COUNCIL "BLUFFS , Sept. 1 , 1S94. To .ho Editor of The Bee : In view of the gross mlsstatements currently made as to the cost f producing electric light In this city , 11 : annol bo improper to give accurate data .pan that subject. The report of experts as .0 cst of establishing a plant as good as ho one now being operated , as. fixed by hosu experts , 1s a little more than $58,000 , This Includes every Item , excepting only the and upon which the building Is to stand and estimates the cost of the building to be erected at $5,000. At present figures this estimate ot $5,000 is at least $1,500 , too high nd the building occupied by the prescn company Is probably not worth half o $5,000. The experts assume that every dollar would bo borrowed and Included In the estimate of expenses , the Interest upon the money In ested , the cost of repairs , the proper percentage centago to bo allowed for depreciation In ilaut , the amount to be paid for Insurance nnd all other Items entering into cost of prodnc Ion , save only for clerk hire , with respect t collections. New , as figured by them , the cost of pro duction , Including psymcnt of Interest upon money Invested , would be a few cents over $81 par light. The price being paid per light by the city this year Is J92. The private consumer Is charged $150 per light. The company proposes to charge next year $90 per light and $2 less each year for the eti- sulne four years. That Is to say , according to these figures the city pays , over and above all Expenses and the Interest upon thy Investment , nearly $11 per lamp per annum to the gentlemen who own the stcck of the corporation. Without suggesting that such compensation over and above every expense nnd Interest upon their Investment Is excessive. It Is very clear that the busi ness can hardly be en unprofitable one to them , and It wiuld seem to be quite as clear that If a private corporation can , after payIng - Ing all expenses and Interest upn the In vestment and laying aside an adequate sum annually to meet the cost of depreciation , net a profit of over $1,300 per year on the city business alone , ownership of the light plant by the city would not be a bad thing for the city treasury. But there Is a more serious objection yet to making the proposed contract for five years. The Council Bluffs Gas and Electric Light company wns voted the franchise un der which It has been operated In Oclobr , 1SS9. This the city council did. It was never confirmed by the people at any elec tion ; but on the 12th day of April. 18S8 , a statute went into effect forbidding from that day the grant of any franchiss by any municipality of Iowa unless same was ap proved nt an clcctl-n , general or special , at which the franchise was submitted to the voters for confirmation or rejection , and In litigation arising out of an attempt by a city to grant a franchise to an electric light company without submission to popular vttc. our supreme court hed ! that no franchise had been Issued , and because there.f no con tract for public lighting could be made with such company. Accordingly , In that case , at the suit of a taxpayer , the contract made was adjudged Invalid and the city officials were enjoined from making any payments under It. Tha reason Is clear , without a franchise the electric light company was a trespaster upon the streets and It Is prep-sterous to say that city officials can tax people to pay a wrongdoer for performance of that which he has no right at all to do. If it Is a good thing to.maUe a five-year contract with the present cinpanywhy : not submit that matter to a veto of the people , who will make Investigation and for themselves determine whether the proposi tion should be accepted or rejected ? If this company Is giving satisfaction to the people they will readily confirm Its franchise nt the November election. If Its con duct has been such that the people wculd not be willing to grant It a franchise nt all , what excuse can be offered for giving such n company the entire patronage of this olty for the next five yeara ? Again , It the- city cannot legally make this contract , payment under too contract would bo without authority cf law. Is it not then Diuch wiser for our officials to refer this matter to the people for determination , rather than by ejncutlng this contract making themselvfs personally liable to refund to the city treasury the amounts that may be unlawfully by them paid under It ?

Probably the most cunning of all animals Is the mink , Its propensity for stealing Is marvelous , and the methods of stealing and hiding the proceeds of Its robberies are unique In Ihe history of the lower species. We do not refer here to the depredations of the mink among poultry , for they resort to henneries only when the waters are frozen or a supply of fish Is unobtainable , says the Lewlston Jturnal. Two gentlemen were fishing on one of the rivers of Maine. The fish were quite plenty , and as soon as one was caught It was thrown behind on the grass. After some time one of the gentle men thought he would take a rest and at the same time examine h.s capture. But he could not find a single fish. He charged his friend with having played him a trick. but the friend was as much surprised as he. They now determined to watch their next fish , and their astonishment was unbounded when they saw a mink run from B hole near by , snatch up a fish and carry It off to the hole , where they afterwards found their entire capture cunningly hidden under some dead leaves. In the same manner the mink steals game which sportsmen shoot. On cne occasion a gentleman shot a wild duck , but before the dogs could get to It a mink had stolen It , carried It oft to a hole In the frozen snow , which one mink had prepared while the other was watching for the opportunity to steal the sportsman's game. Notwithstanding th's particular characteristic the mink la 3 bravo as well as ferocious little fellow , and he Is excelled In these qualities only by the ermine. He seems to. have a peculiar aver ts on for the muskra't , and although the muskrat Is generally more ll.an double his size the mink attacks him fearlessly , and always wins the battle , after which he drags his dead enemy to some hiding place , as In the cases _ / the fish and wild duck. They ire found In almost every state of th $ unl n , but most frequently In Maine and In the states bordering the great lakes. Mink skins are sold In great numbers by Maine trapptrs , and are sold for furs under varkus names. A n ii \\it\i \ < ; tu nml I.UM-- * .

IIAIL1COAU i\HMMi.S : roll JULY. St , Piiul , Walinsli ami Illjj Tour Suffered the Most from thn Strike. NEW YORK. Sept. 2. Enough July rail road statements are at hand to obtain a Just dea of the Chicago strike's Influence on net arnlngB. There Is a remarkable diversity in the results. Tlie St. Paul , the Big Four and the Wabash have suffered heavily. Eacl of these three companies shows for July by far the largest net decrease of the year. In each the percentage of operating expenses to gross earnings breaks this year's record , the percentage for the two roads first mentioned running to 10 per cent above the average. On the other hand , the net decrease on the Uurllngton and the Pennsylvania Is the smallest since the exceptional economics o : March , and their operating percentage Is wel below this year's average. Still more re markable , the Louisville , the Chesapeake & Ohln and the Erie make actual net gains over 1893. Part of this singular discrepancy Is doubtless due to the Irregular distribution o World's fair traffic and expenses In July las year. Yet the figures show that the state ments referred to diverge similarly from on' ' another , when compared with those o 1SS2. Allowing for all the difference In ca paclty for working economies , the fact I ; plain that the St. Paul , the Wabash and tin Dig Four suffered out of all proportion ti their fellow corporations from the railway Insurrection. It would be of peculiar Interes to learn the actual results with the Kocl < Island , Hut this company follows the ivors practice Imaginable In Its reports of earnings , and absolutely no trustworthy Information I : obtainable.

( Special to The Bee- . ) The death of Miss Minnie Powell yesterday morning ended a life that had been blighted by the false love of a professional evangelist. About a jear ago a traveling preacher named Foldcn came to this little place and started the work of saving sin ners. Ho was very successful , and soon had the confidence of all. He made his home while hero with Alexander Powell , a prosperous farmer. As n result Minnie Powell , the. farmer's 18-year-old daughter , gave birth to a child at the homo of her sister-in-law about tlirco weeks ago , and commenced legal proceedings against Folden. who had been mr.rrled since accomplishing Miss Powell's ruin. A deputy sheriff went down to Waubunsle , where Folden lives. and levied on the preacher's property , ta be used In providing support for his Illegiti mate child. Much feeling exists In the com munity against Folden. Wubstrr City Cltlrpn Klli : Himself. WEBSTER CITY , la. , Sept. 2.

Singular Munnor In Whlcli Homo Hniu Urmvn mill OtlierH Waned , The growth of posthumous reputation Is one ot the curiosities of history , At first glance there seems no good reason why one of two reputations equally brilliant during the lifetime of their possessors should die any quicker than the other ; but It Is often seen that one man. In every way quite as prominent as his fellow In the same line , Is remembered , while the other Is completely forgotten , A striking Illustration of this fact , says the Globe-Democrat , may perhaps be ob served In the case of Dial tie and Conkllng. The former during big life was by far the more prominent of the two. A man of win ning presence , of great personal attractive ness , who made his way among men as he chose , who was everywhere welcome and by every one well thought of a man who held various high offices In the gift of his govern ment and more than once was a candidate for tlio highest position In the land ; the other & man of marked political abilities , an orator of great power , a scholar of the first rank , yet reserved In his manner , haughty to a fault , and who never attained higher place than the honorable position ot senator from New York , and yet of these two Coukllng seems at present likely to be remembered longer than Blalne. Ills posthumous reputa tion Is waxing , that of Blalne Is waning. The contrary might have been expected. Nine people out of ten , had they been asked the question which would live the longer In history , after both had been laid beneath Ihe god , would have answered , Blalne , as a mat ter of course. But the sarcasm of fate seems disposed to disappoint the poular expectation. That man must be very prominent Indeed who Is talked about six months after ho Is dead , but at present Conkllng Is more a subject of public discourse than his great rhal from Maine , A similar fate has attended many of the great figures of the civil war. While the con flict was actually going on there were many men who seemed to catch the public eye to such an extent as to eclipse most of their contemporaries , and the supposition that some of these reputations at least would pre-eml- KTATUK.AX.

Hut somrliow or other , Iho orltl refuses to entcrttiln the Idea of more than one or two heroes of any great crisis , and. little liy little , the lenders on Iho union tide faded out of tight , until at present but two figure * , there of Lincoln nnd Grunt , renuln with any degree ot pruin- Inqnce.

On the con- 'federate side the popular hero nt the time , and the one whose reputation promised the longest life , v.ns Davis , the president ot the confederacy. There teemed every reason that , In all time , ho should considered the lead * Ing representative of the south , but fete de creed otherwise , nnd the great huro of the struggle on that * ldo Is the military lender , llobert K. Lee. The chnnces speaking from observation and probability seemed to he nil In favor ol tUxIs , but tlio ex-president at the ox-confederncy was prarcely laid away In his grave before his fame began to dwindle , until now "none , so poor as to do him reverence ; " \\hllo I.co , on the other hand , stands forth the noblest figure In southern hlstors1. Further back In our history the principle holds Just ns good as In our own time , or during the days ot the war. Wcbstrr , Ciay ntul Calhcun seemed to have equal chances to win us much ot Immortality as can be con ferred by the fact that their names are In every one's mouth , yet fortune has dealt most unequally with these three. During their lifetime Clay and CalbounLTU quite as prominent. It nol more so. than Webster , yet the reputation of the latter has grown to stupendous proportions , while th.it of Iho other two has pioporttonnlly diminished. Ask any ten men on tlie street about Clny or Calhoun and the chances are tnat a con siderable percentage of the number will not have heard ot either , but Webster's name Is known to everybody , If only from the fact tltnt one or two fragments from hU speeches have been incorporated Into Iho "readers , " and so are familiar to every schoolboj1. Go hack still further nnd a similar Mate of things Is found in the earliest history of our country , for the higher criticism of historical mattcra Is even now dealing unldndly with the memory of Washington nnd exalting the reputations of one or two others , who , In his time , were not considered worthy to un loose the latchct of bin shoes. Tha same thing Is true ot our presidents. The list Is familiar to every man of ordinary Informa tion , yet of the whole number there are bnt three or four who are remembered save us abstractions. They are names and nothing moic. They stand In a crowd and one may readily bo mistaken for another. During their lifetime they scmcd to have equal chances for an Increment of reputation , but In only a very limited number of cases i\as that expectation realized. EMEBSON'S GRAVE. A Oimlnt Monument nml tlio Itcrnrd It It Is twelve years since Italph Waldo Emerson was laid to rest In the cemetery of Sleepy Hollow at Concord , nnd during all that time his grave has been unmarked by any name or inscription which would Indi cate to Grangers that the distinguished Con cord philosopher slept beneath A nameless block of pink and white quartz of no geometric metric shape , only a great bouhler of na ture's own arrangement of crystals , stood near the head of a grave which was pointed out to strangers ns that of Hmerson. There seemed no slgnlficanco In the presence of such n block of mineral , but rather a gaudy Irrelevancy , the showy character of the pyra mid being btr.iMjrely inconsistent with the dark pines which cast their solemn shadows about the great amphitheater of death. Thoughtless strangers chipped relics from the pink crystal and often thcso who were looking with longing Interest for the grave of the philosopher only guessed from the family name cf Kmerson on other graves In the vicinity that this was Indeed his resting place. Out within a few days a name-plate has been affixed to the rose-quartz monument ment and it boars this record. Getting the question of who sleeps there beyond a doubt : RALPH WALDO EMBKSON. Horn In Boston , May 3 , 1803. Died in Concord , April 27 , 1882. "The imstlvo master K-nt hln linml To thu vast soul that u'ur him pliumcd. " Near Emerson's are the graves of Thor- au and Hawthorne , the latter covered with a soft thick carpet of myrtle that is green during tlie lone New England winter. There are always people coming and going In Sleepy Hollow. It Is the Mecca of pilgrims from all parts of the country and from the old world. The place Itself Is one of those symphonies of nature , which only required death the touch of the great master to complete tin" picture.
