Unless present plans miscarry the people
of Council Bluffs will have a second elec
tric line between this city and Omaha In
full operation before many months. The
now line will bo the outcome of the plans
of the Lake Manawa and East Omaha Con
struction company , which la December , 1897 ,
was granted a franchise by the people of this
city over certain streets , avenues and alleys
for the purpose of building and operating
a street car line between Council Bluffs
nnd Omaha. The prospect * for thcso plans
being now , successfully carried out nro
said to bo of the brightest and It Is said
further that some of the material for the
new road Is already on the ground.
A syndicate of St. Louis capitalists Is to
build the line , the contractors being the
Towneond-Roed company of that city. W.
S. Reed , ono of the members of the firm , Is
at present in Council Bluffs completing
arrangements for commencing the work. The
new company will be known as the Omaha
& Council B Tufts Suburban Railway com
pany , and it will operate under the franchise
granted the Lake Manawa & East Omaha j (
Construction company nt a special election
I
tion held December 1 , 1897. At the time 1
that the franchise waa granted the route j
of the now street railway between Ninth
street and Broadway and the Terminal com
pany's bridge over the Missouri had not
boon determined on. Thrco different routes
had boon surveyed and the right to use any
of the streets along these different routes j
was reserved In the franchise. Which of )
these three routes will be adopted by the
now company has not yet been decided
upon.
The new company , it Is understood , will
not only take over all t'ho rights of the Lake
Manawa Construction company In Its fran
chise , but will also assume control of the
pleasure resort at Lake Manawa. The eteam
railway between the city and the lake will
bo transformed Into nn electric line and dur
ing the summer months cars will be run di
rect from Omaha to the lake. The original
plan of the Lake Manawa and East Omaha
Construction company to build a line to
Falrmount park. It Is said , will also be car
ried out by the new company. The new
line is to enter Omaha over the Terminal
company's bridge , but over what streets the
business center of that city will bo reached
has not yet been determined. The new com
pany intends to make just as good time be
tween Council Bluffs and Omaha ai Is made
at present by the motor company. The now
line will bo longer than the present ono , but
the company expects by using the heaviest
motors built to be able to overcome the dif
ference In mileage and land passengers in
Omaha as quickly as is done now.
Mr. Reed , when seen last night , admitted
that bla firm had the contract to build the
new line and that it waa Interested in the
new company that would operate it. There
were , however , several matters in connec
tion with the proposition that could not be
made public at present. The firm of Townsend -
send , Reed & Co. of St. Louis , of which
he IB a member , ho said , had built it lie
St. Louis and Belleville suburban line in
.that city , which It Bad sold out about five
weeks ago. Hla firm , ho said , had built
a number of lines in different parts of the
country. Ho waa unwilling to give the
names of tha financial backers of the new
line , 'but said the articles of Incorporation
would in all probability be filed tomorrow.
He said further :
"The new line Is going to be built nnd
part of the material is already on the |
ground. Tha rails have been ordered from ,
the Illinois Steel company and as you will ,
see by this letter they agree to deliver them | ;
this month. We expect to have the line
completed nnd In operation by May 10 of
next year without fall. As to the line to
Falrmouut park , that portion of the system
wlU not bo built right away. The line to
Manawa at present operated by steam will
be replaced with an electric service. Our |
company will also assume control of the
resort ait the lake. Our plans , which can
not be made fully public at present , mean
.a great deal for this city , a great deal more
than appears upon the surface. Wo hope
In a few days to be able to give out full
particulars. "

At the adjourned meeting of the Bar as
sociation yesterday the committee consist
ing of C. M. Harl , J. M. Galvln and G. S.
Wright , to which had been referred the
matter of the indictment of W. P. Cowan ,
the Omaha attorney , on the charge of sub
ordination of perjury , made Its report.
Aftetr reciting the history of the case lead
ing up to the indictment and the fact that
the first trial of Cowan had resulted in n
disagreement of the Jury and that the case
stands for trial again at this term of court
the report continues :
"In view of the fact that the Indictment
ngalnst W. P. Cowan remains undetermined
by the court In which It Is pending , your
committee feels that It would be Improper
for It or for this association to pass Judg
ment upon the matters to bo determined
on trial of that cause , whatever may be
the individual opinions of its members.
Your commit/tee / , however , feels that this
situation justifies a declaration upon the
part of this association , that it utterly and
entirely disapproves of any conduct by any
member of the bar tending in any manner
to bring Into disrepute the administration
of justice ; that such offenses when com
mitted by a member of the bar , an olllcer
of the court , are more heinous than when
committed by another person , and that th's '
association will take prompt nnd effective
measures to secure the disbarment of all
members of th6 bar guilty of such offenses. "
The committee to which had been referred
the advisability of adopting a "feo bill"
was discharged , it being apparent Hint the
majority of the members were opposed to
any such propostlon. .

DES MOINES , In. , Sept. 16. ( Special
Telegram. ) Interest In the senatorial con
test Is nt fever heat. Four republican
county conventions wcro held today. In
Clayton county B. W. Newberry was nomi
nated for senator and II. G. Brown for
representative. Ono Is for Gear for United
States senator nnd the other for Cummins.
In Blnck Hawk county C. A. Wise of Cedar
Falls was nominated for representntlve , but
was not Instructed. Both sides clnlm him.
In Wlnneshlek county Dr. J. S. Romtno , a
strong Cummins man , was nominated nnd a
great demonstration made for Cummins. In
Cherokco county Gcorgo Coburn , a Gcnr
man , wns nominated , although at a caucus
last night the Cummins men won easily.
There wna a big row at this convention nnd
several persona nearly came to blows. It
Is evident that the flght In the legislature
Is going to bo very close.
Council Bluffs , will have the honor of
giving the Fifty-first regiment the first
'reception and nt present It looks as If It
will bo the only ono tendered them ns n
regiment. General Byors said this mornIng -
Ing It would bo Impossible to take them any
other pFace In the state for a demonstra
tion and probably they will remain In Coun
cil Bluffs while changing trains , and start
ing for their respective homes.
General Byers returned from Omaha to
day , but ho cannot announce yet what road
will bring the troops home. He states all
the Iowa towns which have troops are
spending the greater part of their time
thinking of what they can do that will be
good enough for the boys. The first en
trance place Into Iowa , CounclF Bluffs , Is
going to surpass all previous records In the
wny of a celebration. Excursions will bo
run In there from all parts of the state nnd
thousands of people- will go. As Boon ns
Companies A and H of Dos Molncs have
been home long enough to renew acquain
tance with their various families , DCS
Molncs will express the feeling she hoe for
them In a great public demonstration.
General Byers suggests It would be a fine
thing to bring the four Iowa regiments to
gether In Des Molnes next spring.
Superintendent Abrams of the State Anti-
Saloon league today broke Into the row which
Is taking place over the address made to
the liquor dealers of Iowa by Francis Mur
phy , the temperance lecturer , when they
were In session here early this week , nnd
today Issud the following statement :
"Tnero has boon considerable comment In
regard to Mr. Orwlg's letter , attacking Mur
phy. I am of the same opinion as Mr.
Murphy. Wo are not as amiable perhaps
to the saloon men as we- should be , yet
I have nothing against a single ono of them
other than tt > force them to comply with
the law. I think I am doing a man a great
good Instead of a harm when I compel him
to do what Is right. All I have to say Is let
the saloon anon obey the law and that is all
I will ask at them. I do not think Murphy
Is troubled a great deal over what has been
said iby Orwlg. Ho seems to regard Orwlg
In the- light of ono "who has never baen In
oloso touch with the saving of human lives
from a drunkard's grave. Murphy Is of the |
opinion that Orwlg is speaking from a |
standpoint of Inexperience and that he is
not to blame for the misconception of the
temperance work as It Is carried out by I
Murphy. '
I Des Molnea Is to have , a trolley day , Sep-
* Lembor 29 having been chosen ns the
dote. On that day the women of the city
will run the street cars and all of the
funds collected will bo turned over to the
Home for the Aged , and Infirm , which Is
now building a $40,000 ibulldlng.
GEAR VICTORY AT CHEROKEE
Coniitry Drlcentea to the Redone nt
n Critical Time Two More Vote *
to Illn Credit.
CHEROKEE , la. , Sept. 16. ( Special Tele
gram. ) One of the greatest political fights
ever witnessed In this county was enacted
today. After a vigorous campaign of six
weeks the Gear forces defeated the Cummins
people in ono of the hottest campaigns
waged in the present senatorial contests. By
a vote of 62 to 42 resolutions Instructing for
Gear were passed. .For several days a nutn-
(
her of Cummins leaders have been here
and caucuses last night decided In favor of
the Des 'Molnes man , two of three wards
giving htm a handsome majority.
Last evening it looked like sure defeat
for the Burlington man , but when the coun
try delegates came in this morning they
came strong for Gear. The flght was carried
on in this county through the candidacy of '
Colonel Beal and Frank Coburn for the leg- '
Islaturo. The former represented the Gear
forces , while the latter was for Cummins. '

vored this combination. When the resolu
tions came batora the convention there was
n flght of over two hours nnd Cummins
loadora and Gear people almost came to
blows and the speakers got deep into per
sonal history. The country delegates stood
'by ' the Gear speakers nnd 'When the final
address was to bo made by a Cummins
man ho was hooted down. This angered
many Cummins delegatea and for a mo
ment it looked as though a general mtxiip
would follow. Never in the history of
Cherokee county has such a bitter personal
contest been waged. When the result of the
vote on instructions was made known the
convention broke Into a wild cheer nnd
marched from the county buddies to the
principal street.
Ex-Stato Auditor McCarthy as well as a
number of others have been here In the
Interest of Cummins , but the defeats of the
Des Molnes man at Pottawattamlo and Mits-
catlno as well ns here nro regarded as seri
ous. The action of today carried with It
two votes , that of senator and representa
tive. The Gear forces now have good work
ing majorities and his election seems n cer
tainty.
