The river was a great attraction yesterday nnd hundreds took the trip to the motor bridge to look at the "Hlg Muddy" with Its swollen waters. The crowd became so dcnso shortly after noon oa the motor bridge that the company found It necessary to station tlckelHcllcra at both ends. This was done wltli a view of trying to keep the people from the bridge , as the crowd Interfered with the tralllc and at tlnus oven Impeded the motor cars. The tlcketsellcr nt the Omaha and was Instructed to direct the people ple to go down under the bridge unless they wanted to cross , as they would not bo permitted to stand on the bridge. This filled to have umich effect , however , as the people were perfp lly willing to pay a nickel to get on the t.'ldgo and look at the river nnd In consequence the bridge was thronged all the afternoon.

The proximity of the two flrtM and hap pening as they did within n few minutes or ono another led to the belief that it was the woik of some incendiary.

"Tho Llf of Paul" was the subject of an Illustrated sermon given nt the Congrega tional church last evening "by " the pastor , Rov. J. W. Wilson.

Council HlufTs this spilng Is enjoying un usual activity in the real estate market and at the same time quite a building boom. The demand for houses has prac tically exhausted the supply and real estate agents are unable to meet the constant call there Is for rental property. The demand for cottage homes has been exceedingly heavy so far this jear and real estate men say there Is hardly a vacant homo today In round ! Hlufffl Owners of rental prop erty have to meet the demand and have fixed'up their houses , and this has kept the papoiliatigers , carpenters and painters busy this spring. Quite a number of cottage homes arc In the course of constructloh and the records nt the city clerk's ofllcc show that there Is quite a boom In the building line. The Rock Island railway has startcS on Us new passenger depot nnd has now de cided to build a brick addition , two storlc- high , to UK height house. This addition will be used for the freight olTlces. The Minneapolis Thresher Mnnufactuilng company Is erecting a brick warehouse on South Main street , nnd Klmball Hrotliors nro building n two-story brick addition to their elevator factory on South Ninth street.

The Terminal railway has let the contract for Us freight depot to be built near Ninth street and Union avenue and before lout It is expected that the Fort Dodgp Omaha road will have Its passenger and freight depots under way. It now looksas if City Engineer Btnyre's scheme to divert the waters of Indian creek into Big lake will be carried to a success ful completion. Already three of the rail roads Interested have assured him of their approval of the plan and their willingness to bear their proportion of the expense. The roads which have thus far signified their willingness are the Fort Dodge & Omaha , the Omaha & St. Louis and the Rock Island. If the plan is carried out It will mean the expenditure of about $55,000 and will give employment to a largo number of men. The building , of the tunnel will give a small army of bricklayers work , while ordinary laborers will find employment In the dig ging of the open ditch , which will convey the water from the tunnel to the lake. With the exception of this , It looks at present us If very little. If any , public Im provements will bo carried out In Council Bluffb this jear. It Is very doubtful If any of the paving ordered by the city council will bo done , owing to the unsatisfactory assessments laws , despite the fact the prices nt which the contracts for the paving were lot were most favorable.

Dubuque Times A book worm recalls for our Information that It was not the Immortal Thomas Jefferson , as Mr. Bryan Imagines , hut that somewhat unsavory Frenchman , J J Rousseau , who "hewed from the mountain of eternal truth" those four pillars of fieo government on which the Nebraskan , at the latest dollar dinner , proposed to rest the temple of demociacy. We believe Mr. Rous seau lesemblcd Mr. Jefferson In another particular , the difficulty both might experi ence today In recognizing their progeny. Red Oak Express Certainly the man of nil men who Is best qualified to judge of the wisdom of returning John H Gear to the senate Is his distinguished colleague , Hon. William B. Allison. Ho knows best whether Gear's usefulness Is Impaired or not nnd whether or not he Is the man who can best servo the Interests of the people of Iowa In the senate. Allison , himself , the acknowl edged leader of the senate , as well as the oldest member In actual service , certainly Is qualified to , judge of the real merits of his associates as no other man If ho should say that "Gear Is too old" or that "Gear is not the best man to serve the Interests oC his state" It would be authoiltatlvo , which can haidly be , said of such statements com ing from the mouths of Interested editors and politicians. But what are the facts ? Allison Is Gear's most ardent supporter and Is throwing the whole weight of his great Influence In favor of his renomlnatlon. He believes that no other man can t > o efficiently represent Iowa In the senate , and that it would be a misfortune to elect any other man than Gear. Whoso word shall we take for It then that of William B. Allison , or that of some curbstone politician ? Burlington Hawkee : Burlington people nnd lowans generally arc greatly pleased over the announcement that the president has appointed Hon John N Irwln to bo United States minister to Portugal. The Associated Press dispatch conveying the news put It appropriately : "John N. Irwln of Iowa. " For Mr. Irwln , though Intensely loyal to his home city of Kcokuk , and county of Lee , is n big enough man Intel lectually , politically nnd In popular esteem , to represent the whole commonwealth ; and now Mr. McKInley has decided Mr. Irwin is potential enough to represent the United States at a foreign court. And the president Is right ; he has made no mistake In the appointment. Sir. Irwln has the culture , personal address and the special qualities essential In a diplomat. If he accepts the mission , ho will be a capable and woithy representative of the republic and a prac tical conservator of the commercial interests of the American people. In this lespect , his succesbful business career will especially fit him to promote American commercial In terests in Portugal. He unites with the study and knowledge of public affairs a ripe experience In pitlcal business , a combina tion invaluable in a representative of our government whoso vailed duties involve questions of international law , court usages , commercial transactions and many other considerations , personal , social and political. Keokuk Gate City All Keokuk was greatly gratified over the announcement jestcrday that Hon. John N. Irwln had been appointed minister to Portugal All Iowa will be , be cause Governor Irwln has endeared himself In his relations to the entire state , and the entire country will be content when It knows the qualities of this American representa tive as his friends know him. A great busi ness man , a graduate of two colleges , repre senting the practical sense and the trained scholarship of America , Its best learning , Its highest ideals , Its worthiest nspliatlons , with the evcry-day working sense of the brainy American , he Is an ambidextrous man , and if ho chooses to take n diplomatic career to hlnihelf he will be n great master of diplomacy. Governor Irwln knew noth ing whatever about his appointment. This was secured by Mr. Clark , and the Iowa delegation In congress concurred most heart ily In the matter It Is gratifying to Mr. Clark as well as an Indication of the power with which Governor Irwln goes to his place as a representative of Iowa as well as the nation that every member of the Iowa del egation In the last congress and In the new congress concurred heartily In having his appointment made There are forty-five states and less than one-third ns many mis sions. Iowa has now two of the great mis sions. This achievement shows its power in administrative Influence. It Is n triumph of the diplomacy of 'Mr. ' Clark nnd the Iowa delegation that this double appointment c mid be secured for the most bought-after appointments of all within the gift of the government. Des Molnes Register1 President SIcICInley has again demonstrated superior wisdom , In the appointment of capable and representa tive men for ministers , to foreign countries , by appointing Hon. Jofm N. Irwin of Keokuk , minister to Portugal. Mr. Irwln is ono of Iowa's very best citizens and ho is popular with all the people of the state without regard to political prejudices. Ho has been connected during all his business life with the Irwin , Phillips Company. I wholesale dry goods house at Kcokuk. nnd | that largest wholesale Imi-lness In the Etato I haa required about all his tlmo. hut he has frequently been called to important public - | lic service , all of which ho has accepted I from a sense of public duty. Ho wns a j leading member of the Sixteenth and Klght- | I ecnth General Assemblies , and has seveial | times had the governorship of the state placed within his acceptance. Ho wat > ap pointed governor of Arizona , but pressing I business prevented him from rendering full i i service , therefore ho returned the govern ment drafts for the time he. did not cerve i and finally resigned because be did not ( .are to hold an olllce he did not havu time to glvo the proper attention Ho has been tendered several other government appoint ments , but has declined them all and wo fear that will be the result of the present op- polntmont , though U Is possible the great business of Irwln , Phillips Company is in ! uuch complete- business order and manage- i incut that ho may bo able to leave It for a few months. Ills appointment ls the second best that has comu to Iowa from President LMcKlnlio , being only exceeded by that of Secretary Wlluon. The saUry of iho minis , tor to Portugal is $7,500 per year , but the i salary will not receive the slightest consij- .cratlon from Mr. Irwln. The president lias ' selected the beat man In Iowa for that Posi tion a sterling representative of all that Is good In American citizenship and Mr. Irwln will only accept the appointment , if to U able to accept it. from the highest nnd best tennc of public duty. DCS Molnes Capital Iowa should not have two candidates for speaker. We prwutno Ihftt If the state presents ny candidate , that cnndldntp will be Hull or Henderson Both are good men ; both arc veteran sol- dlcrs of the civil war'both ; have had Ions service In public places , Henderson has .been . sixteen > cnrs In congress , Hull will soon have ten. Hull has bren lieutenant govprnor of town for two terms nnd by ex- jperlenco nnd temperament is specially fitted i for the olllce of speaker He would not un dertake to shape legislation , but In the per formance of the legitimate duties of speaker i would have no superior. At this writing we 1 do not know that ho contemplates being n ' candidate. One thing Is certain , ns we be fore remarked , Iowa should not enter the field ! w.Ith two candidates. If Henderson desires to run , wo presume Hull will glvu him thu right of way. At any rate. It is a snalter for tin1 delegation to determine As far ns the Capital Is concerned , we realize the Im portance of the office of speaker to the cnuntrv and to the party , nnd no nn\vtso choice should be made Reed has been a great man In many respects , but n man with the tart that Hull possesses would have matters go much more smoothly than lias been thr caee under Reed And results would be attained just as well. Hopkins of Illinois Is highly commended by those who know him best ns a man of superior ability. Con- gressmr.n Hull Is of the opinion that Laroy , Hepburn and Henderson will be In the race , ! but Is certain that when the tlmo comes for . final action Iowa will have but on cnndl- Idate | Mr. Hull feels that the west and , Iowa now have nn opportunity that will not jlm ] again presented In veato , and ho contends that no mistake should be made. The gicnt west has not had a speaker of the house , 'ami In bis opinion the time Is ripe for ex tending the BpenUershlp territory west of the Ohio river. HP sees In Hopkins a most formidable candidate , and a > s that If Iowa would stand any show nt all her people must unite on one man and push his claims oar- nestl ) nnd Intelligently.
