HOSTILE TO MUNICIPAL PLANT
Public- Not In Sympathy with Proposed
Electric Lighting Scheme ,
BUSINESS MEN WILL ENTER PROTEST
Slnny Tlilnk There I * JfothlnK to Be
( in In oil Yrltli n Good Chance of
the Clfy Hclnfc n hon
ing I'nrty.
The scheme of establishing a eo-called mu
nicipal electrle light plant In Coun
cil Bluffs , as proposed to the coun
cil by E. L. Draffen , president
of the Municipal Construction company
of Chicago , Is not looked upon with favor
by the business men and citizens generally
and when the matter comes up for final ac
tion hy the city council it Is understood
that n committee from the business men will
enter a protest. By those who have given
the proposition consideration It is regarded
as ono In which the city has everything to
lose with a very slight possibility of gainIng -
Ing anything. This conclusion Is drawn from
the fact that the city in order to secure
possession of the plant will be compelled
to earn sufficient from the commercial light
ing to pay the entire operating expenses ,
which , according to Draffen's figures , will
amount to nt least $18,000 per annum. Those
In a position to know say this amount can
not 'be earned , as the number of business
and private houses using electric lights Is
decidedly limited. Nothing Is known here
about the concern as to its standing or
responsibility and even Mayor Jennings and
other city officials have teen unable to learn
anything about the company.
The Merchants' and Manufacturers' asso
ciation has Investigated the plan proposed
by President Draffen and Is seriously op
posed to the city embarking upon any such
undertaking. <

Colonel F. C , Heed , the erstwhile owner of
the summer resort , Lake Manawa , went be
fore Justice Vlen yesterday and swore out
a search warrant for tbo Grand Plaza on
the grounds that liquor was being sold there
contrary to the laws of Iowa. The warrant
was placed In the bands of Constable Albertl ,
who , with two assistants , made a raid on the
place and seized all the beer and liquor there
was on hand and brought It to Justice Vlen's
office. Colonel Heed also filed an Informa
tion against a man named Saunders , who
was said to be running the beer garden nt
, the Plazn , and a warrant was Issued for his
; ' arrest on the charge of selling liquor contrary -
trary to law. Saunders managed to get
j wind of the Impending trouble and took the
, first car to Omaha , telling the people nt the
| I lake that ho had had all ho wanted ot run-
'
nine a place In Iowa.
| Not satisfied with this , Heed commenced
suit against Cole on an alleged claim ot
, $39.33 for wngea and gnrnlshccd C. U. Hnn-
nan ns receiver of the Lake Manawn Rail
way company , ns cashier of the First Na
tional bank and as a private citizen.
The hearing on the application of Colonel
Heed for an annulment of the contract be
tween Cole and Receiver Hannan was con-
tlned In the district court until next Tues
day. Colonel Reed's action yesterday la said
to be the result of an attempt to freeze him
out of his equity In Lake Manawa , at least
this Is what ho alleges Is meant by Receiver
Hnnnan's apppllcatlon to the court for per
mission to sell the property of the Lake
Manawa Hallway company.
POPULISTS AVIM , an.iuun FUSION.
Pnrtr Will Cling to Ileform Wlilmnt
Any Unworthy Accompniilnteiitn.
A. M. Hutchlnson , chairman of the popu
list county central committee , says the ma
jority of the people's party In Pottawat-
tomlo county la strongly opposed to fusion
in any shnpo , manner or form , and that it
repudiates the action of the so-called popu
list convention presided over by Weaver
at Des Atolnra last Wednesday. The nntl-
fustonlsts or mlddlo-of-thc-road populists
will hold thi'lr state convention nt Dc
Alolnes Wednesday , Aueust 30 , when Mr.
Hutchlnfion says a. party ticket will b
named and it will not bo n democratic
ono cither. In the call Issued by A. W. C.
Weeks of WIntorset , chairman of tbo popu
list Btato central committee , ho says :
"Tho dark cloud of fusion that has al
most obscured the Tight of the people's
party seems to be drifting away , revealing
to the anxious eyes of the reformers the
real situation and uncovering to the vision
of others the hideous results of political
miscegenation , and there Is now gleaming
In the heavens the radiant star of hope.
Let true populists once more gird on their
armor and rally around our standard un
dismayed and resolve to make one more
effort to start the party again toward the
proud and Influential Bosltlon It occupied
before It was seduced Jrom the straight
and narrow path of political virtue. There
is real assurance that wo are now about
to become what we ought to be , tbo hope
of the reform sentiment. So-called silver
republicanism has thrown off its mask and
acknowledges Its democracy. The fusion
populists now rely solely on the 'Integrity
of their allied. ' There IB no ono else to
uphold the banner of populism. Let us
not fall in our du ty. "
The county convention of the middle-of-
the-road populists of Pottawattamle county
to elect delegates to the state convention
