City Clerk Phillips formally notified Street
Supervltor John M. Harden jeaterdny aft
ernoon that the city council would like to
have him hand In bis resignation before
next .Monday evening. t'p to last night,
however. Harden bad not decided whether
to comply with tho request of the council
or not. As the matter now stands Harden
has iomewhat the better of It. Under the
ordinance creating the office the street com-
mits.oner or supervisor cannot be dlschurg J
except for cause and not until after charge!
have been preferred and an Investigation
held, If so demanded.
The Investigation held Wednesday night
by the council resulted In a dismissal of
the charges filed by Alderman Huber, chair
man of the streets and alleys committee,
and Harden was practically exonerated o(
all wrongdoing or incompetency. Now,
should he refuse to tender his resignation,
as requested by the council, the latter body
cannot summarily dismiss htm. In order
to remove him from the office It would be
necessary to flic another batch of charges,
hold an Investigation and find him guilty of
them. This, It is conceded, would look
rather strange, following as It would the
acquittal of Harden Wednesday night.
Harden, when teen yesterday, was inclined
to refuse to file his resignation. He said
"It certainly does not look fair to me. The
council found that the charges made by
Huber wero without foundation and ac
quitted me. Why, then, should It want
me to roslgn the position? If the council Is
so anxious for harmony, why docs It not
request Alderman Huber to resign as chair
man of the streets and alleys committee?
If the charges had not been dismissed when
they were and I had been forced to put in
evidence to rebut the testimony of Huber's
witnesses there would have been some dls
closures that would have been far from
complimentary to the chairman of the
streets and alleys committee. Unlets he
gets tho man he wants in as street com
mlssloncr my successor. If I should resign
vlll have the same trouble that I ex- !
perlenced." j

The news of tho death of Major K. A.
Conslgney of Avoca Thursday night at
Manltou, Colo., after a short Illness, came
c3 a great surprise and shock to bis many
friends In this city, where he has taken
a prominent part in republican politics
in Pottawatomie county, and he was a
familiar figure at all the gatherings and
conentlons of the party In this vicinity.
Eugene A. Conslgney was the son of An
tolne P. L. Conslgney and grandson of LouU
do Conslgney, a French voyageur, who
ccttled In Montreal, Canada, In 1790. Com
pelled to flee from Canada In 1S37, as a re
sult of the civil war there, Antolne Con
slgney settled In Vermont and thero mar
ried, but after the cessation of hostili
ties returned to Canada, where, at St.
Cesalre, Lower Canada, E. A. Conslgney,
his eldest son, wan born, May 15, 1841.
At the death of his father, E. A. Coji3lgney
was compelled to relinquish his studied
for tho legal profession and cuter upon
a business career. He became connected
with the firm of Jewett & Harnett In Swan
ton. Vt., representing tho interests of his
cousin, the Junior partner, who was serv
ing lu tho union army In the war of tho
rebellion.
Ho was offered a commission by Colonel
Barney, but preferred to enlist as a pri
vate In Company M, First Vermont vol
unteers. With his regiment he was Im
mediately ordered to tho front and waH
In the battles and skirmishes of Fairfax,
Drancsvllle, Winchester, Lynchburg, Get
t)sburg, Fisher's Hill, Wilderness, Cold
Harbor, Petersburg, Five Forks and Ap
pomattox. Ho was present at Lee's sur
render and as adjutant of his regiment
led the last cavalry charge of the eastern
urmy. He was promoted from private to
sergeant after his first tew months of
service. Ho received a commission as
second lieutenant and for meritorious
service on the battlo field was promoted
to first lieutenant and later adjutant of
the regiment.
At the closo of the war he came to Iowa,
sottltng In Dubuque, but two years later
removed to Cascade. Ja., where ho was
married to Miss Casslo flenham, who sur
vives him. In 1S72 he removed to Avoca,
where he engaged In tho grain business.
He was a member of tho Knights ot
Pythias, Grand Army of tho Republic and
Loyal Legion and was at ono time depart
ment commander of the Grand Army of the
Ilepubllc in Iowa.
Tho funeral, notice of which will be
given later, will be held from tho family
residence In Avoca, to which place the
remains will be brought from Colorado.

H. A. Wlckham, who was awarded the
contract for the paving of the group of
streets embraced In the third resolution at
the meeting of the city council Wednesday
night, denies in toto tho charge made by
George F. Hushes, one of the unsuccessful
bidders, that his bid was surreptitiously
opened and his figures made known to him
(Wlckham). City Clerk Phillips, in whose
custody the bids were. Is fomewhat indig
nant that his Integrity should be questioned
after his many years service with the city.
The bids were locked up In the vault in the
clty clerk's office and were not disturbed
until tnken by Mr. Phillips to the council
meeting. He scouts the Idea that any per
son could have tampered with the bids.
Wlckham (.173 he obtained information as
to what would probably be the bid of
Hughes In a perfectly legitimate manner
through a third person who claimed to be
figuring with Hughes on the contract.
While the contract was awarded to Wlck
ham on hU bid, the council failed to deter
mine whit kind of brick would be used. Al
derman Drown suggested that Gale-burg
block with Council Uluffs brick bottom
course be uacd, properly owners on
Mynster street and Harrison street have
filed petitions asking that In the event of
these streets being paved this year
Council Bluffs brick bo used for both top
and bottom courses. The Interested prop
erty owners on Harrison street asked that
the paving on their street be put over un
til next year. The council will meet Monday
night, at wblcb time the kind of brick will
be selected and the contract as drawn up
by the city attorney submitted.
The contract for the curbing of the streets
thus ordered Improved will be also let at
the meeting Monday night. Nelson & Olsen
of this city are the lowest bidders on arti
ficial stone curbing, their figures being 26
cents per lineal foot for cash and 2"H cents
for certificates.

DES MOINES, Aug. 3. (Special Tele
Erara.J The Continental Assurance Associa
tion of North America Is still doing bus
Inesa In Iowa, thereby defying an edict of
State Auditor Merrlam debarring It from
the state. The state auditor's department
Is In receipt of Information to tho effect
that three agents of the Continental asso
ciation have been soliciting buslnesi for
the company In this state since July 30, the
date Upon which the auditor notified the
home offices of the association at Hammond,
Ind.. that tho company must cease to do
business In Iowa until It could comply with
the laws of the state. The ground for
debarment was violation of the statutes pro
hibiting the .ollcltatlon or Issuance of health
insurance in IdVa.
The notification was made by registered
letter and there Is no rcaeou to tnink tho
company did not receive It. In fact a tel
egram from the company several days ago
asking for the specific charges ugalnst the
association Is evidence that the notification
was received. The state auditor today cnt
notices to each of these ngcnt3 calling their
attention to the fact that their certificates
aro revoked and have been ever since July
30 and that in pursuing th course which
they have they arc liable to a severe pen
alty under the Iowa laws. Section 1717 of
the codo provides as a penalty for this of
fense a fine of not less than J 100 nor more
than 51. COO or Imprisonment lu tho county
Jail not exceeding 0110 year, or both fine
and ImpriKonment.
W-Ntcm Union Trie to llilnln.
The Western Union Telegraph company.
today asked the state executive council for
a hearing lu the matter of the omlsMon of
returns for taxes on the Chicago, Burlington
& Qulncy telegraph system, operated by the
Western Union. A representative of the
Western Union culled at the state house
today and informed a member of the coun
ell that the company desired to be heard
before the council took action on the mat
ter. The Western Union claims that the
system has been taxed as a part of the
"Q" railroad system and therefore should
not be taxed to the Western Union, but
the council thus far Is a unit on the ques
tlon of tho liability of the telegraph com
pan, as the law Is plain In stating that
all telegraph systems owned, leased or oper-
ated for commercial business must be taxed
alike. A member of the council said this
morning that tho company would be given
a hearing as soon as Governor Shaw re-
turns to tbo city, which will be about Au
gust IS.
ArrniiRe Setle of Conferences.
Chairman Weaver of the republican stato
central committee arranged for a series ot
conferences between the various congres
slonal committees and the respective county
chairmen of their districts. Such a meet
lng will bo held In the" Fifth district at
Cedar Rapids next Monday and another on
tho following day In Dcs Molnca for the
Seventh district. The committee nnd chair
man In the Second district will meet at
Davenport on Thursday, after the congrc3
slonal convention, which meets on the came
day. The First district meeting will take
place at Burlington on Saturday.
With Just one week until the state con
vention tno democrats or iowa are man
ifesting no concern about the probable nom
Inces. It Is with forlorn hope that they con
template tho convention and approaching
campaign in Iowa and under the circum
stances the convention is regarded by many
democrats ot the state as little more than
farcical. It is already evident that there
will be a comparatively slim attendance at
the convention and many delegations will
be woefully small. So far as can be learned
there Is absolutely no candidate for nomina
tion to either ot the leading state offices in
existence. None have been reported and
diligent Inquiry falls to reveal any. if any
one should know about candidates In tho
field It should be State Chairman Puffman.
A reporter called upon hlra today to ascer
tain Just how great Is the scramble for nom
ination. "Are thero any candidates for nomination
In tho field?" ho was asked.
"None that I know of," was the reply.
