erty. Since tho filing of the suits the
united States supreme court has rescinded
Its former ruling and has held that assess
mcnts made according to tho Ilnoar fiont

COMPARE MERITS OF BRICKS
Aldermen AVnnt tn (Jet I'nvltiir
Pnrtlculnra from City
KiiHlnrrr.
At tho adjourned meeting of tho city
council yesterday afternoon City Engineer
Etnyre was directed to furnish tho alder
men with a written report on the merits
of the several kinds of paving brick on
which bids were made for the Fourth word
paving. City Knglneer Etnyre presentod a
bill Wednesday night for tho expenses of
his trip to Kansas City, whero he went to
Inspect plng laid with tho Cofleyvlllo
orick, but mode no report.
In tho suit brought Wednesday by prop
erty owners In tho Fourth ward to annul
the contract with Wlckham the assertion
Is made that tho city engineer reported
that Coffeyvllla brick was superior to the
Oalesburg brick and mot fully all the re
quirements of tho specifications. No such
report was ever filed with the eltv council
by Mr, Etnyre. On the other hand, tho
experiment mado by the city engineer
proved that the Coffeyvllle brick did not
meet the requirements of tho specifications.
The water absorption test to which the
city engineer subjected the specimens of
the different kinds of brick showed that
the Coffeyvllle brick absorbed 5 nor cent.
while the Oalesburg brick did not absorb
1 per cent. In the "rattler" test the
Cofreyvllle brick showed as abrasion ot S
per cent abrasion. The test was made with
1,800 revolutions of the "tumbler."
Tho aldermen said yesterday that the
suit would not prevent them from carrying
out tho paving as decided upon, as they
believed that all of the requirements of
the law had been fully compiled with.
Contractor Wlckham stated that as far as
he was concerned tho suit did not trouble
him In tho least and that he was pre
pared to go ahead with tho work the mo
ment the contracts were signed and com
pleted. Wlckham denied that there was
any combination between him and two of
the other bidders, as alleged In the peti
tion filed In the Injunction suit. Ho also
denied having an Inside quotation on Cales
burg brick and asserted that at least one
other bidder had secured better prices than
ho had nnd that others had been quoted
prices Just as good as he had received.
An attempt to pass Colonel Hannan's or
dinance giving him one foot of Broadway
nnd ono foot of North Main streot In order
that he might put a "swell" front In the
property purchased by him and his asso
ciates at the corner of Ilroadway and Main
street was voted,, down. The ordinance
passed to Its second reading and then went
over under the rules.
The aldermen met last night bb a com
mittee of the wholo and took a drive
around the city In tho patrol wagon to
Inspect localities whero arc lamps have
boon petitioned for.

GEORGE H. JACKSON ROBBED
Huaplt'lon Polnta io Two Young
Fellovra of the Neigh
borhood. Tho rcoldenco of Georgo II. Jackson, 517
South First street, was entered by thieves
Wednesday and $85 In money stolen. Tho
bouse was thoroughly ransacked while the
family was asleep. The money and a pass
key to tho nlsht lock on the front door
wore taken from Mr. Jackson s trotifora,
which were on a chair by the bed In which
he slept. Entrance was effected through a
small window In the roar.
Suspicion points to two young fellows,
notorious local characters, one of whom
lives In tho vicinity of the Jackson rel
dence, and they are believed to be the
thlevos who broke Into Dr. Carter's i evi
dence on the same street about a week ago
and stolo a large sum ot money, but did not
disturb the valuable Jewelry which was on
a bedroom bureau. At the Carter residence
the thieves had the opportunity of stealing
a valuable diamond pin, reveral rings and
a valuable gold watch, but they left them
alone, evidently being after monty only. In
Dr. Carter's purse, from which the money
was taken, was a )2.S0 gold piece, a pocket
piece which was marked, and this tin
thieves did not take,
At the Jackson residence none ot tfct
Jewelry waa taken. This leads the police to
believe that both robberies were committed
by the same parties.
GOOD COAL GOES TO WASTE
Om- Hundred Tom of Winter .Stock
Consumed In Co nip nny 'a
Nheils.
Fifty tons of hard coal and fifty more
ot soft burned with the shed containing It
at 12:3') o'clock this morning. All belonged
to the Council Bluffs Coal and Ice company
and tho shed was nt Ninth street and
nroadway, so near the old Union Pacific
dummy depot that tho latter building was
saved only by energetic effort on the part
of the firemen. The twenty-five horses In
It were rescued, but some of the company's
wagons were scorched. Four Union Pa
cific freight cars were in flames at one
time, but were not destroyed.
The origin ot tho fire is thought to have
been spontaneous combustion. The losa
could not bo even estimated by Mr. Tennoy,
who was tho only attache ot tbo company
about while tho fire was In progresss.
A Modern Shoe Store.
The well-known shoo store of George
F. Hamilton's Is undergoing some extensive

DES MOINES. Sept. r,. (Special Tele
gram.) The socialists, In state convention
today, nominated this ticket:
For governor, James Baxter, Hltcman.
For lieutenant governor, W, A. Jacobs,
Davenport.
For railroad commissioner, A. C, Middle
brook, Hock Rapids.
For Judge, A. F. Thompson, Centervllle.
For superintendent of schools, E. E. Ste
vens, nurllngton.
Tho convention adopted resolutions In
dorsing the action ot the Indianapolis con
ference In uniting all branches ot social
ists nnd set forth briefly the principles of
socialism.
The socialist state convention was held
hero today. The nttendanco was not large,
only about thirty persons being present,
but the socialists explain that as every
thing has to be rcferendumed by the clubs
a half dozen could hold a convention as well
as 100 and nfterward submit It to the mem
bers of the clubs. There are sixteen ot
these regularly organized clubs In the state.
Since tho conference at Indianapolis, where
It wns directed that the social democrats
should co-operate with the social labor
party and the two become one, the socialist
movement has rained some strength tn
Iown. Tho convention was called to order
today by A. W. Kicker of Lone Tree, John
son county, stato chairman of the party.
Mr. Kicker has been out of the state some
time attending medical school In Omaha,
but mado a report showing that the work Is
being pushed vigorously. Reports show that
during tho past year the committee re
ceived $141.25 nnd npent $130.19 for cam
paign expenses. Many accessions to the
ranks were reported. In Boono tho social
ists carried on a vigorous campaign last
spring and elected one alderman In the
city election and cast over &00 votes.
The state convention was organized by
tho selection of J. W. Bennett of Wood
bury county as chairman nnd L. B. Patter
son of Polk county as secretory.
Tho following committees were appointed:
On constitution N. A. Baker, Wapello
county; A. F. Thompson. Appanoose; E.
Holtz. Dubuque. On resolutions R. S.
Spurrier, Taylor county; A. V. Rlcker,
Johnson; W. A. Jacobs, Scott. On creden
tials A. U. Mlddlebrook, Linn county; Max
Hagerman, Scott; Thomas Bowcn, Appa
noose. Tho convention, on hearing the report of
tho committee on constitution, proceeded
to adopt a constitution for the government
of the clubs and branches In Iowa. De
bate upon various features of this report
consumed a good part of tho afternoon.
Tho chief matter of contention was In re
gard to Insisting on tho fee or dues system
for raising funds and It was decided that
this should bo followed and tho branches
contribute a definite amount each month to
the state treasury.
Tho platform Indorses that of the united
socialistic party, held at Indianapolis July
29, and says:
Wo believe socialism to be a scientific
solution of the labor problem nnd that It
will provide nn ethlcnl construction of so
ciety whereby equality and existing justice
will bo meted out to every Individual, p
declare our unalterable opposition tonlhfi
competition for bread and to tho capitalis
tic control of the means of production nnd
distribution, and to secure a system
whereby want, misery and poverty shall So
forever eliminated we pledge ourselves to
the tlnal and complete overthrow of nil
competitive, nnd rnpltallstto systems and
the substitution therefor of a co-operative
commonwealth and collective ownership of
all means of distribution.

It's a fact, strange as it may seem. If your
hair is of only ordinary thickness and about a
yard long, and if you should place each hair
end to end, you would have 75 miles of hair!
It's a gray line, with age; a black line,
with Ayer's Hair Vigor. It's a ragged line,
when the hairs split at the end; a smooth line,
when the hair is fed with Ayer's Hair Vigor.
There's an immense amount of satisfaction in
every bottle of it.
My hair wm failing ont very fast, was
arsh and dry. I tried Ayer's Hair Vigor,
