CONTRACT LET FOR CITY COAL SUPPLY Vine Street, Which la to D Paved, Reduced to Width from Thirty Eight to Thirty Feet Wordy War Over Brick. The ordinance relating to downspouts Is to be rigidly enforced. This was the deci sion reached nt the meeting of the city council yesterday afternoon when attention was called to the fact that a number of owners of buildings on the principal busi ness streets had so fnr paid no attention to It. The ordinance, which gave owners of buildings affected until September 1 com ply with Its provisions, requires that all downspouts must be so constructed us" to either carry the water Into the sewer direct or under the sidewalk Into the gutter. In no case shall a downspout be permitted to empty the water over the sidewalk, as Is the case on so many of the large build ings. City Marshal Richmond waa In structed to at once look into the matter and see that the ordinance was enforced. The contract for furnishing the city with coal was awarded to the firm of Gilbert Bros, on their bid of $3.65 per ton for Cen tervllle lump in carload lots, f. o. b., with 40 cents per ton additional for delivery in ! the city aod 60 cents for delivery at the Indian creek dredge. Some of tho alder men at first were opposed to using such a high priced coal for the new municipal heating plant, being of the opinion that It would be more economical to burn steam coal. Gilbert Bros, will also supply auch hard coal as la used In some of the Are stations at 110.50 a ton, this being the regu lar retail rate. Alderman Gilbert Is a member of the firm securing the contract. The contract for brick sidewalks waa awarded to John Sklnkle and that for cement walks to E. A. Wlekham. Skinkle's bid on brick walks was: Four-foot walks, 32 cents a square foot, cash; six-foot walks, 45 cents cash, with 6 per cent added for certificates on both classes of walk?. Wl 'k ham's bid on cement walks was 14 8-10 cents a square foot cash and 16Va cents cer tificates. Red are Width of Street. ' The request of property owners on Vine street, which was ordered paved, that the width be reduced from thirty-eight to thirty feet, was granted, and Contractor Wlekham was authorised to move the curb ing four feet on each side of the street, for which he will receive 7 cents a foot. The cost of moving the curbing is to be taxed with the paving against the abutting property. Contractor Wlekham has a large quantity of brick on the ground and In formed the council that he Intended com mencing the paving of this street Monday. At the last meeting of the city council Alderman Tlnley declared that the side walk Inspector had complained to him that he had rejected a quantity of soft brick hauled by Contractor Wlekham for side walks on Avenue C between Twepty-flrst and Twenty-aecond and that later "some one," whom Alderman Tlnley stated he understood was the city engineer, had told the contractor that the brick was good enough and permitted him to lay them. That he had given any such instructions City Engineer Etnyre yesterday afternoon warmly denied and protested against such statements being made without any founda tion. A heated passage of words ensued between Alderman Tlnley and City Engi neer Etnyre. which was resumed after the adjournment of the council meeting, and for a while It looked as if the dispute might end in a personal encounter, but this was averted by other aldermen Interposing. The city engineer was Instructed to notify Contractor Harden to' replace all soft brick on the sidewalks on Twenty-third street between Broadway and Sixth avenue with proper material. Pavement Is Damaged. Contractor Wlekham complained that the water and gas companies and plumbers in general tore up the brick paving without securing the necessary permits, with the result that the paving was Improperly re laid and in a short time the streets were full of holes and depressions. The city marshal was Instructed to look into the matter and see that the ordinance covering It be enforced. Aldermen Younkerman, Gilbert and Olson wero appointed a special committee with power to act In the matter of changing the grade of the sidewalk on the north side of Broadway between Main and Scott streets. New cement walks are to be laid In front of several of the buildings on this block and It is desired to have the grade uniform along the entire block, which at present it is aot. IteKratlna Is MkM.

APPEAL FOR t'HHlflTf. HOME Friend of Orphanage Aaked to Assist In C'oatlnaln Work. The death of Rev. J. G. Lemen, founder and manager for twenty-one ytars of the Christian Home orphanage in this city, where 226 children have to be cared for Is a matter of deep concern to the friends of the Institution In this city. They realise that every effort possible must be made to keep the Institution going but this can not be done without funds. In view of the extraordinary situation they decided yes terday on Issuing the following appeal to the friends of the Institution: To the Friends of the Christian Home: Now In the time of all others when the home nfeds our aid. The Irreparab'e loss It has sustained In the death of its founder and manager mnkes it especially necessary that we act promptly In sending remit tances. Mr. H. R. Lemen. the assistant manager, haa charge of the work. There are at pres ent 23o chllilren in the home depending upon the home band. He will need every encouragement In his enlarged Held. He has been assistant manager for a long time and Is familiar with the work and la compentent and worthy of our support, of unquestioned Integrity, energetic and has every accomplishment necessary to carry out the stupendous work of the orphnnage. This he cannot do except by the united effort of all the friends of the home. The work of the home cannot stop for a day. Its founder and for twenty-nne years Its manager, and his beloved wife, who devoted their lives to the work, in tended it for a!l time. All the property Is held by the home In lis corporate capacity, and upon their son, whose appointment as manager was reaffirmed by ills acceptance of the position at his father's request in his last hours, now rests tho responsi bility to carry on the work. And In his behalf, and In behalf of the orphan children recommend that the home hand and every friend send aid at once, that at this time when the weight of responsibility rests so hravlly upon him, that he have the encouragement of support and that the work may not be crippled through lack of funds to meet obligations and current expenses before Thanksgiving apeclal offering.

The three men charged with stealing three horses, the property of Joe Stevens, member of a gang of gypsies encamped on Broadway and Thirty-second street, who were ar rested Thursday afternoon by Sheriff Mor gan of Mills county, were brough back to Council Bluffs yesterday afternoon by De tective Callaghan. They gave the names of Cleave Bowen, John NUan and George Clucas. The three horses, a delivery wagon and a set of harness were recovered. Clucas was captured near Glenwood with the entire stolen outfit, while Bowen and NUan were found in a camp at Pacific Junction. Clucas admits stealing tho horses, but says he waa drunk at the time and did not realise what he waa doing. He Implicates Bowen in tho theft of the horses and says that Bowen took the wagon and harness. The harness. It has been since learned, was stolen from the barn of F. Peterson on Twentieth street and Fourth avenue. The owner of the wagon has not been discovered, but the police believe It waa stolen in South Omaha. Bowen and NUan claim to have been working in the Dakota harvest fields. Clu cas, from letters found on him, haa been recently living In Lincoln and Omaha. When Stevens reported the theft of the horses to the police he offered a reward of $23 for their recovery, but is now trying to back out of paying it. Chief Richmond has doclded to hold Stevens as a witness and he will be placed under bond. James Haa Hla Troubles. B. F. James, colored, has a whole lot of trouble on his hands.

ONLY SLIGHT MARGIN BELOW WINNER transte Dlapearanee of "wedlsh Servant ftlrl Leads to Belief She Has Been Robbed and Mardered. (From a' Staff Correspondent.) DES MOINES, Oct. 2S. (Speclol.) State Dairy Commissioner Wright and the dairy men of the state express themselves ns well satisfied with the showing made by Iowa In the butter exhibit at St. Louis this year, and although hoping Iowa might carry off first honors in the final butter contest, the fact that the state came so close to it Is regarded as quite sufficient. "We got second place," said Mr. Wright, "but we rubbed Minnesota so hard that there was little glory in It for the north em state; and when we consider that we spent $1,750 at St. Iyuls while Minnesota spent upwards of $20,000 we ought to feel very well content in Iowa. We had two men from thla department engaged In working up Interest among the butter mak ers, while Minnesota had eleven men at work. We showed butter a quarter of a point below the highest, which came from Minnesota, and two samples which led all other states save Minnesota. New York won the banner for best average, but had only eleven samples, while we had nearly one hundred. We got two gold medals for high average of Individual exhibitors for the season. We brought to Iowa the silver medal for second best package of creamery butter shown. The silver cup for highest average at the scorings for the season, which went to Iowa, was for an average far above all others." Strange Case of Disappearance. There is much excitement unions the Swedish people of the city over the mysteri ous disappearance of Miss Anna Anderson last night. She was a domestic in the serv ice of Mrs. Joseph, In the north part of the city. She and her sister walked over to the east side to church last night and, re turning together, separated at the Vic toria hotel to go to their reapectlve homes. Anna' never reached her home and nothing has been heard of her. She would have to walk nearly a mile from where she was last seen. The sister declares she had quite a bit of money with her and she believes she has been robbed and killed. Decides on Amended Law. The supreme court decided a caBe In sup port of a law which has already been re pealed, to amend the defect which became visible on thiB identical case. In the case of Sarah Kuhn, who Is serving a life sen tence for the murder of her husband, she had claimed her share of the estate after his death and the court now awards it to her on the ground that the Iowa law which prohibits an Inheritance from one who has been murdered to one who has caused the death does not apply to the case of a wife, who does not In fact Inherit from her husband. The legislature discovered that the law did not cover this caBe and last winter amended the law so it would cover such cases. Mrs. Kuhn will get about $1,000 by this decision. Court Nearly Vp with Work. Chief Justice Deemer went to St. Louis last night and before going stated that the Iowa supreme court, which a few years ago was nearly a year and a half behind In Its work. Is now caught up as nearly as it would be advisable for the court to be, and that there Is now no reason why lawyers cannot get decisions In their cases always within six months or less from the time of appeal. He Issued an order that at the January term of court all caaes filed prior to August 10 be Included on the docket. This Is the nearest the court has come to being up to the attorneys for many years. FlRht the Insaranee Combine. Des Moines business men have formed an organisation for the purpose of fighting the Insurance combine and the rates which have been Increased on all Insurance In the city of Des Moines.

The In crease ordered in rates la said to amount to over 20 per cent In Des Molncs and In most of the cities of the state. Kidnaping; and Extortion. Insurance agents and one of their alleged victims are engaged In a remarkable fight In court. E. O. Jeannette, a native of Switserland, gave a note for $10,000 to W. B. Haines and G, H. Benkert, on account of an Insurance policy. Jeannette has been sent to Jail for alleged forgery in connec tion with a bnnk check which passed in the case and Halnea and Benkert are ac cused by Jeannette of having kidnaped him, taken him to a farm and under threats kept him there hid from his wife all summer.
