DlxcnNxInn of Motor PrnnclilHC by Cltl-
ZCIIM mid Council IN Dcliijutl.
fTho city council was to have met as a com-
hiltteo of the whole last evening lor the pur
pose of permitting the objectors to the pas-
eago of the motor company's ordinance to
have another Inning. The council ad a com-
imltteo of the whole was to have met a committee
mitteeof eight citizens representing the ob
jectors and discuss tbo charter with them.
Chairman Sims of the citizens' committee
Informed the mayor yesterday that It
( would bo Impossible for him to
Ijo present , and at his request
the meeting was deferred until this evening ,
jwhen the friends of the ordinance , the citi
zens' committee and the aldermen , wilt talk
over the matter In a friendly way. What
ever conclusion Is arrived at will bo rccog-
nl/ed by the council when It meets on Tues
day evening for the purpose of taking what
IB now expected to be flnal action upon the
ordinance.
The new ordinance that the council Is now
considering Is almost tbo same as that passed
Tccently by the city council of Dubuque ex
tending the chatter of the street car com
f pany In that city for a period of fifty years.
at Is broider and much more liberal In Its
provisions than the charter originally given
the motor company under which It Is now
operating , provides for the commutation 6-
cent ticket over the bridge line for ( be ac-
Jcommodatlon of worklngmcn and clerks who
( work In Omaha and live In Council Bluffs ,
and meets In many respects the demands
of the citizens. The motor company
objects to some of the prov'slons ' and has
notified the council that It will refuse to
accept It If they are not eliminated. The
opposition to the extension of the franchise
has beeu greatly modified within the last
week.
Thcro Is a general feeling now that the
council will pass the charter ordinance , ard
a. desire on the part of the public that tha
company should accept It aa It novvstands.

AKCI ! tiddler fit ( he Sheriff of Potln-
County IN Ilrtilnlly
Treated lij Two M
Men.
Sheriff Morgan received n letter from his
sister , Mrs Bjrne , living near Lewis , this
county , jesterday afternoon containing in
formation of an outrage that was perpetrated
upon their aged mother on Tuesday night
Mr ? Morgan lives on the old farm home
stead several miles west of Lents , and oc
cuples a little rottago by herself , whllo the
daughter and son Hvo near by. On Tuesday
night between 12 and 1 o'clock Mrs. Morgan
was awakened by a rap on the door. She
called out to ascertain who was there and
was told that It was a messenger with on
Important letter. The voice from the out
side ) was that of a man hoarse or muffled ,
and strange to her. The aged woman was
reluctant to open the door , but after a short
parley unlocked It and opened It far enough
to permit the alleged message to be handed
her. The Instant the door was ajar two
men threw their weight against It and
forced It violently open. Mrs. Morgan was
thrown on the floor anil her mouth stuffed
with rags , aftci which slic watt firmly bound
with cords The men thrn proceeded to
search the house While they were engaged
In this work Mrs Morgan managed to get
the gag from her mouth and told the men
If robbery was their object they would find
nothing by searching , for she had no mono }
or valuables In the house. The men again
forced the rags Into her mouth , tied her
hands firmly behind her and tied her to a
clmlr The robbers then took their tlmo to
search the hou e Their search was re
warded by the dlscnverv of her pocketbook
containing 40 cents , which was all the
monej there was In the house.
After the burglars satisfied themselves
that there was nothing else of value the }
returned to the room where they had left
the hplplehs woman , and after readjusting
the gat ; and tightening the cords that bound
her they left the house and closed the door
Mrs Morgan was bound and gagged until
her daughter called In the morning and
found her Mrs Morgan Is 70 years old ,
and the rough treatment to which she was
subjected and the shock to her nerves has
seriously affected her.
Sheriff Morgan said last evening that thc >
had good reasons for suspecting n couple
of men and had some strong circumstantial
evidence , but feared there would be consid
erable difficulty In Identifying the men , as
the house was dark , or but dimly lighted
and the men wore maiks. His mother con
sequently had but slight opportunity of get
ting a distinct view of their faces.

P. D. Wead , administrator of the estate

a suit In the district court jesterday against
the Lake Manawa Railway company and
Receiver Hannan , asking Judgment for $15-
000 damages for the accidental killing of

occurred on June 20 last jear. Wead and
a party of Omaha friends were returning
from the lake In a large carrjall hired ffom
an Omaha livery stable and driven by a
man In the employ of the stable. As the
carryall approached the point where the
wagon road creeses the motor line , Jubt
north of the lake , the driver observed the
train running parallel with the public high
way and going In the same direction he
was driving. He overlooked the fact that
the railway track made an abrupt turn
Just ahead of htm and crossed the road
and reached the crossing Just as the motor
train struck It. The driver realized hh
danger In time to swing the four-hort. ?
team parallel to the tracks , but the vehicle
was clewo enough to be hit. Wead was sit
ting on the rear steps of the carrjall , and
when It was whirled around he was thrown
under the wheels , and received injuries
from which he died four hours later.
Notice was served on the city yesterday
by Watson Empson that he would begin a
suit at the coming term of the district court
to compel the city to pay him ? 1,000 dam
ages for the loss of his wife's services , the
cost of nursing , doctor's bills and other e\-
ponbra resulting from Injuries bhe received
by falling through a defective sidewalk a
year or more ago. The wife , Mia. Jennie
Empeon , prosecuted a suit against the city

cover damages for the same accident and
the jury awarded her $1. A motion for a
new trial was denied.

with the agricultural Implement men and
other exhibitors In this city relative to the
Importance of making a creditable showing
at the Btnto fair , that will be held at Des
Molnea from September 9 to 18 Secretary
1'ovvler assures the exhibitors that the fair
will bo the best hi all respects ever held In
the state. He calls attention to the fact that
Iowa Is Just now In the beit condition that It
has known since 1892 , and the people will
have plenty to bo.v In the way of exhibits
and money to epend In preparing their ex
hibits. It Is probable that Council Bluff will
have a fine exhibit. The fruit growers are
also urged to unite In getting up the great
fruit display that la possible , and It la likely
that some concerted effort In this line will
bo made. The secretary predicts that the at
tendance will be lamer than ever before , and
that Iho people will be well entertained for
their visit to the Ute' capital.

public spirited women have Interested them
selves In a practical effort to consolidate the
women's clubs of the city There are a score
or more of them , and they cover a wide range
of social and economic alms It has been the
desire of the members of about all of them
to secure a federation that would not Inter
fere with the Individual alms of anj of the
club , but would unite all for the con umma-
tlon of any particular thing desired. This co
operation Is especially desirable In connection
with the propo ed work of Council Bluffs
women In the Tranimlcslrslppl Exposition
Individually no club could have n very greit
Influence , but acting In concert they vvoull
have a power that Is potent and would be
felt whenever exerted. Mrs I'helps has
taken the lead In the effort to effect this
consolidation , and has been proceeding In a
practical way She has leased the suite of
rooms over 414 Dread way and ha ? fitted them
up for the use of all of the club women atnl
Invited eich club to make It heidqiiarters

of the proposed plan for a consolidation re

cessful It will tin thn headquarters for nil of

WASHINGTON , Aujj 2 0 Officials of the
State department wefc very reticent today
when asked concerning n report In circulation
tint Instructions have been given all our
foreign ambassadors and ministers to Euro
pean countries to sound and ascertain the at
titude of European governments , In case the
United States should Interfere In Cuba While
denials were made by some of them , the
others adulttcd that the United States was
ready to atuituo the position taken by Presi
dent Grant in 1874 In his Instructions to Min
ister Cushlng Although It never appears
that these Instructions were carried out and
there Is no knowledge what Spain would
have done In the premises , It Is possible that
Minister Woodford will have a different re
port to make.
It can bo stated on Information received
here that there Is no truth In the report
that Lord Salisbury has sent an unfavorable
answer to a suggestion that the United States
should Interfere , the fact being that he has
not replied at all to the attempt to sound
him on the subject , and that his attitude
gives reason to bcllevo ho will not oppose
such action as our Interests may make neces
sary.
Minister Woodford's Instructions are to In
timate to Spain that the United States will
Intervene unless the situation In Cuba
speedily Improves. This In effect was the
Instructions which were given Mr. Gushing
by Mr. Fish , and It Is understood that the
attitude of the United States Is almost Iden
tical with the position taken during General
Grant's administration Then , as now , the
good offices of the United States had been
tendered to Spain to bring about a settle
ment of the war , "but , " said 'Secretary ' Fish ,
"tho well Intended proffers of the United
States were unwisely rejected by Spain. "
The secretary reviewed the situation , which
presents ? many similar phases to that which
exists now. President Grant said the sec
retary regarded Independence as the neces
sary solution of the Cuban question. The
attitude of the present administration Is said
to be in the same line , and It Is said Min
ister Woodford will make It plain to the
Spanish authorities that our Interests will
moke Intervention Imperative unless some
thing Is done speedily by Spain to Improve
the piesent situation , disastrous to our In
terests.

The social butterfly is really not so much
an idler after all She works bard. She
keeps late hours She manages a house
hold plans entertainment for her guests
superintends the buying of furniture , the
making of dresses , the ordering of dinner ;
is vvorneel by her social duties , by servants ,
by a thousand things , and with it all hlic
must perform the eluties of wifebooel and
motherhood Is it so very wonderful that
her health fails ? It fails as other women's
health fails. The beginning is some slight
derangement of functions peculiarly femi
nine. From the beginning the progress of
disease 19 swift and appalling , unless it is
quickly checked The frightful prevalence
of "female weakness , " over thirty years
ago caused the invention of Dr. Picrcc'a '
1'avorite Prescription. It is a sure , perma
nent cure for the ills common to women. It
is equally valuable in keeping women well.
Taken during tlie expectant period it greatly
lessens and bometimcs entirely eliminates
the pain and danger of child birth.
GOOD COnPLEXION
comes from good digestion and good health ,
and these often come from the cure of con
stipation by Dr Pierce's Pleasant Pellets.
