WICKHAM THE LOWEST ON ALL PLANS Top Courno Will Dpolilc ( lie Cunt a in ! thr Tii\iia > crn lime the Cliolvc of Which I'artU-iilnr Sort Will He I'at Don n. A tabulation by City Engineer Etn > rc of the bids for paving opened by the city council Wednesday night shows E. A. Wick ham to bo the lowest bidder on all classes of brick and the contract will undoubted ! ! ho nwaided to him nt the regular meeting of the city fathers next Slonday night. The total amount of paving ordered Is In round numbers 16,000 square yards and the amount of .tho contract will depend on the brick used for the top course. The choice of kind of brick has been left by the council with the property owners Interested and who will have to pay for the paving Should they decide on the homo product for botl top and bottom courses It will mean a. sav ing on the cntlro contract of about $4,000 , as ithe cost ot the paving If only Council Bluffs brick Is used will amount to some thing like $20,000 , while If Des Molnes brick Is used for the top course It will cost somr $4,000 more , and If Qnlcsburg brick should bo selected as the material for the top coutso It will Increase the amount of the contract about $7,000. Wlckham's bids were DCS Molnes brick , $1.39i ; Oalesburg brick , $107'4 ; St. Joe or Nebraska City brick , $1.32. These prices vvero for cosh , with G per cent added foi certificates , the bottom course In each case to bo Council Bluffs brick. His bid foi Council Bluffs brick , both top and bottom courses , was $1.22 for certificates , less It per cent for cash. The cost of the paving will have to bo figured on the certificate price as none of It It Is expected will bo paid for In cash. It may bo that on nil the streets ordered paved the same material will bo used , al though that will not bo known until the meutlng of the city council Monday night , at which tlmo the Interested property own- era are to state their preferences. There Is qulto an agitation for the use ot the home-mado material and several of the al dermen are strongly In favor of using Coun cil Bluffs brick exclusively , provided all 'things ' are equal. Aldermen Chrlstenson , Brough and Johnson are three of the city fathers who are most outspoken on the matter. Argument for Homo Brick. The champions of the home-mado product point to the paving on Willow avenue , where nothing but Council Bluffs brick was used , as an example nnd an argument that the money expended on paving should be kept nt home. The paving on Willow ave nue they claim is as good today as It was when laid several > ears ago. They also in sist that the Council Ulufts brick when propel ly burned nnd laid Is not as liable to chip at the edges as the Des Molnes vitrified brick Is. That the DCS Molnes product is liable to chip at the edges , they assert , Is demonstrated by the paving on Pearl street. With the exception of some on North Main street It does not appear that many of the property owners interested in the pav ing are in favor of using Council Bluffs brick for the top course. It is admitted by many of them that undoubtedly Just as good brick could be made here as anywhere else , but a creat deal would depend on the effi ciency ot the Inspectors employed by the city. For Instance , they argue that the manufacturers of the Dea Molnes brick would not rlak shipping out any defective brick for fear of having to pay the freight both ways on It If discarded by the con tractor or Inspector , while , on the other hand , the local brick maker would only be at the expense of the haul from his kilns to the street being caved and unless the Inspector specter Is constantly on the alert there will bo opportunities for poor brick to escape his attention and be laid. This , however , the local manufacturers say they will guard against and If their product Is used will guarantee they will make and provide Just as good brick as ever came from Des Molnos , Gnlesburg or anywhere else. Alderman Johnson stated yesterday when discussing the matter that he Is In favor of using the homo material , first , last and all the tlmo , provided the local brick makers will nut out a brick that would equal the foreign article. It Is said that the majority of the prop erty owners on Aveni'e F , ono of the streets ordered paved , are In favor of DCS Molnes brick for the top course and will present a pcteltlon to that effect at the council meeting Monday night. Several of the property owners on Bryant street have also expressed themselves In favor of the Des Molnes article. Some Mar Go Over. It Is doubtful If Washington avenue Harrison risen and Frank street will bo paved this year. At the time that the council passed the resolution ordering the street paved a verbal agreement was entered Into with the abutting property owners that no paving would bo done this year unlcbs n , majority of the property owners petitioned for It. Phil Wnrcham , who heads those anxious for the work to bo done this year , pre sented a petition nt 'the ' last meeting of the council , which at the time was said to be signed by a majority of those Interested Henry Rlshton , who owns considerable property on the avenue , has another peti tion protesting against paving this year and says his protest bears the signatures of the majority of the property owners. Some of those Interested are said to be indifferent whether the paving is laid this year or next and have signed both the pell- tlon and the protest and the council will have to figure out for Itself next Monday night which faction has carried.

Henry Martin , a colored Jockey recently employed at the Driving park , complained to the police yesterday that Joseph Needle , another member of the same profession , had stolen his grip containing a fine assort ment of clothing. Martin left his grip at a grocery store , Intending to call for It later. Needle , who has been n side partner of Martin , went to the store ahead ot him , secured the grip , pawned the overcoat , and then skipped the town. The police recov ered the rent , but as yet have been unable to locate Needle , the grip or the rest ot Martin's wearing apparel. I.t-tn I.ouurlirnn Out. Frank I ) .

Loughran was a most peculiar case. Accompanied by his wife and mother-in-law he visited the exposition for several days , after which ho 3ent his wife nnd her mother home Intend ing himself to go to St. Paul on business. Ho drifted to the Bluffs , where be went on a tear and was undoubtedly under the Influ ence ot drink when he committed the theft.

HARD LUCK FOR DEMOCRATS State Central Committee Finds Itself in Great Straits , SPEAKERS DECLINE TO TAKE THE STUMP Ht cn : \ - ( ! crnor Homer Hole * Snyn llf Will a itt ( it * ( Out niul Tnllt Mt n Platform Cauni-fi the Defection. DES MOINES. Sept. 30. ( Special Tele gram. ) The democratic state central com mittee today postponed the opening ot Its campaign until October 11 , when It will be opened simultaneously In each district If the speakers can bo secured. The committee la In a pickle. The first work of the commit tee upon opening headquarters In Des Molues was to prepare and scud out to all the well known leaders In the party nicely worded Invitations to take nn active part In the campaign. These letters were couched In language which fairly bristled with patriotic sentiment nnd glowed with hope. It was said that the piesent cam paign presented the opportunity of the cen tury to defeat that enemy of good govern ment and free silver , the republican party. Clerks carried these mlsslvefe to the post- ofllco by the armful nnd the committee set tled Itbelf comfortably to await returns , but the answers that hnvo been received arc most surprising to the committee. The men who have always scncd ns wheel horses bay they cannot swallow the Marshalltown platform and positively refuse to take the stump. Some do not stop with this , but politely Inform the committee that they will act with the republicans. Even ex-Governor Boles sent a declination couched In unmistakable terms. Walter Collins , the 13-year-old son of Mr. and Mrs T. O. Collins , died at the homo ot his parents from bleeding to death. Walter had had a tooth pulled. ' The bleed ing could not bo stopped and death was the result , llo had been botheicd with the toothache for some time and visited the dentist nud had it extracted. For some un known reason a heavy hemorrhage set In and though several doctors were called the bleeding could not bo stopped. His life gradually < -bbe < l away and a llttlo before noon death occurred. The first letter asking for tiansportatlon for the return of Iowa soldiers who are homo on furloughs was received by the adjutant general's department today. Cap tain Sumner Dlsbec of Keokuk , Company A , Fiftieth Iowa , writes for transportation for his men who nro due at Camp McKlnley on the 20th of October. The Fifty-second men arc duo on the llth , nearly ten days earlier. Transportation as far as possible \\111 be sent to company stations and the soldiers at the adjacent points will bo ex pected to start from there. Where the men are entirely removed from company stations they will bo scut transportation directly from their homes to Des Molnes. Goveinor Shaw authorized the statement this morning that any ot the soldiers home on furlough and wishing to return to local hospitals , where they will receive the best of care at the hands of the government , will be furnished transportation. This decision ho has made because of numerous letters which come to him asking him to pay doc tor bills of Blck boys who have gone home. Ho says the state cannot aftord to pay the hills , but that It will gladly bring the boys back hero nnd care for them. The Iowa Christian convention closed this evening with nn address by Dr. Burcuart of China. The convention set aside ono day of the year for DraKe university anniversary.

When the commission was appointed by the supreme court ot the United States to resurvey - survey and relocate the boundary line be tween the state of Iowa and Missouri at the disputed point , four miles west of this place , it was believed the trouble that had been o'ng ' on for twenty-three years had been finally settled. Recent developments , how- i , provo that such Is not the case.

The strip ot land , varying In width from fifteen feet to 200 yards and two mllea In length , has been a greater expense and caused more annoyance than any other matter of a like nature In the history of the tw-o states.

( Special. ) "No Eectlon of the country has produced better apples this year than has the territory con tlguoua to Sioux City , Including north western Iowa , northeastern Nebraska and southeastern South Dakota , " declared 1. N. S tone before ho took a train for Ponca , Neb. , at which placeho has n large apple orchard. Mr. Stone Is quite enthusiastic over the possibilities of this section for apple grow ing. Ih > savs the soil nud the cllmato are well adapted to the production of apples , nnd ho thinks the prospects for the devel opment of the Industry are bright , lu imst years , It seems , some of the fruit growers of this vicinity became discouraged through the lack of success In growing np- plcs and came to the conclusion that the conditions hero nro not suitable for apple growing. Mr. Stone declares now that there Is not a section In the country which has produced as good an apple crop this > ear as has the Sioux City territory. There are 6,000 apple trees In Sherwood's orchard near Ponca , Neb. , which Is the apple Held In which Mr. Stone Is Inter ested with Day Bros , of Ponca. About one- half of the tiecs bore fruit this year , the other half being yet too young On trees from ten to twelve > ears old the yield was , from three to six bushels per tree , which Is nn excellent yield. About fifteen vari eties of apples are grown In this orchard , the most prominent varieties being as fol lows. Duchess of Oldcubcrg , Wealthy , Ben Davis , Snow , Walbrldge , Jonathan , Jcan- nctto and Hans. All the apples which have been taken from the Sherwood orchard have been bold to a local commission house. This firm has received apples this year from Michi gan , Missouri and other sections , but the buyer assured Mr. Stone that only ono ship ment of apples received this year could compare with the fruit which came from the Ponca farm. The apples of which the commission man spoke had come from Hur ley , S. D , where borne fine fruit has been grown this season. "Michigan and Mlssouil apples , " said Mr Stone , "seemingly are out classed this year by South Dakota , Ne braska and Iowa apples. "As for the unusual success with which apple growers have met this year , " he said. "I would say It IB due largely to two caiibcs , besides the excellence of the boll and cllmato. We have had no trouble what ever with bugs , which sometimes play havoc with apple crops This section of the country Is llttlo bothered by Insects. An other thing , wo have had no frosts to Injure the growth of the fruit. Everything has been conducive to the best success. "To my mind , " continued Stone , "this part of the country has a future before it as an apple-growing section , if fruit grow ers will only take hold of the matter and take advantage of the conditions. If they have met with dlbcouragements In the past , It was bocaiibo they did not have the benefit of the expeilence of which they can now avail themselves. Some tried to grow ten der varieties of the fruit here nnd met with failure because the conditions were not adapted to such varieties. It has since been found , however , that other vntletlob can be grown hero with success and great success , too. " Home 'I'll lev CM Orcaiil/cil. FORT DODGE , la. . Sept. 30.

The past twenty years has seen wonderful p r o - grcs3 in tins re spect. That this tendency will re sult in a more ro bust womanhood , better able to bear the burdens and duties and pleasures - ures of life , there can he no ques tion. But this result will he ac complished by the building up of those women already in rea sonably robust health , nnd the killing off of their weaker bisters. Athletics will mate a naturally strong woman stronger and healthier ; they will make a naturally weak , blclcly woman weaker and more sickly , and if indulged in to excess , may result fatally. A woman who suffers from weakness nnd disease of the delicate and important or gans distinctly feminine , cannot hope to recover her general health through ath letics , so lone as she remains locally weak. A woman suffering1 in this way is unfitted to bear the strain of athletics just as much as bhe is unfitted to bear the duties nnd burdens of vvlfchood and motherhood.
