AGREE ON THE MERURBAN Council Committee and Promoter Dobbs Get Together on Ordinance. LINE SECURES CHANCE TO ENTER OMAHA Informs Council that Otherwise Fran chise Would Not Be Accepted and Rutil "Wo a Id Take Other Route. President W. J. Dobbs of the Council Bluffs, Tabor & Southern Electric Rail way company was present 'at a' meeting of the special committee of the city coun cil having In charge the matter of the proposed franchise for the Tabor line, with the result that an agreement was prac-. tically reached between Mr. Dobbs and the aldermen as to the terms of the proposed franchise, the committee withdrawing sev eral of the restrictions decided upon at the' last meeting President Dobbs started the ball going by Insisting to the committee that a fran chise which would prohibit his company from using Its line In the southern and western part of the city for passenger traffic would not be accepted and that the compmy would be forced to seek entrance to Omaha by a route other than through Council Itlufls. This he asserted the com mittee might take as final. In outlining the position of his com pany In the matter Mr. Dobbs said: VAny franchise which will prohibit us from us ing our southwest belt line from the School for the Deaf to the motor or Ter minal company's bridge for passenger ser vice wjuld be absolutely useless to us, as with such a franchise we would be un able to dispose of our bonds. We are willing that all our regular passenger traffic shall be brought direct Into the center of this city, but we must reserve the right to use the southwest belt line for special and excursion passenger busi ness. We expect to use this line for hauling excursions, not only, to Omaha, but from across the river to various points on our system. Then again, we irxpect to do a passenger business between ' Omaha, or at least North Omaha and Lake Man awa, and for this would cerTa!ftfy"have to use our belt line. Then again, our ex cursion trains will consist of two or more cars coupled together, and with such trains we could not make the sharp curves which will be necessa on the line through the central part of the city. Thus you will see such trains must necessarily be run by the way of the southwest belt line." ' Can Finance Road. Regarding the financing of the road, Mr. Dobbs said there would be but little delay after the franchise was granted, and de nied the statement of Alderman Lougee that In the present condition of the money market It would be impossible to float the bonds within a year or eighteen months. Mr. Dobbs' talk evidently had Its effect on the committee, as it was decided after more or less discussion Ale has the kbr dlnance drafted along the following lines: All regular schedule passenger trains to be run into the central part of the city along the route already planned and mak ing the loop at Curtis street. The company to have the right to run all excursion and special passenger trains over its southwest belt line. As the comoanv exnects to locate Its frela-ht deoot in the vicinity of Fourth street and Eighth avenue, it is to have the pilvilege of running its freight cars to me nepot irom Bixieer.m avenue along the streets named In subdivision one be tween the hours of midnight and 6 a. m. Work on the first section of the line, being that In the central part of the city, to be commenced by July I, 1904, and com pleted by July 1, 1906. Work on the second, the southwest belt line, to be begun within six months after the corrpletlon of the first section and completed within three years. These were practically the main points agreed upon yesterday afternoon, although there may possibly be some subsequent changes. City Solicitor Snyder and At torney Wright, represeiUbuw.thsyt. Tabor company, will draft an- ortfinsnce' in ac cordance with these terms and are to have It ready to submit at a 'meeting of the committee to be held Saturday morn ing. It Is expected that Messrs. . Sanger and Greene, representing the Boston firm of Hooper, Nlckerson tt .

KEEP THE COLORED MEN AWAY Ilmmrrsia and Bark Will Rot Be Brouarht Back latll Trial In District Court. The negroes, Zimmerman and Burk, who were taken to the state penitentiary at Fort Madison for safekeeping Monday, will not be brought back to Council Bluffs until the time for their trial on the churge of attempting to criminally assault Mrs. Mary Starks and her daughter, Mrs. Harry San ders. They have employed an attorney, and through him, before being removed from Council Bluffs, they waived preliminary examination and were bound over to await the action of the grand Jury, their bonds being placed at $2,000 each. They also em powered their attorney to waive their light to challenge the grand Jury, which will convene next Tuesday, and to appear for them In all proceedings which might arise before their trial, thus obviating the necessity of their return here before that time. From tho evidence now In possession of the authorities it Is practically assured that a number of Indictments will be re turned against the two negroes, but they will be first tried on the most serious charge, that of attempting to criminally assault Mrs. Starks and Mrs. Sanders. George Knight, one of the three men arrested for being implicated in the riot at the county Jail Monday night, was re leased yesterday, and his hearing continued until January 15. Knight's bail had been placed at $1.0U0, but on motion of Assistant ant County Attorney Hess this was re duced to $5d0 by Judge Carson. Knight's employer, C. Carlson, a grocer at 1022 West Broadway, was security on his bond. Charles Stevenson and Nate Bethers, the other two charged with inciting the riot, are still behind the bars at the county Jail, and the date for their preliminary hearing has nut yet been set. EXAMINE THE LIBRARY PLANS Board Spends Evening; with Then, but Benches Re Definite Cencluslens. The Board of Library Trustees met last night to Inspect the preliminary plana for the Carnegie library building prepared by Pat ton Miller, the Chicago architect. Several minor changes In rhs interior ar rangement were suggested, but nothing was definitely decided upon. The plans call for a building of French classic design, with a frontage on Pearl street of 121 feet. Instead of 125, as origin ally proposed, and a frontage of sixty-five feet on Willow avenue facing Bayllss park, with a fifteen-foot extension for the stock room on the west side. The entrance on the Pearl street side Is adorned with ftlx heavy columns, while that on Willow ave nue has two. Both entrances have artistic capitals. The plans provide for stone for the entire exterior above grade, with an alternative of brick, with cut stone base ment and trimmings. The building la two stories and basement high. The question of a tile or copper roof has not yet been de cided by the board. In the basement are, besides the boiler and generul toilet rooms, the newspaper room, the packing room, a stock room and a room for club meetings. On the first floor are the general delivery room, children's rending room, general reading room, reference reading room, pri vate consulting room, librarian's office and stock room. AH these rooms open oft from a large hall. On the second floor are an auditorium or lecture room capable of seating 300 per sons, with an elevated platform at the west end, museum and art room, second reference room, board room and committee room. The entrance halls are to have marble and mosaic floors and marble wainscoting. The delivery room will have marble wain scoting and mosaic border for floor. The finish for the greater part of the rest of the building will be quarter-sawed white oak and the floors will be of oak.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 30.-Mlnlster Squlers has for the second time within six weeks curtailed his leave of absence and returned to Cuba. It is understood that the rather extraordinary legislation pending In the Cuban congress requires the presence on the spot of the American minister. The proposed changes in the Cuban tariff schedules are regarded in some quarters here as tending to vitiate the spirit, if not the letter, of the Cuban reciprocity treaty.

POLITICS AMONG TEACHERS Indications Art that Superintendent Barrett Will Win Out. COMPULSORY EDUCATION A SUCCESS Few People Will He Able to Witness Inaugural Ceremony on Account of Limited Capacity of Opera House. (From A Staff Correspondent.) DES MOINE8, Dec. 30. (Special.) The politics of tho Etate Teachers' association came to a head this afternoon when the committee on nomination of officers was named. This committee Is chosen in four different departments of the association, three from each department, and the com mittee practically names officers. It was simmered down to a square fight between the friends of the present state superin tendent .and those of Superintendent Adams who was a candidate last year, and there were side Issues related to the management of the school business of the state. The friends of Barrett won out, and It Is regarded as very probable that the president of the association to be elected on Thursday will be Prof. D. 8. Wright of the State Normal school. A strong candi date, however. Is Prof. tv D. Wells of Davenport. The features of the general association meeting today were the addresses by Pres ident Storms of the State college and Prof. Burrett, state superintendent. In his ad dress to the teachers of the state, closing his career as head of the educational de partment. Prof. Barrett made an earnest plea for continued effort toward uplifting the schools and establishing those of Iowa on a perfect basis. Dr.' Storms also spoke along the same line with regard to the necessity for higher education. The morning session was closed by the address of Dr. Nathaniel Butlor on some present day Ideals. In brief he said: "In the past the Ideals were that the pupil should be taught to know and think, while we are now giving equal Importance to in tellectual, social and spiritual, and educa tion has organised Itself with reference to these four co-ordinate Interests." Compulsory School Attendnnce. Much attention was given In the sectional meetings to the subject of the compulsory attendance law. M?. Conaway, member of the Des Moines school board, before the school board section spoke of the experi ences of the district In the enforcement of this new law. As tho law was enacted at the request of the labor unions of the state, the school board believed that better re sults could be obtained by placing the en forcement In their hands. For this reason a truant officer was selected from their ranks, and the success of the West Des Moines district was largely because of this action. The compulsory law in the state Is well enforced, as Is shown by the sta tistics taken from the state superintend ent's report, now in the hands of the printer. Out of a . total school population of 387,9X9 there are. but 9.198 of school age out of school, being less than 2Vs per cent. Of this number there are only 490 more boys than girls. Shelby county has the lowest number of, truants, Blx males and four females. pjwesh.lek next, eight males, six females. Fremimt county, nine males, seven females. Dubuque county has the largest number, having 111 males and 416 females. Mahaska county' has 224 males and 231 females. Monroe county, 192 males and 129 females. Vapello, 209 males and 124 females. Polk county, with the largest population, has 97 males and 56 females. Scott county has perhaps the lowest per cent, there being but 15 males and 22 females. State Labor Commissioner Brlgham In his annual report says there are 2.G30 chil dren employed in factories and stores. This accounts for about one-third of the num ber out of school. An estimate Is made that about one-third are at work on the farms, and the other third is on the streets and alleys. Losler Case Is Appealed. . The Iowa supreme court gets a chance to pass on the merits of the Webb City "Athletic club" and its way of doing busi ness, for Leon Lnzler, the western. Iowa foot racer, has appealed his case from Pottawattamie county. He and Ed Moore were convicted before Judge Thornell of conspiracy to defraud Charles Gregory and William Barker out of about $8,000 In con nection with a fake foot race at Webb City Mo., in connection with John Grimm. ' Kenr Can See Inauguration. The Joint committee of the legislature qn the Inauguration has arranged to have the ceremonies take place in the Foster opera house, which Is one of the smaller houses of -the city, after which the party, lnclud Ing members of the legislature, will be driven to the state house. Only a limited number of persons will be able to get Into the opera house to witness the Inaugural ceremonies, which are to be brief, the only address being that of the governor. There will be a parade of the members of the legislature to the state house in carriages, accompanied by two companies of the mi litia resident In Des Molnea. The inau guration will take place January 14. The governor's biennial message will go to the legislature on the opening day. Robbers Oct Good Haul. The second-hand store and pawnshop of O. Cohen on Walnut street near Fourth was entered last night by robbers, who broke open the safe and took therefrom cash and valuables worth about $8,000. The valuables consisted of watches and dia monds. The safe had been broken with dynamite and the contents of the room were scattered about In a manner to Inill cate that the robbers had worked at leisure In searching the place. The police knew nothing of the robbery until after Mr. Cohen had opened the store. The work wss done In the heart of the city. Bring; Them Buck te Iowa.

PE8 MOINES, Dec $0. (Special.) Butter shipments from the state of Iowa last year showed a marked Increase over the pre vious year, and. in fact, an Increase over either one of the previous four years, but the aggregate shipments out of the state are not yet back to the record years of 1896 and 1897. The total net pounds of butter reported as shipped for the yesr ended October 1 last was 77,079,794. This was a gain of, 4.3n5,2io pounds over the prevlouu year. As butter prices have been generally good the past year, the value of the prod uct probably ranks well up with the best years. The greatest year was In 1897, when there was shipped from the state over 83.000,000 pounds of butter; but as long ngo as 1F90 the total shipments were 71.OHO.000 nnd over. These figures are obtained an nually by the state dairy commissioners from the records of the railroad companies. They all keep accurate records of the ship ments. These are returned by stations to the commissioner and' he compiles the table by counties. The reports are In ship ments, Including the packages, .and this Is reduced to net pounds. The total aggregate weight of the shipments for the past year was 91,761.661 pounds. Of the net product shipped this year 64 per cent came from twenty-seven counties of the state, from each one of which over 1,000,000 pounds net of butter was sent to the market over the lines of railroads. The aggregate from these twenty-seven counties was nearly 60,000,000 pounds. Woodbury Is Lender. The butter area Is scattered well over the state, the best county being Woodbury, in the western part, and several of the largest shipping counties being on the Mississippi river. The creamery section, however. Is in the northeast, where a maloritv of the heavy shipping counties are located. Only one county.
