CITY COUNCIL PROCEEDINGS
Oonnoll in Committee of Whole Wrastlea
with Appropriation Ordinance ,
STRICT ECONOMY IS THE WATCHWORD
of Cu ltiK KxpcnnoK in the
lliiUom .Volcli In 12vur > - Depart
ment \o Action In Tukeu
In ( he Mutter.
The city council met as a committee of
the whole last night and spent some tlmo In
the reception and discussion of the new gen
eral appropriation ordinance made necessary
.by the changed condition and methods of
doing business under the new law. The
city's legislative body first convened no a
council and Immediately adjourned to rc-
convcno as a cotnmlttco of the whole. The
special appropriation commltU'0 made Its
report and submitted the appropriation or
dinance ns drawn by the city attorney. Al
derman lAlklnu , us chairman of the commit
tee , etatcd that the matter bad been given
tbo greatest care and most careful attention.
Tbo small amount that would lie available
for the year made It necessary to Insist upon
the closest possible economy In all the de
partments. The ordinance fixes the salaries
and tbo amounts for each department as fol
lows :
Mayor's salary , $900 ; auditor and treasurer ,
each , $1,000 ; city sollcItorlCOO ; city clerk ,
$1OSO ; deputy clerk , $000 ; finance clerk , $300 ;
city physician , $250 ; custodian city building ,
$540 ; Judge of superior court , $1,000 ; salaries
of the eight aldermen , $250 each ; police de
partment , Including scavenger's salary and
fcci' , $17,000 ; fire department , $17,000 ; city
electrician and supplies for his office , $1,300 ;
engineer's department , Including salaries and
supplies , $2,000 ; streets and alleys depart
ment , Including salaries of street commis
sioners and all other expenses , $3,000 ; printIng -
Ing and supplies , $2,000 ; city pound , $ SOO ;
gas and electric lights , $11,500.
The amount appropriated for all of the
various funds was made simply to Include
the amount of cash , on hand and all that
will bo realized by the collection of taxes
from the levy of last year. The only ex
ception that was made In any of these funds
was the water fund , to which was added
$3,600 from the police fund. The same course
was taken with the park and the public II-
brary funds. All ot the remaining funds
that como lntr the city treasury during the
year were appropriated for the contingent
fund.
After some discussion the motion was
made to recommend the ordinance for pas
sage , but Alderman Graham objected nnd
asked for further time to consider It. He
wanted to make some changes , ono of which
was to Increase the amount set aside for the
mayor's salary. Alderman Atkins was wil
ling to give all the time necessary for con
sideration , but ho believed that It would be
'found ' Impracticable to make any changes ,
for the reason that the committee had an
ticipated every dollar of Income the city
would receive during the year and the
probability was that the estimates would
provo larger than the receipts and there
would bo deficiencies In the funds. The com
mittee had gone upon the theory that there
would bo at least $30,000 In the police fund
from saloon licenses and there was danger
that this would bo considerably less. Tl'fv
had estimated that the contingent fund
would contain less than $2,000 , which muat
cover all cases of special exigency during
the year.
The ordinance makes a general cut In the
salaries of the mayor , city solicitor , treas
urer , auditor , city clerk , custodian of the
building and the fire department. The
amount of $300 Is taken from the salaries
of the mayor and city attorney and $200 each
from the treasurer and auditor and $120
from the clerk. The same radical cut Is
made In the engineer's and streets and al
leys department. In fact , a cut has been
made In every department except where ex
isting contracts , llko these with tbo water
works and lighting companies , made It im
possible.
The committee reverted to the considera
tion of the new telephone ordinance , which
provides for a reduction of moro than one-
half In the existing rate of tolls. W. II.
Ware appeared before the committee In the
Interest of the citizens and submitted cor
respondence showing the telephone tolls In
a largo number of Iowa cities and estimates
of the cost of Installing nnd operating ex
changes. Ttio rates -anged from $30 to $18
a year , and the cost of maintaining each
telephone , Including taxes , labor , repairs ,
rental , etc. , was fixed at $15 a year. At the
ccticlufilon of the reading of the letters and
the statements made by Mr. Ware , City At
torney Hazelton gave the aldermen some In-
fo'ir.otlon that brought the discussion to an
abrupt termination. Ho showed that the
statute gave the council no authority to rcg-
ulato telephone tolls , which was simply a
matter to bo adjusted by mutual agreement
between ttio company and Its patrons. He
stated that the defect In the law had been
noted and a bill had been prepared and was
now before tha legislature giving the city
this power. Until this bill became a law any
ordinance passed by tbo council would have
no effect.
The now ordinance changing the license
fees charged to hucksters was laid on the
table. The existing ordinance provides for an
annual llccnae of $75 , and the amended ordi
nance provided for a monthly payment of
$5. It was fitrongly opposed by Alderman
Atkins , who declared that ho had been ad-
vlscd that at least 100 hucksters had ar
ranged to como over from Omaha and oper
ate grocery stores on wheels. His ea nest-
ncs5 convinced the council that there was
SKIIO danger and tfaero was no dissent to the
motion to lay the anicndment on the table.
The protest against allowing a saloon license
to Mlko Klldare was withdrawn and the li
cense ordered Issued.
fiMUUS J'LAXT FINALLY SOLO
J. J. S ( Mvnrt Ilu > H It for lflt > ll ) , After
1.0111 ? IllllllllltC.
The Evening Qlobo plant was sold yester
day by Receiver Chase to the highest bidder
to satisfy Landlord Whitney's claim for
unpaid rent and $300 unpaid labor claims.
Judge Thorncl ) rendered hia decision In the
matter of the Intervention of the Campbell
Printing Press company , which claimed title
to the vrlnclpal jirew on account of an un
paid balance of $ COO on the purchase price ,
The court held that the claim did not take
precedence of the landlord's attachment and
that the neglect of the printing presa com
pany to record Its mortgage was a fatal
defect which could not bo corrected by any
alleged verbal agreement with the attor
ney for the landlord. This left tbo rent and
labor claims tbo solo preferred claims and
enabled the receiver to give a clear title
to any purchaser who would sntUfy thcsu
claims. In accordance with prevloua pre
dictions there were no outside bidden , J. J ,
Stewart nid Emmet Tlnley , two local at-
torneju , being tlio culy persons present
who manifested- dcslro to acquire posses
sion of the wreck of the whilom demo
cratic organ , The preferred claims approx
imated $1,900 , but the opening bids ranged
around the $1,000 figure for eomo time , but
were finally boosted up to $1,900 , then the
amount wai gradually raised until $49 had
been added , aud It was knocked down to
Attorney Stewart , The last and winning bid
was Just GO cents better than Attorney Tin-
ley's bcit bid , and If be ever bad any anx
iety lo become owner of a democratic news
paper he heroically sacrificed It for a pal
try half dollar ,
A great deal of speculation bos naturally
followed an to whom the two bidders rep-
rcatnted , there being no possibility that
eltber of them had any perional Interest
l < i the Halo beyond tbelr capacity as agents
Tor uomebody e'.ea. Both , however , persist
In tlio auction that 'they were acting for
themselves , TInlcy for the gold democrats
and Steftart for the free sllverltes. It waa
Intimated on several occasions that T. J.
Evans , who nas present and took n good
deal of Interest In the sale , Is connected
with a free el Ivor organlatlon that will
eventually operate the plant. Another the
ory that finds many -believers and has the
most reasonable grounds for belief Is that
Mr. Stewart represents John P. Weaver ,
owner of all of the stock of the old com
pany and the heaviest loser In the failure.
Inquiries seeking for proof of tb's were
met with sturdy refusals , but It Is more
than likely that this will provo to bo the
case , The sale price left uncarcd for costs
amounting to over $300 acid one mortgage
to the bank of Officer & Pusey amounting
to $3COO , besides other debts which will
approximate several thousand dollars more.
The receiver's title Is perfect and cuts out
all ot these claims. The only Information
that Receiver Chase could give was the as-
stiranco that ho knew nothing about the re
organization scheme and that the title whra
It passed would go to J. J. Stewart. Mr.
Stewart said that the publication of a dally
edition would be commenced next -week.

$8,028.31 ; school book fund , $809.75 ; school
house fund , $9,425.81 ; total $46,133,63. , Ho
recommended that the following amounts be
levied for the onsulng year : For teachers'
fund , $45,000 ; contingent fund , $12,000 ;
school house fund , $0,000 , this being $3,000
below the levy for last year. lie also sub
mitted the following resolution , which was
adopted unanimously :
"In view of the fact that on account ot
the reduction In the assessed value of the
district In recent years , the bonded Indebted
ness of the district , amounting to $102,000.
Is now 'within ' $70 000 ot the constitutional
limit of 5 per cent of the total assessed
value of the district , wo would recommeia
that the proposition bo submitted to the
electors of the Independent school district
of Council Bluffs to vote a tax of $10,000 to

Justice of the Peace Charles E. Bradley
and J. H. Larlson of Sliver Creek township
are In contempt of the district court and
will ttf 'brought In today and asked to show
cause why they should not ibo punished. On
Saturday the justice was served with a writ
of Injunction Issued 'by ' Judge Thornell re-
ctrnlnlng him from interfering with the prop
erty rights of the Omaha. National bank In
some farm lands In Sliver Crook township.
The writ waa also directed against Larlson ,
who had begun proceedings In the justice's
court to oust the tenant whom the bank had
placed In charge of tbo property. When At
torney Hendrlcks loft the Justice on Satur
day afternoon after Inducing him to make
his "roolln1 " denying the motion of the at
torney to dismiss the case on the plain stat
utory ground that the plaintiff had no stand.
Ing In court , owing to the absence of any
sort of a petition or a scratch on tbo court
docket to show that a case had over been
commenced , ho hacV an Idea that the justice
would have some trouble In comprehending
the force of a restraining order from a higher
court. Inquiries yesterday resulted In dis
closing the fact that the justice went /ahead
and finished up1 the case , finding tbo bank's
tenant a trespasser , and when ho refused to
vacate Issued a warrant for his arrest. This
waa a double bit of contempt , and the Coun
cil Bluffs attorney at once took steps to call
the matter to the attention of Judge Thor
nell and asked for the J&suanco of bench
warrants for the two men.

The observance of Washington's birthday
In the city schools yesterday waa a most
Interesting event to the children and to a
largo number of doting mothers and rela
tives , who flocked to the school buildings.
The oxerclscs wcro held In every bullying In
the city. In the High school and some of
the upper grades they arose almost to the
dignity of commencement day events. In
the declamations and original effusions fre
quent allusions wcro made to the blowing
up of the Malno nnd each pupil was a rcdhot
llttlo patriot , filled with a burning deslro to
do something or say something that would
aid lu upholding the country's honor and
dignity , In all of the schools lengthy pro
grams were followed , composed of recita
tions , short speeches and songs. In many
respects the most Interesting were the serv
ices In the kindergarten rooms , where the
llttlo people spent the day In making things
commemorative of Washington and his great
reputation as a truthtcllcr. Hatchets and
cherry trees were constructed of all tbo
available material on band. The drawings

The state geological survey ot Iowa has re
cently undertaken the collection of etatlatlcs
of production of the various minerals mined
In the state. The work has been dcno by the
secretary of the survcv. Minn Ncllto K. New.
man , under the direction of Assistant State
Geologist H. F. Bain. The summaries given
below are In advance of the official report ,
which will Issued shortly. Since a few of
the producers have not yet made returns , the
tool values may bo slightly different , but It
Is believed that the figures given hero will
provo very close approximations. The
a mo tut estimated without returns Is In each
case noted separately. Since the orlgKnl
mailing lists were made up from field notes
of various members of the survey corps , per
sonally familiar with the capacity of the In
dividual plants , It Is probable that the esti
mates arc quite accurate. In most caseo
they are based on kno\\n returns for previous
years. Since this la the first tlmo that com-
plcto statistics have been compiled for the
calendar year , there Is no opportunity for
comparison with former years nnd the notes
given arc based mainly upon personal knowl
edge and en returns from chief producers.
The total values for Jhe chief minerals
mined In the state are ao follows :
Coal $ r > , n-,2,7SG.7S
Clay lB5G.M < i.OO
Stone 577.121.03
Gypsum 400.000.00

LARGE OUTPUT OF COAL.
The year was , so far as tonnage was con
cerned , the best the Iowa field fjas experi
enced with the possible exception of 1S0.1.
The average prlco was , however , lower than
before. The year opened dull with only the
usual winter trade. In the spring mid sum
mer things went from bad to worse , but with
the coming of the Illinois strike orders be
gan to come to Iowa. The regular fall trade
came later , and with a rusb. From a study
of the returns It Is evident that ttiero was o
largo and nominal Increase of business en
tirely aside from the enlarged trade duo to
the strike across the river. The railways
'
were' doing more hauling and needed more
coal. The early cold weather also stiffened
up the demand. The total coal produced may
be put down at 5,2SO' , < )00 ) short tons , this In
cluding an allowance ; of' ' 12 per cent for the
output of certain cocipqliies which for vari
ous reasons have not yet sent In their re
turns. The value of ' this' ' coal was $5,633,000.
Tfoere are no figure's at hand fee- the twelve
months Immediately preceding. In 1S95 , ac
cording to the United States geological sur
vey , the production was 4,150.074 tons , with a
value of $4,982,102. According to the reports
nude to the state mine Inspector the pro
duction of lump coal for the twelve months
ending Juno 30 , 1897 , was 3,779,734 tons ,
with a total value of $4,856,971.92 ; an average
of $1.27 per ton. This Is' equivalent to about
4,907,000 tons of all sizes. The Increased pro
duction In 1897 was not duo so much to the
opening of now mines , but to working fuller
time. The capacity of the mines now opened
is far ahead of the demand. The average
number of days worked was 180 , and varied
by counties from eighty-eight to 254. Only
a few of the largest mines worked full tlmo.
For the year ending December 31 , the average -
ago price was Sl.12 % . This was for ail the
coal. It varied In the different counties from
91 cents to $2. TUe average price of lump coal
for the entire state was almost exactly $1.25.
The average prlco of nut and slack cannot
bo so exactly stated since not all the coal is
screened alike , and a good deal of the smaller
coal having no value Is not reported sepa
rately. No attempt has been made to sepa
rate the mine run from the total coal. The
percentage of nut , lump and slack vary
greatly , being different from each ccal bed ,
and varying also with the care wltb which
the coal la handled. Averages for the entire
state give lump 70 per cent , nut 14 per cent ,
slack 10 per cent. The range of variation for
lump Is 65.93 ner ccmt. nut 20.R nw rnnK
slack 18,4 per cent.

CLAY AND OLAY PRODUCTS.
The trade In clay products Is In the most
satisfactory condition In which It has been
slnco IS93. The outlook for the paving
brick Industry Is especially encouraging.
The Dei Jlolnes producers , for example , In
1896 marketed 18,000 000 pavers , a large portion
tion being old stock and very little man-
facturlng being done. In 1897 the same
plants turned out and sold 30,300,000 bricks
for the handsome sum of $252,984 , The
Northwestern Sewer Pipe works at Sioux
City this year turned Its attention to pavers
nnd could have sold three times Its actual
output. Inthe ( building brick Industry pro
ducers report trade from 20 to 40 per cent
better , except In the case of small producers ,
shut out of the general market. The year
started with heavy stocks carried over and
dull trade , but soon livened up and the old
stock went off rapidly. Many plants , which
were shut down half or full time In 1890 ,
ran full tlmo In 1897. The demand was for
low-priced goods. The fancy grades of
bricks have never had a largo sale In Iowa
and for the present are a drug on the market.
Ono largo and well equipped plant , after a
hard struggle to develop a trade In these
lines , has gone out of the nmi'ket and other
manufacturers are turning their attention to
common grades. The long haul to foreign
markets and the nbtence of large local cities
makes It Impossible at present to develop
a trade , despite the1 fact that the best of
goods are offered ,
Returns from 284 'producers give the total
value of the brick produced at $1,135,214. and
of all clay products $1,550,080. These amounts

STONE QUARRIES OF IOWA.
The quarries of Iowa are mostly email.
The stones quarried Include limestone , dolomite
mite and a limited amount of sandstone. Tha
Industry is yet In Its Infancy and there are
many excellent quarry sites yet unoccupied.
Returns from 291 produpers , Including
oyery Important quarry In the state and
most of the small ones , show that $577.-
121,03 worth of stone was marketed In 1697.
To this may be added { 3.COO as the value oj
ptono from small quarries not yet reported ,
This production was distributed ns follows :

nish a magncslnn llmo of excellent quality ,
which Is fast obtaining a hold on the west
ern market. Cedar county has the distinc
tion of possessing the largest single quarry
In the state , the Cedar Valley quarry be-
llnglng to E. J. C. liealcr. In general , the
trade conditions In stone were not greatly
different from those of 1896. The small
quarries report larger sales and there seems
to have been a general , though slight , In
crease In the amount of stone taken out for
building purposes. The lime trade was prac
tically the same as In 1836 , and there was
no great change In the amount of rock used
for concrete and road uses.

FOHT I1UUGB PARISH DIVISION.
Ordern of Arolililxliop IlrnncNisjAVIII
S < n lid for All Time.
FORT DODGE , la. , Feb. 21. ( Special. )
The Corpus Chrlstl parish division case Is
officially at an end. The case has attracted
considerable attention , and the highest au
thorities of the Catholic church were In
volved In It. Archbishop Hennessy of Du
buque , ordered the division of the parish , as
Is his usual custom , without consulting the
congregational here. They rebelled vigor
ously and much bad feeling arcse. From
being one of the wealthiest producers of
revenues In the diocese It became one of
the poorest. The archbishop went ahead
and built another church In the new parish ,
but the congregation would not attend It ,
while awaiting the result of an appeal to
Manager JIartlnclll. The press dispatches
about the case recently have not been very
accurate. The cold truth Is that the case
Is at an end and the archbishop has his
way. The parish Is divided and will remain
divided , nnd that Is the end of It. It Is
not true , as reported from Washington , that
the archbishop refused to recognize the au
thority of the papal delegate , or that an
appeal has been taken to Rome. The arch
bishop's authority to make such division ,
when In his Judgment the Interests of the
church will bo served , is fully recognized.

ccrtlllcntcs that would , ever after , In the
treasury or out , bo full lejjal tender nnd the
treasury would receive his silver.

Multiply slmllnr transactions to any ex

Heverso the market. When A. returns his
certltlcnto for redemption silver has fallen
to 2j cents nn ounce. Ho receives 200 ounces

The treasury hns neither gained nor Ion a
