Arrangements are being perfected to give
Minister Conger a rousing reception In
this city on his return to his native state
from China. Mr. Conger Is expected to
reach Council IllufTs on the morning of
April IS, as present advices Indicate that
he will nrrlvo at San Francisco April 10.
Tho movo to gtvo him a general reception
wns first started by the veterans of tho
civil war, who planned to meet him lu
Omaha. Since then the movement has
spread throughout the Btat'o and tho pres
ent plan Is to hold a stato reception on
this sldo of tho river when Mr. Conger
reaches tho transfer depot, tho general
opinion being that ho ought to be given a
befitting reception on Iowa soil.
As tho dato of his arrival In Iowa Is
still an uncertainty, tho plans at present
arc only In an embryo stute, but will bo
perfected tho moment his arrival lu San
Francisco Is announced by wire.
Council Uluffs has been selected ns tho
proper place to hold the reception for many
reasons. In tho first place, It is the
terminus, so to speak, of all tho largo trunk
lines running through Iowa, and will bo
easiest of access. for tho pcoplo of this
stato who desire to do homage to nnd greet
the returning minister. Another reason
for tbo selection of Council Illuffn is that
It is tho first city Minister Conger will
strlko on reaching his native state.
Tho transfer depot will accommodate
thousands of people and there Is no other
placo where so many people could congre
gate to greet him. All of tho railroads
reaching this city are arranging to run
special trains that day, and as soon as tho
exact tlmo of Minister Conger's nrrlval is
known they will bo scheduled to reach this
city In tlmo for the reception.
It has been arranged that Judge (liven of
Des Moines deliver tho address of wel
come on behalf of the state, and It Is
expected that Hon. John N. Ualdwln will
bo asked to deliver the address on behalf
of Council niufts and Its citizens.
Tho members of tho Grand Army of tho
Republic of this city and vicinity will meet
soon to cnmplcto arrangements for the reception.

mittco of tho whole and nfter discussing tho

ciding upon the location of somo of the

In to go Into effect In May.
Tho worst problem beforo tho commlt-
tco wns whether to rotaln tho light towcr-i
or dlstrlbuto tho lamps on them nt tho
street Intersections. Tho only decision
reached In regard to tho towers was to ex
periment with the new enclosed arc lamps
on the Oakland nvenuc, tho Fifth avenuo
and Twenty-first street towers. As to tho
others nothing was decided upon, although
It seemed to bo tho general opinion that
tho tower on tbo county courthouse could
be dispensed with.
It was decided to pluce new lights on
Main street, between Uroadway and First
avenue, at tbo Intersection of Mynstcr and
Seventh streets, nt the Intersection of Fifth
avenuo nnd Uluffs street, at Twenty-ninth
street nnd Avenuo J, nt Washington avenue
nnd Elder street, nt Fifteenth nvcnuo'nnd
High street, at Thirty-second street nnd
Avenuo H, nt Thirty-seventh street and
Avenuo H and nt Sixteenth street nnd Avo
nuo J. t
All lamps now supported on poles nt
street corners bos been replaced at the
street Intersections, suspended from cables.
Tho light at Uroadway and Twentieth
street will bo moved to Twenty-flrst street
nnd that at Uroadway nnd Thirty-second
street to Thirtieth street. Tho light nt
Uroadway and Thirty-fifth street will bo
moved to Thirty-fourth street. Tho lamp
at Avenuo C nnd Sixteenth street is to bo
placed at Avenuo H nnd Sixteenth streot,
Tim llirht nt Fifth nventin nnrl Hlchtti ntrprt
will be moved ono block west, ns wlfl that
nt 'Sixth avonuo nnd Ninth street.
Alderman Hrown urged tbo transfcrlng
of tho light nt Pearl street and First nve
nuo to Main street nnd First nvenuo nnd
tho placing of n now lamp at Sixth street
and First avenuo. This was agreed to, but
later, at Alderman Clark's suggestion, tho
light at Pearl and First nvenuo wan left
In Its present locution.
Tho lights on Twenty-first avenuo nnd
Sixth street and Twenty-fourth nvenuo and
Sixth street will bo moved ono block west.
It wns also decided to mako some change
In tho location of tho lights on Glen nnd

cldcd upon.

DES MOINES. March 29. (Special.)
Tho stato executivo council today com
pleted the assessment of the property of
the six express companies doing business
on railroads In Iowa. Tho assessment was
slightly Increased, the total Increase
amounting to $13,521. The assessment on
only ono company was reduced, that being
tho Great Not them, which has only small
mllcago In tho state. The following shows
tho mllcngo of each company In the state
nnd tho assessment this year and last year,
per mile:
Companies- Mileage. 1901. 1900.
United States 4,20S.ot $2.1 $21
Amcrlcun 2,405.52 :a4 xi
Adnms l.MO 30 25
Wells, Fargo & Co 5IS 25 25
Pnclllo 139.SS 25 21
Great Northern 77.9S 23 37
Tho assessment Is fixed by computing tho
actual cash value of the stock and bonds of
tho company and deducting therefrom tho
valuo of property owned but not used In
connection with tho express business, and
taking tho proportion of this valuo of tho
cntlro company belonging to Iowa on n
mllcago basis. The assessment Is said to
bo considerably below that contemplated In
tho law, hut owing to the complexity of tho
statement tho council was unable to detcr
mluo exactly tho valus of each company.
Tho exact figures of tho railroad assess
ment havo been given out. Tho total assess
ment of all tho railroad property In Iowa
this year Is $17,071,258, an Increase, Includ
ing tho largo amount of new mileage, of
$1,002,748 over Inst year. Tho increase on
thu old lines amounted to about 1 per cent
net. Sleeping cars were nssesscd this year

Tho los3 of Btock was probably $15,000. The
building Is a three-story brick belonging to
tho Prlchard estate and was badly Injured,

good sldo walls prevented a much larger
loss to tho business houses on cither side.

sured. There wns also aomo insurance on
tho stock of notions.
Ccilur Itnpldn Strike Trouble.
Tho strike of machinists at tho shops of
tho Durllngton, Cedar Unplds &. Northern
In Cedar Kaplds, bids fair to develop Into a
prolonged struggle between tho laboring

lu tho shops. Tho men hnvo been out sov
eral weeks and all conferences between
them and tho management hnvo boon fruit

Wakefulness,
Badly nourished nerves aro irritable and uneasy, bo aro norvca
that are overworked and worn'Out. The quiet and harmony of tho
nerve-centers aro gono; and every effort either of mind or body
increases the jarring and discord. Thoy cannot rest becauso thoy
are hungry; and tho sleep that comes after a night of tossing,
brings neither rest nor strength. Feed tho nerves. Nourish and
tone them up, and wakeful nights -will be a thing of tho past. Dr.
Miles' Nervine is the best remedy for wakefulness because it
makes strong nerves.
"I was restless and uneasy all tho time, had no ambition
and felt about half sick. I was so nervous that it seemed
almost Impossible to remain in bed and I would toss and
pitch for houra beforo I could get to sleep. I began taking
Dr. Miles' Nervine and in a short tlmo was ablo to sleep tho
whole night through, awaking in tho morning feeling re
freshed and rested." O. F. Buito, Kcesevllle, N. Y.

Is a brain and norvofood and restorativo medicine that helps nature
