TO n ( lt If I'OIl TIII5 PATH. t'oiiunlllro of tlic Ili-tnll The committee appointed at the meeting of the Council Bluffs Retailers' associa tion on Wednesday evening IcU no time In getting to work In the In terests of the Twin-City blcvcls path , * hch ! It was directed to work for. W.ihln twelve hours after Its appol.riiont , It held a meeting for the purpose of organiz ing and discussing the method of procedure. The committee consists of H. A , Cole. H. N. Kill * . S. S. Keller , C. S. livers nnd Thomas Mctcalf. It was a singularly well selected committee of active young business men , cacti of whom has a degree of fond ness for the steel steed , and the breadth of vlowsi nccc sary for the full realization of the Immense advantage to Council Uluffs that will arise from such a track. At the meeting josterday morning It was decided to call a monster mns" meeting of the wheelmen of Omaha nnd Council Dluffs nt the Grand hotel Tue'day evening , nnd 1'nvo the subject discussed In nil of Its bear- Ings. In nccordance with tlili plan letters of invitation arc being prepared to be font to all Omaha wheelmen and wheclwomen , urg ing them to come bore and help Increase the enthusiasm nnd take an active part In the meeting and the enterprise. The comfort of the crowd will be looked after by Mr Clark of the Grand hotel. H Is believed Hint several bundled wheelmen will respond nnd In abDUt two hours all of the obstacles that seem to be In the way of the path will be swc t nslde. The committee also decided to wait tipcn the council and ascertain what action will be necessary In permanently securing the right of way on Hrondwny for the proposed course. It wns also decided to secure some authentic Information concerning the utlllt > and practicability of n cinder tinck. Foi this puiposo letters have been written to people In eastern cities , where such tracks have been built for bicycles and other ve hicles. It Is expected that there will be some answers from these lette's received by the time the Grand hotel meeting oc curs. curs.The The question as to the width of the track and thu method of putting It down will be left for future solution. It Is scaicely piob- able , however , that the committee or the business men anJ wheelmen who are backIng - Ing the scheme will ask to have the track laid In the center of the street , as has been suggested. This suggestion has met with considerable opposition from the public and members of the city council. A track laid along the side of the street would not be objectionable and would cost considerably less. The question of whether the city coun cil would have the authority to het aside a poitlon of n public street for the exclusive use of one class of vehicles has received a good deal of attention. Some of tiie eoun- climen had doubts about the legality of such an ordinance , which would necsssarlly call for another ordinance making it a misdemeanor meaner to use It for any other vehicles than bicycles. The question lias nlicady been settled , howevsr , by the discovery that the supreme courts of New Ydrk and Massa chusetts have sustained the town author ities In making such a disposal of a poitlon of public streets. , The same power that gives cities the light to narrow or widen streets or cider Imptovemcnts upon them gives them the right to set aside parts of streets or whole streets for boulevard purposes. The blcyclfl path , seventeen feet wide , would not Interfere with the heaviest traffic Broadway has ever known In the past , or Is likely to know for many jeais to come. The street is eighty fet wide between the curbs , and a reduction of the width would be one means of salvation for the abutting propeity , which must soon be taxed to pay for repaying. W. J. Davenport of the Burlington rallwnv is an enthusiastic advocate of the enter prise , and to the committee yesterday ho made some flattering promises. He Is w Ill- Ing to obligate Ills road to run an excursion every Saturday during the season , making a round trip rate of about $1 for all distances up to 75 or 100 miles , and remove alt trouble about carrying wheels. A great deal Is expected from the meet ing next Tuesday night. AVOIIKIMiMEVS CMfll IlllOKH 1 P. C IS - > | ( CH llt'xtroy Henry DcT.onn'H I'oinilnr rinirit > Ortrniil/iitloii. The WorkliiBmen's Fi'endly ' club , a crea tion of the chai liable heart and the fertile brain of rtev. Henry DcLong , the Good Samaritan of Council Bluffs , has gone glim mering. It started out with the brightest prospects and promised to be of great benefit to the work ngmen of the city , those with jobs ns well as these without work. It was started as "n rellglo-polltlcal organ'zatlon where the discussion of religion and politics was forbidden , " and it sailed along veiy smoothly for several weeks. Worklngmen met en terms of equality nnd took a friendly Intelest In each other. The literary features of the meetings st'mu'ated their minds and the social Influences vv-a far bstt r than those usually enjoyed by many cf the members of the club. J'eonlo who wanted to employ labor were celling Into the habit cJ going there , where they were ctrtaln to find some able-bodied mmi anxious to get honest emplojmpnt. In tlioil , the club was rapidly progressing along moJ- orn lines that gave satisfactory Indications t * " t It would soon be counted among the prominent economic and Intelligent Institu tions of the city. But It Is no more. It wns disbanded at the last incetln < r and the ball closed , very much to the regret of its founder and biipnortere. It fell a prey to the Coxeyltcs. During the last few nicotines the- chronic pol t'cal ' ns\- \ tntors came in'o too much prominence nnd by reason cf sunerlor numbers ran things to suit themselves. Political discussions were- Indulged In and hitter partisan tpeeciies made In spite of the picsldent and the orlc nal members. The last straw v\as the Invitation of "General" Kelsey , tne Omnhn Coxey'te , to come over and inaKo one of his radical harangues on the general cvllu of the times. He came in defiance of t0 ! wishes of the real club mon and made his speech on free silver nnd free everjthln ; . It was not as anarchistic as was feared , but the founders of the club concluded that If It was to be captured at will by those who icftised or failed to comprehend the motives and objects of the organization It was time to cloee the hall. At the conclus'on of the meeting DeLong tendered his resignation as pre.sldent and an nounced that from Monday n'ght the hall would bo cicred for all other purposes thin his lilrln' industrial school , The CoxoylH't- have made arrangements to meet occasionally in the court homo , It Is cenerally believed that the club would have escaped molestation had it not been for the political agitation consequent upon the near approach of 'lie city elect.'on.

Feb. 20 ( Special ) The rc- Mibmlsslcn rcsolullon Is likely to be brought tip for consideration sooner than cither Its friends or enemies desire. A rule of the house requires thai every bill or resolution should be reported back from the committee within ten dn > s , unless by special order the t'me Is extended. When the order "Reports of committees" was reached t'day , Speaker Bjers stated that a largo number of repoits were now due under this rule , nnd called upon the committee on constitutional nmend- mcnts for n report. Chalrmin Brighton stated that the committee wns not ready , but the resolutions that had been referred to It would be considered at Its next meeting. Speaker Dyers made the positive statement thnt further time wculd not be granted unless by n vote of the liourc. The house nnd bcnate commute ? on mili tary are at loggerheads over the proposition to remove the melallions fioni the soldleis' monument. A majority of the senat" com mittee Is In favor of the removal of about a dozen nnd the addition of some thirty morp , to be selected from tlic icglments tint umoptescnted , The- proposed rcmoil of the medallions of brevet captains nnd col- ot.cls who saw no actual service Is creating much dissatisfaction among the friends of the o parties , some of whom hold hlghpo- slttons in party and Mntp and In civic ° o- clcttcs. It Is conlendcl that such action will be- not only a icfiectlon on the com mission , but an act of very great dls- ccurleJj toward thc e honorable soldiers , who enlisted with the best of Intention * , al though they did not see actual service al the front or partlclpite In any general en gagement. The house committeeadlipics to its determination to order tlio removal of all the mc.lalllons or none. It Is opposed 10 making Invidious distinctions or interfciing In tlic details of the work. The house committee on ways nnd mean ? , nfter full conslderntlon , has refused to en dorse nny of the several bills nrovld nn for the taxation of promlssoiy notes nnd other negotlnblu paper , and requiring the " .lamp of tha ns cssor or the ntsment of nil delin quent ( axe ? ' In older to render evidences of Indebtedness collectable at law. A majortly of the committee argued that such legislation would be too radical a departure from cb- tabllshed forms and would antagonize a large elasb of ciedl'ors , both at hcme an 1 out side the state , who would withdraw tho'r advances and transfer their loanable funds to otlipr stn'es nnd localjtlcs wheie i "trlct- Ivo legUlatlon did not hamper theii huslncbs. The senate committee having the same mat ter In charee has arrived at a slm lar con clusion WILL PENSION EVERYBODY. Amonc the ' 'ills Introduced today was onp bv Mr. Klemme of Wlnneshlek , which pro vides for the pensioning hv the state cf every ex-union soldier v ho is not now on tlie pension rolls of the general government or who has no appllciton pending. Mr. Dow ell Introduced a bill giantlng to cities of the first cl.iss and IncorporateJ towns the power to suppress bouses of III fame and "opium Joints. " A majority of the heuso committee on banks and banking repotted advorpcly on the Martin bill providing for the examination and stiperviykm of pi hate b.nikt > by the auditor of stale. It was shown that there are nearly 1.000 of these Institution ? In the state , many of. them meiely local in their nature , nnd all of them would be seriously hampeied or possibly driven oUt of business by such legislation. II was even hinted that such Institution ! ) were safer for depositors than either state or national banks. Mr. Potter vigorously combatted this idea in committee and filed a miiurlty report In favor of the Mai tin bill. The city of Burlington will secure nn ap propriation of $10,000 to aid In the celebra tion cf the mini-centennial , unless the sen ate should fall to agree to the house bill to this effect , which was passed today. The bill also carries with It an appioprlatlon of $103,000 , one-thiid to bp used annually , for the erection of a memorial and art hall , to be located by the commission , on grounds ad jacent to the state capltol building. The friends of these two measures joined forces , and by yome skillful log rolling succeeded In getting the measure passed without icfer- euce to tlio committee on appropriations , n most unusual proceeding. Mr. Van Houten arcs : at the last moment to make a motion to icfer , but was declared out of order , and sat down with the remark that 'he sup posed ho at least had the right to vote no. " Tlic bill secured seventy-six voles. A bill by Evans passed the house pioviding thai cities of the second class nnd Incor porated lowns may construct sewers or tile drains along the etreet nnd absess the cello lo abutting propeity as a special tax. Tlio GUI ley bill , granting the exclusive use by consent of township trustees of six feet on onp side of Hie highway to tiic hlcvclc riders , was discussed al length. Martin of Aclalr and McDonald of Gutlnlo opposed the bill. Both thotighl no exclusive rigid could be granled without materially Inleifpi Ing with travel. Mr. Early moved an amend ment , merely giving I ho bicyclerideis "the light of way. " Mayno offered nn amendment aiitlioil/lng bicycle- riders to "fence in their tiaek. " Numerous amendments weie pro posed nnd declared out of order , nnd the bill on final passapo was lost ; jeas , 44 ; nays , 47. CIGARETTE BILL UNFINISHED. The substitute- the Phelps antl-clgaictte bill came up Iti tlio house , anil various amendment * were piopot-cd , Mr. Gurley moved that tlio tax of ? 1,000 provlled for the ictall dealer should apply to the whole saler as well , which was debated at length , and on roll call was lost ; > cis , 29 ; navs , ( i3 , and the house adjomncd , with tli ? hill still pending as unfinlshel business.
