jected to by Mr , Saundcrs , Gorham's attoi-

wanted the ballots nil gone over again In
order that It might bo ascertained if soma

the lack ot a signature would Invalidate
the ballot. Yesterday ho decided that It
would , and called for the re-opening of the
ballots , The result Is that Shea Is claimIng -

The city council held a meeting last even
ing for the purpose of confcirlng with the
committee appointed at the c ti/ens' meeting
some time ago lo secure employment for the
(
laboring men of Council Bluffs
Mayor Cleaver occupied the chaii and Al
dermen Drewlck , Gleason , Giahl , Keller ,
Nicholson , Rlshton and White weie present ,
vvhllo J. C. Do Haven , J. G. Lcmtii , W. II.
Knepher , Jacob Sims , W. W. Wallace , C.
M. Harl nnd Homy Delong formed the laborIng -
Ing men's committee.
J.O. , Lemon Introduced Mr. Sims , the sec
retary of the committee , who read a state
ment of what the committee desired. In
view of the fact that there are 400 heads of
families willing to work but unable to find
it , tlia following suggestions were > made
That Indian creek bo widened nnd deepened
at tlio mouth , cleaned to the city limits , and
only residents of Council Bluffs who have
families to support be employed In the work ;
that Kast Pleico stieet be paved ; that the
Crescent City road bo drained and filled
so as to keep It passable at all seisons of
the yeai ; that the alleys be cleaned and the
garbage ordinance bo strictly enforced ; that
the lallway companies be required to bring
tliclr tiacks to grade ; that work on the
streets by the "chain gang" be discontinued ,
and city pilsoners be put to work in seclu
sion on a stone pile , so that the work now
done by the chain gang may bo done by
reputable citizens.
Mr. Lemen followed with some further
suggestions the rcpavlng and sewering of
Oakland avenue ; putting In shape North
Fifteenth and North Twentieth streets to the
lake ; making a driveway of Avenue O to
the new bridge.
W II Knepher proposed that a committee
wait on Leonard I3verett for the purpose ot
Inducing him If possible to allow the creek
to bo widened where It ran through his land
City Attorney Ha/elton explained the sit
uation and showed that this plan was not
feasible , because Everett's tenant , whoso
name Is Coylo , stood ready to enjoin the city
at the Ilrst sign of Its adoption. Hazelton
then called for the committee to give Its
reasons for wanting the chain gang clls-
pensc'd with. The committee thought It was
a disgrace to civilization to have drunkards
and vagabonds worked on the Hticet.
City Attorney Ilazetton called attention
to the fact that the bonded Indebtedness
of the city was certilnly within a few thou
sand dollars of the constitutional limit , and
there was some question whether It was not
many thousand dollars In excess ot the limit.
In rcgard to the paving of Plerco
street most of the property owners were
opposed to It Moreover , In one place at
the Blily ot the Btieet there wau a strip ot
ground n rod wide and thirty or forty lods
long which vvas not vvoith the paving. This
would throw the burden on the city.
After sqmo little discussion , In which the
question of finance was Industriously shoved
to the front by the city olllu'als and just as
Industriously evaded by the members of the
committee , Mr Lemen offered two moro res
olutions , the IIrut of which was that the
o ty should buy the Chr.u nuqua amphitheater
and iiiovu It Into the city and that the
Omaha Terminal company should bo Invited
to build Us motor line between this city and
HiiHt Omaha this spring.
With reference to the paving of Hast
Plerco street the nmyoi said If the consent
of the property owners could be secured ho
should favor the proposition , Mr. Wallace
wanted a committee appointed to act with
the citizens' committee , and Aldermen
Nicholson , QliMSon and Rlshton were ap
pointed Htich n committee.

According to the testimony of James Har
ris , which was given In Justice Vlen's cotnt
yesterday , he. Bob Limerick , Al and John
Rachwllz , Charles Kerns and Grain Hie
James have been carrying on a systematic
robbery of freight cars In the southern part
of the city for months. A scheme vvas con
cocted whereby the thieves got into the cais
without breaking the seals. It Is Impos
sible to tell of how much the rullioad com
panies have been defrauded. It Is estimated ,
however , that they have lost f400 worth ut
the inside figure. It seems the fellows have
laid themselves liable to prosecution at the
hands of Uncle Sam , If the authorities care
to press the case. A butt of tobacco was sold
to John Peterson of Persia without a gov
ernment permit. Three caddies of tobacco
were sold to a man named Stunipf at Pony
Creek less than a week ago , and the de
scription furnished the ofllcers leads to the
belief that it was either Limerick or Rach-
wltz who did the selling In each ot these
rases. The same man also wanted to sell
Herman Bokemper of Pony Creek a ten-
gallon keg of whisky , claiming that one of
his friends had decided to go out of the
saloon business and he had undertaken to
sell out his stock at a heavy discount. Hall
himself sold a ten-gallon keg of $2.50 whisky

A AVmeiloy Answer.
Why should a sewing machine costing
$1000 at the factory retail for $5300 ?
Why should a bicycle costing $45 00 retail
for $12300 ?
Why should a buyer pay $12r 00 for a
wheel In Council Bluffs when dealers In
other towns sell the same wheel for $9000 ?
There are forty-one Waverlcys being ridden
In Council Bluffs , and every one has been
bought with money and not two-thirds paid
for with an old wheel , as has been the case
with three-fourths of the $12500 wheels bold
hero this year. Reader , If you do not buy
for money you hold the bag for the man who
got two pi Ices for his old wheel. See ? A
$1,000,000 corporation guarantees the Waver-
ley equal to any wheel made , and we see
that guaranty made good. Of the thliteen
riders mentioned In yesterday's Bee as buy
ing $125 00 wheeH two got wheels at cost , nlno
traded In old wheels at big prices , ono paid
over half in Jewelry and ono Is a son of

The executive committee of the Taxpayers

mltte * Is determined to test what class South
Omaha belongs to nnd a committee vvas up-
pointed to employ legal talent and go Into
the courts as soon as possible. The com
mittee are Messrs. Hunt. 0 N'elll and Geary.
The idea Is to enjoin the city olllclals from
collecting any salaries until the court shall
decide as to what class the city IB wet king
unclci. Tor some time the clt > council has
boon making levies , assessments , collecting
taxes ami paying sal.u Ics as a city of the
Ilrst class , while the tchool board has been
op ° ratlng their business affairs as a city of
the secoml clabs. The- question has been
agitated until the majority of the eitLcni
desire to know Just which proposition Is the
legal and correct one
Attorneys Lane , Montgomery anil Hell
have been letalneil by the committee to
take charge of the c.ibo ami will file their
papers within the ne\t twenty-four hours.
In case the court holds that South Onhh.i
Is a city of the s > ecoml class It will leave
matters In a bad shape here The old
council transacted business as a. city of the
first class nnd the new council has carried
out the same policy. An effort will be
maile to have the matter decided at an
early date. _ _ _ _ _ _ _

about that game. In fact , they have been
playing whist all vvlrjter and some reconl-
smashlng was clone when the secretary an
nounced the score of the players at the last
meeting. After a halt-dozen games h id
been played last night 'A Cucldlngton and
Will Mumaugh called all the gcusts into one
room nnd showed the players that they had
been using a deck all evening that had been
robbed of the four five-spots It vvas a good
joke and every ono enjoyed It ; but the
players didn't do n thing to President lay-
cox. He had split 'enough tricks during
the evening to come out winner , but he
couldn't understand why It vvas that theio
were only twelve tricks < out each hand.
There Is no mciubci of that party last night
who will pass a whist deck In the future
without counting tho' cards. The players
were : Mr. and Mrs nD.o L. Holmes , Mi.
anil Mrs. Ell H. Doud , Mr. and Mrs. C. G.
Jnycox , Mr. ami Mrs. J. 'M. Tanner. Mr.
and Mrs. W. P. Mumaugh and Z. Cwlillng-

- Mini Killing iiiliiiiit : | Spit Out a I'olsiiiiiMl
Applr.
NHW YORK , May 11. Tip , the big , mnn-
Mlllng elephant , gave the park commls-
sloneiH and favoied medical men a gr > Mt
deal of anxiety today and finally ballled
them in tlicli attempt to Mil him. When , a
few days ago , the conclusion was reached
tint the gigantic pachyderm was Incoiilgihlu
and constantly becoming moie vicious means
of ending his ensmgnlned career were dis
cussed The conclusion was reiched Wednes
day to kill him with poison , and cyanide of
potassium was selected as the moil likely
drug to do Its work quickly and painlessly
Tip has been the object of much Interest
since his doom was announced , and visitors
to his qmrters In Cential paik have num
bered well up Into the hundieds of then-
bamls. It was the Intention to admlnlstci
the fatal dose soon after daylight today , and ,
In order that the task might be the easier ,
Tip was deprived of food for twenty-four
hours. At G a. in. Park Commissioners
Clausen , Strauss and Dell , accompanied by
Superintendents Smith and llurncs , ni rived
at the arsenal In Central park. A few min
utes later Drs. Huntlngton , Allen and Spltzka
joined them.
Tip was meanwhile swaying restlessly In
his cage and swinging his enormous trunk
viciously. Tom , the trick eleplnnt , and
Juno , who occupied the adjoining ciee , were
driven out to the open space b ° hml ! the ele-
phint house and chained there so that they
would not be disturbed 01 frightened by the
expected trumpeting of Tip when he would
get his "pill. "
Thirty policemen surrounded the building
to keep the crowds away fiom the doors , and
none but journalists and visitors with per
mits were allowed to enter the building
At 6 JO o'clock everytnliig was in readiness
To avoid possible accident ; nil wrro ex
cluded fiom the elephant house except those
directly concerned In the momentous event.
At exactly G OS14 a. m , Otto Mops who lias
been for years an animal trainer both In
Germany and this countiy , walked up to
the cage and handed Tip a losycolored apple
which had a big dose of cyanldo of potas
sium within Its surface. The big fellow
nibbled It for a moment with his trunk , and
finally put It In his rapacious mouth. But
when ho crunched It between his teeth , ho
evidently felt that there was something
wrong with the taste and spat It out. Mops
then tried him with a canot4 which was
similarly drugged , but Tip refused to taste
It , as he did another apple and carrot which
were passed to him aftervvaids. Keeper
Mops then gave Tip a piece of hi cad con
taining about two ounces of the deadly drug ,
but the big fellow after munching it slowly
a few times , threw that also on the floor.
Tip undoubtedly had his suspicions about
the morsels which were being fed to him ,
but the doctors said he had certainly got
enough of the poison in his system to kill
a dozen horses. Thu diug did not seem
to have veiy much effect upon him until
nearly an hour afterwards , when the violent
motions of his head , body and trunk became
less rapid and his legs Deemed to bo getting
weak. This lasted only a short time , how
ever , and then Tip regained his wonted
v Igor.
It is not definitely decided what shall be
douo now , but the talk is Kt.'li of finishing the
work with poison , probibly this afternoon.
There were evidences aftei IS p m. that
the poison was dcfng Its work. Tip vvat >
breathing very hard , and seemed scarcely
able to move his trunk. There was n belief
In the mind of Dr. Allen that the elephant
might die before night.
Tin tiled at 4 : . 10 this afternoon , nfte r
swallowing sovpial balls of bum. In each
of which had been sonotod six. gialns
of cyanide ot pottnstinn KlKht disxi-otois
went to vvoik Imnudlntelv , and by tomoi-
rovv Tip will be divided Into heveial bee-
tlonH.
