( Mayor Jcnnlncs , owing to the number of
complaints that have reached him of the
reckless manner In which some riders ot
bicycles "scorch" on the public streets , has
had nn ordinance drafted , which It duly en
forced , ho ibcllovcs will , do away with the
nuisance. The incasur.o is entitled : "An
ordinance regulating the use ot bicycles In
the city ot Council Bluffs and prohibiting
the throwlnc of articles Injurious to rubber
or pneumatic tires In the public streets and
prescribing penalties for the violation
thereof. "
The first section ot the mennuro makes it
unlawful for the riding of bicycles on side
walks. Section two makes It unlawful to
ride a bicycle on a public street , avenue
or alley at n greater speed than ten miles
an hour. The next section provides that be
tween the hours of sunset nnd sunrise it
shall bo unlawful for any person to ride
a bicycle -within the city limits "without ,
having firmly attached to the.front of said
bicycle a lighted lamp. " The fourth section
Is Intended to protect the bicyclist and reads
as follows :
"It shall be unlawful for any person to
throw , drop , or place In or upon any street ,
avenue , alley or public place within the
city limits , any glass , crockery , nails , tacks-
pieces of metal , wire or other articles which
would bo liable to Injure the wheels or tires
of 'bicycles ' or other vehicles which have
wheels with rubber or pneumatic tires. "
The penalty prescribed for violating any
of the provisions of this ordinance Is fixed
at a fine not exceeding $25. In former
ordinances bicycles and tricycles have been
treated nllke , but In framing this one no
mention Is made of tricycles , so as to give
the little folk , who alone now use such ma
chines , the privilege ot riding on the side
walk and exempting them from being com
pelled to have lighted lamps In cnso they
are out riding after sunset.

Suit Mkely to lie Dropped.
It Is now likely that the suit brought by
State's Attorney General MUton Rcmloy
to restrain A. W. Smith from digging a
ditch for the alleged purpose of draining
Noble's lake will bo dropped , as it appears
that the proceedings were brought under a
misconception of the real facts In the mat
ter. County Attorney Kllpack yesterday re
ceived a letter from the attorney general In
which ho writes- :
"If the parties do not Intend to make n.
drain which taps the lake proper , the state
cannot afford to Interfere , unless the con
struction ot this drain is such as would
necessarily crawfish to the lako. A party
owning land adjoining a meander line could
not construct a drain so close to the meander
fine that the water would break through.
The state would have a right to require the
banks ot the lake to bo kept unimpaired. "
County Attorney Kllpack In company with
Supervisor John Matthews , when the case
waa called to his attention , Inspected the
ditch nnd found that It was at least sixty
to eighty rods from the meander line or
banks ot the lake proper and that Smith
was constructing It for the purpose solely
of draining the water off hla land which had
boon flooded by the recent rise ot the Mis
souri. These facts will now bo laid before
the attorney general by < Mr. Kllpack and ho
is of the opinion that the suit will bo
dropped.

NI3W YORK , July 24. A special to the
Herald from Washington says : Reports re
ceived by Adjutant General Corbln from the
colonels of the now volunteer regiments show
that about one-third of the provisional army
has been enlisted , bringing the total up to
more than 4,600. Two regiments , Colonel
I'ettlt's and Colonel Hell's , are moro than
two-thirds full. Tbo regimental recruiting
officers will begin active work thla week. In
dependently of the recruiting stations , and
from reports General Corbln la encouraged
to believe that the remaining 10,000 men will
bo secured within a fortnight.
The authorities are building great hopes
on this now array , which will have been
organized In such a short period , and
whether its services will bo required In the
Philippines or not it Is the president's ex
pectation that it will become part of the
permanent military establishment. Even If
peace U made soon it is estimated by offi
cials that with the new dependencies we will
require a standing army of at least 80,000
men , which will l > o tbo united strength of
the regular forces and the provisional army.
U is largely for this reason that the presi
dent determined to appoint only men with
military records to otllcor these now regi
ments. The politicians were given to under
stand that they must confine- their candl-
I dotes to men In the regular or volunteer
! service whoso military record * were without

antined on board ship near there with the
Astatic plftRUo on the vessel. One of UIOEO
letters , apparently smuggled ashore , was
from the senator himself. He states that
the vlctlms aboard were Chinese from Hong

There has been no. cablegram from' him

casional cable mcfeagcs have been received

on 'horseback around Manila. Ho was with

COATMAKERS OUT ON A STRIKE

Syntcm.
NEW YORK , July 24. U was said at the
headquarters of the Brotherhood of Tailors
today that between 5,0(10 ( and 7,000 coatmak-
ers in Greater Now York went on n strlko
this morning. The strike of the coatmakers
has necessarily thown out the basteru , trim
mers nnd others , as they have no coats to
work upon. The strike seems to have been
precipitated by the action of the pressers , to
the number of 100 , who last week made a
demand for piecework , ten hours a day anil
20 per cent increase In the scale. The coat-
makers are opposed to the piecework sys
tem and they nro nt cross-purposes with the
pressVrs. Harris Filler , secretary of the In
dependent Coatmnkcrs' union , said that the
coat-making shops In Greater New York had
practically stopped work. By striking the
coatmakers , It was said , could force the
pressers to desist from their demands , par
ticularly as to piecework.

BOISE , Tdaho , July 24. Word from
Lowlston over the long-distance telephone
Is to the effect that While the Indians on
the Nez Perccs reservation have outwardly
submitted to the agreement of their chiefs
to permit work on the Northern Pacific
grant through the reservation to proceed ,
the young bucks continue to manifest an
ugly spirit , which la brutalized by liquor
furnished by white men. They threaten to
swoop down on the graders again as they
did n few days ago , this time not to scare
them off , but to murder. There are no
soldiers there and the worklngmon have
little protection. Deputy marshals at the
scene report that trouble of a serious
nature seems unavoidable unless' liquor can
bo kept away from the young bucks or a
military force is stationed to protect the
graders.

DENVER , Colo. , July 21. The attempt to

HnllroniN rontrlliittt * to Fair.
ST. LOUIS , Jury 21. The largest individ
ual subscription received for the World's
fair fund up to date wns announced today
by the -Missouri Pacific railroad , which sub
scribed $85,000 to the $5,000,000 being' raised
for a stock company to manage the fnlr.
The Burlington system announces a sub
scription of $55,000. Nearly all the other
roads terminating In the United States have
Informally stated the amount they will sub
scribe , but In some Instances formal action
Is retarded by the absence of prominent
otllclnls from the city. It can , however , bo
definitely announced that the subscriptions
from the railroads terminating In St. Louis
wlir exceed $600,000 and promises have been
secured from other transportation Interests
which Justify the committee In relying on
$1,000,000 from this source.

TOLEDO. 0. , July 24. The estimate of
$1,000,000 Toss In the C. H. & D. elevator
Hro was today found to bo correct. The
Insurance will not cover the loss on the
building by over $90,000. The grain In
surance Is $474,000 , while the value of the
wheat was about $830,000. It Is doubtful If
over 10 per cent of the grain will bo navod.
In addition to the loss on the elevator five
freight cars were burned , valued at $12,000.
