"it is to the Interest of every business man In Council Bluffs to assist In every way possible the Council Bluffs, Tabor Southern Electric railway In securing an entrance Into the city" was the state ment yesterday of F. R. Davis, president of the Pioneer Implement company and member of the executive committee of the Commercial club. The proposed line, Mr. Davis said, would open up new and valu able territory for Council Bluffs and the company should be treated In the same lib eral spirit that Council Bluffs has treated the big trunk railroads on entering this city. Mr. Davis stated further that all of the business men he had talked with on the matter were firmly of the opinion that the new line should enter Council Bluffs by way of the State School for the Deaf. This, he said, appeared to be the only logical route for the line Into the city. The original survey brought the line into Council Bluffs In the western part of the city, close to Omaha, but this. Mr. Davis aid, would never be sanctioned and he was of the opinion that the company had abandoned it. While In the city last week President Dobba of the new company investigated the feasibility of an overhead crossing over Mosquito creek and the tracks of the Rock Island and Milwaukee roads. .Such a crossing would bring the new line In close proximity to the School for the Deaf and Into the city on South avenue. To cross the Great Western's tracks a grade crossing would be all that would be necessary. In the event of this plan being adopted the line would probubly use Fourth street to come up Into the city on. Representatives of the company are now having an examination made of the fran chises granted at different times to the street railway company and its predeces sors with a view of ascertaining what streets are still open. The new line will run from Council Bluffs to Rockport, Mo., passing through Glen- ' wood and Hillsdale In Mills county and I Bldney, Riverton and Tabor In Fremont ! county ' at the southwestern corner of the I state. With the exception of Olenwood all 1 of these towns. It Is understood, have voted I a tax to assist the construction of the proposed line. As soon as the route Into this city Is definitely decided upon the com pany will, Mr. Davis stated yesterday, go before the city council for a franchise which will have to be voted on by the peo ple.

The business men generally cLi-c.s. r.ater in kitchen, cellar, shade. ' & ANNIS Telephone 96 sre understood to be opposed to It. and It 'is known that several of the aldermen do not rrgnrd It with any special degree or fa vor. The proposed ordinance Is regarded as en tirely too stringent In Its provisions, and that the proposed tax on all signs is un called for. One of the aldermen who Is opposed to the measure in Its present form stated jesterday that he would move to lay the ordinance on the table and let It lay there until It died a natural death. He wild he was In favor of letting matters stand as they do now, and that the more Illuminated signs the better for the city, ns such signs gave an air of business and helped to light the street at night.

FACILITIES INADEQUATE TO ATTENDANCE More fash la Also eded to Enable Karnlty to Pnrane Orlsrlnal Re search of Value to the Farmer. (From a Staff Correspondent) DES MOINES. Nov. 22. (Special.) The feature of the biennial report of the Board of Trustees of the State College of Agri culture and Mechanical Arts at Ames, transmitted to Governor Cummins, is the showing that la made in two directions, both calling for Increased appropriations and greater facilities for accomplishing re sults. The first is in the matter of general support of the college, and the other Is in that of enlargement of the work and In crease of departments, and branches of work along scientific lines. The report la the last of the reports ' to be filed. Presi dent Storms joins with the trustees tn recommendations, and it Is made plain that the entire board is harmonious and working to recure the greatest good for the college. At the same time the legislature Is not asked to do anything unreasonable, and the report merely places before the legislature the actual needs of the college. T)e legislature will hnve to decide what can be done in view of the growing needs of the college, and the plain showing of reason why there should he more appro priations. In reference to the support of the col lege. It Is shown by the report that a great Increase is absolutely necessary, unless the students are to be turned back to the farms. A comparison with former years shows that the present support fund of the college Is less than half, relatively speak ing, than In 1S84, the comparison being with the attendance; that is. It Is coating the state less than half as much per student in attendance to maintain the Institution as It did twenty years ago. Since 1881 the student enrollment has Increased 42T per cent, but the support fund has been In creased only 100 per cent. It is felt that the college must suffer unless there la re lief In thla matter, and the board asks an Increase of about $80,000 or STO.000 In the support fund, that the faculty may be en larged and the general work be strength ened. If the support Is generous, it is be lieved the college will have from 2,000 to i,600 studenta'wlthln three years. This will necessitate doubling the equipment at Ames, and doubling the facilities In nil directions. Money for Research. There will be asked increased omouuta for agricultural research for the college. Thla research will be taken up along four lines, namely, agronomy, animal hus bandry, dairying and horticulture. It Is the purpose of the experiment station to pursue soil and corn lnvestlgatlona. with special reference to tho conditions In Iowa; ilso Investigations In horticulture, and in dairy, cattle, creamery iind poultry investi gations. In animal husbandry It Is pro posed to carry forward with thoroughness the investigations into beef, swine, dairy, sheep and horses. To Jhln end a new dairy building Is asked, as tho present one Is be "omlng dilapidated..- More land Is wanted, to that the college will have its own dairy supply at all times, and money is needed to establish a large dairy herd. A strong plea Is made for establishment of an en gineering experiment station, and also for a good roads experiment plant. In these matters it Is stated that there Is great de mand for enlargement of the opportunities for business at the college. The report asks for' an appropriation to furnish the main hall as soon as It ig ready, so there may be no delay in remov ing from the temporary structure. A heat ing plant is wanted. The new engineering hall Is now nearly completed. Live Stock Delegates. Governor A. B.

INDIANS MOURN A FRIEND Interesting Ceremony at the Funeral of Mrs. Harriet Maxwell ConTene. MANY TRIBES SEND REPRESENTATIVES Members of Iroqnois Confeilera-y Joined by Slonx and Other In v Service nt Grave of "Krrnt White Mother." I NEW YORK, Nov. 22. In the pri-sonce of many representative cf the people to whom she had devoted her life, the last rllos were performed today over the body of M--s. Harriet Maxwell Converse. "The Great White Mother," of the Six Xatlons of the Iroquois confederacy. Kulogles were pro nounced by the dead woman's pastor and by the chiefs of the various clans, of the Seneca Nation, by whom Mrs. Converge was adopted when but n little girl, and one of the chiefs performed the ancient rite of "The pawning of the horns," which con sisted of taking the string of sacred wampum beads, the InsienU of office, from the lid of the casket and presenting them to Joseph Keppler, long associated with Mrs. Converse In her work amongst the Indians, by which act Mr. Keppler was nominated by the chiefs present as the successor of the deud woman. Mr. Keppler was adopted by the Benecas many yearx agro and bears the Indian name of Gy-onl-wu-ka, or "The Planter." In addition to the Relegates from the Six Nations there were present representatives of the Hurons, Sioux, Ablnkl, Algonqulns, Aztecs of Mexico and several other tribes. Rev. Or. Thomas H. Bill of Bt. Chry sostom's chanel. the dead woman's pastor, read the KpiKcopal service for. the dead, after which William Crow, a Seneca war rior, made a brief addreas in his native tongue, lnmentlng the death of the "Great White Mother." In speaking he addressed hlmrelf to the body before him and In con clusion Tishod her happiness In the spirit land. Then, turning to his tribesmen, he said: TVe have lost our best and dearest friend. In the many gifts the Great Bplrlt hns given uh there came nothing so beautiful as this woman. She wa- the most beauti ful of all our Rifts. She knew us and understood us. She stood between us ami those who would have wronged ux. It will be a hHppy task now for the Grent Spirit to make her a home In the happy land. Keppler Named Successor. Chauncey Abrams, also a Seneca, acting for. Chief Cornplanter, lifted the "horn!"" from the casket and presenting them to Mr. Keppler Informed him that he had been relected to take the Great White Mother's office. Then, turning to the coffin, he said: ."I wish you, Ga-le-wa-noa, a safe and happy Journey to the spirit land." Mr. Keppler, In accepting the undent "horns," promised to faithfully administer the trust Imposed In him by his red breth ren. Chief Cornplanter followed, wearing under his vest a red sash, the badge of the high priest of tho "Oon-ol-dld" re ligion, lie expressed his grief in a few words of broken English while tears streamed down his face and then sank back In his chair, buried his face in h'.s hands and wept. Iark Cloud, a magnificent looking Indian, with hair streaming below his broad shoulders, said: I am not a Seneca, but I come of tlx Dcnlkee tribe. I know the Great White Mother, as every red man In this land knows her. She studied the Indians' re ligion, the true religion. It is founded on the true God. Our God touched this woman's heart and she understood us. She was the angel of God. We may not have a Christ in our religion, but we have u mediator, and she was the great mediator between the whites and the Indian. We see our God we hear our God. we see II lm in the trees. In the rivers and even in a blade of grass. Just as we hear Him in the rustle of the leaves In our foiestH. Ours Is the God of nature. She was a leader to us. She Inspired us to better thina; we loved her, and now she is aone from us. Mut while we are sad, It Is for us that we are sad, not for her, because she Is Ii ippy. We are Bad because we are left alone. I think ours is the sweetest of all the relig ions Addresses were also made by Chief Long fellow, Morris Iugh and Carlos, an Aztec Indian from Mexico.
