For tho first time In fifteen years pay
ments on the special paving and grading a-
sessment bonds aro up to date, a fact which
Is very gratifying to tho city ofllclals. This
satisfactory state of affairs was- brought
about yesterday by City Treasurer True tak
ing up something over $5,000 wprth or these
bonds which had become past duo and were
being carried by one of tho banks of tho
city. Tho money paid In by the Water com
pany In redomptlon of Its lots on West
llroadway which had hnnn foreclosed by the
city for nonpayment of special taxes, ma
terially assisted In enabling the city treas
urer to take up these outstanding bonds.
With tho city now on a cash basis nnd
with ample funds In Its treasury to meet
all current expenses, and with the special
assessment bonds paid up lo date, the
municipality Is In tli best flnanolal condition
It has been In tor many long years. Private
Individuals or some of tho local banks have
heretofore always been obliged to carry some
of tho special assessment bonds, n tbero
was nover sufhrlcnt funds In the civic treas
ury to moot them whon they bo:amo due.
In speaking of the matter yesterday City
Treasurer True said; "It Is most gratifying
to bo able to announce thnt payments on tho
special assessment bonds arc nil up to date,
the more especially as It Is the first time In
fifteen years that they have been ho. I can
remember when thero was as much as $72,000
of these bonds past due on which the city
was compelled to continue paying Interest.
With the city, no it is now, on a cash baslB
and with plenty of money to pay nil war
rants for current expenses our financial con
dition Is better than nt any time slnco my
residence In Council Uluffs.'
Tho city council met yesterday afternoon
as a board of review for the equalization of
city taxes. Aseessor Hardin was present
with his books, but no changes were made,
tho board postponing any action until this
evening, when It will meet ngaln. The
books show an Increase over last year of
about $200,000 actual value or $50,000 as
eessnblo value. This Increase Is duo to the
number of new buildings and tho now ele
vator at tho transfer. While this Is tho year
In which only personal property Is assessed,
the law provides that all now buildings shall
be assessed. Heretofore new buildings were
only assessed every two years when the as
sessment of real estate Is made.

If tho attendance nt the mass meeting at
tho First Presbyterian church last night
counts for nnythlng it Is ovldent that, while
many of the church people may be, the pro
fessional and buotnenf men of the city are
not Interested in the reform movement in
augurated by tho committee headed by W.
W. Wallace. Attorneys McCabo and McGe
and Ilev. W. S. Barnes. The audience wns
composed more- than halt of women one
the business men were conspicuous by then
absence. Many of the mlnlitcra endorsed
the movement by their presence, nmonc
those being present being: Hev. W. S.
Barnes of the First l'reabyterlan church.
Rev. J. W. Wilson ot the Congregational
church, Hev. G. W. Snyder of St. John's
English Lutheran church, Rev. R. Ventlne
of the First naptlst church, Rev. S. M. Per
kins of the First Christian church, Rev. W.

Alexander Llthcrland of the Second Presby
terian church, Hev. J. H. Bneurfclnd of the
(Jerman Bvnngellcnl church, Hev. Henry He
Long and Hov. T. F. Thlckstun.
Tho only city official present was Alder
man LMcDonald and Justice Vlen was the
only public ofllclal In tho nudlcnco.
A set of resolutions prepared by Attorney
McQoa and read by F. C. Lougee were
unanimously adopted. ThoBe resolutions
opened by deploring tho open violation or
tho law by the existence of tho gambllna
houses, made n passing reference to tho
number of men employed In theso rosorts
aud other statistics, touched on the slot ma.
chineo and the prevalence of cards, dice and
sj forth In tho saloons aud, after endorsing
the acts of tho reform committee aud com
mending tho mayor for cl sing the gambling
houses, closed with a demand that they bo
kept closed.
Thu proceedings opened with a fow re
marks from Huv. W. S. Barnes, who ox
plained that tho meeting hud been called by
"the exccutlvo commltteo of tho nuslnoio
Men's association for tho enforcement of
tho laws against gambling." Ho called W.
V. Walluco, president ot tho association, to
the chair. Then tho nudlcnco sang
"America," led by Howard Striker, with
W. F. Thlckstun nt the organ. Rev. J. W.
Wilson asked for tho dlvlna blessing on tho
meotmg, after which Chairman Walluco told
why the oioclatlon had been organized and
what It had done to better tho mornl at
mosphere of tho city.
Ho disclaimed that it was a partisan
movement and that tho commltteo had no
hard feelings against tho gamblers them
selves. Thn work tho commltteo had en
tered upon, ho said, was not n labor of love,
neither had It any compensation except it
might bo thnt of a clear conscience. Ho
statoJ that tho committee had In their hearts
to bo conciliatory In all their, dealings with
tho authorities, but back tf all was a de
termination In their hearts to suppress
gambling In Council Bluffs.
At the closo of Mr. Wnllaco's address, Hov.
S. M. Perkins wbb called upon to read a
chapter from the Bible. Then Howard
Stryker sang tho hymn, "Throw Out the
Life Line," In tho chorus of which ho was
Joined by tho audlonce.
Thon Hov. W. S. Barnes addressed the
meeting and wns followed by Attorney Mc
Cabo. who explained the law In tho matter.
Dr. Macrao followed Hov. Barnes In a short
speech In which he bitterly denounced
Gambling and tho gamblers, whom ho desig
nated as thieves. Ho said he had (IveJ In
Council Bluffs for thlrty-threo years npd that
during two years of that time thern had been
no gambling In the city. He was proud to
say it was whllo he was mayor of the city.

snld ho was prcsldont of a moilco-pollilco

BUS MOINES, May 3. (Special Tele
gram.) Tho democrats of Iowa In state
convention today swallowed Bryan and tho
Chicago platform, A fight was mado in the
commltteo rocm against silver nnd the reso
lution us adopted was a compromise, It be
ing agreed that tho ratio of 16 to 1 would
not bo mentioned. Every mention of Bry-
nn's name in tho convention was received
with cheers, but all the talk nbout free sli
ver at 16 to 1 was kept In the background.
One Interesting feature was n resolution
Introduced In open conventlcn after n fight,
by ex-Congrcfsman Walt Butler to take up
county collections for the relief of the Boers
and send thorn to A. Vanosterhout of Orango
City, tho secretary of tho Iowa Boer roller
organization. Tho resolution wns passe..
Tho convention was not as large In numbers
as It has been In tho past and In point or
enthusiasm It was still more deficient.
At a meeting held after the convention
the delegation to Kansas City organized
with Cato Sells of Independence as chairman,
Walter Dowey of Charlton ns secretary, I
S. Cunningham of-Knoxvlllo as treasurer
nnd E. B. Evans of Des Moines, sergeant-nt-arms.
Tho state central clmmltteo as
selected also met after the convention and
organized, Georgo A. Huffman of Des MolneB
being ro-elected chairman nnd Cedar Rapids
being decided upon as the place for the next
state convention, to bo held tho last week
In July upon a day to bo selected lator on.
liK-rcnm- In lnwn Hitllrond.
Ofllclal figures given out by the secretary of
tho stato executive council today show a net
Increase of over 700 miles of railroad In tho
state during tho last year. This Is a much
greater Increase than has been shown In
tho history of Iowa railroads slnco the early
'SO's. It Is attributed to the general pros
perity of tho Inst year nnd the largo nmount
of railroad Improvements which has been
rttnrtcd In nearly every soctlon of tho statu.
Tho exact nitmbor or miles shown by tho
olllclal tablo Is 719.90. This docs not In
cludo 10G miles or tho Northwestern road
which havo been graded, but not yet laid
with rails, the now line which tho council
taxed and against which action the North
western protests, claiming that a grade Is
not yet a railroad and taxable ns such.
The Northwestern heads tho list In mile
age Increase, tho total on all Its branchrs
for the yfar being 266 miles. The Fort
Dodgo & Omaha line ranks second with
131.02 miles. The Mllwuukee Is third In
point of increase, having a total pf 82.212.
The Minneapolis & St. Louis has 73.56 and
nil tho other roads aro below fifty. The
grois Increase ot all the roads was 721.20
mllrs, but thivo was a slight decrease on
a fow lines, which made the nt Increase
fall lo 718.96.

Seven hundred teamr will ho put lo work
tomorrow morning grading on the Duluth

Wo aro now all ready to do busings and
thorfo who have maligned ns will now havo

This sets to rest nil doubts that the Du
luth & New Orlenns will enter this city

snmo of thn employes of the road a short
time ago that there were no funds behind
tho enterprise and that It would In all
probability be abandoned.
