The Omaha & Council Bluffs Hallway and
Bridge company vestcrday compiled with
the conditions of the new ordinance of last
fall and began to send every alternate
through Omaha train around the Pierce
street loop.
Before the change could bo m.ida It was
necessary to rearraugo the entire train
schedule and In doing this a goad deal of
careful consideration was given to the mat
ter to prevent an ' crippling of the service
on cither Upper Broadway or Lower Main
street. The arrangement finally effected
gives even a better service on the Main
street line and , as a matter of course ,
I largely Increases the facilities on the upper
end of the Broadway line. The Main street
and Fifth avenue lines arc given a regular
nlno mlnuto service during the day and un
til afti'i 0 o'clock each night. To effect
this It was ncce snry to add a couple of stub
trains for each of these two lines and the
only Inconvenience the public will find oc
casioned by the new arrangements will bo
the necessity for transferring at the Pearl
street junction of passengers who coma
from Omaha on the trains that arc destined
to go around the loop and who desire to go
down either Main street or Fifth avenue.
These must secure transfers and take the
stub cars at the junction. Thcbo stub
trains consist of the park line and Tlfth
avenue cars , which will hereafter be
BWItched on each alternate trip at the Pearl
street junction and make the return trip
Instead of continuing the trip over the up
per portion of theh lines. Passengers from
either of these trains who dchlro to go up
Broadway will be given transfers and will
continue the trip on the big care. The only
portion of the line to suffer at nil by the
now arrangements will be the park line ,
which will lese every other trip. This de
fect will , however , be remedied when the
travel on that line demands It. The changes
_ will inaKo a great deal of switching neces-
j sary at the corner of Pearl street and Broad
way , but the motor company believes that
tlio public will fully appreciate the effort
that has been made to conform with the re
quirements'of the ordlnaco and at the same
tlmo not cripple In any manner the service
on any portion of the lines.
The appearance of the big cars on the
upper end of Broadway was the source of
a good deal of satisfaction to residents and
business men. All of the conditions of the
new ordinance have now been compiled with.

two cities nro riding for 5 cents each way

"Tho action of the city council last night
In promptly approving the suggestion for
new pavements to take the place of the
worn-out , disease-breeding and dangerous
cedar blocks is evidence that there Is to be a
general paving campaign this spring , " said
n member of the city council > estcrday. "So
far no objections have been made to the
action of the council In ordering the repavc-
mont of two streets. On the contrary , the )
, majority of the citizens living along Fourth L
street with whom I have talked have ex
pressed themselves as being fully satisfied LI I
with the action of the council. Some of t
them lire ire asphalt Instead of brick and I t
am In favor of giving. It to them provided I
wo can make contracts at low enough prices I
to justify. It will bo easy enough for the
city engineer to prepaio tha necessary speci
fications for this kind of pavement and the
council can adopt them. This should be
done In any event , for the time Is not far dis
tant when at least some of the property
owners will Insist upon having their streets
covered with asphalt. But the general dis
position of all the members of the council
and about all the people Is to favor brick
paving. This comes from n commendable
desire to kee-p all of the money at homo and
| to glvo a durable and cleanly pavement.
\ This , of course , means that the brick used
shall bo made at home. There Is no use
i denying the fact that some of the very best
| brick pavements wo have In the cltv today
are made of Council Bluffs brick. There Is
no bettor material for use on the residence
streets where the traffic Is not so heavy ,
and when bomo-mado brick Is used not a
i dollar of the cost of paving goes outside of
I the city. The complaint of the contractors ,
t Is that there Is not a sufficient quantity of
vitrified brick In the local yards to do any
considerable amount of paving. The con
tractors claim that to secure paving brick
It Is necessary to burn more than an equal
amount of building brick In each kiln. It
seems to mo that now Is a good tlmo for the
brlckniakcrs to begin the proper prepara
tions for making vitrified brick. They have
always claimed that there was not sufficient
Inducements offered by the city to justify
the expense < jf putting up properly con
structed kilns to make all of the contents
paving or building brick at will. With over
cloven miles of rotten cedar blocks In n con
dition that must necessitate Immediate removal -
moval and miles of other streets where the
property owners nro beginning to clamor
for paving , It seems to mo that the Induce
ments arc great enough and sufficiently ap
parent to satisfy any maker that there will
be a demand for all of the suitable brick
ho can make. To supply the demand al
ready In sight millions of brick will bo re
quired. It may be that eomo now material
will have to bo added to our brick clay to
make suitable paving brick and this may
have to be shipped a short distance , but It
Is better to ship In this raw material than
pay out money for the finished product of
other yardj.
! "It Is very piobablo that within the next
few weeka the city will bo called upon to
order Hie paving of half a dozen additional
streets , At the next meeting of the council
an ordinance will probably bo Introduced
for the. paving of Fletcher avenue. Low
prices and good work will Justify the ex
penditure of a great many thousand dollars
this season and to have gangs ot pavers at
work all over the town would have about
as goo < l effect upon exposition visitors as to
have the work already done. If homo-made
material Is used the cost of paving will
not entail any hardships on the people , for
the expenditure of the money will cause a
revival of business that will make It easy
for all to pay the slightly Increased taxes. "

Women ti Help Kxiioxltloii.
In accordance with the plans of the execu
tive committee ot the Council Bluffs Trans-
mlul&slppl Exposition auxiliary to secure
the MiletAQctt of the Women' * clubs to ratee
funds for the wigwam a meeting of the
women has been called for this afternoon
In the Grand hotel. At this meeting plans will
be discussed for at leant onn entertainment
which will Ixs originated and will bo under
the auspices of the members of tlie women's
clubs of this city Several plans have been
( llKCiiRRcd and all appear to he feasible. One
Is to give an entertainment In which a large
number of children will take part. This Is
a part of the general p'an for a scries of
entertainments to bo given In tbo Immediate
future. One of the two others Is to bn a
vaudeville show with original features and
local hits , and the other a dramatic enter
tainment also by local talent. Nearly all of
ttio arrangements for these two latter en-
tcrlAlnmints have been cunpletcd and the
women will probably complete this aftcrnocci
the arrangements for the big Juvenile show
It Is believed that the three entertainments
can be made the means of raising moro than
Jl.OOO for the wigwam fund. Some opposi
tion was encountered In the general exposi
tion committee , some of whose members
thoiiRtit tl.o methods of raising money were
scarcely commensurate with the dignity of
the enterprise , but their objections have
been silenced.

DKIIciilt Operation Performed.
The operation of cranlotomy was succerR-
fully performed yesterday for the second
tlmo within a week at St. Bernard's hof-
pltal. The patient was the Rev. Cluse , pas
tor of the Christian church at Modalti , la.
When he was a boy ho was klrked by a
horse , the animal's hoof striking him on the
upper part of the forehead The wound In
flicted was slight and he soon recovered.
Mr. Cluso Is now a , man of 45 years of age.
and no tad effects were felt from the wound
until n fhort tlmo ago , when bo began to
suffer severe hcadacbc. The trouble was
traced to the Inlury and has been rapidly
growing worse. He came to Council UlufTs
and consulted with physicians and was in
duced to consent to an operation , which
WOH performed jcsterday by the regular
corps of phjslcians at the hospital. A t.ecHo'i
of the skull was removed where the Injury
had been received many jcareago. A growth
was found beneath the bono and which was
pressing upon the brain. This was remove 1
and the skull trephined. The patient had
recovered from the anasthetlcs last cvcnlrg
and was resting comfortably.
The other operation was performed upon
Eddlo Manor , formerly a well known young
man around town. Ho was taken 'o the hos
pital with one side completely parnlv7cd. A
section of the skull was taken out on the
opposite side of the head and the trouble
located and removed. Last evening he was
nblo to appear at the dining table and eat
a hearty meal. Ho ha& almost completely
regained the use ot his left arm and leg.

All of the direct testimony for the plaintiff
In the Deere , Wells & Co. damage suit has
been Introduced and the tiklng ot testimony
by the defense was begun jestorday. The
members of the fire department were the
chlpf witnesses yesterday , and all of their
testimony was to show the dlrccticn ot the
wind at the tlmo the fire was burning and
the point where the outbreak first occurred.
The testimony all showed that the wind was
blowing strongly from the southeast and
that the fire appeared near the front pirt
of the Wler-Shugart warehouse. Fully as
great an array of citizens will testify as to
the direction of the wind , asserting that it
was from the southeast all the afternoon as
testified for the plaintiff that the breeze
was coming from the southwest and con
tinued from the southwest during the prog
ress of the conflagration. It will require
about all of the week to get In this testi

street and shoved his fist through all the
windows ho could reach. All of the window s
were broken and his hands were severely cut
by the glasn. The new information was

tlic Other for
Support.
DBS MOINES. March 1. ( Special Tele
gram. ) The senate apptopr'atlans committee
has practically decided a basts of reduction
ot support funds of the state Institutions.
It recommends the following reductions In
per capita allowances : Hospital at Inde
pendence , $14 to $12 per month ; hospital at
Clarlnda , $14 to $13 ; reform school at El-
dora , $10 to $3.CO ; Soldiers' Orftians home
at Davenport , $10 to $9 per month ; college
for blind , Vlnton , $40 to $35 per quarter. As
to other Institutions , the committee will net
later. The recommendations outlined would ,
according to the committee , save : At the
Insane hospitals , $53,644 ; at the reform
schools , $10SCO ; at tlio soldiers' orphans
home , $6,844 at the Institution for feeble
minded , $6,760 ; at the college for the blind ,
$3,1 0 ; total annually , JS0.22S.
It Is proposed to divide the support fund
to make two separate funde , one for ( salaries ,
the other for support. It has been found
that the tendency Is to draw ttio full per
capita and when there Is more than neces
sary to support the Inmates properly , the
surplus Is absorbed by raising saint les. Tlio
cry has risen from the kistltutlotm that to
reduce tlio support fund would glvo poorer
fare. To gturd against this , the fund will
bo divided so that economies may be effected
at the expense of the salary funds Instead
of food and 0011x0111011008 provided for In
mates.
The house committee on banlts and bankIng -
Ing decided to report for passage the
Saiitce bill to provide state supervision and
Inspection of private banks. Ido tone of
the house nan been very friendly to the
measure. Jackson will present a minority
report In opposition.
Representative Potter ot Drtmer an
nounced ! that he will call up his manufac
turing bill In a day or two He Is Indignant
because the committee to which It was re
ferred has not called for It , but has left it
In the hands of the clerk. Under the rules
bo Is entitled to call It up after It baa re
mained uncalled 'for ten ttajs. This limit
will expire In a day or two. Ho has can
vassed ttio house and Is more confident than
ever that It will pass.
The house pardon committee has prac
tically agreed to recommend the pardon of
Wesley Elklns , the boy murderer.
DCS iMolncs asked the legislature to glvo
a valuable quarter block of down town prop
erty , now used as a site for the state ar
senal , for a library site. The property Is
probably worth $40,000 ; the committee rec
ommends that It bo glvcu to the city for
$15,000.
TEMPLE AMDNDMCNT MUSS.
Lieutenant Governor Mllllmau has been
making some Investigations Into the par
liamentary situation of 'the ' Temple amend
ment and decides that the bill has passed
legally. He sajs the much-discussed mo
tion by Byers to engross the bill was made
after Hobart had made a motion to re
consider the bill engrossed and place It on
third reading. The IJjiers motion , the lieu
tenant governor claims , was made as a sub
stitute and In rejecting It the senate only
refubcd to engross the bill by one process ,
accepting another. This , ho says. Is proper
and does not carry the bill to the table.
Ho says all the parliamentary authorities
and 'the custom of both houses from the- be
ginning sustains this view.
The board of control pendulum swung
strongly toward the favorable side today.
The house took up the measure as a special
order and thirty-three amendments were of
fered , alter which the house postponed con
sideration of the measure until next Tues
day. This was exactly the action which the
senate framers and supporters of the meas
ure had desired. They wanted to see the
house amendments and then have the senate
consider the bill first. Tomorrow the meas
ure will bo a special order in the senate
and the upper body will thus have worked
on It four days before the houpe lakes hold of
the serious work. The senate Is thus prac
tically assured of keeping In the lead and
being able to send Its perfected bill to
the house before the house can shape its
measure and para It. The feeling on both
sides of the cupltol Is that the bill Ii much
safer in the senate than In the bouse , be
cause the men who made It best understand
It In the upper body.
In the senate the forenoon was devoted
'to ' the discussion of the problem of county
care for the Insane In county asylums.
MUNICIPAL CAMPAIGN.
Early this forenoon John MacVlcar was
notified that ho 'iad received , officially , 6,130
votes , against 2,626 for John Sherman. Mac-
Vicar carried every precinct In the town ,
very few by less thin a two to one vote.
What Is far more Important he carried
through with him a city council ticket of
nine men , all pledged to municipal owner
ship and the furtherance of the major's pol
icy In every way. The council will succeed
a body In which tbo opposition to Mac-
Vicar has had from the beginning a major
ity and has Impeded him UK far as possi
ble. The whole result was from erie point
of view a personal victory for Jchn Mac-
Vicar , who until two years ago was com
paratively unknown , a young business man ,
proprietor of a painting , decorating and sign
painting business. Now ho Is president of
the American. League of Municipalities , re-
nomlnaled for mayor by the greatest majority
ever known , after the hardest fight over

Sioux City Tribune : The logic of the

easy to pay the state debt if the people will
consent to higher taxes. Othcrvvlso It must
linger with thorn.
iMarshalltown Times-Republican : A corn
flipper was given recently In an Iowa town.
That Is a typical Huwkeyo feast , and others
of the kind should bo encouraged In this
maize-Ing great state.
Keolcultf Gate City : A bill to prevent first
cousins from marrying In Iowa has been
reported favorably by the public health
committee of the state senate. It ought to
bo amended to Include degenerates and the
sufferers from certain constitutional dis
eases and then be. enacted into law.
Sioux City Journal : J. R. sovereign , ex-
Governor Doles' former statistician , has
turned up at Carthage. Mo. , ns grand chief
of the Wigwam Order of Mohawks. The
Mohawks are understood to be a secret po
litical society and If the chief's duty Is
to put on war paint and make a big nolso
they vvlll find ( Mr. Sovereign , the right sort
of an Indian.
Storm Lake Tribune : Since the announce
ment by F. H. Helsell of Sioux Rapids that
ho is not a candidate for congressman ,
Judge Lot Thomis of this city has bet-n
suggested as eminently fitted for the posi
tion , and ho has been solicited by his
friends throughout Beuna Vista county and
In various parts of the district to enter the
field. The suggestion of his possible can
didacy has met with such cordial approval
and ho has received so many voluntary as
surances of support that ho has decided to
be a candidate. It 'Is perhaps needless to
say that ho vvlll bo a very strong ono. Ho

Woid comc-s fiom tlio Pottawattamlo dele
gation In the Iowa legislature that there
has grown up In the committee within the
last few days another strong feeling In
favor of n liberal appropriation for the
Transmlsslsslppl Exposition The amount to
bo agreed upon and presented to the legisla
ture with the goucial appropriation bill will
bo the last act of the appropriation com-
mlttco. The alarm at the economy that
has been manlfcstoJ by the committee In
the treatment of the demands of the state
Institutions has given place to the convlc- |
tlon that this economy will be the means
of making It possible for n moro liberal ap- I
proprlatlon for the exposition. The local I
members of the legislature are now moro |
sanguine of a fair appropriation than they
vvcro a fmv davs ago. The sentiment has
grown In both branches of the legislature
that If Iowa Is to make any display at all
it must bo one commensurate with the
dignity and wealth of the stato.
