The announcement contained In the cable
gram from General Otis that the Fifty-first
Iowa volunteers were to sail from Ma'nlla
today has aroused the people of Council
IhiITs ) to the fact that there IB no tlmo to
bo lost In making arrangements for the re
ception of the regiment In this city. AdJutant -
Jutant General Byors on his recent visit to
i this city stated that the regiment would bo
| brought to Council Bluffs and that from this
point the several companies would leave for
their respective homo towns. Mayor Jen
nings took the Initiative yesterday and In
the following proclamation called for a pub
lic meeting to be held Friday evening at
Odd Fellows' hall :
"To the Citizens of Council Bluffs , Greet
ing The Flfty-flret Iowa regiment , which
has so greatly honored the state and nation ,
Is about to sail for home from the Philip
pines. They will land In San Francisco
the latter part ot October and will first set
foot on Iowa soil about November 1. Ad
jutant General Byers announces that the
regiment will arrive in a body In Council
Blurts and from this point will proceed to
their respective homes. The arrival of the
troops In this city will bo the olgnal for
such an expression of welcome and outburst
of patriotism as the state of Iowa has never
known. Thousands of people will come to
Council Bluffs to extend greeting to the re
turning volunteers , as in nil probability the
entire regiment will remain In the city dur
ing the day of the arrival , and it will be the
only opportunity of seeing and greeting the
boys before their final dlspereement. It Is
the general desire and purpose to make this
ono of the historic days in the annals of I i
this grand commonwealth. In order to
prepare for this ovation and to give a royal
welcome befitting the heroic service ren
dered by our boys on the field of battle , It
will bo necessary to take Immediate and
vigorous action , and I therefore appoint Fri
day evening , September 23 , at 8 o'clock at
Odd Fellows' hall In this city , as the time
and place for holding a public meeting ot
all loyal and patriotic men and women of
the city to arrange for thle glorious 'welcome
home. ' VICTOR JENNINGS , Mayor. "

It is realized that It will take some time
to raise the necessary funds , secure the
necessary reductions In railroad rates to
guarantee the attendance of people from
outside points and to carry on the corre
spondence necessarily incident to an effort
to secure the presence and co-operation , of
the congressional delegation from this state ,
the state officials and other prominent men.
It is thought that with reduced rates on
all the Iowa roads a crowd of 20,000 people
will be In Council Bluffs to greet the re
turning regiment. Although no plans have
yet been decided on , it Is generally conceded
that the demonstration should Include a pub
lic reception nnd dinner to the soldier boys.
Governor Shaw and all the state officials
and the members of the congressional dele
gation will be invited to bo the guests of
the city on that day and assist In extending
to the regiment a fitting welcome back to
the state.
Mayor Jennings yesterday received a letter
from Governor Shaw In response to an In
quiry regarding the authenticity of Adju
tant General Dyers' statement that the state
authorities had definitely decided that the
regiment would be brought back entire to
Council Bluffs and that the state reception
to the soldiers would bo held In this city.
In his letter Governor Shaw Is noncommittal
mittal and says that until the regiment
reaches San Francisco and Its wishes are
ascertained , nothing definite can be decided
upon. Ho says the fitate authorities will
take the regiment to any point In the state
where Its members may wish to bo received.
Governor Shaw , however , says that ho has
no doubt the returning soldiers will be will
ing to stop a few hours at the point "where
their feet first press the soil of their native
state" and that wherever that may be he
intends to bo present. Ho says further
that ho had anticipated going to San Fran
cisco to meet the regiment , but will not bo
able to now and will bo compelled to dele
gate the office to one of the state officials.
PllOCEKIHXOS OK TUB CITV COUNCIL.
Iltilx Ar * Ononeil for Erection of n
.Municipal I.lKlitliiK I'lnnt.
At the meeting of the city council last
night the bids for the erection of a munlcl-
ipal electric lighting plant were opened. Bids
were submitted by the J. P , Miller company
of Chicago , Municipal Construction com
pany of Chicago , the Scckner Contracting
company of Chicago and' ' the Council Bluffs
Gas and KJectrlc company. With the ex
ception of that of the Seckner company
each of the 'bids i ns accompanied' by n cer
tified check on n local bank for $11,000. The
Scckner company's 'bid ' was accompanied by
a bond of the American Surety company for
5,000 , but after the bid - > \ns opened a cer
tified check on the First National bank of
this city was substituted. The bids , after
being read , w ro referred to Electrician
Ivovett for tabulation , ho to report at nn
adjourned meeting to be held tomorrow
night.
The Cuncll Bluffs Gas and Electric Light
company submitted two propositions , ono to
sell the city Its plant and the other to fur
nish the street lighting at so much per
are lamp , The. company In Its first propo
sition offers to sell to the city Its plant for
the Biiin of JGl,8f,0 , upon the following
terms and conditions :
"First A mortgage shall bo placed on the
property-securing bond , bearing Interest at
the rate of 5 per cent , which bonds we will
accept In payment for the property , The not
revenue derived from the operation of the
plant shall bo applied as follows :
" 1. In payment of semi-annual Interest at
the rate of 5 per cunt upon the bonds afore
said.
" 2. In payment of repairs , Improve
ments or betterments ,
" 3. In payment of sinking fund to redeem
the principal of the bonds.
The bonds may ba made to run for a
sufficiently long period to Insure the euc-
croa of this plan and to ob
viate any possible danger of forfeiture by
the Inability of the property to earn aufil-
clfriit to redeem tlui bonds , within any speci
fied time. The bonds to bo In denominations
of $500 , to be Todeemablo at any time.
"Second To make this plan feasible It will
bo necessary for the city of Council Bluffs to
enter < into a contract for lighting it lie. streets
for o period of not lesa than ton years. We
suggctit that the price to be paid for lights
should bo fixed at $73 for the first five years
and that at the expiration of this period a
rearrangement of prices should be madeto
correspond with the then existing conditions
of the business. The contract uhould pro-
vldo iu thu event of the plant not having
paid for Itself at the expiration of ton yearn
that the contract may bo extended and the
ratra for light adjusted at the expiration of
each flvo-year period.
"Third A minimum rate of charges to
private consumers to bo determined by
mutual agreement , which rate shall bo
maintained until the bonds are retired and
the property paid for In full. Such a pro
vision Is necessary to Insure the successful
operation of the plant at a profit.
"Fourth In the event It becomes neces
sary to make extensive Improvements to the
I plant , cither by way of extensions nnd ml-
or In replacing present machinery ,
wo will advance the necessary moneys at 5
per cent , nnd take additional bonds scoured
by mortgage upon Uio plant to provide for
these now moneys. ( The mortgage secur
ing the bonds can bo drawn In such a man
ner that this end can readily bo accom
plished. )
"Fifth Wo will operate the plant , It de-
aired , for the period of six months without
any charged for superintendence and collec
tion of rates.
"Sixth If , at the expiration of seven
yoare , the city la not satisfied to continue
tho. operation of the plant , wo will take It
back without cost or charge to the city.
"Seventh The city shall not dispose of
tha plant to any third parties until It
shall have been paid for In full.
i "Eighth The city shall enter Into n
covenant to expend all necessary moneys
in , keeping the plant in strictly first-class
repair and In purchasing now machinery ,
when required , out ot tie surplus earnings
of the plant , or out of the new moneys
In section No. 4 , but the city shall neither
directly nor Indirectly assume any debt or
obligation beyond Us agreement to pay for
light when and aa furnished. Wo will at
once enter Into a contract with the city of
Council Bluffs In accordance with the terms
of this agreement.
"Tho electric machinery and plant of the
Council Bluffs Gas and Electric company are
now In first class repair ; much oC the ina- '
chlnery , whilst It is old , Is as good as new ,
and will continue to perform cfllcloit service -
ice for several years. Wo at present have
a capacity for a largely Increased business ,
and If necessary new machinery can bo ad
ded at a email cost. The polo line has
been almost entirely rebuilt. Present con
ditions warrant a belief that the property
will pay for Itself In from ten to twelve
years ; but under this plan , If any largo ex
penditures become necessary , the city will
run no risk of forfeiture by foreclosure of
mortgage , ample provision having been
tnado for new capital requirements. Elec-
trie machinery Is constantly being Improved ,
and dynamos and engines which today are
modern , In seven or eight years will become -
como more or less obsolete.
"Under this plan the city will bo In pos
session of practically a new plant at the
expiration of the contract. It must also bo
borne In mind that under the terms of
this plan thcro Is no fixed price which shall
bo charged for public light beyond the term
of five years , and at the expiration of each
five yeans after the first thcro must bo a
readjustment based upon the then ex
isting conditions of the 'lighting ' business.
In this way the city will bo protected
against a long tlmo contract at high rates. "
For furnishing street lighting the company
submitted the following bids :
One hundred and fifty arc lamps for a
period of five years at $73 per lamp , addi
tional lamps same rate , or a sliding scale
of $75 to $71 ; 150 arc lamps for a period of
ten years at $67.50 per light , additional
lights same rate , or for same period at
$68.BO per lamp lor- first five years , . .rateto
be rearranged at expiration of flvo years
to correspond with the then existing condi
tions of business ; 150 arc lamps for a period
of fifteen years at $65 per lamp , additional
lights at same rate , or for same period at
$67.50 ror the first five years , prices to bo
rearranged at the end of each five year
period , or a sliding scale of from $72 to $58
per lamp.
The bid of the Municipal Construction
company contained two propositions :
First Ono hundred and fifty arc lamps at
$70 per annum per light and $60 per lamp
additional ; city to enter Into fifteen year
contract at this price with a twenty-five
year franchise ; the plant to be bonded for
$104,000 at G per cent Interest.
Second Two hundred lamps at $55 per
lamp per annum and $50 per lamp addi
tional ; fifteen year contract any twenty-five
year franchise ; plant to be bonded for $112-
000 at C per cent Interest.
The bid of the J. P. MUler company Is to
liuild a plant according to the plans and
specifications adopted by the city with a
capacity of 150 ars lamps and 5,000 Incan
descent lamps , the plant to bo bonded for
$112,000 and deeded to the city , the bonds
to carry 5 per cent Interest ; the city to
'levy 5 mills each year to pay for it. This
company does not ask for any contract in
KB bid.
The Seckncr company submitted two bids.
First ; the company to build the plant ac
cording to the plans and specifications and
deed It to the city , the city to pay $68 per
annum for 15 years per lamp for 15C
are lights. Second ; the company to build
the plant according to Its own plans and
specifications and deed It to the city , the
city to pay $65.50 per lamp for 156 lamps
per annum for 15 years.
Prior to taking up the matter of the
bids some routine business was disposed
of. A rraoluUon was adopted rescinding
the resolution adopted by the council April
10 , last , authorizing the Issuance of bonds
to refund the outstanding water nnd gen
eral fund warrants against the Issuance of
which Attorney J. J. Shea Instituted in
junction proceedings In the district court.
As soon as this resolution had been
adopted another similar to the one adopted
In April was Introduced , providing for the
refunding of $65,000 outstanding water war
rants at1.12 per cent.
Aldonnan Brough suggested that the mat
ter bo laid over to Thursday night , as ho
had reason to believe that the bonds could
bo disposed of at a lower rate of Interest.
This brought Alderman Casper to his feet
with a protest against any delay and in his
excitement he Ut the cat out of the bag.
From his remarks it developed that a party
named Van Vochten of Cedar Rapids has
made an arrangement to take up the bonds
at 4 % per cent interest nnd that although
It might bo possible to dispose of the bonds
at 4 per cent , as Casper stated It , "It was
necessary that there bo a dividend some
where for certain things. " This was taken
to mean thai' for the purpose of effecting the
"compromise , " which the city ofllulals qre
reported to have been considering as a means
of stopping the pending litigation , It was
necessary that Uio party purchasing the
boniiB should have an extra % per cent In
terest.
The announcement from Casper created
quite n sensation among the citizens present
and Cashier Hannan of the First National
bank , who last April offered to take 1he re
funding bonds , was given the privilege of
the floor. Ho eald ho was satisfied ho could
place the refunding bonds at 4 % per cent or
perhaps even better if the matter was per
mitted to lay over until Thursday. He bo-
lleved that the people of Council Bluffs
should bo allowed to have a finger In the
pie as well aa the Cedar Itaplds people
After some dlacusulon the matter was laid
over and the rtfcoluUon which had been pro-
psr < * J , calling for the refunding of $150,000
general fund warrants , was not read. That
the city was figuring on refunding the out
standing Indobtcdnroa will come as a con
siderable surprise to the people of thu city.
Thu contracts for brick sidewalks were
awarded as follows ; John Mulqueen , twelve-
foot walks ; John Sklukle , blx-foot , and 5-foot
walks ; B. P. Wlckham , four-foot walks.
L. Rosenfcld was granted permission to
conduct n saloon at 164 Broadway.

SMITH AND YANCY MAY HANG

Arrested lu louu for Murder of
Tivo llrnkcnien.
-MARSHALLTOWN.-Ia' . , Sept. ID. ( Spe
cial. ) That "Sloppy7'Smith , alias Cunning
ham , and Charles Yancy , the two Omaha
toughs now in the Story county Jail on the
charge of assaulting Conductor Hicks , are
two of the three unknown men who mur
dered Brakemen Mathews and Wilson on a
Great Western train Just west of this city
on the morning of August 21 now seems
certain In fact they have been positively
identified as the supposed tramps who
boarded the train at the water tank in this
city and who did the shooting.
Sheriff McPherson returned from Ames
today , to which place ho had gone to look
the men over. With him on the trip waa
Conductor Flckas , who was In charge of
the train on which the murder was com
mitted and who had a fair look at the
murderers as they climbed onto the cars.
As soon as Fickas saw the men In the Story
county Jail he recognized them nt once and
did no * hesitate to Identify them as the
men wanted for the murder of the brake-
men.
men.The
The other of the trio Is now under arrest
in Newton , where ho committed some minor
crime. Ho gives the name of Crocket.
Sheriff McPherson and the county officers
will at once take steps to have the men
brought hero for trial. It Is thought that
this can be easily done , slnco the charge
against them in this county is a much
graver one than these on which they are
now in Jail.
"I will bring them back to Marshall
county , " said Sheriff McPberson today , "and
I will hang them , too. I have evidence
enough against at least ono of them to In
flict the death penalty , I believe. Thcro Is
no question In my mind but that they are
the men who killed poor Mathews and
Wilson , and I bellovo they will swing for
It. "
It is understood that the county officers
are in possession of evidence sufilclent to
show where these men were every hour from
the moment of the murder to tholr aTest
at Kelley. They are the ones who were
traced south from this city to the Rock
Island railway and who engaged In a battle
wltlh the sheriff's posse In the public park
at Grlnnell. After this fight they traveled
northwest to Ames , at which point they took
a train for Des Molnes , on which train they
got into n difficulty with Conductor Hicks
and shot him through the arm , which led to
their arrest. It Is sold that a farmer living
north of Grlnnell , at whoso house the mur
derers took breakfast the morning after the
murder , has Identified Smith and Yancey as
two of the men who came to his house with
their clothing spattered with blood ,
Slnco the capture of Smith nnd Yancey
for shooting Conductor Hicks , Smith has
been sick and his condition was such that
lie needed medical attention. Smith's con
science and his illness must have got the
better of his Judgment , for ho told the doctor
that while the scrape Into which ho had got
In Story county didn't trouble him , he didn't
know how they were going to get out of

DES MOINBS , la. , Sept. 19. ( Special Tel-
ogrnni. ) Governor L. M. Shaw received the
following cablegram this afternoon from
Colonel Leper of the Fifty-first Iowa :
"MANILA , Sept. 19. The Flfty-nrst Iowa
will sail on Thursday , this week , on board
the transport Senator for San Francisco.
( Signed. ) "LOl'UR. "
It Is estimated that It will take from
three to four weeks for the regiment to
reach San Francisco by way of Honolulu
and by that tlmo complete arrangements will
have been mndo for the reception of the
Iowa soldiers and their transportation across
the continent home.
General Ilycrs , who has been In Dubuque
mustering In Company A , of the now Forty-
ninth Iowa regiment , will reach DCS Molnes
this evening and hopes to complete arrange
ments at once for the transportation of the
troops to Council llluffs. A meeting was
called at the Young Men's Christian associa
tion auditorium for Thursday evening to
plan for the reception of companies A and
H when they reach DCS Molncs.
The "Senator" should arrive In the Golden
Gate October 13 and will bo received by an
ofllclal party headed by Auditor Merrlam
and Treasurer Harriott.
If the now plan Is adopted with regard
to the mustering out of the volunteer forces ,
that of making out all of the papers on
board the transport during the progress of
the journey homeward , the Fifty-first will
require only a two days' rest In San Fran
cisco and flvo days for the Journey to the
border line of Iowa , Thus the troops could
reach homo October 20. Should the old plan
bo adopted of mustering the soldiers out
after they have landed , It will take three
weeks In San Francisco to prepare them for
the homeward Journey , which would make
It November 2 or 3.

Today .Mr. and Mrs. E. D. Jones of High
land Park received n letter containing a
draft for $1,000 and this message :
"We have rc-enllsted to pay oft the mort
gage on mother's home. "
The letter was from Frank E. and Rufus
'M. Jones , the 23 and 20-year-old sons of
the parents they have made so happy. There
Is a mortgage on the family homo of $ SOO
and as there arc six children In the family
besides the two soldiers , and all of them
too young to bo of much help , the mortgage
lias been a dreadful burden. When the
Flfty-llrpt Iowa was ordered homo the Jones
boys each decided to take their travel pay
Instead and to re-cnllst. This they did
and as there was $450 travel pay coming to
each and some regular pay besides , they
were able to send the draft for $1,000. They
belonged to Company A of DBS Molncs.
