Most Be in Biuffa OTHERWISE NO STREET WILL BE DONATED If RIeatrle Road Destrea . to Bxttm On Across Rlrer Coaaellmen Say They Mail Coadema Rlsht-ol-Way. The suspicion In the minds of two of the members of the apeclal committee that the franchise asked for by the Tabor line1 was for the purpose of giving that company an entry Into Omaha over the bridge of the Omaha Bridge and Terminal Railway and not with the Intention of making Coun cil Bluffs Its terminus prevented any prog ress being made with the proposed ordi nance at the meeting of the committee yesterday afternoon. . In fact, when the committee adjourned, after spending the entire afternoon discussing the proposed franchise, the matter was about at 'the point where It started. Alderman McDonald mad . no secrecy about his position In the matter.. He stated he was willing to give the Tabor line a franchise even If It did Intend to go across the river Into Omaha. On the other hand. Aldermen Lou gee and Casper, the two other, members of the special committee, stated they were prepared to. go on record as opposed to granting the company such a franchise as would enable It to occupy the streets of the city for the purpose of carrying Its line Into Omaha. They took the position that If the Tabor line wanted to get Into Omaha and not make Council Bluffs its terminus. It should be compelled to secure Its right-of-way the same as other railroads had been obliged to do and that the city should not give it any fran chise to occupy Its streets for Its tracks. Aldermen Lougee land Casper- contended that while the Tabor line asked for a fran chise on certain streets for the purpose of laying Its tracks Into the business part qf tho city, ostensibly for Its passenger busi ness, there was nothing to prevent the com pany from hauling Its passenger cars direct Into Omaha by way of the route laid out In the southwestern part of the city, thua skirting the city proper. Both Aldermen Lougee and Casper stated they were, willing to approve on ordinance which would pro vide that Council Bluffs should be the terminus at least of the company's passen ger business a!nd that passenger trains should be run only on the streets named In subdivision one. Malcolm Green and E. M. Sanger, repre sentatives of the eastern firm which ex perts to finance the Tabor line, were pres ent for a short While before the close of the meeting and from their statements It was understood that they are willing that the ordinance shall contain a provision making Council Bluffs absolutely the term inus of the company's passenger bunlness. They told the committee that while the line expected to draw business, both freight and paasenger, from across the river It desired to make this city Its northern term Inus, absolutely.' Messrs. Green and Banger left for the east last evening and will not return here until the early part of January and it Is not expected that much further will be done In the matter until their return. t Christmas Tree) Candle, Tf sBoa. ; Christmas tree candles, 7c a box.

HOLDUP MEN ROB TWO WOMEN Victims Bo FrlajMeaed They Arc Rot Able to Give Description of tho Robbers. Two young women name'd Morris, living at 131 South Fifteenth street, were held up and robbed last evening by two men near the tracks of the Illinois Central railroad on Broadway. The young women were on their way home when the men accosted them and pushed them off the sidewalk Into the street. Each was carry ing a small hand bag,. In which was her pocketbook. The fellows grabbed these and then ran north along J.he railroad tracks. The young women were so badly frightened that they were unable to' give but a slight description of their assailants, one of whom they thought was colored and the other white. Earlier In the evening a repor was re ceived at police headquarters that two negroes had attempted to hold up Mrs. Clark in the same vlcnlty and rob. her of her pocketbook. Mr. Clark resisted and screamed an her assailants, seeing assist ance at hand, took to their heels. The police were unable, however, to locate Mr. Clark. . Doll Rockers, 8 Coats Today.

One of th' most unique Chritma pres ents seen In this city was that received by Frank B. Hahn from an old-time friend In Texas. At first appearance It looked like a handsome necktie of corded silk," but closer Inspection showed that It was made from the skin of a black diamond rattlesnake,-mounted .on red satin. : In the bow of the tie was a pin composed of eight rat tles. The diamonds of the skin give the tie the appearance at a slight 'distance of 'a check design. This unique tie was sent Mr. Hahn by Fred Sherman of Ban Antonio, known throughout Texas as "Rattlesnake Pete." as a reminder of the days Tie and Sherman spent years ago among, the "Jn Jun" in th wild and wooly west, V.
