hercld's
cold storage house on the opposite side of
the street was saved , and the scorched ap
pcaranco of the building yesterday showed
how close It had been to going up In smoke-
Mayor Jennings' grocciy store being built
of brick escaped the llaraes although the
windows on the side next the yard were
broken bj the heat and the wooden shed In
which the oil tanks stood was burned to
the ground In this little wooden shed were
stoicd two galvanized tanks full of oil and
although the solder on the tanks was melted
the oil In ' .oino peculiar manner failed to
explode The wooden Jacket was burned off
a largo can of gasoline standing In this shed ,
but It also failed to explode
Search among the ruins and debris yes
terday sho.ved that eight horses had per
ished In the llames. Two of these were the
pioperly of M Clark of Boomer township.
while two others , thoroughbreds , belonged
to a vcteiinary surgeon mimed Miller of
Shelby. Thu other four animals wore owned
by Mayor Jennings , among the number
being one of his black carriage team , the
los > s of which Mr Jennings regrets almost
more than anything dae The horse was cut
I lee e at the commencement of the lire , but
became frightened and crazed and ran back
from the street Into ihe tlames and perished.
\mong the vohliles burned was the hand
some new phaeton which the mayor had re
cently purchased for the use of his family.
Mayor Jennings figured his loss yesterday
at something over J4.000. with * 1 600 Insur
ance Ho contemplates having the barns
anil sheds rebuilt as coon as possible. Mayor
Jennings VMUS loud In his praise of the man
ner in which the fire department kept the
flip from spreading to the surrounding
property.

It , as a natural result of the unequal dis

of Us growth. The estimates of condition
bhow a very wide range in different counties
and distiicts , the llguies ranging from lit
to 120 per cent The average of all the
estimates of condition Is i > 6 per cent for the

Douglas and Pearl streets. Thousands of
dollars worth of accretion land has crum
bled and fallen Into the river , and the
current still Is making serious Inroads
The velocity of the current Is very great ,
and Is thrown with force agilnst the Iowa
bank by a big samlbir which has formed
on the Nebraska side of the river , extend
ing fiom a point above the Combination
brldgo nearly to the Omaha bridge The
current hits the Jiar and then runs In a
direct line to the Iowa side , striking the
bank most severely between Pierce and
Pearl streets
At this point forty feet of land has fallen
Into the river , and the prospects are that
a great deal more will bo washed away
The1 river has nearly eaten Its way to the
dog pound property , and Poundmaster
Crulckshank has removed the south fence
of the pound to save the lumber before It
i might fall Into the stream Not much bank
I remains between the water and the llttlo
house where the uutaxed ilogo have been
Incarcerated
At the foot of Pearl street close to the
river Is a big Ice house , the property of
Boyer & Lockhart. This structure is
threatened The bank Is cracked all
around the south slilo of the Ice house.
The cracks In the soil extend within llvo
feet of the structure , anil the situation Is
critical. The only thing that has saved
. the Ice bouse thus long Is several barges
and a sand boil which are moored about
[ forty feet up stream. These boats throw
the current out to some extent anil keep It
from hitting the bank opposite the Ice
house with full force
The hank Is crumbling at an alarming
rate , and every few moments can bo heard
! | a loud splash as a section of soil Is swept
away Hoys with sticks amuse themselves
prying chunks of cracked earth from the
bank.
The bank at the foot of Pearl street , he-
fore the river began to cut , had a gradual
Blopo at the point whcro the old pontoon
brldgo used to .span the river. People
who used this approach years ago would
not know the place Thu hank has a sheer
drop of twenty fee * The bank abutting
the pound property has a drop of about
fort ) feet The river is said to bo thirty -
five feet deep on the Iowa side and the
strong current makes easy work on the
accretion land

I'ANA , 111 , Sept 0 Ocorge V IVnwell ,
president of the I'enwcll Mining companv ,
gave notice today that he would open his
mine Monday , but would pay only J5 cents
per ton , the price the non-union negroi s
are being paid at the Sprlngside mine. He
said.
said."I
"I prefer white miners if they will deseit
the union , otherwise I must operate the
mine with negroes and foreign labor "
The mlncis say they will not accept his
offer and will not work under the scale of
33 cents , neither will they desert the union
This means the Importation ot several
hundred additional mgioes and the retention
of 2CO deputies to guard them.
Captain D II Hartu , the controlling
stockholder In the 1'ana Mining compaiiv ,
today sa'd ' "We I'nnn operators are op
posed to the union as a national body dic
tating to us howwe shall run our biiPlness
and wo propose , unless they will accept
our terms , to put In negroes " The captain
virtually admitted that the object of the
I'ana operators Is to break the union , the
price not being so much In question as the
union.
Piesident Cravens of the miners today
said "Tho miners will never accept the
I'enwell offer , ns the result would be a gen
eral dissolution of the union , Just what the
opeiators have all the time been working
j for , and would provoke trouble between the
I miners and operators of not only Illinois
j ' hut Indiana , Ohio and Pennsylvania , for
the operators would bo compelled to cut
i wages In order to miei the competition of
. the four big I'ana mines This Is a question
I of life and death to the miners' union or-
I ganUatlon and we will fight It out on this
line If It takes all winter"
