INVOLVES SAME IDEA AS ETNYRE SCHEME
ft Only Most Effective, bat Cheaper
Than Keeplos the Creek Upea
tor Rataral Flow to the
Klver,
In view of the atrttatlon to provide some
means for securing an adequate drainage
system for the city and to prevent the
periodical overflow of Indian creek, the re
port of Civil Engineer Benesette Williams,
who planned the drainage system of Coun
cil Blurts, made In Augunt, 1884, to the city
council, la of more than passing Interest.
Regarding Indian creek Engineer Williams
In his report said: .
The most difficult thing with which we
have to contend, as It In now the greatest
drawback to the city's prosperity. Is Indian
creek. The whole length of Indian creek
tvnrth of the south line of the city Is
roughly estimated at ten mile, of which
Bbnut four and a half are within the cltv.
The total area of the watershed is taken
at fourteen and a half souare miles, of
which about Ave and a half square miles
lies within the city.
Passing, as It does, through the heart of
the city, with high bluffs on wither side for
a considerable portion of Its length, there
would at first glance appear to be no way
,xcept to allow It to kwp about Its present
cyiurae, subject to artificial control. The
pin, however, which I believe would ulti
mately be to the best Interests of the cltv
an' which will be the cheapest If the creek
Is ver to be enclosed, Is the following one:
Direct the creek from Its present chan
nel vt the north city limits', as has been
propra'ert, by means of a tunnel through
the Mk'ilTs to the Missouri river, draining
the niv square miles of territory above
the city.
Ilulld a storm water sewer In the present
channel f the creek from the north city
limits to Main street, thence along the foot
of the Itfcjffs northward to the old cut-oft
of the rWer, keeping It nhove high water
In the river for the most of the way. This
would drstftr the high level portion of the
Indian c.etk dlHtrict within the city,
amounting .pproximateIy to two and a
naif square nulea.
For the low r portion of the Indian creek
district. Including the watershed of the
Graham avenue glen, one main sewer
should be built, following about the pres
ent coutbo of ttu creek below Broadway to
the city limits And thence In the most
direct fine to tfh cut-off of the river In
section 14.
Hy these three) main out-falls Indian
creek could be eritylrely obliterated In the
cheapest possible nianner, for the reason
that the shortest and most direct course
to an outfall woul be followed In the
various parts of the district.
The following Is a rough estimate of the
cost of providing thest) three main outfalls
for the Indian creek watershed. Before an
estimate can be made n'lth ordinary exact
ness more Burveys neerl to be made. It Is
based uporl the assumption that no water
Would be encountered In tunneling through
the bluff, that would sielously Interfere
with the operation:
7,000 feet of tunnel through the bluff
at $30 1210,000
MAIN FOR HIGH LEVWL. DISTRICT.
8,000 feet of 8V4 feet sewer
at $16 J120.000
1,600 feet of 8 feet sewer
at $14 85,000
2,600 feet of 1 feet sewer
at $U .. 30,000
2,000 feet of 6 feet sewer
at $9 18,000
2,000 feet of 6 feet sewer
at $7.60 15,000 $318,000
MAIN FOR LOW LEVEL DISTRICT.
1,000 feet -of - IS feet -aewer
at $18 $ 36,000
1,000 feet of feet sewer
at $17 84,000
1,800 feet of 8 feet sewer
at $16 28,000
L700 feet of 8 feet sewer
at $12 - ; 20,400
L600 feet of T feet sewer
at $10 16,000
1.60) feet of 8 feet sewer
at $7 ....... 10,500-$144.700
Total - $672,700
This estimate only goes to the south city
limits, the outlet beyond that for the low
level district not being Included.
We will now consider an alternative to
the above plan, which consists In main
taining an open channel through the city
from north to south, by which the whole
watershed of the creek fa to be drained,
the channel to be protected In the cheapest
possible way consistent with permanence.
For an unwalled channel below Broadway
the estimate la: Eighteen cubic yards of
excavation at 28 cents, $4.60 for each lineal
foot of ditch. The total cost of this Im
provement from the north to the south
city limits Is estimated as follows:
18.600 lineal feet above Broadway
at $28 $297,000
10,600 lineal feet below Broadway
at $36.60 - - - 372,760
Total ........ $669,750
To this sum should be added the cost of
the Intercepting sewer from Broadway to
the river cutoff, which would be dispensed
with If the first plan proposed were adopted
instead of the second one estimated at $66,-
too.
The cost of the two plans then would
Stand as follows: Tunnel plan, by which
the watershed of Indian creek Is drained
by underground conduits entirely. $T72.700;
open channel plan, $736,250; or $163,660 In
favor of the first plan.
As will be seen Mr. Williams took prac
tically the same position that City Engineer
Etnyre la- now taking; relative to Indian
crook.

Rob Two Stores.
Thieves broke into and robbed the meat
market of Martin S. Welker at VI South
Main street and the grocery store of E.
Meyer at 621 South Main street Saturday
night. The booty secured at both places
was small. The police believe that a gang
of young fellows Is responsible for these
two robberies and several others which
have occurred the last two weeks.
At the Welker meat market the thieves
effected an entrance by cutting out a pane
of glass In one of the rear windows. Here
they broke open the cash, register and se
cured about $1.60 In small change.
At Meyer's grocery store the thieves
forced the cover of the outside cellar en
trance In the alley and thus made their
way from the cellar to the store. As far
as he could learn yesterday Mr. Meyer
stated that the thieves secured a number
of cigars, a quantity of smoking and plug
tobacco and possibly some sacks of sugar.
They took about $2.00 In pennies from the
safe and scattered the papers found In It
about the floor. .
Within the last week or so the grocery
stores of John Olsen and Klein A Cohn,
on Broadway, and the hardware store of
W. B. Besley at 110 Broadway have been
broken Into and robbed. Indications are
that these robberies were all committed
by the same gang, the members of which
are known to the police although the latter
have as yet been unable to secure sufficient
evidence against them to warrant any
arrests. ,
Looklnsr for Runaway, l
Harry Shepherd, of St. Paul, Minn., was"
In Council Bluffs yesterday looking for his
runaway wife, who with her paramour
were supposed, according to Information
received by Shepherd, to be stopping at a
leading hotel. Shepherd sought the assist
ance of the police, but was unable to locate
his recreant spouse.
From what Mr. Shepherd told the police
a suit for divorce was pending and was
to have been tried at St. Paul today. Mrs.
Shepherd, however, disappeared Friday and
Is said to have left with a man named
Jones, but who has several aliases. Before
leaving home Mrs. Shepherd, so her hus
band alleges, secured about $5,000 worth of
Jewelry and securities which she took with
her. Mr. Shepherd Is more anxious to re
cover these valuables than he Is his wife.
Before proceeding to the hotel wjth an
officer In search of his wife Mr. Shepherd
left at the police station a big revolver as
he said he feared that If he came across
his wife and her paramour he might so far
forget himself as to do some shooting.
Mr. Shepherd is a mulatto, but would
almost pass for a white man. It Is said
he occupies the position of official pho
tographer for the Burlington system. His
wife Is also of negro blood, but light
enough to pass for a white woman. The
man she Is said to have run away with Is
white.

(From a Staff Correspondent.)
DES MOINES, June 12.-(Speclal.) State
Auditor Carroll, for the first time, Is able
to report that the state Is entirely free
from the "gold bond" Investment cettlfl
cate style of Insurance. A great outcry
was raised on account of this form of get
ting money from the people on extravagant
promises a year or two ago. There were
four big companies and two smaller ones
engaged In the business, all located In Des
Moines and they were bringing a great
revenue to the promoters. A campaign
was commenced to drive them out of busi
ness as fraudulent concerns. Several con
solidations followed and Anally one of the
consolidated companies sold out to a Chi
cago concern, the other was merged into
a Minnesota company, and the business
was all taken away. State Auditor Carroll
states In his annual report on life Insur
ance Just issued that he discouraged the
Issuance of these gold bond certificates,
believing it Impossible to sell such con
tracts on their merits. He states that he
Is not aware that any Iowa company Is
now Issuing any form of gold bond con
tracts, nor does he believe that such pol
icies or contracts could be Issued In com
pliance with the laws recently enncted.
As a whole, he states that the insurance
legislation enacted by the last general as
sembly will prove beneficial to the insur
ance interests as well as to the people of
the state.
Report Larger Receipts. ,
The reports of all the railroad companies
doing business In Iowa have been received
by the state officials, save a few of the
minor companies. These reports show that
as a rule the receipts of the companies
on Iowa business were Increased materially,
but that the net earnings were reduced.
This is because of the greater expenses of
operation the past year. Because of this
showing it Ib anticipated there will be no
Increase in the assessment of the com
panies of tfn state this year. Last year,
with a considerable Increase in net and
gross earning!! a great raise was made In
the assessment, and for two or three years
the assessments had been materially In
creased. Now it Is believed the limit has
been reached until the business is greatly
augmented.
Draining; the Lake Beds.
The state executive council will soon start
upon the important work of planning for
the drainage of several of the lakes or big
ponds of northern Iowa. Under a new law
this is left entirely with the council. That
body acts upon petition and the survey of
an engineer sent to report on the neces
sity for drainage. A number of largo lakes
In the state will be drained under this law,
several applications having been received.
The council will also Issue patents in cases
where the lakes have in fact been drained
and the oounties have sought to give ti
tle. The courts held this could not be
done, and now the council will proceed as
In the case of original drainage proposi
tions, but Instead of doing the drainage
will Issue patents direct.
State Will Get the Stone.
There has been much cause for fear that
the state would not be able to get the
stone necessary for the completion of the
state historical building, but the council
has received assurance positively that the
stone can be secured at the same quarry
In Marshall county where that was se
cured which surfaces the finished portion
of the building. There was a contract en
tered into which was somewhat Indefinite,
but it is believed an agreement will be
reached undur the contract for the re
mainder of the stone. ,
Six Months for a UbeL
Rev. F. C. Lomack, colored, will serve

Is appealed and a reversal had. Lornack
thus closea a peculiar career. He has been
pastor of a church here which was at
first affiliated with one denomination and
then with another. He served a sentence
once before in Minnesota. He has been ac
cused of all sorts of crooked work in con
nection with his church methods and he
had trouble with his wife and she got a
divorce. He nearly caused a split in the
Ministerial association, where it was found
necessary to reorganize to keep him out
of the membership.
Oiyxrnor Against Oxydouor.
Judge McPherson of the federal court
threw out of his court the petition of the
Amlmarlum company against Dr. Fllloon,
involving the-controversy between two med
ical devices known as "oxydonor" and
"oxygenor." Both were devices for the
alleged cure of certain diseases by a sim
ple method. An Injunction was asked by
one to prevent the other from doing busi
ness. Judge McPhorson, after a full In
vestigation, severely scored both of the
parties and doc lured that no person could
have a standing In his court with devices
which were so palpably of no value to any
body. CORNELL HAS UOLDEN JUBILEE

CARRIES DINNER FOR TOWN
Thlrty-Klght Hundred Meals Are Beat
from Mew York to Athens,
Ohio. v '
NEW YORK, June U. When the Royal
Limited on the Baltimore & Ohio road
pulls out of Jersey City Monday afternoon
on its westward run It will carry one of
the most remarkable shipments ever on a
train. Snugly packed In huge boxes In one
of the big cars will bo a repast for the en
tire population of an Ohio town.
The shipment is not sent for the relief of
the prosperous little town, but for a great
celebration to be known as "home-coming
week." The dinner giver Is Qeorge A.
Beaton, who was once an Athens boy and
who is now president of the American
Financiering and Development company of
this city.
The celebration will combine the 100th an
niversary of the town and the centennial of
Ohio university. Mr. Beaton Is providing
the edibles and O. T. Stock ham, proprietor
of the Criterion hotel In this city, has un
dertaken the task of arranging them.
Provision is being mmlc for 2,000 towns
people, 1,500 of their visitors and 300 in
vited guests, making in all 3.SO0 repasts. To
ship these safely over the 5x0 miles, which
will require twenty hours in transit, and
have them arrive In a pnlatnble condition
Is, needless to say, a remarkable under
taking, yet Mr. Stockham Is going ahead
with his plans with on much ease as If he
were serving dinner In the hotel dining
room. The menu will consist of olives,
sweet pickles, fried chicken a la Maryland,
ham sandwiches, chicken sandwiches, bread
and butter, rolls. Ice cream, candy, coffee
and lemonade.
When the lunches nrrlve in Athens not a
spoon or even a pinch of salt will be
needed to add flavor to them. The heating
of the coffee will be the only semblance of
cooking done there. Each portion of the
spread will be neatly packed In a round
pasteboard box shaped like a bird's nest.
The "nest" will be divided Into eight com
partments, one for each article, which will
be wrapped separately. Covering each
"nest" will be a souvenir plate nine and
one-half Inches in diameter, with a print
of the old college on it. Besides the plate
there will be a knife, fork and spoon. The
S.S00 "nests" will be securely packed In
huge boxes.

DEATH RECORD
Death of an; Army Telegrapher.
ATCHISON, Kan., June 10. Hon. Edward
Rosewater: I am informed that yourself
and Captain L. F. Sheldon, one time on
the United States Military Telegraph corps
and recently aaslstant superintendent of
telegraph of the Missouri Pacific Hallway
company, were personal friends. Yester
day morning I received Information of his
death In the Soldiers' home at Leaven
worth and attended his funeral there at
3 p. m. He had been an Inmate about two
years, and his death was the result of a
general break-down consequent, mainly to
his advanced age. He was given the usual
military tunerai.
There was a very oathetlo side to this.
at least to me. I had known him Intimately
since the war days. 1 had known that
there were scattered over this country
hundreds of men who had been many times
the recipient of his favor, in many cases
when they did not deserve It. Out of all
these there were but two present. Not a
member of his family or a friend. A few
old soldiers. A brief prayer. The rattle of
musketry. The echo of "taxis" through the
hills. The rattle of the clods, and No. 2B12
was anocd to tne number of the long lines
oi wnite neauooarus. sincerely yours,
A. P. COCHRAN.
Lemuel T. Sheldon and his brother,
George D. Sheldon, entered the United
States military telegraph service early In
1862. He was stationed at Fortress Mon
roe for several months and ptfftlclpated in
the operations of the army in Virginia.
On October 31, 1803. he was appointed su
perintendent of the military telegrapft with
rank of captain and ordered to report to
Commodore DuPont and General Sherman,
commanding the naval and military forces
in the Department of the South. Captain
Sheldon laid the cables and built the land
lines from Hilton Head Island to Tybee
and Fort Pulaski and another line to Port
Royal, making a circuit from Fort Pu
loski to Beaufort Bay. Thus General
Sherman, on Hilton Head, was kept In
communication with the naval commander
and forces operating on the reduction of
Fort Sumter in Charleston Harbor.

Telephone War On.
SIOUX FALLS. S. D., June 12. (Special.)
On July 1 a telephone war which
promises to be of large proportions will
be Inaugurated In this city between the
Nortwestern Telephone company and the
comparatively new CltlEens' Telephone
company. A large number of business men
have stock In the latter concern. Since the
new system was constructed practically all
of the business houses have patronised
both companies. A few days ago the pro
prietors of all the local meat markets
gave notice to their customers that on
July 1 they would patronize the Citizens1
comjany exclusively. In retaliation the
Northwestern company is credited with the
Intention of having another meat market
established, to be furnished with North'
western telephone connections, in order to
compete with the markets which have or
dered the telephone of the company taken
out on July 1. It Is Bald that other busi
ness houses, euch as the grocery stores.
may also order out the telephones of the
old company in the near future.

NEW YORK. June 1Z Thirty firemen
were temporarily overcome by tobacco
smoke and the fumes from alcohol early
today while fighting a fire in Holtss' cafe
on Broadway. The fire was confined to the
sub-cellar, in which liquors and cigars were

During the fire an ambulance surgeon was
stationed nearby to care for the firemen
whose eyes caused them Intense pain after
each rush into the smoke. The damage to
the restaurant was $100,000. The upper
floors of the building were occupied by
wholesale milliners and the loss on their
stock, which was practically ruined by the
smoke, Is also placed at $100,000.
Another early morning fire In the wash
