The winter meeting of the Iowa State

block. Owing to the lateness of some of the
trains several of the delegates did not arrive
until several hours after Iho hour sot for the
oponlnx exorcises nnd no business of any
particular importance was transacted. The
early part of the afternoon was spent mostly
In shaking hands and renewing old acquaint
ances , nnd those \\cro douo in a way that
firemen only can appreciate. Tbo following

At 4 o'clocK Cblnf Levin of the local llro
department gave the visitors a chance to see
what the Council Uluffs llro lighters could do
when they wanted to. Ho escorted the
visitors to the corner of Main street and
Fifth avenue , where ho turned In an alr.rm.
The men had not been notified that he would
call on them for an exhibition , but they
.showed that the/ had not born napping by
niiy moans. Tlio hose cart from No. 1. on
South Main street , appeared almost before
Iho alarm had finished sounding , and pulled
up in front of the Keil hotel onu minute and
ten seconds after the alarm was llrst turned
In. No. : ) , corner of Main street and Wash
ington avenue , appeared at almost
the same instant in the other direc
tion , and was ono minute and forty-llvo seconds
ends In reaching the hotol. No. 4 , on Upper
Broadway , had considerably farther to go ,
but it was on the spot at the end of two min
utes and twenty seconds. The patrol wagon
arrived about the same lime , with Captain
Martin , who looked in vain for any thing that
required his services. Ho finally loaded up
a lot of the visitors and took thorn for a ride
lo thn police station , whnro they were re
leased. The big took and ladder truck , bet
ter known as the "Elephant , " reached the
hotel in thrco minutes und flvo seconds , and
was then driven lo the north sldo of the
Mcrriam block , whcro an exhibition of climb
ing was given. The big ladders wore hoistea
to the top of the building and half a dozen
liremcn run to the top , doing thcirduty much
moro gracefully than on 11 similar occasion
soruo months ago.
In the meantime a largo crowd cathercd on
the street , and ttm report was circulated that
tbo Merriam block was on llro. Tills report
caused a grc.it flurry In the otllccs , ind many
of the occupants locked their valuable papers
in their safes , seized their lady stenographers
in their arms and prepared to save their
lives. It soon became known , however ,
what was the cause of the Hurry , and the ex
citement subsided. The visitors expressed
thomsolvoi as much pleased with the work
of the liromon.
Last evening the visitors were taken to see
"Tlio Old Homestead" in the opera house ,
and thu regular business of tbo association
will be taken up this morning.

Now Sclicnu ! to Souuro the Great

There are quiet whisperings about the
probable building of another motor line to
Omaha to meat ttio publlu demand for a 5-
cent faro.
" 1 am not In it , " remarked a citizen whoso
name bad been rather freely used as the pos-
slblo father of tbo schema"aml I know really
nothing about It , but the fact that those who
ara concerned seem to ho acting so quietly
leads mo to think thcro may bo
something to It. I take no stock In railways
built In the newspapers , and as this scho.no
scorns to have been kept out of print it may
possibly rlpou into something that U really
worth printing. "
Every tlmo a move of this kind has been
discussed It has been conceded , appar
ently without any question of the
correctness of the statement , that
the existing motor and bridge
company would not , of course , allow any
other company to roll cars across Its brldco.
Whore can any now company get across )
That has been lha puzzler. Every time such
a scheme has been talked of the alternative
seemed conceded of choosing between the
wagon briduo attachment of the Union Pa
cific bridge or else the building of a new
bridge.
The location of the Lnion Pacific
bridge Is not desirable to secure rapid
and convenient transit for motor trafllo.
Tbo building of a now bridge in
volved such large expeuulturca that it
scorned impractical In vlow of tbo oxlstnnco
ol ono , which would prove a lively competi
tor.
tor.It seems passing strange that the publlo
mind Is In ipnoinnco of the fact that a now
company can boorgauizcd andean run Its cars
tight across the liurllngton brldgo , the same
as the present motorcars cross. The char
ter granted b.v congrojs has not been paraded
before the public and ono clause will bo to
many nsnowsy n bit of Information as has
been had for many a clay. The charter pro
vides :
And congress reserves the rlsht at any tlmo
to regulate , by approprlato Ii-Klslatlon , the
charges for froizhl ami passengers over siild
bridge ; all railroad companies deslrlnu the
IIHC of said bridge shall have and bo entitled
to equal rluhlH and privileges relative to the
passage of railway trains or cars over the
same , and over thu approaches thereto upon
uiiviiioiil of a roasonaiilo compensation for
such IHO ; am ! Incase thuownoror owners of
Fitld bridge and the ouvcral railroad compan
ies , nr any one ot them , desiring such u o
shall fall to agree unon the HUIII to
bo paid , and upon rules and upon con
ditions to which each shall conform
In uslnst said brldito all matters at
Issno botwcuu them , Including the llxlmrof
compensation fortheuso of Iho bridge shall
bo decided Dy the secretary of war upon u
hearing uf the allegations and proofs ot the
p.irtlos.
H seems , therefore , that n now company
will not have to build a brldgo , but can run
its cars over the present ono , ort such terms
as are fair and equitable. The present comp -
p my lias already established a low faro for
foot passengers crossing tbo bridge. It sells
fifty ticKcts for half a dollar or 1 cent a trip.
It surely could not charge another company
moro than n cent a passenger for the privi
lege of cross.ng the bridge , and perhaps a
much less rate could bo established. Hut
whatever the rate , it is evident that any now
company could cross tbo bridge by paying
the lulr price , decided by agreement or arbi
tration ,
This condition is cited as showing the
possibility of ( ho establishment of a line
with a o-cimt faro between Council Bluffs
and Omaha.
Another feature of the scheme ns now
talked Is the possibility of tbo new line
running along West Droadwny. It
has been demonstrated that the electric
car system will not prove objectionable
to adjacent property , but will help
build it up , us it has on Avenue A. H U pre
dicted that many owners of vacant lots on
Broadway will favor the running of on
electric line along that thoroughfare , pro
vided a li-ccnt fare can bo scented , so that
there will bo an inducement for tenants and
home-builders to rush In mid occupy the
land.

John iluntlngton , sr. , commenced a suit
yesterday in the district court against the
Souhegan National bank and A. F. Clatter-
buck , In which ho asks for an injunction to
prevent the defendant * from stopping in and
claiming a judgment against his property by
reason of notes ho signed as surety , some
years ago. The two notes which
buvo caused the trouble , are for
the aggregate sum of W.830. Ho alleges
that the notes were signed by J. F. Huntington -
ton and were secured by chattel mortgages
on his property. Afterwards , ho claims , the
notes were partially paid oil without his
knowledge or consent , nnd now notes given
for tbo balance , the tlmo for payment at the
same time being extended. Ho now claims
that the notes upon which ho went
security Imvo boon fullv paid off , nnd
that ho cannot bo legally held responsi
ble for these given later. Ho states that tno
defendants have seized his property under
the mortgage , and will inflict irreparable
injury upon him unless restrained by the
court. Ho asks that the forcclosuro suit bo
transferred to the district court of this
county , that tbo mortgage bo cancelled und
that an injunction bo issued restruinmi ; the
defendants from in any way disposing of tbo
properly they have seized.

Ofllcor Sullivan , of San Francisco , arrived
yesterday after Mortimer Fox , who is
wanted there for forgery and grand larceny.
The ofllcor neglected to stop ut Lincoln nnd
was compelled to go book to see the governor
and b'avu his requisition honored.
Parko Goodwin appeared before .Tudco Es-
lollo nnd made application fora writ of
habeas corpus to sccuro the release
of Mortimer Fox , who Is wanted In San
Francisco on the charge ot forgery and
grand larconv.
Ofllcor Sullivan returned last evening from
Lincoln armed with u governor's warrant ,
and the lumring of the habeas corpus case
wns continued until 'J o'clock today. The
crimes \\lth which Fox is charged were com
mitted on the 1st und llth of last month. Ho
claims that ho has been away from S.m
Francisco for two months , while the oftlcer
says ho has proof that his man wus there as
lately as October IT. This point will enter
largely into today's arguments. Tlio crime
for which Fox served two years nt San
Quentln was similar to the ouo now hanging
over him ,

V , Mass. , Nov. 18. The morning sos
slon of the lust da } of the dual convention of
the World and the National Women's Chris
tian Temperance union was opened this
morning with the usual devotional exercises.
The work of the morning wns rapidly taken
up. First caino that of social department ,
under tno charga of Mrs. Anna M. Hammer
ot Pennsylvania , the topic being "What Are
the Departments of Parlor Meetings , Flower
Missions , Stnto and County Fairs nnd Unfermented -
fermented Wlno Doing for the Prevention of
Intompsranc'cl"
Tno report of the flower mission , under the
superlntcndoncoof Miss Jennie Cassady. was
presented by Mrs. Hammer.
Mrs. Nichols of the state and county fair
department said that If you wont to ronch
people for the temperance cause go to the
fairs. In speaking of the Paris exposition ,
she said that President Carnet expressed
great delight In the corner devoted to the
work and the nature of the Women's Chris
tian Temperance union of the United Slates.
After much trouble It is qnito probable that
the World's Women's Christian Temperance
union will have a separate building nt Iho
Columbian exhibition. A plan of the build-
lug wns exhibited.
"Unformonted Wlno" had Its testimony at
the bands of Mrs. H , A. Esmond. The use
of nnfermented wine wns urged upon all con-
probations for communion. The bible wines ,
she said , were unfermented , and modern
church wlno should bo Iho same.
Mrs. Theresa A. Jenkins reported for the
local department. She made an earnest plea
for the unrestricted enfranchisement of
women. She said that every stale had re-
period prourofs to her , and a free ballot for
women is only a question of timo.
A pnom dedicated to Miss Francis Wlllard
by Miss Ella G. Ivos , and entitled "Goa Save
Our Queen , " was road by Mrs. Purington.
Mrs. Hannah J. Bailey spoke lor the peace
and International arbitration department ,
and her remarks were full of hope ot the out
look for the future. "Standlntr armies , " she
said , "will exist so long ns the world runs If
people cor.titiuo to use alcoholic drinks. "
It was voted that a telegram bo sent to the
president and government against anv bel
ligerent action on the part of the United
States against Chill. Prayer and bible road-
lugs followed.
"Consecrate Mo , O , Lord , to Thy Service
Now , " was sung by request of Lady Som
erset.
The afternoon was devoted to discussing
thfc common plans of wprlc and listening to
the report of the committee on resolutions.
The resolutions pledge members of the
union to renewed efforts in the cause of total
abstinence nnd prohibition ; recommend
the prosecution of department work ; emphasize
size total abstinence for the individual ,
and legal prohibition for the state ; rejoice
that "capitalists are percoivJng the iinanciul
bcneilts of prohibition by the many towns
being ostnblishcd with n prohibitory clause
in their charter and deed ; " urge women to
use every means praoticablo to secure equal
covornmeutal rights in state and church :
endorse that party which embodies in
its platform the enfranchisement of
women , the prohibition of the liquor traflio
and the preservation of the Sabbath ; con
demn the action of tbo State department in
issuing a circular letter to the United States
consuls in South and Spanish America in
structing them to gather all the information
possible regarding the boor trade in these
countries , with n view of extending this
business ; condemn the use of woman's
forms aud faces in pictorial advertising.
The resolutions also contain u memorial to
congress asking that body to ratify the
Brussels treaty relative to the liquor and
elavo trade in Africa.
Following the reading of the reports and
the adoption of resolutions , addresses were
made by Mrs. Bokarat , Maria Bella Ango-
llano of Italy and Miss Catharine Gueruoy of
Enclaud.
There was a brief memorial service for the
dead of the Women's Christian Temperance
union and the convention closed with the bene
diction.
This evening the Domorest gold modal

F. Alsop , D.D. , of Brooklyn , N. Y. , opened
the second day's proceedings of the Protest
ant Episcopal church congress this morning
with an address on socialism. Quoting the
fable of the man who killed the trooso that
laid the golden egg , ho urged adhesion to the
present system of social economies , and held
that if labor forced a change It might kill the
geese and lose the golden eggs. Ho did not
believe that the proscnt conditions were so
bad as they were made to appear.
Prof. Gould of the Philadelphia Divinity
school hold that the pulpit should condemn
constantly the moral evil of the present sys
tem , and man should bo taught to live in n
state of freedom , according to the Master's
teaching ,
Hov. II. M. Bartlett of Mont Cbanin , Del. ,
declared that , civon Christianity , democracy
was sure to come. After demo'cracy social
ism would come. Socialism must win Its
way against the most powerful Influences
that over besot a reform. It had no hope In
final success unless it could prove itself rea
sonable and practicable. Wo were already
well nloug towards socialism. Tbo move
ment could not bo stopped and should not bo
feared.
Hov. P. W. Sprague of Charleston. Mass , ,
said that the grout number of objections
against socialism were based upon the abso
lute misconception of its principles. Ho was
himself avowedly and openly a socialist. Ho
snld that the principles of socialism were the
ideals of Christianity.
Kev. W. M. Pratt of Dotrolt , Mich , said
the principles of Christianity and socialism
were alike except that Christianity went fur
ther than socialism ; wont further than Jus
tice , and even than mercy.
Kov. Klrltus of Baltimore said a most
radical and n tup id interpretation hud been
given to the scrlpturcs."Hollglon wus never
loss than common sonso. , When people did
not understand the Sermon on the Mount
they could not bo expected to understand
John Stuart Mills' political economy.
'
Henry George ot Now'Yprk had been sot
down as the next apoaUer , but us ho was
prevented from uttendlifg the concross for
domestic reasonx , Kev. Joseph Hunlintrlon of
Now York gave nn exposition of Henry
George's land theorlos mid endorsed them.

DID YOU SEE IT ?
The clouds were too heavy arid the
eclipse of the moon last Sunday eve was
not visible to the many thousands of
Omaha people who -wished to view it for
scientific reasons or from curiosity.
THE ECLIPS
may be seen all this week at our store.
It can be best seen from third floor , where
the extent , variety , make , style and finish
of our Overcoats eclipse anything of the
kind ever seen in this city. It needs no
powerful telescope or achromatic lens of
any kind to see the superiority of the gar
ments. It is
Visible to the Naked Eye
of the observer of ordinary intelligence.
If we were to state the number of
Overcoats sold last Saturday it would sur
prise those who have not seen the goods ,
and as we do not wish to tax the credulity
of such persons too far until a visit to our
store prepares them to believe all we say
without hesitation , we will not state the
number.
The prices sell the Overcoats. If you
put on one'of our
you will not want to take it off.
Next to an Overcoat , good worm
Underwear is more conducive to comfort
than any other portion of the wardrobe.
"We can give greater value for the money
in this line than you have been able to
obtain in any former season.
