After the feast had been put out of the waj
and the cigars had been lighted ex-President
1. M. Treynor , In the absence of President E ,
II. Odell , addressed a few words of welcome
to the company and then Introduced H. H.
Field In a poetical way. Mr. Field spoke or
the past history of Council Bluffs , going bacl <
to the tlmo when Lowly Cass paid his firs )
visit to the banks of the Big Muddy. He
spoke of the Mormon Invasion , the establish
ment of the "Frontier Guardian , " the flrsl
newspaper In western Iowa ; the first "Gen-
lllo" church , founded by Hev. G. G. Illce ,
who still lives here ; the first theater , the flrsl
streak of hard times , and other Items of In
terest connected with the early history of tht
city.D. .
D. W. Archer followed with a well preparej
paper on "The Council Bluffs of the Present , '
setting forth the advantages of the city as s
place for business operations. Cheap llvlnj
and one of the finest systems of water works
to be found In the west are among the attrac-
tlons that appeal to labor and capital alike
Council Bluffs lies In the center of the larges
fruit growing district of the west. Last yeai
there were 16,065 carloads of fruit shippec
out of Council I ! luff a over the eleven lines o
railway centering here. The adjacent countr :
Is admirably adapted for raising sugar beets
and $100,000 Is annually spent here for sugai
which should be made In Council Bluffs. Thi
Iowa legislature will undoubtedly pass i
sugar bounty law next winter , in which even
the beet-growing Industry will sustain a de
elded boom. The Grand hotel and Its pro
prletor came In for a share of praise , and , In
cldentally , the speaker said a. good word fo
John Baldwin's candidacy for governor , whlcl
seemed to arouse as great enthusiasm In th
democrats present as In the republicans.
Colonel D. B. Dalley was then Introduce
by the toast master and spoke on the fubjec
of "The Future of Council Bluffs. " He ej
horted the people of Council Bluffs to stan
together , patronize each other , and work t (
gether for the upbuilding of the city. H
raised a laugh by his exhortation to csclic

The case of the United States against A. i
Edglngton was given to the Jury at 11 o'cloc
yet'terday ' morning , and at a late hour la
evenlnpi the Jury was still In Its room at tl
ts. government building trying to come to ts
agreement.
In Instructing the Jury Judge Woolson sa
that the main question to be determined wi
whether the statements contained In A. i
Edglngton's deposition were false. If any
them were not true they were false within tl
meaning of the statute. If , however , the d
ok fendant , at the time the statements we
made , did uot know them to bo false , and
to ho honestly believed them true , a verdict
hio favor must bo returned.
Ho made a few remarks relating to tl
ley strictures made by the attorneys for the d
ffs fcnse upon the conduct of E. C. Brown , tl
pension examiner. It was his business , 1
said , to make a thorough Investigation of ai
case uliero the government had reason
believe that fraud was being practiced ,
of was not his duty to notify either of the pa
ted tics of the rusplclons of the government , b
Ion to go ahead In an upright and honorable w
and secure such evidence as he could to assl
the government In determining which of t
parties , If cither , were wrong.

TIIV1MJ TO AKItANOr. A 8C11F.UULI : .
Conference irlth .Motor timclnla Concerning
the ItunnlnR of Umnlia Trains.
A meeting of the committee appointed by
Mayor Cleaver to bring about an agreement
with reference to the running of Omaha
trains on Broadway , was held with the
representatives of the motor company , Mon
day night , Tnoso present were Aldermen
Spctman , Grccnshlolds and Barstow , Messrs.
S , S. Keller , W. W. Loomls , Lucius Wells ,
W. D. Uunyan , J. n. Bell and L. A. Casper
and Superintendent Dlmmock and his assist
ant , Mr. Poole , of the motor company. The
committee , with the exception of Wells and
Loomls , were all In favor of having trains
run , half of them up Broadway and the other
half down Main street ,
Mr. Dlmmock had drawn up a new tlmo
card providing for running the trains as the
east end citizens desire , without putting on
the two trains which were removed when
the present schedule went Into effect. Al
though ho claimed that the distance from
Pearl street to Oak street and from Pearl
street to the south end of Main street woru
exactly the same , he tried to prove , by n
course of reasoning which was not very well
understood by those to whom he was talking ,
that as good connections at Pearl street
could not bo made as now If the trains were
divided.
Messrs. Wells and Loomls were as anxious
to keep the trains on South Main street ,
now that they have them , as the other men
were to have them on Upper Broadway , now
that they have thorn not. Mr. Wells moved
that the committee adjourn until May 14
without taking any action , and Mr. Loomlt
seconded It. The motion was amended , how
ever , to ask the motor company to put on the
two trains that had been taken off and U
restore the old tlmo card as It was before
the change. It was carried , all voting for II
excepting Wells and Loomls. The motion tc
adjourn until May 14 was then carried.
Just what will bo the outcome of the meet
Ing Is a matter of conjecture. The ens
enders have a slight hope , but not vcrj
much faith , that their efforts will be success
ful without a resort to any forcible mcas
urcs , and none but some of the more hot
headed ones Indulge In any threats as t <
what they will do.

KIRK'S
Thousands of Omaha Citizens Now Testing -
ing His New Discovery ,
Already 25 Grateful Persons Kc-
port Favorably Aftcrl Using Ills
1'reparatlo.
Tuesday , at B o'clock p. in. , the free
distribution of Kirk's "Haln Water
Maker" at The lleo'olllco closed , ami
nlthoncu but three days liaov elapsed ,
since the first announcement , appeared
In the dally papers , people are already ,
both by letter and In person , coiwntn-
latliit , ' Mr. Kirk upon the results obtain
ed from uslnj ; his preparation.
Is It any wonder that the public bare
faith In u preparation that Its owner
has Htilllclent confidence In to give out
absolutely free , with the understitndlns
that the results In each case should
be published broadcast. To be sure , the
reputation of the old established house
of .las. S. Kirk & Company Is so well
known , that any preparation bearing
their stamp Is a snlllclcnt guarantee to
the public that Its merits are all that Is
claimed for It.
Last evening a reporter called nt the
MHlard House , and In an Interview
with Kirk's representative , obtained the
following InformatfoJi' ' ( regarding the
new Discovery that Is creating such a
sensation : ' "Yes , .Mr. Kirk Is aware
that there have been , from time to
time , many preparations put upon the
market , claiming to bo what "Haln Wa
ter Maker" absolutely does do , viz : To
soften the hardest of water , making It
soft and velvety , but all have proved
dismal failures. Every Ingredient In
Kirk's "Ualn Water Maker" Is of an
absolutely harmless nature.
"RAIN WATER MAKER"
The Mnny I'urpoirg for Which ItVis \
Dmigncd.
Mr. Kirk and his representatives arc
frequently asked the question , "Is your
rain water maker simply a hard water
softcntr ? " We 'answer 'emphatically ,
"No. " Kirk's new scientific discovery
not only softens Instantly the hardest
water but Is equally valuable In rain or
cistern water , as It renders all water
soft and velvety. Clothes washed In this
preparation are much sweeter and whi
ter and will hold colors from running
In printed goods ; prevents bluing from
cm'dling In water ; prevents llauuels
from shrinking.
Kor the bath or toilet It Is Indispensa
ble. Accelerating the action of soap , giv
ing the skin a healthy glow and helping
to remove any superfluous execretlons
that may adhere to the body.
Kor dishes and general washing pur
poses It Is very essential.
Kirk's "Ualn Water Maker , " Is abso
lutely harmless and must not be con
founded with soap powders , as It con
tains no soap , lye , amonla , borax , llmo
or any deleterious Ingredients , t ind
saves 125 per cent of soap and CO per
cent of labor. Kirk's "Ualn Water Ma
ker , " can bo had of all druggists and
grocers , i2"c for two pound package.
