Yesterday morning at S0 : o'clock the fire
> cll rang violently for some tlmo and caused
a great commotion , many thinking that the
vholo city must bo on flro. A Urge
rowd was attracted to the corner of
Iryont street and Washington nvcnuo to
oo what was the matter , and It wai then
Iscovoroil that the alarm had boon given to
call together those who wore wilting to engage -
gage In the search for W. 11. Poster , the
nlsslntf ilorlst. A crowd of sovonty-flvo or
00 was soon collected , m'any of whom
vcro mounted. They proceeded to tbo rest-
lonco of the missing man , where they
divided into small squads and began a
borough and systematic search over all
that part of the oojntry. Hoforo they
started L. A. Casper , who nad organized tbo
larty , announced tbat n reward of $50 would
paid to the man who should find Foster ,
dead ornllvo , and the members of the party
word thus Induced to put forth cvory effort
to niako the search a thorough ono.
Ono purtv scoured the whole bottom from
the Northwestern depot to the river on both
sides of Broadway , : i second took the
eastern part of the city from the crcen-
louse to the river on the north , while
third covered all that section of
tbo country in the vicinity of Dig Lake.
Every place where there scorned iho slight
est possibility that a dead body could bo concealed
coaled wa made the object of a close sear en ,
but nothing was found that would throw any
light on the present whereabouts of the miss
ing man.
As time wont on and no news was heard
the wildest rumors began to circulate. It
was reported that ho had boon found In
F.ilrvlow cemetery , dead , with a terrible
hole in his buad , and almost innumerable -
numerable similar reports with alight
differences of circumstances were heai'd on
all sides , while the telephone wires between
the city and the greenhouse were kept hot
with the iiuostlona and answers that kept
rolling back and forth. The disappearance
was almost the only subject of conversation
on tbo street corners.
The question was asked many times during
the day why the furnaces at the greenhouse
had not boon cleaned out and the nines ex
amined In order to satisfy the suspicions th t
existed in many minds that , perhaps
Foster had been robbud of what monov
he had about him and then thrown
Into the furnace. No such search was
made until the Bros had burned many hours
and when it was made of course there was
nothing to to found. Tno theory that the
man mot his death In this way , however , Is
not believed In by those who have b3en in
vestigating the affair , us a largo croud was
collected at the greenhouse within a couple
of hours after ho disappeared , und the burn
ing llosh , If there had been nny , would surely
huvo boon detected by the odor.
Yesterday several people turned up who
claimed to nave soon Foster at dllleront
times since his dlsnppoarancs , some of them
on tbo motor going to Omaha , others having
met him on iho streets. One man oven wont
so tar as to sav mat ho hod talked with him
on the street Sunday night.

A meeting of the directors of the Union
Depot company was hold Monday evening
for the purpose of hearing a report from
George F. Wright and W. H. M. Pusoy with
reference to the recent conference they had
in Chicago with the managements of the
various roads centering in Council Bluffs.
This confcrenco was attended by rep
resentatives ot all the roads with
the exception of the Union Pacific , and
Mr. Wright states that they were all very
willing to admit that something must bo
done before long In the way of improving
the depot accommodations or some line
morning they would wuko up and find
that their headquarters bad tumbled
down about their cars. They said
they bad been induced to postpone building
local depots by sorao of tbo representatives
of the Union Depot company , who were
afraid that any such move- would result hi
tbo dropping of the union depot scheme alto
gether. They all appeared to Do willing to
unite in building a'union depot or clso put up
buildings each ono for himself.
After talking over tbo Union depot plan
for the hundredth tlmo in all Its aspects it
was decided that the whole directory should
go to Chicago in accordance with an invita
tion extended to thorn by the managers of the
roads , and moot tbom to tahc over matters.

Thoao gentlemen will go to Chicago , prob
ably next month , n ben a meeting of the gen
eral managers of all the roads in the country
is to bo held. It Is hoped that some definite
conclusion will bo arrived at.
Tbo apparent wlllincness of tbo railroads
to discuss the maltor at this late day , however -
over , Is viewed with distrust by some citi
zens \\ho claim to bo able to see farther
ahead than Iho ends of their noses. "I don't
know as I can sco Just what they are
driving at , " said ono of them venter-
day when Informed what action had been
takfii , "but I shouldn't bo surprised If they
saw tbo handwriting on the wall and como to
the conclusion that it would bo better to
make n show of yielding to the demands of
the citizens rather than run the risk of being
brought to terms by nn act of the legisla
ture. "
HODO has been deferred so long that the
hearts of tbo public have booomo somewhat
uuder the weather , but the future actions of
the roads will bo watched with some interest
nevertheless. _

There was a small audionca at the special
mooting of the city council last evening and
a brief but busy session was hold. It was
called ostensibly for the purpose of receiving
the plans of competing architects for the on-
arircmcnt and Improvement of the city build-
ng , but at least six of the aldermen know
that something rlso would como up ana ap
parently came well prepared lotakocaroof it'
Tbo plans submitted by Architect Boll for
the city building improvements were exam
ined mid discussed and dually approved , aad
the clerk Instructed to ndvortlso for bids.
The architects estimate of the cost was about
5,00'J , but the changes suggested and desired
will Increase the cost to $ il,000. ,
When tins business was disposed of the
council was ready to adjourn , but before a
motion could bo made to that effect Alder
man Van Brunt Introduced an ordinance
granting to John T. Stewart , president of
the Council Bluffs Si Omaha Motor company ,
the right to erect and tnutntaiu nn electric
light and power plant for a period of twuntv-
five years and to use such streets and alloys
us necessary fcr the erection of poles nnd
wires for the distribution of light and
power. The ordinance was road and n mo
tion followed to advance It toils second read
ing tuul Us adoption by sections. This
created u suspicion In the minds of Alder
men Casper and Brown that an attempt waste
to bo made to railroad another scheme of the
motor company's ' through the council , nud
they opposed It with energy. A motion by
Casper to lay it over under the rules for two
weeks was lost by a vote of 0 to ! i and Iho
original motion to read nnd adopt It by sec
tions wa * carried by the snmo vote.
All the ether uldcrmon were nnpnrimlly
satisfied but Aldermen Casper and Brown
could not free their minds of the suspicion
that it was a now lease or an increase of
poxvor of the motor company. The title of
the chatter was scrutlm/.od closely but there
was nothing discovered to confirm the sus
picion. It was simply named " .in
ordinance granting to John T. SUw-
art , his successors and assigns , the right
to manufacture and sell electrical machinery
nnd appliance * and to croct , operate nnd
maintain electrical plants and works in the
city of Council Bluffs to furnish light , heat
and power therefrom. " The sections were
read nnd adopted with some amendments ,
Casper amending section 1 by denying the
right of Stewart to stretch , bane or suspend
nny wires or other conductors lengthwise or
across the center of any street.
The prices to ho charged for incandescent
hgi ts were fixed us follows : For a sixtocn-
cnndlo power light butnlnir from ( I until 10
o'clock , 70 cents per month ; from 0 until
midnight , S. > cents : n'.l night lamp } of the
same power , $1.70. Tbo prices ut whlcn the
power is to bo furnished were scheduled us
follows : One-quarter horse power , running
continuously ton hours a day , $4 per month ;
one-half hor&o power , $ ( i per month : ono
horsepower , $10 per month ; two horsepower ,
$18 ; tbrco horsepower , ? i'J ; four horsopoucr ,
$ , U : six horsepower , f40 per month , and
larger motors nt proportionate cost. Alder
man Smith offered as an amendment to this
section that the company bo required to fur-
nUb ten sixteen cnndlcpowor lights for use
in the city building free of charge durin ? tbo
life of the charter , and tbo amendment was
adopted.
After the adoption of the sections Alder
man Wind asked for the suspension of the
rules nnd tbo final passage of tbo charter.
Both Casper und Brown again warmly op
posed it and wanted it laid over or
referred to the city attorney for
examination , Casper explaining that
while it might bo nil right ho could not free
bis mind of the suspicion that it was not
which had been excited by the unusual
hasto. The vote on the final passage showed
only tha Uvodhsentlnp aldermen opposing it
aud it was carried by a majority sufficient to
pass it over the mayor's veto.
Bids were rccolvod for the construction of
a bridge over Indian creek near L. Hammer's
rcsidonco. The King Bridge company
offered to build the structure for $780 : the
Missouri Valley Bridge company , through
its agent , Gcorga Wise , for $7i5 ! , und J. J.
Hathaway for $085.
The council then adjourned and Informally
discussed tbo electric charter , Iho favorine
aldermen assuring all otbers Interested that
it only conferred upon the motor companythe
privilege of utilizing their surplus power by
furnishing cheaper lights and power for small
manufacturing plants at reduced cost.
