Permission Asked to Lay a Double Track
Down That Street.
COUNCIL GETS POINTS ON A FRANCHISE
Alttoriiej WrlKht litplnlim Somr of
(lie Features of the C'liurter Under
Which the Street llnllwny Com
pany In Operating; Its I.liir.
At the meeting of tho city council last
night tho Omaha & Council Muffs Hallway
and Bridge company asked tho consent and
approval of tho city to lay down a double
track on Pearl street from Its Intersection
with Ilroadway to Us Intersection with Main
street, and also to lay a doublo track on
Main street from Its Intersection with Pearl
street to Sixteenth avenue, or the foot of
Main street, that portion, however, of Main
street from between Tenth nnd Eleventh
avenues to Sixteenth avenue for one track
thereon being conditional upon tho payment
by the company Into tho city treasury of
tho vnluo of all paving between said tracks
nnd ono foot outsido thereof, tho same to be
refunded to tho abutting property owners
In proportion to tho nmounts originally as
seated thereon against tho property abut
ting theron. Accompanying this communi
cation was a check for Sl.h'JD.10 nnd n reso
lution Brnntlug the company its request.
At tho time that the motor company sig
nified Its Intention of laying a second track
on South Main street the council decided
that before permission would bo granted tho
company would have to pay the valuo of
the paving, less ft per cent for deprecia
tion. Tho paving on Mnln street from Elev
enth avenue to Sixteenth avenue originally
cost $3.4S per square yard, the aggregate
being $r.,'.'f,2 52. This, less tho 5 per cent.
amounted to $4.0119.10. which the motor
company Is ready to pay nnd which will ba
refunded to tho property owners If tho city
grants the company permission to lay tho
second track.
Wluit the Cniupniiy AViinis.
The fact that the company asked pcrmlS'
slon to lay a double track on Pearl street
where It already has two tracks, caused
Mayor Jennings to question Attorney
Wright, who appeared for tho company, as
to the reason for such a request. In expla
nation. Attorney Wright said tho right of
tho motor company to two tracks on this
street had been questioned at various times
since tho expiration of the charter of the
old Council Muffs Street Railway company,
nnd the company desired the matter set
tled. He said that under Its charter, of
which there were thirteen years yot to run,
and under Its flfty-ear chnrter, tho com
pany had the right to elect to occupy any
streets other than thoso specified In Its
franchise, with tho concent and approval
of the council, nnd this It did now.
Tho nldcrmeu decided that tho matter
needed some Investigation nnd, on motion
of Alderman Drown, the wholo matter was
laid over for one week.

Tho request of Alderman Hnmmer thnt
some steps be tnken to placo Plerco street

ent nnd he was asked whether ho Intended
to go ahead with tho paving or not. He
replied that ho was waiting for legal ad
vice as to tho validity of tho certificates
and until that is determined ho is not pre
pared to give any assurance. Ho said that
If s waivers from tho property owners can
bo secured ho will go right ahead with
tho pnvlng. He asked that tho cost of
tho paving on North Main street, which
Is completed, bo assessed up and tho cer
tificates Issued, so that ho can see what
disposition could bo niado of tho paper.
Tho city engineer was Instructed to make
a report by tho next meeting on this pav
ing so that tho certificates can bo Issued.
In nnswer to Inquiries from Alderman Ham
mer, Contractor Wlckham said ho Is pro
pared to go ahead with tho paving on
Pierce street as soon ns waivers can bo
secured. Hnmmer gave It ns his opinion
that tho property owners on that streU
will all sign tho waivers, as they nro
anxious for tho paving to ho done. Tho
matter of removing the curbing hack four
feet on each side of this street was re
ferred to the city nttorney to Investigate
and report on.

pensation and wages than they havo been
receiving for many years and If their
wages uro computed by their purchasing
power, as much ns ever beforo.
Thcro aro no ldlo laborers all desiring
work enn sccuro it. Our farmers havo
been unusunlly successful. They nro blessed
with abundant crops und nro receiving
good prices for their products on nn avor
ago as much for them a& they received
for them at nny tlmo before. They have
but few debts, thoso existing having been
created chiefly for purposes of improve
ment or for tho enlargement of their
farms. Those who need money can borrow

FORT DODGH, la., Sept. 21. (Special
Telegram.) -Intense Interest In the Tenth
district congressional convention that Is to
select Senntor Dolllvcr's successor Is ui
dent in tho fact that every one of the 153
delegates have arrived a day In advance of
tho convention, nnd nlso an extra 100 po
litical workers and flicuds of tho eleven
cnudldates.
In signed Btntements to tho Kvenlng Mes
senger tho mnnngcrs of all the candidates
announced that they nro In the light to the
finish. It Is apparent that Judgo Connor
of Deuison, Judgo Htcveus of lloono and
Harvey Ingham of Algona nro tho lending
candidates. The other candidates nn the
ground nro: Kugeno Socor, Winnebago; J.
1). McVay, Calhoun; M. U. DoWolf, Poca
hontas; J. K. Wlnchmnn, Hancock; J. ,.
Kamrar, 'Webster City; U. I. Salinger, Car
roll; J. N. Crlm, Kmmctt, and M. 1- Ilroun,
Palo Alto.
At a meeting of tho congressional com
mittee tonight the temporary officers
chosen wero: Tarlcy Finch, Humboldt,
chairman; Goorgo P. McUurncy, Greene
county, secretary; V. S. Kcnyon, Webster,
and S. II. Mayno, Kossuth, assistant socro-
taricB.
Tho results of tho convention aro fraught
with much significance to stato politicians
and tho Influeuco extends beyond tho boun
daries of tho district. Tho Tenth Is the
largest congressional district In the state,
has tho greatest population and the largest
republican majority. Thero aro fourteen
counties In tho district, about 47,000 voters
nnd nearly 11,000 republican majority.
Thr final county conventions wcro held
Saturday aud tho last candidates who will
bo presented to the convention were named.
Thero aro only thrco counties In the dis
trict without candidates. These nro Grceno
county, whoso delegation, although iitiln-
Htructed, favors Judge Connor of Crawford;
Humboldt county, delegation also unln-
strueted, but favorable to M. !'. DoWolf of
Pocahontas county, and Webster county,
the home of Senator Dolllver, which, whllo
It has congressional timber, did not deem
It wtso to present a candldsto nut of defer
ence to tho support given Dolllver In his
Bonntorial campaign.
Daeh of the candidates Is vociferous In
his assertion that ho Is nfter tho nomina
tion nnd not a decoy for somo wilier us
plrant. It is evident thnt If tho convention
Is prolonged It will nlso develop a geo
graphical Issue, tho north and south halves
of tho district contending for supremacy.
Judge Crawford of Denlson, generally rec
ognized a's Governor Shaw's candidate, will
represent tho south half aud Harvey
Ii.gham, editor of tho Algona Upper Des

GUINNKU,, la., Sept. 21. (Special.)
What promised to be ono of tho bitterest
strikes In tho history of Iowa mines has
been averted by a sweeping victory for
tho miners' union at Muchnklnock. Much
nklnock has long been the only nonunion
camp In tho Iown district and It has sev
eral times successfully resisted attempts
to forco It Into tho union. Tho wages
paid thero havo been higher than In most
union camps nnd the conditions havo been
so satisfactory that tho men hnvo been
content to remain nutsldn the fold Tho
union demanded of Superintendent Uuxton
that tho colored miners bo compelled to
Join the union. It was thought that this
would bo bitterly resisted, but tho com
pany was unwilling to get Into a conflict
with tho miners nt this time nnd to avoid
a long strike nnd possible bloodshed tho
union demand was compiled with.
