At the monthly meeting of the Implement
Dealers' association of Council Bluffs and
Omaha In Council Bluffs Monday evening It
was decided to reject tho request of the
retail Implement dealers that the whole
salers and Jobbers close their places of
business during the mtetlng of the re
tailers In Omaha In January. The re
quest was made because the retailers found
thit the business places of the wholesalers
and Jobbers generally proved a greater at

decided by the Jobbers that the lunches
which have heretofore been served In their
warerooms during the meetings of the re

AT MERCY OF THE BRItJKMEN
Contractor Wlckhnm Opts So t'.ii-
cournirrmenl for Pnvln Streets
In Fourth Ward.
t
"I am entirely at the mercy of the brick
men," Bald Contractor Wlckham on his re
turn yesterday mornlpg from Oalesburg,
III., where he had been to see If there was
any prospect of his being able to obtain
sufficient brick to complete tho paving of
tho streets In the Fourth ward this year
Wlckham's trip to Qalcsburg was without
satisfactory results. The Purington com
pany, which has been supplying brick for
the paving here, was forced to shut down
Saturday for want of water. The lake 'from
which tho brick yards drew their supply
has gono dryrand the company Is driving
wells as rapidly as it can with the hope ot
obtaining water In sufficient quantity to
open up Its plant again.
With theso conditions prevailing at
Oalesburg, It Is dubious if any brick can
bo obtained from there this year to pave the
Fourth ward streets. The streets ordered
paved In this ward have all been ploughed
up, the old cedar blocks removed and are
now almost Impassable, It not paved this
year they will becomo veritable mudholes
during the winter and unsafe for travel.
Some homemade brick, was hauled yester
day on South Sixth street, but this Is the
only show of any paving In this ward made
When asked yesterday If there was suffi
cient homemade brick for the lower course
of the Fourth ward paving, Contractor
Wlckham said he thought not.
Contractor Wlckham volunteered the In
formation that he had advice from Des
Moines that brick from there would bo
shipped next week sufficient for the paving
of North Sixth, North Seventh and North
Eighth streets.
When asked If helntended to begin work
on Harrison atreet, which Is to be paved
with homemade brick, top and lower
courses,, he said he had never, been notified
to do so by the city council. Three week
ago the city council passed a motion to the
effect that Wlckham be ordered to begin
the work on Harrison street within ten
days, but it appears this notice was not
served upon him. He does not deny, how
over, that he was aware of the order of the
council.
When It was suggested that the city
might enforce tho penalty for his falluro
to carry out the Harrison street contract
Mr. Wlckham simply laughed. "What pen
alty," he asked. "I could not do any pav
ing on Harrison street until the thorough
fare had been graded and put In condition
for the work and after that was done I was
certainly entitled to a reasonable time In
which to start tho paving. I think If the
people who are kicking will read over tho
provisions ot my contract they will find
that It would be useless for the city to at
tempt to enforce payment of any penalty.
"I cannot do the Impossible," continued
Mr. Wlckham. "It I cannot get brick I
cannot do any paving. I am ready to do
the paving as soon as the brlckmen will
furnish me the material.
It Is understood there was sufficient
homemade brick for tho paving of both
Mynster and Harrison streets until re
cently, but that Wlckham Bros., who havo
the contract for the brick work on the new
building being erected by the sisters In
charge of. St. Bernard's hospital, are util
izing them for this.
Mayor Jennings was much disappointed
when Informed By Wlckham yesterday that
tho prospects for obtaining material from
Oalesburg for the Fourth ward paving were
decidedly dubious. He realizes that the
city Is up against a decidedly knotty prob
lem atid that the chances of getting any
paving laid In the Fourth ward this year
are of the poorest. Property owners In tho
Fourth ward are complaining because Wlck
ham has torn up the old cedar blocks when
he was not certain of securing the material
for the repavlng.
Some of the aldermen who want to see
Harrison street paved If possible this' year
suggested to Wlckham yesterday that ho
begin nt the top of the street and pave at
least as far as the old block pavement. It
Jhls was done It Is belteved It would save
the newly graded portion from being
washed out next spring.
The couucll will meet tonight, when
dellnlte action as to Harrison street and
the streets In the Fourth ward Is looked
for.

Dnhhlna Case In .lory's llnnda.
Charles J. Dobbins, former keeper of the
Senate saloon on Broadway and Bryant
street, was put on trial In the district court
yesterday, charged under an Indictment with
maintaining a nuisance. He was defended
by City Attorney Wadsworth and based his
defense on the grounds that the indict
ment was not returned until two weeks
nfter he had left the saloon business and
that It was a case of persecution more
than prosecution, Inasmuch as every saloon
keeper In the city violated tho provisions
of the mulct law. The case was given to
tho Jury at 3 o'clock In the afternoon, but
up to a late hour last night It had failed to
reach a verdict.
At the close 'of the Dobbins trial a Jury
was Impaneled In the case of Bellinger &
Bellinger against Thomas Q. Harrison. Tho
suit Is oyer the possession of a cow and
a note which Harrison obtained while col
lecting accounts for Drs. F. P. and M. J.
Bellinger. The doctors havo since dissolved
partnership and M. J. Bellinger yesterday
nicd a dismissal of the suit, but Dr. F. P.
Bellinger would not agree to this.

term on a charge of conducting a disorderly
house over a Broadway saloon, forfeited
her bond In the sum of $300. by couseut ot
the county attorney the bondsmen yesterday

DES MOINES. Oct. 29. (Special.)
Attorney General Mullan today rendered to
Auditor of Stote Mcrrlam an Important
opinion In regard to the organization ot
Insurance companies to do more than one
kind ot insurance business. The Twenty
eighth general assembly so modified the law
that lite Insurance companies might amend
their plan nnd dip over Into other kinds
of Insurance, particularly Into accident In
surance. This was done at the Instance
of foreign Insurance companies that were
engaged In life and accident business. Re
cently an Iowa company, organized on the
stock plan with stipulated premium Instead
of the flat rato premium, has sought to en
gage In the accident and fidelity business.
The attorney general was asked for a de
cision ns to Its right, and ho decldea that
stipulated premium companies, whether
stock or mutual, may amend their charters
nnd engage In accident and fidelity busi
ness aa well as lite. The law Is so com
plicated that an opinion was desired before
permitting companies to branch out Into
different kinds of insurance. It Is under
stood several Iowa companies will engage
In raoro than ono kind ot Insurance now
that the law has permitted such branch
ing out, but until this decision their right
to do so waB In question.

Telephone Company App'eals.
The Iowa Telephone company filed the
abstracts today In two Important cases
appealed to tho supreme court of the state
One was the suit here In Des Moines which
resulted In an Injunction restraining the
company from setting up poles In the
streets of Des Moines on tho ground that
It has no right here and has no franchise.
This Is the suit In which tho company
claims a right to occupancy of the Btreets
under the general law applying to public
highways. The othor suit Is one from Sioux
City, In which an employe of the company
who was injured by the crossing ot an elec
tric light wire and mixing the currents,
sued both the Iowa Telephone company
and tho Sioux City Electric Light com
pany, and obtained Judgment last month
by default against each one In the sum ot
$3,500. Now the telephone company claims
that the default was because ot the misun
derstanding ot attorneya, and asks that a
trial be granted.
Burlington Institute Closes.

tironlh of Women's Clubs.
Des Moines has become a great city for
women's clubs. The annual meeting ot
tho City Federation of Women's Clubs waa
held today and reports showed that the
past year has been a remarkable one In
the growth or the federation.
This organization came Into existence in
the summer of 1899, members of the
Women's Press club taking the Initiative.
During tho first year the time was mainly
spent In the work ot organization, though
some practical work was effected. Last
year has, however, brought nearly, every
women's organization of the city Into line,
so that the City Federation, through Its
nearly thirty- clubs, has a membership ot
about 1,100, and Is ready now for aggres
sive work In all municipal affairs. Efforts
during the past year have centered upon the
making of a cleaner city, the placing ot
the right kind of men on the library board,
timely assistance to Midland Chautauqua
and the establishment of a morning curfew.
0ELWEIN STRIKERS VIGILANT
Are Meeting Incoming Workmen
Dlsaunde Them from Entering
Western Union Shops.
to
OELWEIN. la.. Oct. 29. (Special.) The
strike In the Chicago Great Western shops
Is not settled. The company declines to
remove the roundhouse assistant foreman,
as tne men demand. It gave the men till
6 o'clock today to return to work. A num
ber ot the machinists did so and also a
few helpers. The company has about 150
new men from outside points at work and
they are boarding and lodging them In the
abops, Tne sheriff and about thirty dvpuilea
picket the shops and roundhouse, but
there has been no disturbance. Tho strik
ers are orderly. The company seems de
termined not to yield to the men's demands
and proposes to continue to Import work
men. A tow strikers returned to work tp-
day. A committee of strikers meets all
trains and endeavors to dlscouraco all
workmen coming In from entering shops
and In some cases they are successful. The
outcome Is problematical.
SHAW COMPLIMENTS ALLISON
Governor's (Iraphlc .Statement t the
Eminent Services of the
una Senator.
(From a St'iff Correspondent.)
FONDA, li,. Oet. 29. (Special.) Gov
ernor Shaw ha? returned from Ohio nnd
renewed his speaking campaign In this
state. He spoke hero last evening. lie began
by paying a high tribute to President Mc-
Klnley and expressing the greatest confi
dence In the Integrity, capacity nnd sterling
worth of Theodore Roosevelt. Ho was grat
ified at the well-nigh universal expression
of confidence) that the business Interests of
the country would not suffer becauso ot
any deviation from those policies nnd prin
ciples of which the lamented president had
been tho especial champion.
He also took occasion to congratulate the
republican party In having In every way
an unobjectionable ticket. Thero Is not to
bo found, said he, In the length and breadtn
ot this 3tate a single person who calls In
question the ability or the business Integ
rity of the brilliant candidate for tho high
est office In the gift ot this commonwealth.
He was glad to note the universal verdict
that Mr. Cummins waa making a splendid
campaign and winning many friends wher
ever ho speaks.
Tho governor also called attention to tho
representative and senatorial ticket and
In this connection said In part:
"Thero are two United States senators to
be elected at the next session of the gener
al assembly, one for a term of six years and
the other to fill tho unexpired term for
which tho lamented Senator Gear was cho
sen two years ago. While the re-election ot
tho present Incumbents. Is conceded, a word
touching their special qualifications may
not bo considered out of place. Senator Al
lison Is the admitted leader of the United
States senate, the most dignified, ns well
as tho most responsible legislative body of
which this world bears record. And well
does ho deserve this unique distinction. Ho
began his congtcsslonal career A'hcn Abra
ham Lincoln occupied tho chair of the chief
executive of tho nation. Ho took part In
all thotic Issues growing out of tho war of
the rebellion and aided In formulating the
reconstruction policy under which tho se
ceding states wero taken back and admitted
with equal rights under new constitutions.
He has been tho personal friend and adviser
of Ulysses S. Grant, Rutherford U. Hayes,
James A. Garfield, Chester A. Arthur aud
Benjamin Harrison and the bosom friend
and able counselor of htm for whom more
people sorrow than have mourned tho death
of any other man, William McKlnley.
"For more- than fifteen years, barring a
brief period of democratic supremacy, Sen
ator Allison haB occupied the head of tho
table in tho committee room ot appropria
tions, and under his scrutinizing eye have
been submitted bills appropriating moro
than six thousand millions ot the people's
money, not one ot which has passed with
out receiving his O. K. So familiar has ho
become with the business Interests ot the
country that when questions touching his
special department are pendlng'both demo
crats and republicans mark with closest
Interest every syllable he may utter and
his statementa are never questioned.
"Think of It, gentlemen. The senior sen
ator from Iowa has served In the lower
house ot congress with Thaddeus Stevens,
Schuyler Colfax, Fernando Wood, James
Brooks, Samuel J. Randall, Ellhu B. Wnsh
burne, Benjamin F. Butler; In the senate
with Charles Sumner, Zacharlah Chandler,
John Sherman, Oliver P. Morton, Simon
Cameron, iMatt Carpenter, George H. Pen
dleton, George F. Edmunds; In both houses
with James G. Blaine, Roscoo Conkllng,
John A. Logan, Justin S. Morrill and Daniel
W. Voorhees. He has been Identified with
every measure looking to the Improvement
of our country, the development of our re
sources and the advancement of our people,
and at no time, upon no question, at nu
roll-call, has he hesitated to record his vote.
Tho name of Allison, being near tho heart
of the alphabet, has always been ot the
first, It not the first, called, and bis exam
ple In thousands of Instances has deter
mined Important questions. Before the
next general assembly adjourns, William B.
Allison will have been elected to the
United States senate, as many times as any
roan, living or dead, and some years be
fore the expiration ot his term ho will havo
served in that body longer than any man,
living or dead.
"Moat Justly Is Iowa proud of her repre
sentatlon in congress and most Justly has
ehe earned the distinction of having the
strongest delegation In tho legislative coun
cils of the nation. From tho days of Har
Ian down through the list ot Iowa senators
Grimes, Klrkwood, Wright, Allison, Wil
son, Gear, Dolljver Iowa has never had
less than the peer of the best. She haa
been equally fortunate In the bouse. Here
the number who have mado themselves na
tional characters and their state and dis
tricts fieat forbids enumeration. Whllo
holding dear each and all who now repre
sent us, wo must not forget those who have
retired after years ot distinguished service.
Kasson. Hepburn, Updegraff, Lacoy, Hull
and Dolllver have each and all served ten
years or more In congress and mado their
names familiar In the annals of the nation
"Iowa has rendered no less distinguished
service In cabinet positions. Our present
representative, James Wlleon, has brought
Into prominence a most Important depart
ment, hitherto lightly esteemed, If not
despised. He was the faithful friend ot
President McKlnley and will be equally
close and equally loyal to President Roose
velt. It any democratic state has a prouder
record let It be named- so loudly that alt
shall hear. If any other party could havo
done better, let those who call In question
the paat step bravely forward and hoist
that party's standard at the head of Its col
umns."
