BLUFFS.
MONOPOLY'S GRIP ON THE LAKE
Othir People Beiidei Property Ownera Are
Concerned This Deal.
SPORTSMEN DECLARE IT AN OUTRAGE
Anyone Wanting a Uny'a Hntttlntr or
Other ilrcrratlon on the Water
Will lie nbllwrd lo Pay Toll
(o the .Motor Compnii).
Other persons besides the property
owners nt Manawa nro directly Interested
In the action of the Hoard of Supervisors
vacating all tho public thoroughfares to
the lake at the Instance of tho motor com
pany. Lake Manawa has always been n
favorlto resort for the hunters and fishers
of Council llluffs and vicinity, but now
they will be unable to resell the lake un
less through tho company's grounds or by
trespassing on someone's property. Tho
action of the hoard, unless reversed by the
courts, will give tho motor company prac
tically a monopoly of tho boat houses on
tho lake, except so far as the members
of the lloat club are concerned.
A well-known local sportsman, discussing
tho situation yesterday, said: "Tho action
of the supervisors In closing all tho roads
to the lake front Is an outrago and noth
ing less. I hnvo been In tho habit for
years of going to Lako Manawa to take
n pop nt the ducks, but now I will ho ob
liged to pay toll to tho motor company
nml hire nno of their boats If I want to go
shooting or fishing nnd thero are scores
of men like myself who will be In tho same
boat. While I am willing to admit that
somo of the so-called streets might have
been vncated without hurting anyone, It
does not seem right that tho main road
lending to tho lake at the old boat land
ing, which Is outside the present enclosure,
should have been vacated. I earnestly
hopo that some of tho property owners
Interested will take tho case to tho dis
trict court, ns I bcllevo If they will do
so tho courts will turn down tho action
of tho county board. For mysolf, I cannot
see where the Board of Supervisors gets tho
authority to take away from the public
tho right to use and enjoy thoroughfares
which have been laid out for Its benefit."
Charles II. Hannan, who owns n lot which
he cannot now reach except by dropping
onto It from the skies, says that tho mat
ter will bo certainly tnken to tho district
court on appeal.
Tho day following the action of the
board tho motor company put n force of
men at work and a high board fonco has
been erected, so that tho public cunnot
reach the lako except through Its grounds
and by paying It toll.
A fact that was not made public Is that
Ucnjamln Marks, who owns considerable
property around Lako Manawa, got tho
board to vacato a portion of tho public
road along the lako front Immediately ad
Joining the motor company's property.
This was dono by tho board several weeks
befnro It took similar action at tho re
quest of the motor company.

posed lno Wnrrnnto 1'roceiMllimn.
Another secret session of tho city coun
cil In comniltteo of tho whole Is slated for
t)ils evening, when tho question of com
mencing quo warranto proceedings against
tho motor company will havo another
round.
It Is possible that City Solicitor Wads
worth will hnvo his opinion preparod In
time to submit to tho nldennon tonight, as
ho has been working on It several days.
Four of tho nldr-men aro In favor of em
ploying A. S. Hazelton, former city nttorney,
at n feo of $500 to assist Mr. Wadsworth,
although tho latter has not applied for any
help. Tho other four memberH'of the coun
cil nro opposed to Involving the city In this
expense and they havo Mayor Jennings on
their side.
Mayor Jennings Is not at all pleased with
this talk of Instituting quo warranto pro
ceedings against tho motor company, ns he
fnlls to sco what benefit tho city will derive
from such nn action. Tho aldermen who
nro pushing tho matter admit they do not
want tho trocks off Main street and this
being tho case tho mayor says ho falls to
sco clearly what they nee driving nt. If
such proceedings were begun tho case could
not bo finished during tho llfo of this coun
cil and tho .mayor Is opposed to handing
down a legacy In tho shnpo of expensive liti
gation to tho next city administration.
It Is doubtful, nccordlng to the opinion of
leading attorneys, If tho city can bring quo
wnrrnnto proceeedtngs ugatnst tho motor
company nnd if riuch nn action is com
menced It Is moro than likely that some
tnxpayer will havo to bo secured to' act ns
a iigiironead in tno proceedings, ijuo war
ranto proceedings hava to bo brought In tho
namo of tho state and It the county attorney
on being npplled to refuses to commence
Biich action on tho grounds that ho does not
bellevo there Is sufiiclcnt cause the court
may bo applied to und on permission being
granted proceedings can then be brought In
tho Diimo of tho state ex rol, whoever ap
pears plaintiff. Tho laws of Iowa do not
provide for any city being plaintiff In such
proceedings.
In the event of such proceadlags being
decided In favor of tho city the motor com
pany would undoubtedly take the caso to
tho supreme court nnd It would be two or
threo years beforo tho matter would be
finally settled. For this reason, If for no
other, Mayor Jennings Is opposed to Involv
ing tho city In lengthy and costly litigation
when the benefits to be derived arc doubt

FORTY THOUSAND DOLLARS
Ezpreu Safe with Tbii Amount ii Lifted
from Tranifer Tmok at Manilla, la.
THREE MEN ARRESTED ON SUSPICION
riiey Are AH Yonnir Fellows I.lvlnu
.nr the Tonn-Nn Part of
the llooty U He
covered, SIOUX CITY, la., Feb. 10. (Special Tele
gram.) A $40,000 haul was made by the
robbers who boldly stolo a United States
Express company's route safe nt ManllU,
In.. Saturday night whllo express nnd bag
gage wero being transferred from a train
on tho Sioux City division of the Chicago,
Milwaukee & St. Paul rnllwoy to n Chicago
train. Tho express olllrlals will not state
that this sum was lost, but It Is known
that about M 2,000 lu cash was taken on In
Sioux City nnd about $25,000 In drafts and
other valuables.
Threo men were arrested nt 0 o'clock this
morning In tho country near Manilla, after
nn all-night hunt by a citizens' posso under
the direction of the city marshal. The pris
oners nro John Jackson, Charles Hnyrs anil'
John Stovnll, nil young fellows who live 'n
or neir Manilla. The officers who arrested
them declaro that the evidence ngalnst them
Is conclusive. Tim tiall led unmistakably
to their lulr. although no part of tho booty
was found on them. They persist In declar
ing themselves Innocent.
Consummate nerve charactcrlied tho rob
bery. The Sioux City train arrived In Ma
nilla nt S:0."i p. in. nnd Immediately there
after tho express messenger, Jnines W.
Sturtevant of Sioux City, nnd a couple of
beggago rustlers employed nt tho Manilla
Junction, unloaded tho car. plnclng tho
routo safe on a platform truck with other
freight. Tho Omaha train whs an hour or
moro Into and the men climbed Into tho car
to get out of the cold while waiting. About
8:10 o'clock the messenger stepped out
side nnd for the first time noted tho loss
of tho safe.
Safe Carried Off Ilndlly.
The heavy Iron box had been picked up
bodily from tho truck by two men nnd
carried nwny. Usually tho depot platform
Is crowdeil nt trnln time, but tho extreme
cold wonther kept the curious depot
loungers Insldo nnd the men wero not de
tcctcd ns they worked nt tho dark end
of tho'plntform. Tho men carried tho heavy
box about two blocks, where they loaded
It Into a buggy nnd drove away.
A mile nnd n half In the country north
of tho town the box was found several
hours Inter, forced open ami Its valuable
contents gone.
When tho robbery was discovered
thero was great excitement, nnd no time
was lost In spreading tho alarm. City Mar
sum I'crren nnsiuy nssemmeil n posse
mil vigorous work was begun. Snow lay
thick on tho ground and It did not tako
long to discover tho trucks of two per
sons, who evidently had been carrying somo
heavy object directly from tho truck, as It
stood upon tho depot platform.
The thieves carried thu safo a dlstoncc
of two blocks nnd then loaded It Into n
wagon which had ovldentty been left thore
In waiting. Tho wagon ..was driven about
a mile and a half out lnlo itho country nnd
thero tho safo wns forced open and tho
contents abstracted. Tho men thero aban
doned tho safo and went their way on n
new track. It was not difficult to trace
them, howover, and this morning the three
arrests wero made. All are well known.
Their reputations heretofore havo not been
bad.
Iloliliery Plnnneil Deliberately.
Whllo tho robbery undoubtedly wns de
liberately plunnod, as tho horso and wagon
wero In waiting In n convenient spot, It
Is not believed that tho men know they
wero making so rich n Intnl. They had no
means of knowing the contents of tho safe,
only that it was used for carrying valuables.
They found an unusualy favorable oppor
tunity when Sturtevant left tho safo on
tho truck, and had It nqt been for tho
telltnlo tracks In tho snow It Is not likely
that tho arrests would havo been mndo so
promptly.
Jackson, Stovnll nnd Hayes hnvo been
In tho habit of hanging nbnut tho depot
nt train time, but that was not consid
ered significant, ns It Is tho custom of a
number of townspeople nt Manilla.
Mrs. Jackson, wlfo of John Jackson, also
was arrested, but at n preliminary hearing
held this evening sho was roloascd. The
examination will bo continued tomorrow.
Tho threo prisoners nro In Jnll, having been
unnblo to furnish bonds of $12,000 each.
Tho authorities says the shoes of two
of tho men exactly fit tho tracks in the
snow nt tho depot whero tho safo was car
ried off.
Detective Hurry to Intra.
CHICAGO, Feb, 10,-Detectlvcs of the

Tho local officials denied all knowledge
of tho amount socurcd or the details of
the robbery nml nsserted that tho matter
was In tho bands of tho officials of tho

Twin Sisters Tiiuulcd In
.Matrimonial Tle-lio.
n Jolul
Thnt wab n very good story about tho
mixing up of tho twin brides nt tho Hlng
hamtou wedding, relates tho New York
Mall and Kxprcss, and It Is no less likely
to bo true because tho element of prob
ability seems to be lacking. The tale Is
worth repenting, anyhow
The twin sisters 'naked so much alike
that their own purcutH could not tell them
apart; they were dressed exactly alike, and
the wedding ceremonies took plnco simul
taneously, tne clergyman tying tho two
knots Ir qu'ck succession. To mnko the
story hang together. It Is said that the two
girls were really In lovo with the sumo man,
but ona had to give him up to take a sec
ond choice, which sho had done with tho
best gruco possible. Hut at tho critical
moment, jusi ror run aim ur puzzle the by
slanders, the two chanced nlacns.
Now conies tho dispute upon which the
whole Hint turns. The irlrl wlin Im.l r...
llnuulshtd her tlrst choice In favor of he'r
nisier ciiuins nun tue neciaratlon or the
parson that united each couple indlsHolubly
wns mndo without a reversal of tho posi

lichen! nml GrcnteM of London's
Money Lenders.
Hnlf tho peerago of England, and cer
tainty every one of the spendthrift aristo
crats, nre left to mourn Samuel Lewis, tho
dead Shylock, for hardly can they tlnd his
I'ko as a lender of millions.
There was only ono Samuel Lewis among
tho many money lenders who thrive by
high Interest nnd find easy victims In high
places. Lewis was tho real aristocrat or
Ills class. Ho could lord it over the great
men or his country, oven over princes of
the rnvnl lilmMl. u-lul linri filllpll into Ills
hands, 'and could live more luxuriously than
tho best or tliem.
It Is said of him that he rarely had less
than 3,0(X,u0iJ or JC4,i.".ln lent on the se
curity of young noblemen's expectations,
whllo his brain held the knowledge of a
choicer assortment of aristocratic skele
tons than that of any other man In Eng
land. Only a few months ngo the newspapers
contained stories of how Lady Tntton
Sykes hod dealings with Lewis to her sor
row. Tho tin mo of Lord William Ncvlll Is
ono that echoes almost with a throat In the
homes of the London smart set whenever
It Is spoken, and It was from Lewis that
his lordship got the money with which he
hastened his ruin. And the son of the
inurqulH of Qtieeiisberry nlso hud experi
ences of which tho public has heard lu de
tail. These arc only throe uniting n thou
sand. There Is n saying on the race track when
a young peer Is playing high und losing
nil that he "Is going to No. 17 Cork street, "
It tells tho whole story. No. 1" Cork street,
a modest three-story liUl'dllig In n short
street off n iiiuch-frciiuentrd promenade,
was tho headquarters of the money king.
Thoro It was that his business organiza
tion centered, past niiiiiy clerks, and
sometimes only after hours of waiting, his
titled customers, with lauds, diamonds or
futility iixpectntloiis to buck their requests
for rash, would timkn their way.
Quick nnd short they would get their
answer It might b" ready iicq.ilesocnce,
or It might be a curt "Sorry I cannot oblige
you." It might lie a proposal of 10 per
cent Interest, or It might be U "ft or 100 per
cent that would bo demanded.
It Is said. Indeed, thnt Lewis had n groat
card catuJogun of tho members of the nu
bility, their fortunes, their habits, their
relatives and their honesty. On each card
was marked the ainaiitit the mini could bor
row nml the rntu he must pay. so that even
In lowls' nbsonro his clerks could lend his
money after hlti own Ideas.
A high liver was Lewis, n frequenter of
Motito Carlo and tho rnco tracks, certain to
have the best box ill tho theater on every
opening night, certain to be surrounded
with ladles wearing tho finest diamonds the
eye eou'd tlnd on any such occasion
llo was well over SO, hut did not look his
aire. Ills lot black, wuxccl mustache, curlv
hiilr and llttlo hcoilH of eyes did not give
him a. really unpleasant appearance, though
he hud always something of tho nlr of a.
sporting man.
Along with the Htorles of his iinllliichliig
demand of his pound of flesh thero nro
stories, too, or Kliuiuearteiliiess shown by
hlin now and then. An Amerlcnnn actor,
one of the best known on the Htnue. nrfi.n
tells tho story of how, when he had gouo
bankrupt at the games of Monte Carlo.
Lewis camo to h!m, gave him a handful of
oatiKtioteH ojki nam:
'u nwny from hero and stnv nwny. This
gamo Is far too fast for you. Pay me when
you can una never muni tno interest
Thero nro other anecdotes, too. of Lewis'
tearing up tho notes of young men who
coma not pay mm, nut tney are few mid
fnr between. A Hlivlnck be certnlnlv whh.
but his rrlcuds retort for him that lit least
his customers might spare the mime, -causo
of tho reputation borno by somo of
win uiiinr.

"Your nntno Ih a household word, sena

Saturday Evening Post, mndo In Chicago
to tlio lion. Jonathan P. Dolllvor, the new
United Mutes senator from Iowa, during
tho recent presidential campaign, when n
republican committeeman, anxious to se
e.uro him for a speech, fissured lilm that no
mun was neuer Known or understood in
the city by the lake than tho ircnttenum
from Iowa. "Why. sir, no man Is better
loveu oy our peopio or more lilguly re
garded tluui yo.i," wild tho committeeman,
rising in enthusiasm.
"If that's the case." I-Pllllcd Ihn p,,.nnlnr
"I shall havo to grant your request and
speak again lu Chicago."
"I shall havo to udvertlse you." suggested
tho committeeman. "Of course. I know
your name but. to tie sure, I want to usk
you. I suppose Joseph T. Dolllvor Is right?"
"And my name Is a household word In
Chicago!" responded the senntor.
"Yes. sir!"
"And my Christian namo Joseph?"
"My mistake, senator. 1 niiiiht hnvo
known better. ICh John A. Dolllvor."
"What!" exclaimed the senator, "and mv
nnmo Is n household word lu Chicago!"
"Oh. well." spoko up the committeeman
blundly, "Its my mistake, again. Wb'it Is
your Christian name, anyhow, senator?"
"Its Jonathan, sir. and my name is a
household word In Chicago!"
"My mistake, entirely," npotoglzed tho
committeeman. "You know I am forgetful
nt times. I bellevo you spell your namo
D-o-l-a-v-o-r?
"Hold on! Hold on'" shouted the mnn'o"
"And my name Is a household word In Chi
cago! Well! well! who'd a thought It. I
spell my mime- D-o-l-l-l-v-e-r."
"Of course, of course," soothingly chimed
tho committeeman. "Of course, nobody
knew that better than myself. You nre ex
senator. I believe?"
It was then that Senator Dolllvor wilted
nnd whlsiiervd sndly; "And my name Is a
household word lu Chicago!"

of medicine. It has taken nil tho terror out
