NEWS FROM COUNCIL BLUFFS Gommttto ) Dec'dos to Offer an Additional Prize for Competing Bands , * TROUBLE OVER PURCHASING FLAGS Committee Mntpx There U No Truth In the Itcpurt Tlioy'irnt to Chicago to rurchtno thn Itmitlnt ; N to Decorate the City. The committee having In charge the Grand Army encampment has found n llttlo more filthy lucre lying around loose than It supposed It had , and has decided to offer an extra prize for band music In addition to the two which have already been announced. The Una prize will bo $25 In cash , the second $15 In cash and the third n fine flag. The contest between the bands will take place next Tuesdaj afternoon at 2 o'clock at Hay- Una park , and any band outside ot Council Blurts Is eligible to take pnrt. A story has been going the rounds which the committee finds somewhat disagreeable In Its effects. As the report goes , the com mittee , after making the rounds of the citi zens and collecting n good many hundreds of dollars with which to defray the expenses of encampment week , sent off to Chicago for 100 big flags to ha ussd In decorating the streets along the line of march. The dealers In flags might bo Justified In making the row they have been making , but for the fact that the story , according to Chairman Frank Trimble. Is nn unvarnished falsehood. One of the best known merchants In the city offered to furnish the flags to the committee at actual cost , and as that was better than any offer made by any other merchant , It was accepted. .SOCIAL ii.ii'iIMN : O. Commencement Week Aililn C'onaldcntbly to thn Social PlfaMITCH of the \Vc-elc. The past week , considering the dullness that Is apt to fall upon the gay world about the time the thermometer commences to revel among the nineties , has been rather lively than otherwise. Commencement week has come and gone , and with It has taken all but the memories ot a number of very pleasant occasions. Each year a little more Is made of commencement week In Council Bluffs , and the young men and women who receive their longed-for sheepskins are made to feel a little more strongly that It Is worth while , pfter all , to stick by the > schools until the acturt ! .lujnplrg-pfr place Is reached. On Monday afternoon ! huIJIg'1 ' school cadets gave an exhibition drill on First avenue , near the Grand hotel. The cadet corps was Inspected by Captain Aitchlson of the Iowa National guard.

On Thursday evening Miss Grace McKenzie entertained the members of the" graduating class , together with Superintendent II. W. Sawyer , Miss Habermaas , Miss Baldwin and MUs Ross of the corps of Instructors , at her home on Canning street. The large mansion , with Its beautiful grounds , was an Ideal place for an affair of this kind , and the evening was enjoyed to the utmost by the guests. Clilneto lanterns lighted the lawn sufficiently for the needs of the romantically Inclined young people , and the hammocks , which were abundantly provided , were generally kept full. Souvenirs were given each guest , consisting of unique wooden plates , on which to put the signatures of all present. Last Friday evening the Council Bluffs Rowlnc association opened a series of sum mer parties at the boat house at Lake Mdn- awa. About fifty people were present , and every one ot them expresses the abiding conviction that It was the best and most successful party over given by oven the "boat club. " The cool breezes swept In from the lake and made the dancers forgot that It was the middle of June , while the lake and the boating facilities of the club were at hand , waiting for any who preferred passing the evening on the water. A party recently given by a certain Coun cil Bluffs young lady deserves mention. The Invited company consisted of an oven num ber of young ladles , half of whom wore des ignated as gentlemen. Dancing was In dulged In , refreshments were served , and the young ladles spent a very enjoyable evening. Mrs. John M. Plumer entertained about twenty of her lady friends last Thursday afternoon at a Kensington tea at her home on Park avenue. The Literary Dozen , composed of a num ber of young ladles who meet each week to dlvo Into the realms of literature , " are laying plans for a picnic next Tuesday after noon and evening.

Lew Davis , who has been awaiting a trial on the charge of highway robbery , waa re- Iea ed yesterday afternoon on his own recognizance , and the prospects now are H"1111 be the end of the matter. 8. A. llurdlck. the man who claimed to have been robbed , stayed around Council Bluffs for some time after he secured Dayla1 Indictment - ment , and to Insure hU staying until the case was finally disposed of , L. M. Ayles- wortb , who was at that time foreman ot the I grand Jury , rmve him a Job. The Job wa altogether ratlcfactory to IlnrJlck. but ono day he suddenly turned up missing , nntl lias not Ijeen teen from that day to this. The theory of llio authorities Is that some ono made It an object for him to leave , and that ho was quick enough to snap at thu chance of realizing n little something from his CNpcrlencc. Not I'cnccil In * Since the change In the arrangements at Laka Manawa has been made , whereby an admission fee Is charged Into thu grounds of Mr. Reed , the Impicpston has gene abroad that Mr. Reid's grounda compose all the frontag ? on the east side ot the lake , and that pitrons of Like Mannwa , to enjoy the advantages and attractions of this beautiful resort , are compelled to contribute 10 cents to get to the water front. The fact , how ever , Is that Mr. Reed owns or contiols only a very finnll portion of the lake frontage , something like 000 feet , and his enclosure occupies only n block and a half of ground , as laid out und platted In the town of Man awa , Mr. n. Marks Is the owner of nearly a mile of lake fronlago east ot the pavilion , on which the Manhattan Heach Improvement company has erected n dock , In close prox imity to the Reed enclosure , and run a line of steamboats to and from their beach , di rectly opposite. IJoats make ten-minute trips , and the fare , since the Manhattan Beach Improvement company obtained con trol of the boats , has been reduced to 5 cents each way , making the boat ride 10 cents for the round trip. The Manhattan Beach Im provement company's grounds comprise eighty acres of bud and have a lake front age of one-half mile , covered the en tire distance with a natural candy beach , the only natural licacli In the west. There are several beautiful groves on their land , which afford picnickers and campers a delightful place for enjoying themselves. The water toboggan slides , which have proved a source of much amusement In bea- sons past , will bn In operation this feason , and all free of charge. No admission fee charged. The grounds and groves nro free to the public , and patrons of the lake arc Invited to take advantage of these privi leges and have a good time. Louie Renard has secured the dock pa vilion on the beach and fitted up a first- class restaurant In It. Short order meals will be served at all hours at reasonable prleca. Any one can get a good meal for thirty-five cents , and have It well served. The management Intends to run the plare the same ! as heretofore , strictly first-class In every respect , and give the public amuse ment at little cost. In compliance with numerous requests , es pecially from clients having large Interests In Omaha , I have opened an olficc In Omaha at rooms 431 and 432 Paxton block , where I will do a general real estate business , giv ing It my personal attention and paying special attention to the * rental and care ot real estate for nonresidents as weJJ as resi dents of Omaha. I will also bo prepared to negotiate loans on approved securities , and makp a specialty of short time paper. I have associated with me Mr. John Groves , who IH widely and favorably known In (5mnhn. My business In Council Bluffs will bo con tinued at 500 Broadway , under the manage ment of Mr. II. W. Binder , who has been associated with mo for five years , and who Is thoroughly familiar with every detail , aided by my personal suparvlslon. Hence I can confidently state that business sntrubted to my care at Council QluKs will receive as prompt attention as in the past. E. H. SIIEAFC. Grand Plaza telephone 45. Grand Plaza bathing beach.

The enemies of the Kansas & Texas Coal company at Bovler got In their work last nlghf In more extensive shape than usual. The stables and houses belonging to the company Just west of the city were destroyed by Incen diaries at 1 o'clock this morning. A span of mules and a number of hogs perished In the llamcu. Soon after this flro was over one of the company's tenement houses at mine No. 3 was fired. While the guards were at tempting to 'extinguish ' the Dames they were fired on from ambush , as on the night previous. While the shooting was going on another house belonging to the , company was discovered to bo on lire , and as the guards wore busy repelling the attack the house was burned completely down. It Is reported on good authority that In the engagement of night before last ono of the hidden sharpshooters wiis killed. This Is based on a statement by A lad who saw men carrying a body on u stretcher. The city council and the merchants of Hevler wilt hold a meeting to devise means to stop this rolgn or terror at Bovler. KtrlUo Note * .

Of course , upon an other scheme , utilizing the Sunday storage , you could get probably 16 per cent more , but wo will not figure that , because It might In volve considerable outlay that would not be justified. At any rate , It Is possible , under proper construction hero , to get you every conceivable kind of power , from 1,000 cubic feet per second , and I would say that you wont to define at the very start the quantity of water per second that you aio to get , and the capacity that your canal Is to have , to a certain extent , before you go any further , t > o j that you can know Just exactly what you are I getting , and have no disputes as to what was Intended to be given to you. Now thcro Is nothing stated In the proposition whatever beyond the mere statcine'iit that they are to glvo It to you upon reasonable terms. Now , In the estimates , mine are li'ghcr , I believe , than the estimates of the company's engineers , for I have been very careful , very considerate. I have esti mated electrical machinery at J73 per horse power , when contracts have bsen let at between $50 and $ CO. I have estimated everything In connection with thh work at a higher figure. Now we have esti mated that canal with water wheels frdm ? 1,500,000 to $2,500,000. and In the event of utilizing the night flow on a 1,500-power canal , about $2,760,000. That completes canal , power house and everything , except one th'ng. ' It does not furnish you with electric machinery or pneumatic machinery , whichever you may Intend to use. The electric machinery will -cost you from , soy at present prices , $ CO to $80 per horse power additional , and the pneumatic machinery will c jt not very far frojn the same thing , so the question will arise as to the distribution by pneumatic machinery , which will cost a little more than by pipes or wires through the city , but If you require the wires then the difference In cost will not bo very great. Now , as I say , I think that the maximum rate. In fact , a schedule of rot.es to be charged , Is an Important factor In voting a $1,000,0(50 ( proposition In favor of this company. "You do not want a future company , that this company may sell out to In the best of faith , to have that power , that stlcl It up Jut as high as It will bear and crlpple tiie vefy purpose 'for which you are going to vote this $1,000,000. If you glvo $1,000,000 , you want Hie proposition to fl.\ the maximum price 'for ' every thing , from small to large power so that you know what It will cost. You know what steam power will cost and the , prlco of this power ought to bo fixed nt so , much less In the city of Omaha , that you may get It for less from this company than steam power , that under no circumstances' , can they put the price above a certain figure , and that that figure must bo below your steam prices . It Is de sirable to know that , but It Is not stated In this proposition. , , "Less than a year ago wo discussed an other feature of the proposition. One thou sand five hundred cubic feet psr second , I believe , Is a little ovr 1,000,00,0,000 , gallons per day. A billion gallons of , water may be very useful to the/ city of Omaha , should It some day have Its own water power. It U ) possible that It niay bB cheaper to use the Missouri river ; Itjniay bo better , ; , ! am not prepared to go definitely Into that , because It would have tobo analyzed from a great many standpoints before an absolute deter. mlnatlon could be made. It seems to mo that In this proposition there ought to be something fixed whereby the county of Doug. las and the city of Omaha could fix some basis for getting 50,000,000 or 100,000,000 gallons of water. That woul be only 10 per cent of the water that would be going to waste. There ought to bo something said In this proposition with reference to It ; there ought to bo something else said with ret- erenco to this question of power. I "think there ought to bo something In this proposi tion relative to municipal ownership of this canal , because If you are going to give $1,000,000 you might as well give another million or two million , and purchase the property , and then If we saw nt wo could glvo power and water free of charge to manufacturers and others as an inrtiicemeiit to locate In our city , and thereby enlarge the city. Dut If , this city undertakes the business of the ownership of any plant , such as electric lighting , for Instance , and this power can be had for which you are voting this $1,000,000 , then , with the anticipation of developing this power , you want something said In this contract as to what rate you shall pay for the current. You will want a maximum rate or something definite put In there for the current you are going to get for the future lighting of this city. There of this proposition are a great many features that would be debatable , but I only gave this a cursory , hurried reading a few days ago , and I have not looked at the proposi tion since , and these were the thoughts that struck me at first sight. I believe there may be others hero who have observed things which have' escaped my knowledge , and I believe It may bo well enough to call upon them. " KOUNTZE FOR THE COMPANY. By this time Mr. Kountzo had appeared , and there were numerous calls for him. He said : , "I did not come here expecting to be called on to talk with reference to this canal. I > supposed this meeting was called , not for the purpose of hearing from those who are In favor of this canal , but from those who are opposed to It , and I came hero to hear what tl elr opposition vls , believing that per haps I could learn from them some facts I do not now know. I can't talk on Ihls ques tion from an engineering standpoint ) because I know nothing about engineering. What Mr. Hoaewater has said In fcgard to the proposition may bo entirely true , and probably Is ; true. As I under stand , It was not the- Intention to make a proposition to this community to furnish 20- 000 hydraulic horse power and then supply only twelve. I don't know what sized canal Is required to do that , nor do I know very much about the engineering part of It. This matter has been submitted to several cn- gtncern who reported to the company that the schema Is a feasible one , and the com pany , or rather % $ ijuiber ! of citizens , have contributed money with the view to ascer tain the opinion ofji engineers as to the feasibility of the pxajoct , and It was supposed that It was needless ) to make any further expenditures unless a bonus could bo hud from the county' of ttfuglas to warrant doing this work. If the citizens do not want this work , If they do nouwant to contribute this money which ItMrf necessary to glvo for It , well and good. "So far as I am concerned , I believe I am one among the taxpayers of Omaha , and when this $1,00010001 Is assessed to the county of Dougliis I shall probably have to pay a part of It. Now , I am no more In favor of squandering $1,000,000 of the people's money than any other man In Omaha. I am not In the habit of doing things that way " ( fOplauso ) . but I believe If we want to got this power we must first put this company In a position to see what they can do. Without this donation It U Im possible to do anything , and It would be useless to go ahead. I can , as my friend Mr. Hosewater did , alt down and find a lot of opposition to this I can find a great many things In this proposition , and not put any money Into It. I can set forth a great many safeguards In your proposition , and you can take your preposition , after you have knotted It up so nobody can work under It. "Now , my relation In regard to this canal U this : I was Importuned time and time again to consent to connect myself with , the project. I finally consented to do BO. I consented to do co with a determination on my part , when these bonds are voted , to Insist upon a thorough Investigation of this I matter beforea single ) dollar of Douglas i county money shall go Into It , even If the bonds arc voted. Now , as to the quantities of power to bo given In order that 20.000- horse power can bo delivered. The proposi tion Is made with that In view. Mr. Hose- j water says It docs not provide for the trans- ' mlttal ot the power to the city. I think Mr. Iloscwator ban not read that proposition , I think the proposition says that the power , after the completion of the canal , shall be de livered to Omaha for electricity and for other purposes , and shall be delivered hero In such quantities as am required for use. I don't think that the men who are sub scribing money for this lock are going to have any profitable Investment , and I don't put my money Into It with the expectation of doing 50. Every man In the city nf of Omaha la perfectly free to como In and take as many shares of stock as he wishes and I will welcome him Into the company. " John D. llawo secured recognition by the chair and said : "Mr , Kountrc stands very high In this community , both as a banker and a citizen , but 1 am one of those who expect him , and It Is duo to this commun ity when such a proposition In asked , to tie- fine his position , for him to define the posi tion which ho Is wilting to stand li : and occupy permanently before this community. Ills nnnio In In this proposition bocausc It will give great power before the people , 1 Judge , at the time of election. 1 want to know whether after election ho proposes to stand by It with his capital , his thought , his brain and his financial Hklll. Mr. Kountze , do you propose to stand by this canal with your capital and your skill If the proposition Is voted ? " UK DEFINES HIMSELF. Mr. Kouutzo said : "I will define myself as to that with the greatest of pleasure. I shall take n certain amount of stock. At present I have subscribed $10,000 , but I will not stand behind this proposition and guarantee It. This community has got to stand behind this proposition. It Is gotten up for the future , to bring In enterprises , If It Is found to bo feasible. It Is a proposi tion that IH Intended to glvo labor to the laboring man and bring Industries here. I will btiuul behind tills proposition only to the extent that I am going to subscribe stock , and not any further. " Mr. Howe We might as well go cautiously In this matter. I can't say that I like this Idea altogether of raising the question of giving employment to labor , because It has the false ring of spurious coin. Too often they want to give labor , labor to the poor laboring man when the real purpose Is to feather their own nests. ( Applause. ) I think I have some right to speak to the laboring classes In this town , and I believe I have never lied to them , and I believe I have no Interest In this but as a good , loyal citizen , and I hope It may be disclosed to me to do my duty and my whole duty. I know that more than a million will be gathered to gether , yea , two millions , because It will take two millions within the next twenty years to redeem these bonds. I know that It will land upon the small home owners If It Is passed. Will we give It , or will wo give something ? Let's know what we are about. I am awfully tired of giving labor to the laboring man when it Is done to build up the rich. This Is a country ot classes the rich man on the one hand , and the laboring man on the other. Too often they raise the cry ot giving labor to the la boring men so as to undo them to mnke the rich richer and the poor poorer. Now I hold In my hand hero the articles of Incorporation of this company. I have been to the county clerk's olllce and got It. Who signed this paper ? H. Koyntze , a good man. II. T. Clarke. ( Laughter. ) A Voice" A good man. ( Applause. ) Mr. Howe continued : "H. T. Cl-irkc , a lover of the people. George L. Miller , who owns Seymour park , on which ono end of this canal rests. If I were George L.-Miller I would be for this canal. S. L. Wiley " A Voice A good man. Mr. Howe A gentleman and a scholar. I love to pay taxes for him. That Is a privi lege that Is not always permitted to the people. ( Laughter. ) Now , gentlemen , as City Engineer Uosewater has said here , nothing In this proposition Is definite. There Is noth ing to show that you are going to get cheaper power , and after the canal shall have been built a mortgage will be placed upon 't ' , and probably foreclosed , and another company will own It , and erect here a mon opoly such as you have never known here. Now , I am not In favor ot voting any bonds , and I think that a half or a third of this amount Is as , much as ought to be asked for such an enterprise. LABORING MAN SPEAKS. J. A. Beverley said he was a laboring man and he wanted to register his support for the canal. He owned , a home and there was a mortgage on It. It there was no canal somebody else would own the home , and It was a question of the canal or noth ing. Councilman Hoscall thought the question to be decided was whether or not the people ple of Omaha were In favor of aiding In the enterprise. It was a mistake to think that Messrs. Kountze , Clarke and a few others were the ones , to be benefited , as stock waste to be subscribed and the stockholders , who would number a great many , would be the ones who would control It. He favored municipal ownership , but that was not possible now. He evinced the ut most confidence In the ability and willing ness of Mr. Kountze to "put up the stuff. " The First warder paid his compliments to Mr. Howe , whom he declared to be a good equity lawyer and Inequitable as well , and recalled the union depot Injunction. He de clared that Omaha did not want a big hotel after all her people were dead , or the canal after all had scattered , but does want It now. He did not know that he would sup port the proposition In Its present form If he were one of the county commissioners , but thought any needed changes could be made. The following telegram to Chairman Sten- berg was read : "FREMONT , Neb. , June 16 , 8:28 : a. m. Seventy jobbers and business men returning from three days talk with Nebraska mer chants unanimously endorse the Omaha canal. ' H was signed by W. A. L. Gibbon , Max Meyer , A. P. Tukey , G. H. Payne , H. T. Cady , A. J. Vlcrllng , Dan Farrell and slxty-flvo others. G. M. Hitchcock began to speak , but was Interrupted by the entrance of the jobbers , who had Just arrived In the city. Their entrance was greeted with prolonged cheer ing , and It was some time before Mr. Hitch cock was able to continue his story about the sinking ship and the sending out of llfo lines , that seemed to strike him as particu larly expressive of the condition of Omaha at the present time. Ho was of the opinion that Omaha was In a critical situation , and that the Immediate building of the canal was about the only thing that would enable her to hold together much longer. WORD OF WARNING. Ho was followed by W. J. Poppleton , who said that he had lived here as long as It was possible for any ono of his years to live bore , and It made him tired to hear men talking about sinking ships and grasping life lines and all that kind of rot when dls- cuislng the condition of Omaha. Ho said this city was not on Its last legs , as the reports from the financial centers con clusively showed , and there was absolutely no excuse for the hysterical measure : ) that some people seemed so prone to adopt. The proper thing to do was to discuss the propo sition coldly and dispassionately , and BOO that It wa ) put In such shape that It could bo regarded as a business proposition. If submitted In Its present form , it was quite certain that It would not carry , especially as the Central Labor union , the representa tive body of labor , had so wisely and for such rcaton declared against It. He recited a llttlo of the city's history with franchlsed corporations , and said that no more ot them were wanted. The voting of bonds was getting to be an old story , for the city had voted them to the amount of $1,700,000 , and had received nothing for them. Parties got them and .hen sold out the city. Ono objection to this proposition was the total lack of guarantees. It was trim that former bonds with guarantees had amounted to nothing , and It was possibly supposed that by reversing the plan and having no guarantees these bonds might give some results , but that was specious rea soning. It wan apparent that the city made a mistake when It contracted to pay the Thomson-Houston company $175 a year for llKhti , when other cities were getting them for $ GO. The time to Investigate was be fore the leap was taken , and not after an other franchlsed corporation was added to the lint that the city hud never been able to tie down. They had charged the people three priced for everything furnished , and had manipu lated public servants In eplto of all that C5Uld be done to prevent It. The proper thins for a matter of this kind was municipal owner- fillip , which wan sweeping over the country THIS WjiliK'S BUDGHT FULL OF HHLl'FUL FACTS FOR I HE SICK Umnlm I'roplc , Wi-ll Kmmti iiml Highly Itmpcctcd , Sprnk I'rom Their i'ornomil liMlKr A Trxiu Hank Cunhlcr on thn .Merit * or lliu .Mull Tro.ilturnt. /Mt C'o/H/Mlif tinil tilirimnl < ' ! < ! mil tlirlf * iiitr > n nf in-tirtlrliiti i/in/Miir / < M d iiiuiiet/-iiiiilliifi V/ICIMC , Inil irttlt tlimr ; > v ( ) / ' rillMll//ICI ( < rl > MN Hf IHKltl IIICIIIII III Illlllllll Ilieniinr lr ihin nl Hull I'irli juojilr lulu fucf/o miiiioo/'iniiiirti/Vir. llitf ? ji/if/ < fr ; < m K.VOH Hint Iliry nill rill c ill'riMi * Hull rtrlkrut nlllc- li nth * ofiiitr i > r < > i > lr , inul tinu.note fifuilirr - ( / < / ! / Hit * I'ufl , nml I rr ii 11 n ( l jinNriiN nil it f/MiniJ unitetli < a run nff < n'il to c.'m !

Epjndence. . After \ultlng for u question and meeting with popular favor. The legis lature would meet FOOD , and needed legisla tion could then be secured. A special elec tion was not the occasion to have a propo sition like this voted on , as It never brought out a full vote or a fair experebslon of the people. The organized franchlsed corpora tions wore always out In force on such oc casions to override the unorganized tax payers. The city's bonded Indebtedness amounted to $7,000,000 , and It was pressing harder than ever. This company would not put In over $250,000 of Its own money , but would Issue bonds for the necessary amount , and have this vast enterprise with but llttlo of Its own money Invested , the city putting it in Its hands to operate It at Immense profit. The speaker said ho did not favor the building of the canal at all , as he did not bellovo It a sound project , but was cer tain that If the scheme was endorsed It should not bo until rigid safeguards were placed about the proposition. Unless this was done , the people would refuse to vote further bonds for private benefits. Mr. Kountze said he did not want to be misunderstood In the matter. Ho thought the proposition ought to be thoroughly Inves tigated , and depreciated the evident disposi tion on the part ot some of the warm sup porters of the enterprise not to allow the opposition to be heard. He told them that they should all look fairly and dispassion ately on the proposition. He was not pre pared to say that all hopes would bo real ized , but If they could be Douglas county could well afford to pay a million dollars. A. R. Dufrene said he had subscribed $2,000 to the enterprise , not because of his expec tation that It would pay him as an Invest ment , but because It would help Omaha. He would agree to give his stock to the county In case the bonds were voted and the canal C 'c. Turner arose and Inquired of Mr. Dufrene whether or not It was true that ho was the owner of Mascotto addition , two miles from Dr. Miller's place , to which the Dufrene hotly replied ! "That's none of your business. " And the fun went on. JUDGE AMBROSE'S SUGGESTION. Judge Ambrose wanted a committee of fifteen appointed to confer with the commis sioners , and Insisted that City Engineer Robowater should bo at the head of the committee , which should suggest the changes that ought to bo made In the agreement with the company. Ho favored the project , and reviewed the history of the city In the matter of improvements , which had pro gressed In spite of the kickers. Ho bald that Charley Squires had put down asphalt pav ing that cracked , and had probably cheated the city more or less. Hugh Murphy had been paid a lot of money for block paving , while the city had but little to show for It , yet this progression had made a city , with out any help from the economic objectors. While It was qultt probable that thuro was a good deal of the dramatic and spectacular In the entrance of the Jobbers In a body on the heels of the telegram , It was a well played move , and ho attributed It to the fertile brain of Mr. Hicks , who was an ardent advocate ot the canal. So far aa the objection that the end of the canal was four miles out of the city , It mode no dif ference If the power did not como In. It would simply extend the city limits four miles further , and there would bo a row of factories all adding to the wealth and payIng - Ing taxes In the city. W. A. L. Gibbon spoke of the three days trip from which ho had Just returned , and said the people In all the towns visited were anxious to know about the canal. Ho be- Icvcd that with proper safeguards the prop osition would carry. J. D , Crelghton said that end proposition hud been defeated because It was not well digested before being biihmlttcd to the voters. He favored the present proposition n a measure , and would fully agree to It If ertaln question could bo answered to Ills satisfaction. He asked Engineer Roscwatcr a number of questions relative to construc- lon matters , and then Inquired whether the atter would advlio giving $1,000,000 for and ake chances. Mr , Rosewater Enid he would stake his reputation and what property ho tad that a llow of 1,600 or oven 3,000 cublo eet per second could bo secured , but he should Insist on safeguarda being thrown around the proposition , us the practicability of the EChemo was not alone nulllclent. Mr. Crelghton Insisted that two year8 was long enough * o complete the canal , Instead of four years , as outlined In the 'proposition. llo tcllcved that the bonds could bo voted on heir merits , but not on a hip , hip , hurrah. le wanted It provided that ten miles nhould > e completed before the payment of bonds , nstead of.at . tbo end ot every mile.

II. H. Iloblson opposed niich action , as the proposition was not satisfactory In Its pres ent xhapo , and should bo changed buforo coming up for endorsement. Ono proposi tion had failed to get thq stamp of popular cndorucmeut because of , lts Indellnltcness , and that-rock should be avoided this time. Mr. Poppleton was opposed to allowing the stockholders to vote on their own case , and * ' In the vranglo that ensued the debate was renewed. Thomas Swift said the bonds would bo voted If they were wufp , ami If not they wouldn't. The city hail voted bonds for nearly forty years , and tto often for roads anil things that never came. The Nebraska Central did not come. , but the bonds did not cost the city anything , and that was simply became of a safeguard that hud been Im posed by Mr. Ho wo. The canal pushers were getting restless as It was after 11 o'clock , and began to yell for the previous question. "All right , " said Mr. Swift , "but that kind of proceedings won't carry bends , " The vrto was called for , and the resolution favoring the bonds , provit | | > d they were suit ably restricted and guarded , carried without dliscnt.
