n of Council Bluffs met with Prof.
Charle A. Cummlnga. the local member.
The superintendent of work haa been get
ting out estimates for some time fur the
work to be done. The commlstilon has
only a small amount of the funds avail
able for this year, hence the work has not
been hastened, and It Is the intention to
have most of the work done on contracts
wtalch will be done at one' time. Jt Is ex
pected that a great deal of the work will
be done next winter. The first work to
be done, and this will be commenced at
once, la that of restoring the supreme

vasses which adorned the celling fell off.
These were uninjured and will be returned
to their places, but the walla will have tn
be frescoed again snd the ceiling will be
mucn repaired. The- court has aaked that
thla work be done during the summer va
cation, and. the commission Is planning to
begin now. The commission will ultimately

pairing the capltol. j
Flremea Rapes Postponed.
The races of the State Firemen's asso
ciation for todsy were postponed until to
morrow, with good prospect that the re
mainder of the races will be abandoned.
The heavy rains last night and today
made it impossible to continue the races
at this time, and there are indications that
they cannot be completed tomorrow. The
tournament was one of the best and largest
attended ever 'held In the state and com
bined both the paid departments and the
Volunteers. The races were unusually fast
and some fine work . wss done. Great
crowds attended the meetings, which were
held on the state fair grounds.
I Hay Banker is Still Alive.
The story haa reached Dea Moines to the
effect that Frank La Hue, the Coming
banker, who Is alleged to have killed him.
elf last winter, la not dead at all, but
that the story o his- suicide is a fake and
that he Is now enjoying the benefits of his
Ill-gotten money. LaRue was reported to
have attempted suicide once before. When
aa lnveitlvn tlnn K-...n ,.
quietly held. -Now the Investigation shows
hat nearly $100.000 of money In-the bank
is entirely unaccounted for and there Ja
no theory on which his friends can show
that ha squandered the cash. Then he had
150,000 6f life Insurance which was payable
even n case of suicide, and this has been
received by hla wife. All these and other
things are being considered and the theory
has been evolved that LaRue did not kill
himself, but Is still alive and In hiding.

. ' John Travis, superintendent of ths Clark
county. South Dakota, poor farm, accom
panied by his wife and little daughter, ar
rived in Council Bluffs last night enroute
to ths St. Louis exposition. Whether they
will continue their journey or return home
Is a matter of doubt. The truth of the
matter is when Mr, Travis arrived In ths
city last night he had little left except
his baggage and return transportation,
outside of some small Changs which his
wife carried In nr. pockstbook. On lea v.
Ing Huron yesterday morning Mr. Travis
had tucked away la a poeketbook In his
inside pocket 1100 n greenbacks and a draft
on hla home bank for 160. On reaching
the Transfer depot last evening Mr. Travis
had occasion to msks requisition en the
greenbacks, when to his dismay he discov
ered that his poeketbook and all his money
ha'd.vanlshed.
Mr. Travis who Is an elderly gentleman
of an apparently benevolent disposition,
remembered having had a more or less In
teresting conversation on the train with
two strangers who were, like himself,
bound for the St. Louis exposition, and
he thinks It possible that they may have
succeeded In abstracting his poeketbook
unawares te blm On the other hand Mr.
Travis does not like, to cast suspicion on
any person even though he be a stranger
and he ' thinks It might be possible that
be left his poeketbook under his pillow In
the hotel where he and his wife slept
Tburdsy night before leaving Huron. He
telegraphed back to the hotel, but up to
midnight ' last night had received no
answer.

under instructions Issued, It Is said, by
Mayor Macrae, has given official notloe
that no toy pistols, cannon crackers, dyna
mite caps or the discharge of blank cart
ridges from revolver or shot gun will be
permitted on the Fourth of July, no order
haa been Issued . prohibiting the. sale of
these dangerous and nolss-produclng arti
cles. - On the other hand, ' the dealers In this
class of explosives have called upon the
chief of police and asked If they were to
be prohibited from the sals of such ar
ticles snd In each Instsnce they have been
Informed that there Is no city ordinance
prohibiting their sale. At the same .time
Chief Richmond Informed the dealers that
while " they would not be Interfered with
In the eale of such explosives, any person
found using .them would be at once ar
rested. Local dealers In fireworks and other
Fourth Of July explosives had prepared a
petition which they Intended to present to
Mayor Macrae, protesting against the em
bargo, but when Informed by Chief Rich
mond they could sell all of such stuff they
could find a msrket for, they decided that
such a petition would be unnecessary. It
now remains to be -eeen with the sale of
the prohibited explosives permitted, Jiow
far the order of the .chief of police as to
the' prohibition of their explosion on the
publlq streets will be obeyed by the youth
ful and adult celebrants of the great na

Edward Shipley, local agent for the Oreat
Westrn Railroad company, appeared In
police court yesterday morning with a big
bandage over his right eye. X removal of
the bandage disclosed the fsct that the
eye was In deep mourning. Mr. Shipley
had not been cutting kindling wood for the
family, as he Is as yet unmarried, but his
darkened optic cost H. J. Ryan, a brake
man on the Oreat Western, nothing short
of 3S snd costs. r
Rysn, who Is a big, muscular fellow,
while Mr. Shipley Is of diminutive stature,
was laboring under the impression thst
the local agent "had It in for him," and
Thursday evening when Mr. Shipley had
occasion to call Ryan on the carpet Ryan,
ks he admitted to Judge Scott in police
court, simply "handed him one." The evi
dence showed thst the asssult was en
tirely unprovoked and the court, after
making a few calculations on the back of
an old envelope, figured that the pleasure
which Ryan had derived In handing hla
superior "Just one" was worth at ths pres
ent state of the market at least $28 and
costs, leaving ths question of whether Ryan
will continue to bold his Job or not to the
officials of the Great Western to decide.
