The case of the Rock Island Railroad com
pany against the City ot Council Bluffs Is
on trial In the district court. An effort
Is being made by the company to prevent
the opinlr.g of South Seventh street over
Its right of way. Many Interesting points
ore Involved , and the question at Issue has
been a source of considerable worry to the
city council and the plaintiff for many jears.
A a far back ai 1SS7 an effort was made b >
the city to have this street brought to grade ,
and the coutract for the work was let to
R. C Bcrger. An Injunction proceeding was
brought by the railway company , and after
hanging , lire lu the courts was finally
stricken from the docket.
Many of the residents In the southern
part of the city are Interested lu having
the street made a public highway over the
right of way of the company. Grading and
viaduct schemes have becu proposed at
various times. The council In December ,
IS9I , passed an ordinance practically vacat
ing all the clt > 's rights lu the street , and
when a mighty bowl went up from the res
idents In that portion of the city It made
uu attempt to reconsider Its action. This
was In the January following when the pres
ent action was brought by the Rock Island
to restrain the city from In any way at
tempting to establish a highway over their
tracks at Seventh street
POSITION OF THE COMPANY.
The position taken by the Rock Island
U based on the original grant ot right ot
way to the- old Mississippi & Missouri River
Railroad company that was started here In
the COS In this connection an InterestIng -
Ing piece of evidence was dug up lately In
thei shape of an old map made in 1S57. For
jours efforts have * been made to locate this
map , which Is the original plat of Riddle's
subdivision to thi > city , dedicated by John
T. Baldwin and wife- July 5 , 1S57. The
drawing was madeby Thomas Tostevln , the
present city engineer , nearly forty jears
ago. N P. Dodgi- appears as the notary
public on the acknowledgment and D L.
Njo was the county judge , who approved
the document before It was recorded. The
copy of the map filed with the recorder was
either stolen or de.strovcd eome years ago ,
and a long search for the original finally
resulted In finding It among the musty piles
of old papers In L. P Judson's garret. On
this map the right of way of the Missis
sippi & Missouri River railroad Is shown
and the crossing on Seventh street does not
provide for any street , the lines of the rail
road being clearly continued across the
highway. This will be one of the main
points urged by the Rock Island company ,
as It succeeded to the old Mississippi &
Missouri in 1SGS.
The case will be argued today by the at-
tornevs , among whom Is John T. Baldwin ,
a nephew- the original grantor of the Rock
Island right of way In 1S37.
In the case of the Statei Savings bank
against A W Askwlth a motion to trans
fer the Issues arising over a counter-claim
to the law docket was overruled. A de
fault was entered against several of the
defendants.
In the suit of J. L. Archer against Paul
O. Schneider for rent on a store on Broad
way , a demurrer on the part of the defend
ant was submitted.

Everett , executor. W D. Harding. C. S. Lcf-

others on a note for (220.15 secured by a

Henry Schaffer of Omaha realized that he
had made a serious mistake In securing the
arrest of Robert Budatz , a Council Bluffs
butcher , on the charge of cheating by false
pretenses , and when the ease was called foe
trial In Justice YIen's court jester Jay after
noon ho filed a motion for dismissal. Bu-
dats was on hand ready for trial with an
array of witnesses
Budatz was arrested on Tuesday upon a
complaint filed by Schaffer charging him
with fraud In connection with a mortgage
on a butcher shop on East Broadway Bu
datz gave Scbaffcr a mortgage on the shop
to secure $900 Indebtedness , which had
arisen through some real estate deals In
Colorado. The butcher shop was located In
a brick building belonging to Benedick
Haag and the mortgage was meant to cover
only the contents of the building. Judge
Beneke of Omaln 3rew up the mortgage and
Inadvertently made It Include the building.
The mistake was not discovered until after
It was filed and became a cloud upon Ilaag's
title to the property. Haag called the at
tention of Schaffer and Budatz to It and
both were surprised , and Schaffer promised
to release at once. This waa not done , and
after a time the matter was apparently for
gotten. The arrest of Budatz brought the
original transaction to the surface with a
number of witnesses to prove It , and the
casa was dropped. The costs were azsetuea
to the plaintiff.

vcneJ jeskrday morning the joung man

ho hired a lawjer to get him out of the

NEW YORK Nov. 19 The fifth , taut , ana
In some respects most Interesting session
of the Council of Jewish Women , was held
tolay vvlth the president , Mrs. Hannah O.
Solomon of Chicago , In the chair. The work
Included the election of national officer *
for the next three jears. For the past year
a great deal of rivalry has cropped up hc-
tuccn the Chicago section , which now domin
ates the council , and the New- York section ,
the members of which felt that they were
not sufficiently represented on the national
board.
When the nominating committee reported
In fa\or of Mrs. Solomon of Chicago for
president Mrs. Dcsola , the Canadian dele
gate , Interposed an objection. She said
"Much as we may regret , much as I per
sonally regret , 1 cannot but think that our
lojally to the law makes It Impossible for
us tootc for any woman to be president
of this council who does not consecrate
the seventh day as the Sabbath. The ques
tion Is loyalty to God or lojalty to thu
woman named as president. " She mo\cd
the substitution ot the name of Mrs. A. 11.
Low Is of New York.
Mrs Solomon , evincing considerable emo
tion , said that Mrs. Ucsola's judgment of
her was too sv.eoplug "I would like to tell
Mrs Desola , " said she , "that I consecrate
every day In the week. "
Mrs. Lewis asked that her name be with
drawn , and declared that It had been used
without her knowledge or consent. She paid
a -very high tribute to Mrs. Solomon , who
was then re-elected by acclamation
The officers elected were as follows Presi
dent , Mrs Hannah G Solomon. Chicago
cage ; first vice president , Mrs Sophia
Hccr , New York ; second \lce preal
dent. Mrs E. Mandcl , Chicago ; correspond
ing secretary , Ml&s-SadIo American. Chicago ,
recording secretary. Miss Gertrude Berg.
Philadelphia ; treasurer , Miss Carrie M
Wolf. Chlcaco
The appointment of a national bead of
directors was left to the president.
At the forenoon session a delegate offered
a rceolutton sympathizing with the Ar-
menlacs who suffer from religious persecu
tion This provoked a great deal of dis
cussion. Mrs Frederick Nathan said that
there was a great difference of opinion ante
to whether the Armenians were persecuted
or not. "A great many people arc of the
opinion. " said she "that the Armenians
ha\e brought all the trouble on themselves
through political Intrigues , and I do not
think It Is our province to decide who Is to
blame. " After some more discussion the
resolution was tabled.
A resolution was Introduced expressing
the gratitude of tho. Jewish women In
America at the Improved condition of their
co-religlonlsts In Russia.
For the n"xt convention of Ihe council
Invitations have been received from Den
\cr and Memphis. The sentiment of the
delegates anpears to favor Denver.
A resolution was Introduced ordering the
members of the council to do all In their
power to prevent the desecration of the Jew
ish Sabbath and to sec that It was observed
In all Its pristine purity In Jewish house
holds Speaking In favor of the resolution
Mrs Rebecca Kohut of this city said"Let
the breadwinner who wants to work on the
Sabbath do so ; but let all pf us who have
no reason to worl * observe the Sabbath and
refrain from doing those things which deus
us no good and which win .us no favor from
our Christian sisters. "
A proposition to make the American Jew
ess the official organ of the council was
referred to e committee. After Rabbi H.
Pcrlera Mandez had delivered a benediction
the convention adjourned sine die.
The reception at Sherry's was a brilliant
function The large assembly room was
crowded when Mr Kohut welcomed the
delegates In a felicitous speech. After sev
eral musical numbers an address was de
livered by Joseph Jacobs of London , who
touched upon the subject of Jewish Ideals
The closing address by Mrs. Solomon was
couched In feeling language , and after It

There seems to be a great deal of discus
sion as to the effect ot the vote on the pro
hibitory amendment to the constitution ,
which has Just carried A great many advance -
vance the theory that the repeal of the con
stitutional provision repeals the law which
was passed to enforce Its provisions It
Is not likely that any court would give It
any such construction , as there Is nothing
In the constitution which could be con
strued Ito preventing the legislature passIng -
Ing a prohibitory law without any constitu
tional provision on the question , and there
Is no reason why the present law should
not have the same force and effect that It
ever had. Unless the coming legislature-
desires to pass other legislation regulating
the sale of liquor there is no reason why
the present statute should not remain.
Neither does the repeal of constitutional
prohibition prevent the passage of even
more stringent prohibitory statutes than the
one now ois the books. The next legisla
ture may sec fit to leave the matter Just
where It In and make no change whatever
In the law. '

The concert was generally cnjovable vUth-
out bolng In anv riwpcct an epoch-making
event Perhaps too mu.-h was expected of
Mr. Moore , and too little allowance made
for the difficulties under which ho has
labored His chorus Is ver > well balanced
as to parts , and. exhibiting an unusual
proportion of unfamiliar faces , together
with many ot the veterans of former reasons

oughly good Piobably If It could have dis
pensed with Instrumental accompaniment
throughout. It would hav o done ttoelt entire
Justice , for It was fairly eatlsfactor ) like
wise In fortissimo passages v herv It drowned
the orchestra out.
The orchestra was a fochle support to
the vocalists , t poglllv'a stumbling-block

with proper feeling and good effect bv the

many had looked forward as to the mcst
cnjojable feature of the program , was well-

constituted , this Is not an orchestra , but
an unruly band of Individuals and the
Crelghton Instrumentalists who form the
body of It , are doing better work In the
theater everj night In the week.

to other meritorious performers to say that
Mrs. Cahn cmphatlcall.v carried oft the

Omaha Musical society In particular , and
his fine voice was heard during the evenIng -

Mr. Moore liss the material at his hand
for a powerful and effective organization In
furtherance of thc > cause of musical culture
In Omaha. He has done a great , work
alrcadj In cultivating critical appreciation.
In stimulating the appetite of the people
for the best things , and In providing those
things In a fuller measure than any who
have come before him. Ho will not stop at
