CITY CAN PAVE ITS STREETS
All Doubt Removed by Unanimous Opinion
of Oity Attorneys ,
DEWEY DECISION A TEMPEST IN A TEAPOT
II Mn > ' Ho .Vrppunnrj'i Ilowi'Vrr , for
Counell lllnlTH In SonuMvlutt

City Solicitor Wadsworth , since his return
from Ucs Molneshero last week ho at
tended a meeting of the city attorneys of
the principal cities In the elate , has given
it as his opinion that the city can safely
proceed with the work of paving those
streets ordered Improved last year by the
icily council. Kvcr slnco the decision of the
supreme court In the famous Dewey case
it was doubtful if , under the present as
sessment laws of the state , public improve
ments could bo safely niado. This was one
of the matters chiefly discussed at Dos
Molnos and the city attorneys agreed in
designating the turmoil that , arose upon
the announcement of the Uowey case deci
sion as "a tempest In a tea pot. "
"I believe that the Dcwoy decision In no
wlso makes H impossible to proceed under
the Iowa laws , " says Mr. Wadsworth , "and
this was the unanimous opinion of the city
attorneys after they had listened to the
nblo and exhaustive paper read by Attorney
W. H. Bailey of DCS Molnes. The Iowa
laws do not make It obligatory that Im
provements shall bo assessed In proportion
to the linear front feet of abutting prop
erty. Whllo all cities have made Uiolr spe
cial assessments In this way , it is within
their power under the law to make an as
sessment. according to benefits derived. It
may bo necessary for the city of Council
Bluffs to modify Its Improvement ordinances
somewhat In order to make thorn comply
with the spirit of the Dewey decision , Inas
much as the existing ordinances make it ob
ligatory on the city council to base the as
sessments for Improvements upon the linear
feet of abutting property. "
If the city should decide on proceeding with
'the ' paving before the ordinances can be
amended , it will be on the , theory that the
Interested property owners will prefer to
pay a reasonable assessment , even though
not strictly constitutional , rather than pay
the expenses of perhaps extended litigation.
A number of the property owners on the
streets ordered paved are ready and willing
that the Improvement shall bo carried out
this year , as the contracts have been let
at a very low figure lower than will ever
be obtained again , It Is thought. Those who
were opposed to the paving In the first In
stance arc still objecting to the work being
done and see a chance for making their
objections good through the Dewey decision.
H Is understood that the paving question
will bo brought up at the next meeting of
the city council for action one way or the
other , as the contractors are anxious to know
whether they shall do the work or not.

Manufacturer * ' AnnooliiUoii.
The reception committee of the Mer
chants' and Manufacturers' association met
yesterday morning at the office of E. W.
Hart nnd organized by electing A. T. Elwell
chairman. An executive subcommittee con
sisting of A. T. Elwell , B. M. Sargent , J. P.
Wilcox and J. E. Smith was appointed.
It was decided to hold a general meeting
of the association with n banquet at the
Grand on the night of Thursday. May 25 ,
instead of at the regular meeting In Juno.
Ttio banquet will be solved an hour earlier
than on the former occasion.
The matter of extending an Invitation to
Admiral Schley nnd party to visit Council
Bluffs during his stay in Omaha was taken
up , and the general opinion was that such
an Invitation should inoro properly come
from the mayor and city council , and a
resolution asking Mayor Jennings to act in
the matter was adopted. The committee lit
notifying Hie mayor of the resolution as *
sured film that the association In genera !
nnd the reception committee In particular
would bo most willing to assist in making
all the proper and necessary arrangement *
for the reception of the admiral and his
party If the Invitation should bo accepted.
As the city council will not meet In regu
lar session before next Monday night Mayor
Jennings staled yesterday that ho would In
nil probability call that body together at
on earlier date , so that the matter nilKlii
bo tnktn up and a formal Invitation sent to
Admiral Schley. The veterans of the Grand
Army of the Republic are moving In thn
matter and are most anxious that an Invita
tion should bo extended to the hero of San
tiago to visit Council Bluffs , oven but for
a few hours , so that they may have the
opportunity of seeing him and shaking his
hand. Should Admiral Schley accept a re
ception will bo tendered him at the Granft
hotel , or in one of the largo public halls.

Old Murder Story Ili-vlvoil.
HARLAN , la. , May 16. ( Special. ) All
day Saturday there was much excitement In
the city over the renewed search for the
body of Frank Richardson. Richardson , a
unique character , who lived in a miserly
way , while at the same time lending money
to the farmers of Shelby county , disappeared
mysteriously three years ago last August.
Ho Is known to have had many notes nnd
considerable money on his person at the
tlmo of his disappearance. It Is believed
by many that the man was murdered and
his body hidden somewhere near the city.
On Saturday a woman coming from Omaha
and calling herself Young made her ap
pearance. She claims to bo a spiritualist ,
and Insists that she knows exactly where
the body of Richardson lies. Southeast of
the city about half a mlle is an old mill
turned by the Nishnabotnn river. Two and
one-half rods above the mill race is the
spot , so the Young woman says , whore the
body lies , after having been thrown there
in a sack loaded with stones. She Induced
a number of paid men to make a temporary
dam above the spot on Saturday. A little
digging was done and the work will be con
tinued this week.
The woman declares that the spirit of
Richardson appeared to her three times
lately. She says he was murdered by three
men , an Amerknn , a Dane and a Gorman ,
just as darkness came on one August night ,
and that ho was burled until the 8th day
of last May , when the body was exhumed
and thrown Into the river. She actually
points out a place half a mlle from the mill
where a hole had been dug , which now con
tains nothing.
The sheriff of Shelby county stood on the
bank watching the .performance , but appar
ently took little stock In It. A great crowd
gathered to watch things.

Crop Itiorl. | .
The crop report issued today by the Iowa
weather and crop service summarizes the
crop conditions in Iowa as follows :
There was moro than the usual amount of
cool and cloudy weather during tlm past
week and the week closed with n heavy
storm , which brought excessive moisture In
portions of the central and southern sec
tions. Iowa City reported 4.35 inches for
the seven days ending Monday morning and
Cedar Rapids U.01 inches , which will cause
some delay In field work. Conditions wcro
generally favorable , however , during most
of the week and the tlmo has been well Im
proved in plowing and planting operations.
In nil districts considerable progress has
been made In planting corn , with the soil
In good tilth. This work Is probably moro
advanced In the northern nml central dis
tricts than In the southeastern part of the
state , where there has been an excess of
moisture. Spring wheat , fats and barley
have made line advancement and the last
fek has been favorable for grass. Rut lit
tle damage resulted from the frost on the
13th. Fruit trees , vines nnd berries thai
escaped dcstrjctlon during the winter give
promise of good crops. Detailed reports
from all over the state are condensed In the
foregoing.
A frightful accident happened Monday
afternoon near Cllvo , just west of this city.

NEW YORK , May 16. A special to the
Tribune from Providence , R. I. , says : 111.
Rev. Thomas M , Clark , the venerable pre
siding bishop of the American house of
bishops , htm been much annoyed by the
controversy over the Brlggs matter , which
he considers most unfortunate. It has
brought him a vast amount of correspond
ence and many telegrams In regard to a
matter over which ho thinks ho has no con
trol.
trol.Tho
The bishop said that he did not see what
action ho could take If he was desirous of
taking any. The ordination of a priest
was entirely a matter of local control. There
was a set method of procedure , nnd If it
was carried out and the candidate for
orders be recommended by the standing
commlltee , the bishop of the diocese had
no recourse except to ordain the candidate.
He thought that Bishop Potter In this case
had exercised wise discretion and judgment
and that his letter explaining his course
was a very clear and convincing document.
In these views Bishop McVlcker , the coad
jutor , who \\as present , concurred. In
answer to nn inquiry whether resolutions
might not be pawsed In regard to the mat
ter , Bishop McVickcr said : "They can
howl it they desire , but that Is all that It
can amount to. "
Bishop Clark has also been much dis
turbed over the Funston matter. Rev. J.
B. Funston of Portsmouth , Va. , was to have
been consecrated bishop of the diocese of
Boise , Idaho , but owing to the protest of
eleven bishops , the order for consecration
has been cancelled. A special meeting of
the house of bishops has been called to
meet In St. Louis in October for the elec
tion of a bishop for Japan. The Funston
matter may bo referred to that convention
also by the presiding bishop for action. No
other business/can come up except that for
which the convention Is called , which would
prevent action by the house of bishops
should such action be contemplated.
In answer to an inquiry as to his views
of the modern tendency of clergymen of
other denominations who get into trouble
with their churches of fleeing to the Bpia-
copal church for refuge , Bishop Clark said :
"Tho Episcopal church Is very roomy. It

on many subjects. As long as a man Is
able to subscribe to the creeds and Is mor
ally nonlmpeachable , he Is generally accept
able , and some of the men who have thus
far come from other denominations have
proved to be very valuable Episcopal clergy
men. "
Bishop Clark Is now 87 years of ago and
the oldest bishop of his denomination In
the world. He will not attend the St. Louis
convention owing to the great distance.

son , as representative of the street railway
companies , has conceded ono of the main
points of difference which have been block
ing the purchase of the roads by the city.
The city's commissioners refused to execute
any security franchise to Insure payment of
the purchase price unless that Instrument
provides for present rates of faro on 3-cent
as well ns n-cent lines. This concession has
now been made. The most Important ques
tion remaining at IFSUO Is whether the pro
posed thirty-year security fraivhlso shall
run from the date of sale or from explratijn
of the present franchises , averaging about
sixteen years hence.
The commissioners assert that they will
agree to no franchise extending longer than
thirty years from ( into of tno transfer. It Is
understood that the two sides can agree on
a price of between $10,000,000 and $17,0(10,0(10 ( (

Dogerl , formerly poslmnster of this place ,
who was arrested and suspended from office
three months ago charged with tampering

this time on the charge of embezzling money
belonging to the government. Ho was held
In $1.000 bair by United Plates Commissioner
Hahn. It Is said that shortly after lib ar
rest the first tlmo llcsert deposited In n local
bunk the sum of $2r,00 in order to straighten
his account with the government. The
authorities assert that nt the time of his
arrest ho owed the government this amount ,
and the fact that ho paid It back subsequent
to his arrest on the first charge did not
obvlato his liability to arrest on the charge
of embezzlement. The nllldavlt was nworn
to by Postolllco Inspectors Gregory , Fisher
and Lcadlcy.
