COUNCIL MEETING TtlNIGHT
City Fathers Will Wrestle Again with th
Lighting Qtwjtion.
DIFFERENCE OF OPINION AMONG THEM
nnnlncKN .Men Opponcil to the
rronoNltluii for ilic Cltr to Own
nnd Oucrntc ltd Ov > u
I'lnnt.
Much Interest centers In the meeting of the
city council tonight , as the aldermen are
expected to take eomo definite action re
garding the municipal electric lighting plant
proposition. What this action will bo
no ono nppearo to know , not even the city
fathers themselves , as thcro is a difference
of opinion among them. Alderman Casper
and possibly ono or two others of the city
fathers have made up their minds that the
city should own Its own electric lighting
plant and that there la no tlmo like the
present to Install ono. They are firmly
of the opinion that If the city was In a
position to enter the commercial lighting
field It could by such means derive a suffi
cient revenue to pay all the operating ex
penses of n lighting plant.
Others of the aldermen and the mayor do
not look with favor on the proposition of the
city going Into the electric lighting business
at the present time. They hold that the
revenue from supplying electric lighting to
the citizens would In no way be anywhere
near stiluclent to meet the expenses of run
ning such a plant. Then again , they are
opposed to binding the city to a fifteen-year
contrnc1 ; to pay a certain price for the city
lighting when the chances are , they claim ,
that In a few years from now the cost of
production may be considerably less , and
If such should be the case the city ought to
be able to take advantage of euch conditions
and not be bound under an Ironclad contract
compelling It to pay a much higher price for
its street lighting.
These who are opposed to the city en
tering into any such contract , which It
would have to do In order to get a plant In
stalled by cither of the thrco Chicago con
cerns which have submitted plans , take the
stand that while the Chicago firms
are amply protected In every way
possible the city Is not. They
argue that In the event of the city
failing to derive sufficient Income from the
commercial lighting of the city to pay the
operating expenses of the plant and having
no fund from which it could draw to meet
any deficiency , the city would , according to
the contract entered Into with the firm
building the plant , be compelled to surrender
It. In this event the city would bo out
whatever money It had paid on It and the
firm building the plant would be In posses
sion of a fifteen-year contract to supply the
city with electric lighting for the streets at
a stipulated price and in addition would pos
sess a twenty-five-year franchise.
It was stated yesterday that a committee
from the Merchants' and Manufacturers' as
sociation would be present at the meeting
tonight to protest against the council awardIng -
Ing the contract for the Installation of an
electric plant on the terms contained in the
different bids before the city. With the
city in Its present financial condition the
majority of the business men of the city
favor a short-time contract with the local
company at the price submitted In Its bid.
This contract , they claim , should not ex
ceed five years , and then If the city Is In a
position to erect a plant of Its own It woulfl
then bo time enough.
One of the leading business men of the
city , In discussing the matter yesterday , ex
pressed his opinion as follows : "In all these
propositions for the Installation of a munic
ipal lighting plant to bo operated by the
city Itself no account seems to mo to have
been taken of anything but the sum to bo
appropriated for street lighting. It should
not. In my opinion , bo forgotten that all
the money which Is appropriated for street
lighting must go to the payment of the In
terest and principal of the bonds for which ,
as I understand the proposition , the plant Is
to bo bonded. No part of this appropriation
will or can become available for the payment
of the expense of operating and maintaining
the plant. This expense will amount , ns
the different engineers estimate , to from
$15,000 to $16,000 a year. Therefore this
entire amount will have to bo derived from
the earnings from commercial lighting. This
I am told Is several thousand dollars more
than the local company at present derives
from Its private consumern and I cannot
for n moment see how the city , with the old
company still In the field against It , expects
to make more than the local company did.
H Is In my private opinion a most precarious
proposition for the city to entertain nnd I
cannot bellevo that the aldermen will porl-
ously entertain It. In the event , however ,
of their doing so I do not believe the people
of this city will vote to give the firm secur
ing the contract a franchise. It was a
great thing when the legislature passed that
law providing that city councils hod no
power to bestow franchises on corporations
or private Individuals until submitted to the
people. "
Mayor Jennings la openly opposed to the
proposition and when asked yesterday what
action the council Intended taking tonight ,
said ho had no moans of knowing , but hoped
that the question would bo disposed of one
way or another. Ho said : "I am opposed
to this proposition of the city owning and
operating Its lighting plant under the
scheme now before the council. It Is too
much risk for the city to assume at present.
In addition to the risk the city takes of
losing the property before It Is fully paid
for and of being thereby tied up In n long
time contract for lights nt what may prove
to be an excessive- price , the cost of the
plant , as I figure It , would be unreasonably
high. It has. been shown that In the fifteen
years which this contract Is to cover the
city will pay out for 150 lights nnd the
lighting plant nbout $136.000 more than the
cost of an equal number of lights at the
price at which the present company offers
to furnish them. This means that nt the
end of fifteen years the city will have paid
as much for Its lighting as n private cor
poration would charge nnd would have paid
In addition $136,000 for nn electric lighting
plant that by the tlmo the city owns it will
bo fifteen years old. Then again I have been
ehown figures which If correct show that
the plant which the plans and specifications
contemplate can constructed for $85,000
at the outsldo , while the lowest bid before
the council Is $104.000. This Is too great
a discrepancy. Under this plan the city
would pay for a fifteen-year-old plant about
$51.000 more than the present value of such
a plant. No , I am opposed to the city going
Into any such a deal. " .

SIOUX O1TY , Oct. 1 ( Special. ) Now
that President McKlnlcy has promised to
spend Sunday In this city during hla tour
of the west the people of Sioux City arc
getting ready to make the stay of the pres
ident as enjoyable as possible. They rather
regret that ho will bo hero on the day of
rest , as they would like to have hac ? him
see the metropolis of western town when
business was on and when crowds could
have lined the streets to do honor to their
chief executive , but still It Is anticipated
If the railways glvo nny kind of rates a
great many will como to this city on that
day. Already Invitations have been Issued
to the president asking him to attend one
or other of the churches. No effort at
special services will bo arranged , as It la
understood ho prefers to worship In sim
plicity. Various committees will bo n
pointed to see that Mr. McKlnlcy and the
other distinguished members of his party
are shown the sights and generally make
the visit ns pleasant ns possible. He may
arrive hero late Saturday evening , and that
being the case there doubtless will bo BOIUO
kind of an evening demonstration.
Sioux City's business men are going to
start out at once to ralso the $50,000 pledged
from the citizens toward securing the In
ternational Packing company for Sioux City.
They look upon It as the best bit of good
fortune that has struck the town In a long
tlmo , and they will ralso the necessary
money without nny doubt. It was an ex
pensive thing to get this packer , but all
say the outlay Is well worth It. The Sioux
City Stock Yards company put up nearly
$500,000 In property , stock and cash to secure
the prize , and now It has been landed the
people of Sioux City iproposo to do their
share. The Cudahys , who operate a big
plant In Sioux City , had a great deal to do
with securing this powerful opposition , but
It was agreed when the former put In Its
big plant In Sioux City that another packer
should bo secured as soon as possible. The
new company proposes to employ 1,400 men
and nearly all of these will have to come
from other places , as at present nearly all
the laboring men of Sioux City are at work.
Things never were in euch good condition
In Sioux City.
Sioux City Is looking forward with con
siderable anxiety to the next term of the
supreme court of Iowa. The town's school
district has $50,000 tied up In a law suit
which Is to come before that body In Octo
ber , and while the city Is on the top of the
heap so far an adverse , ruling by the court
would have a serious effect upon the edu
cational Institutions of the city. In the
winter of 1898 the Homo Savings bank of
Sioux City closed Its doors. Its cashier , H.
S. Hubbard , was treasurer of the Inde
pendent school district of Sioux City and
had $50,000 of the school funds In the bank.
An Investigation eoon showed that the bank
could not pay much over 25 per cent on Its
deposits and later 'in , tfto year a suit was
filed In the courts against Hubbard and "his
bondsman , the American Surety company
of New York , for the full amount of the
claim. The case came up for trial and was
bitterly contested. After being on trial for
several days and the president of the com
pany having come from New York to look
after the case for his corporation , a decision
was entered for the school district In ths
sum of $52,500. Then It was that an appeal
was taken to the supreme court and now
the action has been advanced on the docket
for hearing at this time. There Is llttlo
doubt In the minds of local attorneys that
the lower court will bo affirmed In Its de
cision , "but the Board of Education and the
taxpayers of Sioux City will breathe easier
decided once for
after the case has been
all. The money will be forthcoming just
as as the dccreo is entered , but not
until that time.

What a Little Faith Did
r FOR MRS. ROCKWELL.
[ LITTER TO URS. TINKtlAU NO , 9,884 ]
"I was a great sufferer from fctnalo
weakness and hnd no strength. It wns
impossible for mo to attend to my
household duties. I had tried every
thing and many doctors , but found no
relief.
" My sister advised mo to try Lydin
E. 1'inlcham's Vegetable Compound ,
which I did ; before using all of ono
bottle I felt better. I kept on with it
and to my great surprise I am cured.
All who suffer from fcmalo complaints
should give it a trial. " Mils. KOCK-
WELI , , 1209 S. DIVISION ST. , GBAND

From a Grateful Newark Woman.
" When I wrote to you I was very
sick , hud not been well for two years.
The doctors did not seem to help me ,
and one said I could not live three
months. I had womb trouble , falling ,
ulcers , kidney and bladder trouble.
There seemed to be such a drawing
and burning pain in my bowels that I
could not rest anywhere. After using
Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Com
pound and Sanative Wash and follow
ing your advice , I feel well again and
stronger than ever. My bowels feel as if
they had been made over new. With
many thanks for your help , 1 remain ,
